History
editThe first group, Nogizaka46, was formed on August 22, 2011 with 36 members and released their debut single "Guruguru Curtain"on February 22, 2012.
The second group, and Nogizaka46's first sister group,Keyakizaka46,was created on August 21, 2015 with 22 members. It was initially named Toriizaka46 before it was changed for unspecified reasons.[1][2]They released their first single "Silent Majority"on April 6, 2016. A subgroup named Hiragana Keyakizaka46 was created shortly after with 12 members.
On February 21, 2018,Yoshimotozaka46was announced as the third group in the franchise[3]and 46 members passed the final audition on August 20.[4]Unlike the other groups, it has both male and female members of various ages and most members are comedians affiliated with theOsaka-based talent agencyYoshimoto Kogyo,which also manages the idol groupNMB48and theProduce 101 JapangroupJO1.They released their first single, "Nakasete Kure yo",on December 26, 2018.
On February 11, 2019, Hiragana Keyakizaka46 became independent and changed its name toHinatazaka46,thus becoming the fourth group in the franchise.[5]They released their debut single, "Kyun",on March 27, 2019. On July 16, 2020, it was announced that Keyakizaka46 would also be rebranded into Sakurazaka46,[6][7][8][9]which came into effect on October 14.
In the summer of 2018, a joint Sakamichi Audition was held for the all-female groups and 36 of those who auditioned were accepted. Of the 36, 21 were immediately accepted into either Nogizaka46 (11), Keyakizaka46 (9), and Hiragana Keyakizaka46 (1), while the remaining fifteen were grouped as the trainee group Sakamichi Kenshūsei(Bản nói nghiên tu sinh)in 2019.[10]One trainee dropped out and the fourteen remaining ones were assigned to the three groups on February 16, 2020, with five going to Nogizaka46, six going to Sakurazaka46, and three going to Hinatazaka46.
In 2021, members of Nogizaka46, Sakurazaka46, and Hinatazaka46 co-starred in a television series for the first time in the mystery dramaBorderless(ボーダレス),based on the novel of the same title byTetsuya Honda.[11]Cinemas Pluspositively commented on its production values and the members' performances, and highly recommended the drama even for non-fans of the Sakamichi Series.[12]The three groups would collaborate again in its 2023 sequel,Actress.[13]
