Gen Hoshino – Cube (Official Video)

This song sung by Gen Hoshino was written as the theme for the film “CUBE: Once You Enter, There’s No Turning Back.” Its rapidly shifting arrangement and beats create a thrilling number that echoes the film itself.

The destructive bassline, which gives the ensemble a sense of speed, further clarifies the track’s avant-garde character.

Even amid the complex arrangement, the bass provides a solid presence and core—listen with a focus on the bass in this track.

A hidden gem by Gen Hoshino that gently stirs the emotions lying deep within the listener’s heart.

Included on the album “Stranger,” this piece delicately portrays loneliness, hope for the unknown, and the value of miraculous encounters.

Released in May 2013, the album is a tour de force in which Hoshino himself plays many instruments and handles the lyrics, composition, and arrangement.

Beneath its light, upbeat rhythm, the lyrics carry a touch of melancholy that resonates deeply.

It’s a song I especially recommend to those seeking new encounters or a dialogue with themselves.

Tried dancing Doraemon! [Playtime] [Dance] [Kirari Nursery School]

How about having the kids dance to a song from Doraemon that they all love? Gen Hoshino’s “Doraemon,” which was the theme song for the film Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Treasure Island and also used as the opening theme for the Doraemon TV anime, is perfect.

Since it’s a song many children already know, they’ll quickly pick up the moves and have fun.

It’s also great to dress up in costumes inspired by Doraemon and other characters from the anime! There are plenty of simple choreography videos for young children on video sites, so be sure to use those as a reference.

Let’s Dance at Home (Potluck Mix)Hoshino Gen62rank/position

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!

Goo (Hoshino Gen cover)

It’s a song about how your own place is the best.

More than any thrill or shock, I love the place where I feel at ease, and that’s where I want to be—that’s how I feel.

I like the chorus’s repeating “goo” rhythm; it’s cute.

It’s by no means a flashy song, but it’s one that can bring a gentle smile.
