Nekkyou Launches ≒JOY LINK App for Third LINK Group
The launch is the first new group to receive the LINK app under Nekkyou's own operation after it took over the business from Cosmo in July 2026.
Reporting from 1 source: ASCII.jp.
Nekkyou developed and launched ≒JOY LINK, the official per-member fan club app for idol group ≒JOY, on August 10, 2026. It is the third group in the LINK series after =LOVE and ≠ME. The app runs on iOS, Android, and web. Nekkyou took over the LINK business from Cosmo in July 2026, making this the first new group under its own operation.
≒JOY LINK is built around individual members rather than the group as a whole. The Talk feature delivers daily member updates with photos, video, and audio, and past messages can be read after joining. Letter lets fans send messages directly to members, and Call delivers scheduled voice calls from members at preset times.
Nekkyou, established in June 2026, took over the LINK business from Cosmo in July and announced funding in August. ≒JOY began in March 2022 as the third group produced by Rino Sashihara with Yoyogi Animation Academy, following =LOVE and ≠ME.
