Some of the staff are a little more well known than others. The choreographers are often present in the various documentary shows, as they are the ones teaching the members during their tough lessons.

At number 4, Saeki Mika is actually a former member of AKB48’s 4th generation. The 4th generation also includes some familiar names, including Oya Shizuka, Kuramochi Asuka, Fujie Reina, Sato Amina, and Nakanishi Yuka. She graduated in 2009, due to an injury, and returned briefly to AKB48 during the Part-time AKB48 Baitoru Collaboration in late 2014.

Makino Anna (number 2) and Makino Akihito (number 5) are related: they are brother and sister!

At number 13, Kitagawa Kenji might be a familiar name because that was the title of an NMB48 single. He is also a real person!

It also seems that staff have already begun practicing. I wonder if this will be the first of many versions of Halloween Night.
