No3b which consists of Haruna Kojima, Minami Minegishi and Minami Takahashi of Team A, just released their 3rd single. I am still debating on whether or not i should get it.
It was a highlight seeing Team K and Team B live in concert, and being in the 5 row right in the middle, i got a great view of each girl as they did me and the audience too. It is quite honestly, much closer than you can imagine, and an amazing experience if you are a fan.

Japanese Musical Group AKB48 to Appear at NY Anime Festival
Aug 27th 2009
Pop Group Makes Their US Debut In NYC
Norwalk, CT, August 27, 2009: The New York Anime Festival (NYAF) today announced Japanese pop music group AKB48 will appear at its 2009 event as Special Musical Guests. The 2009 New York Anime Festival, an anime, manga, and Japanese pop culture convention from the creators of New York Comic Con, will take place September 25-27, 2009 at the Jacob K. Javits Center in Manhattan, and AKB48 joins Yoshiyuki Tomino -- the Director of Mobile Suit Gundam -- and Yui Makino -- the voice of Sakura in Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE -- as guests. AKB48 will hold a Q&A session, autographing, and short concert at the Jacob Javits Center. They will present a full concert in NYC's Webster Hall.
AKB48 is a female music group created in 2005 by songwriter Yasushi Akimoto. The group was born under the concept of "idols you can visit" and is based in Akihabara, the center of Japanese anime and manga culture. Members of AKB48 regularly appear in movies, television shows, and theater, and they are on top of Japan's pop culture consciousness, singing at Japan's biggest New Year's Eve broadcast, joining Prime Minister Taro Aso for cherry-blossom viewing, hosting their own weekly television show, and collaborating with artist Takashi Murakami on multiple projects. AKB48 consists of a total of 67 members divided into four groups (A, K, B, and Trainee), and they perform almost everyday at their own theater in Akihabara. In October 2008, SKE48, an AKB48 sister group, was established in Sakae in Nagoya. AKB48's NYC performance will be their first visit to the USA.
"We're honored to welcome AKB48 to the New York Anime Festival," Show Manager Lance Fensterman said. "Japan has fallen in love with AKB48, and we're excited for their American debut, as we have no doubt the USA will fall in love with them, too."
AKB48 will hold a Q&A session, autographing, and short concert at the Jacob Javits Center on Saturday, September 26. The musical group will present a free concert at NYC's Webster Hall on Sunday, September 27th, 2009. Details of their Webster Hall concert will be revealed soon.

Wow~ I wish I can go to their stage...
Ugh... why is that you said that you're not sure you ever will go see Team A live?
I would clearly say that they are quite different, other than they are a Japanese girl idol group, like Momusu.
I would not classify them as better, but only different.
I will confidently say that I am no longer a fan of AKB48, I do not dislike them, only that I am indifferent to them as a group and have no time for them. Although meeting Mariko and Cindy in person, while in Japan was amazing. So, in essence I will not see them in concert anymore, nor do i have a desire, but they were entertaining to say the least.
