Nogizaka46 sixth-generation member Mirine Masuda has resumed her activities after being on hiatus since April due to health reasons.

Masuda made a surprise appearance during the opening night of Nogizaka46's four-day run at Meiji Jingu Stadium in Tokyo on August 20, whi is a part of the group's Nogizaka46 Midsummer National Tour 2026. She appeared on stage following a video looking back at the sixth-generation members' journey and was greeted with loud cheers from the crowd.

With Masuda's return, all 11 sixth-generation members appeared on stage together for the first time in approximately one year and three months. Fellow sixth-generation member Reina Ozu, who had previously taken a break to focus on her studies, resumed her activities in April.
