The gothic opera that plays in the background with the cheerful cute singing is such a bop. Really shows the dark undertones of the supposed sparkling surface of the entertainment industry. Such a great song! It definitely became one of my faves.
Idols are a lie and being an adult fan means you liked being lied to. But what about those who cannot think for themselves yet and see idols as real pure fantasy beings of cuteness, mainly kids. It is just so sad to see to people love idols and even promulgate their growth when the idol industry is literally of the most brutal industries ever. It's no big secret that failed idols mostly turn to JAV stars to help out with the finances that were used on them to try and boost their career. Young girls go through rigorous training and they literally sacrifice everything for even just a chance of fame. Idols are just a pity and I just have to silently shake my head at people who genuinely support this kind of thing since the cycle just viciously continues and for every supposedly happy young star on stage, how many more are cast out with nothing but their pretty face and slender bodies to rely on since they basically gave up everything on this dream of theirs.. An idol's life, I certainly do not envy them. Fame always has a price but it's especially a bit more brutal for JP idols considering how their culture works. But hey, it's big money so I guess that always makes thing work out in the end right?
@@mblade01 It is sad indeed. I don't know much about idols, since I'm really not a fan of them but based from what you said, it is definitely not as happy and purely full of smiles as it's presented to be. Which is heartbreaking. It is a toxic culture, an industry that sells lies to the fans who wishes to have their twisted fantasies fulfilled. It's a scary and foreign world for those of us who are not familiar with it.
@@alfidhia I see But in the idea of the series Ai Hoshino just wanted to be an idol and a mother of of her own family But she lives in world that is made of lies As the fans and idol industry doesn't like idols to have and sort of personal life of their own Which is sad as we all want to have a personal life of our own But the the so called "Pure and Innocent" look that idols are required by the fans and the industry sorts of robs them of having a family of them their, especially if they ever want a boyfriend or a husband at all I ununderstand where this comes from These idol are kind of the main thing that gives of that the girls in this industry will be this "Pure and Innocent" girl forever Forgetting that they are as human as we are and they have a desire to build their own family that have personal relationships with their husband or boyfriend Or even entertaining the idea of having any children of their own Which is sad in my opinion But changing this perspective of these fans and the industry players is nearly impossible though as they are only allowed to be the character that are allowed by their managers and colleagues that will keep these idols this way so that fans will think that their so called Oshsi is forever like this Which just purely fantasy that has been brought into reality by the companies as they want to milk the fans of their money and to stock home into a culture that can be toxic in the first place And issues like not having a personal family at despite these idols being in their teenage years It really stops them from growing as a person and makes them a symbol of their company to make a profit instead of giving idols the salary they truly deserve as they are the ones that allows these idol companies to exist in the first place I might add😅
That dramatic chanting gives me goosebumps. “You’re my savior; you’re my saving grace” is an apt representation of how, for some people, idols have literally saved their lives. That’s a big responsibility to put on anyone, let alone a fake personality whose only duty is to perform well enough to keep up with the limelight. Then the droning in the background gives the song an ominous tone. The “oi/hey” in the background is audible, but comparatively faded. There are always eyes on you cheering for your success-or failure-as an idol. This song is awesome. So much wordplay and treats to analyze, haha.
@@jhonkylerosales4158 the most disturbing part is not the music produced by Yoasobi but your comment with capitals in every first alphabet on every words
Saw the MV for this song=cried Saw the first ep=cried and devastated Finally read what the lyrics said=destroyed Love Oshi No Ko, cried too much to this series today 😭❤
Saw the trailer - weird babies, not watching Saw spoilers on yt - hell yeah Saw ep 1 - devastated and traumatized by its art Couldn’t help but binge read the manga - I want MORE
What I love about the ending is that the “I love you” isn’t necessarily directed to a lover of sorts, but to her children. It gives more personal feelings from Ai rather than a simple love song.
I love how this song is so much than just some crazy beat and voices. It tells us about Ai's secrets that she keeps hiding and her lies. Everyone asks ger questions regarding love and else, but her answer is always that she isn't interested, but in actual reality she does not realise what love actually is. We also get a taste of backbiting by other b kamochi stars that are jealous of Ai's fame.
Oh, and o forgot that this song also tells us that Ai herself admitted that she lies when she says, "I Love You". That is fake, but for her real form of love. She also tells that she wants to be actually loved.
The first verse and the chorus are ruby and aqua 's perspective The second verse is the stalker' s perspective And the last verse is Ai's perspective Really smart and suitable lyrics Edit : 1k likes O___O mom.. I'm famous.
The lyrics actually reference a short story that Aka Akasaka wrote specifically for this song. The story is called 45510 (spoiler to episode 2 or 3: it was Ai's phone password) and it is about an ex-member of B-komachi who finds an old interview of Ai that a fan reuploaded online. The first verse references how she skillfully dodged most questions in the interview, creating an aura of mystery to protect her private life while mixing some truth into it (for example, dodging the question about her type of man by saying she did not know what it was like to love). The second verse is about the rest of the group's jealousy against her. Despite this, deep down even her fellow idol who watches the interview could not help seeing her as the ideal idol, which is referenced in the chorus. The last verse, is the only part that does not come from 45510 and it is indeed Ai's perspective, most of it directly quotes chapters 8 and 9, which are Ai's flashback and her death.
yea but I feel like from 1:19 to 1;30 her formal group mates or to 1:39 but I feel like blue is stalker though are bc It was even said in beginning that Ai was more liked and popular then her team mates but I'm not saying they had something with murder(but there is a chance)are her formal group matesher formal group mates or to 1:39 but I feel like blue is stalker though are bc It was even said in beginning that Ai was more
This is a new breakthrough in the anime industry, the visuals and music are very good and the harmony is really beyond expectations. I love Oshi no Ko ❤
It a start of a new era, where the context are well fed before the journey of the series unlike the typical formula of old anime where they'll throw random logics or flings in the anime and throw the context on how things come about at the end. Here its all thrown in but with still a bit of mystery where u can't rlly predict what's gonna happen next.
