Sakurazaka46
View on Wikipediafrom Wikipedia
Sakurazaka46 (櫻坂46; Sakurazaka Forty-six), formerly Keyakizaka46 (欅坂46; Keyakizaka Forty-six), is a Japanese idol girl group produced by Yasushi Akimoto. The group was created on August 21, 2015, becoming Nogizaka46's first sister group under the Sakamichi Series.[1][2] The group was rebranded as Sakurazaka46 after their last concert on October 13, 2020.[3] The group's fans are known as Buddies.[4]
Key Information
As Keyakizaka46, the group had released nine singles, eight of which topped the Oricon Singles Chart and Billboard Japan Hot 100.[5][6] The group had also released three compilation albums, one of which was released by Hiragana Keyakizaka46, a subgroup who later became an independent group, Hinatazaka46. Additionally, the group hosts multiple variety shows, radio programs, and television dramas.
History
[edit]
2015: Formation
[edit]On February 22, 2015, during the Nogizaka46 3rd Year Birthday Live at Seibu Dome, Nogizaka46 announced plans to recruit the first generation members for their new project.[7] The new group's name was Toriizaka46 (鳥居坂46), named after the Toriizaka area in the Roppongi district of Minato, Tokyo, and the recruitment was started on July 28.[8] The final stage of the audition took place on August 21, the same day Nogizaka46 was created four years earlier, and 22 were selected out of 22,509 candidates. At the same time, the group's name was suddenly changed to Keyakizaka46; however, its reason is unclear.[9] Furthermore, two members, Mizuho Suzuki and Mayu Harada, left the group before their first performance, bringing the total number of members to 20.[10][11]
Similar to Nogizaka46, Keyakizaka46 began airing a television show on October 4 titled Keyakitte, Kakenai? (欅って、書けない?; So, can you write 'keyaki'?) on TV Tokyo.[12] On November 29, the show announced a new member, Neru Nagahama. Nagahama had passed the auditions but did not join due to her parents' objections.[13] She debuted as the first member of a newly-formed subgroup called Hiragana Keyakizaka46 (けやき坂46) and auditions for more members started soon after.[14]
On December 16, the group gave its first live performance at Fuji TV's music show FNS Music Festival. The center position in the choreography was held by the youngest member Yurina Hirate, being 14 at the time.[15]
2016–2017: Early success
[edit]On April 6, 2016, the group debuted their first single, Silent Majority.[16] All members except Nagahama were selected to perform in the title song.[17] It sold 261,580 copies in the first week and ranked first on the Oricon weekly chart.[18] The single also broke the debut week sales record for female artists, previously held by HKT48 with their single Suki! Suki! Skip!.[19]
Between April and May, eighteen people auditioning for Hiragana Keyakizaka46 live streamed on Showroom as part of the audition process.[20] Eleven of those passed and became official members, joining Nagahama.[21][22] The expanded subunit debuted with "Hiragana Keyaki" as part of Keyakizaka46's second single, Sekai ni wa Ai Shika Nai.[23]
Keyakizaka46's first featured drama Tokuyama Daigorō o Dare ga Koroshitaka? premiered on the TX network on July 16, 2016.[24] Sekai ni wa Ai Shika Nai was used as the theme song.[25] The group was also featured in KeyaBingo!, a variety show similar to AKBingo! and NogiBingo![26]
2016 marked the first time the group appeared on NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, an event that the group participated in every year since. Additionally, Mizuho Habu became the first member to make a runway debut, appearing in GirlsAward 2016 Spring/Summer.[27] Three more members, Hirate, Yui Kobayashi, and Risa Watanabe, would later make their debuts in GirlsAward 2016 Autumn/Winter.[28]
In January 2017, Yūka Sugai and Akane Moriya were pointed as captain and vice-captain of the group, respectively.[29] In July, Hiragana Keyakizaka46 added a second generation, with nine new members.[30] The subgroup was featured on Re:Mind, a TV thriller series aired on Netflix.[31] In August, Keyakizaka46 made their first performance at the Rock in Japan Festival, and have appeared in every year since.[32]
2018–2020: Member departures and rebranding
