=LOVE Performs New Song Medley on National TV Following Chart Success

The idol group =LOVE performed a special live medley of their new songs on Fuji TV's "STAR" program today. The performance marked the first national TV broadcast of their new track 'O-hime-sama no Tsukurikata' (How to Make a Princess), the coupling song for their 20th single 'Gekiyaku Chudoku' (Poisonous Drug Addiction).

The group wore the same costumes from their recently concluded 8th Anniversary Premium Tour. The tour's final performances at Yokohama Stadium on April 18 and 19 drew approximately 70,000 attendees.

Their 20th single 'Gekiyaku Chudoku,' released April 1, debuted at number one on both the Oricon and Billboard Japan weekly singles charts. The single has shipped over 489,000 copies. This is the seventh time a =LOVE single has topped both charts.

The group's previous single, 'Tokubechu, Shite' from February 2025, has surpassed 150 million cumulative streams and 2.2 billion total views on TikTok.

=LOVE is scheduled to perform their largest-scale concerts to date at Tokyo's MUFG Stadium (National Stadium) on June 20 and 21. The two-day event is expected to draw around 120,000 fans.

The music videos for both 'Gekiyaku Chudoku' and 'O-hime-sama no Tsukurikata' are available on YouTube.

The 20th single 'Gekiyaku Chudoku' is available in multiple CD editions, priced from 1,100 to 2,500 yen.