I simply just adore this song for its essence of modern music, highlighting its relevance to the present, weighing down the reality of the entertainment industry whilst deftly telling the tale of a girl who stands in it accompanied by the thoughts of those around her and her own's. Everything starts off with a percussion, demanding the viewer: "Look at me. I am the performer. I am the star." alongside a rap that perfectly summarizes our subject at hand. A shining star that everyone wants to know everything about, down to her every flaw, ended with what she truly is. A perfect human being built upon lies labeled as an idol. Then comes the short choir, signifying the tone of her reality. Analyzing its surface, some might interpret it as "heavenly," "majestic," or "radiant." But the perceptive will interpret it as "dark," "cold," and "hellish." Similar to how people are separated on how they perceive the entertainment industry. Using it as a bridge, the song continues off with asking the idol's preferences then slipping in her mastery to dodge questions with the same choir in the background concluded by asking what and who is her partner in an insistent tone. Which she responds by saying such concepts like "loving someone" is foreign to her, which she goes by once more again in her daily life and serves as the introduction to our idol's beliefs. The chorus comes, and she is at the center of the spotlight. She is the icon, she is the legend, and she is the moment. The paragon of perfection, one which will never be seen ever again. The rebirth of the star whose smile shines so bright everyone who gazes upon it falls for it and draws attention to it. Even if her image is a lie, her love stays perfect. The next verse shows a clear change of tune, the distorted singing of the lyrics just reeks of negativity. Hatred, disdain, disgust, repulsion, and envy. The lyrics clearly stating that these words are her peers', words seen from their abhorred eyes that easily see her imperfection but could do nothing but accept the reality that she is better than them. The next chorus comes, and this time it depicts her perceived character. One of unparalleled strength, one without flaw, and one of being absolutely unique. This image of her in their minds, is true love. Now, the idol's thoughts are laid bare. Her true secret, her most precious ones, and her lies are her best forms of love. And the only love she'd ever known. The sentimental tone of the piano arrives which highlights her loneliness, which then slowly returns to being upbeat, accepting herself, and continues living daily hoping she'd truly know what it means to love someone someday. At last, the ending of her tale comes, she finally understands the true meaning of love, one without lie, one without deception, and one without facade. Our idol finally managed to say "I love you" from the bottom of her heart. As the curtains close, a happy beat accompanied by cheers is heard, but is ultimately ended with the same choirs heard from earlier with chants of looming dread, almost saying as if this story has not reached its end yet. *_"You're my savior, my true savior, my saving grace."_*
@@blueberrueI no this is late but personally think it's both, neither fan nor idol can truly love each other. Actual pure love because it's transactional, in the fans eyes as long as she is "mine" and for her as long as their eyes on "me" kinda thing. She demands your attention and you demand hers.
I just love this song lmao From how it portrays idols as simply as manipulators (unlike in other depictions where they were portrays as "victims), how they feed off and fed their fans with lies, how the fans reacts and worshipped them to such degree. And as the cherry on top, i love how the song is sang sarcasticaly as well, as if they 'mocked' us with "yeah this environment is incredibly toxic and dangerous, but fuck it anyway lmao"
seriously, i never thought this idol shit was real, well not that i care any ways, but still, idol worshiping? that's the first time i have heard of such a thing
@@Obliviousovertimer17 I have this habit, whenever I think “no way someone like that exists”, I always end thinking “nah the world is big, someone must surely have done that”, whatever it’s in the past or present they exist. Also since the world is connected trough technology, be it from comments, divulged stories or news, I know lots of horrendous stuff happens out there. The idol industry really is tough, news about harassed stars are all over the place, and deranged fans exist
Knowing how the story plays out this lyrics are so so so smart and witty. Word play is on point as well as how the song progresses it begins uncover little by little. It truly does feel like something that Ai would say it is just perfect!
Fuck. Just, I don't even have words to describe how well this songs fits AI and the very first arc of the series. And those final lines... You can feel the love that went into this series but specially into this song.
@@frostsmaker8966 There's lots of custom made songs specifically done for a series especially if its music related. And the budget aint joking for that. Gundam WFM OP was also custom made , as for love is war I don't know but it fits so well XD. But yeah it's not common for non music related series to have that.
I was about to say, this 3:33 song wrapped up an hour and a half of anime. If you watch the first episode and listen and understand this song, it feels like you've rewatched the pilot its sooo good.
This brings me back to the old days of anime where characters would have image songs sung by the VA that talked about their emotions/personality. Basicslly painting an 'image' of that character. This is a perfect image song of Ai.
the lyrics are genius. the first part of the song is from the pov of a fan, then pov of the fellow idols or stars in the entertainment industry then the last part is ai hoshino’s pov…. and i like the fact that they sneakily added aqua and ruby and called ai called herself maria in the song, maria being the latinised form of mary, a mother.