[edit]In November 2018, Yui Imaizumi became the first member to leave the group, intending to pursue other forms of entertainment.[33] Afterwards, Nanami Yonetani, Manaka Shida[34][35] and Nagahama also left the group.[36] Meanwhile, on November 29, 2018, Nogizaka46 and Keyakizaka46 held a joint audition, where thirty-six people passed. Out of those members, eleven went to Nogizaka46, nine went to Kanji Keyakizaka46, one went to Hiragana Keyakizaka46, and the remaining fifteen became kenshūsei (研修生; lit. trainees) that are not assigned to any group. Shortly afterwards, Hiragana Keyakizaka46 formed an independent group known as Hinatazaka46,[37] and released their debut single, "Kyun", on March 27, 2019.[38]
During this time, Keyakizaka46 still held multiple concerts, including their largest one September 18–19, 2019 at Tokyo Dome, attracting roughly 50,000 fans per day.[39] On September 24, a rhythm game titled Uni's On Air was released that featured Keyakizaka46 and Hinatazaka46.[40][41]
Keyakizaka46, for the very first time, applied the senbatsu (selection of members) system for their 9th single during Keyakitte, Kakenai? on September 8, 2019. The senbatsu included 17 members, with Hirate at the center position.[42] The single was originally set to be released at the end of the year, before first being delayed due to production issues,[43] and then further delayed with the sudden departure of Hirate in January 2020, the 9th single's planned center.[44][45]
On February 16, 2020, the kenshūsei members were assigned to their respective Sakamichi Series group through Showroom, with six of these members becoming part of Keyakizaka46's second generation.[46]
On July 16, 2020, Keyakizaka46 live streamed a concert titled Keyakizaka46 Live Online, but with YOU! The concert was the first one held since their Tokyo Dome concert in September 2019 and the first without Hirate. During the concert, the group unveiled their last single "Dare ga Sono Kane o Narasu no ka?", which was released digitally only on August 21, with every single member being featured in the song. Additionally, captain Sugai announced that Keyakizaka46 was ending its five year journey and its members were starting over under a new name, with a final concert planned in October.[47][48] On September 21, Sakurazaka46 was announced as their new name, with the change occurring after their last concert on October 12 and 13.[3][49] Sakurazaka46 is named after Sakurazaka street within Roppongi Hills in Minato, Tokyo, located next to Keyakizaka street. Sakura (cherry tree) is written in the kyūjitai form 櫻 instead of the more common 桜.
2020–present: Restarting as Sakurazaka46 and 3rd Generation
[edit]Following their farewell concert on October 14, 2020, the group officially changed its name to Sakurazaka46.[49] Their weekly variety show Keyakitte, Kakenai? was renamed to Soko Magattara, Sakurazaka?.[50] Their first single under the new name, Nobody's Fault, was released on December 9, with only 14 members performing in the title track.[51] Additionally, this single saw the creation of the "Sakura Eight", the eight members in the first two rows. Members featured on Sakura Eight appear in every B-side.[52] "Nobody's Fault" was performed in the 71st NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.[53][54]
On January 4, 2021, Rina Matsuda replaced Moriya as vice-captain of the group; Sugai remained as captain.[55] On March 14, Matsudaira Riko became the first second generation member to leave the group.[56] On April 14, the 2nd single "Ban" was released.[57] In June, the group held a three day concert called Backs Live, in which non-Sakura Eight members performed without the Sakura Eight, taking their positions.[58] In July, Sakurazaka46 held their first joint concert with Hinatazaka46 (since Hinatazaka46's rename), W-Keyaki Fes 2021 at Fuji Q Highland.[59] In October, Moriya and Rika Watanabe announced their departures from the group, and left on December 19 after their final concert on December 10.[60] On November 9, 2022, Sugai left the group after their first Tokyo Dome concert as Sakurazaka46 and Matsuda succeeded her as captain.[61]
On June 5, 2022, Sakurazaka46 announced the auditions for their third generation members, which were held from July to December 2022. 11 members passed the auditions and 9 of them were revealed during January 2023. However, due to academic commitments, the remaining two members were revealed on March 1 and 2, 2023.
