Fuji TV's long-running music program 'MUSIC FAIR,' broadcast on November 8, 2025, sparked considerable discussion on social media from before its airing until after it concluded. Popular groups INI and BE:FIRST appeared, each delivering impressive performances and engaging talks. While fans expressed their delight, many also lamented missing the broadcast or bemoaned being outside the viewing area.

Particularly noteworthy was INI's first television performance of their new song 'Present.' On social media, comments praising their performance and the 'chemistry' (chemical reaction) between members flooded in, with remarks like 'So incredibly cute,' 'It was the best,' 'Thank you for the full performance!', and 'A chemistry festival was held.' Many messages of gratitude were also sent to member Takatsuka Hiroto, with fans saying 'Thank you for the wonderful present.' Furthermore, the return of the 'INI folder' segment after a long absence was met with joy, making it a packed broadcast for fans.

BE:FIRST also appeared on the program, and their official account shared information regarding the music video for 'I Want You Back.' During the show, an anecdote was revealed about member Ryuhei often forgetting things, to which CHEMISTRY's Yoshikuni Dochin advised, 'Apparently, you tend to forget things when you're thinking about two or three things at once,' leading to a warm and friendly discussion. Fans were touched by the star-studded collaboration, with comments such as 'Not only BE:FIRST, but I also loved CHEMISTRY when I was young, went to their concerts several times and cried listening to them, which brought back memories.' Da-iCE's Toru Iwaoka's talk also seemed to captivate fans.

However, not all fans were able to enjoy the program. Many heartbreaking cries were heard, expressing the difficulty of viewing due to missing the show or being outside the broadcast area, with comments like 'Completely forgot about Music Fair,' 'Too stupid to have missed it after being exhausted and falling asleep,' and 'My prefecture isn't in the Music Fair broadcast area... I'm going to cry...' Nevertheless, some positive voices spoke of anticipating the next program, saying, 'There's a listening party after this, and Venue101 can be watched even in Nagano, so let's switch gears.'
