SKE48 is the second oldest group among these and has released 15 singles (and one album) so far (August 2014), of which the last eleven singles were first in the Oricon weekly charts. With over five million CDs sold, SKE48 is currently one of the most successful groups in the Japanese music market. The group currently (August 2014) has 67 members who are divided into three teams (teams S, KII and E) to cope with the many appearances. Jurina Matsui, Rena Matsui, Akari Suda, Sae Miyazawa and Aya Shibata are the best-known members who are also regularly part of the main group AKB48.
