HO-N-NE (Jazz)

Which Yuuka do you prefer
Yuuka Kurosaki is an AI artist who moves freely across time, changing her age, mood, and story as naturally as turning a page in a manga.

On December 13 2025, two contrasting versions of Yuuka will be released together.
Dokajan Boogie shows Yuuka in her late teens, filled with raw energy and emotion.
HO N NE Jazz Version presents Yuuka in her thirties, carrying the weight of experience and the quiet strength of a grown woman.

HO N NE Jazz Version is a bold rearrangement of Yuuka Kurosaki s debut track Honne released in December 2024.
The original title HO N NE expresses two layered meanings in Japanese the true feelings one hides in the heart, and the unspoken intentions that remain beneath the surface.
This new version reshapes those ideas into an English language jazz piece with a deeper and more intimate tone.

The story imagined for this track is as follows.
After her debut and even a successful stadium performance, Yuuka leaves her life in Japan and travels alone to New York with only her guitar.
In her thirties, she is found singing HO N NE in a small bar on the edge of the city, where the lights are dim and the night feels endless.

The jacket artwork, drawn in pen by the creator just like the art for Dokajan Boogie, was made while listening to Honne on repeat.
The illustration captures how Yuuka might look as a more mature artist shaped by time and experience.

This song reveals another side of Yuuka Kurosaki a version formed by reflection, emotion, and the shadows of real experience.
Together with the youthful energy of Dokajan Boogie, it shows the full range of a character who exists beyond the limits of age.
