I translated the lyrics to the song 'Idol' by Japanese artist [YOASOBI], which is the opening theme of the anime [SUGASOBI].
muteki no egao de arasu media
Media trolling with an invincible smile.
shiritai sono himitsu misuteriasu
I want to know its secret Mysterious.
nuketeru toko sae kanojo no eria
Even the missing parts are in her area.
kanpeki de usotsuki na kimi wa
You're perfect and a liar.

Dear Idol Genius.

What did you eat today?
suki na hon wa?
What is your favourite book?
asobi ni iku nara doko ni iku no?
Where would you go for fun?
nanimo tabetenai
I haven't eaten anything.

Don't tell anyone about that.
nani o kikarete mo norari kurari
They are dodgy when asked what they want to know.
sou tantan to dakedo sansan to
Yes, unobtrusive, but brilliant.
miesou de mienai himitsu wa mitsu no aji
The secret that seems to be visible but is invisible is the taste of honey.

That's not even there.
kore mo nai nai nai
This is also a no-brainer.
suki na taipu wa? aite wa? saa kotaete
What is your favourite type? Who's your partner? Go on, answer.

I don't know what it's like to love someone.

I don't know if it's true or false.

Another one falls for such words.
mata suki ni saseru
I'll let you do what you want again.

Everyone's eyes will be drawn to it.

You are the perfect and ultimate idol.

Everyone is captivated by him.

impressions
The lyrics seemed to describe the loneliness and contradictions behind the brilliance and glamour of idols and the harsh realities of the entertainment industry. The pressure to remain perfect and attractive in front of the media and fans, and the struggles and truths behind the scenes seem to be the themes addressed.
