Kisaragi Attention

Kisaragi Attention (如月アテンション Kisaragi Atenshon) is the seventh song of the series. It is also called The story of snatching your eyes.

Background

 * Momo Kisaragi, a young girl who is also a popular idol, is going out for a walk but tries to not gather too much attention today. She dons a hoodie to hide her face from the public and hopes that no one recognizes her. Though she makes her way through back alleys and stays careful, she still gets spotted and her hood blows off as a strong wind comes by, making people notice her immediately. As the crowd starts to take photos she runs away, as she is sick of her idol life by now.


 * She jumps over a fence and sees several posters of herself, making her nervous. Momo states she would like to tell everyone to not stare at her anymore, but she keeps it to herself and continues to run. Finally feeling safe, she drinks a soda and thinks about when it started that she got so much attention from people. As she can't really remember, and continues her walking, but hides behind a wall as she notices everyone is in panic, making her want to quit her idol job.


 * The video then shows a short scene of how she signed the contract to become an idol, then switches back to the present. Looking at a poster of herself she wonders if she really deserves all this attention and doesn't understand it at all. She starts to cry and continues to do so until suddenly she notices a girl with green hair in front of her. The girl brings her to the hideout of the Mekakushi Dan where she gets introduced to Kido, Kano, and Marry (later Seto as well). After some trouble with a misunderstanding, they ask her to join the group and she agrees when suddenly Marry trips and spills tea over Momo. She takes it with humor and they become friends.


 * The next scene skips to a concert of Momo, showing how she looks at a photo of her new friends on her cell phone with a smile. Being encouraged by the help of her friends she faces her idol life with a more positive mindset and accepts her eye power, which she now uses to attract even more attention during her performance. Knowing the other members of the Mekakushi Dan are watching, she takes her hoodie and puts it on her shoulders. The last scene shows how Momo is out again, then also shows her brother Shintaro for a short moment, referencing the following scenes in the manga.

Lyrics & Translation
Wow 行き先はどうしよう ちょっと　私服じゃマズイかな あぁ、何もかも放り出しちゃった午後
 * -|Kanji=

Wow 背伸びしたヒールじゃ ちょっと踏みだしにくいからさ 少しラフにフード着けて バレないように行こう

商店街　路地裏へ抜けて あぁ、なんだかドキドキしちゃいそうだ

ふいに風が吹いたら　フードが脱げて すぐさま観衆目線だ 「…やっぱいつも通りの 週末になっちゃいそうです」 散々だなぁ 辞めたいなぁ 満員御礼！なんて言うけど

その実ブルーなので 困っちゃうよ目立っちゃうな

散々だなぁ 逃げたいなぁ 期待しちゃうよ.

「もう私を見ないで！！」 …なんて言葉もポケットにしまおう.

Wow 昔からなんでか ちょっと人目を惹くんだよなぁ それもまぁ、もう慣れ始めてしまいそう

Wow 聞いたことあるんだ ちょっと思い出せないけど 「あぁもう！いやな体質だなぁ」 そんなこと言えもしないけれど

大通りがパニックに変わる もうアイドルなんて辞めちゃいたいよ

「こんな事になるとは…」 あの日の馬鹿な私は単純思考で ちょっとステージライトに 夢を描いちゃったんです…

散々だよ　言えないよ 歓声が溢れちゃうけど 「これそんな良いですか…？」 つまんないよ　解らないよ 散々だなぁ　消えたいなぁ 声にならずに 「嫌だ. 涙が出ちゃうよ」 そんな言葉でポケットを埋めた

…こんなんじゃもういけないね 歓声が聞こえてるでしょ？ 夢見てた風景に気づいたらもう出会っていて

「散々」なら変えたいな 一人じゃないよ さぁかっこつけないような言葉で

あぁ、なんだかいけそうだ！ 心臓が弾けちゃうほど溢れ出しそうなので 奪っちゃうよ！？ 伝えたいこと詰め込んだ そんな「夢」から もう目を離さないで さぁさぁ、明日もスキップで進もう！

Whoa, where should I go? I probably shouldn’t just wear street clothes… Ah, I’m blowing everything off this afternoon Whoa, if I wear really high heels it’ll be hard to walk, so I’ll dress kinda casual and wear a hoodie so I don’t get found out

From the shopping district I slip into the back streets Ah, somehow this walk is kind of thrilling But a sudden wind blows my hood off and all at once the crowd’s eyes are on me “… Oh great, of course, now it’s just my typical weekend”

This is miserable, I want to quit — even though I say “Thank you all for your support!” Honestly it makes me blue, it bothers me that I stand out so much This is miserable, I want to run away — To think I got my hopes up. “Don’t look at me!!” … I want to say, but I’ll keep those words in my pocket

Whoa, for some reason I’ve always drawn people’s gazes Somehow, though, I’ve started to get used to that Whoa, I’ve heard something about it, but I can’t quite remember… “Ugh, jeez, I hate being like this!” But I can’t say that either

The whole street is going into a panic I wanna quit being an idol, already “Never thought it would turn out like this…” Back then, just a stupid, innocent thought Was all it took to get me acting out dreams in the stage lights…

This is miserable, I can’t say it — Even though the crowd is cheering “Is this really so great…?” I’m tired of it, I don’t get it This is miserable, I want to disappear, but I can’t say anything “Oh crap, now I’m crying” — with those words, my pocket was filled up

… This won’t do. They’re all cheering for me, right? I’ve already found the scene I dreamed of If it’s “miserable,” then I want to change things — I’m not alone Now then, without trying to sound cool…

Ah, I think I can do it! My heart is close to overflowing, About to burst — So am I stealing your hearts? Am I stealing your hearts? This dream is packed full of everything I want to tell you So let’s keep our eyes on it and skip forward into tomorrow!!
