"Crazy Crazy" and "Sakura no Mori" are songs by Japanese singer-songwriter and musician Gen Hoshino, released as double A-sides for his fourth studio album, Yellow Dancer. Both tracks were written and produced by Hoshino; he wrote the lyrics without deep thought, utilizing lines he personally liked without regard for literal meaning. The songs were released as the album's second single by Speedstar Records on June 11, 2014, marking Hoshino's seventh single overall. Categorized as J-pop and Japanese rock, the single features varied sound throughout its track listing. "Crazy Crazy" was developed from a melancholic melody Hoshino had written in 2013 whilst awaiting surgery for a subarachnoid hemorrhage. The song is a homage to the jazz band Crazy Cats featuring upbeat instrumentation, consisting mostly of piano, bass, and drums, through serious lyrics. In a theme of cherry blossoms, "Sakura no Mori" was written for a spring campaign of the radio station J-Wave. It has a pop and disco sound inspired by Western soul artists, with lyrics that feature double meaning about excitement for spring and an intimate encounter between a man and woman.
