1. Who is the center? Kaki Haruka returns for the first time in five albums!

 

Nogizaka46's 39th single "Same numbers" will be released on July 30, 2025. The selected members were finally announced on the late-night broadcast of "Nogizaka Koujichuu" on June 15th.

 

The center chosen is... Haruka Kaki (23)!

This is her fourth time as center, and the first time in five works since the 34th single "Monopoly." Moreover, this time she is the sole center, which is a testament to her growth and reliability.

 

 

 

 

 

2. Sakura Kawasaki & Misora ​​Ichinose on the front line for the first time! The 5th generation "SakuMiku"

 

Standing on either side of the center are 5th generation members Sakura Kawasaki (22) and Misora ​​Ichinose (22). They are affectionately known to fans as the "SakuMiku" duo, and this is their first time in the front ranks.

 

This formation, which fully highlights youth and freshness, is truly symbolic of Nogizaka in the new era.

 

 

 

 

3. Who is the first member to be selected? Okamoto Himena makes a big leap forward

 

Another topic of conversation was the first time that fifth-generation member Himena Okamoto (21) was selected.

Okamoto, who has been gaining experience as an under-member, has finally stepped onto the main stage.

 

 

 

 

4. Fans are in an uproar after Tamura Mayu, Kanagawa Saya, and Hayashi Runa are dropped from the group

 

On social media, there have been many surprised comments about popular members such as Tamura Mayu, Kanagawa Saya, and Hayashi Runa being dropped from the selection list.

In particular, Tamura has been a regular in the selection for a long time, so many people are wondering, "Why?" Is it because the selection members are getting new, or is this a deliberate reorganization? What is the truth?
