A new idol group called "SPYAIM" is set to debut from the entertainment agency "evol."

In order to fulfill our "dream" ten years from now, we keep a "secret."

We are the rookie idol group "SPYAIM," and our goal is a live performance at Tokyo Dome ten years from now. You might think it's impossible, but you never know until you try. It's okay to dream big and freely. Idols are here to give their fans a dream. If we don't dream, nothing will start - that's what they say. (But truth be told, we have a "secret" that must never be revealed to our fans.)

URADOL - Bright 【URADOL Stage/opening】 ♪ Lyrics Translation

Their secret is that they are fraudulent idols, covered in lies. A new idol group called "SPYAIM" is set to debut from the entertainment agency "evol."

♪ Lyrics

Flexibility, appeal, mastery, ironic replay, natural charge

The everyday life that's just a little bit too much, enough to get bored of it

In the reality that seemed like a lie, unsatisfying

I thought miracles wouldn't happen, repeating the same days

In this whole world, only I seemed to notice

Only the emotions that have sprouted keep going around

Like the only light that exists

My heart can’t stop anymore

If I don't take a step forward, nothing will start

Let's get out!

Maybe Maybe

With the signal of that day that was my heart beating

Go to the end of the lie

Maybe Maybe

We can't go back

Only the overflowing feelings will move us

In our blooming story

Dream in the waking days

With your heart, my true self, ride on me

豊永利行さん『ディア▼ヴォーカリスト Evolve』収録後インタビュー到着「今回もモモチくんと貴女の関係性は凄いことになっていきます」

豊永利行『ディアヴォーカリスト』アルバム発売記念インタビュー「スリルある体験を、モモチくんで感じていただけたら幸いです♪」

2019.11.20 <PASH! PLUS>

An interview with Toshiyuki Toyonaga, following the recording of "Dear Vocalist Evolve".

q: While this is the 5th drama CD featuring the character, were there any new discoveries about the character or scenes/lines of dialogue that made you think they had evolved?

a: With Momochi-kun, that’s always the case, but the process of his evolution and the results are surprising… or how should I put it, they often go beyond what is normal.

Rather than pinpointing specific moments, it's more like, throughout the whole thing, you're left with a feeling of "ehhh... this is how it ends up???”.

q: Regarding the new song, please give your thoughts. (Were there any lyrics or melodies that you found appealing or touching? Any points to recommend or highlights to listen for?)

a: It might sound like a return to the roots, but personally, I wondered what exactly those 'roots' are. That was the impression I got from the song. "Guren Shinjuu" is just... exhausting, you know (laughs). And as for "V", well... considering Momochi's state of mind, I can't listen to it as an upbeat song with a clear conscience (laughs).

q: Lastly, please give a message to the readers.

a: This time too, the relationship between you and Momochi-kun will become even more amazing. However, for those who have been following the drama so far, won’t new sensations or emotions start to arise? Will it be something that can be dismissed with "it can't be helped"? Is that feeling one of "sympathy"? Or is it "empathy"? It might be a work that measures your heart. Enjoy it ♪

The first band album series "Raving Beats!!!" by Dear Vocalist, which celebrated its 5th anniversary in August 2020, has been decided for release. Unlike the previous joint best album series "Rock Out!!!" featuring all bands, this series will release albums separately for each band.

q: Please share your thoughts on the new song this time. Also, as this is the first band album series, please give us your thoughts on that as well.

a: Somehow, when it’s a Veronica-only album, you can really see Momochi's emotions clearly… or rather, at this point, isn’t he like a child who is easy to understand? (laughs)

The selection of songs was decided by Cheers' votes, so it became a very meaningful album that shows what Cheers are looking for.

I hope Momo-chan will use it as reference for making future songs ♪

The new songs are definitely daring, with three songs that are bitter, poignant, deceitful, sad, but you can feel the soul in them.

q: “Dear♥︎Vocalist" celebrated its 5th anniversary in August 2020. If there was anything that left an impression on you so far, or if you have any expectations for future developments, please let us know.

a: As for things that left an impression… well, there have been a lot of shocking things (laughs).

I feel like there might not be anyone that fits the phrase “I get anxious when I’m treated kindly" as well as this character does.

I think he is a very aggressive character in our day and age, and I’m grateful to have been given the opportunity to play him for five years.

While I realize that there are people who have critical opinions about characters like Momochi, on the other hand, I think playing such a character is a great honor for an actor… and if you look at the world as a whole, there are people like him out there, right? I think it also broadens our perspective to acknowledge that. So personally, I want to support him and be there for him.

q: Finally, could you please give a message to our readers?

a: Momochi-kun has been exposing his true colors as a scumbag more and more, but in a way, I think of him as "Mr. Rejet!" (laughs). I have no intention of increasing or encouraging unreasonable people like him in the world, but it's strange how we can feel a kind of magical attraction to him... Maybe it's just one of the mysterious aspects of human nature. To everyone that loves Momochi, I hope you can continue to experience thrilling experiences through Momochi-kun that wouldn’t happen in the real world, and would be a huge deal if they did♪

This world is rotting.
