=LOVE is an idol group produced by Rino Sashihara.
A special event, “Iko Love Kai vol.17,” to celebrate the release of the 16th single, “Norotte Norotte,” released on Wednesday, March 6, was held today at Yoani LIVE Station. “Iko Love Kai vol.17” is open to those who have purchased the 16th single, “Norotte Norotte,” and only lucky users selected by lottery can participate. It is now a very rare and popular event where you can experience the atmosphere with the members up close, including a live performance and a talk corner.
The event was held in two parts (Part 1 from 15:00 / Part 2 from 18:00), with 200 people invited to each part, for a total of 400 people. In addition to the live performance of four songs, including the three new songs from the single “Norotte Norotte,” there were special corners such as “We’ll Exorcise Your Curse! Equal Love Kaisen!”, where members became sorcerers and exorcised “recent misfortunes (curses)” collected from visitors at the venue, “You’ll be cursed if you get it wrong! Equal Love★Member Quiz!” (Part 1), where members tried out quizzes that members had thought up, which all members should know, but if they get it wrong they’ll be cursed, and a thrilling talk event called “Complete it without anyone finding out! Equal Love★ALONE MISSION!” (Part 2),” where members had to complete a mission that was only told to one member, and the various projects related to the new song titles created a lot of excitement for the visitors.
This is the 17th time that “Iko Love Party” has been held, and it has become a super premium event with a flood of applications. For fans who have not been able to participate, we urge you to apply for the next “Iko Love Party” in order to win.
The first-ever nationwide arena tour, “=LOVE Arena Tour 2024 “Tell me what’s more than “LOVE”” (8 performances in 3 cities), which kicked off on Saturday, February 3rd at Kobe World Memorial Hall in Hyogo, will finally reach its finale on Saturday, April 13th and Sunday, April 14th at Ariake Arena in Tokyo.
