Starting at 7:30 PM on September 14, idol group Rosy Chronicle held an emergency live stream on YouTube titled “Even If You Scold Me, I Won’t Cry; Even If You Love Me, I Won’t Cry.” On 5ch’s live-commentary thread, viewers began flagging technical problems almost immediately — hard-to-hear audio, choppy video — and doubts about the agency’s streaming setup spread quickly. At the same time, plenty of comments focused on the members’ expressions and outfits, making for a thread that mixed frustration over the glitches with genuine attention to the performance.

On September 14 at 8:00 PM, the Nihon Eiga Senmon Channel aired the musical ‘Stacy’s: Reslaughtered Girl Opera,’ starring Morning Musume. Originally staged in 2012 and directed by Kenichi Suematsu, the show is set in a near future overrun by the ‘Stacy phenomenon,’ in which girls who suddenly die come back as zombies. To coincide with the broadcast, a live-reaction thread sprang up on 5ch’s Hello!Project board. While some posters hailed it as ‘the greatest Hello!Project stage production ever,’ the thread mostly buzzed with detailed back-and-forth about which members had speaking lines and the circumstances behind cast changes at the time.

For Angerme’s fan-club presale for their Pia Arena MM show, it’s come to light that while the applicant themselves must be a linked MOALA member, their companion can apply even without membership — and the news sparked discussion on 5ch. Within Hello! Project, where companions are usually also required to register as members, this laxer rule stood out as unusual, and thread posters focused on why the bar had been lowered at this particular moment. Users pointed to precedents such as Tsubaki Factory, which similarly relaxed its conditions for other groups, as well as the fact that Juice=Juice, by contrast, tightened its conditions and still sold out — leading to a split in reactions, with some seeing it as “a safeguard against fraud” and others suspecting “they’re worried about ticket sales.”

Hello! Project idol group BEYOOOOONDS revealed their new single with Kojima Hana cast as center, and the news lit up 5ch’s Hello! Project board. Kojima is a relatively new member who joined from another talent agency; while some posters welcomed the casting, others raised questions about her background, and speculation flew about the pecking order between BEYOOOOONDS and sister groups Juice=Juice and ANGERME. Threads also pointed out that the single’s title is a double meaning of “sentaku” (choice) and “sentaku” (laundry), while others voiced worry over what’s next for veteran member Hirai. The discussion sprawled in every direction.

A thread has appeared on 5ch’s Hello! Project board about Juice=Juice’s sudden surge in popularity. The debate centers on whether Naoki Yamazaki, who leads Hello! Project, was aware of and steering the group’s sudden jump in name recognition — sparked by the viral “Moremi” dance trend on TikTok (a heavily filtered, ‘glammed-up’ dance meme) and posts tied to Hana Kojima — or whether it was simply unplanned. Comments like “There’s no way this broke out on its own — they’re paying an agency for this” clashed repeatedly with counterarguments such as “Director Yamazaki was the one who set Juice=Juice’s Latin-music direction in the first place,” leaving posters split over just how much of the rise was the agency’s doing.

A thread on 5ch’s Hello! Project board turned nostalgic for the early days of Hello! Project back in the Showa era. Posters recalled that smoking at concert venues was simply the norm at the time, with ashtrays built right into the seats, while others dug into the backstory of Naoki Yamazaki — founder of parent company Up-Front Group — who rose through the ranks at talent agency Young Japan before climbing from managing director to president of Up-Front Agency, alongside his personal ties to the idol duo Wink. The thread ended up catching fire along two tracks: the smoking culture of the era, and the industry history behind it.

The ticket results for BEYOOOOONDS’ fan club event “Christmas Battle ZIN” (Kurisumasu no Jin ZIN), set for December 4 at Nissho Hall in Minato Ward, Tokyo, have been announced, and 5ch’s results-report thread quickly filled up with replies. While some fans won tickets to both Part 1 and Part 2, others reported losing both, sparking confusion over the uneven results. The thread buzzed with reports from newer fans who won tickets, along with speculation about how the addition of new members might have affected venue capacity and competition ratios.

Juice=Juice’s new single “Moreh! Mi Amore” has reclaimed the top spot in the MV view-count trend index that fans keep an eye on, and the news sparked discussion on 5ch’s Hello! Project board. Some posters pointed to the group’s CDTV appearance and its collaboration with Pom Pom Purin as the reason for the view-count boost, while others got into a heated debate over how to read the momentum compared with Morning Musume。’26’s new song, released around the same time. It was also pointed out that the rankings can shift depending on how the numbers are tallied — hourly versus converted to a 24-hour basis — and replies went back and forth over which song is really gaining the most traction.

"BLOODY BULLET" has been out since last year,
and the live footage still has more momentum than the MV even now.

It’s been revealed that a gacha capsule toy line themed around Morning Musume’s past costumes is set for release, sparking discussion on 5ch’s Hello! Project board. The product appears to belong to the same series as the Mini Moni costume charms, with each capsule containing a charm modeled after a member’s outfit. While many in the thread welcomed the wave of nostalgia, opinions split over the fact that the featured costumes skew heavily toward the group’s peak around the year 2000, with nothing from current members, as well as how it stacks up against costume merchandise from other groups like AKB48.

Well, guess there’s no choice but to go spin this!!!

On the Hello! Project board, a joint appearance by Juice=Juice and former member Maria Makino became a hot topic. Rather than reacting to the collaboration itself, the thread quickly veered into rankings of Morning Musume and Juice=Juice membership tenure and comparisons of X (Twitter) follower counts, with posters expressing surprise that Makino’s numbers were “lower than expected.” The discussion also touched on the contrast between members who remain regulars on terrestrial TV and former members whose exposure has faded since graduating, splitting opinion among fans.
