≒JOY (Nearly Equal Joy) is the third idol group produced by Rino Sashihara, following =LOVE (Equal Love) and ≠ME (Not Equal Me). Their 4th single, 'Denwabango Oshiete!', released last month in February, recorded a personal best of over 300,000 copies shipped. On March 13th last month, they successfully held their long-awaited 4th-anniversary concert, '≒JOY 4th ANNIVERSARY PREMIUM CONCERT', at the Nippon Budokan, showing massive breakthroughs.

Today, the digital streaming of two new songs, 'Bokutachi no Uta' and 'Nonfiction', which were premiered at the '≒JOY 4th ANNIVERSARY PREMIUM CONCERT', has started.

The new song 'Bokutachi no Uta', with Renon Esumi serving as the center, is a song of hope filled with gratitude and determination for the future, reaffirming the bond between ≒JOY and their fans as they push forward together toward many big dreams. The other new song, 'Nonfiction', is a unit track featuring six members: Jurii Aida, Aoi Onishi, Manami Ozawa, Mai Takahashi, Riko Fujisawa, and Kyoka Yamada, with Manami Ozawa as the center. It is a youthful love song that sings about straightforward and frustrating life-sized romance, wondering how to convey these feelings to you.

In addition to the 4th single 'Denwabango Oshiete!' released in February, we hope you will check out these two new songs early and keep a close eye on ≒JOY's future activities.

Furthermore, the full live version of 'Bokutachi no Uta' (from the 4th ANNIVERSARY PREMIUM CONCERT) is also available on their official YouTube channel, so please be sure to watch it as well.
