Close your eyesHirai Ken
This is the 20th single by singer-songwriter Ken Hirai, who has released numerous masterpieces ranging from lyrical ballads to comedic numbers.

It’s a pretty high-pitched song, so it’s tough to sing at karaoke, but since it’s a famous track that almost everyone has heard at least once, it’s sure to get the crowd going if you can pull it off.
