幻想に咲く花びら 夜に浮かんで 消えてく 蒼くにじんだ 空を見上げて 心が堕ちていく 君のヒカリをこの世に受け 信じて守り続けると 終わることない この長い夜を 抜け出す力が欲しいから 見えない星頼りにした 君探した日々 今はもう霞むけれど 前に走り出した この傷跡が私を今でも 強くしているから

前に走り出したこの傷跡が私を 今でも 強くしているから 幻想に咲く 花びら夜に浮かんで 消えてく 蒼くにじんだ 空を見上げて 心が堕ちていく 君のヒカリをこの世に受け 信じて守り続けると 終わることない この長い夜を 抜け出す力が欲しいから 見えない星 頼りにした 君 さがした日々 今はもう霞むけれど 前に走り出したこの傷跡が私を 今でも 強くしているから 幻想に舞う 花びら闇に浮かんで 色めく 黒に染まった 冷たい月が 私を見放すの ☆あの日見つけた二人の夢 抱えて歩き続けると 朽ちることない この幻想花 確かな願いに変わるから 刹那の夢 抱きしめていた 君 描いた日々 この手に溢れるほどに 夜を這い上がったこの夢跡が 私を ここから導いていくから ☆Repeat 刹那の夢 抱きしめていた 君 描いた日々 今はもう迷わないよ 夜を這い上がったこの夢跡が 私を ここから導いていくから |

Music Comment
An aggressive metallic sound that overlaps with the voice of a diva. Are you seeing an illusion? Or maybe....

To everyone reading the homepage (^ ^) Hello☆ I'm Kanako Hoshino♪
It's been a long time since I last sang in the Gitadora series (grateful tears). 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.
"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 a band called JASKY). Please enjoy Hoshino getting carried away with it.
And I always think of those playing in the arcade as good children, but please try to go crazy when playing this song★
You should notice a brand-new self.... well, please love it eternally o(^-^)o
DJ YOSHITAKA
There are very few choices you can make in life, right?! Life is hard, isn't it?!
To those who have no idea what I'm saying, please listen to episode 14 of "Musician's Room XG", a critically acclaimed stream on Gitadora XG's Web Radio!

Hello☆
I'm Kanako Hoshino♪
It's been a long time since I last sang in the Gitadora series (grateful tears).
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.
"Gensouka" is a song about stimulus and temptation that's far from somewhere real at night = an illusionary flower.
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.
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☆

Have you been playing Gensouka?!
I'm happy that this is my first pop'n music song to be included in the arcades.
I've waited many years for this,,, (tears)
I'd be happy if you can play it as sad, brief, and fiercely as this song♪
I'll also try to play and release many songs, so please support me from now on★

Hello, Gitadora.
Hoshino shows a different side of herself in DIVA METAL.
It feels like a fantasy world, with a different atmosphere than usual, and magical lyrical contents.
Also, is this somehow her first time participating in pop'n??
Welcome to pop'n music.
eimy
Is this somehow Hoshino's first song? I wonder if she'll sing in pop'n someday~!
Chihi
Welcome to pop'n, Hoshino~♪
Her cool vocals are exciting!
Mameshiba
I like the pre-chorus. It's cool.
The guitar solo is very majestic! It feels nice to listen to.
LENA quite suits this as well, that I thought she was the original singer.
masaru
I was surprised that it was quite metal. And extremely cool.
Kanako Hoshino's singing voice also withstands the intense metal!
shio
Diva... DIVA. It's wonderful~. The blue lights in the live movie of this impressive song reminds me of that movie directed by Beineix. My illustration was also inspired by it.
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.
Since she was in a metal song in Gitadora, she now dreamed~ of showing off her new singing voice in pop'n.
wac
That's right. Did you know?
This is actually the first time that Hosshi's singing voice appears in a pop'n cabinet.
Even though Hosshi and I always talk about wanting to appear in pop'n, it was very difficult to materialize, wasn't it?
As a result of this opportunity, I'd be happy if she becomes very active in the pop'n series.
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.
But, when I often look back, I was particularly nervous although it wasn't my turn to perform.
