This comes at the back of lot of recent graduations especially over the last year with several 1st and 2nd gen members calling it a day.
This leaves Nogizaka46 with 4 Gen 1 members with Hoshino Minani graduating. 2nd Gen only has 3 members, with Shinuchi Mai graduating recently. 3rd Gen is fairly intact with 11 members, after Nogizaka46 eternal crybaby Ozono Momoko graduating from the group in 2021. All 16 Gen 4 members are still active.
The Auditions for Gen 5 were held between July to September 2021. Only first 8 of 11 members formed as the part of the group from February 2nd, 2022. The remaining 3 have some academic commitments, will formally join in March 2022 as per sources. The "5th Gen Omitatekai" is due to be held at Makuhari Messe Event Hall (a ticketed event), and broadcast during Nogizaka46 Hours TV on 23rd February 2022. The promo video suggests about 87,852 applications were received, the the biggest in J-Pop history some suggest.
