The story
Kei Yasuda and Saori Onoda of Hello! Project appeared on the first episode of the new late-night show “Isn’t It About Time to Get Married!?”, which aired on BS Nittele on November 8. The show presents information about marriage and marriage-hunting (“konkatsu”), with a lawyer serving as a recurring commentator. On 5ch’s Hello! Project thread, fans debated the show’s heavily sponsor-driven format, how the wedding dress segment was handled, and who might appear as guests in the coming weeks.

aren't really all that different, are they
Turns 25 next month

Having a high schooler do a marriage show would be a bad look
Shouldn't it be someone around 25, where marriage talk doesn't seem weird?
Probably Tanimoto?
Background and Points of Debate
“Isn’t It About Time to Get Married!?” is a new show that began airing late-night on BS Nittele on November 8, with a rotating cast of Hello! Project members appearing week to week in a format built around learning about marriage and marriage-hunting (“konkatsu”). Thread opinion split mainly two ways. One concerned the show’s format itself: with a lawyer fixed on as commentator and a heavy emphasis on matchmaking-service-related content, some took a cynical view, calling it “heavily sponsor-driven” and arguing there was no need to rotate members through when they could “just make Ikuta the regular instead.” The other concerned the age and standing of the members appearing — debate over whether it’s appropriate to put younger members into a marriage-themed segment, and unease that the wedding-dress scenes look similar to graduation-concert attire. It’s worth noting that the show’s actual intent and sponsor details remain 5ch speculation, not an official explanation.</parameter>
