Why? Two of the most popular members of Golden Era Morning Musume officially reuniting twelve years after a scandalous break-up, with each of them having become even more famous (or infamous) in the time since then — that's relatively big news, and it's probably the main reason why many in the audience are there in the first place. It will almost certainly be on all of the morning shows, maybe even the lead item in the "Entertainment" corner. So Up-Front would be foolish not to leverage it as much as possible. The rest of HinaFes is just another idol concert, as far as non-fans are concerned.
