The official =LOVE account (

) posted about their appearance on CDTV Live! Live!, where they performed their upcoming 20th single title track 「劇薬中毒」 (Gekiyaku Chudoku / Poison Addiction) for the first time on TV.

• Performance date: February 16, 2026 (the post was made right after the broadcast)
• Release date: April 1, 2026 (Wednesday)
• MV release planned: March 1, 2026 (Sunday)
• Centers: Double center featuring Noguchi Iori (いおり / Iorin) and Sasaki Maika (舞香 / Maika) — fans are calling it the "Ikarin-gu" (いかりんぐ) duo
• The song has a heavy, addictive love theme with intense lyrics and choreography. Fans describe it as the opposite vibe from their previous track "Natsu Matope" — very dark, dramatic, and "addictive" right away.

The performance used brand-new detailed, frilly costumes, and it generated huge buzz: immediately trending, with fans saying things like "I'm already addicted," "This is god-tier," "My heart won't stop racing," and praising the energy and centers.Additional updates from around the same time:

• The track became available for pre-save / early streaming starting February 17, 2026 (00:00 JST), with a LINE MUSIC campaign running.
• Jacket artwork and new artist photos were also revealed, showing a more mature and intense concept.

Overall, this is building massive excitement ahead of their 8th anniversary tour final at Yokohama Stadium. Fans are already calling it one of their strongest and most addictive songs yet!
