    @bonjourmarlene The live stream is online. :) (starting at 1:42)

    A question for all: In IkoLabu and Noimii we have leader & center, but what about NearJoy? As far as I know Sasshi never named any. She already changed the system when she added a thirteenth member, did she also abandon the usual L-C roles? (At least for NearJoy)
    But IF the group would name two members- If I had to guess/could choose, I'd say it's Ozawa Aimi (L) and Esumi Renon (C). In the beginning I thought they name Jurii as leader, but Ozawa with her experience seems to be a better fit. (And she already leads most MCs). For Renon, well, she centered the first song, who is usually the groups center. (She also has the most ''center-power'' to me currently)
    Please tell me your opinion on this. Would you agree or choose other members?

    I'd guess that Aimi is the leader, she was the MC for yesterday's livestream. There's actually a good possibility I could ask her in person! As I mentioned in the =LOVE thread there's an 'Ikonoijoy' in-person talk event in Yokohama on 4/30 while I'm visiting Japan but it's on the same day as the two AKB48 Team 8 concerts for which I have tickets. As the two venues are just 500 metres apart I applied for and won tickets for =LOVE members in the 1st and 4th talk slots which are before and between the concerts.

    However the first Team 8 show should end in time for me to make the end of the 3rd slot so I randomly applied for a few tickets for ≒JOY members to see what I might win and I won just the one ticket which was for Aimi. Assuming the concert is no more than 2.5 hours long I should get to the talk venue in time. I've nothing yet planned to say to her so maybe I could ask her to confirm if she's the leader?

    There's no official leader yet, the two previous leaders were both announced at live events a while after the groups formed , I'd expect something similar to happen for NearJoy as it's an easy way to create a nice moment for the group and fans (maybe at Ikonoijoy fes?). You can see Anna being announced leader at 14:40 here:

    As far as I'm aware Renon is officially the center as she did the first 3 songs, and I believe Sasshi said she was center in the documentary.

    ^The song title (I think) is 'Kyou mo kimi no yume wo mitan da' ('I dreamed of you again today').

    It's a nice song and I'm looking forward very much to hopefully seeing them perform it live on 4/28 at an idol event in Shinagawa, Tokyo called TOKYO GIRL GIRLS which the group will be headlining.

    Tonight I saw the group perform live at Intercity Hall in Shinagawa as part of the idol group show TOKYO GIRLS GIRLS. They performed 6 songs, each of their 5 songs plus one other which I'm not sure I recognised but I think it was the IKONOIJOY collaboration 'Triple Date'. There was a number of top idol groups performing tonight such as SUPER GIRLS and WASUTA but the quality of ≒JOY's performance was noticably much higher than the others. During the evening fans with tickets could freely come and go from the main auditorium so there was always some empty seats except when ≒JOY performed when the place was absolutely full.

    As expected 11 of the 12 members were there tonight, they were wearing the costumes in the tweeted photo below:

    For me Riko and Aimi stood out as the best performers but Arisu also caught my eye, it's the first time I've noticed her. It was a very nice show from the members and hopefully one day quite soon they can have a full group concert.

    ^And a new agency (minimu inc.) as it seems. From a quick look at their website, it is about photography. So we'll get some beautiful pictures in the future. :blush:
    (@Rushy I will add the info to the main post, thank you for this information!^^ )
    The Twitter account already uploaded two lovely pictures of her:
