Amazon Music presents "Otobuzz #2"

Spare me the fanfic about them landing this on merit
The agency could just turn the offer down if that were true
It's because the offer came from Amazon's side

"Amazon Music presents Otobuzz" is a six-episode music variety show hosted by Chocolate Planet and Kitayama Hiroshi. Each episode brings together artists spanning different generations and genres for talk segments and live performances. The show also follows Chocolate Planet as they take on writing an original song — Osada Shohei and Matsuo Shun pick up tips and advice from their guests along the way, then perform the finished track in the final episode, Episode 6. The first episode features three guests: KO1KEYZ, Kobukuro, and ≠ME.
That's literally Juice=Juice Day (2-9 can be read as a pun on "juice")
Someone's salty, lol

Otherwise the ones getting booked on Eight-Jam would've been Stardust acts like Tokisen (Tokimeki Sendenbu), you know
Same logic applies here
Background and Talking Points
“Otobuzz” is an original music variety show produced by Amazon Music, exclusive to Prime Video, with its six-episode run kicking off on October 22, 2026. The two members of Chocolate Planet and Kitayama Hiroshi serve as hosts, working with each episode’s guests to build an original song that gets completed by the finale. The first episode’s guests were KO1KEYZ, Kobukuro, and ≠ME, and Episode 2 has now been set with Juice=Juice, HY, and SWEET STEADY. What split the thread was whether Juice=Juice’s booking came down to the group’s own standing, or simply an offer from Amazon’s side. The October 29 air date also became a talking point among fans, since “29” can be read as a pun on “juice” (goroawase), giving it a second meaning as “Juice Day.” The fact that watching Prime Video’s shows doesn’t require an actual Prime membership — just an Amazon account — also came up, particularly in relation to viewers who already subscribe to Hulu.