@@Subash2447 maybe autotune made her voice sounds different to suit the anime. because some part is really sounds as her actual voice in other song (lower tone rap part)
Also the "I am Maria" is described Ai perfectly; Mary means star of the sea good interpretation of Ai's character bcs she is a star, the most popular idol and an actress. I mean look at her eyes litterally has sea of stars. It associated as "beloved" and "wished for child".
For those here who are kpop/jpop fans, can you IMAGINE how heavy watching this show will be for idols? They're the only ones truly able to relate to it
This song is really have deeper meaning. There are either 3 or 2 perspective in this song and props to Yoasobi to make the song somewhat related to the story. This is what happened when the Author takes a part in everything that are relating to his work
I like how the style of the song is very different from their other ones like the starting of the song is just plopped to you like there's no start start it alr started, I didn't believe this was the full song when the starting was like that but I have come to accept that this song is just super different from the other songs in the world
This. This genius. This is so clever i actually don't know how to define it, but, it's so THERE, i don't think people will know what i mean, but the song's lyrics and the story, it's connected. It's just there, irdk how to explain it myself. It's just so dang good wth
After reading the meaning of the song, I immediately fell in love with this opening. The song gives us a happy and cheerful vibes when hearing it, but if you look deeply into the lyrics it's actually quite dark. Similar to how we look at idols and thought "omg being an idol is so great, they're always happy and smiling, I'm so jealous" When in reality being an idol is not as easy as you think. The cheerful lyrics mix with dark lyrics conveyed that beautifully. In the middle of the song, suddenly the melody becomes darker and the voice sound twisted as they sing a more "obvious" Dark lyrics. That part bring me chills. In the end of the song we got to hear Ai's last words before she died. "Aah I finally say it, this time it's definitely not a lie, I love you" This song is perfect, the cheerful theme, the melody, the way the singer sang it, boi this op had become my number 1 best anime op
Fun fact: Ai Hoshino’s first name- Ai, also means love in Japanese. so the verse in 2:04 “That’s what makes a real Ai” Can also mean thats what makes a real love” 😮
It actually depends on how you write it. I feel like since it sounds like that same other word, it's like the singer says indeed "This is the true love", but the lyrics say otherwise, as "This is the true Ai". It's like a phonetic illusion, a lie. Which is quite a genius work for a character like Ai who always lies to share her love.
This song has the characteristics of yaosobi songs and have the vibes of oshi no ko's story this is perfect. There's some lines that telling about ai's personality and feeling and that's makes me teared up
Man, I'm just so glad Yaosobi is finally having a big break because of this anime , I've been a fan since 2 years after listening to Beastars and listening to their playlists till this day.

The anime made me cry in the first episode. The lyrics truly break my heart , especially the end . This song definitely shows an emphasis on how Ai was truly a cheerful carefree character. She had the character the epitome of a bright star . It's sad that I won't be able to see her in the future episodes of the anime .
fun fact: there is a part in the song's lyrics where it says honmono no Ai can mean "true Ai" and also "true love" and it makes sense cause the "true Ai"(the name) is what Ai is describing as what she should be while "true Ai/Love"(the word) is about her whole schpiel with lying and how she can't show true love. :)
** Spoiler People been saying this song is about how idols decieve their fans, But far from truth, this song screams how AI HOSHINO see IDOLS. She doesn't understand love but she knows she is longing for love in her life. She created a perfect idol persona in order to make the fans feel loved. But she knows all of it is a lie because she herself doesn't know what love is. Starving herself to death, training everyday, and pretend to smile just to create the perfect bright idol just to be loved by fans. Hoping one day she understand what love is. Good to know before her death she finally realized what it feels to love something.
Great work. I really appriciate it. One correction: 0:46 Here AI is the one that's making one more guy fall in love with her by words no one knows if they are true or not. Not the other way around. I really like this song and I think this is the coolest part so I wanted to correct it. I hope this helps :)
I can't... This has got to be my fave Anime, Manga and Anime intro!!! I Love Ai, Aqua, Ruby and I cried so much reading the manga, watching the anime and listening to this!!! YOASOBI did an amazing job!! Ahhh!!! I'm Crying again...
It goes soooo freaking well 🥺 when the song is specifically made for the person.. I could see flashes of her life back story in all the lyrics.. Hoshino Ai will be missed forever ❤️
i thought it was just another nice yoasobi song, but when i read "I've never been loved by anyone, i've never loved anyone" made me cry because i know how ai struggle to know what love is
the last few lines were enough to make me bawl my eyes out. i just finished the first ep of the anime (4/13/23) and when she said that, i started crying aha. but it's really good so far! can't wait for more episodes (the next one is estimated to air 1 day before my birthday so i'll consider it an early birthday present! :> )
I just watched the first episode last night, and I can tell you the same. I cried nonstop for hours (eventually crying myself to sleep) after seeing THAT scene 😢. Anyways, I’m all caught up now. Can’t wait for episode 4 next week
"Maria" is synonymous with the so-called Virgin Mary. The non-religious Japanese perception of Mary is closest to that of Catholics. I think it has a strong meaning of a mother who gave birth to the Son of God. Ruby, on the other hand, says (perhaps jokingly) in the story, "Ai was conceived as a virgin." The use of the word "Maria" was probably influenced by Ruby's statement. *I'm using a translation tool, so there may be some problems with the wording.
