=LOVE (イコールラブ, イコラブ, ikorabu, eqlove)

^ Tokui and Naomi are MCs...
the question is... will they perform at Music Station? I'd say, if the sales are good, they might have a chance.

 

I'm really hoping hard for that to happen. That should bring up some excitement but at the same time, it will start to build some pressure for Sasshi to create a better result for the next single, etc.

 

There will be a debut single release special on SHOWROOM tonight at 7pm JST! All members will appear and Tanaka Natsumi (HKT48) will be MC.

Sasshi wrote the lyrics for all the songs on the single (see picture).

 

^ man, i's so weird and so unprecedented (I think)) that active members of one group teach members of other unrelated group ^^;
but I really =love it)) as always, Sasshi transcends group borders and does things her own unorthodox way.
glad that Sasshi doesn't forget about HKT and provides opportunities and jobs for it's members. it's a win-win for everyone

Natsumikan did a good job as MC, but unfortunately organization from SR staff wasn't up to par :/ they really lacked scary things for "guess what's in the box" game, so the whole middle section was kinda stale. oh well, oh well...
I hope =LOVE will get their own show soon. it doesn't have to be big budget TV show, something like Yonpara would be great for starters, especially since they have a SR tool now.

Do we have lyrics for the other two songs? Can't wait for many years of Sasshi lyrics!

 

Just pre-ordered the debut single! I can't wait for the release aaaaaaaaaaa
Does anyone know if they had already performed their 2 B-sides live?

 

^ yes, they've performed coupling songs at IkouRabuKai a week ago, but there are no video recordings of it, except some short cuts from Abema news.

yes, there are Japanese lyrics, but I think they are written from audio, so there might be inaccuracies. we'll get official lyrics in a few days when the single will go on sale
