Probably like a lot of many other kids, I found out about the word "Eureka!" while reading a children's reader on Archimedes. Testing that principle myself, I found out I could overextend it by a good country cube...a little guy, I wasn't.
Now, this all brings us to singer-songwriter Gen Hoshino's（星野源）latest single from the last several days "Eureka". I've been a fan of the guy for his catchy tunes but it's been over a couple of years since I last posted up a Hoshino song and that was "Kigeki"（喜劇）, my very favourite because of the combination of Gen and groovy.
Hoshino continues the Gen and groovy with "Eureka". Not sure if it's been picked up as a theme for a J-Drama or as a commercial tune, but I certainly like it for its relatively low-key rhythms and delivery. Just like "Kigeki", it's got that nice bit of soul mixed in with the pop as well. Plus, I will always appreciate a good piano pop piece.
Well, whaddaya know! It has been used as the theme for the currently-running TBS drama "Madoka 26-sai, Kenshuui Yattemasu!"（まどか26歳、研修医やってます!...Diary of a Surgical Resident : Madoka）.
