SUNHoshino Gen
This is a song written in response to an offer to provide the theme for Fuji TV’s drama “Kokoro ga Pokitto ne.” We were excited every week by Sadao Abe’s spirited performance in the show, weren’t we? As its title suggests, “SUN” uses the sun as its motif; however, this sun also subtly evokes the presence of a girl, making it a very suggestive love song.
The way it entertains feels like the ultimate expression of Hoshino’s brand of pop music.
By the way, OKAMOTO’S Hama Okamoto also participated on this track as bassist and backing vocalist!
