The story
A report on the 5ch Hello! Project board says Juice=Juice’s official YouTube channel has hit 340,000 subscribers. The thread before last had it at 320,000, and the previous thread at 330,000, showing just how fast the number has climbed over the past few months. Discussion centered on comparing it with fellow Hello! Project group Angerme’s subscriber count (234,000), with posters debating how little Angerme has grown over the past year. Comparisons also flew around with Morning Musume’s 618,000 and newer groups’ numbers, once again highlighting the gap in YouTube popularity within Hello! Project.

Why didn't you push this hard for Kago's channel too?
Explain yourself, Asahi Net guy (a poster whose visible ISP is Asahi Net — a running in-joke target in these threads)
Angerme: 234,000
Guess it hasn't grown at all in a year.
That's because Angerme fans don't watch YouTube.
are out here stirring up rivalry with daily subscriber-count comparisons?
THIS is what a real breakout hit looks like!!!
It's not just 340,000 — the impressive part is gaining over 100,000 in a single year
These are basically all active users
so of course the videos rack up views too
— neck and neck with nothing between them.
Morning Musume
Channel subscribers: 618,000
That's a huge jump
Is it people after the AI-generated audio tracks from the subscription service?
Probably means the active user base is pretty small.
CUTIE STREET: 786,000
=LOVE: 852,000
Juice is nothing but a third-rate idol group
Bet that stings lololol

231,000 Juice=Juice
228,000 Angerme
So if we just hold out about two more years, tour tickets might get easy to score again like the old days?
Guess I'll wait it out.
At least it's not going down.
Don't expect today's kids to be patient enough to subscribe to a channel that updates this rarely.
Up through the 'Moreru' era they kept trading the lead back and forth.
They really should put more into YouTube
and show off their natural charm outside of live footage too
Background and Key Points
This thread is one of Hello! Project’s recurring “subscriber count watch” threads, tracking the number as it climbs every few months — 320,000, then 330,000, now 340,000. The main point of debate was that Juice=Juice gained roughly 110,000 subscribers over the past year while Angerme, active over the same period, stayed essentially flat — with the gap read as a difference in momentum between the two groups. That said, some pointed out that subscriber counts are cumulative totals that stick around even after people stop watching a channel, and that groups with big numbers like Morning Musume’s 618,000 don’t necessarily see view counts keep pace. The idea that raw subscriber counts alone are a poor measure of a group’s actual popularity or momentum is a nuance that tends to get lost in the excitement of these threads.
