    Wow, this group really exceed my expectation.
    Their debut song is really catchy, and i love the MV especially the beach part.
    My current favorite is Kiara-chan right now.
    Hoping this group will grow bigger and have their own seiyuu gigs.

    Is it just me, or the tune before the chorus sounds like Chain of love??
    I just realized this when i hear the song again.

    no. maybe you mixed =LOVE up with 22/7? I think they had plans for anime from the start.

    Sasshi followed twitter accounts of all =LOVE members

    seems like a lot of Hana's fans are using #花菜まる as a tag on Twitter whenever talking about her. Anyone knows why?

    (Sorry for posting a lot of questions, I'm finally getting into =LOVE)

    It looks like a pretty conservative photo shoot despite the mosaic lol. I think that's good.

    ^ I don't mind those follower rankings (post all you want, I will probably post some rankings myself, this rant is not directed at you ^^; ), it's definitely a piece of information that someone might find interesting/useful, I just like to point out to everyone that in =LOVE it's kinda pointless to compare the girls, since there is no SSK or even senbatsu, so I think it's better not to use 4648 customs and mindset when talking about =LOVE. it's OK to know their popularity trends, but it's better not to look much into it.

    gotta remember Sasshi's words))

    =========

    btw, dancing formation of "=LOVE" is 3-4-5 (Sashiko) [hehe]
    some member in SR said that "Kioku no Dokoka de" still has no choreography.

    =========

    Hanamaru? dunno, probably one of her nicknames

    ==========

    Harugon promotes =LOVE on her Twitter :approve:

    https://twitter.com/Haruka_NKGW10/status/898926220892557314

    two =LOVE members - Hitomi and Maika - were chosen as one of the pretties girls on TIF by two Weekly Playboy staff members!
    HKT was chosen as MVP group by staff member.

    ^ man, I just =love those documentaries))

    finally found the answer. Hanamaru is a nickname for her fans.
    btw, Yamamoto Anna's fans are called AnZoo (杏zoo) and Noguchi Iori's fans are called Ioringu (いおりんぐ)

    ===========

    debut single will be on Power Play on BayFM from 8/28 till 9/17!

    https://twitter.com/Equal_LOVE_12/status/899474921713090560

    ===========

    "=LOVE" exceeded 200k views on Youtube!
    it's currently 2nd in the "playbacks in a day" ranking
    http://idol.dokusyu.net/mv/year

    ========

    RAW photos were sold out
    http://store.emtg.jp/equallove/products/detail.php?product_id=10958

    ==========

    yesterday Yamamoto Anna had a special SR where her aim was to reach 10k views, but she reached 20k views and and even got 25 Tokyo Towers! a record for =LOVE members. she was even moved to tears by it.

    [the link is dead]

    ===========

    another "Easter Eggs" in "=LOVE" MV
    the song starts from 34th (Sashi) second and at 3:45 (Sashiko) mark Hitomi sings about laughing.
    not sure if 34 cm skirt length they said about in Music Station is true or just a joke, though))

    Was Maika a member of Gurumeido before she debuted with =LOVE? Seems like a girl with her name (who looks like Maika imo, but seems like she lost a lot of weight) was active and isn't active there anymore.

    I think that is the first time I saw that dance sensei actually walk out... can't blame her that 'round up' was a mess like the previous two attempts where also!
    I do think I have some favs: those two that went after her first (sorry no names yet).
    Time for part 2: the recovery...

    Notes about Twitter's members

    Asakawa Nana (Super Girls) follows Otani Emiri
    Meru Tashima follows Morohashi Sana, Takamatsu Hitomi and Otoshima Risa
    Murayama Yuiri follows Morohashi Sana.
    Ito Raira (ex HKT48) follows Iori Noguchi, Saito Nagisa and Takamatsu Hitomi
    Haruka Nakagawa follows Saito Nagisa, Takamatsu Hitomi and Otoshima Risa
    Goto Rara follows Takamatsu Hitomi

    Interesting!! I wonder if more member of AKB48 (only Yuiri now) will follow =LOVE's members.

    Of course it is based in my followers, but I follow many people :)

    and NEWS:

    Otani Emiri, Takamatsu Hitomi, Morohashi Sana and Satake Nonno, Hana Oba had a shooting gravure for Young Magazine (Weekly and Monthly):

    Release date for Weekly is 9/16 and for Monthly is 9/20 :D

    the first ones to chase the teacher were Ooba Hana and Morohashi Sana. fans speculate if one of them could become a captain (if there will be a captain)
    Hitomin said in her SR that upcoming episode(s) will be even harsher... :fear:

    Yes I do get the 'leader' vibe from one of them, but sounds like they do not get it together yet in p2 then, more drama!
    They currently are a bunch of out-of-sync people, no were near an idol group.

    ==========

    only 5k till "=LOVE" MV reaches 300k views on Youtube!

    ===========

    lots of fans report that they've lost all or most of their applications to HS event, so this means that at least HS are selling good. but I still hope that they won't increase HS days and will get their profits mostly from concerts, goods and other jobs.
