Popular online music creator Erios released their newest title Knights Now! which sent ripples across the online idol scene, creating a divide within the fan community upon the first few hours of its release. Some fans claim that the singer’s lyrics were created to criticize the obsessive stalker behaviour of extreme “stans”, also known as “stalker-fans”, while long-time fans of the musician claim that it was all just for fun.

Despite their high popularity status within the online music sphere, Erios is one of the most interactive musicians on social media when it comes to interacting with fans. So it was no surprise to see them reply to a post directly asking them about the purpose behind their newest track:
Whether fans love it or hate it, it’s safe to say that Knights Now! sparked various conversations between fans and rekindled discussions regarding boundaries between idols and their supporters.

Trembling with excitement, I want to pin him down and squeeze him in my embrace. Of course, it's not impossible for him to bite my arm. You can bite if you want, Leo-san!

In the morning, I want to stealthily give him a set of cat ears, just to see how long it'll take him to notice,
but before I could notice, Tsukasa-kun would have already gone out of the house, and when he’d finally have returned in the evening,
he'd grip his cat-ear headband in his hand and glare my way with a red face, so that I could reflect on my wrongdoing.
