=LOVE (イコールラブ, イコラブ, ikorabu, eqlove)

Wow, i do know Iorin is cool

but i see that she is awesome!

anyone knows who sing the the parts of Kioku no Dokoka de de?

 

^ Iori and Sana are wCenter of "Kioku no Dokoka de". you can see distribution of solo parts in this performance (6:00-) and also in ANN, when Sasshi showed on a paper who sang at that moment by covering with hand the name of other. we don't have other sources other than those, but Sasshi said in one of her tweets that it would be great to show videos of "Kioku no Dokoka de" and "Start" someday, so maybe we'll see them eventually.

top name - Morohashi (Sana)
bottom name - Noguchi (Iori)

Ioringu's performance and singing in Kioku made her finally officially become my 2nd in =LOVE. She is a strong candidate for my oshi, but Risa has been my original 4th generation oshimen.
Her voice is amazing. Reminds me of Sayanee's at times.

 

WOW! tks for the infos

At first my eyes on =love went to hitomin, iorin, morohashi and emiri as well
but omfg... already falling in love a little... iorin is too nice
and she is really genki on the showrooms
some days ago she congratulated hitomin for get 10k views in the showroom wich was airing at the same time as her. And it was heartfull

i will refrain to get a oshimen on this start of the group... for my sake

if i can...

 

looks like someone is being sucked into a famous =LOVE swamp...

Iori was my favourite even before I heard her singing - I liked her Showrooms the most - so her singing was a bonus to me)) from what I could see in documentaries, she is also good at (voice) acting, so she might surprise us even more in the future.
but overall, I'd say, I am just a hako oshi))

some energetic fans dance an improvised "=LOVE" dance))

I'm starting to see that fans love =Love more than 22/7, or they are more active. Lol. Keep up the good work guys! I'm glad I can live through your guys commitment!

 

=LOVE's 1st Single (=LOVE) (2nd Week Sales)
Week 2: 2,175 (20,921) (23rd)

 

I'm not even surprised that there's a lot of Sakamichi fans in =LOVE's fanbase, despite it was produced by an AKB member. I feel like it was the theme of the group (particularly the first promo picture of them all, that was what pulled me tbh [idk for other people]) were they looked elegant and cute lol. But I'm really surprised that there are only 13% from AKB fans..

 

Not sure if those videos were shared here, but Anna was a student at ASH before she became a member of =LOVE. It's the same academy Sayashi Riho (MM), Nakamoto Himeka (Nogi), Nakamoto Suzuka (Babymetal) attended.
While in most videos it's really hard to see the girls (because each "class" has about 20 girls in it and the quality is amazingly low), I found some vidoes where you can actually see Anna.

She's the girl in yellow (The girl in pink is Sayashi Riho).

That's a newer video, from their 2016 show. It's a solo performance. Funny enough, it's a song originally sang by Sayashi Riho and Wada Ayaka (ANGERME).

I'm getting bored (lmao) so this is what I'm going to link here. Search for 山本杏奈 ASH for more videos.

Hitomi, Shoko + Nonno also appeared on FM Yokohama's radio program "Tresen" today

Harutan-sensei asked her fans to present her =LOVE t-shirt for Birthday

 

I will be in Japan this November. Does anyone know if they have any events in November?
I am super obsessed with =LOVE now! I'd at least like to get some merch while I visit, but if there are any events I can attend that would be amazing ;-;

 

I don't think there are any plans for November right now (at least that we know of).
maybe there will be some announcements closer to November. I hope they'll release 2nd single somewhere in Christmas season.

the closest event to November is the last "mini live + HS" event in Osaka on 10/21.
in one of Sasshi's tweets she said that she didn't want release events to be too apart from release date.

here is the full list of "mini live + HS" events: http://sacramusic.jp/information/archive/?a=15&i=485634

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

added recording of this radio

 

=LOVE will get their first regular show on SHOWROOM! called "Ikorabu dai tokkun chuu!" (イコラブ大特訓中!).

MC is Shibata Hidetsugu (Untouchable) and it starts on 9/25. Looks like it will air every other week on Mondays.

^ ah, awesome news!
just what I wished for!

a bit unexpected choice of MC, I don't remember Shibata had any connections with Sasshi/4648G. the only connection is probably him being a partner of Zakiyama, with whom Sasshi worked a lot.

btw, the title "=LOVE Dai Tokkun Chuu" translates as "=LOVE in course of great special training", so they will probably be trained the basics of variety.

 

today was mini live + HS event at Aeon Mall in Aichi

A tweet with a clip from the single announcement reaction:

Great that there's already a 2nd single to look forward to. Feels good not having to worry about senbatsu too lol.
I do hope that if there is a Xmas-y slow song on it that it's the Bside or something.
Can't go hype at a live to a carol lol.

 

Can't wait for the 2nd single!
