The story
Kobayashi Honoka (nicknamed “Honopi”), a member of Hello! Project’s BEYOOOOONDS, appeared on BS Fuji’s morning music program “Nodame’s Classical Hits,” prompting fans to set up a live-reaction thread on 5ch’s Hello! Project board. Right after the broadcast started, posters wondered “Was this even announced?” and “Isn’t that the BEYOOOOONDS Kobayashi Honoka?” — questioning the air time and worrying about mixing her up with someone else. Once the show got going, talk shifted to the featured pieces, the recording venue, and differences from past footage. Some posters also noted that in footage apparently filmed in 2022, she looked different from how she does now.

A generous helping of the classical masterpieces featured in 'Nodame Cantabile,' paired with comic panels and live performances.
Was there even an announcement?
Auto-recording folks, don't let your guard down
Honopi was playing piano in it
Earlier it was "Rock'n Omelette" or something
Guess I'll watch
Guess ticket sales aren't going too well?
No wait, it's a hall, so probably not
It's an outdoor stage
Isn't Tokorozawa the place that got mocked in "Fly Me to the Saitama"?
Well, guess it's not glass-walled then
The way she said it felt so heartfelt
Background and Key Points of This Topic
“Nodame’s Classical Hits” is an occasional special program on BS Fuji that introduces classical masterpieces featured in the manga/drama “Nodame Cantabile,” pairing comic panels with live performances. Kobayashi Honoka, who appears on the show, is a member of Hello! Project’s group BEYOOOOONDS and is known among fans by the nickname “Honopi.” The early-thread comment “Isn’t that the BEYOOOOONDS Kobayashi Honoka?” was simply a heads-up to avoid confusing her with someone else who shares the same name, not a denial of her identity. Posters later in the thread noticed that some footage appeared to have been recorded in 2022, sparking discussion about how her hairstyle and overall look differ from now — a comment on the passage of time, not a criticism of her appearance. The “New Year Gala” mentioned on the show refers to a classical concert held annually at the start of the year, and the broadcast appears to have doubled as promotion for that event.
