Notes

  1. It is "Furby", created and originally sold in USA 1998. It looks like some animal appearing in the picture. At first it speaks its own language, but, as people talk to it, it "learns" the preset language (1 of 24).
  2. In Legend "M" concert in Koeln 2014, MOAMETAL was introduced as "the Angel of Love", not "the Angel of Smile".
  3. I don't know whether MOAMETAL has ever said the origin of her name "最愛" or not, but she often introduces herself as "最も愛を大切に!" (Mottomo Ai o taisetsu-ni!; cherish the love most!).
  4. MOAMETAL said she liked a girl idol story "Kirarin Revolution" (comic&anime) since she was very young. The first CD she bought in 2007 was sung by "Kirari TSUKISHIMA starring Koharu KUSUMI (Morning Musume.)" (heroine / voice actress). Now she often says she likes Airi SUZUKI (of °C-ute) very much. I'm not sure which idol was referred to.
  5. MOAMETAL belongs to a girl group "Sakura Gakuin" (= Cherry Blossom School), but its membership is limited to 10-15 y.o. girls (in 5th-9th grade).
  6. Probably "Dancin' all of the night" has no special meaning, just cited from the song "LOVE Machine".
  7. Combining the last two lines, ignoring the word order, etc. and complementing the grammatical subject, it says "[MOAMETAL] has been performing the undercover propagation in the idol scene steadily".

    1. Thank you for your captioning & information.
      The lyrics of the new song were transcribed halfway before that video was uploaded. If transcribing team complete it, I will try to translate it. But don't expect too much. It's a typical anime song saying: "Move on if you believe in it though there's no road", etc.
