The story
Akari Takeuchi, a former Hello! Project member who has continued her solo career since graduating from Juice=Juice, posted on X about being served sushi smeared with a huge amount of wasabi, tweeting, “Could today’s Juice=Juice even pull this off!?” The post became a hot topic on 5ch’s Hello! Project board. Her remark, rooted in her own past experience being on the receiving end of reckless dares in Juice=Juice, sparked a wave of nostalgia in the thread, along with comments pointing out that it’s now the junior group ANGERME handling these kinds of bits — the discussion even spiraled into comparisons of graduated members’ “workloads.”

Made me realize all over again just how great Takeuchi was
Wish "President" Tanahashi could've seen this (nickname of pro wrestler Hiroshi Tanahashi)
Tanahashi's retired, but in his last match he got spat on and KO'd with a piledriver
"I have an announcement for everyone,"
which scared the staff half to death
Background and Key Points of This Topic
Akari Takeuchi has continued her solo career both inside and outside Hello! Project since graduating from Juice=Juice in 2020. “Reckless dare” segments like piling on huge amounts of wasabi have long been a staple bit on Hello! Project-affiliated shows and location shoots, with how far a member is willing to push her body being part of the appeal. Opinions in the thread diverged over the fact that it’s now junior group ANGERME, rather than Juice=Juice, handling these kinds of dares, with remarks like “leave the dirty work to ANGERME” clashing with both defenses and counterarguments. Posts comparing the workloads of graduated members also appeared, though the thread didn’t address the fact that the scope of entertainment activities and contract arrangements differ from member to member, making simple comparisons difficult.
