CONCEPT Last Idol 7th Single

[Sasori]

Universal Music Japan released the first group photo for Last Idol's upcoming 7th Single "Seishun Train (Youth Train)". Just like the 6th Single, this will feature both the 1st and 2nd Generation for a total of 46 members. Seishun Train will be released on Sept. 11th.

I had no idea they had that many members

 

[demasta]

[Idol Killer]

That's quite a lot of them.

That's quite a lot of them.

There used to be 52 members. Now it's a bit more manageable

damn and they're all in one senbatsu?

Now they are. When the group was formed, the members were divided up into 5 Units. For singles, 1 Unit would sing the title track while the rest would take care of the coupling songs. They mixed it up on the 3rd single and included all the 1st Gen members, 22 at the time. For the 6th single, they came up with the idea of combining the newly debuted 2nd Gen with the 1st Gen for a massive choreo utilizing the "Art of Walking". It's similar to what marching bands do in parades. It was their breakthrough, so I can see why they'd continue the formula.

That's way too much for a group...
I can see why they nerfed their number.
