Nishikawa Nanami was an 8th generation AKB48 Kenkyuusei member before she was fired from the group on 25th July 2009 for her 'lack of self awareness'. There was no further explanation but allegedly she took a purikura with a fan. Here is the official post stating her dismissal

This is not the first time a member that has been dismissed from the group has successfully re-auditioned. AKB48 Shinoda Team A's Kikuchi Ayaka was originally a 3rd generation member in Team B back in 2008 when she was fired after purikura pictures with her boyfriend were leaked into the internet. She re-auditioned in December the same year, and debuted as a 7th generation Kenkyuusei.
