SDN48 getting major label debut

During their one-year anniversary performance on Sunday, AKB48 sister group SDN48 formally announced that they will be making their major label debut this fall. During the show’s encore, all 37 current members took the stage to deliver the good news.

It was already expected by fans that they would release a single, as SDN48 is currently holding their own “election” (similar to AKB48′s) through their television show “Suppon no Onnatachi” to select 12 top members. Those 12 will participate on the upcoming single, which will be released through Universal Music.

SDN48 was officially launched in August 2009 as a group with a more “adult” concept, whose shows were only open to fans over 18 years old. However, the group has indicated that they plan to get rid of the age restriction in the future.
