NMB48 Members

Introduction

NMB48 has had a total of 153 original members over 7 generations, 3 draft generations and a special audition (plus 3 transferred members and 4 Kennins). As of September 2021, NMB48 has 31 members and 10 Kenkyuusei.

Like in AKB48, regular auditions to recruit new members are held, and successful candidates become Kenkyuusei Members (Research Students). Kenkyuusei are trainees who work as substitutes and understudies for the official members in various activities (mostly Theater Performances). When an official member graduates, a kenkyuusei is promoted to fill her space.

Besides the regular auditions, NMB48 also participates in the AKB48 Group Draft Kaigi to recruit new members. The group also had a special audition, the (Post-Yamada Nana Auditions).

Currently two generations (1st, Draft 1st) do not have any remaining active members.

In January 2021, the teams were dissolved due to NAMBATTLE ~Tatakawana NMB Chauyarou!~.
