"Idol" (Japanese: アイドル, Hepburn: Aidoru) is a song by Japanese duo Yoasobi from their third EP, The Book 3 (2023). It was released as a single on April 12, 2023, by Sony Music Entertainment Japan, serving as the opening theme of the 2023 Japanese anime series Oshi no Ko. Written by Ayase and based on Aka Akasaka's short story 45510, "Idol" is a combination of Japanese idol-styled pop, hip hop, rock, and video game music, depicting the two-faced nature of a star in the Japanese idol industry from perspectives on the anime's character Ai Hoshino by her fans, her B-Komachi's groupmates, and herself.

The song received positive reviews from music critics for a "perfect" representation of Ai Hoshino. It was a massive commercial success by peaking at number one on both the Oricon Combined Singles Chart and Billboard Japan Hot 100. The latter topped for 22 non-consecutive weeks, making it the longest-running number-one song in the chart history. It also broke the record for the fastest song to achieve diamond certification for 500 million streaming by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) in about ten months. As Yoasobi's most successful song worldwide to date, "Idol" was marked as the highest position by Japanese act at number seven on the Billboard Global 200, and the first Japanese-language song to top the Global Excl. US, as well as the 19th best-selling song globally in 2023, according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).

Naoya Nakayama directed the accompanying animated music video for the song, which premiered on April 13, 2023, and exceeded 100 million views in around one month, the fastest among Japanese acts. "Idol" won several awards, including Best Animation Video and Song of the Year at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards Japan, Best Anime Song at the 8th Crunchyroll Anime Awards, Song of the Year by both download and streaming at the 38th Japan Gold Disc Award, and Gold Prize at the 2024 JASRAC Awards. After numerous domestic and overseas performances, the first Japanese televised performance of "Idol" took place at the 74th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, featuring Japanese and Korean idol groups, among others.

Background and release[edit]

An anime adaptation of manga series Oshi no Ko was announced in June 2022.[1] During a livestream on its official YouTube channel on February 19, 2023, the anime series revealed the opening theme which would be performed by Yoasobi, titled "Idol".[2] As a "super huge" fan of the manga, Ayase had personally read Oshi no Ko before and written a demo about it around 2022. It was initially titled "Kyūkyoku no Ōgi",[B] portraying a girl who is the strongest and unbeatable fighter, showing some dark side, reminiscing about Street Fighter character Chun-Li.[3] The demo was originally expected to be released as a Vocaloid song,[4] but the plan was changed after the duo received the offer to perform the opening theme for Oshi no Ko; Ayase interwove the demo and the new composition to be the final version.[5]

"Idol" first featured in the anime's trailer, and the full-length version played for the first time in an extended 90-minute first episode, "Mother and Children", which premiered on March 17 at selected movie theaters in Japan.[6] After the first performance of the song at their Denkōsekka Arena Tour on April 5 at Nippon Gaishi Hall, Nagoya, Yoasobi announced that "Idol" would be available on digital music and streaming platforms on April 12, the same date as the anime's televised premiere.[7] A month later, the duo teased a snippet of the English version as a video clip uploaded via Twitter, showing Ikura recording the song in the studio,[8] which the full-length was released digitally on May 26.[9] The limited CD single and 7-inch vinyl formats of the single were released on June 21 and July 26, respectively, which both contain the Japanese, English, anime edit, and instrumental versions.[10][11] Subsequently, "Idol" was included in the duo's third EP The Book 3, released on October 4,[12] and the English version on their third English-language EP E-Side 3, released on April 12, 2024.[13]

45510[edit]

The source of "Idol" is 45510, a short story written by Oshi no Ko's writer Aka Akasaka. The title refers to the initials of the manga's fictional idol girl group B-Komachi founding members: Takamine, Nino, Ai, and Watanabe, when typing on a telephone keypad. Each number corresponds when feeding kana inputs: "ta" () as "4", "ni" () as "55", "a" () as "1", and "wa" () as "0".[14] The story was first published via Weekly Young Jump's website on April 13, shortly after the anime's first episode televised premiere,[15] before being included as a poster booklet on the single physical releases.[10][11]

The story depicts the points of view of an unidentified one of B-Komachi's former founding members, who found former groupmate and face of the group Ai Hoshino's livestream 16 years after her death. The video showed Hoshino talking to her fans, making her reminisce and her jealousy of Hoshino. After the video stopped and could not find more, the former member tried to log in to B-Komachi's blog, operated by four founding members, whose password is "45510", and found Hoshino's unpublished posts written about her bad feelings, wanting to be like the past. The former member decided to delete the posts because she did not want to show Hoshino's weak side to everyone. Even though she disliked Hoshino, the protagonist also respected Hoshino as a "perfect and ultimate idol".[14]

Lyrics and composition[edit]

