AKB48 and KISS

2013-10-31 | KISS

I am usually wearing one of my many KISS t-shirts during the weekend.

Below are pictures of AKB48 members sporting their KISS t-shirts as well.

AKB48 is a popular Japanese idol girl group.

The band has sold over 20 million CDs and holds the record for most singles sold in Japan by a female group.


僕は週末たいていキッスのＴ－シャツを着てますが、

AKB48のメンバーも好きみたいですね。


高橋みなみ - Minami Takahashi



秋元才加 - Sayaka Akimoto



指原莉乃 - Rino Sashihara
　　　　


横山由依 - Yui Yokoyama



And of course, from Mr Paul Stanley's very own twitter.

Here the band is pictured with NMB48 (AKB48's sister group from Osaka) when they both appeared on Asahi TV's "Music Station" on October 18th, 2013.
