The dynamic global unit Quadlips, a major force from the AKB48 Group, just got a serious power-up: they officially welcomed MASHIRO, a talented rising star from KLP48 (Kuala Lumpur). This announcement, which dropped on October 1, 2025, is a massive milestone for the group and its fans!

Formed in 2023, Quadlips has already been making waves by bringing together select members from various international AKB48 sister groups. With the existing powerhouse lineup of FENI (JKT48), COLE (MNL48), and FAME (BNK48), MASHIRO’s addition is the final piece of the puzzle, creating an even more diverse ensemble poised for global appeal.

Why MASHIRO is the Perfect Fit for Quadlips’ Vibe

MASHIRO, who hails from Japan’s culturally rich Nara Prefecture, is a proud representative of the 2nd generation of KLP48. Her selection was announced earlier in September at the Japan’s Oshi Tera Idol Matsuri event.

A-Nexus management is clearly thrilled, stating that MASHIRO’s arrival will not only “enrich the group’s performance repertoire” but also infuse her “exceptional talent and stage presence” into Quadlips’ collective work.

MASHIRO herself expressed her enthusiasm, saying she is “incredibly grateful for this chance” and can’t wait to collaborate with FENI, COLE, and FAME to “create unforgettable experiences together!”. Her unique perspective and vibrant energy are exactly what a global unit needs to continuously evolve!

The New Quadlips Era: Fresh Dynamics and Unforgettable Performances

The existing members have already made significant strides in connecting with audiences across Asia. With MASHIRO now officially in the mix, expect their impact to amplify even further.

We’re going to see a brand new dynamic as the four women take the stage together. Given that they are actively promoting their latest single, “IDGA,” which debuted in the Philippines in August 2025, the timing couldn’t be better. I am absolutely buzzing to see how MASHIRO integrates into the choreography and the harmonies!
