AKB48 also sends “Spirit Bombs” for disaster victims


Idol unit AKB48 recently revealed a YouTube video titled, “Todoke! Minna no Genkidama ~ AKB48xWeekly Playboy vol.1“, to send encouragement to disaster victims.

“Genkidama” or “Spirit Bomb” is one of Goku’s strongest attacks in the anime/manga “Dragon Ball“. It’s a huge blast of energy created by power that is collected from multiple people. AKB48’s video is a sequel to the original “Spirit Bomb” video by mangaka Akira Toriyama.

Both videos were uploaded through an account owned by Shueisha, which publishes both ‘Weekly Shonen Jump’ and ‘Weekly Playboy’.

Twelve members of AKB48, including Maeda Atsuko, Takahashi Minami, and Itano Tomomi, are shown in the video, saying “Do your best, Japan!”
