Posted by Noon Anime Team on November 26, 2025
Hold onto your lightsticks, because this is absolutely massive! The unstoppable J-pop duo YOASOBI has done it again, and this time they've completely shattered the record books. Oricon has just confirmed that "Idol," the phenomenal opening theme for the smash-hit anime Oshi no Ko, has officially rocketed past 1 BILLION cumulative streams! It's not just a milestone; it's a meteoric achievement, making "Idol" the fastest song in Oricon's history to ever reach such a staggering number.
In an incredible display of their own dominance, the record that "Idol" just broke was previously held by... YOASOBI themselves! Their 2019 debut masterpiece, "Yoru ni Kakeru" ("Racing Into the Night"), was the former champion. This means YOASOBI is literally in a league of their own, competing with their own legendary tracks for the top spot. It’s an unbelievable testament to their consistent ability to create music that resonates with millions around the globe.
From its infectious beat to its sharp, poignant lyrics that perfectly capture the light and dark themes of Oshi no Ko, "Idol" was destined for greatness from the very first note. The track became a viral sensation worldwide, dominating charts and social media feeds, and proving the immense global power of anime music. This incredible achievement is a huge win for YOASOBI and a celebration for the entire anime community. What a time to be a fan!
