Senbatsu

**Senbatsu** (Kanji: 選抜, Mandarin: 選拔組) is a term used by AKB48, STU48, BNK48, MNL48, AKB48 Team SH, AKB48 Team TP, SGO48, Nogizaka46, Keyakizaka46, Hinatazaka46 to refer to the members selected to be featured in the A-side of a single. The term can be extended to refer to members selected for performances, events, and concerts as well.

## Information

The term **Senbatsu** did not become commonly used until Iiwake Maybe, but the process of choosing specific members to perform the A-side of single releases has been in practice since Skirt, Hirari. The largest Senbatsu so far is from Manatsu no Sounds good! and Labrador Retriever, with 36 members.

Senbatsu is almost always chosen by the management. In fact, when management chooses the Senbatsu members, it is often called a "Regular Senbatsu". However, for the singles Chance no Junban, Ue Kara Bomi, Eien Pressure and Kimi no Hohoemi wo Yume ni Miru, Senbatsu was chosen through the **Janken Tournament**.

Senbatsu usually has 16 members, but recently it became common that the Senbatsu is expanded to include more members.

* MNL48 and AKB48 Team SH are the only groups that have always had the same number of senbatsu members (16).
* AKB48 Team TP always has the same number of senbatsu of 12 members.
