≒JOY (Nearly Equal Joy) is the “third group” produced by Rino Sashihara, following the idol groups LOVE (Equal Love) and ≠ME (Not Equal Me).

The tour final performance of the ≒JOY Hall Tour 2024 “Kyou Kara Kimi wa Koibito” (8 performances in 4 cities), which started at the Fukuoka Civic Hall Large Hall in Fukuoka Prefecture on Monday, October 14th, will be held today in Chiba Prefecture. Held at Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Center Exhibition Hall. Approximately 8,000 people attended the two performances, “daytime part” and “nighttime part,” which were a great success.The final performance of the tour was filled with a set list filled with JOY’s current moments.

In this report, we will deliver the details of the night session.

The live performance started off with JOY’s first love song, “Hatsukoi Cinderella,” which was included as the title song in their second single released in October, as is tied to the tour title. The LED screens on the stage opened on the left and right, and JOY appeared from behind the screen, singing a fresh and cheerful voice with a smile, captivating the audience from the moment the performance started. Other cheerful idol songs were also played at the beginning of the live performance. The members moved around the venue on trolleys while waving their hands, and performed 360 degrees from the center stage, filling the entire venue with a sense of happiness.

Next was ≒JOY, who displayed a variety of expressive abilities through the unit corner covering songs by =LOVE and ≠ME. After captivating the audience’s attention with a dance performance that included LED visuals, the members changed into new costumes and lined up on stage to cover LOVE’s song “Festival,” which evokes images of medieval Europe and gothic classical music. . The following performance, “Sono wa Exalt,” featured chairs, and in “Rekkuhito,” center performer Rei Ezumi cut through the space on stage with a glowing sword. This powerful live style, which could be said to be the complete opposite from the beginning of the concert, is one of ≒JOY’s true strengths, and the members overwhelmed the audience with their realistic singing and dancing.

In the second half of the concert, the coupling songs “Dadada Datte.” and “Peach Tea and Peach Pie” from their latest single “Hatsukoi Cinderella” were performed. “Dadada, Datte.” is sung by Ayumi Ichihara, Mizuki Oishinda, and Yuka Murayama≒This is JOY’s first unit song, and the three lithely sing a youthful love song that depicts the anxiety and expectations of a love that has just begun. . In “Peach Tea and Peach Pie,” Kyoka Yamada’s first centerpiece song, the lyrics, which link to her feelings for her fans, “I want you to love everything about me,” resonated in a refreshing way. The last spurt block was filled with upbeat songs, and during “Gymnasium Disco,” the members raised the voltage in the venue while swinging fur-covered fans. The main part of the live performance ended with the 1st song “≒JOY”.

As the encore began, ≒JOY used a microphone stand to sing the cheering song “Nevagiba! Ikiro”. In the middle of the song, Esumi declared with a confident expression, “We promise to become the best group that can bring happiness and smiles to everyone!” After that, a special video suddenly appeared on the screen above the stage, and on March 1, 2025, at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium in Tokyo, a concert commemorating the 3rd anniversary of JOY’s formation, “JOY 3rd ANNIVERSARY PREMIUM CONCERT” It has been revealed that there will be two performances, day and night. The members shared their joy with the fans with loud voices and performed “Hatsukoi Cinderella” again at the end of the encore. Leader Manami Ozawa conveyed her love to the fans, saying, “You all are big and treasured among us, and just like that, I hope that ≒JOY’s presence will grow among all of you.” Just when I thought the live performance was going to end, the members who had left the stage reappeared and the live performance turned into a double encore. The girls sang “≒JOY” with full smiles and ended the ≒JOY Hall Tour 2024 “Kyou Kara Kimi wa Koibito” with a cheerful ending.
