OJS48: Retired police officers make up Tokyo's latest idol group

The ever-expanding list of '48' idol Jpop groups takes a surprising turn this month with a new Tokyo group -- OJS48.

Ojisan 48 brings together 16 old men, all retired police officers and detectives, under the tutorship of AKB48 producer Akimoto Yasushi. 

A group with authority

OJS48 have one advantage. This is a group that can rightly sing about life having seen and done it all. We wonder if they'll get to the bottom of just why these manufactured groups are proving quite so inexplicably popular. 

With an average age of 61, OJS48 will debut on October 13 with a song worryingly titled "Shinkokyu" (deep breathing) -- maybe they have been investigating AKB48 et al a bit too closely.
