'Idol アイドル' performed by NUS Guitar Ensemble for Continuum, recorded in NUS University Town Dance Atelier 2, Singapore, on 21 October 2023.

Idol is a Japanese pop song by popular duo Yoasobi that delves into the life of an idol in the Japanese entertainment industry. It touches upon the dual nature of stardom, the external facade of celebrities, and their internal struggles. The song draws inspiration from the perspectives of Ai Hoshino, a character from the anime series Oshi no Ko, shedding light on her journey and the way she is perceived by her fans, her bandmates, and even herself.
