Be prepared to raise your penlights and go into the zone with us as YOASOBI blesses our ears with another English version of one of their masterpieces! Since their debut, the duo have always and continuously given us great music. And with that being said, there is no doubt that YOASOBI is the best with their new single about being an ‘Idol’ for the anime series Oshi no Ko‘s opening theme.
YOASOBI’s ‘Idol,’ complementing the anime Oshi no Ko, explores the different facets of being an idol in the Japanese entertainment scene with the use of a bright and catchy tune. And with how legendary that YOASOBI and ‘Idol’ are, it’s no surprise that they reached #1 on Billboard Japan Hot 100.
Last April, YOASOBI released the song in Japanese with a music video, but worry not! This May, they also released the English version of the same title, which you can listen to by tapping here.
Of course, we should not miss this chance for a performance! Stage, already set! Audio, ready! ‘Idol,’ please standby! And you, honeybees, get your cameras ready, because we’re getting snaps of their new single in 3, 2, 1!
