The story
The first episode of Nippon Broadcasting System’s new show “Juice=Juice Juicy Talk” aired on October 4 from 9:00 to 9:30 PM. The program features Juice=Juice members taking turns appearing to share updates on their activities and behind-the-scenes talk with a different flavor than what fans see onstage; the announcement on the group’s official X account drew 347 likes. On 5ch’s Hello! Project board, discussion centered on the fact that the promotional hashtags were split between “#JuiceTalk” and “#StayingHydrated” (a playful nod tying “hydration” to the group’s name, Juice=Juice), as well as the fact that the show never trended on X after airing — with some fans chalking that up to the short 30-minute time slot, while others dismissed that explanation as anti-fans nitpicking.

#StayingHydrated is just a one-episode bonus hashtag
It's only a 30-minute slot, of course it didn't
If you're out in the countryside, is paying for radiko premium the only way to listen?
They hit #1 on the trends back when they first started showing up on TV, so this is just the usual move — antis love picking at anything small to claim they're "washed up" or "nobody cares anymore"
>afraid of flying
I seem to recall hearing she once grabbed another member's sleeve during takeoff or landing
Don't tell me that's why she barely ever goes to Hokkaido… lol
Background and Key Points of This Debate
Juice=Juice is a Hello! Project group formed in 2013, and having their own radio show is one way to boost their exposure. “Juicy Talk” airs Sundays from 9:00 to 9:30 PM — a shorter slot than late-night programs — which makes it harder for posts about it to pile up on X and puts it at a disadvantage when it comes to trending. Right after the broadcast, some thread posters pointed out that it hadn’t trended, but another reply pushed back, noting that the group hit #1 on the trends when they first started appearing on TV — suggesting that trending (or not) can’t simply be used as a measure of popularity. The fact that promotion ran on two separate hashtags — the main “#JuiceTalk” and the episode-only bonus tag “#StayingHydrated” — also appears to be one reason the first episode’s announcement caused some confusion and inconsistent usage among fans.
