The story
It’s been announced that Juice=Juice will perform at Showa Women’s University’s Hitomi Memorial Hall on November 15 as part of the school’s “Cosmos Festival.” On 5ch’s Hello! Project board, the fact that the venue is a women’s university sparked a flood of posts debating whether male fans would even be let in, with comments like “Can you even get into a women’s university?” and “It’s way too scary imagining you old geezers getting in.” Users also pointed out past acts who played the same hall — iLiFE! in 2025, Da-iCE in 2024, and EXILE’s TAKAHIRO in 2023 — fueling talk about how star-studded the lineup has been. Meanwhile, unverified speculation flew around about everything from the performance fee to how far onto campus attendees would actually be allowed to go.

Juice=Juice, after a lineup like that?
Nothing but big-name acts
Sounds like it turned into a scalper frenzy
Guess I'll just apply and see what happens
Isn't the hall right at the outer edge of the campus grounds?
Hello! Project fans get stopped by security right there and told "no further"
Ise's been saying she's swamped with her current ANGERME duties
Being busy is a good thing for an entertainer, isn't it?
I'm speaking from actual experience here
No way that happens for Juice=Juice fans
Background and Key Points
Showa Women’s University’s Hitomi Memorial Hall serves both as the venue for the Cosmos Festival and, separately from the festival itself, as a multi-purpose hall rented out to outside artists. In the thread, the past acts mentioned weren’t clearly distinguished as having performed as part of the Cosmos Festival itself versus simply renting the hall for a standalone show — and some pointed out that even at the same venue, how far onto campus you’re allowed and how tight security is can differ between an actual “festival day” show and a “rented hall” booking. One post claimed the performance fee was “3 to 4 million yen,” but this is purely anonymous-board speculation, not a figure released by the organizers. Since this is a school festival, students and staff may get priority with limited general-admission slots, but the announcement doesn’t spell out detailed attendance conditions, so an official update will need to be awaited.
