Ken Hirai's Fakin' Pop magazine review
 

i saw the review in I-weekly magazine published in Singapore...and this is the original source in Chinese

新专辑中, 他一反常态, 唱了出道以来流行味最浓的 "POP STAR", 小露动感的一面. 然而浪漫, 忧郁, 抒情风格, 才是他的拿手好戏. 日剧 <<蜜蜂幸运草>> 主题曲 "Canvas" 有校园的清新感, 献给已故父亲的 <<写真>> 是另一首听了令人揪心的作品.

有时不变胜于万变
3.5 / 5

Rough Translation
In this new album, he changes his usual style by singing the most "pop" and catchy song since he becomes a singer, which is "POP STAR", showing off a little of his active side of him. However, romantic, melancholy, lyrical style is still his best trump card. The main theme of the JDrama <<Honey And Clover>> "Canvas" has a school days kind of refreshing feeling, and the song <<shashin>> dedicated to his deceased father is another heart-wrenching piece of work.

Sometimes not changing still wins over ever-changing
3.5 / 5

thanks for sharing

Yea originality is important! =p

Same score as GUILTY. Thanks alot for sharing.

thank you so much for posting this review up .

So I was right all along . Shashin was written & composed by Ken & dedicated to his late father who passed away unfortunately Nov '04 due to cancer :(

At times when I hear Shashin , I wanna broke down & cry :(

So far Shashin seems to be served as the main promotional track of FAKIN' POP . Go to youtube or dailymotion & check out Ken's performances of Shashin , he always seem to be on the verge of breaking down in the midst of or at the end of Shashin :( bless the poor dude

i should listen to this single ... is there a download of it anywhere?

I can upload it for you . Personally Shashin's the best track of FAKIN' POP , for a non released single I mean .
