Juice=Juice scores 4th #1 on CDTV, but ratings are dead last for the timeslot — 5ch: “At least admit the V-shaped comeback”

From our other sites

The story

On 5ch’s Hello! Project board, a breaking-news thread went up after Juice=Juice scored its 4th No. 1 on the music show “CDTV Live! Live!”. While cheers went up, someone posted that the show’s real-time ratings came in at 4.4%, dead last among all networks in that timeslot, and the thread instantly turned into a ratings debate. Posters even dragged up other music shows’ low ratings from this year, splitting over whether Juice=Juice’s appearance actually propped the numbers up or dragged them down.

Re: #30
When AKB opened the show it dragged ratings down to 3.2%, so this is actually a solid showing

Re: #30
Oof…
TV networks are brutal about this kind of thing…
41AnonymousAug 31, 2026 19:32
So it flopped because opener Juice=Juice tanked it?

Re: #41
They weren't the opener

Re: #41

Re: #67
Lol, the ratings are creeping up bit by bit
Don't forget to throw in the Kohaku ratings too while you're at it lol
83AnonymousAug 31, 2026 19:47
Re: #67
That's not even a regular episode of Music Station, redo the numbers
77AnonymousAug 31, 2026 19:45
Re: #69
Exactly
Some idiot agency is probably dumping its entire "agency slot" allocation onto Juice=Juice
The networks must be furious over these repeated low ratings
Forget Juice=Juice, this could cost the whole agency its slot
80AnonymousAug 31, 2026 19:46
Re: #77
[Good News] Turns out CDTV and Music Station really do have "agency slots" after all!
94AnonymousAug 31, 2026 19:50
Re: #77
"Agency slots" lol
where's that even a real thing lol
84AnonymousAug 31, 2026 19:47
Why doesn't Morning Musume。'26 ever get booked? They've even got a new single out.

Guess you need actual results to show for it

I always figured the guy who's constantly trolling Juice=Juice threads was a Hello! Project hater posing as an Angerme fan, but… is he actually a genuine trashy Angerme fan?
89AnonymousAug 31, 2026 19:49
Re: #86
I like Angerme too, and this guy dragging Angerme's name through the mud is a genuine nuisance
93AnonymousAug 31, 2026 19:50
Re: #86
That's just some trashy Juice=Juice fan replying to himself
91AnonymousAug 31, 2026 19:49
Why wasn't there any fire effects in the staging this time?
95AnonymousAug 31, 2026 19:51
Re: #91
Either they've used it too many times already, or maybe they held back out of consideration for the recent fire news
119AnonymousAug 31, 2026 20:00
But this is just going to make tour tickets even harder to get again
I hate that — going viral like this isn't all good news, you know?
122AnonymousAug 31, 2026 20:02
Re: #119
Next spring's tour is at live houses, so it'll be even harder to score tickets

Nobody cares about lip-synced bon-odori dancing anymore (bon-odori = traditional festival folk dance, used here as a dig at the choreography)
128AnonymousAug 31, 2026 20:07
Re: #125
Exactly
Juice=Juice is done for lol
129AnonymousAug 31, 2026 20:08
See? As long as Mippuru's around, Juice=Juice keeps winning (Mippuru = a member's nickname)
Bet they get booked again next month, maybe on "Kura Kura" next time

Background and Key Points of This Discussion

“CDTV Live! Live!” is a music special aired on TBS, and according to an image posted in the thread, this episode’s timeslot ratings came in at 4.4%. Commenters also listed ratings for other music shows broadcast this year, including Music Station, STAR, Venue101, and Buzz Rhythm, with uniformly low numbers across the board. That said, these figures come from images posted within the thread, so they may differ in wording from official figures released by networks or ratings agencies — worth keeping in mind. The debate centered on whether Juice=Juice’s appearance pushed the ratings up or dragged them down, with posters split between those claiming the group opened the show and those disputing it. Talk of an “agency slot” system determining show bookings was pure 5ch speculation with no supporting evidence given. There were also exchanges resembling a support rivalry between different Hello! Project group fandoms, occasionally escalating into arguments with fans of other groups.
