=LOVE (イコールラブ, イコラブ, ikorabu, eqlove)

They are not the ushers that man-handle the fans along, OJS are the 'more respected' that stand guard beside the lines and behind the barricades looking out for the members.

 

interesting that they had dance MVs for couplings songs previously, but now it's a lip scene MV. quite unexpected and very cute. I really like that song.

type A will have an Teokure Caution MV and making and type B will have a summary of =LOVE documentary.

Sasshi and Hyadain writing a song together, that's an interesting concept. Curious what the lyrics are like.

 

We are blessed

lol first day sales already beat best total sales, good progress.

also, I believe I heard news of an Iori gravure coming

OMG those superhero poses!!

 

THOSE POSES!!!

*already snatched one of them! hahaha*

 

OMG half from 100thousand??!!!! Congratulations ikorabu!!! Really proud of the girls, really proud of sasshi, and yash that visual of poses is the cutest.

 

Really well done!! They're becoming more and more popular now~

But I have to say, I personally also consider this their best single to date. I'm really happy with it

Actually quite liking this video, about time they took advantage of Kiara's voice.
Overall looks quite simple but really looked like the girls all had a lot of fun doing this one, everyone had really unique hero stunts
Iori really showing some Otaku style poses with the "run and dodge" and fireball hands
Kiara probably looked a bit too overstyled, takes a bit away from her cuteness
Hana's face I think just works with whatever hairstyle. twintail, ponytail, curls, they all work for her
Nagisa looks so adult in this video I can't recognise her
best looking Risa to date!!

Q: anyone know if someone is working on english translation of the lyrics for this album? or if they already exist could someone share?

 

Yeah, I was planning to translate lyrics.

funny stuff, they did great even without MC.

Think they have a chance at a Music Station performance? The sales should warrant it but maybe it’s still too early.
