The story
It’s been announced that idol group Juice=Juice will launch a regular program, ‘Juice=Juice Juicy Talk,’ on Nippon Broadcasting System (Nippon Hoso) starting October 4, 2026, airing every Sunday from 9:00 to 9:30 PM. All members will serve as on-air personalities, and a listener email address has also been made public. Reactions poured in immediately on 5ch’s Hello! Project board — some worried the slot would get bumped by Sunday night baseball broadcasts, while jokes mixing up ‘Radio Nippon’ and ‘Nippon Broadcasting System’ (two separate, similarly-named stations) flew back and forth. At the same time, many posts celebrated the group finally landing a long-awaited regular radio slot, and others fondly recalled the group’s earlier flagship show ‘We are Juice=Juice.’

Sunday games are day games (so no overlap, don't worry)
we're talking about THE Nippon Broadcasting System
That's a whole different league lol
Guess their All Night Nippon run paid off after all
All that exists is Radio Nippon
That reminds me of Hama-chan slurping down hiyashi chuka (cold ramen noodles) live on air lol
Can't remember which one now
That's bayfm — it was a segment inside a show that started at 2 AM
It doesn't even show up under any day of the week anymore
Same here
Haven't deleted mine either
Feels like the memories would vanish along with it
That's not fair!
Name one time she actually got 'worked up' about something
For me it was 'Koi wa Choppiri'
Even if it only lasts six months, having a regular show at all goes down in history
04:00 Riua Matsunaga — TBS Radio 'Music Palette♪' segment 'Juice=Juice Riua Matsunaga's MIX=Juice' *partner rotates among members each month
20:00 Yuina Kawanishi — Gifu Chan 'Tsubaki Factory's Yuina Kawanishi's YOU&ME MUSIC'
21:00 Juice=Juice — Nippon Broadcasting System 'Juice=Juice Juicy Talk' *first broadcast 10/04👈
21:00 Mao Akiyama & Minami Okamura — MBS Radio 'Nishino Kaze Burando Radio'
23:00 Nanami Kubota — HBC Radio 'OCHA NORMA's Nanami Kubota's Kyururun♡ Radio'
23:30 Ruru Danbara or Riua Matsunaga — Radio Nippon 'BAKUNAI'
24:00 Angerme — Radio Nippon 'Angerme Station 1422'
24:30 Mizuho Ono & Hello! Project Kenshuusei — Radio Nippon 'Hello! SATOYAMA&SATOUMI Club ~Next~'
Same timeslot as the Burando show, huh
Figured Arisawa would step in once Akiyama graduates, but doesn't look like it
Background and Key Points of the Discussion
The news here: Juice=Juice will hold a regular program on Nippon Broadcasting System in the Sunday 9 PM slot starting October 4, 2026. Individual members of Hello! Project groups have previously hosted shows on regional and sub-key stations like Radio Nippon, bayfm, nack5, and Gifu Chan, but according to the latest rundown of regular slots shared in the thread, landing a show ‘as a group’ on Nippon Broadcasting System — a Tokyo key station — is seen as a cut above what other Hello! Project acts have managed. Discussion in the thread split mainly into two points: (1) concern that, despite the prime Sunday 9 PM slot, the show could get bumped by baseball broadcasts, and (2) a running gag repeatedly mixing up ‘Radio Nippon’ and ‘Nippon Broadcasting System.’ The two are actually separate companies, with the latter being one of the key radio stations based in Tokyo. There were also many references to the group’s earlier flagship show ‘We are Juice=Juice,’ with fans admitting they still can’t bring themselves to remove it from their Radiko favorites — suggesting that the revival of a group radio show had long been a wish among fans.
