Who is YUM48?
We are an group that covers songs from AKB48 and sister groups as well as Nogizaka46 and Keyakizaka46.
Currently we have 18 members.
For every single there is a center, a-sides and b-sides can both have centers.
When a member wishes to leave the group it is called a graduation. Members can depart right after letting Kurosawa Yuka or Kashima Rika know or they can stay after the announcement and choose exactly when the wish to depart. Some members choose to cover a song from AKB48 and it's sister groups separately from a YUM48 single, become center for the next single - as a graduation single (with Kurosawa Yuka's or Kashima Rika's permission), or include a graduation song as a b-side on the upcoming single.

Statements from the Creators
"I wanted to do things more freely the way I wanted to do them, that I couldn't do in other groups. I wanted to do songs I wanted to do. I wanted to create a group with equal opportunities for everyone, so I'll do everything in my power to make sure everyone gets the same number of center songs, the same or almost the same number of lines in each song, and even similar averages for positions in songs. I hope that this becomes a group that satisfies the members the most, where everyone feels equal and feels like they're getting to sing what they want to sing. YUM48 is not based off of skill, because if there were singing auditions I would fail them. I want everyone to just have fun." - Kurosawa Yuka

"YUM48 was created by sisters Yuka and Rika in order to provide an environment where every member is equal. Yuka goes through a rigorous process to ensure everyone gets an equal amount of lines and distribution. We don't strive to be the greatest cover group out there; we just want to sing together and have fun! To our fans - feel free to join us!" - Kashima Rika
