In February, ≒JOY 2nd Anniversary Concert “≒JOY 2nd ANNIVERSARY PREMIUM CONCERT” was held at Tokyo International Forum Hall A to commemorate their 2nd anniversary. It is still fresh in our minds that they were a great success, attracting approximately 8,000 people to their two daytime and evening performances, and today they performed live at the idol event “NIG FES” held at TOKYO DOME CITY HALL.

At the end, everyone performed their first song “≒JOY,” which is filled with the passionate message of “Let’s complete the dream of ≒JOY,”
