[JAPAN] AKB48 calendars sell out in 10 minutes
December 25, 2007 by Dennis Amith
Three members from the musical/theater J-Pop group AKB48 (Akihabara 48) were on hand to promote and sell their calendar (Hagoromo, Y2,415) in Akihabara.
The members Itano Tomomi (16), Oshima Mai (20) and Kawanishi Tomomi (16) were decked out in Santa outfits for a sales commemoration event.
The trio sold out all 150 calendars they had on hand in ten minutes.

Can the calendars be ordered online? Is the group performing any concerts (other than their theater) between Jan. 24 and Feb. 1? Thanks!

I think it’s possible. You might be able too because the calendars for certain groups, you could usually order them from a Japanese bookstore in the US like Kinokuniya or via yesasia.com or also j-list.com. I would definitely inquire because calendars are typically are much easier to obtain. A lot of people tend to order a lot of photobooks of idol singers/groups or gravure models, inc. their calendars
