** [=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, former 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.

She successfully defends her title after their name change, being the top in both the written test and quiz.

'''[=Sakurazaka46=]''' (櫻坂46) is Music/Nogizaka46's first sister group, established in 2015 as '''[=Keyakizaka46=]''' (欅坂46). The members were grouped into two teams, Kanji Keyaki and Hiragana Keyaki, until the latter was renamed Music/Hinatazaka46 in February 2019, leaving Kanji as the sole team. The group's captain is Yuuka Sugai, assisted by vice captain Rina Matsuda, the only member with that title in the Sakamichi Series.

* DislikesTheNewGuy: Many members look uncomfortable when Neru Nagahama is introduced as the group's extra member in ''Keyakake'', since she had earlier withdrawn from the audition.

** Their catchphrase also includes the English phrase "Just trust yourself!", unsurprisingly pronounced in {{Engrish}}.

** In ''Keyakake'' episode 142, everybody's shocked when Sugai-sama mentions she has a Winback Indiba electrotherapy machine, which was imported from France and costs a few million yen, at home. It's part of her mother's beauty spa, which Rika Ozeki reveals in episode 245 to be unrivaled in both price and services.

* InterclassFriendship: The group includes known rich kids Yuuka Sugai and Yumiko Seki, and a RunningGag is them casually revealing stories about their lives which astonish everybody else.

*** In ''Keyakake'' episode 240, Yui Takemoto suggests that the new 2nd gens mention to Yumiko if there's something they want, because they might get lucky.
