The story
A new installment of Juice=Juice’s popular “King Contest” series, “The 1st Kudo Yume King Contest,” has been released on YouTube. The four respondents — Dambara Ruru, Ishiyama Sakura, Endo Akari, and Kawashima Mifuu — compete to show how well they know fellow member Kudo Yume. On 5ch’s Hello! Project board, fans expressed delight that the series has returned and reacted to the contestants’ “I’m winning this crown for sure” determination, while others noted with regret that Reirei and Riai were absent from the shoot.
What people said
This time it's the "Kudo Yume King Contest"!
The respondents are four members: Dambara Ruru, Ishiyama Sakura, Endo Akari, and Kawashima Mifuu.
And of course, the key to victory is the octopus!? (Yume's nickname is "Tako," meaning octopus)
Try the quiz along with them and enjoy!
I always thought they were cute, but Gotō Hana's profile and gaze, her powerful voice, the way she varies the movement of her neck, even her fingertips — it's all just too good, and now I really want to go see ANGERME live too 🥹

Hey agency, if you're watching, make sure to add it without forgetting.
Write that properly in the YouTube comments.
If you post it here, it'll give away that they're watching Ōkami (the Hello! Project fan board), so nobody's doing that.
Heard Riai had another job that day.
Hard to tell since she's not a member who changes her hairstyle much.
If Arisawa or Matsunaga were there, we could've told.
At the end, the octopus decoration on Tako-chan's head goes flying off
Background and talking points
“King Contest” is a recurring Juice=Juice segment where members compete in a quiz to show how well they understand one specific member. As reactions like “Wait, this series is still going?” and “I figured they were too busy to keep this segment alive anymore” suggest, the thread was struck by surprise that a long-dormant series had returned. With Kudo Yume as this round’s subject, fans also speculated about which of the remaining members might be featured next. Alongside comments lamenting the absence of members who didn’t take part in the shoot, some posts branched off into talk about a video from sister group ANGERME — a cross-group perspective typical of Hello! Project fan threads.
