AKB48 & its sister groups appeared on "AKB48G All Stars on NHK TV show “2 years since the earthquake ~ Towards Tomorrow” " where they performed their new, freely distributed charity song "Tenohira ga Katarukoto" for the first time.

10 popular girls from AKB/SKE/NMB/HKT48 were chosen to be the faces of the NHK BS promotional campaign. The members include AKB48’s Oshima Yuko, Watanabe Mayu, Takahashi Minami, and Shimazaki Haruka, SKE48’s Matsui Jurina and Matsui Rena, NMB48’s Yamamoto Sayaka and Watanabe Miyuki, HKT48’s Sashihara Rino and Tashima Meru who are forming "Team BS".
Soon-to-be-graduating AKB48 member Itano Tomomi and Nogizaka46 members Hashimoto Nanami, Matsumura Sayuri, Akimoto Manatsu, Ito Marika, and Ito Nene will make an appearance in NTV's upcoming drama "Bad Boys J". Tomochin will play the boss of a female delinquent group (that should be familiar territory for her, given the contents of Majisuka Gakuen). Nanami is playing as the love interest of the male lead.
“BAD BOYS J” will begin airing on April 6th on NTV (every Saturday on 12:50 am).
Ah! I asked myself the same thing. What does "J" mean anyway? Because the drama isn't sponsored by AKB or anything so it's not like it's a reference to her song, but maybe a reference to the same thing the song is a reference to?
