About the Formation: For “BAN,” the “Sakura Eight” system is still being implemented. These eight members stand in the first two rows of the songs, with their positions remaining static (aside from the center position, where the three centers rotate). Meanwhile, the third row members change according to the member centering the song.
Sakura Eight is a system that is similar to Nogizaka46’s Fukujin, essentially the “media selection” members who will be primarily appearing in promotions for the single (such as magazines, radio, TV shows).
