Hello! Project group Juice=Juice’s “Kudo Yume Birthday Event 2026” has sold out both the matinee and evening performances at Setagaya Egret Hall, and the fan club has announced there will be no second-round ticket applications. On 5ch’s Hello! Project thread, posters expressed surprise one after another — “Tako-chan’s (Kudo Yume’s nickname) popularity suddenly shot up” and “the venue’s popularity is even higher than when Ishiyama sold out Yurakucho Asahi Hall” — especially notable since the matinee show had noticeably empty seats last time. There are also anxious voices about the introduction of face-recognition e-tickets, with worries that upcoming Budokan and Pia Arena shows may see a rush of ticket-lottery losses too.
Yeah, that's probably it.
Hey, still waiting on that apology?
> Note: Entry to this performance will be via e-ticket using facial recognition.
A lottery-loss festival would be rough. There are weekday events and tour dates too — I wonder if fans even have any paid leave left.
Tickets went unsold last time, so I doubt they'll bump the capacity up much. A lottery-loss festival is guaranteed.
That's a bit much. They're just bandwagon fans.

Ah I see, so it's the same as before.
So it does have facial recognition after all.
