Harami-chan x Hello! Project Collab MV Tops 200,000 Views in Under 24 Hours

The story

Harami-chan, known for her street piano performances, teamed up with Hello! Project on a collaboration music video titled “Moremi” (a pun blending 盛れる, “to look flattering/enhanced,” with her stage name) — and it blew past 200,000 views in under 24 hours. On 5ch’s Hello! Project board, posters marveled at the reach of Harami-chan, who boasts 2.3 million YouTube subscribers, while others pointed out fans from outside the usual fanbase flowing in and praised the agency’s strategy of cross-genre collaborations. At the same time, opinions split over which member contributed the most to the collab, and the discussion widened from the raw view count into a debate over the project’s inner workings.

Isn't Danbara Ruru pretty much enough on her own at this point?

Great naming, pretty clever

Feels like Morning Musume。's about to lose this one (娘 = the group's nickname)
8AnonymousSep 5, 2026 18:14
It's because the original Moremi already caught on that people can enjoy the collab and its arrangements.
Why does that turn into 'Danbara alone would be enough'?
10AnonymousSep 5, 2026 18:17
Is she called Harami-chan because she likes harami (a cut of beef, i.e. skirt steak)?
11AnonymousSep 5, 2026 18:17
It was originally supposed to be mainly a piano/violin/vocal-percussion collab, but Danbara's so dominant it feels like she's stolen the whole show.
12AnonymousSep 5, 2026 18:17
Because she's got 2.3 million subscribers
13AnonymousSep 5, 2026 18:19
It's all thanks to Harami, isn't it
17AnonymousSep 5, 2026 18:20
Even granting it's Harami's pull, it's disappointing that Morning Musume。couldn't top this
37AnonymousSep 5, 2026 18:23
The agency's recent moves have been solid.
Nice effort getting Harami-chan and BanG Dream! noticed by a totally different fanbase

Re: #37
This is so true. You can already spot new fans from that fandom showing up in the X and YouTube comments.

52AnonymousSep 5, 2026 18:33
Yeah, it's the vocal percussion that does it
87AnonymousSep 5, 2026 18:37
Shimachou Vanilla's gonna pull off the comeback

Background and Points of Debate

Harami-chan is a YouTuber known for her street piano performance videos, with roughly 2.3 million subscribers. Hello! Project has recently been pursuing collaborations with popular streamers from outside its usual genre as a way to expand its recognition beyond its traditional fanbase. In the thread, most reactions welcomed the growing view count of this “Moremi” collab as a sign of that strategy paying off, while opinions were split over who originated or contributed most to the collab itself, sparking some disagreement over how to credit specific members. Note that “Vanilla” and “Ebamifu,” mentioned in the thread, appear to refer to other related videos or units released around the same time, and are used there simply as points of comparison for view counts.
