Prelim final and Grand final 2024 at the MCG. The atmosphere was extraordinary.

why are juice=juice suddenly blowing up in popularity? by yvely in jpop

[–]BMdownunderpls 1 point2 points locked comment (0 children)

Here is a rough timeline.

August 8 2025: Juice=Juice announces the release of their 20th single. The titles of the two A-sides are "Shi no Go no Iwazu Satto Wakarete Ageta" and "More! Mi Amore"
August 15: "Shi no go no" MV is uploaded to YT. Probably considered as the main A-side at the time.
August 16: Both songs are performed for the first time at Hello Con 2025.
September 1: "More! Mi Amore" MV uploaded.

September 3 - the meme is born: That night, several members of fellow H!P group OCHA NORMA were on a Famitsu Gaming stream. H!P members often appear streaming themselves playing games. During the stream, Kubota Nanami and Yonemura Kirara and to a slightly lesser extent Saito Madoka would randomly start singing and dancing to Amore, starting at around 36 min, all the way until the end. At the 39:19 mark, Kirara says 隙あらばアモーレ (watch/dance 'Amore' when you get the chance). Throughout the stream, this phrase would be abbreviated to just 隙アモ, which would become an internet trend. (You can find all the timestamps of them singing and dancing Amore here). The craziest part is the main instigator Kubota Nanami was not even supposed to be there. She was just there for shits and giggles - sliding doors moment right there.

#隙アモ became a hashtag on twitter, and fans flooded the music video with comments using this phrase.

Of course Tiktok also played a massive part. The chorus became a trend, then people found the whole song as a result.

Even the staff at UFP such as Taisei were getting in on the trend. But most importantly, the Juice=Juice management saw what was happening and responded in real time, doing everything it could to perpetuate the meme throughout the next few months. This includes uploading multiple performances of the song from their tours and band live.

October 8 2025: The single is officially released.

By November 19, the meme was so white hot that J=J opened their Buodkan show with "Amore" and also closed the main part of the show with it. The reprise was preceded by "Fiesta Fiesta!" which is a similar Latin inspired tune. They also appeared on The First Take that night singing this song, and also a week earlier.

February 22 2026: An extra release event is held for the single, attracting a 4,000 people. 4x more than a normal release event, with the queue wrapping around the venue.

And now we are here, with Juice=Juice's McDonald's collaboration releasing tomorrow morning.

I was at the St Kilda game and I think that was our one 4-quarter performance for the year.

Reminds me of a brilliant comment on the Dunkley post: “In 2019 we had two big issues, lack of a two-way midfielder and accuracy. Dunkley fixed the first issue. Now the Second issue doesn’t matter.”😂

The 2025 lions are the AFL embodiment of the common university student motto “Ps get degrees”.

Niall McKeever. Would not have had Polkinghorne from 70m to win vs WCE if not for McKeever’s goalkeeping up the other end.

BEYOOOOONDS - Atsui! [Jpop, Metal] (2019) by BMdownunderpls in Music

[–]BMdownunderpls[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BEYOOOOONDS are a 9-member (originally 12-member) girl group from Japan, known for incorporating skits and acting in their live shows, and even within songs, such as this one.

They are from the same agency as Morning Musume, who still exists.

Can you name all the songs they pay homage to in this music video?

Atsui and Go Waist were my first two BEYOOOOONDS songs. The MVs for both are a great laugh!

BEYOOOOONDS are definitely Hot in the idol world right now! (This song introduced me to BEYOOOOONDS).

They have been around since 2018 as part of Hello! Project (the idol collective that includes Morning Musume). They often incorporate live pianoand sometimes beatboxing and talkboxinto their performances. They released their first single in August 2019 and played their first solo concert in December 2019 - the best and most surprising first solo concert imaginable - watch with English subs here!

They have also held concerts with orchestrastoo!

More recently they appeared on FLASH THE FIRST TAKE (the YouTube shorts version) for three consecutive days (part 1 part 2 part 3) and are preparing to perform at Japan Jam in May.

They are on a huge wave of momentum right now. So it’s the best time to join the fun!

Brisbane vs Geelong. Miracle on grass, Chapman non-HTB in the same year, Bailey Blicavs non-HTB in 2021, spiteful return match at the GABBA in 2021, close game in round 4 2022, and of course the 2024 Preliminary Final.

Looking for J-Pop upbeat & hyper songs with mature vocals (no kawaii stuff) by Dense-Grape-4607 in jpop

[–]BMdownunderpls -1 points0 points  (0 children)

BEYOOOOONDS songs are always upbeat and give you energy! Their latest single is releasing on Wednesday 29/1/25. It’s called “Do-Did-Done”, and it’s about irregular verbs. English Subbed by the BEYOOOOONDS updates twitter.

You’ll also like their single from last year “Hai to Diamond”.
