HOKUTO, known to many as Hokuto Yoshino of LDH JAPAN’s popular vocal and dance group THE RAMPAGE from EXILE TRIBE, continues to captivate fans with his solo musical endeavors. His latest offering, the third digital single titled “Futari de Iyou ka” (meaning “We should stay together”), officially dropped on September 29. Accompanying the release is a charming new music video, now available on his official YouTube channel. This heartfelt track isn’t just a new song; “Futari de Iyou ka” has been selected as the opening theme for the upcoming second cour of the delightful TV anime *Solo Camping for Two*.
The beautiful melody and lyrics of “Futari de Iyou ka” were crafted by the talented singer-songwriter Furui Rihok. The visual narrative of the music video was brought to life by multi-creator ISSEI TERADA, who previously directed HOKUTO’s second digital single, “MINE.” The music video offers a unique glimpse into HOKUTO’s daily life, set against a stunning mountain backdrop where he is joined by a deer. HOKUTO himself shared his thoughts on the video, describing it as “a work that has a slightly country-like atmosphere, an outdoor feel, and a sense of warmth.” He particularly highlighted a surreal yet heartwarming scene involving a motionless deer doll, expressing his hope that viewers would “watch it and feel all warm and fuzzy inside!”
Fans of tranquil, nature-infused stories are already familiar with *Solo Camping for Two*, the TV anime adaptation of Yudai Debata’s popular camping-themed slice-of-life manga. The series premiered earlier this year, charming audiences with its unique blend of humor and outdoor serenity. Its highly anticipated second cour is set to begin on October 2. For viewers in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, CIS, India, and Southeast Asia, Crunchyroll is the go-to platform for streaming the *Solo Camping for Two* TV anime. The series introduces us to Gen Kinokura, a seasoned solo camper who cherishes his peaceful trips. His solitude is hilariously interrupted by Shizuku Kusano, an enthusiastic but utterly clueless newcomer who literally crashes his campsite. What ensues is a heartwarming and often comical adventure as Gen, a bothered outdoorsman, finds himself teaching Shizuku the ropes of camping, leading to shared laughs, memorable mishaps, and truly heartwarming moments under the stars.
