And we will also have planned mini-concerts and performances as the main event,
in addition to a dress-like AKB booth, a costume museum, Asian food corners, and much, much more.
Anyone and everyone who come to this event will be able to enjoy and the fest will definitely be able to be a huge event of the year.
And do definitely buy the Enjoy Ticket and the Event Ticket to enjoy the activities and get a high-five with your favorite member.
And next, for Part 2, there will be a concert that you must watch at least once in your lifetime,
which is a joint concert by the AKB48 groups, which is the first ever in the history of AKB48.
Be prepared for an extravagant concert and remember to cheer for your favorite member as they sing and dance on stage.
