So Japan only has one "singing" group! How sad. By the way, why didn't "JapanToday " not report that on March 13th, Tokyo Tower was lighted with the group colors from a group called ARASHI. I also read that this is the first time this was ever done.

Posted in: Why does the existence of AKB48 bother so many readers of Japan Today (judging from the comments on the discussion board)? See in context
I am new in reading "JapanToday"... but since I started, most of the headlines in the entertainment section has been about them. I am pretty sure that Japan has more then one singing group. I am not into their music, too candy-sweet for me. My daughter who is in her teens finds them annoying. I know that they will be coming to the US soon and we will go see them to see if they can really sing (plus it's free or else I wouldn't bother).

I'm waiting to read the headlines "AKB48 Will Perform Open-Heart Surgery"! Is this the only group in Japan?
