Gen Hoshino’s single “Hikari no Ato” is a work that portrays the evolution of emotions, and it also serves as the ending theme for the film SPY×FAMILY CODE: White.

It features a sound reminiscent of Western music from the ’80s and ’90s, yet it transcends genre and showcases Hoshino’s unique character.

The secret to its singability lies in its gentle melody and relaxed tempo—you can take your time and sing while confirming each note.

There are spots that use falsetto, so some practice is needed, and the chorus sustains higher notes; if that’s challenging, try adjusting the key.