Members
[edit]Since its founding, Sakurazaka46 has had a total of 70 members from five generations, including members from Hiragana Keyakizaka46 (now Hinatazaka46). 33 of those members are still in the group.[62]
If second generation members are marked with an asterisk (*), it means that they joined after the initial second generation members on February 15, 2020.[63]

History
2015–2016: Formation and early years as Keyakizaka46
Keyakizaka46 was announced on August 21, 2015, as the first sister group to Nogizaka46 within the Sakamichi Series, produced by lyricist Yasushi Akimoto.[9] Initially named Toriizaka46 during the audition phase, the group changed its name to Keyakizaka46 on the day of the first-generation member reveal, emphasizing a concept of youthful energy and determination symbolized by the keyaki tree.[10] This formation marked the expansion of Akimoto's idol production model, focusing on a parallel structure to Nogizaka46's more elegant image, with Keyakizaka46 adopting a bolder, rock-influenced style. The audition process for the first generation began in June 2015, drawing 22,509 applicants nationwide, primarily young women aged 10 to 20.[10] After multiple rounds, including document screening, interviews, and performances, 22 members were selected on August 21, 2015, during a live broadcast event, with an average age of about 16.8 years.[10] These members, including center Hirate Yurina, underwent intensive training in vocals, dance, and group dynamics, preparing for their major debut under Sony Music Records. The group's debut single, "Silent Majority," was released on April 6, 2016, featuring lyrics critiquing societal conformity and a high-energy music video that garnered widespread attention.[11] It debuted at number one on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, selling 261,580 copies in its first week and setting a record for the highest first-week sales by a debut idol group at the time.[11] This breakthrough established Keyakizaka46 as a major force in Japanese idol music, blending protest themes with synchronized choreography. In May 2016, the parallel subgroup Hiragana Keyakizaka46 was officially introduced, expanding the group to 33 members with the announcement of 11 new first-generation recruits selected from auditions held earlier that spring.[12] Unlike the main "Kanji" unit, Hiragana Keyakizaka46 focused on a cuter, more approachable image, with members like Yoshitake Shion and Sasaki Kumi beginning activities through television appearances and joint events.[12] Early live performances included the group's first public stage on December 16, 2015, at the FNS Music Festival, where they performed a cover medley alongside Nogizaka46 and AKB48.[13] Handshake events commenced in November 2015 at venues like Zepp DiverCity, allowing fans direct interaction and building early fan loyalty through personal engagements.[14] These activities laid the groundwork for larger-scale plans, including ambitions for arena-level concerts.2017–2019: Rising popularity and internal changes
In 2017, Keyakizaka46 continued to build on their debut momentum with the release of their second single, "Fukyouwaon," on April 5, which sold 632,667 copies in its first week to top the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.[15] The single's total sales exceeded 768,000 units by year's end, contributing to the group's rising profile.[15] This success earned Keyakizaka46 the New Artist of the Year and Best 5 New Artists awards at the 31st Japan Gold Disc Awards in February 2018.[16][17] The group's first studio album, Masshiro na Mono wa Yogoshitaku Naru, followed on July 19, 2017, debuting at number one on the Billboard Japan Top Albums Sales Chart with over 279,000 copies sold in its first week.[18] To promote the album, Keyakizaka46 embarked on their first nationwide tour, the Keyakizaka46 Zenkoku Tour 2017 "Masshiro na Mono wa Yogoshitaku Naru," spanning August 2 to 30 across major venues in Kobe, Fukuoka, Nagoya, Osaka, and Tokyo.[19] These releases and performances solidified the group's popularity, with their music videos and live shows drawing increased media attention and fan engagement. In 2018, Keyakizaka46 expanded through the Sakamichi Joint New Member Recruitment Audition held from June to August, resulting in the addition of 11 second-generation members announced on November 29 and December 3–5.[20] These new members began integrating into group activities in early 2019, participating in singles promotions and live events to refresh the lineup amid growing demands.