His compositions aim to go beyond traditional musical forms, pursuing new sonic possibilities and leaving a deep impression on listeners.

Hoshina applies this Zen approach to his music, expressing the balance between sound and silence, and the complexity hidden within simplicity. His music reflects the concept of "Mu" (nothingness) in Zen by eliminating excess and focusing on essential elements. Hoshina's works bridge tradition and modernity, East and West, and his music has inspired many people with its unique character.
