Gen Hoshino – 2 (feat. Lee Youngji) [Official Video]

In May 2025, Gen Hoshino released his album “Gen,” his first in about six and a half years.

The music video for “2 (feat.

Lee Youngji),” a collaboration with the Korean rapper Lee Youngji included on the album, was released in September of the same year.

Over a groovy track crafted by Hoshino himself, refreshing vocals and powerful rap intersect.

You can’t help but feel drawn body and soul into its cool world.

Listening while gazing at a city nightscape might just make everyday life feel a little more special.

Crazy CrazyHoshino Gen30rank/position

Gen Hoshino – Crazy Crazy (Official Video)

One of the two A-side tracks on Gen-san’s first double A-side single.

It was released in 2014 as his seventh single.

It’s a song that makes your body sway to a steady tempo, so you can really get into the groove while singing.

The overall pitch is average, but the chorus tends to stay on the higher side, so it’s good to stay mindful of the vocal rhythm.

The lowest note is mid1 D and the highest is mid2 G, so the range is relatively narrow.

It should be easier to sing for men with slightly higher voices.

Try singing it with the image of riding along the rhythm’s rails!

Gen Hoshino – Cube (Official Video)

A digital-only single by Gen Hoshino, released on October 8, 2021.

It was written as the theme song for Shochiku’s film “CUBE: Once You Enter, There’s No Going Back.” The most important factor in performing this song is, without a doubt, whether you can sing without being thrown off by the highly distinctive and complex drum pattern that stands out on first listen.

If you don’t firmly feel the melody’s rhythm within yourself as you sing, your vocals will be swallowed by the drums.

Prioritize that point and practice with it as your top focus.

Gen Hoshino – Eureka [Official Video]

It was produced as the theme song for “Madoka, 26, I’m a Resident!” released in January 2025.

If you watched the drama, it might sound familiar.

It’s a calm ballad with a relaxed tempo and understated lyrics, and because there isn’t much pitch movement, it’s easy to sing steadily—perfect even for middle schoolers! Also, the 3-and-a-half-minute length makes it easy to learn quickly.

Hoshino Gen’s clean, light falsetto appears several times, but if you sing with a gentle, humming feel overall, it’s easier to stay on pitch and to produce the falsetto.

It’s not a song you belt, so aim for a high score by watching the pitch bar and singing each note carefully.

Rather than “pushing out your voice,” think of “letting the breath flow,” and ride the song smoothly—you might find it brings out your expressiveness, too.

Mad HopeHoshino Gen33rank/position

Gen Hoshino – Mad Hope (feat. Louis Cole, Sam Gendel, Sam Wilkes) [Official Video]

This song was written as the theme for the Netflix talk show “LIGHTHOUSE: Two Troubled Souls, Six Months of Conversation.” It’s included on the album “Gen,” released in May 2025, and drew major attention when its music video—directed by web writer ARuFa—was released in July.

The track is characterized by a thrilling sound that seems to distill seemingly reckless hope straight into music.

It’s the kind of song that can make you feel your mental boundaries falling away.

Perfect when you want creative stimulation or need a change of pace!

Let's Dance at Home (Potluck Mix)

That song that became a social phenomenon on social media has been reborn with a full band sound.

Released in May 2020, this piece is a roughly 90-second number that began with Gen Hoshino’s home-recorded solo performance, then was completed by his live band members layering their parts from their respective locations.

With drums, bass, and horns added, it transforms from the acoustic feel of the original into a groove-packed arrangement that makes your body move.

The lyrics tell us that even if we can’t meet, our hearts are connected, and they celebrate the joy of dancing freely at home.

Perfect for refreshing your mood!

Gen Hoshino – Kuse no Uta (Official Video)

When it comes to karaoke-friendly songs, you naturally want to look for slower tracks.

“Kuse no Uta,” included on the first album released in 2010, is a love song that draws you in with that unhurried charm.

The lyrics, which candidly express the desire to get to know someone you like, really hit home.

From the latter half of the second chorus, the melody has a slightly taut height, but the pitch still stays on the lower side.

The way it’s sung—almost like laying bare one’s inner voice—also makes it feel very approachable, don’t you think?
