AKB48, the most popular idol group in Japan at the moment, will be singing the ending theme for anime series Dragon Ball Kai.

AKB48 has around 48 members (sometimes it is slightly lower or higher depending on how many members have left or "graduated") split into three teams: A Team, K Team and B Team. The group hit number one on the pop charts last fall with its single "River". Earlier this year, the group's newest single "Sakura no Shiori" hit number one as well.

(Cool for gamers: Last spring, members of AKB48 even cosplayed as Chun-Li at the premiere of Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li!)

Dragon Ball Kai is a reboot of the Dragon Ball Z series. It debuted in 2009 to mark the 20th anniversary of the original series. The ending theme has been "Yeah! Break! Care! Break!", sung by Takayoshi Tanimoto. It's a crackerjack tune and perfectly suitable for Dragon Ball Kai.

I found this to be a rather interesting read (after recovering from the nose bleed from the top pic in the link).

it had a break but mainly it's possible the longest running anime series (it's either behind or in front of pokemon.)
