| "I think this might be a winning formula internationally."
Those were the words of popular idol group AKB48's producer, Yasushi Akimoto. According to asahi.com, Akimoto plans to implement his techniques in creating AKB48 and their sister groups to the international scene. By doing this he will also increase AKB48's profile internationally and this plan will start in Taiwan. A new localized TV program will be aired to select and create Taiwan's own 48 group. By drawing this connection, Akimoto is able to promote AKB48 within Taiwan and allow them to appear on different television programs. The article from asahi also talks about the economics in Japan and how internet is used globally to attract more people. The full article can be viewed here.
