Bae Love

**"Bae Love"** is the ninth installment of the *Idol Series*, focusing on Minami and his interactions with Nakuru, a Youtuber he works with and has a crush on.

A performance of this song was released on Youtube for the *Minami Channel* video series. The song was also performed at the 2019 LIP×LIP and Minami Special concert, and made an appearance on the third *CEC* compilation album *Sukisugite Yabai. ~Kokuhaku Jikkou Iinkai Character Song Collection~*.

The song has something of a sequel in Minami's later character song "1% no Koibito".

## Synopsis

The song is meant to be the subject of an in-universe music video. In it, Minami sees a purple-haired girl at his school's entrance and falls in love with her at first sight. After he works up the courage to talk to her, she reciprocates and the two begin dating. While the girl, Nakuru, is needy and sometimes is hard to read, their relationship is shown to be carefree and fun, accompanied by taking pictures of their dates to the point where their phone storage is nearly full. He even invites the girl onto his channel for a video, and comforts her when she gets upset about the dislikes.
At the end of the music video, Nakuru's cameraman, staff, and Instagram post say that the filming of the in-universe MV is over. Minami eventually is revealed to have fallen in love with Nakuru for real because of their interactions on set.

## Lyrics

* Kanji
* Romaji

所謂　ひ・ひ・ひ　一目惚れ

この気持ちどうしよう

み・み・み　見惚れちゃって

いつの間にか大胆！

話しかけちゃって

緊張とかバレバレで

つ・つ・つ　通じてる？

共通点発見して

今じゃ二人デート

オシャレして出かけて

写真も沢山撮って

チーズドック食べて

二人のアルバム増やそう

容量足りなくなるくらいに

キメ顔ももっと盛っちゃえ

低速になんか負けない！

どうしよう幸せすぎ

この瞬間を全世界にシェア

❤❤❤（ラヴ・ラヴ・ラヴ）

き・き・き　既読無視？

にゃにゃにゃんだか怒らせて

うぇ・うぇ　Web検索

乙女心わからない

機嫌直してよ

花束なんてどうかな

む・む・む　難しいな

やっぱりコスメがいいかな？

映える場所探して

オシャレして出かけて

動画もたくさん撮って

ドッキリしたり

黒歴史だって増やそう

気にしないで無茶ぶり応えて

泣き顔ももっと見せちゃえ

BADがついてちょっと凹んで

二人出会えたのは

運命なんだって思わせて・て・て

あれしたーい

これしたーい

正直わがままも多い

OK! ALL OK!

叶えましょう

「おいでってば～！」

映える場所探して

オシャレして出かけて

たまには好きって言葉にして

運命の人 Ah

二人のアルバム増やそう

容量足りなくなるくらいに

時にはグッと近づいて

ドキドキ距離今でも嬉しくて

もっともっと溢れちゃうから

全世界にシェア

❤❤❤（ラヴ・ラヴ・ラヴ）

## Trivia

* The "Bae" in the title refers to *Instabae*, a term for photos that would look good when posting to Instagram, as Minami and Nakuru post on the social media service throughout the video. The equivalent English term would be "Instagenic".
* Just as the PV for "Kawaiiku Naritai" includes in-character Instagram accounts that were later used to advertise the song, so too does this music video. One each was created for for Minami and Nakuru. Similarly, beyond the PV advertisements, they don't update the accounts often. Minami's updated once to reflect the events of 1% no Koibito, as its PV was released at the time.
* Futenyan, Y!Mobile's animal mascot, appears as SNS stickers in the video.
