Stage Boat
According to the news, the theater will be built on a tug boat. This "stage boat" will be towed by another ship and performances will be done on it. It's probably going to be like Team 8, just with a boat.
The idea for STU48 came from a local company who had interest in making a new group in the Setouchi countryside. Preparations are already on-going.

Next Summer STU48 will start their Ship Theater in the Seto Inland Sea
Next summer the AKB48 Group will launch the new theater of the new group STU48 (Setouchi48). The announcement was held on October 10th during the Janken Tournament at the Kobe World Memorial Hall.
