Kohei Yoshino is a singer-songwriter based in Vancouver. Since he picked up an acoustic guitar at the age of 10, Kohei has actively performed in bands in countries such as Japan, Mexico, and Canada. Currently he spends most of his time writing his own music and entertaining locals and tourists on Granville Island.

Released on Aug. 23, 2006, "Sorafune"/"Do! Do! Do!" is a double A-side single by Tokio. It is the 36th release for the group, and also has been their most commercially successful effort after their 1995 best-selling debut single "Love You Only".

"Sorafune" was composed by Japanese recording artist Miyuki Nakajima (中島 みゆき), who has also gained success as a songwriter for other interpreters such as Naoko Ken and Shizuka Kudo. In July 2006, the song premiered on Japanese television drama "My Boss My Hero" starring the group's primary vocalist Tomoya Nagase. Likewise, "Do! Do! Do!" was featured on commercials for Xbox 360 that the band appeared in.

The double A-side CD single debuted at number one on the Japanese Oricon singles chart, having sold over 120,000 copies in the first week. The band's fifth chart-topper "Sorafune"/"Do!Do!Do!" achieved enduring commercial success, entering the Oricon for over a year with physical sales in excess of 484,000 copies and becoming their longest charting material to date. The CD single was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan for shipments of over 600,000 units.

Sorafune 宙船(そらふね) lyrics:

Words/Music: Nakashima Miyuki

その船を漕いでゆけ　おまえの手で漕いでゆけ
sono fune wo koideyuke omae no te de koideyuke
おまえが消えて喜ぶ者に　おまえのオールをまかせるな
omae ga kiete yorokobu mono ni omae no ooru wo makaseru na

その船は今どこに　ふらふらと浮かんでいるのか
sono fune wa ima doko ni fura fura to ukandeiru no ka
その船は今どこで　ボロボロで進んでいるのか
sono fune wa ima doko de boro boro de susundeiru no ka
流されまいと逆らいながら
nagasaremai to sakarainagara
船は挑み　船は傷み
fune wa idomi fune wa itami
すべての水夫が恐れをなして逃げ去っても
subete no suifu ga osore wo nashite nigesattemo

その船を漕いでゆけ　おまえの手で漕いでゆけ
sono fune wo koideyuke omae no te de koideyuke
おまえが消えて喜ぶ者に　おまえのオールをまかせるな
omae ga kiete yorokobu mono ni omae no ooru wo makaseru na

その船は自らを宙船と　忘れているのか
sono fune wa mizukara wo sorafune to wasureteiru no ka
その船は舞い上がるその時を　忘れているのか
sono fune wa maiagaru sono toki wo wasureteiru no ka
地平の果て　水平の果て
chihei no hate suihei no hate
そこが船の離陸地点
soko ga fune no ririku chiten
すべての港が灯りを消して黙り込んでも
subete no minato ga tomori wo keshite damarikondemo

その船を漕いでゆけ　おまえの手で漕いでゆけ
sono fune wo koideyuke omae no te de koideyuke
おまえが消えて喜ぶ者に　おまえのオールをまかせるな
omae ga kiete yorokobu mono ni omae no ooru wo makaseru na

何の試験の時間なんだ　何を裁く秤なんだ
nan no shiken no jiken nanda nani no sabaku hakari nanda
何を狙って付き合うんだ　何が船を動かすんだ
nani wo neratte tsukiaunda nani ga fune wo ugokasunda
何の試験の時間なんだ　何を裁く秤なんだ
nan no shiken no jiken nanda nan no sabaku hakari nanda
何を狙って付き合うんだ　何が船を動かすんだ
nani wo neratte tsukiaunda nani ga fune wo ugokasunda

その船を漕いでゆけ　おまえの手で漕いでゆけ
sono fune wo koideyuke omae no te de koideyuke
おまえが消えて喜ぶ者に　おまえのオールをまかせるな
omae ga kiete yorokobu mono ni omae no ooru wo makaseru na
その船を漕いでゆけ　おまえの手で漕いでゆけ
sono fune wo koideyuke omae no te de koideyuke
おまえが消えて喜ぶ者に　おまえのオールをまかせるな
omae ga kiete yorokobu mono ni omae no ooru wo makaseru na

Sorafune (Spaceship)
Words/Music: Nakashima Miyuki

Row that boat
Row it with your own hands
Don't entrust your oars
To those who'd delight in your demise

Is that boat somewhere
Floating unsteadily?
Is that boat somewhere
Moving forward battered and broken?
It resists being washed away
(This ship) is defiance
(This ship) is damaged
Even if all the sailors run away with fear

Row that boat
Row it with your own hands
Don't entrust your oars
To those who'd delight in your demise

Did that boat forget
that it, in itself, is a spaceship?
Did that boat forget
that it once soared high?
The end of the earth
The end of the (sea)
That is the ship's take off point
Even if all the harbors are burnt and charred to oblivion

Row that boat
Row it with your own hands
Don't entrust your oars
To those who'd delight in your demise

It's time for what kind of test?
It's a scale to measure what?
For what purpose are you together?
What's moving the boat?
It's time for what kind of test?
It's a scale to measure what?
For what purpose are you together?
What's moving the boat?
