''Akademi Fantasia'' (commonly abbreviated as ''AF'') is Malaysia's first reality television show in which a number of contestants called students compete for the winning title and a chance to start their career in the entertainment industry. The first season premiered in 3 June 2003 and was one of Astro Ria's highest rated shows. The theme song entitled "Menuju Puncak" was performed by Juwita Suwito, who is the sister of the composer, Aubrey Suwito. The format of the show is taken from "La Academia", which originated from Mexico. Malaysia is the first country in Southeast Asia to have its own version of the show. Subsequently, it has also been followed by Indonesia and Thailand, which garners positive response in comparison to the Idol series. The show made its own history in Season 5 when Norsyarmilla Jirin was crowned as the first female winner, breaking the streak of male winners for the first four seasons. The record was later continued when Stracie Angie Anam was declared as the winner of Season 6. On 13 January 2011, it was announced that the ninth season will be the last season of the original ''Akademi Fantasia''. "Akademi Fantasia" returned for season 10 in year 2013.〔http://www.murai.com.my/article/default.asp?article_id=14822&c=1&s=1〕 It has the same name as the first season in the franchise, and fans usually refer to this program as '' New Akademi Fantasia'' or '' Akademi Fantasia 2013'' to distinguish it from the original. Akademi Fantasia 2014〔http://www.astrogempak.com.my/akademifantasia/UtamaV2.aspx〕 use season 1 until season 9 format. ==Show format== Each season of ''Akademi Fantasia'' has 10 concerts including the finale, and starts with 12-16 contestants who are called students. However, in Season 3 and Season 4, a prelude concert was conducted to determine the ultimate students. Once the ultimate students are chosen, they will stay in a house called Akademi, practising songs, acting and dancing lesson, and other activities that are related with performing arts for a period of 10 weeks. The classes are held by professional trainers, called teachers, who have an established career in the entertainment industry. ''Diari Akademi Fantasia'', which is aired on weekdays, showcases the students' activities in the academy. The academy is led by a principal, which varies every year. However, in Season 6, the academy is led by Ramli M.S, who is the academy principal of Season 2. The judging system totally depends on audiences' SMS votes (called as 'AFUNDI') and Astro decoder votes (Astro users may need to connect their decoders to the phone line to vote). The student with the lowest vote will be eliminated at the end of the weekly concert, though in rare cases a double elimination, a triple elimination or no elimination was given by consensus of the production panel. Nevertheless, there are cases where eliminated students are recruited into the competition through a voting line called 'AFMASUK'. In this case, audiences are given a chance to vote for all the eliminated students within a short period of time. The student who receives the highest vote will be recruited back into the competition. The eight season saw a new change to the format of Akademi Fantasia. Instead of eliminating a student at the end of each concert, the elimination process is conducted in a new 30-minute segment called ''Debaran Akademi Fantasia'', one day after the concert. In 13 January 2011, it was announced that the ninth season will be the last season of the original ''Akademi Fantasia''. In this season, a new format is implemented where students who do not show any improvement will be expelled by the management in a twist known as ''Operasi Gugur'' to give opportunity for new students to join the academy. The announcement was made at the end of the second concert in Season 9. In addition, the elimination process returns to its original format where each student is eliminated at the end of concert every week. In 2013, after 2 years on hiatus, Akademi Fantasia has returned for the new season and also been called as "AF2013". This season shows different format from previous seasons, whereas "duo (partner)" also can join this season. While in term of Diari, this season did not show students life in their academy (house) but more focus on dancing and singing lesson. This season also did not restrict student from bringing mobile phone, which is restricted in all previous seasons, which also there are no restriction from outside world. The major different of AF2013 is there are 3 "inspirer" who will lead this season trainers, unlike previous season which Principal as the head trainers. In 2014, Season 11 has returned and used the old format (AF1-AF8). AFSERAP is introduced this season. It was introduced due to heavy demand by viewers. However, what make it different from AFMASUK is the fact that the recruited student was not selected by voting line, but by recommendations from Faculty teaching members.〔http://www.murai.com.my/ekstra/af2014/cerita/article/articleid/622429/af2014-af-serap-diperkenalkan-siapa-pilihan-tenaga-pengajar〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Akademi Fantasia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
