* ThatCameOutWrong: When Rina Matsuda and several other members appeared in the ''Nep League'' quiz show, the letter she provided (な ''na'') in a group spelling game turned out to form the sentence "gets anal with a stick" (ぼうにあなる).[[labelnote:*]]The expected answer might be "gets hit by a stick" (ぼうにあたる).[[/labelnote]] It became a Twitter worldwide trending topic that evening.

* AmericansAreCowboys: Mizuho Habu produced her own {{Eagleland}}-themed sketch series called ''Habu's Nice Day'', where she plays a half-American cowgirl (who barely speaks English) who helps other members with their problems. Because the English word "have" is written as ''habu'' (ハブ) in katakana, the show is pretty much an excuse to use {{pun}}s like "What problem do you Habu?" and "Yes, I Habu a solution!" These puns are first introduced in ''Keyakake'' episode 20, when Habu's real-life father proposed them for her to use as catchphrase.

On July 2020, [=Keyakizaka46=] announced that they would hold their last live show in October 2020 and undergo a hiatus and [[MeaningfulRename rebranding]] after that.

* StarvingArtist: In an early ''Keyakake'' episode, Rina Ozeki points out that their pay per episode is only around $100 after tax, ''divided between all the members present'' (of course, they also receive a base salary and income from other appearances, but it's no secret that most idols don't become rich).

** [=Keyakizaka46=] itself also stated that they'd become this after rebranding into [=Sakurazaka46=] in late 2020. One of the reasons given for the rebranding is that many of the members who represented the DarkerAndEdgier concept have left the group, although none of the remaining ones seem happy about the change; in fact, members such as Riko Matsudaira has mentioned that she decided to graduate because her mind and body "cannot keep up" with the group's changes.

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Ten Yamasaki (born in 2005) is the youngest member and the second youngest, Marino Kousaka, is three years older than her. For some time, she was the only member who was still in middle school, and her graduation is celebrated in [=SokoSaku=].
** Yurina Hirate is the youngest founding member and was also the only one in middle school when they started, but was treated more like the "''wunderkind''" than "baby".