I love this song !!!! Btw the vocals in the background are amazing, it gives me a vibe of a dramatic and horrific adventure, the opposite of the first impression you can have (if you watched the first episode you know). A masterpiece, really ! Thank you for the video ! ❤
The song and the anime of oshi no ko has a meaning on not just the dark side of idol entertainment but also another message on internet culture as a whole I know that the series tackles the dark reality of idol entertainment industry and majority of the entertainment industry But I like that it also tackles the horror and mental issues of Internet culture + online communities and how it effects on actors/ actresses mentality. Plus, how internet culture has become more toxic with reactionaries youtubers and people posting their opinion without understanding their own actions effect others (cancel culture, Twitter, etc.) It never takes sides and I like that it shows both the horrors and problems with both side
The operatic singing is saying: "Oh my savior, oh my saving grace." For the first line, and then the longer one is: "Why didn't you save her, my saving grace? I will be forever by your side forever." Which I think is only in the opening for some reason.
I mean .... The lyrics ... Just daaaamn .. Why it has to be so tragic! those lines with their names .. all those words about love and lies .. "Finally , I can say it ....this is definitely not a lie ..I love you~ ." No, not at all why would I EVEN CRY ABOUT THEM!!
When I think about it again, Ai Hoshino is just a female japanese idol version of Alexander Hamilton. The way that they both were orphan children who never been loved but still had the ambition for a bright future and becoming famous figures to the public and changed the world in their own ways. And they both died pretty young too.

@@sanchit6107 it's a valid thing to point out
I'll add
1:02 - Not really an error, but 金輪際現れない (konrinzai arawarenai), it's kinda a phrase to say "You'll never appear again for eternity", (basically saying Ai is so special that people like her will never ever appear again)
1:04 - Just something to add, 一番星 in this song does not translate literally to "first star", it's a phrase to say "Goddess Venus" which is God of Love (which fits to Ai)
1:08 - I think should be "With that smile, and how you say "I love you", makes everyone captivated to you"
1:29 - Translation error, I think it should be "We are all like a shadow to her, right? Nah, that's corny, there's no way I don't hold envy or jealousy, This isn't a joke, that's why I cannot forgive you, I cannot forgive the you who aren't perfect, I can't forgive myself, I won't acknowledge the you who aren't stronger than anyone else” (Debatable btw, maybe I am too focused on my self interpretation)

よく分かってるじゃないか
I literally came just to comment the same thing. God, that hurts so much, it's so hard to forget that phrase
Don't spoil to non-manga readers
"Ai" means "love" and also exists in "Ai-dol"
She never experienced love as an idol, but finally can say "i love you" to Aqua and Ruby
😭😭😭
Ai also means 'Mother' in my language
Hoshi also means "wants", Ai hoshi(no) = Wants love(d)
@@alfidhia this hurts even more now😭
@@alfidhia I see
But in the idea of the series
Ai Hoshino just wanted to be an idol and a mother of of her own family
But she lives in world that is made of lies
As the fans and idol industry doesn't like idols to have and sort of personal life of their own
Which is sad as we all want to have a personal life of our own
But the the so called "Pure and Innocent" look that idols are required by the fans and the industry sorts of robs them of having a family of them their, especially if they ever want a boyfriend or a husband at all
I ununderstand where this comes from
These idol are kind of the main thing that gives of that the girls in this industry will be this "Pure and Innocent" girl forever
Forgetting that they are as human as we are and they have a desire to build their own family that have personal relationships with their husband or boyfriend
Or even entertaining the idea of having any children of their own
Which is sad in my opinion
But changing this perspective of these fans and the industry players is nearly impossible though as they are only allowed to be the character that are allowed by their managers and colleagues that will keep these idols this way so that fans will think that their so called Oshsi is forever like this
Which just purely fantasy that has been brought into reality by the companies as they want to milk the fans of their money and to stock home into a culture that can be toxic in the first place
And issues like not having a personal family at despite these idols being in their teenage years
It really stops them from growing as a person and makes them a symbol of their company to make a profit instead of giving idols the salary they truly deserve as they are the ones that allows these idol companies to exist in the first place I might add😅

Love Oshi No Ko, cried too much to this series today 😭❤
Oshi No ko is a masterpiece
@@bhsguestberkner4982 yup
Saw the trailer - weird babies, not watching
Saw spoilers on yt - hell yeah
Saw ep 1 - devastated and traumatized by its art
Couldn’t help but binge read the manga - I want MORE
well then dont read chapter 65 of the manga it will destroy
especially the 3 last lines 😭😭😭😭
What I love about the ending is that the “I love you” isn’t necessarily directed to a lover of sorts, but to her children. It gives more personal feelings from Ai rather than a simple love song.
But what hurts the most a lot that line is: She actually really meant it this time 😢
yeah in the last breath of her life she finally found the true meaning of love 😭😭😭
Meaning to that last part hits hard

Such an underrated comment🥲
I love how this song is so much than just some crazy beat and voices.
It tells us about Ai's secrets that she keeps hiding and her lies. Everyone asks ger questions regarding love and else, but her answer is always that she isn't interested, but in actual reality she does not realise what love actually is.
We also get a taste of backbiting by other b kamochi stars that are jealous of Ai's fame.
Oh, and o forgot that this song also tells us that Ai herself admitted that she lies when she says, "I Love You". That is fake, but for her real form of love.
