    I don't think they can beat teokure caution as my favourite single any time soon, but I finally listened to the whole single yesterday and I really enjoy it. I love the song because I think this gap between sad-but-optimistic-message and very upbeat music works really well if done correctly. The Iranai Twintail song is amazing, but I think Niji no Moto has to be my favourite song on the album. I'm quite sad that there's no music video for it but I'm sure I'll survive haha

    When I was in Japan last week and visiting record stores as usual I spent quite a long time browsing and while I was doing that I'd be listening to whatever tracks would be playing over the loudspeaker systems. Time and time again I heard one particular track being played which I fell in love with but I couldn't recognise it. I tried using Shazam on my phone (which in the past has been surprisingly good for recognising Japanese music) but that came up with nothing. In the end I asked a staff member in Tsutaya but he wasn't very helpful. By now this damn track was well and truly stuck in my head.

    Anyways... so I've just been relaxing at home listening to the copy of Type C of 'Sagase Diamond Lily' which I bought last week and track 3 came on, 'Niji no Moto' - and it's that damn song I kept hearing everywhere last week!!! Whoever selects the music in each of the various Tokyo record stores I visited must be liking it so much for me to hear it so often (and I don't remember ever hearing the other two tracks being played).

    So now I'm wondering what might have happened to sales of the CD had 'Niji no Moto' been the A-side, would it have been even more successful?

    ^ cool!
    who knows, who knows... I could also be just a coincidence that you heard it so much, maybe Lily was played even more often.

    I hope my understanding is true .......

    A member from =LOVE will appear at the next Shabekuri 007 ? :cute:

    Sasshi's Twitter : https://twitter.com/345__chan/status/1126859205032329216

    昔から応援してくださっている方にはお話し
    したことがあるんですが.…。


    グループのメンバーに、平等に均等にお仕事
    を振り分けることは現状では不可能です。
    (もちろんそうできたら最高だななとは思って
    ます。) (全員、何かお話が来た時に対応で
    2なESのこいここのロリ



    これから先、そういう機会があれば私はその
    場にあってるメンバーを選んで出演させるこ
    ともあります。オタクっぽい子、というこ

    であればオタクっぱぽい子を出すし、喋れる子
    というリクエストであれば喋れる子を出しま

    随分前に、私の信頼している演出家の方に
    「全員を一度に売るよりも1人を好きにさせて
    から、そこからグループを応援させるほうが
    早い」と言われたことがあります。その言葉
    を聞いて「いやいや、わたしはグループの歌
    を聴いてから好きになったし ! 」と反抗した
    くなる気持ちもわかるんですが、グループの
    一員としてでてステージに立ち、そしてまだ日は
    浅いですがグループをプロデュースする身と
    して.…私はその方の意見に今は大賛成なので
    す。 大勢でテレビに出ることってとっても難
    しいです。 (まず出してもらえないし歌うな
    んてもってのほか) なので私は機会があれば
    これからも1人ずつ、企画にあったメンバーを
    プレゼンしていきます。

    ということでイコラブから1人、来週のしゃべ
    くり007に出ます! (人急)

    お楽 しみに^-。
    It's quite impossible to allow all to appear at same time on such TV program.
    No matter who appears, She can be an "entry" point for =LOVE as some viewer may be interested in this gal and will find out more.

    Wish her the best !

    And here it is:


    if the video does not show watch the video here

    I'm TOTALLY loving this song, it's not just my favourite =LOVE song but it's also my favourite Jpop song of the year so far (including 48 & 46G releases).

    (@fatrain I see now that you posted an audio file on 4/20 but I was getting ready to catch the plane so unfortunately I never got around to hearing it. If I'd done that I would have recognised the song as soon as I heard it in record stores.)

    absolutely loving the song. At last, they use an idol whole singing potential with noguchi iori?

    The MV is not that engaging, but the song is on top!

    Hmmm this MV is actually somewhat disappointing when u consider how awesome the song is.
    though I can understand the team not being too keen to invest as much on an MV with only 2 members

    perhaps if lyrics were translated it would all make more sense, but my interpretation based only on MV: seems like they are both grieving over someone/something which has caused their friendship to sour/break down, and eventually they meet up in the future as adults and sorta reconciled? so I would have to guess the lyrics have something to do with stuff along those lines hopefully

    btw also not digging adult Iori's hairstyle, her hair needs to be free
    Maika's acting in this MV also didn't really stand out, but to be fair I think they really did all this in a hurry

    ^ I think, it's possible that MV could be meant as a continuation of Teokure Caution's MV storyline. something like, their love triangle with Hitomi broke up not long after the scene on a roof, and Hitomi transferred to another school maybe? so now both are grieving and feeling awkward around each other. Maika is pissed that Iori broke up their pair and can't forgive her, but when they met as adults it looks like she got over it. so maybe we'll see a continuation of their relationship in a next single? [hehe]

    when I was watching MV, I was like "don't touch those rails, don't lie on that bench! they are supposed to be wet from rain" :rofl:

    ===============

    Shoko, Maika and Iori visited Anna in her 12 hours long SR today!
    I love how different members are in real life and in their performances. this is the real acting

    if the video does not show watch the video here
    yes, very!
    looks like that member will be Naatan.
    last time when she appeared on Sukatto Japan in 1 min skit it created a mini buzz, so this time there are a lot of expectations!

    ==============
    yesterday =LOVE had their first 1st place on Oricon ranking! :1st:
    Friday's reported sales are 2,130 copies!

    https://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/d/2019-05-10/

    Lily was also certified as golden record!
    that's =LOVE's 3rd golden record in a row!
