History Music / NMB48

** Akari Ishizuka once went on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMO4NH8HAHQ a tearful rant]] on her Showroom live stream that she couldn't afford even small luxuries like going to Starbucks or buying matcha (green tea powder) cookies. Her fans responded by sending her boxes of matcha cookies. After she graduated from the group, she became a [=YouTube=] game streamer, and also produces the clothing brand Green Tea Cookie Fun Club.

The second sister group of Music/AKB48, and like this one, it has more than 48 members currently split into 3 teams : N, M and BII, as well as a group of trainees.

The group currently performs in its theatre at the Yes-Namba Building in Namba in Osaka, Japan, with each team performing stages-set lists of songs.

* KansaiRegionalAccent: Most of them are from Kansai region and usually speak the accent, and even those that aren't (such as Yuki Kashiwagi during her concurrency) had to learn the accent to fit in.

* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: 7th generation youngest member Misaki Yoshino is fluent in English (she lived in the US).
** She has a routine with Miyu Wada, the oldest 7th gen, where she corrects the latter's {{Engrish}} in the middle of their duet.
** When she portrayed a yankee character in 2021, she makes fun of her seniors' lack of English proficiency... [[TeasingFromBehindTheLanguageBarrier in English]].
---> Misaki: [English] Most people in the ''other'' generations are not very smart, so nobody can speak English, so I'm gonna speak up. The future of NMB will be carried by ''us'', the 7th generation, so people who are not very smart, please get out of here!\\
Karin Kojima: No! No! [Japanese] Misaki-chan, you shouldn't say such things!\\
Another member: Hang on! Kojima, you understood what she said?\\
Karin: Not one word.
* SurprisinglyGoodForeignLanguage: Lee Siyeon is only the second Korean (and third foreigner) to join a Japanese 48 group, so hearing her native language in the group counts.

[[caption-width-right:264:The logo of the group, because like [=AKB48=], getting a picture [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters will be quite hard.]]]]

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: At last count, it had more than 70 members including the kenkyuusei.

* {{Megane}}: The school segments in "Kitagawa Kenji".

** One time, she made fun of her seniors' lack of English proficiency... [[TeasingFromBehindTheLanguageBarrier in English]].

* RefugeInAudacity: During the 2017 elections, Ririka Sutou took the opportunity to ''announce her upcoming marriage'', and even said that it hadn't been decided whether she would leave the group. Even better, the management and Yasushi Akimoto, the AKB Group Producer himself, ''actually offered her to stay in the group'' as a married woman, but she declined.

* OverlyLongName: "Nagiichi" is short for "Nagisa de ichiban kawaii-ko" ("The cutest girl in the beach"). "Kamonegikkusu" is also a portmanteau for "the duck shoulders its onion", a Japanese saying.

** In their 10th anniversary concert, after Nagisa Shibuya gives a heartfelt speech thanking the audience for their continuing support, she "returns the favor" by calling the well-endowed members to stand at the front (and sending comparatively flat group captain Karin Kojima to the back) for their final bow.

* MsFanservice: They have the sexiest image among the 48 Groups and appear most often in various bikini and lingerie photoshoots. In particular, Sumire Yokono is called the 48 Groups' "best body".

Please list any tropes related with the girls directly in the character page, because it NeedsWikiMagicLove.

* HairDecorations
