A clip of Juice=Juice’s Ebata Hisaki trying senburi tea for the first time in her life during a TV variety segment was posted on X, sparking discussion on 5ch’s Hello!Project board. Senburi tea is a notoriously bitter herbal tonic long used in folk remedies, and capturing someone’s priceless facial reaction the moment they drink it has become a classic bit on reaction-based segments. Thread posts focused on Ebata’s expression, comparisons to other members who’d done similar segments in the past, and differing opinions on whether this was a punishment game or a challenge she took on herself.

Breaking news hit the 5ch Hello! Project board that the venue for Morning Musume。’26’s Oda Sakura graduation concert has been set as Yokohama Arena. The thread immediately buzzed with unconfirmed reports that Juice=Juice — which also has a member set to graduate around the same time — would hold its own graduation concert at the same arena, making it a “2-day” run, though nothing about this was ever confirmed and the speculation ran well ahead of the facts. The conversation eventually drifted from the venue’s size itself to comparisons of drawing power and big-venue track records across other groups like Juice=Juice and ANGERME, spiraling into arguments about the pecking order between Hello! Project groups and heated exchanges between fanbases.

A thread about Hello! Project idol group ANGERME lit up over the observation that “the members don’t all go out together anymore.” The group was once known for outings where the whole lineup would head to the beach, USJ, or Disney together, but with the graduations of core members like Takeuchi, Kamikoku (Kamiko), and Kawamura (Kawamu), some suggested there’s no one left to organize such plans. Thread posters were split on whether the group’s current senior members — Ise, Hashisako, Kawana, and Tamenaga — could fill that role.

A ranking site’s survey of 1,413 men on “which former Nogizaka46 member would you most want to marry” became a hot topic on 5ch. Mai Shiraishi took the top spot. While some in the thread agreed with the top picks, plenty questioned why popular members like Marika Ito, Rina Ikoma, and Kazumi Takayama didn’t make the list, and others took a skeptical view of the ranking itself. Some posts also revisited the earlier announcement of Shiraishi’s relationship with Fuma Kikuchi.

On the Hello! Project board, opinions clashed over the direction of Tsubaki Factory’s new single. It started with a post saying: “Tsubaki can just be the group that puts out great songs even if they don’t sell — please stop releasing dumb songs aimed at going viral.” The group has previously put out songs aimed at TikTok virality, like “Mousou Furifuri,” choreographed by Sako Makita, and their new song “Aiueon,” written by Hyadain, was seen as following the same pattern. The thread split between those who said “they don’t need to go viral” and those who argued “chasing virality is part of what makes Hello! Project what it is,” with comparisons drawn to the currently thriving Juice=Juice, and some pointing out jealousy lurking behind the criticism.

The Hello! Project board on 5ch lit up in response to a prompt: “Pick the 10 members who played the most important role in Hello! Project’s history.” Nearly everyone agreed on the founding-era members — Yuko Nakazawa, Natsumi Abe, Maki Goto — as automatic locks, but the fiercest fight was over one of the remaining slots: Ai Takahashi. Voices calling her an unremovable pick (“if she’s not on the list, the whole thing’s pointless”) clashed head-on with those who dismissed her contribution (“she didn’t do anything”). Support also ran strong for Ruru Danbara as “the symbol of Hello! Project’s revival,” laying bare just how much selection criteria differ across generations of fans.

A thread titled ‘Which retired idols do you wish would come back into the spotlight?’ popped up on 5ch’s Hello! Project board, and names came pouring in — Momoe Yamaguchi, Junko Sakurada, Candies, Akina Nakamori, Agnes Lum, and other idols who were active from the Showa through Heisei eras. One comment noted that the idol who sang the theme song for ‘Tadaima Houkago’ has actually already passed away. Meanwhile, Momoe Yamaguchi drew some pushback too, with one poster writing ‘I don’t want to see her,’ leaving opinions split over who fans actually want back.

A thread on 5channel’s Hello! Project board asked whether Morning Musume trainee-turned-member Akisa Sugihara (nicknamed “Mesa”) might be “the first Kansai-native member in the group’s history that fans don’t find off-putting.” Posters compared her to past Kansai-born members like Yuko Nakazawa, Ai Kago, Aika Mitsui, Harumi Ogata, and Haruka Inoue. Many praised her easygoing friendliness — she told her juniors to just call her “Mesa” — and how she makes sure to give equal attention to all four of her fellow 18th-generation members. Others pushed back, calling her “too familiar” or saying she’s “just quiet for a Kansai person,” so opinions were split.

Hanano-chan seems like the forceful type, after all

It’s been revealed that ANGERME’s Hana Goto will make a solo appearance on the September 18 broadcast of “Buzzman TV.” The episode also brings on Sho Hasumi of Dow90000 as a guest — writing the “Crayon Shin-chan” script marks his first time doing so — for a segment recounting the behind-the-scenes story of how his first draft, a dialogue scene between Misae and Hiroshi, came together. Goto, well known for loving Crayon Shin-chan, was brought in to match the theme. On 5ch’s Hello! Project board, reactions were split: some welcomed the news, calling Goto — who appears to have chosen this solo gig over group duties — “the ace,” while others complained that “all members should get equal screen time” and to “stop pushing her so hard.”

Hello! Project’s Juice=Juice has been racking up so much exposure — thanks to a surge in TV and festival appearances — that it’s being called “the most fun year of my Hello! Project fan life.” On 5ch’s Hello! Project board, comments celebrating the excitement sit alongside a flood of complaints from fans who can’t get into shows because ticket odds have gotten brutal. In the thread, opinions welcoming the rising exposure as a sign of the group’s growth clash with critics who say the buzz has outpaced their actual skill, and commenters are divided over whether their singing ability truly matches their level of exposure.
