BKA48
BKA48 was a special AKB48 unit created from the Mecha mecha iketeru! AKB48 Kimatsu Test. The members are known as BKA48 (BAKA48 - Idiot in Japanese), and were selected from the show as the 7 members who scored the lowest on their tests. They're also known as the BAKA 7.
They're also a single unit, and sing the song Haste to Waste, a coupling song from AKB48's 31st single Sayonara Crawl. Kawaei Rina is the center, as she scored the lowest on her test.
Kawaei also performs in a harness with HASTE & WASTE (ハステとワステ).

- The score difference between Kashiwagi Yuki and Sashihara Rino was over 30 points, and ranks 1-6 were jokingly called Baka 6 as well.
- The song's name comes from one of the answers Kawaei Rina gave in the test: They were supposed to translate the English sentence "Haste makes waste" into Japanese, but Kawaei translated it as "ハステトワステが仲良く作た。" (Haste and Waste made it in a friendly way.), thinking "Haste" and "Waste" were names of people. The two dolls on the harness represent those two supposed people.
