46 in November and got unveiled as a fourth-generation member in December during a showcase at Nippon
Budokan.
Haruka Akaki's career took a significant leap forward in 2019 when she got selected
for the first time to be in the forefront row of the 24th single Yoakumetsu Yogurnakutame.
Then, in 2020, she captivated the audience by taking the center position in the fourth-generation
song I See. From Nobizaka 46's 25th single Shiawase no Hagasyoku, she became the center
of the 25th single Shiawase no Hagasyoku. Following that, in April 2021, she became
a Thursday regular on the artist Lock's segment within the radio program School of Lock.
This same year, she honored the group by being the center for the title track of their 28th
single, Kimi ni Shikarereta, making her the 13th member to achieve this role within Nobizaka
46.
2022 saw the release of Haruka Akaki's first solo photobook Misara on June 7, marking a
memorable milestone as the first photobook from a fourth-generation member. When it was
released, it achieved a remarkable initial print run of 160,000 copies, setting a new
record for the publisher. Later that year, she returned as the center for the single
Suki de Iwa Rock Days, proving her consistent growth and popularity among fans.
Aside from her idol activities, Haruka Akaki has also showcased her acting skills in television

in variety shows, and even performed the first pitch at a baseball game between the Tokyo
Swallows and the Hiroshima Toyo Carp in 2023. Furthermore, her talents extend to drawing,

would have pursued a career in art. Widely admired by fans for her diverse talents, kindness,
and dedication, Haruka Akaki continues to inspire with her performances in Nogizaka 46.
