And performed Norotte Norotte on CDTV:

 

I went to see =LOVE in USJ on March 10th, 2024!

It was really fun. This was my 2nd time seeing =LOVE live (the first time was at their 6th Anniversary Concert in October 2023). I had also been to see Hinatazaka46 at USJ the day before, so I was really able to feel the difference in how great =LOVE was. Don't get me wrong, Hinatazaka46 was great too and sang beautifully, but the energy from both members and fans was much more intense at the =LOVE event. The song choice was great and really got the fans hyped - I also noticed again that the male/female split is pretty 50/50 for =LOVE fans.

Here's the setlist I was able to witness:

• Norotte Norotte
• Be Selfish
• Want You! Want You!
• Drive Date Tonai
• MC
• Shukipi (+ minions on stage)
• MC
• Oh! Darling (+ Sesame Street characters on stage)
• Heroines
• Bukatsu Chuu ni Me ga Au Natte
• Sagase Diamond Lily
• Kono Sora ga Trigger
• Seishun "Subliminal"
• =LOVE

I think Heroines is my favourite song live, when the fans shout "L-O-V-E! [member's name]!" the crowd is so loud and excited, it makes you feel really amazing. The girls also looked absolutely beautiful, but I was worried especially for Iori cause she was wearing a crop top and it was really cold. All members wore a short skirt, but at least most had their mid covered, which I think can be a really sensitive body part to the cold T_T

So I'm even more grateful for the amazing performance! Luckily there was sunshine on the stage (I was in the shade) and they were dancing intensely so maybe that made them feel warmer than me and other people in the crowd.

 

@bonjourmarlene thank you for the report *__* Always nice reading live reports
