Intro: ikura & REAL AKIBA BOYZ
The invincible smile that tears up the media
Wanna know her secret, so mysterious
Even the things she lacks end up in her area
Such a perfect liar, you are:
miss ingenious, godly idol
Verse 1: ikura
So, what’d you eat today?
What’s your favorite book?
And if you wanna go to play, where are you gonna go?
I haven’t eaten at all
That’s a secret
No matter what you ask
She’s elusive, evasive
Verse 2
So nonchalant
Yet still shining bright;
Her secret: out of sight, as if visible, has the taste of honey
There is none, none, none of this
And also none, none, none of that
What type of guy do you like?
Who are your enemies?
Come on, answer me
Pre-Chorus: ikura & REAL AKIBA BOYZ
I don’t understand what falling in love with someone else is like (Hey! Hey!)
I cannot tell what is true from what is a lie (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
And yet again, someone falls for such words (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Gently lulled into love
Chorus: ikura
Drawing everyone’s eyes
You are the perfect, ultimate idol
Never to appear again
A reincarnation of Venus
With that smile, with that I love you
You captivate everyone
Even if those eyes, those words, are false
They make up a perfect love (Ai)
Verse 3: ikura
Yeah, yeah, that girl stands out, exceptional
We were extras from the beginning
BS that acted as adornments for the star’s leading role
Everything we’ve accomplished is thanks to her ”” no!
How impudent
How could envy and jealousy not exist?
This isn’t some made-up drama for appearances
So I cannot forgive
You’re not perfect, I cannot forgive you
I cannot forgive myself
I cannot accept any version of you other than the one stronger than everyone else
Chorus
Everybody trusts and worships
The very strongest, most invincible idol
Weaknesses and whatnot are not to be found
Carrying the number one star within
Showing any weakness is no good, no good (Hey! Hey!)
Don’t let them see anything that they don’t want to know (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Anything but being one-of-a-kind is a definite no, no (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
That is the real Ai (Hey!)
Bridge: ikura
My signature smile that fires up the media
The only secret that I shall keep is this:
My career was built upon fake I love yous
This is love, in my own way
Even the flowing sweats are beautiful Aqua
These eyelids that hid the Ruby within
Sing, dance, flutter, I am Maria ””
Right, lying is the most exquisite form of love
Pre-Chorus
I have never been loved by anyone
Nor have I loved anyone else
That such lies of mine will become true someday
I trust in it
Chorus
Someday, surely, I will have it all in hand
I am such a greedy idol
Because I wish to love everybody properly in a life-sized way
I shall lie today as well (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Hoping that one day, these words will become true (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
And yet, still, (Hey! Hey!)
I have been unable to tell you, and you, alone (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Outro
Ah, I’ve said it now at last
This is definitely not a lie;
I love you
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
You’re my savior, my true savior, my saving grace)
