The story
The music video for “Moré! Mi Amore,” the new song by Hello! Project idol group Juice=Juice and popular pianist Haramichan, has racked up 533,000 views in the week since its release. (“Moré” plays on Japanese slang for looking extra glammed-up.) On 5ch’s Hello! Project board, a thread comparing the view counts of past songs sprang up, buzzing over the fact that it trails only “BLOODY BULLET” (674,000) and “Pride Bright” (618,000) among songs released since 2020. While some posters were upbeat, saying things like “They’ve squeezed this song dry for a whole year and it still hits this hard,” others jumped in to compare it with new releases from BEYOOOOONDS and Morning Musume.’26, which are also gaining traction right now, sparking a split of opinion over which group is more popular.

Background and Talking Points
YouTube view counts are often used among fans as a yardstick for gauging the momentum of Hello! Project songs, but the figures are usually not official releases — they’re numbers fans of each group tally up themselves. In this thread too, posts lined up comparing view counts across past Juice=Juice songs and new releases from BEYOOOOONDS and Morning Musume.’26 that came out around the same time, and it spiraled into a back-and-forth over which group comes out on top. Since view counts are affected by release timing, whether promotion was done, and how widely fans share the video, it’s hard to gauge real popularity from raw numbers alone. Some posters in the thread cast doubt on the specific tallying method, but no supporting evidence was offered, which is worth keeping in mind.
