The story
With ANGERME’s fall tour stop in Nagoya just a day away, group leader Ise took to her blog to appeal to fans, writing that she’d love to see more people come in on day-of tickets. In the 5ch live-discussion thread, posters pointed to the fact that sister group Juice=Juice’s shows around the same time had sold out in advance, raising doubts about whether the venue capacities chosen for ANGERME actually match its real drawing power. At the same time, some voiced fatigue with seeing this kind of turnout appeal made ahead of nearly every show, so opinions split between blaming the agency’s venue choices for the weak turnout and taking issue with the repeated appeals themselves.
Tomorrow’s the fall tour stop in Nagoya!
Honestly, I’d love for more of you to grab day-of tickets and come!
There’s still room to get in…!

What people said
Move to livehouses.
Now that Rock in Japan's been cancelled, touring fans might find it a bit easier to make it out
No matter what, I want to play it.
Since I'm absolutely going to play it, I'll keep grinding tomorrow, the day after, and beyond!!!
I have zero intention of quitting yet, none at all
UP-FRONT's supposed to be known for nailing venue capacity…
That's because they pick venues based on how popular the group was a year ago
I'd rather hear "we'll make sure you have a blast!"
Can't just lie though
Hey, hey, hey,
did you know
Nishimura Otoki
got new bangs?
Wanna come to Budokan
and check if they suit her?
You'd be missing out if you don't come see!!
ANGERME one-on-one meet-and-greet
1st time
Goto: "Please don't drift off to the younger girls." (really presses the point)
Old-guard wota: (flustered) "Hana-chan's my favorite, I won't drift to anyone younger than her!"
Goto: "I'm watching you, you know."
2nd time
Goto: "Oh! You came again! You're coming to the fall tour too, right? Right?"
Old-guard wota: "Yeah, I'm going to the Ise and Sendai shows."
Goto: "Make sure you watch Hana a lot, okay!"
Old-guard wota: "Yes ma'am!"
The agency's too busy fawning over Juice to be any help
Do livestreams and blog posts like Tsubaki does, you idiot
The agency's lost its mind
Don't worry, they're not doing that anymore starting next year
it'd make me so happy if a few more people could come out…
I want you all to see us, but how do I get you to come see us~~! 🥲 Anyway, I just really want everyone to come.
First of all, to everyone who came today,
see you again next time (☆)

Doesn't it get exhausting, begging one-sidedly like this every single day?
every stop from here on except Ise is going to look like this
Even the agency and the fans probably didn't expect ANGERME to end up looking this pathetic
They already knew Juice was selling well off the hype, so couldn't they have swapped venues before announcing the fall tour?
it's "stop booking unreasonable tours" aimed at the agency

Background and Discussion Points
Behind this appeal lies the fact that during the spring tour, too, seats went unfilled at every show except opening night and the Osaka performance — leading to speculation in the thread that the agency sets venue sizes based on the group’s popularity from a year earlier. Fellow Hello! Project group Tsubaki Factory is also said to still be carrying the handicap of seats it previously had to give back, suggesting that differences in each group’s drawing power feed directly into the difficulty of picking the right venue. Opinion in the thread split between those who blame the agency’s venue selection for the poor turnout and those who are simply worn out by the members having to plead “please come” at nearly every show — circumstances that go beyond a simple matter of one group being more or less popular than another.
