「七龍珠才是最強漫畫」惹議連連 網友搬海賊王對比 5ch掀大論戰龍谷大棒球社爆不當行為：學長毆打學弟、排泄影片全隊共享 5ch網友：都說是教育的一環了The story
Juice=Juice’s Risachi Irie revealed on her blog that she overslept on “a level she’s never experienced in her life,” missing the time she was supposed to arrive on set already in full hair and makeup. On 5ch, comments spread worrying about her packed schedule — “she must be exhausted if she needed five alarms” — while others voiced concern about the potential fallout for the Kohaku Uta Gassen (Japan’s New Year’s Eve music special) and the fall tour.
I overslept on a level I’ve never experienced in my life 😭😭😭
I was supposed to show up already in hair and makeup, but I woke up right at the time I was due there 😱
I’d set about five alarms, but I don’t remember any of them going off…

What people said
Could be worse — at least it's not like Hiromoto being late to an actual live broadcast.
Guess I'll get a job as the real-life alarm clock for "Risachi's Room" (her blog segment).
If she's gonna crash, now's the time to do it — just please don't miss the Kohaku.
Have your mom start waking you up from tomorrow.
It's fine, I've slept in until 11am before with a 9am shift myself.
Eba seems pretty worn out too — feels like everyone's hitting their limit.
Eba and Miffy said they've got muscle soreness too, and they've barely been posting on their blogs or Instagram lately
Did they have some brutal job recently?

Last week I had to leave for work at 5:40am and woke up at 5:50am.
Sounds like Juice=Juice's been doing some kind of overnight job or something.
Apparently she's in Korea right now
That's why her parents couldn't wake her up.

She's probably grinding through an unfamiliar, packed schedule thanks to the "Moreme" rush (some kind of viral trend).
The fatigue is really piling up… I hope everyone, not just Risachi, can push through somehow.
Kawashima lost her sense of what day it was too, and once burnout like that hits it can stick with you for life — working them any harder might be dangerous.
I still haven't shaken off my own fatigue from the bus tour.
Funny thing, I overslept today too for the first time in ages.
Tako-chan's been losing things left and right lately too
Everyone's running on empty, it's worrying.

Stuff like this can be the trigger that sends someone spiraling into a slow burnout
I really hope they take good care of Risachi.

In the early days she was probably running on pure adrenaline from being so happy things were taking off, but that kind of high burns out fast
They really weren't kidding when they said adrenaline will do you in.

I just hope she's in perfect shape for CDTV (a major Japanese music show) though.
Everyone's probably wired from this packed schedule right now, but the fatigue must really be piling up
Needing five alarms means she's barely sleeping at all.

It always starts with oversleeping, doesn't it.
This is a level of busy nobody's ever experienced before
Apparently during Morning Musume's golden era, members were only getting 1-2 hours of sleep a night.

If she lives alone, isn't she probably rooming with the other members who are from outside Tokyo?
Five alarms means she's seriously exhausted 😢
Back when I had to be up at 3:30am for work, I was anxious no matter how many alarms I set
Too anxious, actually — I'd always wake up before the alarm even went off.

In her earlier blog post her mom was around and her dad drove her, so she's living at home
Her parents are probably both working, so no one's around on weekday afternoons.

Re: #65
Wasn't that because she couldn't go outside during the heavy rain in Chiba?

Does this have anything to do with Eba and Miffy's muscle soreness?
Re: #69
Isn't that related to Uta Con (a music TV program)? Not sure though.

If a member ends up needing to rest, I'm worried it could affect the Kohaku lineup.
Re: #88
Both Momoiro Clover Z and Me:I have had members sit out the Kohaku before.

I wonder if they'll make it through the fall tour okay
I really hope they can pull through somehow.

Re: #93
I've said this before, but the dumbest outcome would be attending every single fall tour date only to collapse on New Year's Eve
They should skip a show here and there when they need to.
