It’s been announced that Hello! Project group BEYOOOOONDS will perform at “LIVE SDD BICYCLE 2027,” the first-ever edition of the event FM Osaka is hosting at Osaka-jo Hall on January 11, 2027. The new campaign calls for eliminating drunk cycling and improving cycling manners, with seven acts taking part including TRF, Anri, and the Gospellers. On the thread, reactions centered on the fact that ANGERME — who perform every year at the drunk-driving (car) version of the event — were missing from this lineup, with confused and frustrated comments like “Where’s ANGERME?” and “Give me back my concert” piling up. Meanwhile, some commenters understood the choice of BEYOOOOONDS, who have a radio show on FM Osaka.
First time ever! “LIVE SDD BICYCLE 2027” calls for an end to drunk cycling
Osaka radio station FM Osaka will hold “LIVE SDD BICYCLE 2027” for the first time on Monday, January 11, 2027 (a national holiday) at Osaka-jo Hall. Seven artists have been confirmed to perform at this event, which sums up the “SDD BICYCLE” initiative calling for an end to drunk cycling and better cycling manners.
“SDD BICYCLE” is a project launched in 2026 to extend to cyclists the message that “SDD – STOP! DRUNK DRIVING PROJECT” has been spreading for roughly 20 years. In Osaka, where bicycles are deeply woven into daily life, the campaign has continued its awareness efforts through broadcasts and events. This marks the project’s first large-scale live event with listener-invitation seating.

Thanks to DJ KOO

Thought Hello! Pro wasn't in this one — turns out they're over here instead
8AnonymousOct 26, 2026 15:04
"LIVE SDD 2027" and "LIVE SDD BICYCLE 2027" are separate events (same organizer, though)
"LIVE SDD 2027" (anti-drunk-driving, cars) is expected to have ANGERME performing as usual
"LIVE SDD BICYCLE 2027" (safe cycling) is the one with BEYOOOOONDS
9AnonymousOct 26, 2026 15:05
ANGERME wasn't there
Are they getting added later or something?
10AnonymousOct 26, 2026 15:05
Guess this is a new festival created because of the updated bicycle traffic laws
11AnonymousOct 26, 2026 15:06
Give me back my ANGERME show!!
12AnonymousOct 26, 2026 15:07
The one BEYOOOOONDS is in is the safe-cycling festival
The one ANGERME does every year is the drunk-driving-by-car one
They're two different events. Got it now?
Yellow bicycles and all — when you say "bicycle," it's Smileage (now ANGERME) that should come to mind
16AnonymousOct 26, 2026 15:08
Do drunk bike-riding accidents even happen?
18AnonymousOct 26, 2026 15:09
Takeuchi's performing at the Jan 10 one

It's Coming-of-Age Day, so I guess ANGERME just passed on this one (many idols attend ceremonies for new adults that day)
21AnonymousOct 26, 2026 15:10
ANGERME… why though
22AnonymousOct 26, 2026 15:10
Isn't ANGERME not even getting called up for the car one this year? That's rough
23AnonymousOct 26, 2026 15:11
Calligrapher Takeuchi's position is safe, at least
24AnonymousOct 26, 2026 15:11
Re: #12
Does that mean ANGERME will be announced later as an additional special guest?
25AnonymousOct 26, 2026 15:11
ANGERME got dropped
26AnonymousOct 26, 2026 15:11
Well, DJ KOO's involved, and he's probably seen them pedaling bikes at Yokohama Arena before, so of course BEYOOOOONDS got the call. Thanks, Koichi Takase
28AnonymousOct 26, 2026 15:12
Put ANGERME in it already! Or I'll end up drinking and riding, dammit!
29AnonymousOct 26, 2026 15:13
Apparently Grandmaster Akari Takeuchi is appearing instead of ANGERME, so just be satisfied with that (Takeuchi holds an actual calligraphy teaching rank)
36AnonymousOct 26, 2026 15:16
Takeuchi loves both driving and drinking — that's a razor's edge to walk
37AnonymousOct 26, 2026 15:16
TRF's in it, so they'll probably team up with DJ KOO again
39AnonymousOct 26, 2026 15:17
Stardust Revue, please don't abandon the calligrapher
Well, BEYOOOOONDS is fine, I guess. If Juice=Juice had snagged this gig too, I'd have been so frustrated
43AnonymousOct 26, 2026 15:22
FM Osaka obviously wants to push BEYOOOOONDS since they have a show on the station
47AnonymousOct 26, 2026 15:24
There's still room to add "drunk loop-driving" as its own category
48AnonymousOct 26, 2026 15:27
Bashing ANGERME isn't going to make Juice=Juice any more popular
50AnonymousOct 26, 2026 15:31
ANGERME just isn't popular, so they got cut, plain and simple
51AnonymousOct 26, 2026 15:36
They'll probably just sing "Tabibito Zan" and "Sai-KOO" and call it a day (likely a pun on 最高/"the best" plus DJ KOO)
57AnonymousOct 26, 2026 15:44
Daisaku Ogata, the singer who got into a motorcycle accident on his way to a traffic safety event (a real, often-cited incident)
58AnonymousOct 26, 2026 15:46
BEYOOOOONDS never does solo shows in Osaka, yet they always show up for festivals there
62AnonymousOct 26, 2026 16:29
The 10th is Hello! Pro concert day, after all
Stardust Revue's got real pull — they squeezed themselves into the "One Love" show too (a separate Osaka charity concert)
Background and Key Points on This Topic
“SDD (STOP! DRUNK DRIVING)” is a drunk-driving eradication campaign that has run for roughly 20 years, and Hello! Project’s ANGERME have served as the face of its annual “LIVE SDD” (car-focused) event. This new “LIVE SDD BICYCLE” is a bicycle-focused spinoff launched in 2026, apparently born out of recent legal reforms that have tightened enforcement against bicycle traffic violations. What caused the confusion on the thread was that the existing car-focused event and the new bicycle-focused event are separate projects run by the same organizer — a string of posts jumped to the conclusion that ANGERME’s absence meant they’d been “cut from the lineup,” and it wasn’t until later replies explained the distinction between the two events that things got sorted out. Note that the lineup for the regular “LIVE SDD 2027” hadn’t been announced at this point, so whether ANGERME will appear there is actually still unknown.
