The story
On September 26, 2026, ANGERME’s Goto Hana said during the MC segment of a concert in Ise, Mie Prefecture: “The G in ANGERME is Goto’s G, but it’s also the G in gokiburi (cockroach) — and since cockroaches have lived longer than humans, I’m a descendant of cockroaches too.” The remark quickly hit the 5ch Hello! Project board, sparking laughs and a new nickname, “Gokijurumu,” while also drawing puzzled reactions given that a thread titled “The Face of Someone Who’d Overcome Something” had been posted just before it. The thread ended up split between people enjoying it as a pure gag and others voicing worry or suspicion over the out-of-character remark.

Seriously, exactly this
Something must have happened
She never used to say things like this
If she were a normal idol she'd say something like "G is for Genki (energy)"
Feel free to call them that from now on
The "G" there means cockroach, and cockroaches are humanity's enemy
They go around killing people left and right
@
Dropped her mic, messed up the choreo too
She's getting a talking-to along with Yuppyon.
😤😤😤
Seriously the worst
Just NG (mute) it, lol
Speaking of reptiles, that's Rin-chan's thing
Did something happen with her?
Hanana and Suzu-chan seemed just as close as always today
Background and Talking Points
ANGERME is an idol group under the Hello! Project umbrella, and matching each letter of the group’s name to a member’s initial has long been a running bit among fans — Goto’s comment is an extension of that tradition. The claim that cockroaches’ ancestors predate the emergence of humans by a wide margin isn’t actually wrong as a piece of evolutionary trivia, but bringing it up during an MC segment struck some as “out of character” for her. Reactions in the thread split between those simply enjoying it as wordplay and those who, recalling an earlier thread titled “The Face of Someone Who’d Overcome Something” (>>5), read the shift in her tone with concern or suspicion. Some comments in the latter camp made baseless assumptions about her physical or mental state, and such unsubstantiated claims have been excluded from this article.
