The beloved idol group =LOVE, produced by the renowned Rino Sashihara, is set to captivate fans with their new variety show titled 'Can You Love =LOVE???', exclusively streaming on FOD. After four successful years of broadcast, the show combines the charm of its members with hilarious skits featuring the comedy duo Shisonnu. Starting October 21, the show will present a unique version that includes never-before-seen footage, promising fans an exciting experience like no other.
Since its pilot episode, 'Can You Love =LOVE???' has been a monthly late-night fixture on Fuji TV, showcasing full performances of their latest hits and entertaining segments with Shisonnu. The upcoming FOD version aims to elevate this experience further, highlighting endearing segments that focus on cuteness - a theme close to the heart of =LOVE's identity. Each episode offers the members a chance to flex their variety skills and engage in light-hearted, girl-group style antics that reflect the fun and vibrant camaraderie among them.
The premiere on October 21 promises a full performance of their latest song 'Attacked by a Love Song'. In a whimsical Halloween-themed episode, =LOVE will challenge themselves in a segment called 'Cute Zombie Owarai', where they will don adorable zombie costumes and engage in comedic storytelling. Additionally, fans can look forward to an exclusive cooking segment titled 'Testing Cute Mashing', where they explore the art of mashing food, all while striving to achieve that perfect taste.
=LOVE members are ecstatic about this new venture. Leader Anna Yamamoto shared her enthusiasm, stating, 'We are thrilled to announce that the 'unseen footage version' of 'Can You Love =LOVE???' will be available. I hope even more people will tune in to enjoy the fun we've created over the past four years. Our various themed projects centered around cuteness will certainly be enjoyable for everyone, along with the delightful chemistry we've developed with Shisonnu. I am excited for viewers across the nation to watch and smile!'
Meanwhile, center member Maika Sasaki expressed her excitement over the show’s availability on FOD, noting the chance to see diverse and sometimes silly sides of =LOVE. 'It's wonderful to think that our colorful and lively antics will be accessible anytime on FOD! Make sure to check out our efforts in pursuing cuteness!'
