The story
On the September 11 broadcast of CDTV Live! Live!’s “Autumn Thanksgiving Festival 2026,” the show held its traditional finale segment in which every performing artist sings one song together, and the song chosen was “Mi Amore.” Reactions poured in on 5ch’s Hello! Project board right after the broadcast, with comments like “This is already the song of the year” and “Kohaku is a lock.” The mass sing-along, which also pulled in performers from other groups like FRUITS ZIPPER and NiziU, became a hot topic, with some posters saying its popularity now rivals — or even surpasses — past hits like “Momoiro Kataomoi” and “Hatsukoi Cider.” At the same time, some took a cooler view on whether the song will actually make the year-end Kohaku Uta Gassen lineup, making for a thread that mixed genuine hope with realistic skepticism.
What people said
Makes sense it'd be the perfect closer for the festival
It's not just on par with "Momoiro Kataomoi" and "Hatsukoi Cider" — it's topped them
They're so busy it's honestly a little worrying
so it makes sense it ends up being the defining song
Full appearances on every year-end music show are a lock
Kohaku's basically confirmed
Background and points of discussion
CDTV Live! Live! is a TBS music program broadcast live late on Tuesday nights, and “Autumn Thanksgiving Festival” is one of its special editions. Having every performing artist sing one song together at the show’s finale is a longstanding tradition of the program, and this time the song chosen was “Mi Amore.” What split opinion in the thread was whether this song will actually be selected for the year-end Kohaku Uta Gassen — while hopeful voices stood out, cooler remarks like “Sorry, it’s not making Kohaku~” also appeared, so it’s worth noting the posts were a mix of fan wishful thinking and more realistic assessment. The comparisons to “Momoiro Kataomoi” and “Hatsukoi Cider” likewise reflect posters’ personal impressions rather than any official sales figures. The original thread also contained posts exposing a specific individual’s personal background and posts disparaging a real idol’s appearance; these have been excluded as unrelated to the focus of this article.
