During "AKB48 Group Tokyo Dome Concert 〜Suru na yo? Suru na yo? Zettai Sotsugyou Happyou Suru na yo?〜" Day 2 - (2014/08/19)

Kagami no Naka no Jean Da Arc was performed by: Takahashi Minami, Miyazawa Sae, Sashihara Rino, and Yamamoto Sayaka

I believe this unit was picked because the 4 girls was the the leader figure of each sister group.

Notes

- This song is from Team B 3rd stage "Pajama Drive"

- This unit was originally performed by 5 members

- Despite being leader figures in each sister groups, Yamamoto Sayaka is the only one who's not originated from AKB48

AKB48: Takahashi Minami (AKB48 1st generation)

SKE48: Miyazawa Sae (AKB48 2nd generation)

HKT48: Sashihara Rino (AKB48 5th generation)

NMB48: Yamamoto Sayaka (NMB48 1st generation)

On AKB48 9th anniversary during the performance of "16nin shimai no uta" Kobayashi Kana said to Miyazawa Sae and Umeda Ayaka

"I've decided, untill the two of you come back to AKB48 theatre, i won't graduate"

Back then it was just a skit for that song.

But she really kept her promise.

:')

Can you believe 2010 AKB48 really gave us these bops in the span of 1 year, ONE YEAR.

Ponytail to Shushu

ポニーテールとシュシュ

Heavy Rotation

ヘビーローテーション

Beginner

Even up until now these songs will always be in their concerts set-list.

2010 is really THAT year.

Notes:

- By selling almost 1 million copies by the end of the year, "Beginner" was the best-selling single of 2010 in Japan.

I would literally kill for them is seriously an understatement.

A little backstory about

Korogaru Ishi ni Nare (転がる石になれ)

There's a reason why this song became Team K's absolute representative song.

I believe it adopted from Japanese proverb

"転がる石には苔は付かない"

"a rolling stone do not gather moss"

Meaning a person who's active and passionate won't get dull and remain fresh.

Back then Team K debut stage was "PARTY ga hajimaruyo" and was originally Team A's stage. There was a lot of comment like "as we thought, this song has to be performed by this member (Team A)" or "it doesn't feel right when it's not Team A" or "Team A did it better" hearing these kind of things they said "there's nothing we can't do except keep moving forward"

Months pass and finally they got their first original stage "Seishun Girls", this song was made based on the girls will to prove they are their own team with their own genre and colour.

That's why the lyric really emphasizes the phrase "We're the Team K"
