Music writer / guitarist / Certified web writing practitionerHoshino Takashi
Drawing on over 30 years of experience with guitars and bands since my high school days, I specialize in music-related articles and have handled many feature pieces to date. While my tastes lean toward genres like hard rock and heavy metal since I first picked up the guitar, I make a point of listening to a wide range of styles, both Japanese and Western, on a daily basis. I began working as a freelance writer in 2018. I hold a Web Writing Practical Certification, and in addition to writing, I’m also studying video editing. In my private life, I’m raising an elementary school child and stay active while supporting their extracurriculars, such as parkour and dance.

In recent years, thanks to the rise of social media, there’s been a growing trend of songs gaining attention from dance cover videos posted by everyday users.

[Dance] 🖐🏻🖐🏻✊🏻 CUTIE STREET’s new song “Love Train”#Kyusuto Idol #KAWAII #fyp #CUTIESTREET
Love Training – 1st Chorus ver. – CUTIE STREET

This is CUTIE STREET’s February 2025 single, a song that likens a girl’s heart-fluttering rush into love to a speeding train.

It captures the excitement of a girl changing her hairstyle and heading out on a date, her possessiveness toward the popular boy she likes, and her wish for special time alone together—various emotions of a lovestruck girl expressed over a pop melody.

Contemporary youth romance is deftly portrayed, too—like a date scene where they share an açaí bowl—making it a highly relatable piece.

After the music video dropped in March 2025, the song became a massive hit, surpassing 5 billion total views on social media.

The train-themed choreography is simple and catchy, perfect for filming dance videos with friends or turning up the fun at karaoke.
