The selected members are herself, Mako Kojima, Miki Nishino, Ryoha Kitagawa, Nagisa Shibuya, Meru Tashima and Mio Tomonaga. These members are said to be the strongest trainee members.

Together with members Ryoka Oshima and Rina Kawaei, they formed Team Kanagawa to promote the new trains in the Yokohama Line. Later in May, she was selected to sing the group's 36th single title track Labrador Retriever (song).
In the group's sixth general election to determine the lineup for their 37th single, Okada ranked for the first time, with a position of 51st place, becoming part of Future Girls.
In September, Okada was part of the cast for AKB48's musical, AKB49: Ren'ai Kinshi Jōrei stage adaptation. She played Mizuno Haruko. In the group's fifth Janken Tournament, she placed 14th, and was in the B-Side of the winner Miyuki Watanabe's solo song.
