Just released “THE IDOL \/ WAKU\u00b2 PROMISE”<\/strong> is Runa Hoshino’s<\/strong> first solo single. It has two strong & catchy songs plus instrumental versions of them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Runa (now 15, soon 16) is still an indie circuit idol doing regularly cover singing & dancing at Tokyo Idol Theatre<\/strong> events and at her own FC solo events.<\/p>\n

This single has two so-called A-sides. Songs are composed by Shuhei Moriyama<\/strong> an lyrics are from Runa herself.<\/p>\n

“THE IDOL” has quite personal lyrics. Runa sings how she is an idol and also hard-working and ambitious student at school. The message of this song is very positive and encouraging.<\/p>\n

Even if you’re weak, even if you’re scared, keep going towards your dreams<\/em>
\nFlying high, she’s flying higher to the wide sky<\/em>
\nRaise your face, face forward, wipe away your tears and make up your mind<\/em>
\nEven if you cry, it’s okay<\/em>
\nEven if I fail, I’m fine<\/em>
\nBut I won’t lose, I will definitely win<\/em>
\nBecause I’m an idol<\/em><\/p>\n

I love Runa’s voice. It’s clear and has a little amount of huskiness which makes her singing even more enjoyable. If you have listened to Japanese rock band Ikimonogakari<\/strong> also it’s singer Kiyoe Yoshioka<\/strong> has that lovely hoarse flavor in her voice. I could listen to Runa’s singing for hours never getting tired. She really has IT: The Voice.<\/p>\n

As Runa is my number 1 Japanese cover singer & dancer I am going to do soon some more posts about her here on kakko-ii-blog.<\/p>\n

You can listen to THE IDOL song @ Youtube ><\/a><\/p>\n
