    ah ok sorry forgot about that post.

    not too bad, ranking so high now. though nogizaka and AKB do hold quite a large share even accounting for the extended members. Nonetheless its pretty decent progress considering the slower production cycle and how new they are relatively.

    Being an October single, I kinda hope it has a Halloween-y vibe but not sure if 17th is still too far away from Halloween. I don't know if Halloween is big enough of a holiday in Japan

    the timing for Halloween single release in the middle of October would be perfect, but I doubt Sasshi will do it - she doesn't like Halloween. but who knows, maybe she will after all - business comes first!)) she hurried the release of 2nd single to make a Christmas song, so maybe she's try to use Halloween to make a hit this time as well.
    but I really hope for anime tie-in, =LOVE needs to get more popular with anime fans.

    btw, individual handshake schedule for 4th single is out!
    HS events will be in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka

    5 times !? wow .... usually I see an idol group perform at most only twice in the entire 3 days .... With more groups this time, looks like they must had expanded more venues to perform.

    Sky stage in the mid of noon. Really glad they are not wearing that parker .. that stage is real hot but nice back drop and we can watch that stage on TV !

    Paris isnt that far from me and although a bus journey would take a while, it would be affordable and not that bad. Problem is, I had already agreed months ago I would work :( I'm kinda sad, I'll try to think ahead next year lol

    last Teokure Caution individual handshake events ended these holidays, so this probably means that promotions for 3rd single have ended as well.

    it's still unknown if it's a hiatus, right now it looks like a short break "due to health issues". the announcement says that she'll miss 4 events on 7/27-30, but nothing is said about TIF (8/3-5), so she might return by then.
