Idol | OSHI NO KO OP [FULL ENGLISH COVER]

What a genius idol you are! Check out Megami33's newest cover from Oshi no Ko OP, "Idol!":D

OMG! Finally got this done! This was quite a doozy to work on, especially while I was watching the amazing pilot! A friend of mine also found out that Aka Akasaka wrote specifically for this song. Not to get into it too much, but basically has an ex-member of B-Komachi who finds an old interview of Ai that a fan re-uploaded online. It talks about how interviewers see her, the other idols that worked with her, and a few more perspectives [for those that know...] Anyway, this is definitely the show of the season by far, and couldn't resist giving it an attempt at it. Plus, you Moonies and peeps voted for it too lol Anyway, I know I'm not an idol [and thank god I'm not lol] but hope you enjoyed my interpretation of the song. I didn't want to talk too much at the End card cause honestly I could easily spoil it for you, so if you haven't yet, go check out the show! You won't regret it!

Are you kidding?! 🎉

These lyrics are a perfect translation from the original! The idol talk show commentary/interview from the beginning, perfectly slipping in the child's names + Maria + Ai through "I've, " and her final words closer to the impact from the show/manga!

The attention to detail in the lyrics are absolutely immaculate- incredible job! ❤

[SkyWolfe-vmzu]

Dominating with her smile in the media!
Wanna know her secrets, but she’s so mysterious!
What she lacks, she can hack!
A master in her area!
Perfected lies! So glamorized! A shining star!
What a genius idol you are!

(Oh my savior, oh my saving grace)

“Sooo what’s your favorite treat? The books you like to read?”
“Where would you like to go hang out if you were ever free?”
“Oh, I never get to snack!” They wonder, “Why is that?”
But they’ll never know the truth a s she continues smiling back.
Watching her take her time as her perfection shines!
Secrets they think they know but they’ll never know always taste so sweet!
“Could I be right, right, right?” “That isn’t right, right, right?!”
“Come on now, who’s that guy? What’s your type?!”
“Please just answer me!!!”

“When it comes to love… I haven’t got a clue.”
“What I say, what it means… That's all up to you to choose!”
What is real, what's a lie? I may never know the truth…
Falling for her words again…
For everybody’s sake, she’ll vow you’ll love her till the very end!

Everyone is captivated by your eyes!
So sublime! The ultimate, the perfect idol!
A miracle, no one has seen so far!
Like a rebirth of the very first star!
Ahh, that smile I adore! I keep on wanting more!
Everyone’s memorized completely by what you can do!
But even if your eyes and words tell only lies,
I’ll love you because you’re the perfect Ai!

Yeah, yeah! She’s so special, oh, we know she is!
We’re the extras from the sidelines, always feelin’ jipped!
B-team here to make her shine then left behind, but hey it’s fine!
If it wasn’t for her none of us here would survive…
Lies! You cannot hide…
All of this jealousy deep inside! This isn’t right!
Laughing and hurting my pride, wasting all of my time!
Can’t forgive you nor I, for the rest of our lives!
It’s up to me to decide…
I won't be deprived, knowing someone’s alive that can ever come close to my Ai.

Everyone adores and worships you like God!
A supreme, invincible, powerful idol!
Flawless, yes! A beauty through and through!
You’re the chosen star, no one outshines you!

There’s no such thing as pain. Just play the game-ame!
Lock up your heart and any weakness far away!
Become one of a kind through all your lie-ies!
Cause that’s what makes you the perfect Ai!

Dominating with my smile in the media!
There’s a secret that I can’t possibly tell ya!
Saying “I love you, ” and lying throughout my career!
That’s my style of love that I hold so dear!
Flowing silently, perspiring like Aqua!
Ruby in my eyes, sparkle in the camera!
Singing and dancing like I’m the first Maria!
Yes, these lies of mine show I’ve mastered the medium!

There’s been no one that has loved the real me…
And despite all the fans, I love no one that I see…
But I believe this lie will someday become real…
Then perhaps deep inside, my heart can be healed.
I want to believe..!

I know someday, I will get everything I want!
Cause I know that I’m a greedy, pretty idol!
To share this love and leave no one else behind…
That today and for always, I’ll keep up this lie!

I’ll pray! Keep working towards that day…
When I can find a way to say the very words to make all of this come true!
But still, it’s much too soon…
And someday it might be too late to finally say those words to you!

Hey… I think I got this right… I swear it’s not a lie…
Listen closely, you two… I love you!

(Oh my savior, my true savior, my saving grace)

One things that really sticks out to me in this cover is how well you landed the squeaking intonation (media, mysterious, etc.) like in the original. The background choir (?) at 0:21 was also a nice touch I don't usually hear clearly in other covers. Once again, quality work!

[DanielMemeSmith]

"There's no such thing as pain. Just play the game-ame" is a very cool and catchy line!
This is the best cover I've seen so far.

[kvromi]

The fact that shes a aphmau voice actor-

[HarukoSan]

These lyrics are so absolutely amazing and you sang it so fluidly. The upward runs were breathtaking too genuinely you ate. The rap felt hella pro too ugh amazing job seriously!!!!

Also the high notes, like the "mysterioUS" was so flawless EVERY single time ugh it was so hype. "Greedy pretty idol" ugh so stunning so stunning

[funtime-cfbc]

Been in love with this series for so long and so happy to see how the anime is being handled I honestly don't believe for a second it would have blown up the way it has if they took 3-4 episodes to cover what episode 1 did by making it basically an entire movie

[irok]

You've always got the best lyrics of any cover, then the vocals, music, and editing to match

[modge]

I loveee your rendition. I especially like how you don’t translate it verbatimly like others tend to do to make it sound more natural yet also still hold the same meaning as the original 😊

[chattychatotchannel]

Yaay a version with less of the autotune thingy that makes me super happy and it has lots of charm to it :D I was super happy and went omg that’s the person who did the kumoko song!

[monkeydluffy]

The op is amazing you did incredible job covering it

[Estarile]

This is so good! I have no idea how you manage to make all the different voices so distinct when its just you. Like, I can hear the difference between Publicity Ai, the reporter, Personal Ai, her bandmates, and the crazy fans.

[allylove]

so with the official version out i want to say i still prefer yours! i think the official is a bit too of a literal translation and i also love the extra sass you bring towards the end of the song, ive been keeping it on repeat in my car for the last few days, again wonderful job!

[Wilfoe]

This song felt both upbeat and dark. Interesting effect.

[OfficerMidnightChopper]

Well we all know who the real perfect idol is

[theasylist]

Christiano cuz I'm dyslexic I have a hard time reading so I want I'm listening to a Japanese song I would love to try to find English covers so I can actually hear the lyrics instead of trying to read them still like the original obviously but I enjoy this English cover as well because of the last me to understand what they are saying

[blanche__]

I know it's probably really specific but I love the punctuation... It gives a sense of emotion and individuality. It's the little things :) keep it up

[meloneater]

these are probably the best english lyrics i've listened to, vocals are on point as well, good job :)

[Kainync]

I was hoping I was to find your version of the song and I wasn't disappointed at all! Nice work!