She also tells that she wants to be actually loved.
Cool part of this song is that it references Aqua and Ruby
@@staz3503 no shit
@@nijuhinaa ha
@@staz3503 okay mr. obvious
Yeah, they also included Maria
@@mikan_. it's cool that they referenced their conversation about immaculate birth in the manga
The first verse and the chorus are ruby and aqua 's perspective
The second verse is the stalker' s perspective
And the last verse is Ai's perspective
Really smart and suitable lyrics
Edit : 1k likes O___O
mom.. I'm famous.
Second verse is closer to her colleagues' POV i think
The lyrics actually reference a short story that Aka Akasaka wrote specifically for this song. The story is called 45510 (spoiler to episode 2 or 3: it was Ai's phone password) and it is about an ex-member of B-komachi who finds an old interview of Ai that a fan reuploaded online. The first verse references how she skillfully dodged most questions in the interview, creating an aura of mystery to protect her private life while mixing some truth into it (for example, dodging the question about her type of man by saying she did not know what it was like to love). The second verse is about the rest of the group's jealousy against her. Despite this, deep down even her fellow idol who watches the interview could not help seeing her as the ideal idol, which is referenced in the chorus.
The last verse, is the only part that does not come from 45510 and it is indeed Ai's perspective, most of it directly quotes chapters 8 and 9, which are Ai's flashback and her death.
the part about being side characters for ai is other b-komachi members perspective and the part about being unable to forgive ai is the stalker
So first verse is the people close to ai perspectives
Second is the most of the world
Then ai herself
yea but I feel like from 1:19 to 1;30 her formal group mates or to 1:39 but I feel like blue is stalker though are bc It was even said in beginning that Ai was more liked and popular then her team mates but I'm not saying they had something with murder(but there is a chance)are her formal group matesher formal group mates or to 1:39 but I feel like blue is stalker though are bc It was even said in beginning that Ai was more
This is a new breakthrough in the anime industry, the visuals and music are very good and the harmony is really beyond expectations. I love Oshi no Ko ❤
It a start of a new era, where the context are well fed before the journey of the series unlike the typical formula of old anime where they'll throw random logics or flings in the anime and throw the context on how things come about at the end. Here its all thrown in but with still a bit of mystery where u can't rlly predict what's gonna happen next.
The Japs already made some breakthroughs in the Jap anime industry lol
2:13
I just love that part especially how it starts with "this is my own style of love(Ai)"...
Then shows how each characters are related to her...
I simply just adore this song for its essence of modern music, highlighting its relevance to the present, weighing down the reality of the entertainment industry whilst deftly telling the tale of a girl who stands in it accompanied by the thoughts of those around her and her own's.
Everything starts off with a percussion, demanding the viewer: "Look at me. I am the performer. I am the star." alongside a rap that perfectly summarizes our subject at hand. A shining star that everyone wants to know everything about, down to her every flaw, ended with what she truly is. A perfect human being built upon lies labeled as an idol. Then comes the short choir, signifying the tone of her reality. Analyzing its surface, some might interpret it as "heavenly," "majestic," or "radiant." But the perceptive will interpret it as "dark," "cold," and "hellish." Similar to how people are separated on how they perceive the entertainment industry.
Using it as a bridge, the song continues off with asking the idol's preferences then slipping in her mastery to dodge questions with the same choir in the background concluded by asking what and who is her partner in an insistent tone. Which she responds by saying such concepts like "loving someone" is foreign to her, which she goes by once more again in her daily life and serves as the introduction to our idol's beliefs.
The chorus comes, and she is at the center of the spotlight. She is the icon, she is the legend, and she is the moment. The paragon of perfection, one which will never be seen ever again. The rebirth of the star whose smile shines so bright everyone who gazes upon it falls for it and draws attention to it.
Even if her image is a lie, her love stays perfect.
The next verse shows a clear change of tune, the distorted singing of the lyrics just reeks of negativity. Hatred, disdain, disgust, repulsion, and envy. The lyrics clearly stating that these words are her peers', words seen from their abhorred eyes that easily see her imperfection but could do nothing but accept the reality that she is better than them.
The next chorus comes, and this time it depicts her perceived character. One of unparalleled strength, one without flaw, and one of being absolutely unique. This image of her in their minds, is true love.
Now, the idol's thoughts are laid bare. Her true secret, her most precious ones, and her lies are her best forms of love. And the only love she'd ever known. The sentimental tone of the piano arrives which highlights her loneliness, which then slowly returns to being upbeat, accepting herself, and continues living daily hoping she'd truly know what it means to love someone someday.
At last, the ending of her tale comes, she finally understands the true meaning of love, one without lie, one without deception, and one without facade.
Our idol finally managed to say "I love you" from the bottom of her heart.
As the curtains close, a happy beat accompanied by cheers is heard, but is ultimately ended with the same choirs heard from earlier with chants of looming dread, almost saying as if this story has not reached its end yet.
*_"You're my savior, my true savior, my saving grace."_*
Holy you cooked with this one. Actual poetry.
Can i ask smth?? "Buildiya career on a lie that says "i love you" does that line mean the fans saying i love you or the idol saying i love you?
I LOVE YOU FRFR❤
@@blueberrueI no this is late but personally think it's both, neither fan nor idol can truly love each other. Actual pure love because it's transactional, in the fans eyes as long as she is "mine" and for her as long as their eyes on "me" kinda thing. She demands your attention and you demand hers.
