haha yeah but when he 1st debuted on the scene 13 years ago he wasn't good looking but I don't know why when he hit 30 , BOOM , everything all changed !

it's not the end of the world regarding the chart position of fakin' pop . This will be his 4th album that didn't debut at the top spot .

his 1st , 2nd & 5th albums didn't debuted at the top . His debut album un-balanced debuted at no.57 , his 2nd album Stare At did not chart while his 4th album gaining though losing debuted at no.2

Well, charts don't really mean anything as long as we know that Ken still rocks and is sexy and has fans! Haha. Anyway, the booklet is really full of LOL pictures... Ken is really an adult but a kid at heart!

well i do care bout chart
it represent the popularity of a singer...
but who know... maybe someone "eat money"?

it does but only to a certain extent

anyway Ken has been around for so long , 13 years to be exact . I don't think he bothers about all of these 'petty' issues already

oh yeah now we're talking Jun Xiang :D

he's a SNAG at heart heh

haha... i can imagine that
just look at him in TV show
he's a funny guy

he's . Apparently he's a very funny guy by nature although the media tend to portray him otherwise .

He's always making the audience laugh a lot of times in between breaks during his live performances .

wish I know what he was saying argh

here're some performances/clips from his Ken's Bar 2007 Winter .

it's not the full performance 1st of all . I downloaded the whole thing via veoh.com at http://www.veoh.com/videos/v4030982z...8957519&rank=1

I only just select the songs that I'm most familiar with .

Check out the opening of his Ken's Bar 2007 Winter which's an capella of WHITE CHRISTMAS . That's like the best performance I've ever seen from him , not to mention overall .

That will slience anyone who says Ken lip synches but if you watch WHITE CHRISTMAS , he's the 1st person who came onstage without his band members & then he just sit on the stool & just sing . That's amazing .

He also did a cover of The Eagles's Desperado too which incidentally his cover of the song can be found on Hitomi wo Tojite :D

He could be joking about Kuu for all we know. Just kidding lol.

hahaha...
i've seen the fake star in music station...
he's cute

if you're talking about the interview before he performed fake star then yes it was .

he was talking about the details reg the PV & er it's pretty gross .

at least now I know why the sex scenes in the PV didn't looked naturally as it seems to be :S

Maybe he's afraid of outrage of modesty. Ken hails from Japan after all, and he happens NOT to be an AV idol so I guess he's really not that open in such explicit scenes... Which means he's a shy guy *aww...* lol

that's true to a certain extent but I took these few paragraphs from my music blog entry regarding what really happened during the fliming of fake star ::

"If you watched the PV of fake star , you would have noticed Ken was making out with 2 hot chicks (not at the same time unfortunately haha) & if I never know about this bit of info , I would have assumed that the ladies were probably a few years younger than Ken but surprised surprised , they were 1/2 his age :S which shocked me cos they sure do look mature . Either that or it's probably the makeup so that 1st part turns me out , PV wise .

& 2nd , for some stupid lame reason/s altogether , 1 of the girls who made out with Ken in the PV , brought her boyfriend along & he was at the set when all the raunchy sex scenes were shot in which it's possibly 1 of the dumbest things that she or a person would do & it doesn't help matters that the boyfriend was more taller & muscular than Ken in which I think he might have pounded & beat Ken up in a pulp .

The reasons why I know all of these is because Ken mentioned details of the fake star PV in an interview with MUSIC STATION , prior to the performance of the song last Sept . Maybe because of these 2 reasons , somehow the sex scenes in the PV doesn't looked er naturally to me & not to mention shocked people ."

I saw this at someone's else's blog & the blog's author's a S'porean born Japanese so that's why he was able to translate the MUSIC STATION interview .

When I read that , I almost puke :S

scroll all the way down to Wednesday, January 30, 2008's entry & you can see it there

I think Ken's shy but he did mentioned he's sensitive & timid in the CNN talkasia interview . Bless the dude & face it , he's someone I don't mind to make out with *grins* :D :D

btw Jun Xiang , what's AV idol ?

AV is adult video
AV idol... maybe someone like leah dizon?
hehe...
karenpang: i saw the blog too~ and scared me too~~

I know , I was O_O when I saw that .

At least now you know what really happened when the fake star PV was being flimed

i wonder what happened if ken stay in the czech too long~~
somebody will hit him~

haha . I don't mind to protect him heh heh :P

so guess I was right in that fakin' pop has crossed the 150K mark woo hoo

now to find out the finalised 1st week sales in due time

Lol, fakin' pop has good sales. anyway AV is like pornography, or is it the same thing? lol.

and yeah, i read that blog and your music blog and I guess one of the girls' boyfriend could be a major reason to why he appeared so uncomfortable (cos why would he be in the first place? unless he is...)

yup fakin' pop so far has been consistent sales wise

I know what you mean . That's why the sex scenes in the PV didn't looked naturally to me & haha I don't know man , you know because people has been speculating about his sexual orientation for the longest god damn time ever , at that time he might be uncomfortable due to either :

1) he was making out with a hot chick & the boyfriend of the chick was there

OR

2) he was making out with a hot chick & the boyfriend was there & he secretly wish the person he was making out with was the guy

I hope my correct assumptionr's 1 but then again which bimbotic woman would have done such a thing ? provided if she's really a dumb blonde by nature -_-
