The story
A free livestream has been confirmed for the stage featuring Juice=Juice at “IRC 2026 A/W,” an event that combines idols with a fashion show. Watching requires signing up through a dedicated app, and on 5ch, complaints about the hassle mixed with comments like “all I had to do was link my Google account.” A timetable was also shared, with the live performance expected around 12:20 PM and the runway show around 2:45 PM. Meanwhile, word that “there’s no archive” was also circulating, making whether fans could actually catch it live that day the main point of discussion.

What people said
Yeah, true
Guess it's an offshore company after all
Your info might go overseas, but don't worry about it
It'll end up on YouTube ("tsube", forum slang for it) or somewhere later anyway
If I actually manage to wake up, that is👍
That's the fashion show part
Wonder if Ebata's friend Yamano's in this one
Context and Key Points of This Discussion
“IRC” is a hybrid event pairing idols with a fashion show, apparently structured so runway appearances and live performance segments alternate. What sparked discussion this time was the requirement to register through a dedicated app just to watch, with complaints in the thread like “stop making us register for every little thing” sitting right alongside accounts like “all I had to do was link my Google account” — even the posters in the thread don’t agree on how much of a hassle it actually is. The comment “your info might go overseas, but don’t worry about it” touches on how the registration data is handled, but no source was cited to back it up, so it’s more reasonable to read it as a joke poking at that anxiety than as a statement of fact. Likewise, the claim that “there’s no archive” can’t be confirmed from any primary source, and the number of posts banking on a fallback plan (waiting for it to surface on YouTube or elsewhere later) in case they missed the live broadcast suggests the event’s official streaming policy hasn’t been fully communicated to fans.
