Does anyone (looking at you Karen lol) know if there was a second version released or if Nonfiction was possibly added last minute? Those are the only 2 explanations I can think of. I'm just curious lol

I assume you bought the 4 CDs version of Utabaka 2 ?
I checked back the previous Ken thread , when Utabaka 2 was 1st announced for release last April , Non Fiction (be it the song and/or PV) wasn't included initially

But about a month before Utakaba 2 was released last July , Non Fiction eventually was included in both the CD + Blu-ray tracklist

I think Ariola Japan received feedback from Ken's fans and they requested Ariola Japan to include Non Fiction in cos Utabaka 2 supposed to include all the songs Ken released from 2006 until last year (not counting the 4 CDs version that has Ken singles from 1995 - 2017)
And the release time difference between Non Fiction & Utabaka 2 was only about a month apart each other

Looks like half of me will finally see the light in getting a physical CD release as it has been chosen to be used to promote Fuji TV's new drama Tasogare Ryuuseigun ~Jinsei Orikaeshi , Koi o Shita~
Tasogare Ryuuseigun ~Jinsei Orikaeshi , Koi o Shita~ will start airing on Fuji TV from 11th Oct onwards and half of me is Ken's 17th song that he has provided to be used in TV dramas
Currently it's not known if half of me will be released as Ken's next single

For the record , Ken 1st performed half of me way back in his Ken's Bar concert in July 2009 and half of me is a sequel to even if
Up to now , half of me has never been included in a physical Ken release but despite this , Ken has performed the song numerous times in past Ken's Bar concerts , including the recent Ken's Bar 20th Anniversary Special!! Vol.2
I think it's about high time for half of me to get released in a CD
