Welcome everybody to Episode 141 of Stage48 Countdown, I'm Forrest Fuller. On Today's Episode, we will be counting down the 10 Biggest Risks Taken by Management that paid off. Before we began, let's look at the 5 Risks that were just shy of making the countdown. Here are your Honorable Mentions.

3) Creation of Nogizaka46 (55 Points)
2) Sasshi Transferring to HKT48 (84 Points)
1) Creation of SSK (100 Points)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Creation of the SSK is #1. One of the biggest risks of all time from the 48Groups that paid off. The SSK begin in 2009 as it was something to let the fans vote for their favorite girl to be apart of the next single (which in that time was the 13th Single). The first one featured members from AKB48 and SKE48. Over time, other members of sister groups you were able to vote (NMB in 2011, HKT in 2012, NGT48 in 2016, and STU48 in 2017).

It was known as a risky move as this was something that was never done before. If something like this were to fail, AKB48 wouldn't be the big group we know about today. Luckily it was a huge success and it's known as the biggest event in the 48Group (The 48G's Wrestlemania/Wrestle Kingdom pretty much).

Time to being Episode 142 voting.
