=LOVE revealed they will be dropping a brand new single that will be released October 30. The single does not yet have a name but this news does come shortly after it was announced Hitomi Takamatsu must temporarily suspend her activities due to poor health. 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.
