Ai Hoshino’s story in “Oshi no Ko“has attracted not only those who live in the manga and anime itself, but also viewers in the real world. With Ai being a category idol, it makes sense that music is an important part of anime , and so ultimately it resulted in the following: the opening of the anime is already the most listened to on the Spotify platform in Japan.

Then I leave you with all the details that shared Crunchyroll on the spectacular success of “Oshi no Ko” beyond the anime’s weekly stream (which, by the way, isn’t on Crunchyroll):

  • ‘Idol’ YOASOBI’s theme for Oshi no Ko’s anime opening theme, It was played up to 600,000 times last Sunday on Spotify Japan, setting a brand new record for the platform.
  • Obviously, this means that the opening of Oshi no Ko is also most listened to today on Spotify Japan. But that’s not all:
    • Over the past weekend, the opening song ‘Idol’ also had the most watched music video on YouTube Japan with over 16 million views.
    • It is also on the world list of Top 100 Youtube Music Videoswhere it already accumulates more than 37 million reproductions.

Then I leave you with the subject both in the official Spotify player as well as the Youtube video:

For those who have not yet watched the anime “Oshi no Ko”, I remind you that in Spain it is broadcast in streaming via AnimeBoxeven if it is also accessible via the HIDIVE platform. The anime follows the story of Ai Hoshino, an idol who temporarily disappears from the acting scene after becoming pregnant with twins. Fate will have these three characters lead lives they were certainly not prepared for.
