This time, members who were always in the "Juu Fukujin", such as Sakurai and Ikoma, have been moved to the back row. On this, Ikoma made comments such as, "I am looking forward to seeing a different scenery," and "I hope it will make people think that moving [positions] is the interesting thing about Nogizaka46."
