^ It's actually very creative too.

XD I absolutely LOVED the POP STAR PV!! XDD I laughed so hard. He's a funny guy in person too--I saw him on HEYX3 and he was just a funny guy. Definitely one of my favorite Japanese artists. But we're all sure that he isn't retired or whatever right? Because that whole bit about "Final Concert in Saitama" kinda threw me off...

Kakeru · #23 18th February 2006, 05:50 AM

Oooooooh. No no no, it was titled "FINAL" 'cause it was the final concert of the tour, lol. Not his last. Not unless he suddenly decides to announce his retirement now.

And yes, in contrast to how his record company/Japanese media try to portray him, Ken is actually a very funny guy. He cracks so many jokes during his concerts the audience is very much like watching a stand up comedy, lol.

I heard somewhere that he's releasing a new single this March? A new ballad would be nice.

AyuGAME · #25 18th February 2006, 07:30 AM

i don't think that he can sing live very well
he has a GREAT voice but her live performance was bad...if you compare it with ayu..it was so far far away

POP STAR was too cute to be true. Ken with a pot-belly! And the song itself was so unlike Ken too.

Did anyone see the parody by Yamada Yu of the PV too?

Annabelle · #27 18th February 2006, 01:29 PM

This thread makes me love Ken even more. <3

How many performances by Ken have you seen? He is considered one of the BEST performers in Japan. You should definitely check out his perfs. It was close to flawless.

My thoughts exactly.

If you were to compare Ayu & Ken, it would be the other way around. Ken's live singing is flawless. As good as CD, if not better. *thumbs up*

Wow. Makes me want to see some of his live preformances. I need to watch some of the videos I have of his first. I haven't even gotten around to doing that yet.

greggerz189 · #31 18th February 2006, 09:34 PM

^ Yeah...I plan on buying the Final at Saitama soon...

AyuGAME · #32 19th February 2006, 12:02 AM

yeah..i have seen his vcd concert and some of his performance
but his performance, his dance, his movement was terrible for me
his voice was EXCELLENT, his technique was BRILLIANT
but his live performance (not about voice) was poor for me
sorry if i made a wrong opinion

You think anything that Ayu does is great.
Ayu can barely sing on key during TV performances.
Ken could sing almost CD quality or better on any kind of lives. and I'm not exaggerating.

I think ken sings live better than ayu

**Halla** · #35 19th February 2006, 01:39 AM

I changed the topic title by greggerz189's request.

anyways , I like Ken Hirais music too. my favorite songs by him are 'ex-girlfirend' , 'taboo (m-flo remix)' and 'jealousy'

And he DOESN'T dance around with lil kids in "POP STAR"...in fact, the only person that appears in that video is himself. He plays 7 diferent roles.

Love that PV, too funny.

Honestly? Not surprised at all XD. But I love Ken Hirai <3.

And whats this about a new single? ^^

~Matt~ · #39 19th February 2006, 03:26 AM

^__^ Thanks a bunch Halla! ^__^ My favorite Hirai songs are 'Hitomi wo Tojite', 'POP STAR', 'Miracles', and pretty much all of the SENTIMENTALovers album. Kagiana was a pretty dirty song though! LOL
