Zenza Girls

AKB48 Kenkyuusei - Zenza Girls Participation Table

Zenza Girls (Japanese: 前座ガールズ / Mandarin:前座女孩) were introduced after the 2009 Team Shuffle, once the new teams had gotten their own stages. Zenza Girls are Kenkyuusei, who perform a song at the beginning of stages. Zenza girls have performed for Team A, Team K and Team B's stages in AKB48, Team S and Team KII's stages in SKE48, Team M's stage in NMB48, Team H and Team KIV's stages in HKT48, Team J's stage in JKT48, Team SII, Team NII and Team XII's stages in SNH48, Team B's stage in BEJ48, Team G and Team Z's stages in GNZ48 and Team SIII stage in SHY48. Zenza Girls change with every stage performance.

Three current Zenza Girls songs were included in AKB48's album, 1830m.
