The story
As a video recreating the choreography to Morning Musume’s signature song “Sexy Boy ~Soyokaze ni Yorisotte~” goes viral, AKB48 members posted their own TikTok video jumping on the “buzz.” In the Hello! Project subforum thread, welcoming comments like “Glad they’re joining in” mixed with skeptical ones like “Why aren’t the other Hello! Project groups doing this too?”, alongside some lighthearted back-and-forth comparing the visuals and video quality of the current members involved.
Everyone’s talking about it…? 🐈⬛

What people said
They already fired that guy, didn't they
No wonder they've become a has-been
Yeah — 'Anata ga Kudasaru Genki' (the energy only you can give), that classic lyric
This is gonna be a bigger boom than the 'Moremi' thing!
so it's really appreciated that AKB48 went out of their way to
Maybe knowing "Sexy Boy" ('Sekubo' for short) too well actually makes it harder to pull off
The girls doing this probably only know this one intro part
Jealous much? lol
Isn't it because Musume. themselves aren't doing it?
Because it'd be a disaster if it outperformed Morning Musume itself

Haru's cute
Totally losing on looks
Haru's got skills lol
AKB isn't actually dancing to that one though
Current AKB's visuals are actually pretty good
Total opposite of today's fake Morning Musume

This girl got cut at the joint Morning Musume/Juice=Juice new-member auditions
Isn't she the one who said she liked Juice=Juice?
She's cute, hope she gets more popular
These guys win
That's not the face you make looking at frozen fried rice

Quit the hating
They already did it ages ago
Did they do the 'Moremi' thing too?
Quality's low
Exactly
This one deserves some backlash
Background and Key Points of This Topic
“Sexy Boy ~Soyokaze ni Yorisotte~” is Morning Musume’s signature song, released back in 1999. This thread kicked off after a video recreating the song’s choreography went viral on social media, with AKB48 members then posting their own version on TikTok. Replies split along two lines: a welcoming camp (“Glad they’re joining in”) and a skeptical one asking why the other Hello! Project groups (Angerme, Juice=Juice, etc.) aren’t doing the same, with some posters speculating about power dynamics between the agencies. Worth noting: the original video itself appears to have come from Morning Musume’s own side (see reply #88), which reinforces the framing of AKB48’s video as a “jumping on the bandwagon” move. Some replies mention current members by name or reference their backgrounds, but only within publicly known activity — posts centered on disparaging remarks about appearance have been excluded from this summary.
