DECA!BEAT Dance Video Drops, Fans React to Positioning — 5ch: “This Is Exactly It”

Written by

UP-FRONT Channel has released a dance practice video for DECA!BEAT’s “Wacha☆Future.” On 5ch’s Hello! Project board, members’ formation positions and choreography became a hot topic, with opinions split over Ebata getting “buried” in the background and how Goto Hana was used.

There was also some sarcastic back-and-forth about the video that was originally only supposed to be released once a mission was completed.

Come to think of it, whatever happened to that video that was supposed to unlock once the mission was cleared?
7Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 21:05:43.72
On the flip side — if the mission hadn't been cleared,
were they seriously not going to release it after going through all the trouble of filming it?

They'll show us this, then act like a video that "doesn't exist" was never something they failed to release.
9Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 21:06:04.41
Gotta keep showing you're motivated, I guess.
11Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 21:06:46.17
Wait, does that mean we get to see the bowlegged dance too? ("gani-mata," a duck-walk-style move)
I'm watching Hello! Lab on TVer right now, I'll check it out next.

When Ebata stands center, it's such a "yeah, this is it" feeling.
15Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 21:12:46.42
Choreography at this level should be a breeze for the current members.
17Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 21:13:33.94
Ebata's the one getting buried the most here.
Even more buried than she was in Juice=Juice.
18Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 21:13:42.79
Choreographer Makita Sayako is nice and easy to follow.
20Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 21:16:14.41
Ebaru isn't really standing out that much.
Though her look in the MV turned out amazing.
25Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 21:19:27.28
Ebata really is just background filler.
If it were Kawashima, it wouldn't have turned out like this.
52Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 21:48:20.48
>>25
Huh? Kawashima wasn't picked, though?
The one who got picked was Ebata.
26Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 21:23:24.12
Obviously, "Ketsuron kara Itte Chōdai" on Hello! Station had more of an all-star feel.
In DECA!BEAT, it's not that Ebata is background filler — it's that everyone else just has an unusually strong presence.
27Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 21:25:16.41
If she's relatively less distinctive and has a weaker presence, isn't that basically the definition of "background filler"…
28Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 21:25:32.46
I feel like Eba works as a nice accent in Juice=Juice, though.
Maybe it's because she's got such a strong image of squealing around with the younger members.
31Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 21:27:53.24
So this is a team built around the "Kirara" roster, huh.
32Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 21:28:03.02
Wait, was Homatan even in this?
41Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 21:43:27.89
Goto's clearly a talent suited for outside work.
But if she wants a long career, she'll also need to build a solid fanbase within the Hello! Project scene.
This is probably a transitional phase where there's a lot to figure out.
43Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 21:44:54.58
Kamirena is small and cute.
Yumigeta stands out more than you'd expect.
45Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 21:45:38.74
I thought Okamura was kind of plain, but seeing her like this, she's got pretty well-balanced stats.
46Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 21:46:18.11
Makes me imagine what Kamirena would've been like in a world where she'd joined an existing group as its youngest member —
and that's not a bad thing to picture.
47Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 21:46:33.66
Miimi's slit was actually pretty great.
Didn't notice it in person.
49Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 21:47:21.89
Sugiyama's the BEYOOOOONDS slot, Suzuki's the Morning Musume slot.
51Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 21:47:59.71

Yumigeta, who loves Decarbo, is gonna cry.

Is it just me, or does Yokaze look like she's having more fun over here?
59Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 21:51:21.34
>>57
They've pretty blatantly lined up the next generation's main players, so she's probably feeling good about it.
Plus she got to team up with Eba.
62Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 21:51:38.96

Not just that Ebata's in it — compared to her own group, there are simply more members close to her age here to begin with.
58Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 21:50:28.28
Looking at this, Goto's visuals and performance are on par with any other group's ace,
so why can't ANGERME make good use of her?
63Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 21:52:24.55
>>58
Because it's the "Ise hell" (fan shorthand for ANGERME's Ise-dominated dynamic).
