Starting at 9pm on September 29, Juice=Juice’s YouTube channel aired a live broadcast of “Harotsu GAMES” featuring Sakura Ishiyama and Akari Endo, who took on the co-op games “Log Riders” and “Super Bunny Man.” On 5ch’s Hello! Project threads, fans posted live commentary on the pair’s struggles with the games’ unforgiving physics, moments of laughter over volume adjustments, and nostalgic remarks about a video of former member Mizuki Murota tackling the same game. “Super Bunny Man” in particular is known for its brutal difficulty, and the thread saw reactions bordering on despair, like “this looks hopelessly impossible.”
Live broadcast, Tue 9/29, 9:00 PM

When you remember this is from back when Murota was still in the group, that's pretty wild

Didn't realize Ringo-chan could get this loud

Both of them end up getting sloppy so it drags in the second half, every time

Games these days give you so much freedom you can't even tell what counts as a trick anymore. Sorry, I'm from the Showa era

"Don't worry, I'll handle this" — saying something cool like that

Wait, maybe you just need to ride on this thing?
Background and Discussion Points
“Harotsu GAMES” is a YouTube series in which Hello! Project members take on video games, and this time Juice=Juice’s Sakura Ishiyama and Akari Endo joined as a pair. The featured title, “Super Bunny Man,” is a co-op platformer whose whole appeal is physics-driven controls that refuse to go the way you want — a game built around repeated failure and falling — so the commentary thread lit up with reactions like “this looks hopelessly impossible” and “it was a disaster when Yuhane tried this too.” Former group member Mizuki Murota, mentioned in the thread, once tackled the same game in the same series, and footage of that attempt is still fondly remembered today. The thread was mostly live commentary on the broadcast itself rather than a point of controversy — the game’s sheer difficulty was, by far, the biggest talking point.
