AKB48 to Release Latest Album in the US

All-girl supergroup AKB48 will release their latest album Kamikyokutachi in the US through American-based label Maru Music.

Taking the world by storm, AKB48 have reached the point of worldwide recognition. This highly-anticipated North American release, coupled with their performance at the Anime Expo Convention in Los Angeles is sure to make July a month to remember.

Kamikyokutachi contains 16 tracks, many of which have also become high charting singles, and a DVD with three choreographed music videos in multi-angle format so that fans can learn and recreate their dance moves. An exact release date has yet to be announced.

Maru Music will be present at Anime Expo this year and will be making nine major release announcements at their panel. This is the first of those announcements, so expect more release news soon.
