AKB48 Group Asia Festival was held for the first time in Bangkok back in January 2019. The same year, on August 24th, the second event "AKB48 group Asia festival in Shanghai" was hosted in Shanghai. Both events were accoladed, and welcomed with success, because the sister groups united together for the first time in the history of AKB48 groups.

Since the event in Bangkok, the festival in Shanghai was further upgraded, the staging was focused on showcasing the culture of each group, and the event was well received and appraised by the fans.

For this coming third event on June 27th, 2021 Tokyo is featured as the center of the event and will act as a virtual performing stage, with all sister groups including AKB48 uniting at once to perform from theaters, online, and special venues across Asia.
