^ Yeah that's true and it's not often Ken collaborate with other artistes either
With this year being Ken's 25th anniversary in the business and also with what's happening now , at most Ken might do a small scale celebration to mark this milestone If possible I think Ken should re-record some of his old songs , I wouldn't mind to hear them cos some of his very old works would sure sound much better with a musical update Much as I like the bonus disc from Utabaka 2 , Ken should have saved that for this year instead of putting it out 3 years ago as if he release it this year it would have been more meaningful

Kaibutsu-san is a really fun poppy song & Aimyon's vocals harmonise quite well with Ken
I would like to see the full PV now even though in general the PVs that Ken made aren't so great x)

Babyface & his family were unfortunately tested positive for COVID-19 sometime back
Luckily both Babyface & his family are on the mend to recovery https://cnalifestyle.channelnewsasia...medium=twitter That's real scary , not sure if Ken still keeps in touch with Babyface cos it has been almost 2 decades since they last work together

ayaka's cover on Love Love Love is really nice & laidback
A Ken tribute album would have been nice . I would have like to see other artistes cover lesser known tracks of Ken instead of Hitomi wo Tojite & even if which already have been done before That said , BENI's take on LAKuEN was pretty good

his b-sides, the new songs from Utabaka 2 and some of his newest stuff (aside from kaibutsusan) are missing from Spotify, but I can deal with that. at least the albums are there.
