AKB48 Take Manhattan (Again)! Japan Day @ Central Park 2015
Sponsored Links
AKB48 Returned to New York for Japan Day @ Central Park 2015 on May 10th. Haruna Kojima, Saho Iwatate, Rina Hirata, Rena Nozawa, Tomu Muto, and Ryoka Oshima were the 6 members who took the stage at the world famous Central Park in front of more than 5,000 fans that had gathered to perform a short set of their greatest hits. It was the first time for AKB48 to return to New York since their appearance at New York Anime Festival in 2009 and a sort of homecoming for Rina Hirata (even though she grew up in Arizona).
One of the good things about photography being forbidden at many events in Japan is that the people in the back don’t end up watching the performances through the screens of the phones and cameras of the people in front of them?
In addition to the performance, some of the members went to visit the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty.
You might have noticed that Haruna Kojima is absent from those pictures. Maybe it’s because she was hanging out with Hello Kitty?
The performance from Japan Day @ Central Park 2015 will be uploaded to AKB48’s YouTube channel so, stay tuned!
