Odyssey, the company that runs Hello! Project’s concerts, announced it would open the parking lot ahead of the scheduled time after a string of complaints that Tsubaki Factory fans were illegally parking at nearby facilities. On 5ch, opinions clashed: some questioned the organizers (“If the instructions were unclear, they should’ve just opened it from the morning”), while others fired back at the fans (“Don’t get defensive when you’re the one who showed up early and parked illegally”). The thread eventually spiraled into comparisons of fan etiquette across other Hello! Project groups.
It's precisely because Tsubaki takes on all this trouble that the other groups stay peaceful

That's exactly the reason they can't disband Tsubaki

Tsubaki's and Rosy Chronicle's fans have zero manners, honestly

Re: #23
You mean Tsubaki and OCHA NORMA ("Ocha")
Rosy Chronicle barely even has fans to begin with

Re: #23
A lot of them are fans of both groups anyway

For them to get called out publicly like this, it must've been pretty bad
Sounds like they weren't handling it this way until last year

I heard Tsubaki fans had great manners…

It's not even a real parking lot, just a school yard
They can't exactly open that up first thing in the morning

@ The smoking area 🚬 is set up somewhere it absolutely shouldn't be (right next to the merch line) — Odyssey is seriously done as an event organizer.
The guy getting defensive is mad about other stuff too

Re: #47
Is that really the reverse case though?

Re: #47
Instead of posting on X that they're "done as an organizer," couldn't they just say "could you move the smoking area away from the merch stand"?

Ignoring the rules just because the instructions were unclear — are Tsubaki fans all middle schoolers or something?
50AnonymousAug 27, 2026 12:27
Is there even a point in showing up that early in the morning?

A low-key, unpopular group with a mysteriously badly-behaved fanbase
54AnonymousAug 27, 2026 12:29
They probably just want to be close or grab a good spot

Re: #53
I think it's that the guy who got defensive is also mad about other things — the post itself isn't necessarily the "getting defensive" one

For a one-day weekday event out in Yamanashi,
Tsubaki's cranking out merch like it's a Budokan show
