The story
Hello! Project idol group Rosy Chronicle appeared on “Uta-Tube SPORTS FES.,” a music program broadcast on NHK General TV (Tokai region, 3 prefectures) on the morning of September 19. Tied to the opening of the Asian Games, the special aired live from Nagoya alongside Shonan no Kaze, SKE48, Sunplaza Nakano-kun, and Airi Suzuki, with Grampus-kun and Black Doala also making appearances. On the thread, users speculated about why Rosy was chosen for the slot out of all the Hello! Project groups, and buzzed about the fact that Rosy sang live with their own voices, in contrast to the lip-syncing from other groups.

Though admittedly his voice doesn't carry quite like it used to

Thanks as always
But why Rosy for the Asian Games PR?
I don't get it
Was Rosy just the Hello! Project group that happened to be free?
I think it was Tsubaki last time
Either Rosy happened to be free, or they were specifically cast
This is just a continuation of that, with newer groups getting the slot now
Come to think of it, I think Airi did an Uta-Tube location shoot in Gero, Gifu at some point too
That's right
Now I remember

They went with black outfits since it's Black Doala… seriously? lol
Yeah that's kind of… not great
Though there's a fair amount of vocal layering going on

Are they going down into the audience? Where's Rosy?
Rosy didn't come down into the crowd — she was on stage swinging a towel behind Shonan no Kaze

Oh, true, she came out from behind them

Background and Talking Points
“Uta-Tube” is a long-running NHK Nagoya music program that has, in past years, given one Hello! Project group a guest slot each time — Tsubaki Factory among them. According to the thread, last year’s slot went to Juice=Juice while Kawashima was on hiatus, and this time the slot fell to Rosy Chronicle. Since NHK doesn’t officially explain its casting choices, opinions on the thread were split between “they just happened to be free” and “they were deliberately cast.” The special also doubled as PR for the opening of the Asian Games: while groups with strong local ties, like SKE48 and Shonan no Kaze, leaned into hometown talk, Rosy made their mark less through local connections and more through the performance itself. Whether a group lip-syncs or not is a perennial topic on 5ch, and this time many commenters singled out praise for Rosy singing with their own live vocals. Also worth noting, per the thread, is that the broadcast was local to the Tokai region’s three prefectures, with viewers elsewhere only able to catch it via catch-up streaming.
