While I don&#8217;t know if Yuumei ni, Nyaritai is entirely that, the fact that it&#8217;s literally an idol group singing about wanting to be famous is pretty rare. It also does this in really weird ways &#8211; they don&#8217;t just want to be on TV or in magazines (though they do sing about that), one of the biggest things is wanting to be in textbooks. They don&#8217;t just want to be famous idols, they want to be remembered for all time.<\/p>\n<p>The song is also complete cuteness overload, almost entirely fanservice in that way. All that being said, it&#8217;s also one of the weirdest songs of the year. There&#8217;s an extended reggae section (even name dropping Bob Marley), an electronic dance section, etc. It&#8217;s just upbeat and weird, things that I definitely like. So even though I don&#8217;t necessarily want to be singing along to a song this fanservicey, everything else about it appeals to me on a basic level. It&#8217;s weird with some of the most interesting lyrics of the year so far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a big soft spot for idol songs that are in some way self aware, that are reflexive of the idol industry as a whole.
