Juice=Juice has announced it will hold a solo concert in Taipei on December 6, 2026, titled “Juice=Juice Room Tour 2026 ‘Wing 5ROOMS-TAIPEI ANNEX-‘.” Details on the venue and ticketing have yet to be announced, with a long-established local promoter handling the event. On 5ch’s Hello! Project board, users pointed out that Hong Kong — once a regular stop — has become difficult to book due to worsening relations with China, and drew comparisons to the canceled Vladivostok concert. Other threads of discussion included frustration that no Sapporo show was planned despite the group having two members from Hokkaido, as well as debate over the group’s overall drawing power.

Did Matsunaga's request to the chief manager to let her go overseas actually get through?
6AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:06
Does this count as one of the 'rooms'?
15AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:08
Speaking of Taiwan, the U18 Japan national baseball team is over there right now.
16AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:08
Lol, they've got two Hokkaido natives in the group but stubbornly refuse to do a Sapporo show.
17AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:09
Wasn't it last year when Juice=Juice went to Taiwan and Makino was the only one wearing a Nippon-Ham Fighters jersey for some reason? She stuck out like a sore thumb.

Re: #17
Clueless. Don't you know Yang Dai-Kang, Taiwan's national baseball hero? (a Taiwanese-born former Nippon-Ham Fighters star, hugely popular back home)

I was hoping for K Arena, but isn't this going to end with just one more overseas date?
Isn't Korea usually the one paired with Taiwan on these trips?
20AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:12
Re: #18
No, I think it's Hong Kong.
21AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:12
It used to be a Hong Kong-plus-Taipei set, but Hong Kong's off the table now.
38AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:14
Re: #21
Yeah, there's basically a ban on Japanese songs there now.
53AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:15
Re: #21
But Ocha Norma went to Hong Kong — so it's really not possible anymore?
Is this because of worsening relations with China?
25AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:13
Feels like it might be a fairly big venue — they specifically brought in a long-established local promoter.
30AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:13
I wonder what's already scheduled for the weekends in November.

Is it unusual for a regular tour to include an overseas stop like this?
59AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:16
They're not going to take the risk of doing a show in Hong Kong on purpose.
66AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:16
Taipei isn't unrelated to Moremi's recent breakout in popularity. ("Moremi" — fan nickname for a member)
79AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:17
No no, it's Taipei, not Korea!☝☝☝
87AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:18
Tsubaki Factory went to Shanghai before, but surely visas wouldn't be granted these days?
92AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:19
5ROOMS
• Tour
• Budokan
• PIA Arena
• Taipei
What's the fifth one?
104AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:20
Re: #92
The tour hits 10 locations — why does that only count as one?
107AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:21
Re: #104
It's the name of the concert series.
145AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:30
Re: #104
That's embarrassing.
102AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:20
Hello! Project never goes to Korea, huh.
You occasionally see fans lamenting about it on X (Twitter).
103AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:20
Did they copy this because 'Kyusuto' got popular in Korea? (likely a nickname for another group/artist)
108AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:22
Re: #103
That's just a dig at =LOVE (using the mocking nickname "Ikokasu").
106AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:21
Taiwan is seriously into idols, so I think this is a good move.
109AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:23
Re: #108
Oh right, they did mention that.
Though it never turned into a positive topic at all.
111AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:24
Leaving out Hokkaido right when Moremi's popularity is hitting a new peak is quite a choice.
112AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:24
Thailand's pro-Japan too and has idol culture, so that could work as well.
116AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:25
I wish Japan's big venues would be on Sundays too (´；ω；｀)
118AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:25
Re: #116
A Sunday Budokan show is a disadvantage, so it can't be helped.
151AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:31
They did go viral, so it's odd they keep doing the same thing every time.
217AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:41
Re: #151
That's because they haven't actually gone viral.
When it comes to drawing power, Angerme is way ahead.
172AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:35
Re: #10
Will the 'omaitsu' (fans who attend every single show) manage to complete the whole tour?
257AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:47
Re: #172
Even die-hard 'omaitsu' are hitting a wall of lottery losses, so completing every show isn't realistic this time — not unless you're buying up scalped tickets at inflated prices.
195AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:38
When are they going to reschedule that canceled Vladivostok concert?
227AnonymousSep 9, 2026 13:43
Re: #195
Japan-Russia relations have soured, so that's never happening.
Background and Key Points of This Discussion
Hello! Project previously held numerous solo concerts across East Asia, including in Hong Kong and Shanghai, but Hong Kong shows have become difficult in recent years due to worsening relations with China and restrictions on Japanese music there, and the Vladivostok concert was also canceled. This Taipei concert fills that gap in overseas shows, and the fact that a long-established local promoter has been brought on board led thread users to speculate that a relatively large venue is planned. At the same time, some questioned whether Taipei should really count as one of the ‘5ROOMS’ shows, and others pointed out that Angerme still draws bigger crowds, leaving opinion split on how much the group’s popularity has actually grown. Frustration also remains strong over the lack of a Sapporo date despite the group having two members from Hokkaido.
