Released in 2016 and starring Gen Hoshino himself, the drama “We Married as a Job!” (Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu) sparked huge buzz with its theme song “Koi,” which, together with the “Koi Dance” featured in the ending, became a social phenomenon.
Delving deeply into the diversity of romance and love, this song is brimming with an energy that makes you naturally want to express your feelings to a partner or someone you like.
No matter how different one’s romantic orientation may be, its messages are relatable to everyone.
It’s recommended not only for those in love, but also for anyone interested in the diversity of love.
In particular, for people who struggle to express their emotions in their own words, this song can offer courage and the language to do so.
Family SongHoshino Gen2rank/position
“Family Song” is Hoshino Gen’s 10th single, released in 2017.
It was the theme song for the Nippon TV drama “Kahogo no Kahoko,” starring Mitsuki Takahata.
The lyrics were written around the theme of “What is family?”, and Hoshino wanted to create a generous, inclusive song that embraces friends, coworkers, and both heterosexual and same-sex couples.
It’s a track that conveys many forms of affection and a great, encompassing love.
Highly recommended for couples who’ve just started dating as well as those who are starting to think about marriage!

It’s a warm number that gently embraces those indescribable feelings that arise between people you hold dear.
Have you ever felt that inexplicable sense of “Why do I love this person?”—not just the thrill of romance, but the unexplainable emotion that surfaces as two people meet and build a relationship? Gen Hoshino delicately captures those mysterious, cherished feelings with a sound that fits right into everyday life.
Written in April 2021 as the theme song for the TBS drama “Kikazaru Koi ni wa Riyuu ga Atte,” the track was also included on the single “Fushigi/Souzou,” released in June of the same year.
It’s a recommended song for those moments when you suddenly feel like expressing gratitude to an irreplaceable presence by your side, whether a partner or a friend.
The Habit SongHoshino Gen4rank/position
I want to convey that Gen Hoshino’s love songs are not just “Koi.” I’d like people who came to like him through “Koi” to listen to “Kuse no Uta.” While many of his recent songs are stylish and pop, his first album, “Baka no Uta,” starting with “Kuse no Uta,” is full of masterpieces with simple, down-to-earth arrangements.

A heartwarming song that gently portrays the love hidden in everyday, ordinary moments.
Its lyrics express love through the five senses, and a pleasant melody infused with jazz elements blends seamlessly to create a tender world that anyone can relate to.
Described by Gen Hoshino as “the first love song I wrote head-on,” the track was released as a single in March 2011 and is also included on the album Episode.
It reached No.
17 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and stayed on the charts for 24 weeks, gaining widespread popularity.
Singing softly about the subtleties of human relationships—exchanges between lovers and reconciliation after hurting one another—this is a recommended song for anyone who wants to cherish time with someone special.
Pop VirusHoshino Gen6rank/position
Amid its pop sound, this track carries a hip-hop-like sense of rhythm.
It’s so rhythmic you can’t help but move your body.
And in “Pop Virus,” love-filled words are actually sprinkled throughout.
Hoshino Gen’s unique expressions feel artistic and cool.
What comes through is the message: “I’ll love you forever.”

A coupling track to singer-songwriter Gen Hoshino’s single “Koi,” released on October 5, 2016.
It’s a slow, mellow song perfect for listening at dawn, expressing the feeling of wanting to linger a bit longer in memories even though tomorrow will come.
