Welcome to the latest edition of the "checking in on AKB-adjacent idols" newsletter, which I'm sure is exactly what you signed up for. Last week, I focused on how this summer's Produce 48 impacted AKB48, mostly by jacking the choreography difficulty up a level. One of the things I wrote was "a few months on, I'm still not sure it's possible to properly judge the impact this program had on either side of the arrangement." Big picture take-aways remain out of reach, but this week offered a snapshot of how the show's results are taking place on the other side. Monday, IZ*ONE
