The story
On a 5ch thread where Hello! Project fans gather, multiple off-duty outfit photos of Juice=Juice and other members were posted, and the sheer number of them wearing jeans became a talking point. While some posters made styling requests like “I wish they’d roll up the cuffs” and “please, no more cheap-looking distressed denim,” others praised the jeans themselves, saying things like “it really shows off their great figures” and “jeans actually look more stylish.” As the chat spread, posters brought up how jeans originally started as workwear for coal miners, along with an anecdote about an old-guard singer from the folk-music-boom era who reportedly hated the idea of wearing jeans on the Kohaku Uta Gassen (Japan’s biggest New Year’s Eve music broadcast) — turning the thread into a broader chat about the place of jeans as a fashion item.
What people said
You gotta roll the hem up properly, you know.

Tako-chan's fashion sense has really leveled up lately.
One of them was crazy tanned, lol
That's nothing new, is it?

Marin's face is shockingly tiny in person.
That's Aimyon (the singer).
Why'd she take it off, lol
Marin-chan
Yume-chan (octopus tee)
Risachi
What about En-aka?
Amazing figure.
They were never an item meant to convey refinement or elegance in the first place
In that sense,
they're clothes that give off zero impression of quality or luxury.
Apparently when folk songs became a huge trend and artists wanted to wear jeans on the Kohaku Uta Gassen, old-guard singers from the pre-war generation hated the idea.
Wish she'd go for a cooler-looking style instead
Guess she's just not into it.
Is that so wrong?
Inoue's platform soles are unreal.
Background and Talking Points
This thread kicked off when someone compiled off-duty outfit photos of members who’d attended a Hello! Project event. Checking out idols’ everyday clothes has long been a favorite pastime among Hello! Project fans, complete with a whole culture of parsing outfit styles and guessing brands. This time, it just so happened that a lot of members were wearing jeans, which sent the conversation down the path of “why is everyone in jeans?” The reactions weren’t unanimous — some pushed back with complaints like “please skip the cheap-looking distressed denim,” while others praised jeans for “showing off a good figure.” The discussion expanded further from there, touching on how jeans originated as workwear for miners rather than clothing meant to look refined, and how, as denim spread into youth culture alongside the folk music boom, there were reportedly old-guard singers who hated the idea of artists wearing jeans on the Kohaku Uta Gassen. What started as simple outfit commentary ended up drifting into a broader chat about the origins of jeans as a fashion item.
