Official Oshi no Ko Creditless Opening and Ending Released
Last week, YOASOBI released the official music video for their Oshi no Ko opening song Idol, which quickly got millions of views, enough to be called a contender for OP of the year.
Now, the official opening for the anime has been released. While fans expected the opening to be a shorter version of the music video, that wasn’t the case.
The show’s ending was also finally revealed, and it features the song Mephisto by the popular Japanese band, Queen Bee.