[19] By 2019, the group faced internal challenges, including member injuries that affected performances; for instance, center Hirate Yurina sustained a right elbow injury in August, leading to her temporary absence from the Zenkoku Arena Tour.[21] Subgroup dynamics also shifted significantly when Hiragana Keyakizaka46 announced its independence on February 11, rebranding as Hinatazaka46 and releasing its debut single "Kyun" on March 27, allowing both units to pursue distinct concepts.[22] The release of the single "Kuroi Hitsuji" on February 27 marked another commercial peak, selling 750,382 copies in its first week and topping charts, though it came amid these transitions.[19] These changes, including the graduation of key member Nagahama Neru on July 31 following her announcement in March, hinted at broader structural discussions within the group to adapt to evolving membership and artistic directions.[23]2020: Rebranding to Sakurazaka46
On July 16, 2020, Keyakizaka46's captain Sugai Yuuka announced during a live stream concert that the group would conclude its activities after a final performance in October and undergo a complete rebranding to mark a fresh start, reflecting internal discussions on evolving the group's artistic direction following the graduation of key member Hirate Yurina earlier that year.[24] The decision aimed to refresh the group's identity after five years, shifting from its initial intense, youth-focused image to a more mature and versatile concept while retaining core members from the first and second generations.[25] The new name, Sakurazaka46, was unveiled on September 20, 2020, through a surprise advertisement aired during the group's television program Keyakitte, Kakenai? and displayed on screens at Tokyo's Shibuya Scramble Crossing, symbolizing continuity as "Sakurazaka" refers to a street adjacent to the original "Keyakizaka" in Roppongi while incorporating the traditional kanji for "sakura" (cherry blossom) to evoke themes of beauty, renewal, and ephemerality.[25][26] Activities as Keyakizaka46 officially ended with a two-day concert at Tokyo Dome on October 12–13, 2020, after which the rebranding took effect on October 14, including renaming the official Twitter account and television show to Soko Magattara, Sakurazaka?.[19] The updated logo featured a minimalist white design accented with pink, drawing on cherry blossom motifs to align with the new name and aesthetic.[25] Sakurazaka46's debut single, "Nobody's fault," was announced on October 14, 2020, and released on December 9, 2020, introducing a more sophisticated sound with rock influences and choreography emphasizing emotional depth and group synergy, centered on second-generation member Morita Hikaru.[27] The music video, premiered on November 4, 2020, showcased 14 members in a narrative of internal conflict and resolution, setting the tone for the group's repositioned maturity.[3] On December 8, 2020, the group held its first live performance as Sakurazaka46 at a streamed event, debuting tracks from the single alongside the original song "Sakurazaka no Uta," composed by producer Akimoto Yasushi to celebrate the transition and performed by all members.[28] The rebranding positively impacted the fanbase, transitioning supporters from Keyakizaka46's "Keppetaz" to Sakurazaka46's "Buddies," with the change fostering renewed engagement through online content and live streams that documented the group's evolution, ultimately sustaining and expanding its popularity in the J-pop landscape. This shift allowed for broader artistic exploration, as evidenced by the single's commercial success and the group's first appearance on NHK's Kōhaku Uta Gassen later that year.[3]2021–2023: Third generation integration and growth
Following the rebranding, Sakurazaka46 continued to build momentum with the release of their second single, "BAN," on April 14, 2021, which featured Hikaru Morita as the center and debuted at number one on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.[29] The track's intense choreography and thematic depth marked a continuation of the group's bold artistic direction, contributing to their growing domestic popularity. Later that year, on October 13, they issued their third single, "Nagaredama," which also topped the Oricon chart, reinforcing their chart dominance with sales exceeding 300,000 units in the first week.[30] In 2022, Sakurazaka46 released their debut studio album, As you know?, on August 3, which debuted at number one on the Oricon Weekly Album Chart and included tracks like "摩擦係数" with a double-center formation featuring Hikaru Morita and Ten Yamasaki.