The lyrics of Static-Pâs song "The Chase" are about someone who is interested in a girl, but she consistently ignores him. He believes that they were meant to be together, but he is hesitant to reveal his true feelings. The singer of the song is scared of rejection, so he doesn't want to be the one to pursue the girl. He is worried that if he shows his feelings, she will pretend to love him or hurt him. He is uncertain if the girl truly likes him or if she is just playing with him.
The girl appears to be out of the singer's league; she is always so fancy, and he can't keep up with her. He longs for her attention but is afraid of getting hurt. He thinks that she might be interested in him, but he is not sure. The singer wants to know if the girl really wants to be with him, or if he is just another dummy to her. He is looking for reassurance and validation from her.
In conclusion, "The Chase" is a song about unrequited love and the fear of getting hurt. The singer is afraid to reveal his true feelings to the girl he likes because he doesn't want to be rejected. The lyrics are relatable and universal, as many people have experienced unrequited love at some point in their lives.

I often think about how each song in the album not only tell part of a larger story, but also give their own broader message:
When the Darkness Comes: We all have the potential for darkness, and we must fight against it within ourselves.
Detective Detective: Empathy is a superpower.
Life Might Take Us: Life can be unexpected. Rather than fear the unknown, we should embrace the adventure.
Idol Bombing: Even in the worst of circumstances, grace and perseverance can make things better than revenge and despair.
No One's In This Alone: Trusting others is hard, and sometimes dangerous. But the goodness and community that comes from being open is worth the risk.
A Reason For Suffering: Life is full of hardship and strife. Our goal should not be to avoid suffering, but to find meaning by striving for something worth suffering for.
I'm Sorry: We are all imperfect, and that is okay. In fact, it is good that we are imperfect because "sorry" allows us to experience and practice the virtue of forgiveness.
Dream On: Despite how things are now, we should envision a future that is better, and then better ourselves to fight for that future. We should strive to be virtuous, not for our own sake, but for each others'.
Clues To A Poor Man's Briefcase: Bonds with others are formed through hardship and sacrifice. Those bonds make life worth living in any circumstances.
Bad News: Two visions of the world. Justice, where righteous people should fight to ensure merit is rewarded and evil is punished at all costs. Grace, where virtue is its own reward, and injustice should be met with quiet self-assurance.
Your Eyes: Hiding the truth only brings turmoil in the long run. We should be honest and allow others the space to be honest with us.
Stay Calm: When conflict or evil springs up, remaining rational and thinking quickly is the best course of action.
The Chase: Virtue is an action. When the time comes, swing, baby, swing! (And also, sometimes you have to jump off the third floor of a building and pretend to almost kill someone in order to get your friend to confess they bombed a singing competition under duress from an unknown source.)

A few years late but here due to Spotify's algorithm, I'd just like to share my theory, which is built on other theories mostly, and a bit of my own interpretation:
It all starts at the Charity Event, Nori meets up with Hareka and tells her of the whole rigged system. He presumably hates it, but is powerless against the much more monolithic structure that it represents, so he brews up a plan. He tries to get SBG to the top and, through that, somehow dismantle the system (Bad News).
This plan majorly backfires, as the ones who run the system figure Nori out immediately and he has to cover his tracks. He does this by pretending to kidnap Hareka, who is presumably in on the whole affair, and getting himself arrested, where the organizers of the system won't see him as a threat and at the same time knocking blame away from Hareka (Stay Calm).
However eventually someone makes the connection that Hareka was connected and forces her to carry the bomb into the Top Idol Competition, leading to the incident that discredits SBG and conveniently silences the only other person outside the system (Idol Bombing/The Chase). Detective Detective makes this connection in Your Eyes and Stay Calm.
However SBG don't give up, and slowly trudge through the obstacles set beside them, be it the risk of their club dissolving (Life Might Take Us), a lack of trust (No One's In This Alone) or even dying motivation in face of mounting troubles (A Reason For Suffering). Along this path, due to Kanesaki Hyudou's interference, Detective Detective gets swept up into it and ends up deep into this investigation (No One's in This Alone), presumably the group behind the rigging try to orchestrate a way to discredit him as well, thus creating the kidnapping seen in Detective Detective in an attempt to frame Detective Detective of the bank robbery (Detective Detective).
Despite being on their side (as clearly stated in Dream On!), Detective's presence constantly brings SBG's thoughts back to the bombing, so as an apology he takes them to Kanesaki's lakeside property. While there Kanesaki, most likely at Detective's request, brings New Meteor and Aka Sensei there as well, presumably so Detective can learn about their side of the story in the bombing (I'm Sorry!)
After overhearing a heart-to-heart that Cole has with Detective (Dream On!), Hareka decides to tell more about what she knows, revealing Nori's involvement but still hiding crucial details from Detective due to the fear of what might happen to her, or maybe even Nori, should she overshare. Despite this, Detective still puts the pieces she left out together. (Bad News/Your Eyes).
Due to this, Detective goes to have a talk with Nori, who knowing what he knows, dances around Detective's questions while still hinting at answers, such as suggesting the idol bombing was out of his control and most likely staged by his enemies. Presumably Nori is trying to keep heat away from himself despite still being in jail, while giving enough for Detective to work with so he can build a slow case against the structure Nori despises (Stay Calm).
Armed with this information, Detective sets a trap for Hareka. He sets up a meeting with her in the clubroom and has Kanesaki walk in and run off, making him look like the culprit. Using Kanesaki as bait and his (fake) gun as a threat, Detective forces a confession out of Haruka whose guilt had finally grown to be unbearable. (The Chase)
As far as I know, based on my and other's interpretations, this is the state of Criminal Idol as of the end of S1, thank you very much, Spotify algorithm, for showing me this beautiful series!
@WORMPONY
Now we know the real culprit was not the teacher or Hareka. So now I believe I know for certain who it was when Hareka said âI was told if I didnât, my parents-â
Here is my thought:
Nori.
A lot of clues point to him. âStay Calmâ tells us about how he kidnapped Nori and threatened her in an abandoned building. I was very certain of this at first, but now I am most definitely certain it was Nori.

Detective Detective really yeeted himself out a three-story window to play with water guns.

And you're saying you wouldn't?
@shieru2207
I can't believe it's been four years already. Static is quite sneaky, he promised us the identity of the bomber, not of the true guilty party, and he delivered on that exact promise. Kudos!
