The story
It’s been announced that AI, Aimyon, EBiDAN, Sakurazaka46, sumika, Naniwa Danshi, and RADWIMPS will appear on TV Asahi’s “Music Station” airing October 16. It will be EBiDAN’s first appearance on the show, where they’ll perform “Yes! Tokyo,” whose music video has surpassed 100 million views. On the 5ch Entertainment & Sports News+ board, posters repeatedly pointed out that M!LK’s members — despite the song being their signature hit — won’t be appearing, alongside discussion of Aimyon’s shifting popularity and a generational shift among the male idol acts on the bill.

What people said
I want to see more and more boy groups coming through
So why isn't he showing up?
Ever since my favorite stopped appearing on it
Man, Aimyon's really fizzled out fast as an artist
✕ 'nai na'
○ 'nai ka'
Re: #17
Nah, that's wrong, it's Kisugi Takao
You've still got a lot to learn
Guess the TV stations haven't learned a thing
You're the one who can't let go of Johnny's
The agency doesn't even exist anymore
Quit getting in the way of guys who are working hard at their new agencies
That's a stacked episode right there
Looking at EBiDAN's picked lineup, a lot of them are around 20 or still teens — maybe that's the strategy
A few are even current high schoolers
M!LK not showing up for 'Yes! Tokyo' is just the usual thing by now
Chosokyu's in there too, so it's hardly just some idle lower-tier group
It's like a full-course meal with no main dish
Aren't they all too young to perform (Japan restricts minors from TV appearances past certain hours)?
Rienel and Ii Ondo probably can't make it, yeah
M!LK will probably show up in the year-end music specials though, I'd guess
Yeah, it's been on the charts this whole time
If they'd booked it for a time when M!LK was appearing, they could've had Sano on vocals
Why is M!LK missing every single time?
Is it a pay thing?
Probably just busy
The one exception was 'Ongaku no Hi,' the summer special — M!LK was there for that one
The ones who actually sing it should be the ones showing up
'Busy' isn't a real excuse
The fact that the full lineup only happened once, on a jam-packed day of music shows, is laughably half-assed
Rienel
The high-school duo — their name's already right there in Re: #1
Rienel seems like they're gonna blow up
Watched them on CDTV and really liked them
Their performance as the little brother in 'Downtime' was great too
They had a band on recently but it killed the vibe on TV, so now it's like 'yeah, let's not book them again'
They're not even selling well anyway
Wasn't 'Ongaku no Hi' not the full lineup though?
Someone was out sick, but otherwise it was full
All the vocalists were there
So Sakurazaka ranks below Hinatazaka, huh
Background and Key Points of This Discussion
EBiDAN is a joint unit bringing together male members from several different groups, and its lineup shifts from song to song — so whether M!LK, the group most closely tied to “Yes! Tokyo,” would actually show up this time was something posters had been watching for even before the thread got going. The fact that the same complaint keeps resurfacing suggests it’s a familiar sore spot among fans. Some posts also looked back on how “Music Station” was long centered on the former Johnny’s talent agency, but since the lineup varies broadcast to broadcast, it would be premature to read a single episode’s cast as proof of an industry-wide shift. It’s also worth noting that the “fan count ranking” image mentioned in the thread has no clear source, so the accuracy of its numbers can’t be confirmed.
