Big fan of the song Both songs of ≒JOY are good. I even like Warette Fragile a little bit more than their debut song.

≒JOY's Special Performance will be streamed online !!

UPDATE : 7th Nov
Performance Date: POSTPONED to 30th Nov

Multiple members ( total 8 ) infected with Corona Virus.

summary
After receiving reports of poor physical condition from multiple members,

all members underwent PCR test of which 8 reported to be confirmed positive.

No wonder Yuuka didn't show up on her daily Showroom.
Hope they have a speedy recovery.

I wonder what is Japan's rule ?
Is it now 5 days ?
For E.g in Singapore, if you are tested positive, 7 days of medical leave is given to you.
You can go out after 3 days if your ART test is negative and after 7th day at noon regardless of results.
This means since they tested positive on 6th, they will make it for the Ikonoijoy Sports Festival.

edit : 12th Oct : looks like 6 out of 9 had recovered

wow, that was unexpected!

 

what the… wow.

That's a long trip from the whoa whoa whoa

Edit: if that's actually the debut single I'm all on board.

Edit2: ah, sadly, the video description says it's a coupling for ≠ME's 5th single type C. Well, I'm buying it anyway.

 

Would love for them to continue that sound! Really cool

 

Reminds me of the good old Keyakizaka days...

I still prefer their first song the most but I like the diversity, and it does fit them really well. Konoa's voice positively surprized me!

@sorasan
That's cool, but what is she saying? (For all the non-japanese speakers, including me)

 

Hehe my command of Japanese is very basic but simply put it as ;

~6:45 She's saying Sasshi gave them lots of ririmew products
~6:53 Can anyone send this screenshot to Sasshi
~7:14 praising the product & thanking Sasshi
~7:30 She wanna contact Sasshi but she's pondering if its ok to send her a LINE message, etc
~7:45 Her make up today comprises entirely using ririmew
~8:13 She's amazed Sasshi's social media response is indeed fast, even though Sasshi's so busy,
~8:19 Does Sasshi really sleeps ?, please take care of your health,
~9:18 There are actually TWO Sasshihara ! IZZIT !? ahh that explains ...
~9:34 They should make an AI for Sasshi, coz she's so busy

 

Their latest song surprised me a bit lol it's nice to see them try something different. and I like that Ayumi got some parts in the second half! I usually didn't see her much on their music videos ;_; She's so pretty! (she's probably my favorite member in the group right now). The center is Renon, right? I got a bit confused because of the bob haircut and the hair hiding her face. She looks good like this! (with this hairstyle, she reminds me a lot of...a certain someone...who was rumored to maybe join the group back then *pain* T_T lol).

I also watched some of their YouTube content like the video where they play the "Nanja Monja" game, it was quite funny! and also when they played the "NG Word" game, this was really funny with how they were trying to make each other say the words or do the actions that they couldn't do, and their reactions when it worked XD They're so cute ;w;
