The story
The official TikTok video for Juice=Juice’s new song “Dizzy☆Climax” has surpassed 50,000 likes. Among Hello! Project songs, this reportedly makes it only the second track — after Morning Musume。’25’s “Glow Up! Mi Amore” — to hit 50,000 likes on TikTok alone. On 5channel’s Hello! Project board, discussion centered on which member drove the number, how play counts are tallied, and comparisons with other groups. At the same time, some pointed out that fans are inflating the figures by repeatedly replaying and liking the video, with one skeptical voice noting that if you lose sight of what it really means, “it’s just manufactured feel-good content.”

Exactly that.
Without Tsuzumi this would've gone nowhere
One of the holdouts from the "Leave Hello! Project" crowd, huh
Beyo gets zero traction on TikTok at all, so whatever it's pulling off must be happening elsewhere — which makes it impressive in its own way
though Kudo's and Irie's solo videos regularly end up as the low points
That's true for the play count, but it has nothing to do with the like count we're discussing right now
What do you mean by that?
Ever since the narrative turned into something like "Hai to Diamond is the hot topic," they've been pushing that song on TikTok too, but it hasn't even cracked 10,000 likes there.
But what's actually impressive is that despite zero buzz on TikTok, they've driven up decent numbers on YouTube purely through hype on X and YouTube.
It just shows how hard the fans are grinding.
Sounds like they're suddenly climbing USEN's Oshi Request jukebox ranking too
This kind of grinding only lasts about a week, though
Sure, watching a number climb probably gives you a genuine dopamine hit of joy,
but if you lose sight of what it actually means, it's over.
If you're just celebrating a number you clicked into existence yourselves, that's nothing but manufactured feel-good content
Background and Key Points of the Discussion
The “like” count on official TikTok videos has become a popular yardstick among Hello! Project fans in recent years for gauging a song’s or member’s momentum, and until now “Glow Up! Mi Amore” was the only song to have crossed 50,000. Opinions in the thread split over how to judge fans repeatedly replaying and liking the video to push the numbers up — some welcomed it as a genuine achievement, while others took a cooler view, saying it’s “just celebrating a number you clicked into existence yourselves.” It’s also easy to conflate play counts and like counts, since TikTok has changed how it tallies views in the past and the two are separate metrics. Note that the references to specific individuals in the thread stem from insider context particular to 5channel, and the full background can’t be determined from the text alone.
