Many thanks, but I would be glad for an english summary.

Edit: Thanks again, now for the updates. Now we only have to wait for the setlist. And an answer to the question why the had the spring shuffle?

 

So the performances aren't with the teams?

This is amazing. Amazing so few senbatsu members made it in. Does anyone know if the people choosing were not allowed to pick senbatsu girls or if they just didnt want to?

 

although I'm still confused but I'm very happy they include Miyupon.

 

That concept is so weird. And the title of the stage is also super weird lol.
Well, it's not bad, though, to mix the girls like this, but in the end some girls won't get anything, right?
Well, can't wait to see the setlist now.

 

There's no SSK senbatsu member as long as I can see, Miichan is the highest ranked. But they have Akicha, the stage is saved.

Edit: @Ririe Yes, there are 69 pure members in AKB so with 4 x 16 girls 5 are out. Maybe the 5 highest in senbatsu?

 

my bet unit song center will booked by mako, mion, naachan, yuria and miichan

 

Everybody will get to be in a unit since 16 members will always perform. Up there is the shonichi lineup right?

 

This is rather exciting!

Non-regular teams, unknown stages and a whole mix of possibly glorious units? I am so interested and excited for this!
This stage specifically is a range of brilliant theater girls and some great vocal talent.

Come on with the other special teams pls!

 

Ooh, I thought these Special Stages would be with the new teams, but they're with a mix of different members from different teams? That's interesting!! Also, I noticed there's no kennins in this first Special Stage announcement, does it mean they'll use "AKB-only" members? I would like that! It would be a great opportunity for them! So far I'm liking this first line-up and I'm glad Kojimako is center! She's so cute in the announcement video, in that outfit. The title of the stage got my attention, it sounds unique but interesting, "Eve is Adam's ribs"? I'm excited to see the other teams for Special Stages! And the setlists too! I still wonder if they'll only include 48G songs or maybe even non-48G songs (I doubt but who knows). Or if they will use 48G songs from anywhere (like back during the Waiting Stages, they could use Team Surprise songs, songs from their singles, and songs from other teams' stages too).

 

Well, the stage sounds interessting~
Happy that Naachan is in, yet, I don't really know the center xD Well, I am only fan since 2015 at least xD
When does the setlist come out~?

 

We probably won't find out the setlist until the day of performance unless it somehow leaks early. It's only around 2 weeks though which is pretty soon. I wonder if the girls will have enough time to learn the setlist in time though especially seeing as some like Yuria, Miichan etc may have extra commitments with Halloween Night's release coming up. Looking forward to seeing the other lineups, there will probably be some interesting combinations in them too.

 

Shiichan in the lineup well I'm sold.

 

sooo does that mean the line up in the video is the line up we're to expect on stage? (Naachan&Kojimako wcenter, with mako main center *___*)
I wonder, will there be multiple stages performed at once or will they perform one first then the one the next person cooked up and so on?

 

No that's just the team members in the lineup. Each color they are wearing represents their team.

 

This is only the first stage lineup. There are 4 oshis/wotas that decides the setlists so we will se the next lineup tomorrow and so on. Why present it all the same day when they can tease it.

 

Ahh this has so many of my favourites! I am super excited for this now. I hope they get good songs.

 

Stage seems a touch New-K heavy...

If you are so big on Nana now, just keep paying attention. You will figure out real quick who Makotin is.

As for when the setlist is released. It is right there in the OP, Sept. 13th.

 

I like the lineup so much! So many girls I really like! This should be fun.

 

i am kinda excited what this special stage is...at least its got a new concept and Miion & Mogi-chan are together !!!
