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.

There are many songs by Ken Hirai that can move you to tears, but for anyone who’s gone through a breakup, “half of me” might be impossible to listen to without crying…

Released in 2018 as Ken Hirai’s 45th single, this song was also the theme for the drama “Twilight Meteor Shower: Midlife Turn, Fell in Love.” Its heartbreakingly poignant and strikingly realistic lyrics will surely shake many listeners to the core.

If you’re dealing with a breakup and can’t think about the future right now, take the time to face your sadness honestly—and let yourself cry as much as you need.

If we ever break up, will you forget me? Would I be able to wave and smile at you? No, I couldn’t—because I don’t want to be apart from you; I want to keep holding your hand.

I wish feelings like that would just fly away somewhere, but I want us to stay like this, the two of us, quietly holding hands and living our lives.

This is a ballad that has become a hot topic as the TV commercial song for Panasonic’s LUMIX digital camera, featuring a collaboration between Ken Hirai and Haruka Ayase.

It’s the kind of gentle ballad that Ken Hirai excels at, with a beautifully clear falsetto.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could cast a spell that brings smiles to our loved ones and makes everyone smile?

Ken Hirai is an artist with a distinctive voice that spreads and resonates deeply from low to high notes.

What’s especially remarkable about him is that even a cappella, his singing is compelling to listen to.

I think his expressiveness is extremely high.

Ken Hirai is really good at simply conveying ordinary, everyday moments.

This song lists one after another the things he loves about his girlfriend, presumably the one he’s dating, and there’s no doubt the girl being sung to is a lucky one.

By the time you finish listening, it leaves you feeling happy.
