mysteryHoshino Gen
Gen Hoshino’s song has been selected as the new commercial theme for Kirin Beer.
Its lyrics, which express deep feelings of love, and its 1980s-inspired sound are especially appealing.
Released as a digital-only single in April 2021, it also drew attention as a TV drama theme.
The track was later used in commercials for Tanrei Green Label, in which Hoshino himself appears.

As she chats with her childhood friend with a smile and the preparations for the food stalls progress enjoyably, it conveys the heat and freshness of summer, along with the mounting excitement as the event approaches.
Further accentuating the cheerful atmosphere of the visuals is the song “Sainara” by Arata Manako.
Its light, acoustic sound—tinged with a sense of busyness—and the brisk, fast-paced vocals amplify the feeling of exhilaration.
