【ENG SUB】April Fool's Prank: "Idol" by ROF-MAO without Kenmochi Touya【Kagami / Fuwa / Kaida】

TL notes: 媚びる translates directly as flattery, but it's usually used to describe how idols would "sell" fanservice to their fans, so it's translated as such. Kenmochi really doesn't like being called an idol and has mentioned many times that he refuses to do any of such "selling", so much that he's been teased for it by many livers

for a group as big as ROF-MAO and their only two covers being a song about MOTHERFUCKER and Idol is so on brand 😂

[@sol-solaceteria2654]

The cover itself was pure evil but the "without" Felt like a blow to the head LMAO this was hilarious

[@snowv3302]

When Kenmochi said 'was it a lie?', the lyrics: even if they are lies, they are perfect love.

[@snowv3302]

thanks for the clips and subs!

[@chocomitchi]

the "without" is too personal😭💀💀

[@frontline1277]

And the fact that their cover is so good😂😂😂

[@TheXDayDreamerx]

ROF-MAO & all staff involved are absolute mad lads, I can't believe they really pulled this for April Fool's.
Everyone's reactions are so funny, I'm laughing so much LMAO. So this explains the "without" in the title, and the special thanks 😭
The cover is so good, hope we can get a "with" next time... Eh? I meant ROF-MAO ww.

[@melonnnbread]

[@katherineh3731]

my favorite part is the Special Thanks: Kenmochi Touya in the description box and the credits, it makes the without even funnier
but the thing that really sent me was the comment saying now Mochi-san should release Mephisto by himself as a 1 mil gift
