Japan's AKB/SDN48 girls turn into VIPs and head to Big Bang's concert

Via tokyohive: On May 13th, AKB48's Maeda Atsuko and Shinoda Mariko along with SDN48 member Sato Yukari made their way to Chiba's Makuhari Messe for Big Bang's "Love & Hope Tour 2011" concert. Maeda blogged the most about it, showing off her VIP (Big Bang's fanclub) gear. Being in the top girl group in Japan can be tiresome and even these girls need some down time for some relaxation and fun. Maeda posted, "Mariko and I were particularly fired up!! It was the best way to relax. I'm very thankful to BIGBANG." After the concert was over, Shinoda and Sato went to fellow AKB48 member Kojima Haruna's house to eat curry, but Maeda had to return back to work.
