A tweet posted on X (formerly Twitter) claiming that “Juice=Juice fans all compliment each other’s oshi (favorite members), making the fandom peaceful” became a hot topic on 5ch’s Hello! Project board. In the thread, some agreed, saying “makes sense given the mutual-support culture,” while others pushed back with “they’re at each other’s throats over bus tours” and “there was infighting in the past too,” sparking a debate over whether the fandom is really so peaceful.

With everyone singing this well, you’d expect fights over “my oshi is the best,” but Juice has this vibe of “my oshi is amazing, but yours is amazing too” — I love it, it’s almost too peaceful 🍹

Watching people lose it over bus tours, I really can't call this peaceful.
Not sure if this is an EBiDAN thing or an =LOVE ('Iqoulove') thing.
They can afford to be chill because they're already certain their oshi is the best.
Guess you're a newbie who doesn't know about Hello! Project's "secret account" (urawiki) culture.

Most of the complaint accounts these days are ANGERME fans anyway
leftovers from the "Rikamiko" era.

Wait, seriously? There are groups where fans of the same group fight each other??

Thinking everyone's that good based on just that is peace-addled naivety.

They're all good, but you can quickly tell who's better.

They're not even that good lol

Dambara's fans can afford to praise the younger members precisely because their oshi's position is untouchable.
I've been a Hello! Project fan for over 10 years, so I can tell this guy knows exactly what he's saying.
He's just jumping on the winning horse to take a dig.
He used to be a Kamei/Kamikokuryo/Ikuta fan anyway.

Ah, that explains it.
Ah, that explains it.
This peace only exists after the old blood-soaked "Nacchi vs. Goma" fan wars.
Everyone learned that trashing each other within the same group has zero upside.
I really wish ANGERME fans would learn that same lesson — "trashing each other within Hello! Project has zero upside."

There's always someone like you no matter where you go,
so there's no such thing as "peaceful" lol

Irie's getting showered with praise in the comments on the "Kurakura" recording video though.
Kind of like how Shimoitani gets showered with praise in the comments on ANGERME's dance-practice (danpura) videos?
Someone clue them in about "koko" (a nod to the tweeter's handle, Kokonoka).

No doubt they already know.

Come to think of it, there's never been infighting among Juice=Juice fans, even back in the original-lineup era.
Unlike other groups, every member of Juice was pointed in the same direction.
Maybe it's because they were a rare group where every single member was serious and hardworking.

Why are you acting like Takagi never existed?
Miyamoto was looking in a different direction too, which is why she went solo early.

Takagi got criticized for having a bad attitude at handshake events, sure,
but I don't remember fans fighting each other over it.
Her singing was highly rated by fans, and she was respected as an indispensable member of Juice.

That's what this was about — what are you even talking about?

No group has a mutual-support network (gojokai) as functional as Juice's.
Even back in the original-lineup days, it was standard for fans to attend every single member's birthday event.

But diva Takagi's show at Landmark Hall wasn't even full.
If every Juice fan really went to everyone's events, you'd think at least Landmark would fill up, right?
Don't rewrite history.

That's because the "server-battle" oshi-activity fans have been flowing into Juice.
They're the crowd that used to constantly fight with other members' fans, so of course it feels peaceful now.

Apparently there's a fandom that's been fighting internally ever since the group formed
the so-called "hell fandom," lol

People who use Juice's name to trash other fandoms and other groups like this obviously aren't peaceful.
Are you doing this on purpose?

Nobody said everyone went, though.
Why are you so worked up about this?
I don't remember if Landmark was completely full, but it had a decent crowd.
But you wouldn't know that, since you never actually saw the events in person.

So my point is, don't cherry-pick the one little part you happen to know and write it like it applies to every Juice fan.
Morning Musume fans and ANGERME fans go to birthday events for members other than their own oshi too.

Hard to take that from someone who's never seen the events in person.
It's a fact that the mutual-support network functions better in Juice than in other groups.
Morning Musume. plays surprisingly small venues for how popular they are, and ANGERME is beyond hopeless at this point.
