Ken Hirai's classic and popular songs

Let me introduce you to songs by singer-songwriter Ken Hirai.

His charm lies in his high, beautiful vocals and rich expressiveness.

He has many famous songs, such as Rakuen, Hitomi wo Tojite, and Ookina Furudokei, which helped ignite his popularity.

He’s apparently a huge Southern All Stars fan, and it’s said that back in his student days he even delivered a demo tape to Keisuke Kuwata’s home.

This is the coupling track for the seventh single, “Love Love Love.” Released in 1998, Ken Hirai wasn’t popular at the time and it didn’t enter the Oricon charts.

It gradually gained recognition, and on December 20, 2007, it was covered by female singer-songwriter Ayaka at his Budokan concert.

LIFE is…Hirai Ken

Among Ken Hirai’s exquisite ballads, when it comes to winter or Christmas, I think most fans would choose this song.

The colder it gets, the more I hope lovers listen to it and feel warm.

It’s a wonderful track I recommend even to those who aren’t fans.
