=LOVE (イコールラブ, イコラブ, ikorabu, eqlove)

I JUST FINISHED READING THE WHOLE =LOVE THREAD (from 1 to here) TO KEEP UP WITH EVERYONE. I already love =Love and picked Maika as my oshi bc her smile and eyes got me. I knew =Love since June but didn't check them out. I'm hoping for more success from this group and I wish Maika will soon be okay .

From what I've observe, Maika smiles using her right face which is cute. I've read a trivia that right side of our face are less expressive! This small thing made me oshi Maika so much.

 

Welcome!

yea Maika's asymmetrical smile is quite unique, makes her stand out. but her voice is also quite unique, Sana's pretty good with singing but the songs do lose a bit of flair without Maika, especailly for Bukatsu

was there a deadline on how long Maika with be MIA for? is it possible that she's already back with the team working on 5th single?

also have you guys checked out some of the girl's Halloween costumes? pretty cute

 

^ it's unfortunate that members didn't do a Halloween party on Showroom like last year.
Maika's absence could be a reason though. I don't think they are working on 5th single yet, they still have at least a month of promotions of 4th single.

Maika also makes a mouth like this when she's sad))

thank you so much for your constant =love updates i really appreciate them
you posted the same link for both

mirinya looks great for bubka btw

 

i wish Hitomi to do more gravures , she has "healthier" figure than Mirinya, imo

 

if it was only a matter of healthy figures I am certain quite a few of the other girls would be good for that as well, think Mirinya just gets more attention in this regard because of her experience with fashion and modelling perhaps

 

well, Mirinya has the looks and she is also into fashion herself, so it's only natural that she gets modeling offers.

Ikoraji "RADIO=LOVE" #57 (181104)

 

anyone who have copies/links/ google directories for =Love tv shows like Kitto Kimi Da? TIA


also, i wanted to follow u all on twitter bc i felt so lonely i dont have anyone to talk about =Love

 

I retweet Mirinya or like other =LOVE members post but I'm into other idols as well so follow me if you want.

 

you can probably find 99% of their video content here, on this =LOVE video matome site, and/or bilibili (except Kitto Kimi da though).
I use twitter only for reading so there is no point in following me, my main activities are all here. but you can try to find English speaking fans by searching "eqlove" and "ikorabu".

You can follow me on twitter if you want, but I barely post about =LOVE. I use that account mainly for Little Mix and Ariana Grande. I'll drop my user but as I said, no need to follow me @lovejaderight

it will premiere in May, 2019, but we will have a chance to see it probably only in a year IF DVD/BD will even be released... OTL
the screenwriter Mitani Shintarou already worked with =LOVE on "Girlfriend Beta" stage play.

Want You! Want You was certified as gold record as well!

any idea on plot? seems like high school romance I imagine? would be sick if it turns into horror LOL

good pick with Naatan, think she does do quite well with acting

 

great that they're getting lots of jobs
but i kinda want more anime related jobs from them
