かすかに 聞いた 叫びは
さむさに 怯えてた あの日を
思い出す
かじかんだ 指先 かざして
陽だまりで 溶けていき
しずかに 消えて 飛び立つ
過去も未来も関係ない
I wanna say good-bye
だからただ 精一杯
どこにいても ここにいても
まだ つかない
過去の向こうで待ってて
I wanna say good-bye
あそんでたい 精一杯
あどけなさ 探してたい
(夢のはじまりは そう 常に突然
日差しのように 微笑み返す)
ほどけてた 赤いリボン
直して また
カラフルな世界の その先
重なった 日差し 柔らかな空気
似合わないよ 飾ってきた その言葉は
逃げれない 黒っぽい気持ちは
夢の中で味わう
ねえ 誰が
かき消してしまったの
借りた表情を 儚げな表情も
未体験 もすこしだけ 探してたい
かすれてた こころに
I wanna say good-bye
あそんでたい 精一杯
ひらいて 風
踊り出すから

ambivalence, dance (Q-Rabbit Remix)
usabeni
"Because my Idol" is the first full-length album by creative solo idol usabeni.
The record brings together singles released between 2022 and 2024 written by Emiri Kanou and Hana Tsuruuchi, along with the buzzworthy new track [CITY GIRL VELOCITY] produced by Q-Rabbit, which incorporates future funk, and the electro-dance track [Bye Sweet] produced by Hyoe Yasuhara, released in advance in August 2025. The album also features brand-new, previously unreleased songs for a total of 13 tracks.
Opening the album is [Not your Idol], a song that blends the alternative edge of K-pop with a distinctly Japanese pop melody, layered with usabeni's own lyrics that embody the hidden theme behind the album title.
Centered on electropop while exploring techno, alternative R&B, and drum & bass, the album shifts between idol pop and chill atmospheres, offering a wide range of moods and sonic textures.
Balancing the identity of being an "idol" with the challenge of being a solo artist, this album stands as a defining work in usabeni's career.
