The story
Morning Musume。’26 held an internet signing event on September 24, 2026 to commemorate the release of their 77th single, ‘Lonely…But not Alone/Yes ka No ka Watashi ka.’ Oda Sakura and Sugihara Akisa appeared from 18:00, followed by Yuzuketa Akoto and Yasuda Miyu from 19:30. On 5ch’s live-discussion thread, reactions centered on behind-the-scenes details of the pairings — comparisons of concurrent viewer counts with past pairs (Okamura/Suzuki, Yamazaki/Ishikawa), and the answer to “why pair Yuzuketa with Yasuda?”: apparently because they happened to sit next to each other on the bullet train. Comments also praised Sugihara’s talkativeness and compared the session to past pairings.
What people said
18:00~ Oda Sakura (autograph board A), Sugihara Akisa (autograph board A)
19:30~ Yuzuketa Akoto (autograph board A), Yasuda Miyu (autograph board A)
Non-payers are basically freeloaders, so I guess they're happy with anything as long as they get to see the members?
Some people don't even watch it if they lost the draw.
I'm building AI clones of the Hello! Project members, so I feed the AI their verbal tics and intonation.
I feed it their radio appearances too, but Rimisuta is especially valuable since you get a solid 30 minutes of footage per member.
It's gotten good enough that the **AI clones** could basically run something like Rimisuta between themselves, but they're still struggling with pronunciation, so it's a work in progress.
If you lose the draw, that's just game over, isn't it?

The visuals look kind of rough, so I'll watch it later.
Whether you watch it now or later, the visuals aren't gonna change lol
Normally the newer member signs first, right?
? That's about post #39.
For both Suzuki and Ishikawa too, the senior member demonstrated first.
I'll just enjoy the soccer from the second half onward.
I want Meisa to sing "Sou sa~" ("That's right~")
Make sure you land it!
That's a nice thing to hear from Oda — makes me happy.
If that line goes to someone else, it's gonna cause an uproar.
Meisa looks like voice actress Ishikawa Yui.
Suzuki being "trained" by Homare was cute, and Ishikawa was hilarious with her airhead moments, like suddenly going dead serious out of nowhere.
Those two felt like little kids.
Sugihara seems like she could land her own radio show.
She might end up hosting Yantan (a radio show) after Rairii graduates.
Rairii ain't quitting~
Because they happened to sit next to each other on the bullet train recently.
Yamazaki/Ishikawa: over 1,600 viewers
Oda/Sugihara: over 1,200 viewers
Wonder how Yuzuketa/Yasuda will do.
Saku-Mei (Oda/Sugihara) topped 1,300.
Factor in the time slot.

we ended up having to hear "Getter's" answer to a question nobody even asked her.
Moa-chan couldn't quite do that either.
She probably doesn't know how to answer, so the senior member shows her a model answer.
It's both a save and an assist.
Background and Talking Points
“Rimisuta” is an online autograph-signing livestream that Hello! Project holds on YouTube with every CD release — it’s positioned as a broadcast for winners of the shikishi (autograph board) lottery, which is why the thread saw differing opinions over viewing eligibility, i.e. whether it’s worth watching for people who lost the lottery or for non-paying viewers. It’s also worth noting that the viewer-count comparisons refer only to simultaneous YouTube Live connections, which can be affected by overlapping events on the same day (such as the soccer broadcast that day), so reading them as a straightforward popularity ranking would be premature. As for the pairings, no official rationale has been disclosed, and it should be kept in mind that the “they sat next to each other on the bullet train” explanation is itself just speculation within the thread.
