It stands to reason. If a four girl band is good, a (+/-)60 girl band is fifteen times better! And leave it to our Japanese friends to realize that first. Give them bonus points for making sure those 60 girls are all dressed in schoolgirl uniforms. And as a chubby and bald middle-aged man, who am I to argue? You wouldn't know it from looking at them, but AKB48 has been around since 2005. On first glance, that may make one wonder if the members might be pushing their luck with the schoolgirl schtick for seven years. However, membership in AKB48 is constantly revolving, ensuring the elders fade out while their younger replacements are being groomed. The result is that AKB48, with their bouncy Japanese pop sound, is one of the top selling bands in the world. Bounce Back illustrates the reason for this perfectly. Catchy tunes and a steady stream of attractive young singers; you can't lose!
