NMB48 Members

Introduction

NMB48 has had 123 original members over 7 generations (not including Draft, Kennin, transferred members and Uemura Azusa) and a total of 143 members (Plus Draft, Kennin, transferred members and Uemura Azusa). As of December 2020, NMB48 currently has 38 members and 13 Kenkyuusei.

Like in AKB48, regular auditions to recruit new members are held, and the future successful candidates, the Kenkyuusei Members (Research Students), take part of a in-training team of members that work as sub and under for the official members in various activities (mostly the Theater Performances). And then, when any of the official members graduate, a girl is promoted to fill the space.

Currently all the generations have at least one member in the group. Besides the regular auditions, NMB48 also participates on the AKB48 Group Draft Kaigi to recruit new members. The group also had a special audition (Post-Yamada Nana Auditions).

On January 2021, the teams were temporarily dissolved due to NAMBATTLE ~Tatakawana NMB Chauyarou!~. However, members are listed by their most recent team placement since the NMB48 Dai Sokaku.
