Following the farewell of Ota Yuuri and Queentet semi-hiatus (the unit is somehow stil alive, isn't it? ) management decided to make a new unit so on December 15th there was a special live with Yamamoto Ayaka, Umeyama Cocona and Jonishi Rei in order to make the official announcement. https://twitter.com/nmb48_official/status/1206202464505958402?s=20 But you know, that sounds great and everything but what does "lapis arch" means? That's such an extravagant name! LAPIS is coming from Lapis lazuli, a birthstone of December. LAPIS ARCH is born in December, so they named from it. the ARCH in LAPIS ARCH comes from Aayan, Reichan and Cocona's initials combined with H (taken from "hope") and is also supposed to mean "a bridge that will connect people to NMB". Somehow makes sense, right? Lapis arch is formed by some of the most popular young members right now in nmb so even though is hard to have similar popularity than Queentet (some nice senpais...and akarin there as well) there still hope for them! Ganbatte!
