LOVE is an idol group produced by Rino Sashihara.
Last month, the 6th anniversary concert “=LOVE 6th ANNIVERSARY PREMIUM CONCERT” was a great success, attracting approximately 28,000 people over two days at Saitama Super Arena, the largest ever, and today marks the 15th concert in total. It has been announced that the latest single “Last Note Only Knows” has reached number 1 on the “Oricon Weekly Single Ranking (as of December 11, 2023)” with its highest first week sales, making it the fifth work in total. .
The group’s 15th single “Last Note Only Shiru Shiru” was released last week on November 29th (Wednesday), and the youngest member Juara Saito served as the center for the title song for the first time, creating a love song depicting a sweet yet dangerous love. Prior to the release of the single, the song was quickly performed on TV Tokyo’s “TV Tokyo 60 Festival! Music Festival 2023” and TBS’s “CDTV Live! Live!”, becoming a trending topic and attracting a lot of attention even before its release. This is the song I was playing. In the latest “Oricon Weekly Single Ranking (as of 12/11/2023)” announced on December 5th (Tuesday), the single “Last Note Dake Shiraishi” debuted at number 1 with sales of 207,000 copies in the first week. The first week’s sales of 207,000 copies exceeded the 180,000 copies of the previous work “Natsumatope”, which reached number 1 on July 31, 2023, marking his highest first week sales. (This is his fifth single to reach number one.)
Juaira Saito, who served as the center for the title song for the first time, said, “I was a lot of nervous as it was my first title song for the center, but I’m very happy that so many people have picked it up like this, and I also feel a little relieved. I want to do my best so that even more people can listen to it!”, he commented on his joy at winning the number one spot in the weekly singles ranking. We’ve also received messages of appreciation for the song, episodes from the time the music video was shot, and messages of gratitude, so be sure to check them out as well.
Gaining momentum, =LOVE has also announced that they will hold the =LOVE Arena Tour 2024 “Tell me what’s more than “LOVE” from February to April next year. We are paying even more attention to =LOVE, which will be running through 2023 with great energy as we approach the end of the year.

Q1. “Last Note Only Ichiru” was ranked in the “Oricon Weekly Single Ranking”.
It achieved first place in first week sales, its highest ever. Please tell us what you think now.
It was my first center title song, so I was a little nervous, but I’m really happy that so many people have picked it up, and I also feel a little relieved. I want to do my best so that more people can listen to it!
Q2. It is a sad love song that is perfect for winter, in contrast to your previous work “Natsumatope”.
Please let us know what you think about the song or if there are any points you would like people to pay attention to.
Love songs that you listen to in winter are great because they make you feel the cold. Even among all of that, when I listen to this song, I feel like I can feel a faint scent nearby, and it feels a little warmer… Please listen to it while walking around the city with twinkling illuminations on a quiet night.
Q3. The MV is a combination of soft and lovely choreography and drama-like personal scenes.
The song expresses a sad worldview, but could you tell us about any episodes or points you were particular about during the filming? The gentle choreography was really nice… The chorus in particular is a dance that feels like it’s wrapped in fragrance, so I was conscious of my fingertips and gaze as I danced. I was very nervous during the drama scenes, so I asked the filming staff for advice and sometimes even made small talk. Thanks to that, I was able to relax while shooting!
Q4. Lastly, please give a message to everyone who picked up your work and everyone who supports you.
Thank you for always listening to “I Only Know the Last Note”! This song is very close to my heart, so I would be really happy if it became a song that is important to everyone! ! Let’s listen a lot together this winter (Heart)
