STU48 is a Japanese idol girl group and a sister group to the popular AKB48. They were named after the Setouchi region and officially debuted on March 31, 2017. Unique to STU48 is their concept of being a traveling group, originally planned to perform on a ship that would sail around the Setouchi region, connecting with fans across the islands. Their base theater, however, was later established in Hiroshima in 2019.

The group has released several singles since their inception, gaining a dedicated following with their music and performances. Reflecting the energetic and dynamic nature of idol culture, STU48's discography includes hits like "Kimi wa Nani wo Kōkai Suru no?" and "Iki wo Suru Kokoro," each capturing the vibrance and emotional resonance characteristic of J-pop's idol scene. STU48's music often revolves around themes of youthful passion, aspiration, and the complexities of growing up, delivered with the charm and synchronized precision of its versatile members. Their releases are frequently accompanied by multiple editions, including Special Editions that cater to the hardcore fans with additional content and collectibles. The group also ventures into thematic performances and concept albums, further solidifying their presence in the idol world.
