Artist: Ken Hirai
Title: 10th Anniversary Complete Single Collection 95-05
Label: SONY BMG

Listening to Ken Hirai, you cannot help but let him conquer you with his tender voice. Hirai expresses a kind of happiness that comes from deep within. 10th Anniversary Complete Single Collection 95-05 is a collection of Ken Hirai's singles, from his debut "Precious Junk" to the latest single from his "Pop Star" album. If you are looking for a tender shoulder to lean on, this album is just what you need and you'll find yourself falling in love with him. However, it is his song "The Big Ancient Clock" that caught my attention. Hirai expresses a kind of sentimentality about the helplessness of time's relentless passing. He does not forget to include important pop music elements in his music, either, giving the sensation of new life bursting out of the old. --By Nelson Huang, translated by Cara Steenstra
