Nogizaka46 Members
Contents
Introduction
Nogizaka46 has had a total of 89 original members over their five generations (plus one Kennin member). As of October 2024, Nogizaka46 has 32 members.
Auditions to recruit new members are held regularly, but unlike their rival AKB48, Nogizaka46 does not maintain a Kenkyuusei (trainee) system. While the 2nd Generation did spend a period of time being called Kenkyuusei, the subsequent generations did not. Under the Kenkyuusei system, 2nd Generation members were promoted upon participation in a song on a single.
With the arrival of the 3rd Generation, Nogizaka46 abandoned the Kenkyuusei system and focused the new members’ identity around the generation moniker. Thus, 3rd Generation found themselves immediately participating on the 17th single, Influencer. Promotion was then handled when the generation was integrated into Senbatsu and Under Members on the 20th single, Synchronicity. It coincided with the creation of their individual blogs.
After the Sakamichi Joint New Member Recruitment Audition in 2018, 4th Generation members were added to the group in two phases, with the first set debuting in 2018, and the second set debuting in early 2020 after spending a year training and performing as Sakamichi Kenshusei. The 4th Generation promotion occurred just before the introduction of the 5th Generation.
