Assembled as a sister group to idol ensemble AKB48, NMB48 consists of scores of members divided into 3 teams—N, M and Bii—and a focus on high-octane, anime-like electronic pop. The chart-topping squads have dazzled millions with their full-throttle melodies, energetic synthesised pop and singalong choruses, ensuring that there's rarely a dull moment. Sweet, good-natured vocals imbue this J-pop party with a sense of innocent joy and optimism.
