if you had told me that Youtuber loved Iori as well I would've watched it so much sooner.

 

it appears that Aikatsu Happy End will be an ending song for anime after all! but instead of "Aikatsu" it'll be for Hashire Tsuzukete Yokatta-tte - an anime where Iori will be main voice actress!
what's more - Sasshi isn't lyricist for this song! HoneyWorks wrote lyrics, composed music and did arrangement!
this decides it then - Sasshi produces =LOVE as idols and Yoani as voice actresses.

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

the promos for 4th single have started! they will appear in lots of magazines
as expected Mirinya will be in most of them. looks like her modeling career is going smoothly

some fun game - guess =LOVE members by their body parts
I guessed 9 out of 10 right and for the question I guessed wrong my second option was right, so I guess I got 9.5 points

today =LOVE performed at Inazuma Rock Fes!

backstage interview and performance

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

members talk about coupling song Aikatsu Happy End
apparently, HoneyWorks is a famous group with millions of views and subscribers on Youtube so it's a big chance for =LOVE to get more famous!

the live performance dance version of Want You! Want You! is really nice. I think it actually showcases some of the girls even better than past songs.
even though they aren't center for this, both Iori and Sana's parts in this song/dance really lets them stand out more than Kioku
even though she has her own song already, Naatan's cuteness is a lot more in this song/dance, she has quite a distinct voice in this song and almost every part of the song that she sings is just so cute
the way the 2 Saitos to do the little Kyun Kyun parts of the song is just too cute
I do think though that Hitomi's costume is a bit too frilly, frills are quite a theme with this single's uniform but perhaps a bit overdone on Hitomi's, makes her look perhaps larger than she really is, luckily she has cuteness boost from high ponytail

Japan weather must be cooling down,the girls don't appear to be sweating as badly on this recent performance, which leads me to wonder.......will there be a winter version of this uniform? there was a suitable winter uniform for seifuku last time so worked out great before.
there was a modified uniform for Teokure Caution to help with the hot summer, so there should be a modified uniform for the cold winter too? would be a bigger challenge this time I imagine, Teokure Caution's uniform was relatively simple compared to this one.
Should've perhaps released Want You! Want You! in the summer and Teokura Caution in the winter LOL

 

Phew, got it at the moment it was deleted.....

@8:36 loved the reaction when Saito Nagisa made a mistake hehehe. Sicne they sang live, you can hear the mistake

 

^ yeah, Naatan's mistake was funny)) yesterday wasn't her day - she also felt down before backstage interview ^^;
and poor Shoko with her beret troubles ^^;

I hope someone will reupload it soon.

I doubt there will be a winter version of that uniform. they will probably perform indoors in winter anyway.

today they had a "mini live + HS" event at Abeno Q's Mall, Osaka
the weather was sunny, so the lighting was great and cameko did tons of great photos as always

I feel like there needs to be some sorta archive somewhere with all these links to their performances so that if people wanted to go back and watch these they didn't have to find the specific page in this thread to get to it
I still go back from time to time to show people that mountain climbing series as well as the taiwan dumpling video

I imagine the wiki page would be a nice place to keep them but not sure if there's really a neat way to archive them

 

^ I doubt wiki is a proper place to store links to videos, but it can be achieved on any free site-constructor from google sites, to wordpress, to wix, etc. - they are more than enough for simple pages like that. as for storing videos... multiple free accounts on Mega is probably the best option.
