The story
On 5ch’s Hello! Project board, a breaking-news thread went up after Juice=Juice scored its 4th No. 1 on the music show “CDTV Live! Live!”. While cheers went up, someone posted that the show’s real-time ratings came in at 4.4%, dead last among all networks in that timeslot, and the thread instantly turned into a ratings debate. Posters even dragged up other music shows’ low ratings from this year, splitting over whether Juice=Juice’s appearance actually propped the numbers up or dragged them down.
What people said
A crushing 4% flop
Dead last among every network
Inoue Haruka is channeling something (possessed-level performance)

When AKB opened the show it dragged ratings down to 3.2%, so this is actually a solid showing
They must've prepped like crazy for this…
meanwhile my oshi can't even get booked on that show
Oof…
TV networks are brutal about this kind of thing…
They weren't the opener
I get that it stings, but let's just admit the ratings did a V-shaped comeback during Juice=Juice's segment lol

Lol, the ratings are creeping up bit by bit
Don't forget to throw in the Kohaku ratings too while you're at it lol
That's not even a regular episode of Music Station, redo the numbers
Exactly
Some idiot agency is probably dumping its entire "agency slot" allocation onto Juice=Juice
The networks must be furious over these repeated low ratings
Forget Juice=Juice, this could cost the whole agency its slot
[Good News] Turns out CDTV and Music Station really do have "agency slots" after all!
"Agency slots" lol
where's that even a real thing lol
Guess you need actual results to show for it
I like Angerme too, and this guy dragging Angerme's name through the mud is a genuine nuisance
That's just some trashy Juice=Juice fan replying to himself
Either they've used it too many times already, or maybe they held back out of consideration for the recent fire news
I hate that — going viral like this isn't all good news, you know?
Next spring's tour is at live houses, so it'll be even harder to score tickets
Exactly
Juice=Juice is done for lol
Bet they get booked again next month, maybe on "Kura Kura" next time
She was adorable today too
She was adorable today too
Background and Key Points of This Discussion
“CDTV Live! Live!” is a music special aired on TBS, and according to an image posted in the thread, this episode’s timeslot ratings came in at 4.4%. Commenters also listed ratings for other music shows broadcast this year, including Music Station, STAR, Venue101, and Buzz Rhythm, with uniformly low numbers across the board. That said, these figures come from images posted within the thread, so they may differ in wording from official figures released by networks or ratings agencies — worth keeping in mind. The debate centered on whether Juice=Juice’s appearance pushed the ratings up or dragged them down, with posters split between those claiming the group opened the show and those disputing it. Talk of an “agency slot” system determining show bookings was pure 5ch speculation with no supporting evidence given. There were also exchanges resembling a support rivalry between different Hello! Project group fandoms, occasionally escalating into arguments with fans of other groups.
