It's been a long time since I last sang in the Gitadora series (grateful tears). Is this my latest song in Gitadora since "[[Day's!|Day's]]"?! DJ YOSHITAKA composed it. The arrangement is done by Nao Harada, who has arranged SKE48 and anime songs.<br>

"Gensouka" is different from Hoshino's usual songs, and I tried to express its dark and evil parts. And is the movie scary!? I sang it while surrounded by men (They're handsome members in the band called JASKY). Please enjoy Hoshino getting carried away with it.<br>

Hello☆<br>
I'm Kanako Hoshino♪<br>
It's been a long time since I last sang in the Gitadora series (grateful tears).<br>
Is this my first song in Gitadora since "Day's"?! DJ YOSHITAKA composed it. The arrangement is done by Nao Harada, who has arranged SKE48 and anime songs.<br>
"Gensouka" is a song about stimulus and temptation that's far from somewhere real at night = an illusionary flower.<br>
I wrote this song with such feelings that even if they might disappear in the morning, I seem to believe that love is born from there, and want to look forward to it.<br>
This song could've perhaps been sung by someone else, but when I decided to sing it, I remember having strong feelings of "I can sing this", so this song is filled with such feelings. Although it's titled "Gensouka", I'd be happy if listening to this song gives you an opportunity to somehow pick real flowers instead of illusionary ones (>_<) Please enjoy feeling slightly evil when playing it in the game☆

Diva... DIVA. It's wonderful~. The blue lights in the live movie of this impressive song makes me remember that movie directed by Beineix. I tried to also imagine this in my illustration.

Personally, Hoshino is the diva of the IIDX castle! So, I thought she was protected from going outside the kingdom by its knights, but she was interested in pop'n! They couldn't let the princess cry.<br>

By the way, this song was sung at last year's live AOU show, but it was performed when I was about to appear on-stage, so I still feel a bit nervous when I listen to it now.<br>
