The story
Morning Musume。’26’s Miki Nonaka has released a self-introduction video called “Oshi-katsu Class” on YouTube, aimed at new fans. The video introduces members from the 11th, 12th, 15th, and 16th generations one by one, aiming to show a side of them beyond their official profiles. But on 5ch’s live-discussion thread, commenters kept pointing out that the audio and video were out of sync. The video’s 37-minute runtime, along with its release timing — the same day as a Hello! Project livestream — also split opinion, with reactions focused more on production quality than on the content itself.

Morning Musume。'26 — a project pitched by Miki Nonaka herself!
For everyone who's recently gotten into Morning Musume。, member Miki Nonaka personally breaks down how to be a Morning Musume。fan (oshi-katsu)!
This time it's the "Member Introduction Edition," going through the Morning Musume。'26 members one by one in detail.
It's not just official profile info…
Since she's a member who's always with them, she digs into the personal side that only someone that close would know.
Part 1 covers the 11th, 12th, 15th, and 16th generation members.

Split it into groups like:

Okamura/Yamazaki
Sakurai/Inoue/Yugeta
Yasuda/Sugihara
Suzuki/Ishikawa
or something like that
Way too obvious.
Way too obvious.
Kind of telling that Juice=Juice is the only thing you can brag about.
Way too obvious.
it feels like watching a corporate presentation, boring.
Aren't you supposed to be an idol?
Guess they gotta re-upload this one lol
The one where Makino specifically redrew it as a rabbit?
You'd normally check that before uploading, right?
There's no way you wouldn't notice audio sync being this bad.

Apparently they can't get permission for that.
It'd be easier to poach fans from other groups if you're already a Hello! Project fan,
so upload it tomorrow instead —
the old folks are asleep watching Hallo Station right now.
Yeah, the 18th gen's Instagram has no sense of style either.
Not Instagram, TikTok.
I like how they draw the panda.
Background and Talking Points
This video is one entry in the “Oshi-katsu Class” series, a project pitched by Morning Musume。’26’s Miki Nonaka, aimed at introducing new fans to the personalities of the current members. What divided opinion in the thread wasn’t the content of the project itself, but its production quality. Multiple commenters pointed out that the audio and video were out of sync, while the 37-minute runtime drew a mix of “please split it into smaller parts” requests and “if you split it up, no one will watch the later parts” pushback — no clear consensus emerged. Comparisons to a Juice=Juice video (also under the Hello! Project umbrella) came up often, though nothing in the thread actually compares the two videos’ view counts. There were few concrete comments about the video’s actual content, and true to a live-discussion thread posted right after release, the reactions centered mainly on production issues.
