Zenza Girls
Zenza Girls (前座ガールズ) 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 and Team J's stage in JKT48. Zenza Girls change with every stage performance.
AKB48's Zenza girls included members from the 8th to the 14th generation of Kenkyuusei. SKE48's Zenza girls include members from the 3rd to 6th generation of Kenkyuusei. HKT48's Zenza girls include members from the 3rd to the 4th generation of Kenkyuusei. JKT48's Zenza girls include members from the 3rd to 4th of Kenkyuusei/Trainee.
The three current Zenza Girls songs were included in AKB48's album, 1830m.
