In the year 0048, dystopian rule by the anti-music DES has led to the banning of all entertainment following the great wars. In response, a group of courageous young women have revived the iconic J-Pop group AKB48 to form the revolutionary AKB0048 - a Band of Sisters. These talented rebels are not only gifted performers, but also skilled in combat and choreography, making them equally suited for the stage and the battlefield. Guided by their enigmatic leader, Sensei Sensei, they are willing to sacrifice everything to ensure the galaxy is a safe haven for those who love to dance and sing.
