loveHoshino Gen
It’s no exaggeration to say that “Koi” is one of Gen Hoshino’s biggest hits.
It was used as the theme song for the drama “We Married as a Job!” and the Koi Dance set to this track became a huge fad.
As for the feel of the song, a bright, sophisticated melody plays from the very beginning, quickly joined by Hoshino’s gentle vocals.
With a four-on-the-floor kick drum pulsing throughout, you’ll find yourself grooving before you know it, and your mood will lift right along with it!
Dragon NightSEKAI NO OWARI
