Ok these are just some interesting ones to watch. Honestly i've not really watched all of his videos on youtube. No time obviously and he's too popular unlike you-know-who. But these are some that i like.

yutakagr!!! There you are!!!
I want to see him if he is a funny guy.I like people like him.Be serious all time is boring to me
You mentioned the above in your email, so you check him out and tell me what you think HONESTLY ok? If you don't like him its ok. Life would be boring right if we all like the same things, ne? So perhaps some diversity is good too.
I read through the earlier posts here. wrt that invision forum, i think that's the old forum which i didn't join (same reason why i was lurking on jdorama for so long - didn't want to get addicted). But i recently joined the new Ken Hirai English forum. Its here: http://kenhiraiforum.go-forum.net/forum.htm

Hi there Stevie.
So far from what i read there are TWO new songs to look forward to.
NEW SONG
�l�͌N�ɗ������� (Boku wa Kimi ni Koi wo Suru)
* "�l�̏������L�~�ɕ���" movie theme song, starring Mao Inoue. 10/24 on theaters. [Official site]
* No details on the release date yet.
* It's described as love ballad.
NEW SONG! (yeah, another one with release date not yet decided)
��l����Ȃ� (hitori ja nai)
* Lyrics by Kouki Mitani, Music by Ken Hirai
* Ending theme song for "�V�E�O�e�m", to be broadcasted on NHK Educational TV next October.
This clip is from a Japanese TV show called "Trivia". Unfortunately, it's no longer on the air, but I used to watch it every week. Like a lot of things Japanese, it's hard to explain the concept of the show, you had to watch it. Thanks for posting.

Ken Hirai sings for "Ghost" remake
Tue, August 31, 2010 (7:56pm EDT)
Singer Ken Hirai will be providing the theme song for the upcoming movie "Ghost: Mou Ichido Dakishimetai," set for release on November 13. This will be Hirai's fifth time doing a theme for a romance film, and the song is expected to be a hit like his previous ones.
"Ghost: Mou Ichido Dakishimetai" was announced earlier this year as an Asian remake of the famous 1990 movie "Ghost," which starred Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore. The remake, however, has the roles of the couple reversed, with Nanako Matsushima playing a woman who dies in an accident but revisits her lover, played by Korean actor Song Seung Hun. The full cast was revealed a few weeks ago, including Kirin Kiki as the counterpart to Whoopi Goldberg's role in the original.
Hirai's song is titled "Aishiteru" and will be released as his 33rd single on November 10.

Well...I do like Ken's voice. always have. But this is a third rate promo I think. It's a bit messy and like Halloween with Red lights sort of thing. Not impressed and it doesn't suit Ken at all.
