No Sleeves (ノースリーブス) is a Japanese subunit from idol group AKB48 formed in 2008. Its members include first generation original Team A members Haruna Kojima (小嶋陽菜), Minami Takahashi (高橋みなみ) and Minami Minegishi (峯岸みなみ). The group is commonly referred as no3b, a stylized version of the group's name, which is a wasei-eigo term for sleeveless clothes.
The trio debuted officially under the name No Sleeves on November 2008, but were previously grouped together and performed the songs "純愛のクレッシェンド" and "Bye Bye Bye" at AKB48 concerts and stage DVDs. They have had eight Oricon top 10 singles to date. Their first single was the opening theme of the drama the three girls starred in, Mendol ~Ikemen Idol~.
