History
2015
On February 22, 2015, during the Nogizaka46 3rd Year Birthday Live at Seibu Dome, Nogizaka46 announced plans to recruit the first generation members for their new project.[3] It was revealed that the new group's name was Toriizaka46 (鳥居坂46) and the recruitment was started on July 28.[4] The final examination of the audition took place on August 21, the same day as Nogizaka46 was created, and 22 passed out of 22,509 candidates. At the same time, it was announced that the group's name was suddenly changed to Keyakizaka46; however, its reason is unclear.[5]
Since October 4, the group has its own Sunday television show titled Keyakitte, Kakenai? (欅って、書けない?) on TV Tokyo.[6] In this show, Keyakizaka46 announced a new member Neru Nagahama (長濱ねる) on November 29.[7] She debuted as a member of their under group Hiragana Keyaki (けやき坂46(ひらがなけやき)) and it's audition was started.[8]
On December 16, the group gave its first performance. It took place at the Fuji TV music show FNS Music Festival. The center position in the choreography was held by youngest member Yurina Hirate (平手友梨奈), 14 at the time.[9]
2016
In February 2016 it was revealed that Keyakizaka46 would release their first single on April 6, 2016.[10] Its title was later revealed to be "Silent Majority".[11] It was also revealed that the title song would be used in a TV commercial for a mobile application named Mechakari.[12] Unlike Nogizaka46, all members except Neru Nagahama were selected to sing the title song.[13] It sold 261,580 copies in the first week and ranked first on the Oricon weekly chart.[14] They also achieved a female artist's number one sales record in the first week updating the Suki!