"Idol" combines pop, hip-hop, rock, and video game music genres[16] with a church choir-like gothic rendition.[17] The Japan Times's Patrick St. Michel described the song as "a mix of varied influences that draws from Akihabara livehouses and Atlanta hip-hop," that is "connected by a piano dash that has come to define Ayase's production."[18] It is driven by the "bright and poppy", "idol-like bubblegum",[17] and "reign of the king" atmosphere-like sounds,[19] and includes "dizzying" transitions and "complicated" structure, such as "gritty" sub-bass, orchestral and electronic-sounded chorus, and trap beat-styled rapping, etc.[20][21] The song's production was inspired by American musician Ghostemane's strong lows and bass guitar played at Indonesia rapper Rich Brian's performance at the 2022 Head in the Clouds Festival.[22] Music critic Hwang Sun-up noted that "Idol" "reflects a lot of K-pop elements" in terms of sound and composition, citing Blackpink's "How You Like That" for grand intro, and Nmixx's "O.O" for mixed structure.[23] Ikura's vocals in the song are described as alternating between "cutest idol in the world"-like "sweet and clear" voice and "frenzy" and "introspection" with "deep sarcastic" snarls and "K-pop-esque" "rapid-fire" raps.[21][16]

"Idol" expresses true self and false self of stars in Japanese idol industry (Nogizaka46 pictured).

"Idol" features uncredited background cheering shouts by Akihabara-based B-boy group and YouTuber Real Akiba Boyz, and gospel-styled background vocals sung in English for praise idol.[24] Told only until the end of Oshi no Ko's first episode,[22] the lyrics express the two-faced nature of people in the entertainment industry, specifically Japanese idols,[25] including their perfection, ultimate, culture, fans' psychology, and idolatry.[19] The song shows the three perspectives on Ai Hoshino. The first part expresses the eyes of fans and media about her perfection and making herself look mysterious, by answering fans' questions, and herself about not knowing how to love someone and no longer distinguishing between truths and lies. The second part tells B-Komachi's members' jealousy but respect and gratitude for Hoshino. The last depicts Hoshino's point of view of her secret about lies, greed, and imperfection, as well as her motherhood of twin children, Ruby and Aqua, that she hopes someday her lies become true.[26]

["Idol"] only depicts the story up to the end of [Oshi no Ko's] first episode. I thought that if the opening theme song was always one about what Ai was thinking when she was alive, what happened to her, and her love for Aqua and Ruby, that people would never forget about Ai, and she would become a legend.

— Ayase on the lyrics of "Idol", Billboard Japan[22]

Critical reception[edit]

Upon its release, "Idol" generally received positive reviews. Danny Guan from Game Rant praises "Idol" as a "perfect" representation of Ai Hoshino, and "jumping from brooding rap verses to energetic J-pop melodies with ease, flipping moods at the drop of a hat."[25] Writing for Yahoo! News Japan, Suzie Suzuki compared the song as a parody of Kyoko Koizumi's 1985 single "Nantettatte Idol" and 2010s female idols, and commented, "It is too well done and has reached a metastructure of 'more idol song-like than a normal idol song.' "[27] Real Sound's Mio Komachi dubbed the song "standing out" among Yoasobi's discography, feeling "the essence of a Vocaloid song", and the "perfect" portrayal of Hoshino with an "almost inorganic" voice,[28] while Tsuki no Hito described the song "having this chaotic sense of balance that incorporates K-pop homage […], and explodes with a clear chorus that is typical of J-pop."[29] Noriko Ashizawa from Spotify Japan described that "Idol" "has a composition in which the scene changes rapidly in a different sense from K-pop," and "the Vocaloid-like irregular melody progression is not similar to any overseas song."[30]

Rockin'On Japan's Miho Takahashi called the song "a perfect work that could not be better,"[31] while Mikiki's S.H.I. "a song representing 2023", stated about "emphasiz[ing] the impression of the performer's presence rather than the musicality."[32] Patrick St. Michel from The Japan Times wrote that the song is "disorienting […] but it's certainly catchy."[18] For the English version, ComicBook.com's Nick Valdez praised that it "captur[ing] the spirit of the original version perfectly."[33] Gumi from Cinemas+ commended the song for retaining most of the message conveyed by the Japanese original lyrics.[34] Writing for Screen Rant, Joshua Fox gave a mixed review, commenting that the song, "while still great to listen to, falls short of the Japanese version"; "the lyrics are largely exact translations with little to no alterations," so "the flow of the English version ends up feeling off in some parts." Fox compared the song to the complete re-writing in English of Hikaru Utada's "Hikari", "Simple & Clean".[35] Economist and entrepreneur Yūsuke Narita dubbed both the Japanese and English versions as Matsuo Bashō's 1686 hokku "furu ike ya kawazu tobikomu mizu no oto" and its English translations in the 21st century.[36] Music critics Tássia Assis called "Idol" "their magnum opus so far".[37]

Music critic Motohiko Tokuriki compared the success of "Idol" to Fujii Kaze's "Shinunoga E-Wa", which was a hit overseas in 2022, and commented that it "has the potential to be a big step for the Japanese music industry in that it has clearly seen the world from the beginning and has been successful."[104] During the inaugural week of September 14, 2023, "Idol" debuted at number one on the Billboard Japan's Global Japan Songs Excl.

The director described the scene as "the world that Ai wanted to see".[113]
