The story
Juice=Juice (Hello! Project) member Misaki Ebata reported on her blog that on a day when rehearsal wrapped up early, she “walked 10km after rehearsal.” The post got picked up on 5ch’s Hello! Project board, sparking a thread that mixed genuine astonishment at her stamina with a kind of calculation contest over how much time and distance 10km actually represents. Commenters cited examples like Shinjuku Station to Tokyo Station, or Shinjuku to Ogikubo, as roughly 10km, and opinions split over how to take the claim.
♡ Bit by bit Misaki Ebata
Rehearsal finished a little early today, so
I walked 10km after rehearsal 🚶♀

What people said
An hour and a half to two hours would do it
Shinjuku to Tokyo Station is 6km
10km is a lot farther than you think
That's fat-guy walking speed
What, are you crawling on all fours?
Background and Talking Points
Walking 10km at an average pace (roughly 4–6km/h) takes about 1.5 to 2.5 hours, and the thread turned into a running fact-check using concrete Tokyo geography — “Shinjuku to Tokyo Station is about 6km,” “Shinjuku to Ogikubo is about 10km” — as posters tried to pin down just how far that really is. While covering that kind of distance in the middle of a busy idol schedule impressed people as a feat of stamina, plenty of replies also tried to verify whether the claimed distance and time actually lined up, and reactions split between taking the post at face value and eyeing it with a bit of skepticism.
