Start date for 3rd generation members changed

Until now, the start of activities for 3rd generation members was the 17th single “Influencer” (“Sanbanme no kaze” included as coupling song), but this has been changed to the 18th single “Nigemizu” (first senbatsu for Ozono Momoko and Yoda Yuki).

The main reason for the change is that the start for 2nd gen members is the 7th single “Barrette”, in which Hori Miona was senbatsu for the first time, and the start for 4th gen members is the 24th single “Yoakemade tsuyogaranakutemoii”, which saw Endo Sakura chosen as senbatsu for the first time. So it would make sense for the same logic to apply to the 3rd generation.

This change results in higher senbatsu averages for 3rd gen members and affects the senbatsu average ranking. For example, Yoda Yuki’s senbatsu average has changed from 11/13 = .846 to 11/12 = .917.

3期生の活動開始日を変更

いままでは3期生の活動開始を17枚目シングル「インフルエンサー」としていましたが（「三番の風」収録）、それを18枚目シングル「逃げ水」（大園桃子と与田祐希の初選抜）に変更しました。

主な理由は、2期生の活動開始は堀未央奈が初選抜の7枚目シングル「バレッタ」であり、そして4期生の活動開始は遠藤さくらが初選抜の24枚目シングル「夜明けまで強がらなくてもいい」なので、【お披露目センター】の初選抜がその期の最速と考えるのが妥当だからです。

これによって3期生の選抜率が上昇し、選抜率ランキングも影響を受けます。例えば、与田祐希の選抜率は11/13 = .846 から11/12 = .917 に変わります。
