Ken Hirai(平井堅) was born in 1972, who has made his debut for 14 years. He has published 31 singles and 11 albums.
His first single, Precious Junk, was published in 1995. The single's sales' volume was not very good, but it indeed made some people notice him. Although the single did not have a great grade, the record company did not give up the new male singer. Till 2000, he totally published 6 singles. However, those singles couldn't catch listeners' attention. He even tried to give up her singing career.
In 2000, he noticed that Rhythm and Blues will be popular, and he cached the chance publishing his 8th single, 樂園. This single really did a good job because its sales' volume soonly broke thorough 600,000 pieces.
In 2003, the single, 大きな古時計, made him achieve the another level of his singing career, because the single became the most popular one in that year, and it had 4-week champion.
Till now, he has published many popular singles such as, 瞳をとじて, 哀歌, POP STAR and so on. He said that he doesn't want to have a great fame but sing as many songs as he can. Because of this reason, he tried many different styles of music and worked hard to surpass himself.
In my opinion, he is really a great man. His music is very relaxing and always makes me feel carefree. In some ways, he has some magic power which can catch people's mind because his voice is gentle and soft. Hope you guys can also enjoy his music.
It is his latest single, 僕は君に恋をする
He is one of the Japanese singers I know since I'm really familiar with Japanese singers. I like his ways to express feelings with melodies. Not like many singers packaging themselves to much, I think he attracts audience's attention with talents and efforts.
