ooo i wonder what are you thinking that time

but i think in the PV of elegy ken is sexier although it isnt "Wet"

[waterballoon]

Wow wet shots. Lol. I'm not so attracted (as always)... because I don't know why either.

Anyway, anyone knows when the next single might come in? Ayu and Kuu take like 2 months after the release of their albums to announce new singles... I know Ken takes forever but still...

I'm actually quite pissed with the Elegy PV as they only show parts of it & it was only face up .

The camera didn't show his lower body or at most torso

Surprisingly , I don't like Ken when he's topless . For me , just a white singlet & jeans combo will do as evident in Strawberry Sex especially the intro of the PV . Hotness at max capacity

dear 'ol Ken is currently on tour domestically in Japan to promote FAKIN' POP & he wouldn't finish touring til July 20th .

Maybe he will premiere a new song or 2 during the midst of the tour ?

LOL

next time I'm going to look at tea at a different manner now especially when comes to Lipton

Ken likes tea , waay too much :S

& the 7 year old teabag's already expired , no wonder it's selling for 50 Yen

I really wonder who will go & buy it

[prussian blue]

^lol i doubt someone here is buying

hey karen i read in a magazine that interviewing ken (fakin' pop) and in the biography they write ken like to drink alcoho is that true??

er I don't know about that but even if it's true , it's quite common isn't it ?

in fact whenever he performs at his Ken's Bar shows or his normal non bar themed concerts , I sometimes see him drinking stuff from tumblers in between takes & breaks . It might be water or something else

anyway nothing wrong if Ken likes to drink alcohol right ? as long as he doesn't become an alcohol , I'm ok with it

[prussian blue]

^i'll be satisfied if there's some pic when ken is drunk ^^

From Oricon Style magazine (19th June '06) :

[KarenPang]

account of a Japanese fan whom I assumed that went to his FAKIN' POP tour :

"Minna... one of the best part of Hirai Ken's concert is it's MC. Yappari, Hirai Ken is very very humble and nice. And also there was some VTR after ken's bar session (after even if). In the clip, there are pop star (hirai ken, 36), and fake star (real name and age were unknown). Both of them were played by Hirai ken.

So it some kind of interview session. They were asked some questions and they have to answer it. For example, "what do you do when you have free time?" Fake star answer it in a "star" way, while Pop Star (aka hirai ken) answered, "Well, I stay at home, or go to karaoke, or go drink outside, just like other normal people..."

The funny part is where Fake Star tried to sing with his guitar but turns out very awful voice. Then Pop star asked the interviewer,
pop star: "Which agency did he came from?"
interviewer: "Unnggg... I'll check after this"
pop star: "Is he famous?"
interviewer: "He famous in Kansai"
pop star: "But I famous nationwide..."

and also in other MC part, Hirai ken tells about how he got massage 2 days before the concert, and the feeling was little bit awkward, because there were only him and the massaging obachan in the room. And how he was mistaken [again] as "gaijin oniichan" by 70 years ojiisan. The ojisan told Hirai Ken, "Your japanese is very good ne...." and hirai ken only kan say, "maa nee....." hehehehe"

haha sounds like fun
