The story
NHK General TV’s music program “Venue101” will air a special on September 5 at 11:00 PM featuring behind-the-scenes cameras at summer music festivals. The preview highlights footage of Juice=Juice at LuckyFes, including a quiz segment revealing their tricks for keeping their look flawless even after wrapping a live stage performance. On 5ch’s Hello! Project board, posters expressed surprise that “it’s rare for NHK to get this much access,” while others brought up the long-running fan theory that landing a Venue101 feature is a sign of an upcoming appearance on NHK’s Kohaku Uta Gassen (the year-end Red and White Song Battle). Meanwhile, fans of other groups who performed at the same festival voiced disappointment that their favorites didn’t get the same close-up treatment.

Background and Key Points of This Discussion
“Venue101” is an NHK General TV music program airing late night on Saturdays, known for combining behind-the-scenes artist coverage with live performances. Because artists previously featured on the show have gone on to appear on NHK’s Kohaku Uta Gassen (the Red and White Song Battle) that same year, Hello! Project fans have long treated a Venue101 feature as an informal sign of a coming Kohaku selection. That said, this is purely fan folklore — NHK has never stated it as an official selection criterion. Other Hello! Project groups also performed at LuckyFes, but this round of NHK’s close-up coverage appears to have centered on Juice=Juice, and reactions in the thread ranged from excitement to a bit of envy over how the subjects of the coverage were chosen.
