and don't forget about her weekly gaming show with Kiara I=Love Gaming



it's like an AKB's heyday level of busyness!

 

^ wow I'm really happy to see that Maika has so many activities! She's my favorite! I haven't been following =LOVE as closely as I did a few months ago, but I still keep an eye on them, and I'm also watching some of their episodes of "Kimi Wa =Love Wo Aiseru Ka" that are being subbed (only watched 2 so far but there are more that I'll watch). Anyway I'm so happy that Maika became like an "ace" of this group, I wouldn't have expected this in the past, I love it! and she deserves it so much! I'll try to follow her activities a bit... Also the CM was very cute, and it's nice that it was with Hiichan who's my favorite in =ME lol so that CM has my two favorites.

The 15th single has just been revealed at the SSA concert - it's called 'Rasuto nouto [last note] shika shiranai' ('I only know the last note') with Kiara center. The MV was played and then the song was sung live by the members. (I'm watching the Beyond Live stream, I'm not one of the lucky fans who are there. )

EDIT: Kiara has just announced that the MV will be released today at 22:00 JST.

 

The concert was excellent but sadly Beyond Live 1st 20 mins really screwed us up big time ....

Congrats to Kiara

 

Yeah that was shocking, at least we're getting a refund.

Superb concert overall though, Maika singing Haikei Anata-sama and the Shukusai performance with trumpets were my highlights.

 

Here's the new MV:

Yes that was bad, I feared that the whole show would like that but good that it got fixed and we'll get a refund: https://twitter.com/Beyond_LIVE/status/1714604249089478707

Is the concert tomorrow going to be the same as today's? Although even if it is I'd still like to watch it (hopefully without any technical issues).
