The story

It’s been revealed that Juice=Juice will appear on NHK’s Venue101, airing September 5, where they’ll perform “Kurakura☆Climax.” The thread noted that Angerme is also set to appear on a separate program that same day, and users listed the group’s recent run of TV appearances — CDTV, Utacon, the Hamada Kayo Festival, and more — expressing excitement over their rising media exposure. At the same time, some worried about tickets becoming harder to get, while others speculated that a group’s ease of landing music-show slots might depend on which label it’s signed to — adding a note of concern to the group’s growing popularity.

Angerme's on that day too — they're appearing on 'Vanilla' (apparently another program).

🌻 Tell us your #1 memory song of this summer! 🌻
*This may get featured on the show

"Kokuhaku Shitai Yamai" ("The Urge to Confess") — such a cute summer memory of a song.

Kōhaku's a lock. Meanwhile, other Hello! Project members are doing a Year-End Concert in Shinagawa at the same time. (Kōhaku = NHK's year-end song contest)

Juice is gonna get bullied by the other groups over this.
106AnonymousAug 29, 2026 23:59
Was "Kurakura" actually first performed on a TV music show? I've seen them on TV so much my memory's gone fuzzy.

They sang it on Music Station. Ishiyama covered Hayashi's part since she couldn't make it.

Reminded me that Chii-chan was on this show too, before she graduated.

Re: #140
Chii's going to be on it!
166AnonymousAug 30, 2026 00:03
I saw a thread claiming the copy-paste old man (a notorious repeat poster) isn't around today because Angerme's doing a bus tour — is that true?
178AnonymousAug 30, 2026 00:03
Re: #166
He's probably just posting from the hotel lol
179AnonymousAug 30, 2026 00:03
The Year-End Concert's probably got a funeral-like vibe among the Hello! Project members.
200AnonymousAug 30, 2026 00:05
Re: #179
A half-empty house, guaranteed.
180AnonymousAug 30, 2026 00:03
Looks like they've fully joined the ranks of mainstream, best-selling idol groups now.

Re: #180
Tickets are gonna be impossible to get because of this — and you're happy?
204AnonymousAug 30, 2026 00:05
Re: #187
Even if I can't get tickets, I'm satisfied just watching from home.
218AnonymousAug 30, 2026 00:05
Next year's Angerme's turn.
321AnonymousAug 30, 2026 00:16
Re: #218
Angerme's the best! Strongest Angerme!
246AnonymousAug 30, 2026 00:08
If it's pre-recorded, couldn't Niina be on it too?
258AnonymousAug 30, 2026 00:09
Re: #246
They'd just need to pre-record the singing part — that'd work.
341AnonymousAug 30, 2026 00:19
Now I just need NHK to book them as a guest on Nodo Jiman before Kōhaku.
361AnonymousAug 30, 2026 00:21
Re: #341
They probably got the offer because "Kurakura" went viral after that recent Nodo Jiman appearance.
422AnonymousAug 30, 2026 00:28
Did Nodo Jiman drop the live band? That was the part I actually looked forward to.
462AnonymousAug 30, 2026 00:32
Re: #422
Really? So it's karaoke tracks now?
443AnonymousAug 30, 2026 00:30
Even Noimii gets booked on Music Fair — why hasn't Juice=Juice gotten an offer? (Noimii = a Hello! Project group's nickname)
480AnonymousAug 30, 2026 00:46
Re: #443
They were even on it back in the "Hito Sore" era (an earlier single cycle). Actually, they might just be too busy to appear now.
466AnonymousAug 30, 2026 00:35
I want a new single, but there's probably no time to prepare one, let alone run promo campaigns or events — they're just too busy.
470AnonymousAug 30, 2026 00:39
Re: #466
They said they haven't even finished learning the choreography for "Girameki" yet.
472AnonymousAug 30, 2026 00:39
It's not even the full version. I want to see the "overlapping fingertips" part!
487AnonymousAug 30, 2026 00:50
Wish they'd done "Kurakura" on CDTV too.
491AnonymousAug 30, 2026 00:51
Re: #487
My guess is they'll get invited again — if "Kurakura" gets performed on other networks, CDTV will follow suit.
490AnonymousAug 30, 2026 00:51
The real question now is whether they can stay established enough to land a TV slot every time they drop a new single.
492AnonymousAug 30, 2026 00:52
Re: #490
That comes down to the agency's pull.
496AnonymousAug 30, 2026 00:57
Yeah, exactly. It's just one track off an EP, but letting Kohmi Hirose handle it was clearly the right call.
506AnonymousAug 30, 2026 01:00
Re: #496
If it'd been a single, it would've flopped hard following the momentum of the last release — and the other B-side would've been that garbage Takui song anyway.

Background and Talking Points

As commenters in the thread noted, “Kurakura☆Climax” is an EP track, not a single’s title song. Several credited its warm reception to composer/arranger Kohmi Hirose, with some suggesting that had it been released as a single instead, it might have lost the momentum of the group’s previous release and underperformed. On the subject of TV appearances, some posters speculated that groups affiliated with King Records versus those under Sony may have different levels of access to music shows — but this remains speculation about label clout rather than a confirmed fact. Likewise, the comment declaring “Kōhaku is a lock” reflects wishful thinking, not an official announcement. Whether NHK’s “Nodo Jiman” still features a live band was also left unresolved in the thread and should be treated as unverified.

This article was compiled from excerpts and a summary of the 5ch (Hello! Project) thread “Juice=Juice to Appear on NHK’s Venue101 Airing 9/5, Will Perform “Kurakura☆Climax”.”
