Ken doesn't have any EDM in his discography since his main music focal points are in R&B

POP STAR & Strawberry Sex are 2 songs he's known for & always tend to sing during concerts but his other older works are the ones that I still feel he excels in the best like

- Love Love Love
- LOVE OR LUST
- Missin' you ~It will break my heart~ ; this's special as Babyface produced it
- Ooki na Furudokei ; a Japanese cover of My Grandfather's Clock
- Hitomi wo Tojite
- Elegy

His recent works are not as good as his older works . The last song that I felt was good from him was Kokuhaku

Anyone know where I can find the b-side to Soredemo Shitai called "Zankou"? The only place I can find it as an mp3 is Amazon Japan but it won't accept my American debit card.

I find it's funny that Namie sang Grastogue on her tour, but Ken not sang it on his own tour. Basically it's Ken's song featuring Namie, right?

Yeah but Tue & Wed's concerts of Ken were to celebrate his 20th anniversary

If you see yesterday's setlist , most of the songs Ken did are his most prominent hits inclusive of his debut single

Except for Kohauku , Ken's most recent releases are not deemed classic worthy , yet

Ken Hirai’s new song is the theme song to a drama starring Toshiaki Karasawa. “I pulled my passion from inside my heart”



Quote:
Ken Hirai will do the theme song to “Napoleon NO MURA”, a TBS Sunday drama starring Toshiaki Karasawa. The title of the song is “KIMINO KODO WA KIMINISHIKA NARASENAI”. The song will be released in August and will be the first of his 20th debut anniversary year.

“Napoleon NO MURA” is a drama about a super government employee who sees no limits. Toshiaki Karasawa, Kumiko Aso, Koji Yamamoto, Murotsuyoshi, Issey Ogata, and Ikki Sawamura star in the drama.

Ken Hirai commented on “KIMINO KODO WA KIMINISHIKA NARASENAI” below

  ◆  ◆  ◆

I wrote this song especially for this drama. Lately, my songs have been dark, but this drama contains “Napoleon” in the title and is about never giving up. I pulled my passion out of my heart and wrote this song. It’s unlike any of my recent songs.

  ◆  ◆  ◆

Seiji Kameda produced “KIMINO KODO WA KIMINISHIKA NARASENAI”. It has a powerful and beautiful sound that captures the spirit of the drama. The song compliments Ken Hirai’s soulful voice and will be performed for the first time on TBS TV’s 60th anniversary show, “ONGAKU NO HI 2015”, on June 27. Details and released date for the single will be announced at a later date.
