'''''Same Thing''''' ({{IPA|ja|seꜜːmɯ ɕiꜜŋgɯ
Hoshino wanted to focus on music in a pure sense, disconnected from sales, and found the recording process reminiscent of when he began writing music in middle school. It was initially envisioned as a [[mixtape]] release, but this plan was changed due to Hoshino believing the mixtape culture would be difficult to promote in Japan. He shares writing and production credits with Superorganism, Punpee, Rascal, and Misch. ''Same Thing'' covers themes of [[solidarity]] and features bass-focused [[arrangement]] similar to the Western music scene. The track listing includes the indie pop title track with Superorganism featuring English lyrics, the [[Japanese rap]] song "Sarashi-mono" sung by Hoshino in conversation-like verses with Punpee, and "Ain't Nobody Know" featuring Misch, where Misch composed the beat and Hoshino wrote the melody to create a track that puts distance between their styles. Hoshino wrote the fourth and final track "Watashi" alone, featuring only his vocals and [[acoustic guitar]].
The title track was released ahead as a [[promotional single]] on October 4, 2019. Music videos were produced for all tracks, and "Sarashi-mono" and "Ain't Nobody Know" also received lyric videos. Critics regarded ''Same Thing'' as a new style for Hoshino and praised its musical and lyrical themes. Upon release, it reached first place on the digital albums charts of both [[Oricon]] and ''[[Billboard Japan]]'', and took numbers three and four on the ''Billboard'' [[Billboard Japan Hot Albums|Hot Albums]] and Oricon [[Oricon Combined Albums Chart|Combined Albums Chart]]s, respectively. In its release week, all four songs appeared on the ''Billboard Japan'' Streaming Songs chart and all but "Watashi" made the [[Billboard Japan Hot 100|Japan Hot 100]]. At the end of 2019, ''Same Thing'' ranked at numbers 48 and seven on ''Billboard Japan''{{'s}} year-end Hot Albums and Download Albums charts, respectively.

The title track "Same Thing" features Superorganism. It was written by Hoshino with [[arrangement]] by the band. Its lyrics are exclusively in English; Hoshino first wrote the text in Japanese, which was then translated by the members of Superorganism.<ref name="InterviewBillboard"/>{{rp|2}}<ref name="AnnouncementNatalie"/> Hoshino sings of feelings of love as he uses harsh slang to express irritation and dissatisfaction:
Hoshino co-produced the third song "Ain't Nobdody Know" with Misch.<ref name="Mikiki"/> Misch sent the base track to Hoshino, who added its melody; as a result, the beat harks on Misch's style whilst the melody reminds of Hoshino, with a feeling of distance between the two according to ''Rockin'On''{{'s}} Tomohiro Ogawa.<ref name="RockinOn3"/> Misch's contributions includes guitar and [[keyboard bass]] inspired by [[soul]], [[jazz]], [[hip-hop]], and [[Electronic music|electronic]] genres, backed by Hoshino singing with intimate soul-like ''[[falsetto]]''.<ref name="RealSound"/>
== Release and promotion ==
Alongside ''Same Thing''{{'s}} announcement on October 4, 2019, the title track was released as a digital [[promotional single]]. It was also announced that the track would be added to international [[online radio]] via the program of New Zealand DJ [[Zane Lowe]] on [[Apple Music]]'s [[Beats 1]].<ref name="AnnouncementNatalie"/> ''Same Thing'', the EP, was released via the [[Victor Entertainment]] label [[Speedstar Records]] on October 14, 2019, as a digital exclusive.<ref name="Speedstar"/>

''Same Thing'' was received positively by music critics in Japan, with many calling it a new style for Hoshino. By opening up to creating music with outsiders, ''Rockin'On''{{'s}} Koike felt that Hoshino is led to a new self by his collaborators without over-reliance, revealing a "Gen Hoshino we didn't know".<ref name="RockinOn"/> Asuka Nakamura at [[Tower Records Japan]]'s ''Mikiki'' wrote that the collaborations felt natural – not as if Hoshino was awkwardly writing with unrelated artists – and thought the EP showcases it was the result of a fun development process.
By including the simplistic acoustic track "Watashi", Imdkm wrote that Hoshino turned the EP into a statement that indicates a restart of his career up until ''Pop Virus''.<ref name="RollingStone"/> Mori thought that the song examplified Hoshino's current philosophy on the EP,<ref name="RealSound"/> and ''Rockin'On''{{'s}} Shinji Furukawa found it to be convey the "new Gen Hoshino" the most of all songs.<ref name="RockinOn4"/> Fujisawara wrote that it does not feel as if Hoshino is singing about himself, rather collaborating with an artist named "himself".<ref name="RockinOn4"/>
Critics complimented the musical and lyrical themes on the track listing. Nakamura wrote that the Western rap and pop reminiscent production made it one of the more likable works in Hoshino's discography, and believed it could earn an international audience since it was specifically not created with an international goal in mind.<ref name="Mikiki"/> Koike called the composition excellent, noting the lively punk sound on "Same Thing", the soul chorus on "Sarashi-mono", and the guitar phrase partenered with Hoshino's ''falsetto'' on "Ain't Nobody Know".<ref name="RockinOn"/> Ogawa, writing on the website of the Shibuya [[live house]] {{ill|Liquidroom|ja|LIQUIDROOM}}, called it a "disperse" collection of collaborations born from Hoshino's real-life relations, featuring a "rich sense of privacy" in its solitary sound, melodies, and lyrics.<ref name="Liquidroom"/>
