日本の伝承音楽「ほたるこい」をモチーフにした曲。
ループマシンBOSS RC50を使って輪唱のようにアレンジした問題作。
途中の和歌は、平安時代の歌人、和泉式部の作。
「もの思えば、沢の蛍も我が身より あくがれ出ずる魂かとぞ見る」
（沢の近くで物思いにふけっていると、周りを飛び交う蛍がまるで私の体から出てきた魂のように思えてくる。）

福岡在住の映像作家、矢野悦郎氏が撮影、演出、ストーリーを手がけた幻想的な映像もある。
Youtubeで視聴可能。

lyrics

Hotaru Koi

Come,come here, firefly.
The water is bitter over there.
The water is sweet around here.
Come,come here, firefly.

When I think about something at brook.
I felt as if that fireflies is my soul which goes through my body.


ほたるこい
ほ　ほ　ほたるこい
あっちの水は苦いぞ
こっちの水は甘いぞ
ほ　ほ　ほたるこい

沢を越えてまたこいこい
行燈の灯りをたよりにこい

”もの思えば　沢の蛍も我が身より
あくがれ出づる魂かとぞ見る”
