HKT48 is an all-female Japanese theater/idol group produced by Yasushi Akimoto. The group performs at HKT48 Theater at Hawks Town in Fukuoka[1].
About
HKT48 is named after the Hakata-ku, Fukuoka ward of Fukuoka Prefecture, where Yasushi Akimoto originally intended to base the group.[2] HKT48's theater is located in Hawks Town Mall in Chūō-ku, Fukuoka.[3]
History
Plans for a group entitled HKT48 were first revealed by AKB48 producer Yasushi Akimoto on November 19, 2008.[2] HKT48 was officially announced on May 1, 2011 at an AKB48 handshake event.[1] The group is the third AKB48 sister group to be launched, after the groups SKE48 and NMB48.[3] The group takes its name from its proposed base location of Hakata-ku, Fukuoka.[2] Instead of the previously targeted Hakata, HKT48 will instead be based at a theater in the Hawks Town Mall in neighboring Chūō-ku, Fukuoka.[3] This location is next to the Fukuoka Yahoo! Japan Dome.[4] In addition, it was announced that the group would be accepting applications from girls aged between 11 and 22.[1] The first round of the first-ever HKT48 audition took place from May 31, 2011, and successful applicants took part in the second round of auditions, consisting of a singing and dancing test, in the first half of July 2011.[1]. The final auditions were held at Hliton Fukuoka Sea Hawk Hotel on July 10, and 24 candidates successfully passed the final.[5]
After undergoing dance and vocal lessons, HKT48's 21 first-generation members were first revealed at an AKB48 handshake event on October 23, 2011 at Seibu Dome.[4] Of these 21 members, 17 are junior high school students or below, and two are elementary-school students.[6] The youngest member of the group, Natsumi Tanaka, was born in 2000, and 11 years old at the time of the announcement. She said that "joining AKB48 is my ambition since I was 5 years old, so it feels like a dream to be in this group."[6] The oldest member is Yūko Sugamoto, who was 17 years old at the time of the announcement.[4]
They debuted at HKT48 Theater on November 26, 2011,[7] and have been performing sets of songs entitled "Te o Tsunaginagara", which had been originally performed by SKE48 Team S and KII.
On December 31, 2011, 16 members appeared on the stage of the 62nd edition of "NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen", as one of sister groups of AKB48.[8]
On March 4, 2012, first 16 members were selected to form Team H, and appeared on the stage.[9]
