[cloud♥honey]

The title sounds like ORANGE RANGE's "UN ROCK STAR". I like it.

[fanmail]

I HATE THAT GIRL. xDDD I've never listened to his stuff, is it any good?

[Beauty4123]

he kinda looks like this israeli actor i see on TV, lol.

[Hazuki]

I like the covers~
And POP STAR is the only song I like from him so i really wanna hear fake star!

Ken Hirai is sooo hot. But the only song I like from him is POP STAR. I can't seem to get into his voice sometimes. Hopefully I'll like this one.

I KNOW LOL. The camel is so random. Plus it's all blurry. -__-

[LNany]

Yeah, the camel is random... but it was in the POP STAR cover too -there are a lot of camel references in the PV also-

BTW, I've uploaded the PV and the MP3 of fake star in this thread

What kind of Israeli actor you see on tv? as I'm Israeli xD

[greggerz189]

the flip-side of POP STAR? Whoa! He's been re-doing that song for a while now! First the Winter Version and the Ballad Version from the soundtrack and then this one! Interesting! I like the new trend in Japanese music contrasting the light/dark sides of the same material. Like Hikki's Flavor Of Life -Original- and -Ballad- Versions, A BEST 2 -WHITE- & -BLACK-, and now this! Cool beans.

its so weird..and the PV..looks like its hot scene with a girl
i thought he is gay...and i believe he is gay...haha

[FoObY]

His last two singles are pretty good too, as with this one. I'm looking forward to an album

I'm not sure. It could be a rumor or it could be true....who knows. I thought the love scenes were funny XD;

I'm really curious what his connection with camels are...maybe he just likes them? *shrug* Is there any good english sites that have info about Ken?

[Rurutia]

he's hot...but i cannot stand his singing.....put that body with gackt's voice and that's perfection......

[TNeilson]

I'm looking forward to his next single since I love 哀歌 so much!
but I think this song is okay.

this is the fifth single after the best collection, so I guess he's releasing a new album soon.
