Plot
At the start of the 21st century the earth is destroyed by war over interplanetary travel technology. Humanity was forced to flee the planet and populate new planets. This marks the day 00 in year 000 of Star Calendar.
The planets are controlled by an totalitarian government, the Deep Galactic Trade Organization (DGTO ), which forbids the use, contact, or participation of entertainment activities like music. In short, things that can "disturb the heart".
The legendary idol group AKB48 has changed their name to AKB0048 and is from now made up of girls who have the same spirit and character of the original members. Those girls will give up their past lives and suceed an original member.
Since entertainment is forbidden, AKB0048 becomes an illigal idol group who cannot hold their concerts officially. Because of that the group changes their concept from "idols who you can meet" to "idols who come to see you" and the girls learn to fight and defend themselves from governmental attacks.
The actual plot starts with an illigal concert of AKB48 on a planet called Lancastar. The young girls Motomiya Nagisa, Sono Chieri, Ichijo Yuka, and Aida Orine see it and decide to one day join AKB48.
