The story
On the night of the 10th, Tsubaki Factory held a YouTube livestream titled “Let’s Go! Tsubaki Factory” on Skyperfect!’s official channel ahead of their Nippon Budokan concert. The stream was originally set to start at 6:30 PM, but the official account announced a last-minute delay to “around 6:45 PM,” and then pushed things back again right before going live with “please wait 5 more minutes.” On 5ch’s Hello! Project board, conflicting reports about ticket sales circulated — some posts saying “almost sold out,” others “about to sell out completely” — while the repeated delays drew complaints like “they should’ve just started at 7 PM from the beginning.” The thread ended up a mix of excitement and grumbling.

"Almost sold out" is basically the same as sold out
Well, it's been 3 hours and it's still showing ◎ (plenty available), so it's not actually sold out
FamilyMart's showing "almost sold out"
About to sell out completely
her smile won't move,
but under that big Rising Sun flag
I finally get to meet you.
Step off at Kudanshita station, down the slope,
push past the stream of fellow fans,
and at dusk the clouds burn red and fall away,
and under the roof, Mao's spotlight shines.
(Kudanshita is the train station for Nippon Budokan; "Mao" refers to a Tsubaki Factory member)
Hurry

Did Runo just slyly swipe Chiori's orange (signature color)?
@tsubakifac_uf
Making final adjustments right now!
Please wait 5 more minutes!!🙇♂
If that's the case they should've just started at 7PM from the get-go💢
Yeah, near the end it was just rehashes of old segments
Maybe the competent staff got poached

Fuu-chan lol
Well, she's just genuinely talented
You clearly haven't been watching Ikutsuba
Actually it's the opposite — back on the regular show he had pretty good comedic sense
The "writer" is always just director Okamura moonlighting
Background and Key Points of This Discussion
Tsubaki Factory is an idol group under Hello! Project, and this livestream — doubling as an announcement tied to their upcoming Nippon Budokan concert — was broadcast for free on Skyperfect!’s official YouTube channel. Opinions in the thread mainly split over two things: the repeated start-time delays, and how to read the ticket sales figures. Because the announced start time slipped from 6:30 PM to 6:45 PM and then a few more minutes beyond that, viewers’ reactions ranged from eager anticipation to pointed criticism of the production’s handling. As for tickets, stock indicators varied by vendor, so whether “almost sold out” meant “about to completely sell out” or “there’s still some room left” was debated post by post. Some posts also speculated about the reasons behind the end of the group’s previous TV program, suggesting a possible connection between the shift to livestreaming and that show’s cancellation.
