The music video for Hello! Project group Rosy Chronicle’s new song has hit #1 on YouTube’s “Hype” ranking. Thread posters shared a breakdown showing that Hype points are weighted by subscriber count: channels with under 500 subscribers earn 7,500 points per Hype, channels with over 100,000 subscribers earn only about 200, and channels with 500,000+ subscribers aren’t even eligible. While many congratulated the group, some noted coolly that Rosy Chronicle’s subscriber count is only in the 30,000s — “they’re just at an advantage because they have so few subscribers.” The thread also brought up the struggles of fellow Hello! Project groups BEYOOOOONDS and Morning Musume, so the discussion didn’t stay purely celebratory.
Wrong reply target… (anchor mistake)
Where's the "batter's box"?
Are people still out there like this?
If there's something people want to see, they'll just go look it up themselves.
Just lucky, I guess.

A #1 Hype ranking is something someone who can't even quote-reply properly will never get.
500+: 7,500P
10,000+: approx. 1,200P (Rosy, OCHA NORMA)
100,000+: approx. 200P (Angerme, Juice=Juice, Tsubaki Factory, BEYOOOOONDS)
500,000+: 50P (Morning Musume.)
Over 500k subscribers means you're not even eligible for Hype.
"Najirareta tte" — 180K views, 3 days (likely song titles, compared for view growth speed)
Might have dropped even lower by now.
I saw some group called Maneki Kecak rank too, and they're not exactly popular.
100,000: approx. 60P
500,000: approx. 50P
BEYOOOOONDS has 70,000 total Hypes and 24,000 likes.
Rosy's still got plenty of Hype headroom left.
Background and Key Points of This Discussion
YouTube’s Hype ranking measures how quickly a video’s engagement is growing, and the points it awards vary sharply depending on a channel’s subscriber count. Based on figures shared in the thread, a channel with fewer than 500 subscribers earns 7,500 points per Hype, while a channel with over 100,000 subscribers earns only about 200 — and channels with 500,000 or more subscribers aren’t eligible for Hype points at all. In other words, hitting #1 reflects less the sheer volume of views and more a structural quirk of the system that favors smaller channels. Alongside the congratulations in the thread, commenters also pointed out that this is “only natural given how few subscribers they have” — a distinction from a straightforward popularity vote or chart-topping hit that’s easy to overlook. The discussion also laid bare the gaps in subscriber counts and view counts between different Hello! Project groups, leaving reactions to the #1 ranking mixed.
