Love is the 21st single by Japanese boy band Kis-My-Ft2, released on July 11, 2018, by Avex Trax.[1]

Overview[edit]

The theme of this album is “Marugoto Love Song(The whole thing is a love song.),” and each song in the album is a song about “love” in its various forms.[2]

It was released in three forms: First edition A/B and Regular disc. The DVD of the first edition A includes the music video for “L.O.V.E.” and “Kiss Mai-teki Yuru Sports Championship,” while the DVD of the first edition B includes the music video for “Because I Love You” and the DVD of “Ura Yummy! ~Moments of Another Kiss Matsuso~" will be included. The regular edition include three unit songs. This is the first time in two years that a unit song has been included on a single.[2]

"L.O.V.E." is a commercial song for Kowa's "Unakowa Cool", in which the members appear.[3]"Because I Love You” is a commercial song for Daiichi Kosho Company's "Live Dam Stadium", and is an emotional ballad about her painful feelings of being too young to love as a student. The music video “-Dance Edition-” features dance.[4]

"L.O.V.E." and "Because I Love You" made their television premieres on the July 7, 2018 broadcast of Nippon TV's "THE MUSIC DAY: The Song You Want to Tell" and TBS Television (Japan)'s "COUNT DOWN TV" on the same day, respectively.

Chart performance[edit]

The song reached No. 1 on the Oricon Weekly Chart dated July 23, 2018. This was their 21st consecutive No. 1 ranking on the chart since their debut single “Everybody Go”.[5]

The special single “You & Me” released on April 25, 2018, was sold exclusively on Seven Net, so it is not counted in the Oricon count.
