This is 4th article by Fukiko.
Today, I'll introduce about Hoshino Gen (星野 源）.
Hoshino Gen is a singer-songwriter. I don't know well what his songs'genre is.
(He may a pop-singer because he loves pop-music.)
He is so talented musician,and he is also a writer and an acter,too.
He has been acting in many TV dramas, Japanese movies, and TV commercials.
Also, he wrote two essays.
This is his latest new album,“STRANGER”.
His lyrics are so realistic, so I sometimes feel a little bit sad when I see his words.
However, some melodies are so light and cheerful.
From last year to early this year, he had been in the hospital because of the disease.
Today, he has been singing, acting and writing again since he left the hospital.
His constructive ideas make many fans having same pangs like him cheer.
During his hospital life, he said he was thinking of many kind of things.
Here is one of his jokes:
“I came up with a new word! When we apologize, we usually bow to someone. Nevertheless, sometimes we don't apology at all in our mind with bowing. I named this situation ‘REM-apology’.”
His struggling with illness seemed not to have been just painful.
☆Thank you for reading☆
I'll check out some of his music on YouTube tonight. I don't really understand the joke about apologizing (REM?)
返信削除I guess you may like this kind of music like his songs.
削除You know the word “REM-sleep(and non REM-sleep)”,don't you?
Perhaps, then he thought that superficial apologizing looked like REM-sleep,comparering earnest one...:)
Ah, okay, now I understand. The kind of routine, unthinking actions that we perform so often and don't really mean so much.