I just love this song lmao
From how it portrays idols as simply as manipulators (unlike in other depictions where they were portrays as "victims), how they feed off and fed their fans with lies, how the fans reacts and worshipped them to such degree.
And as the cherry on top, i love how the song is sang sarcasticaly as well, as if they 'mocked' us with "yeah this environment is incredibly toxic and dangerous, but fuck it anyway lmao"
Yeah like deep down those bunny suits full of fluff are just people who are empty and are trying to find something
seriously, i never thought this idol shit was real, well not that i care any ways, but still, idol worshiping? that's the first time i have heard of such a thing
@@Obliviousovertimer17 I have this habit, whenever I think “no way someone like that exists”, I always end thinking “nah the world is big, someone must surely have done that”, whatever it’s in the past or present they exist. Also since the world is connected trough technology, be it from comments, divulged stories or news, I know lots of horrendous stuff happens out there. The idol industry really is tough, news about harassed stars are all over the place, and deranged fans exist
@@Obliviousovertimer17 It's very real I suggest looking up the Stabbing of Mayu Tomita.
@@sebastianmichael5819 well you are right
Knowing how the story plays out this lyrics are so so so smart and witty. Word play is on point as well as how the song progresses it begins uncover little by little.
It truly does feel like something that Ai would say it is just perfect!
Fuck. Just, I don't even have words to describe how well this songs fits AI and the very first arc of the series.
And those final lines...
You can feel the love that went into this series but specially into this song.
The song is a custom-made song, it is rare to see that kind of song.
Well, Attack on Titan had so many custom-made songs and I agree with that.
@@frostsmaker8966 Frfr, ReZero also had a bunch of insert songs for the characters that fit so well
@@frostsmaker8966 There's lots of custom made songs specifically done for a series especially if its music related. And the budget aint joking for that. Gundam WFM OP was also custom made , as for love is war I don't know but it fits so well XD. But yeah it's not common for non music related series to have that.
I was about to say, this 3:33 song wrapped up an hour and a half of anime. If you watch the first episode and listen and understand this song, it feels like you've rewatched the pilot its sooo good.
D@@imhappy._. so good yet so sa 😢. Especially the scene where she died
This brings me back to the old days of anime where characters would have image songs sung by the VA that talked about their emotions/personality. Basicslly painting an 'image' of that character. This is a perfect image song of Ai.
噓じゃない 愛してる （usojanai aishiteru） hits different, because she talking to her children (It's not lie, I love you) in the end of the music 😢
Wholesome.😢
Yes finally the full version is out! I've been obsessing over this song for weeks 😂😂 THANK YOU
Genius songwriting by Yoasobi.
the lyrics are genius. the first part of the song is from the pov of a fan, then pov of the fellow idols or stars in the entertainment industry then the last part is ai hoshino’s pov…. and i like the fact that they sneakily added aqua and ruby and called ai called herself maria in the song, maria being the latinised form of mary, a mother.
Fr
THE VOCALS OF THIS SONG ARE MAGICAL
Yoasobi never stops making songs that are equally delightful and terrifying at the same time.
Right? So good yet so dark at the same time
2:24 "Singing, dancing, and spinning, I am Maria" that line goes way too hard
Of course, the Virgin Mary had a virgin birth.
@@shion2085_bluerider That last part made me tear up after the first episode. She really only wanted to love everyone and to be truly loved.😢
IKURA RAPPING OMG!!!! I didn’t know she could rap?!?! She can do anything fr, YOASOBI IS SO AMAZING 😭😭🩷
Also her singing style is different from usual which is nice
@@Subash2447 YES, first time hearing it I was like “nah, it couldn’t be ikura” until i saw the ending of the MV
She actually has quite a few rap songs.
@@Subash2447 maybe autotune made her voice sounds different to suit the anime. because some part is really sounds as her actual voice in other song (lower tone rap part)

This song summarizes the entire entertainment industry and feelings idols have. It's...something else...it hits you.
"Finally, I can say it. This is definitely not a lie. I love you"

@@AnAveragePotatoGamer being honest is never easy that's why it hurt deep
ДО СЛЁЗ
❤❤ 😢
I notice in 0:16 say "You're my savior" represents the fans sees Ai as Goddess in there eyes.
Also the "I am Maria" is described Ai perfectly; Mary means star of the sea good interpretation of Ai's character bcs she is a star, the most popular idol and an actress. I mean look at her eyes litterally has sea of stars. It associated as "beloved" and "wished for child".
For those here who are kpop/jpop fans, can you IMAGINE how heavy watching this show will be for idols?
They're the only ones truly able to relate to it
this is exactly what i kept thinking while watching the first ep
Too heavy indeed
Haha, I know some K/J-pop idols who are anime fans and this must hit HARD for them.
This being my bias favorite anime and song at the moment ☹😭
kpopの話をするな
This song is really have deeper meaning. There are either 3 or 2 perspective in this song and props to Yoasobi to make the song somewhat related to the story. This is what happened when the Author takes a part in everything that are relating to his work
Manga readers understand this song more than they planned to
This hit me right in the feels. Even got her final words in the lyrics.
Can't wait to see what episode 2 holds.
It's out 🤗
Soo... How the eps ?
