After senior members such as Asuka Saito and Manatsu Akimoto graduated, Nogizaka46 held the “Nogizaka46 Midsummer National Tour 2023” for the first time this summer with only 3rd, 4th, and 5th generation members. She served as the center for their 33rd single “Ohitorisama Heaven”. With 5th generation member Kazu Inoue as its symbol, the group is being reborn once again while inheriting the traditions of the past. One of those traditions that has recently started to gain momentum is club activities.
There was once a time when Nogizaka46 had a lot of club activities that started from “Nogizaka Under Construction” (TV Tokyo). Major examples include the “Scuba Diving Club” headed by Erika Ikuta, the “Mountain Climbing Club” that was started from Rina Ikoma’s presentation, and the “Quiz Research Club” by Kazumi Takayama. With the graduation of the 2nd generation members, it had virtually disappeared. By the way, Ikuta’s Instagram post from when he went to Miyakojima in June of this year included the hashtag “#Scuba Diving Club.”
“Nogizaka Baseball Club” is made up of 5 members who love baseball.
After that, no club activities were formed for a long time, but the “Nogizaka Baseball Club” was formed in December of last year. The members are Shiori Kubo (favorite team: Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles), Akika Kuromi (favorite team: none in particular), Yuna Shibata (favorite team: Chiba Lotte Marines), Hazuki Mukai (favorite team: Saitama Seibu Lions), There are currently five members, including Saya Kanagawa (favored team: Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters), who officially joined the club in August of this year. It goes without saying that all of them love baseball, but many of them, including Kubo, who threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the “Car Next Samurai Japan Series 2023 Nagoya Samurai Japan vs. Chunichi” in March of this year, the so-called “WBC send-off game.” The members are standing on the mound of their dreams at the ceremonial pitch.

As a club activity, the main activity is watching baseball at the stadium, but “Never say never”, which was included in Nogizaka46’s 32nd single “Hito wa Yume wo Twice Mimet”, is a unit of Nogizaka Baseball Club. This song resonated at Meiji Jingu Baseball Stadium during “Nogizaka46 Midsummer National Tour 2023”. In an interview with Nogizaka46 Shimbun No. 2023, which led to his official joining, Kanagawa performed at Escon Field in Hokkaido, a memorable place where he once performed the fox dance, and sang “Never say never.” My aspiration is to show it off.
