I enjoy SENTIMENTALovers as well. It's really the only album I have of his. It's really good though. I really want to hear Pop Star and Strawberry Sex since I hear so much about them.

And whats this about a new single? ^^

I heard that he's coming out with a new single for 2006 and it will be a ballad and hopefully it will be released early in the year, preferably April, so it will continue to sell for the whole year. His ballads are very good on the rankings in terms of longevity. He needs a one million seller single. Has he even had a one million single?
I know HITOMI WO TOJITE almost break the 1-million. Wait didn't Grandfather's clock came close to a million too?

Nope, neither hit 1 million. But "Hitomi wo tojite" was #1 single of the year (despite the fact that it never hit #1 on the weekly charts).

EDIT: Oh I took pics of my "Utabaka" when I got it a while ago. Might as well post them here.

Lol I didn't even listen to mine. I just burned my own CD containing my favourite Ken songs...

I did, however, watch the DVD. Some of his PVs are weird...

I don't think he's gay really.. Maybe its just his style. x___x

I like his songs though. ^^ Especially Grandfather's Clock, Pop Star, blah blah..

"Utabaka" is the name of his 10th year annivesary album, hehe. And that's what I have in the pictures.

And no, he has a PV for every single, including ones that aren't ballads.

lol I was just about to comment on that. you've seen it? That was the most plain and boring music video I've ever seen! I was laughing so hard! XD I heard that he said he refuses to dance, he only sings and that's it. But I still like Hirai Ken even if his music videos are wierd. He's got an exceptionally good voice ^^ Glad to hear that he's not retiring
