Wow didn't expect Ken to release 2 singles on the same day , I find it strange he chose not to release a double A-side single

Anyway it's about time for new Ken material , hopefully both Todokanaikara & Shiranai ne Desho? will be good

Todokanaikara does reminds me of Kimi wa Tomodachi to a certain extent

My friend helped me to buy Todokanaikara

I like it , it's less moody than Non Fiction . Todokanaikara reminds me of a cross between Kimi wa Tomodachi & READY FOR YOUR LOVE + Negative Boy as some auto tune is presented in the song

I'm curious to see how the PV for Todokanaikara will be like though

Ken will perform Shiranai ne Desho? on next week's MUSIC STATION

Image used for Shiranai ne Desho? postcard is o_O

the singles are WONDERFUL! wow I love them!

The only thing I don't like about Shiranai ne Desho? slightly is that when I 1st heard the song , for it to end so abruptly , it's a bit ???

Aside from that , both Todokanaikara & Shiranai ne Desho? are good & very different from Non Fiction

I guess Ken performed on MUSIC STATION earlier than the norm as he has to prepare for Ken's Bar 20th Anniversary Members Special !!

I would love to see Ken perform Todokanaikara on TV shows too
