A TikTok video posted by ANGERME, a Hello! Project group, suddenly became unviewable just as it was starting to go viral — sparking discussion on 5ch’s Hello! Project board. Thread posters offered testimony that the comment section had been flooded with sexual content, speculated that TikTok’s AI moderation may have taken it down, or that the agency itself may have quietly made it private, though no one could pin down the actual cause. Some also compared it to Juice=Juice, whose similarly choreography-focused video had racked up views in the past, making the contrast between the two groups’ fortunes a central point of discussion.

Can't they just close the comments or something?
4AnonymousSep 4, 2026 15:18
Turns out ANGERME naturally gets fewer views than Rosy, huh.
5AnonymousSep 4, 2026 15:18
The video's been taken down lolololol
6AnonymousSep 4, 2026 15:18
What's even the point of ANGERME at this stage?
8AnonymousSep 4, 2026 15:19
Even their one shot at going viral gets mowed down by the agency — that's ANGERME for you.
10AnonymousSep 4, 2026 15:20
ANGERME got flagged as "selling sex appeal" and deleted
11AnonymousSep 4, 2026 15:20
Juice=Juice sold on sex appeal too, so why…?
14AnonymousSep 4, 2026 15:20
It's not like people go "amazing!" just because someone's shaking their butt.
Their photo-op shots get lewd comments too, but there are plenty of other comments mixed in so it gets buried.
16AnonymousSep 4, 2026 15:21
Got flagged as harmful sexual content lolololol
18AnonymousSep 4, 2026 15:21
There are regular accounts out there selling way more sex appeal that are still up — why is that fine?
21AnonymousSep 4, 2026 15:21
Juice=Juice kept covering their crotch and rebranded it as the "leg-raise dance," but they stuck with it and grew their numbers anyway.

Re: #21
Honestly, morons like this are part of what makes this whole saga so entertaining lol
22AnonymousSep 4, 2026 15:21
If the agency deleted it themselves, well, they should've known the comments would turn out like this, so why post it in the first place — but if it was TikTok's own moderation that took it down, that's kind of funny.
23AnonymousSep 4, 2026 15:22
Apparently cleavage alone gets you banned, so a butt-shaking courtship dance is gonna be a tough sell.
35AnonymousSep 4, 2026 15:25
Re: #23
Even birds do courtship dances
So this is beneath birds now?
24AnonymousSep 4, 2026 15:22
What were the comments even like?

Re: #27
The fact that comments like these show up means the algorithm's pushing it out as an "ero" (sexual-content) video.
26AnonymousSep 4, 2026 15:22
Juice=Juice's leg-raise dance got featured on NHK, that's how big it got.
29AnonymousSep 4, 2026 15:23
I'm worried this might get to Hanana (a member's nickname) — the video was finally about to blow up and now it's gone.
30AnonymousSep 4, 2026 15:23
This is just how it always goes for ANGERME 😭
40AnonymousSep 4, 2026 15:26
Sometimes the AI just deletes stuff on its own
and if the agency complains, it can come back.
But if they took it down themselves, that's a yellow card.
42AnonymousSep 4, 2026 15:26
So Juice=Juice got a pass because the song actually sold, basically.
82AnonymousSep 4, 2026 15:35
It wasn't just a few bad ones in there — most of the comments were straight-up lewd.
And the ones that weren't were just people expressing confusion.
111AnonymousSep 4, 2026 15:39
Re: #82
Lol, the non-lewd comments were getting treated like they were being pretentious
Couldn't they have just handled it by deleting the comments?

Re: #126
If comments like that just keep piling up, someone has to keep watching it around the clock.
Background and Key Points
TikTok is known to automatically hide posts or comment sections it judges to be sexual in nature, and there are reported cases where such takedowns get reversed once the talent agency files a complaint. In this case, opinions in the thread are split on whether the video’s disappearance was due to TikTok’s own AI moderation or a voluntary takedown by the agency, and nothing in the thread definitively settles it either way. The discussion also draws a contrast with Juice=Juice’s “leg-raise dance,” which became popular enough to be featured on NHK, against this ANGERME video’s comment section reportedly being flooded with sexual content — framed as a tale of two groups’ contrasting fortunes. Worth noting, though: all of this comes from secondhand accounts on 5ch, and none of it has been confirmed by primary sources.
