Idol group AKB48 is now confirmed as one of the artists for the upcoming Asia Song Festival, which is being held in Seoul, Korea, on October 23.
This is the 7th year for the festival, which gathers top artists from several Asian countries. In past years, Japan has been represented by Arashi, Kumi Koda, Ayumi Hamasaki, V6, and others.
Some of the Japanese press are playing up the fact that for the first time, the extremely popular AKB48 will be performing on the same stage as Korean girl group KARA, who recently debuted in Japan and have been selling very well.
AKB48 plans to send 16 members to the festival, including Yuko Oshima (21) and Rino Sashihara (17).
