8/13 is in Nagoya, so obviously SKE48's making an appearance, then 8/20's in Osaka, and ditto goes for the newly-formed NMB48; the grand finale on 8/28 is really the best time AKB48 can show up in full, because it's in Tokyo and it's the final night - usually the one that people are talking about a lot, including maybe what it could be on the DVD that would be released some 2-3 months later after the concerts!
