[edit] About the notation of "Akihabara48"

AKB48 (Japanese pronunciation : ēkēbī fōtī-eito) is not a contraction of "Akihabara48". In meaning "AKB" admittedly derives from "Akiba" which means "Akihabara" (formerly called "Akibahara"), but this group's official name is "AKB48", not "Akihabara 48". See official site's Q&A-1 (http://www.akb48.co.jp/q_a/) or Japanese Wikipedia (AKB48). CutieNakky 13:42, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

I have moved the article to AKB48. There was obviously a mistake made by the creator of the article, who wasn't really a big fan... Staka2ont 19:53, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
