Yagura Fuuko will be the new center of Team M and she took over Jo Eriko's position in the currently ongoing stage show. Azuma Yuki took over Fujita Runa's position, Koyanagi Arisa is in Ota Riona's spot and Yamamoto Hitomi now does Yagura Fuuko's former position. Shimada Rena remains captain.

I am happy about this new line-up. When they announced there was going to be a "New Team M", I was a bit afraid they'd shuffle NMB around. I am glad they didn't. And Koyanagi Arisa, the last remaining 1st Generation KKS, was finally promoted. Congratulations!
