Performances are resuming at the AKB48 theater on 06/13 For health security reasons, it's not going to be the usual stage shows, but limited performances with 2 members only. Performances start at 19h or 20h JST 06/13 Mukaichi Mion and Okada Nana 06/14 Oguri Yui and Yamauchi Mizuki 06/20 Miyazaki Miho and Yokoyama Yui (Yuihan) 06/21 Minegishi Minami and Kashiwagi Yuki https://ameblo.jp/akihabara48/entry-12603474513.html
Geez at least SKE are using 6 members. 2 person shows are going to be a lot of talk and less singing/dancing, shows will probably be pretty short too.
The last in the series of Shitsuren, Arigato HS events which was scheduled for 7/4 in Yokohama has now been postponed: https://akb.kingrecords.co.jp/info/003452.html So with 10 events postponed (including the one for Sustainable on 2/1) that's quite a backlog to be addressed...
It looks like there is an élection in the 48 Times https://twitter.com/48timesJP/status/1268771050474450944
Yes and no You have to suscribe to the 48times online newspaper to vote, so, multiples votes isn't that handy. (no idea if it's possible to suscribe using a foreign credit card) From the 48times site:
Why can't fans do multiple votes buy buying DVD as before? It boosted up the group's sales number and Oricon ranking. Also multiple votes means a fan could support his/her oshimen multiple times at once.
sorry if any bad wording and you ddn't understand. Just you know how online subscribtion usually works. It requires mail adress, physical adress, credit card numbers. Each of these must be unique.
For clarification, as it doesn't appear to have been mentioned here, the two winners from each block (East and West) will win a gravure photoshoot. I've just had a go with the voting procedure. As far as I can see every subscriber has 200 points. Each vote for a member costs one point. I've just tried voting twice each for Miu and Megu and it used up 4 points. Therefore in theory could each subscriber have 200 votes?
This seemed clear: "You have to subscribe to the 48times online newspaper to vote" No CDs are involved, just a subscription to 48 times.

No doubt other ways of using points will appear in the future.)
