NMB48 Logo
Introduction[]
NMB48 has had170 original members over their 10 generations (not including Draft, Kennin, transferred members andUemura Azusa) and a total of 202 members (Plus Draft, Kennin, transferred members andUemura Azusa). As of March 2025, NMB48 currently has 40 members and 14Kenkyuusei.
Like inAKB48, regular auditions to recruit new members are held, and the future successful candidates, theKenkyuusei Members (Research Students), take part of a in-training team of members that work as sub and under for the official members in various activities (mostly the Theater Performances). And then, when any of the official members graduate, a girl is promoted to fill the space.
Currently, three generations have no members (1st, 2nd and 3rd). Besides the regular auditions, NMB48 also participates on theAKB48 Group Draft Kaigi to recruit new members. The group also had a special audition (Post-Yamada Nana Auditions).
