[@SephirothSpirit]

Was this a concert in Japan? Been seeing this all over my feed recently lol

[@cheezarose]

Yes,it was in Japan and one of the singers of the song heard it during the live and posted about it and it went viral in Japan then internationally.

@@cheezarose Yeah I know about that, saw her reaction lol. So cute.

[@cheezarose]

But why AKB48,of all things?

[@DeanfromJapan]

I’m guessing his staff looked for J-pop hits that fit well with his playlist. There are videos of the keyboard player playing snippets of Lemon (Yonezu) and First Love (Utada) during the interlude. I’m not really into pop but mad respect for the Bruno Mars and his crew 👏🏻

[@cheezarose]

@@DeanfromJapan I can understand the other two but Heavy Rotation absolutely doesn't fit in any Bruno Mars playlist, that's why I was confused. I don't even listen to him like that but even I know the type of songs he does. My only guess is that there is a weeb/wota in his staff 🤣 (Or they knew that one of the members of AKB48 was in the audience 😆)

​@@DeanfromJapani yes to my girlband of AKB48.
