The official Google+ pages for the idol group AKB48 and departing member Atsuko Maeda, as well as AKB48's official YouTube channel, will all stream Maeda's final AKB48 performance worldwide next Monday. The streaming will begin at 6:00 p.m. in Japan (5:00 p.m. UTC+8 Kuala Lumpur).
Maeda's final performance will be in AKB48's Tokyo theater, which opened in the Akihabara district in December of 2005 with 250 seats. However, a record 229,096 people requested tickets — 916.38 times more requests than available seats.
As a result, the performance will be streamed live. Maeda will also ride
a vehicle in a farewell procession around the theater so she can greet
the general public. The procession will start at 3:30 p.m. (2:30 p.m. UTC+8 Kuala Lumpur) next Monday.
Google+ will begin accepting
messages (registration required) for Maeda on Tuesday. Messages with
the hashtag #maeda0827 will be printed along with the senders' profile
names on petal-shaped confetti, and the confetti will fall during
Maeda's final performance. Google+ is also collecting photos submitted
by fans for a "graduation album."
