2005–2006: Creation and independent releases

[edit]

In July 2005, Yasushi Akimoto held an audition for a new theater-based idol girl group.[1] Of the 7,924 girls that applied, 24 girls were chosen to become members of the group.[1] On December 8, the group debuted in the AKB48 theater with 20 members, who were named Team A.[2]

Auditions for the next team were announced in cooperation with telecommunications company NTT DoCoMo.[citation needed] This was the first audition where applicants had to send in their audition videos with their mobile phones.[citation needed] Out of the 11,892 applicants, 19 were chosen, and 18 eventually joined AKB48 to form Team K in April 2006.[3]

In January 2006, Akimoto invited Mariko Shinoda to join the group without a regular audition, after she won a popularity vote by AKB48 visitors.[4][failed verification] She was working as a waitress at the AKB48 Cafe after she missed the group's first audition.[5]

AKB48 released its debut single "Sakura no Hanabiratachi" in February 2006. This single entered the TOP10 Oricon weekly charts and sold 22,011 units in its first week, a rarity for a group on an indie label.[6] On March 1, AKB48 released its first photo book Micchaku! "AKB48" ~Shashinshuu Vol.1 the DEBUT.[citation needed] On March 31, Yuki Usami became the first member to "graduate" from the group.[citation needed]

AKB48 was preparing to make a major debut, on March 26, 2006

On June 7, the group released its second single, "Skirt, Hirari".[7] Two days later, the group performed on television for the first time.[3] Ayako Uemura graduated from the group on June 17.[3][importance?] In August 2006, AKB48 signed a major label contract with DefStar Records, a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment.[8]

The title single was recorded with 20 members selected from Team A and Team K.[9] It debuted at number 12 on the Oricon weekly single charts.[10] In the first six weeks of its release, "Aitakatta" sold a total of 25,544 copies.[10]

In October, AKB48 announced auditions for the formation of Team B;[11] 13 girls were added in December 2006.[12] On November 3 and 4, AKB48 held concerts titled "AKB48 First Concert: Aitakatta ~Hashira wa Nai ze!~" at Nippon Seinenkan in Shinjuku.[3] December 2006, AKB48 made its first ever lineup change: Kazumi Urano, Shiho Watanabe and Natsumi Hirajima were transferred from Team A to Team B as supporting members.[3] Ayumi Orii graduated from the group shortly after this, though she appeared in the unit Crayon Friends from AKB48 after her graduation. [citation needed][importance?]

AKB48's second major single "Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru" was released on January 31, 2007.[13] It debuted at number seven on the Oricon TOP10 charts.[13] Its music video and lyrics have hinted at the subject of enjo kōsai (compensated dating).[14]

On February 27, AKB48 released its tenth overall single, "Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008", a rendition of its debut indie single when there was only Team A in AKB48. The tenth single features ten members from Team A, six members from Team K and five members from Team B.[21] A promotion was planned where people who had collected the 44 kinds of posters of the single CD would be invited to a special event, but this act was a suspected violation of the antitrust law, and it was eventually cancelled by DefStar Records.[22]
