Juice=Juice’s 2026 Fan Club Event Sparks Debate Over Cramped Venue

From our other sites

The story

It’s been announced that Juice=Juice’s 2026 fan club event, “Meri Kuri × Juice × Box,” will be held at the Ichikawa City Culture Hall Main Hall (capacity 1,758). On the thread, the venue’s size quickly became the central topic, with comments like “They can secure a venue this big for the Christmas event, yet the capacity is way too small” and “Wouldn’t a bigger venue have made more sense?” coming one after another. Some pointed out the timing relative to the early merchandise sales period, and there was also back-and-forth comparing the schedule with other groups’ events.

The capacity of the Ichikawa City Culture Hall Main Hall is 1,758 seats.

Oh, the one near Motoyawata? Been a while since they used that place.
6AnonymousAug 27, 2026 18:03
It's decently big, but still small.
7AnonymousAug 27, 2026 18:03
Isn't that where Tsubaki Factory did their live band set?
12AnonymousAug 27, 2026 18:04
It's baffling — they can secure this size of venue for the Christmas event, but Juice=Juice's date gets stuck with that capacity.
14AnonymousAug 27, 2026 18:05
Even with this venue, people are still going to lose the lottery for both sessions.
Couldn't they have gotten Hachioji, Pacifico Yokohama, or Omiya or something?
16AnonymousAug 27, 2026 18:06
For a Chiba venue, it's surprisingly friendly to fans traveling in from out of town.
17AnonymousAug 27, 2026 18:06
Turns out there are a lot of halls in the Kanto area.

Why is Rosy Chronicle going with a bigger capacity?

Re: #20
Same as Kudo, huh?
22AnonymousAug 27, 2026 18:08
Isn't the venue just too small?
With their current momentum, couldn't they have pulled off Budokan for the Christmas event?
Thanks to all the new fans riding the recent hype wave, it's going to be another lottery-reject festival.
23AnonymousAug 27, 2026 18:09
I wish they'd do it somewhere with a capacity of around 5,000.
24AnonymousAug 27, 2026 18:09
A live band for Christmas? That's fancy.
123AnonymousAug 27, 2026 18:59
Re: #24
At this price, it's probably not a live band.
25AnonymousAug 27, 2026 18:10
This is the least expensive event they run at the group level — what are you even complaining about?
26AnonymousAug 27, 2026 18:11
Isn't it "Moala"?
That'll open the door to all kinds of cheating.
27AnonymousAug 27, 2026 18:11
If the Christmas event is on the 9th, then I guess the Pia Arena show really is the true finale of the fall tour.
30AnonymousAug 27, 2026 18:15
They really need to do this in Kansai too — this isn't enough.
37AnonymousAug 27, 2026 18:17
It's all Christmas event announcements — still no word on the birthday events at all.
41AnonymousAug 27, 2026 18:18
Re: #37
Wonder when and where Risachi's will be…
43AnonymousAug 27, 2026 18:18
Re: #37
Because merchandise pre-sales start with the Christmas event.
53AnonymousAug 27, 2026 18:23
Re: #37
Still don't get it, huh?
40AnonymousAug 27, 2026 18:18
I wonder why every group's schedule is so early this year.
Though Morning Musume will probably be the only one that waits until after Oda's graduation.
52AnonymousAug 27, 2026 18:23
Re: #40
Apparently it's related to the merchandise.
46AnonymousAug 27, 2026 18:19
Forget the Christmas event, announce Risachi's birthday event already.
Marin-chan, whose birthday is the same day, has already finished her first round of applications.
51AnonymousAug 27, 2026 18:22
Juice=Juice's fall schedule is way too packed — there's no room to even think about a birthday event.
63AnonymousAug 27, 2026 18:28
Re: #53
By that logic, no group is announcing birthday events until every group has announced their Christmas events?
67AnonymousAug 27, 2026 18:29
Was there ever a Christmas event announcement this early, back in August?
90AnonymousAug 27, 2026 18:43
Re: #67
There hasn't been, but apparently this year's Christmas events include merchandise pre-sales, so it's timed around that.
140AnonymousAug 27, 2026 19:08
I'm a fan of another group, but honestly it's kind of sad watching them worry about tickets every single time.
149AnonymousAug 27, 2026 19:11
Re: #140
Hopefully things calm down once next year rolls around.
145AnonymousAug 27, 2026 19:10
It's cheap and the lineup looks good, so pretty much every FC member is bound to apply.
169AnonymousAug 27, 2026 19:27
This timid venue choice — does that mean no Kohaku this year? (NHK's New Year's Eve music special)
175AnonymousAug 27, 2026 19:28
Re: #169
It's an FC event, so that has nothing to do with it.
326AnonymousAug 27, 2026 21:26
There are multiple members who can pull in 1,200 people solo for a birthday event,
and the whole group combined only gets 1,700? Are they joking?
330AnonymousAug 27, 2026 21:28
Re: #326
Nah, the live band show is the real joke here.
