Airi Suzuki to Appear on ‘Another Sky’ — 5th Hello! Project Member Ever, 5ch: ‘First One Not From Morning Musume’

From our other sites

The story

Nippon TV has announced that Hello! Project alum Airi Suzuki will appear on the November 14 episode of “Another Sky.” The setting is London, England — the home of musical theater — and the show has released a preview showing her exploring local markets and cooking for herself during her stay. She’s the fifth Hello! Project-affiliated star to appear on the show, following Mari Yaguchi (2009), Miki Fujimoto (2013), Sayumi Michishige (2014), and Maki Goto (2018) — and the first one who isn’t from Morning Musume. On 5ch, posters speculated about who might get the call next, floating names like Riho Sayashi, Mei Tamura, and Kaede Kaga, and debated just where the “bar” for landing a spot on the show actually is.

Who's our guest at this location? 🤔
Here's an early look at an upcoming shoot 📸

The destination: London, England — home of world-famous musical theater!
Who could this guest be, the one who took on a musical here last year? 💭
Take your best guess! 👀

Here's a hint: she's known as "the idol other idols look up to," and she's done it all — singer, actress, model, MC! 💃🎤

Our London guest is artist/actress #AiriSuzuki! 💕

She headed to Borough Market, the massive food market under the railway arches 🥖🧀
Wherever she travels, Suzuki says she always makes a point of visiting the kind of market where the locals actually shop! 🛒

At this iconic London food spot, she enjoyed a feast of colorful ingredients 🍴😋

At her hotel, she cooked up her go-to homemade dish: samgyetang (Korean ginseng chicken soup) 👩‍🍳🐓
A rare look at Suzuki in the kitchen 🫕

She says she cooked for herself a lot during her London stay, taking extra care of her throat and health 👀

It finally happened
10AnonymousNov 12, 2026 18:17
First one who's not from Morning Musume, huh
11AnonymousNov 12, 2026 18:18
If Airi can get the call, I guess Sayashi's out of reach, huh?
13AnonymousNov 12, 2026 18:20
Re: #11
If her fame and popularity go up, maybe eventually
12AnonymousNov 12, 2026 18:18
You can't get on this show without clearing some fame threshold first
14AnonymousNov 12, 2026 18:21
Wasn't there a huge gap between the domestic and overseas tiers of guests on this show?
Airi's amazing
16AnonymousNov 12, 2026 18:23
Re: #14
It's mostly overseas guests, right?
Occasionally domestic

Re: #15
She's one of the next Hello! Project candidates
though she's still not famous enough
18AnonymousNov 12, 2026 18:28
Among active OGs, the candidates are probably Sayashi and Tamura
Current members — even in Juice=Juice — are each basically unknown
19AnonymousNov 12, 2026 18:32
Haru-chan…

Kudo was close, yeah

Nobody's even fighting and you're already swinging the club
34AnonymousNov 12, 2026 18:46
Even among the golden-era members, only the ones who kept landing TV work afterward make the cut
37AnonymousNov 12, 2026 18:47
Kaede Kaga's the most likely pick
41AnonymousNov 12, 2026 18:48
Kaga performed at the Imperial Theatre,
but Tamura never got that stage, did she?
44AnonymousNov 12, 2026 18:53
Right now it's basically just Sayashi and Tamura
Makino and the others — who knows how it'll go for them yet
48AnonymousNov 12, 2026 18:56
Congrats on joining the ranks of A-list celebrities
50AnonymousNov 12, 2026 18:59
Wasn't this show launched right after the golden era ended?
That's why only the golden-era members who managed to survive afterward have ever appeared
51AnonymousNov 12, 2026 19:00
Also, Michishige's become a variety-show regular (baradoru) and a "One for Legend"-level star
53AnonymousNov 12, 2026 19:01
The Up-Front camp's doing pretty well lately — they're landing a good amount of media work

Sometimes whole groups get on the show, too
If Juice=Juice can land one more viral hit, they're in

Wait, it changes every year?

Background and Key Points of Discussion

“Another Sky” is a documentary-style show in which celebrities visit a place overseas that holds special meaning for them, and appearing on it is generally seen as a mark of fame and achievement in the industry. On the Hello! Project side, Mari Yaguchi, Miki Fujimoto, Sayumi Michishige, and Maki Goto — all of whom led Morning Musume during its “golden era” — have appeared on the show, which fed into the thread’s view that “even among golden-era members, only the ones who kept landing TV work afterward get to appear.” Airi Suzuki built her name not through Morning Musume but through CéciL McBee and her solo career, which is why her being the first guest from outside that group became the focus of discussion. Posters floated Riho Sayashi, Mei Tamura, and Kaede Kaga as potential next candidates, but most comments noted that none of them are famous enough yet, leaving opinions split on how realistic that is. It’s worth noting that the show has never officially stated its selection criteria, so this remains speculation from the thread.
