[Pavlova]

I... think that stage is A2? I'm really not sure hahaha. Which is weird because I've watched all of the early stages (A1, A2, A3, K1, K2) not so long ago orz.

[Daisuki Daiiyo]

Oh, are these available somewhere? I've been meaning to try and rewatch them myself, so that I could find out which one it is lol I've been trying to figure it out since last fall lol For another detail, the stage in these shows is bigger than the small theater stage lol and there is an MC during the concert where each one of the girls introduces themselves, and it goes on for quite a while because there are atleast 20+ of them there lol. The outfits they wear for the AKB48 Pahomance are simple jeans and a white tshirt lol

[Pavlova]

Hello-Online has them.

The simple jeans and white t-shirt during AKB48 was definitely during A1 though, I know because I watched it literally 30 seconds ago. lol.

Stage size though? the theater always is the same size? lol
