TV Tokyo’s street-interview program “Can I Follow You Home?” featured a fan of the Hello! Project group Juice=Juice as this episode’s subject. On 5ch’s Hello! Project board, viewers moved quickly to identify the fan, with many guessing “Isn’t that a Danbara oshi (a fan of member Ruru Danbara)?” — and some voiced surprise that the show’s staff seemed to recognize the group’s name without issue. Photos posted during the broadcast drew comments like “she looks so much better here” and “looks like a totally different person,” while the segment’s short runtime led others to suspect TV Tokyo had arranged the appearance in advance, questioning the show’s true intentions. Reactions were split.

Kinda looks like Yukanya (a member's nickname)

Guess 'Juice=Juice' is just a name people actually recognize

Even a total veteran does stuff like this.
Never forgetting to thank the fans.
Hello! Project could learn a thing or two.

Bringing a TV crew home like that is impressive.
You'd need serious confidence to pull it off.

This right here is peak 'Glow-Up Amore' (an extra-flattering shot, plus the fandom's go-to catchphrase)

Bad ending
48AnonymousSep 6, 2026 21:27
That's Kero, right? (Kero = member Ruru Danbara's nickname)
52AnonymousSep 6, 2026 21:27
Lots of Kamiko (member Kamikokuryō) stuff here
58AnonymousSep 6, 2026 21:27
I'm a Danbara fan, and yeah, that's Kero's face all right
59AnonymousSep 6, 2026 21:28
So TV Tokyo stages things too, huh

Thought that was me for a second, scary

Guess female fans are way better at collecting FSK (fan slang, likely fancam/footage related) properly

That's showbiz — like the old saying goes, 'when the wind blows, the bucket-maker profits' (one thing triggers a whole chain of unexpected effects), and it just keeps rippling outward like this

Dragging every possible event along with it, Juice=Juice's year-end is closing in
81AnonymousSep 6, 2026 21:33
Nurse Amore (the fandom's running catchphrase)
82AnonymousSep 6, 2026 21:34
Wait, this soccer player's the otaku?

She probably got picked because she's the Juice fan who's going viral
“Can I Follow You Home?” is a long-running TV Tokyo street-interview show whose whole appeal is approaching people late at night and following them all the way back to their homes. This time, a fan of Juice=Juice became the subject, and reactions poured in on the Hello! Project board almost the moment the segment aired. Posters moved fast to identify whose fan the subject was, and some were surprised that not just the member’s name but the group name itself seemed to register with ordinary people. At the same time, some suspected the appearance had been arranged in advance — a suspicion informed by past claims that the show has occasionally handpicked fans of celebrities or otherwise buzzworthy figures for its segments. The fact that the aired footage felt short only fed that suspicion further. Neither the show’s producers nor those involved have commented on the actual intent behind the segment, so the truth of the matter remains unconfirmed.
