pure acting have positioned her as a potential new heroine in the musical world. Joining Nogizaka46
as a fifth-generation member in February 2022, Okuda, known for her transparent singing voice,
had been training her voice further to pursue her dream of musical theater. After auditioning,
she successfully landed the role of Juliet. Despite having almost no acting experience
prior to joining Nogizaka46, Okuda started from scratch and received strict guidance
from the director, Shuichiro Koike, for her debut stage performance. However,
as rehearsals progressed, she received more praise and gained confidence.
Juliet in the play is portrayed as a 16-year-old who unknowingly falls in love with Romeo and

elegant members of Nogizaka46. The audience, consisting of many women of varying age groups,

had previously played Juliet in the same musical in 2017 and 2019, establishing herself as a
recognizable figure in the musical world with roles in productions like Les Misérables and Mozart.
Okuda's performance in Romeo and Juliet is sure to be a valuable experience as she carves her
path in the musical industry. Theater professionals have high hopes for her potential to become a new
musical star, given her impressive singing and acting skills that captivate audiences.
Born on August 20, Okuda shares her birthday with two graduated Nogizaka46 legends, Mishira Ishii,
31, and Minatsu Akimoto, 30, who continue to shine in their careers post-graduation.

Standing at a height of 166cm and with Taipei blood,
Haruka Akaki has charmed fans with her unique aura and dedication since her debut in the entertainment industry.
Her journey began in 2018, when she felt a strong desire for a change in her everyday life.
This led her to audition for the Sakumichi Join audition on August 19 of the same year,
a decision that marked the start of an exciting chapter as she successfully joined Nogizaka46 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 Yogurnakudami.
Then, in 2020, she captivated the audience by taking the center position in the fourth-generation song I See,
from Nogizaka46's 25th single Shiawase no Hagasyoku.
Following that, in April 2021, she became a Thursday regular on the Artist Locks
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 Nogizaka46.
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.

setting a new record for the publisher.

proving her consistent growth and popularity among fans.
Aside from her idol activities,
Haruka Akaki has also showcased her acting skills in television dramas like
Yanma Dozora's Mystery Tales and first as Rock Paper Scissors,
participated in variety shows, and even performed the first pitch at a baseball game
between the Tokyo Yakult Swallows and the Hiroshima Toyo Carp in 2023.
Furthermore, her talents extend to drawing, a hobby she passionately pursues,
occasionally sharing her illustrations on her blog and various media platforms.