[31] The album showcased the group's evolution through a mix of high-energy pop and introspective ballads, selling over 150,000 copies in its first week and highlighting their strengthened lineup post-rebranding. To promote the album, they embarked on the "2nd TOUR 2022 'As you know?'" from September 29 to November 9, 2022, performing in major arenas across Japan, including Maruzen Intec Arena Osaka and culminating at Tokyo Dome, where they drew over 45,000 fans for the finale.[32] The tour expanded their reach with online streaming options for international audiences and incorporated fan events, fostering deeper engagement amid the group's growth phase. The integration of the third-generation members further invigorated Sakurazaka46's dynamics. Auditions for the new members were announced on June 5, 2022, and ran from July to December, ultimately selecting 11 participants who were revealed between January 6 and 14, 2023.[19] These members, including Kira Ishimori and Honoka Kawahara, debuted on February 11, 2023, with the song "Natsu no Chikamichi," bringing fresh energy to the group and emphasizing mentorship from senior members in performances and media activities. This addition refreshed the lineup, allowing for innovative formations in subsequent releases and tours, such as the "3rd TOUR 2023" from April 12 to June 1, 2023, which visited venues like Yokohama Arena and featured collaborative setlists blending generations.[33] Media exposure during this period included regular appearances on their variety show Soko Magattara, Sakurazaka?, which aired episodes focused on group bonding and single promotions, such as the 2022 New Year's Sugoroku Tournament special.[34] They also featured in TV specials like "Daisuki! Sakurazaka462024–present: Fourth generation debut and recent developments
In late 2023, Sakurazaka46 began preparing for expansion by initiating discussions on new member recruitment, culminating in the official announcement of auditions for the fourth generation on August 4, 2024.[37] The auditions, themed "Kimi ga Sakurazaka ni Iru Riyuu" (The Reason You Are at Sakurazaka), attracted applicants through a training period starting in August 2024, with the nine selected members revealed progressively from April 15 to April 24, 2025.[38][39] These new members, including Matsumoto Wako, Sato Neo, and Yamakawa Ui, began integrating into group activities shortly after their announcement, marking the first addition since the third generation in 2023 and bringing the total membership to 33 by April 2025.[40] Their debut performances included special stages during the group's ongoing tours, emphasizing fresh dynamics in choreography and fan interactions. Following the release of their seventh single "Shoninyokkyu" on October 18, 2023, which highlighted themes of approval and self-affirmation, Sakurazaka46 focused on building momentum toward their second studio album.[41] The album, titled Addiction, was announced on February 21, 2025, and released on April 30, 2025, after nearly three years since their debut album As you know? in 2022.[42] Featuring 24 tracks, including remixes and new compositions that blend J-pop with experimental elements, Addiction underscored the group's evolution, with contributions from fourth-generation members in undercard songs to foster integration.[43] Promotional efforts included teaser videos and limited-edition packaging, enhancing fan engagement through the official Sakurazaka46 app, which offers exclusive behind-the-scenes content and interactive voting for setlists. The group amplified its presence in 2025 through high-profile performances, serving as official ambassadors for AnimeJapan 2025, held March 22–23 at Tokyo Big Sight, where five members—led by representatives like Matsuda Rina—hosted stages and interacted with anime fans.[44][45] In July, 14 members performed at Anime Expo 2025 in Los Angeles, including a collaboration stage at the Peacock Theater on July 3 as part of the J-POP Sound Capsule event, blending their signature synchronized dances with international audiences and marking a milestone in global outreach.[46] The group released their 13th single, "Unhappy birthday構文," on October 29, 2025.[47] Amid these activities, fourth-generation member Sato Neo launched her personal blog on October 3, 2025, sharing insights from Saga Prefecture and training experiences, while the group navigated transitions like first-generation member Koike Minami's graduation ceremony on March 20, 2025, and second-generation member Inoue Rina's announced departure on September 23, 2025, after the 13th single.[48][49][50] These developments, supported by digital platforms like the official app for live streams and member diaries, have sustained fan loyalty, with membership standing at 32 as of November 2025.[40]Members
