About Create
"Create" is a song by Japanese singer-songwriter and musician Gen Hoshino from his fifth studio album, Gen (2025). The theme song to the 35th anniversary of the Nintendo video game Super Mario Bros. (1985), the song first appeared in a June 2020 commercial. Speedstar Records released it as a digital single on February 17, 2021, before a physical double A-sided CD with "Fushigi" was issued on June 23, 2021. Inspired by Nintendo's creative philosophy, Hoshino wrote and produced the track, and co-arranged it with Mabanua. A J-pop, progressive pop, and soul song, the lyrics sees Hoshino encouraging listeners to create. It features several references to Nintendo, such as the start-up jingle to their GameCube console, sound effects from Super Mario Bros., and homages to the company's history.
