On November 7th and 8th, the Cool Japan Festival in the Philippines took place and AKB48’s team 8 performed 4 times within the 2 days.This was the first time for AKB48 to visit the Philippines.

The Cool Japan Festival was to spread the Japanese culture to the many Philippine fans. Team 8 performed “Aitakatta“,”Koi suru Future Cookie“, “47 no Sutekina Machie” and other songs including team 8 songs.

Nao Oota gave us a comment representing the members.
We were able to take part in the festival with the 12 members from team 8 as AKB 48. Before it started, we were very worried if the people could enjoy our performance. Team 8 has been having activities as idols that come to you, but honestly, I thought this was only within Japan. But when we stood on stage, the cheers from our fans really cheered me up and this experience has definitely made me more confident. I want to go meet many more people, and I want more people to get to know us. I hope everybody can remember each members face and name, including me. I hope we will have more opportunities to go see everybody, inside and outside of Japan.
