Yukarin's back (idol nickname)
11AnonymousOct 8, 2026 13:11
The T-shirt has every generation's Tsubaki member on it…
that's gonna make me cry
12AnonymousOct 8, 2026 13:14
Is that camellia pouch a ready-made product?
13AnonymousOct 8, 2026 13:17
Looks like she's about to sing "Tanpopo" (lit. "dandelion")
14AnonymousOct 8, 2026 13:26
The retro, classy outfit is adorable
not going overboard with frills shows she really knows how to present herself
15AnonymousOct 8, 2026 13:31
Whoa, what is this.
It's actually really well put together.
17AnonymousOct 8, 2026 13:34
Give her a mini skirt like Moritaka's (Moritaka Chisato, '90s singer famous for her song "Mini Skirt")
18AnonymousOct 8, 2026 13:35
It's good precisely because it's not a mini skirt
19AnonymousOct 8, 2026 13:36
The mouth on that emoji looks just like Sayashi's (Sayashi Riho, former Morning Musume member) — cute
23AnonymousOct 8, 2026 13:42
Re: #19
Isn't that Maihaman? (member nickname)
20AnonymousOct 8, 2026 13:36
So mini skirts and swimsuits are off the table for a while, huh
21AnonymousOct 8, 2026 13:40
My lead — built on getting noticed at the first solo meet-and-greets — is unshakable
24AnonymousOct 8, 2026 13:46
Impressive how close it is to the illustration's vibe
25AnonymousOct 8, 2026 13:46
Maihaman's gotta be lol
26AnonymousOct 8, 2026 13:46
Guess that's about right for a first round
27AnonymousOct 8, 2026 13:47
Having every generation of Tsubaki member gathered on the T-shirt illustration is such a nice touch

Knowing King (member nickname), there's probably some Hello! Project reference hidden in the outfit
38AnonymousOct 8, 2026 13:58
King is the one carrying on the entire history of Tsubaki
40AnonymousOct 8, 2026 14:01
Even her self-portrait went from no bangs to having bangs — such attention to detail
41AnonymousOct 8, 2026 14:02
The pouch shaped like a camellia flower on the outfit is great
42AnonymousOct 8, 2026 14:03
She's an otaku herself, so she knows exactly what makes you guys tick
43AnonymousOct 8, 2026 14:06
Her face is small and her whole silhouette is sharp,
so even in just a hat and a simple oversized dress, that pretty-girl aura is incredible
50AnonymousOct 8, 2026 14:20
The outfit from the BP event had great taste too
51AnonymousOct 8, 2026 14:21
Might just go ahead and order the acrylic stand.
52AnonymousOct 8, 2026 14:23
Can't tell it apart from mustard, so they should've just made it lemon yellow.
Or better yet, let's just get orange or red
54AnonymousOct 8, 2026 14:26
Wasn't Lesser (member nickname) supposed to be the MC?

I want her to sing "Uruwashi no Camellia" ("Beautiful Camellia") in this outfit
66AnonymousOct 8, 2026 15:02
Making the flowers bigger for the past leaders is such a nice touch

Background and Talking Points

It’s become customary for Hello! Project’s flagship events to hold a “Birthday Event” timed to each member’s birthday, selling original goods by mail order exclusively to fan club members. The ordering window is typically short, around three weeks, and shipping often doesn’t happen until a few months later — this time too, orders close on October 30 with delivery expected in early December. On the thread, comments centered mainly on positive impressions of the costume and the T-shirt’s illustration design, though some also compared it to past costumes, such as skirt length, showing just how much interest there is in each member’s costume trends. The venue is Starlight Theater, formerly known as “Hikosen (Airship) Theater,” and the second round of ticket acceptance also announced that Hayashi Nina (Juice=Juice) would appear as MC, drawing attention to this cross-group collaboration.