For first eps with 80 minutes, next eps is normal
Because that i read the manga and plot😊
@@rendiadepratama6874 cool
@@rendiadepratama6874 oh brb imma watch it now
I like how the style of the song is very different from their other ones like the starting of the song is just plopped to you like there's no start start it alr started, I didn't believe this was the full song when the starting was like that but I have come to accept that this song is just super different from the other songs in the world
This. This genius. This is so clever i actually don't know how to define it, but, it's so THERE, i don't think people will know what i mean, but the song's lyrics and the story, it's connected. It's just there, irdk how to explain it myself. It's just so dang good wth
After reading the meaning of the song, I immediately fell in love with this opening. The song gives us a happy and cheerful vibes when hearing it, but if you look deeply into the lyrics it's actually quite dark. Similar to how we look at idols and thought "omg being an idol is so great, they're always happy and smiling, I'm so jealous" When in reality being an idol is not as easy as you think. The cheerful lyrics mix with dark lyrics conveyed that beautifully.
In the middle of the song, suddenly the melody becomes darker and the voice sound twisted as they sing a more "obvious" Dark lyrics. That part bring me chills.
In the end of the song we got to hear Ai's last words before she died. "Aah I finally say it, this time it's definitely not a lie, I love you"
This song is perfect, the cheerful theme, the melody, the way the singer sang it, boi this op had become my number 1 best anime op
Fun fact: Ai Hoshino’s first name- Ai, also means love in Japanese. so the verse in 2:04 “That’s what makes a real Ai” Can also mean thats what makes a real love” 😮
It also means "misery" when written with different kanji.
哀
It actually depends on how you write it. I feel like since it sounds like that same other word, it's like the singer says indeed "This is the true love", but the lyrics say otherwise, as "This is the true Ai". It's like a phonetic illusion, a lie. Which is quite a genius work for a character like Ai who always lies to share her love.
Her name hoshino also means my star (hoshi - star) (no - my) so her full name would mean love is my star (hoshi no ai)
@@bwabwa "no" actually means "of"
"my" would be "watashi no" or something more along those lines
hoshi no ai would be "love of a star"
This song has the characteristics of yaosobi songs and have the vibes of oshi no ko's story this is perfect. There's some lines that telling about ai's personality and feeling and that's makes me teared up
Fun fact: Aka Akasa started to write Oshi no Ko before he even finished Kaguya-sama. Truly the Tolkien of modern Anime
Well he doesn't do the most laborious part of creating manga, Drew it.
@@jalpat2272
What a smooth brain thing to say.
This song describes the whole series so perfectly😭
japanese songs really is something else.
Right? Despite being so dark
I think this is the first time I heard ikura-san's cracked voice while singing. It sounds cool.
after watching the anime
this song hits way too hard
Right? And hearing “I love you” will NEVER be the same 😢
Anime name
1:39 should be "I won't ackowledge anyone but you who is stronger than anyone else"
great translation overall!
この曲は本当に聴きやすいです🎀
Man, I'm just so glad Yaosobi is finally having a big break because of this anime , I've been a fan since 2 years after listening to Beastars and listening to their playlists till this day.

Aint no way blud type all of those when there's literally one in this video
cannot explain how much i love this song
First time hearing this song: listened happily
After watching episode 1: cry heavily
Fellow manga reader: "First Time?"
Same
Got me too
This is the exact meaning of “when you are happy you enjoy the music, when you are sad you understand the lyrics. ❤
The anime made me cry in the first episode. The lyrics truly break my heart , especially the end .
This song definitely shows an emphasis on how Ai was truly a cheerful carefree character. She had the character the epitome of a bright star . It's sad that I won't be able to see her in the future episodes of the anime .
The anime actually fits Yoasobi very much. A cute and sweet thing but when you delve in deeper, it's very dark
fun fact: there is a part in the song's lyrics where it says honmono no Ai can mean "true Ai" and also "true love" and it makes sense cause the "true Ai"(the name) is what Ai is describing as what she should be while "true Ai/Love"(the word) is about her whole schpiel with lying and how she can't show true love. :)
** Spoiler
People been saying this song is about how idols decieve their fans,
But far from truth, this song screams how AI HOSHINO see IDOLS. She doesn't understand love but she knows she is longing for love in her life. She created a perfect idol persona in order to make the fans feel loved. But she knows all of it is a lie because she herself doesn't know what love is. Starving herself to death, training everyday, and pretend to smile just to create the perfect bright idol just to be loved by fans. Hoping one day she understand what love is.
Good to know before her death she finally realized what it feels to love something.
The sad part is that is the only last time she will ever said to her kids
😭😭😭
😢
Starved to death?? She was stabbed lol
@@christ1257 they said "starving herself to death" meaning Hoshino Ai needed to keep in shape.
Great work. I really appriciate it.
One correction: 0:46 Here AI is the one that's making one more guy fall in love with her by words no one knows if they are true or not. Not the other way around.
I really like this song and I think this is the coolest part so I wanted to correct it. I hope this helps :)
Thanks for the correction!
I can't...
This has got to be my fave Anime, Manga and Anime intro!!!
I Love Ai, Aqua, Ruby and I cried so much reading the manga, watching the anime and listening to this!!! YOASOBI did an amazing job!! Ahhh!!! I'm Crying again...
