QUEEN BEE releases ending theme song for ‘Oshi no Ko’ | “Mephisto”

“Lies are love. Even though love cannot become a lie. Waiting for a reason to live on the stage. It’s like we’ve been separated all our lives, but finally met.
 
The faces of those who are supporting us from the bottom of their hearts look like they’re about to cry, they’re pure but insensitive and hungry. Every time I look at their broken smiles, I think that lies are love. There’s nothing but love, and love cannot become a lie.
On the stage, the sad light shines brightly.
 
QUEEN BEE performed the ending theme song for “Oshi no Ko”, the modern masterpiece of revenge drama in the entertainment industry. The song is titled “Mephisto”, the devil of wishes.
 
Please look forward to it in a grand manner.”
