Due to the ongoing damage from the earthquake in eastern Japan, AKB48 has decided to cancel their appearances at Yokohama Arena, which were originally scheduled for March 25th - 27th.

Influenced by the planned blackouts in the Kanto region, they announced on their blog, "Originally, we were told that we wouldn't be able to do the concerts with the content that we had planned, and we decided it would be best to cancel them altogether."

Details on ticket refunds will be announced soon.