It goes soooo freaking well 🥺 when the song is specifically made for the person.. I could see flashes of her life back story in all the lyrics.. Hoshino Ai will be missed forever ❤️
Yep. I agree with you
This made me cry after ep 1. Can't imagine how manga readers felt when they heard it 😭
i thought it was just another nice yoasobi song, but when i read "I've never been loved by anyone, i've never loved anyone" made me cry because i know how ai struggle to know what love is
You know, every chapter is just PAIN
As a manga reader this song destroyed me :')
As a manga reader, I can say this song is dedicated to Ai, plus there are a lot of references, the last part tho 😭
Love how the manga and novel re-contextualizes this song. Some parts fit Nino, and the rest is Ai.
the last few lines were enough to make me bawl my eyes out. i just finished the first ep of the anime (4/13/23) and when she said that, i started crying aha. but it's really good so far! can't wait for more episodes (the next one is estimated to air 1 day before my birthday so i'll consider it an early birthday present! :> )
I just watched the first episode last night, and I can tell you the same. I cried nonstop for hours (eventually crying myself to sleep) after seeing THAT scene 😢. Anyways, I’m all caught up now. Can’t wait for episode 4 next week
2:47 I always start crying reading the lyric for these part onwards
That's mee sheeshhh I am still crying
Bruh, i blast this at full volume and that last part at 3:28 make me feel like my soul leaving my body dawg
She really just needed the warmest hug from someone that truly cared about her ❤❤ if only she had more time 😭😭
This song is literally telling you everything about Ai, a mix between sad lyrics and flamboyant music is truly awesome ❤
Yoasobi has it all to create bangers ❤
i. am. in. love. with. this. anime.
glad yoasobi was able to sing the first op of one of the possibly greatest anime this decade
THIS SONG SLAPS AND THE LYRICS BROKE ME 😭😭😭😭
I love it when she mentioned the twins🥹 2:17
0:00 to 3:33 is DEFINITELY THE BEST!!!!!!
"Maria" is synonymous with the so-called Virgin Mary.
The non-religious Japanese perception of Mary is closest to that of Catholics.
I think it has a strong meaning of a mother who gave birth to the Son of God.
Ruby, on the other hand, says (perhaps jokingly) in the story, "Ai was conceived as a virgin."
The use of the word "Maria" was probably influenced by Ruby's statement.
*I'm using a translation tool, so there may be some problems with the wording.
The song itself summarizes the prologue.
IT IS A CUSTOM-MADE SONG,... Awesome.
AI, Aqua, Ruby, Aishiteru.
This sounds like a blend of Normal J-Pop with a sprinkle of Hiroyuki Sawano's music on it
すばらしい！英語の視聴者にとっても素晴らしい字幕です。
I really love 0:01 - 0:16
I was so happy when the same rhythm came back later in the song
Love the rap part 🤗 also glad to see your videos getting popular in less than a day!! Keep up the good work
Thank you! Will do!
Glad to see you again here and sorry for my late response🙏
@@mimanimie No worries! 🌹
All the layers in the song's lyrics are such a cool detail. Love it!
I love this song !!!! Btw the vocals in the background are amazing, it gives me a vibe of a dramatic and horrific adventure, the opposite of the first impression you can have (if you watched the first episode you know). A masterpiece, really ! Thank you for the video ! ❤
2:11 has the best lyric for me.. like the lady knew what she was doing and was confident about ittt
The song and the anime of oshi no ko has a meaning on not just the dark side of idol entertainment but also another message on internet culture as a whole
I know that the series tackles the dark reality of idol entertainment industry and majority of the entertainment industry
But I like that it also tackles the horror and mental issues of Internet culture + online communities and how it effects on actors/ actresses mentality. Plus, how internet culture has become more toxic with reactionaries youtubers and people posting their opinion without understanding their own actions effect others (cancel culture, Twitter, etc.)
It never takes sides and I like that it shows both the horrors and problems with both side
The last part of the song "Finally I can say it I LOVE YOU" is what brokee my heart😭😭😭😭
"this OP shows the start of the anime
But also the end of a shining star"
We will remember ai chan
i'm in love with 2:30
the tune make my ear is so itchy
This song is the most unique anime opening out there. I've never heard any opening like never!
The operatic singing is saying: "Oh my savior, oh my saving grace." For the first line, and then the longer one is: "Why didn't you save her, my saving grace? I will be forever by your side forever." Which I think is only in the opening for some reason.
after watch the first 80 minutes of episode 1, this song really hit it
I mean .... The lyrics ... Just daaaamn .. Why it has to be so tragic! those lines with their names .. all those words about love and lies ..
"Finally , I can say it ....this is definitely not a lie ..I love you~ ."
No, not at all why would I EVEN CRY ABOUT THEM!!
i literally dont know how i am getting goosebumps everytime i watch this oppening
0:54 The part 45% of people finding it after hearing the part😍
I have already played this song for like 100 times and still cant get the full enjoyment. I want more, more, MORE!!
First time hearing yoasobi rapping
Damn... The lyrics already make me cry damn you Ayase make this lyrics to be so good and spoil for those non-manga reader😭
"Finally, I can say it. This is definitely not a lie. I love you"
pain.
When I think about it again, Ai Hoshino is just a female japanese idol version of Alexander Hamilton.
The way that they both were orphan children who never been loved but still had the ambition for a bright future and becoming famous figures to the public and changed the world in their own ways. And they both died pretty young too.
I was today years old when I realized that
The way she says "Aishiteru" is so satisfying. 2:10
This song is the anthem of Kpop / jpop / cpop IDOLS
