FILE - In this Feb. 25, 2012 file photo, members of JKT48, a sister group of Japanese idol group AKB48 perform during their joint concert in Jakarta, Indonesia. AKB48 is not exactly a band. It's an army of girls-next-door, ranked by its fans, and after taking Japan by storm it's getting ready to go global. JKT48, made up of Indonesian girls and young women, follows exactly the same routine as AKB. (AP Photo/Dita Alangkara, FIle)
