Juice=Juice’s song “Moré! Mi Amore” has been making waves on social media, and on 5ch’s Hello! Project board, opinion after opinion pointed to the same cause: Kudo Yua’s opening line. The phrase she belts out right at the start — which some hear as “Hyore-mi-amore” — is said to leave a strong impression precisely because of its shaky edge. One post even cited a TOKYO FM feature ranking where “Moré! Mi Amore” came in second, right behind Momoiro Clover Z’s “Agehachou.” The thread lit up with talk of how crucial that opening line is, plus hopes of seeing the song performed at Kohaku Uta Gassen (Japan’s year-end song contest).

At the end of the day, whether a song goes viral often comes down to the first few seconds.
In that sense, Kudo Yua deserves huge credit for building the doorway into 'Moré Mi.'

The opening line matters a ton — so much that people say it's part of why fewer songs these days even bother with an intro.
3AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:17
Can't picture anyone but Tako-chan (Kudo Yua's nickname) handling that opening line.
4AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:21
Now that you mention it, Tako-chan gets a lot of opening lines.
Same with 'Burabare' and 'Ketsuron Kara' (fan shorthand for other Juice=Juice tracks).

Re: #4
She's shaky, sure, but no other member can send the energy straight to boiling point like that.
5AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:21
On the live broadcast, I swear it sounded like 'Hyore Mi Amore.'
7AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:21
Phew, glad she hasn't flubbed it into 'Hyoremi' yet.
9AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:23
The time has come.
Go be a great leader.

Re: #10
Damn, that's impressive.
11AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:23
Well, of course —
Tako-chan's the one contributing the most.
12AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:25
Classic Taisei (a Hello! Project staffer fans know by this nickname).
14AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:26
The addictive hook of 'Moré Mi' exists because of Tako-chan.
15AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:27
This song only works because of that voice slicing through the air like a crack of lightning.
When Arisawa played it on violin it sounded so gloomy I couldn't even listen.
16AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:28
Some credit goes to Kubo-tan too.
17AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:28
During the recording of 'Kurakura,' they said her voice sounded like a kids'-show TV hostess.
18AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:29
Music Station: 'Some of the finest vocals in all of Hello! Project — Juice=Juice!!'
It's not really about consistency — there's a bit of a gambling thrill to it too, kind of like pachinko (Japan's slot-machine-style pinball games).
21AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:34
It also placed 8th on their 'camera songs' ranking.

Re: #1
Exactly this.
You get it.
23AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:36
Even a total newbie stays hooked for the first five seconds, so no problem.
55AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:42
Re: #23
Five seconds is exactly how long it takes Kudo to finish that line, so it IS important, lol.
56AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:43
If she's at Kohaku, I'll be too nervous to watch it live.
57AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:44
It's good precisely because Tako-chan has that unstable edge.
58AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:44
Feels like she's gotten more consistent and hit even harder lately.
59AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:45
The gacha element (random-chance factor, like a loot-box pull) is what caught on.
60AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:45
I'm counting on you to open the show at Kohaku.
61AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:48
If she flubs it into 'Hyoremi' at Kohaku, NHK might ban Hello! Project for life, lol.
62AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:49
All thanks to Tako-chan.
63AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:49
But honestly, she barely botches that tough opening line — her batting average is pretty high.
70AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:58
Re: #63
If you're on opening-line duty, I need a 1.000 batting average, please.
64AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:50
Tako-chan (*´Д｀)
65AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:52
Apparently there wasn't even supposed to be an opening-line part originally — you never know what'll turn into a blessing.
66AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:52
If we get to see the Tako-chan gacha pull live at Kohaku, the live-tweet thread is gonna go wild, lol.
67AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:54
HYOREMIAMORE!
71AnonymousSep 20, 2026 19:59
Gotta start pinching pennies to pull an SSR (top-tier rare) on the Tako-chan gacha.
72AnonymousSep 20, 2026 20:01
Remember when Rei-rei fumbled it into 'Hyoremi' during 'Tsuzuiteiku Story' at Uemura's graduation concert and gave that awkward laugh?
73AnonymousSep 20, 2026 20:04
Let's put up an octopus statue in front of the talent agency.
74AnonymousSep 20, 2026 20:05
Not many songs open with almost no intro and just launch straight into a killer opening line — I think that's smart differentiation.
Apparently Taisei picked the top two finishers of an in-house 'energy contest' for the line — I'd love to hear every member's recorded take on 'Moré! Mi Amore' to judge for myself.
For what it's worth, I'm also a fan of the second 'Moré!' shout — depending on the performance, that one can hit even harder.
Background and Key Points
“Moré! Mi Amore” is a Juice=Juice song, and its standout feature is the opening line “Hyoremiamore,” sung by Kudo Yua. Note that the TOKYO FM ranking cited in the thread comes from the show’s own original feature, not an official music chart. In evaluating the opening line, most commenters valued its split-second impact over vocal stability, with several posts jokingly comparing how her live performance varies show to show to a ‘gacha’ pull. As for a Kohaku Uta Gassen appearance, those posts are simply wishful thinking — nothing in the thread confirms any lineup or song selection has actually been decided.
