While it is unclear how long Takamatsu will be out, she is hoping for a swift recovery and to return as soon as possible.

The single will be released in four editions total. Types A, B, and C will be CD with DVD and Type D will be CD-only. Further details have yet to be revealed but pre-orders are already available. You can check out =LOVE’s latest single “Niji no moto” below.
