The story
The official TikTok account of Hello! Project group Juice=Juice was found to be following several members of a male underground idol group calling itself “#Lovesick,” sparking discussion on 5ch’s Hello! Project board. Thread posters were split on whether it was simply an accidental follow or the result of some behind-the-scenes contact through staff, and some pointed out that “Lovesick” had previously been linked to a scandal implying a relationship with the idol group “=LOVE,” fueling curiosity about how the connection came about. The thread also veered into a tangent comparing the venue sizes of Juice=Juice and Angerme concerts.
What people said
They're a cut above Angerme.
So that means Equal Love and Juice=Juice are on the same level.
Isn't Angerme on the same level too?
Angerme's selling out Yokohama Arena at full capacity. In terms of big venues, Juice ranks below Beyooooonds.
Can they still pull that off with the current lineup?
Oh really? Let's just send Ebata back to Kyoto already.

Background and Key Points of This Topic
It’s not uncommon for corporate and official accounts to be managed by multiple staff members on rotation, making it hard for outsiders to tell whether a change in who an account follows reflects genuine intent or simply an operator’s mistake. Opinions in the thread were divided on this point, and much of the discussion never rose above speculation. Additionally, the term “underground idol” technically refers to acts that mainly perform at small venues, but it’s sometimes applied loosely even to groups with a track record of playing large venues — a point some thread posters also questioned. As for the earlier reports hinting at a relationship with “=LOVE,” those too remain unconfirmed rumor, and it should be noted that the facts have not been verified.
