a decision that marked the start of an exciting chapter as she successfully joined Nogizaka 46 in
November and got unveiled as a fourth-generation member in December during a showcase at Nippon
Budokan. Haruka Kaki'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 Yogurnakutami. Then, in 2020,
she captivated the audience by taking the center position in the fourth-generation song I See
from Nogizaka 46's 25th single Shiawase no Hagasyoku. Following that, in April 2021,
