NMB48 Members
Contents |
Introduction
NMB48 has had 98 original members over 5 generations (not including Draft, Kennin, transferred members and Uemura Azusa) and a total of 117 members (Plus Draft, Kennin, transferred members and Uemura Azusa). As of August, 2016, NMB48 currently has 48 members and 15 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).
