26 girls passed the SNH48 1st Generation auditions
SNH48 (AKB48's overseas sister group) revealed the 26 girls who passed the first generation auditions on the 15th of October - out of 38,000 applicants.
Their first performance is planned to be around the end of the year or early next year and their theater is scheduled to be opened next spring.
A press conference was held on the 14th but Japanese media wasn't allowed attendance, due to the dispute on the Senkaku islands. [Totally expected this. Tsk.]

AKB48's 2nd Big Reshuffle Effective Date
On the very first day of the AKB48's first ever Tokyo Dome concert, 'AKB48 in TOKYO DOME ~1830m no Yume~', AKB48's team big reshuffle was announced and that Team 4 will be discontinued. It was revealed yesterday at Iwate Sangyou Bunka Center during their handshake event that the reshuffle will be effective from 1st of November.
With the reshuffle, AKB48 will be back to three teams but with 22 members in Team A, 23 in Team K and 23 in Team B.
Team A will have their final concerts with their current members on the 29th, Team K on 24th, Team B on 22nd and Team 4 on 25th this month.
The set lists for each of the reshuffled teams are not announced yet at the moment and the teams will be taking turns to perform at the AKB48 Theater a performance called ‘Waiting Performance’, which features a set list chosen from AKB48 songs.
Even though each team consists of 22 or 23 members, only 16 will be participating.
I don't know how this is going to work and what will the remaining 6 or 7 girls do, but I shall wait and see what Aki-P have in mind next month.
The starting dates of SNH48 members Miyazawa Sae and Suzuki Mariya as well as JKT48 members Takajo Aki and Nakagawa Haruka are not announced yet.
UPDATE (23rd December):
Takajo Aki and Nakagawa Haruka will debut as part of the newly formed Team J in JKT48 on the 26th of December. Team J will be performing "Renai Kinshi Jourei", that is a revival of AKB48 Team A's 5th stage (19th October 2008 - 27th May 2010).
