The story
A collab stage video featuring Hello! Project idol group Juice=Juice and Sanrio’s popular character Pompompurin was posted on X and became a hot topic on 5ch’s Hello!Project board. The clip is from a performance titled “Mi Amore,” and shows a costumed Pompompurin joining in on the dance. The thread was flooded with reactions to the cuteness, while fans also traded guesses about who’s inside the costume, compared it to past similar collabs, and discussed how hyped the venue seemed.

What people said
Though apparently it hasn't affected the video's numbers on X
It's P(ompom) P(udding), duh
Nina was 2 years ago, last year's "King" was Tsubaki, and this year's "Nonnon" is Musume
Is this group even actually popular?
Background and Discussion Points
Juice=Juice is a female idol group under Hello! Project, and collab stages with Sanrio characters have happened before. Comments in the thread like “Nina was 2 years ago,” “last year’s ‘King’ was Tsubaki,” and “this year’s ‘Nonnon’ is Musume” suggest that using costumed mascots in stage productions has become an established part of Hello!Project shows. Since the identity of whoever’s inside the costume is never officially revealed, posts floating an “it’s probably [a specific staffer] inside” theory are pure fan speculation, not confirmed fact. There were also comments noting that “the cheering seemed thin,” but how loud the crowd calls are can vary by venue rules and which show it is, so that alone isn’t solid evidence of the group’s popularity.
