Many of the audience members shouted “Encore! A-K-B-48! Encore!” The members finally arrived on stage wearing “I love NY” shirts on stage. The crowd loved the shirts and began to cheer. They sang two Encore songs, “Ju Nen (10 years) Sakura” and “Oge Diamond.” These were very well known among the hardcore supporters. The group left the stage and had a second Encore. This was much to the jubilation of their dedicated fans.
After the concert, many of the Japanese and NYAF press converged to the front of the hall. The group appeared and they took pictures of the group. AKB48 then turned to their fans where they waved. They then boarded their big white bus.
The concert was a once in a lifetime opportunity for AKB48 to venture outside Japan to meet their international fans. Maybe AKB48 will travel to other US cities and meet their ever-growing fan base.
Many sincere thanks to the people behind NYT for organizing this fantastic concert for the dedicated fans of AKB48. NYAF also did a fantastic job having an anime convention in the NYC area for 6 years. Afterwards NYAF will merge with NY Comic Con later in the year.
