AKB48’s sub-unit No Sleeves is going to continue their LISMO drama, called “Kotodama no Onnatachi.” LISMO is a “LISten MObile service”, provided by “au by KDDI“, where members are able to listen to music and watch clips on their mobile phones or computers. On a regular basis they release original short dramas, such as the above mentioned “Kotodomo no Onnatachi” that was available on LISMO last summer. — Just like last year, the trio of No Sleeves are going to play the starring role and continue with their instructions given by their boss ala “Charlie’s Angels”. The difference is that their missions are all about helping people who troubled with love, life, or work. It’s their power of encouraging words that usually end up rescuing other young people from their depression. “You won’t be able to do anything if you are afraid of being disliked,” a trademark sentence from AKB48’s producer Akimoto Yasushi that will be recited by the girls in the drama. No Sleeves member Kojima Haruna comments about the power of words, “We often receive such words from Akimoto and they are usually able to eliminate all our troubles at once. They will be a part of this drama too.” The short drama will start on June 3rd and is four episodes long, with each new episode becoming available for download every Friday. Fans without an “au by KDDI” account will have to wait for a possible DVD release later this fall. Source: Nikkan Sports, Cinema Today, Tokyohive
