Akari Takeuchi Served Sushi Loaded with Wasabi — 5ch: “Reminded Me Just How Great Takeuchi Was”

From our other sites

The story

Akari Takeuchi, a former Hello! Project member who has continued her solo career since graduating from Juice=Juice, posted on X about being served sushi smeared with a huge amount of wasabi, tweeting, “Could today’s Juice=Juice even pull this off!?” The post became a hot topic on 5ch’s Hello! Project board. Her remark, rooted in her own past experience being on the receiving end of reckless dares in Juice=Juice, sparked a wave of nostalgia in the thread, along with comments pointing out that it’s now the junior group ANGERME handling these kinds of bits — the discussion even spiraled into comparisons of graduated members’ “workloads.”

That says it all

Re: #8
They're not estranged

Saying "today's" Juice=Juice implies it would've been fine to do this to the Miyamoto-era lineup, huh

15AnonymousNov 6, 2026 07:55
Takerin (Takeuchi's nickname) was hilarious
Made me realize all over again just how great Takeuchi was

Re: #1
Wish "President" Tanahashi could've seen this (nickname of pro wrestler Hiroshi Tanahashi)

Re: #16
Tanahashi's retired, but in his last match he got spat on and KO'd with a piledriver
17AnonymousNov 6, 2026 08:02
Guess she'd seen Harolab (a Hello! Project YouTube show), so it didn't turn into "make the juniors do it instead"
20AnonymousNov 6, 2026 08:23
Ebata got forced to drink senburi tea (an intensely bitter herbal tea) for a show segment too
22AnonymousNov 6, 2026 08:26
Not a move Ise could ever pull off
23AnonymousNov 6, 2026 08:26
Slurpy, bouncy tapioca senburi tea

24AnonymousNov 6, 2026 08:33
Can't risk it, her throat's too valuable
26AnonymousNov 6, 2026 08:53
Can't pull stunts like that on your top earner
27AnonymousNov 6, 2026 08:59
Leave the dirty work to ANGERME
59AnonymousNov 6, 2026 09:34
This is really a dig at the staff for going overboard with the wasabi
60AnonymousNov 6, 2026 09:36
And as payback, right at the end of the event she suddenly said,
"I have an announcement for everyone,"
which scared the staff half to death

Background and Key Points of This Topic

Akari Takeuchi has continued her solo career both inside and outside Hello! Project since graduating from Juice=Juice in 2020. “Reckless dare” segments like piling on huge amounts of wasabi have long been a staple bit on Hello! Project-affiliated shows and location shoots, with how far a member is willing to push her body being part of the appeal. Opinions in the thread diverged over the fact that it’s now junior group ANGERME, rather than Juice=Juice, handling these kinds of dares, with remarks like “leave the dirty work to ANGERME” clashing with both defenses and counterarguments. Posts comparing the workloads of graduated members also appeared, though the thread didn’t address the fact that the scope of entertainment activities and contract arrangements differ from member to member, making simple comparisons difficult.
