KIRA☆KIRA KEN PAPER Vol. 7
Friday, March 7, 2008
LOADS to report for this issue of KKKP, so let's just get started shall we?
Ken's official website has been revamped for
FAKIN' POP, and you can find previews for all 13 songs at the discography section. And you can get to see a bigger version of the album cover too, so do go take a look.
Ken is also nominated for Best Male Video at the MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS JAPAN 2008. The PV got nominated for Best Video is of course,
fake star (I mean, MTV, sex, fake star...). Nonetheless, do vote for him since his chances of winning aren't very good, considering his competition (Ne-yo and SEAMO amongst them). However, it is not sure as to whether one living outside of Japan can vote or not (or whether their votes count), so try your luck I suppose. You can vote
[HERE].
Speaking of the VMAJ08, AAA also got nominated for Best Buzz Asia with their PV for MIRAGE. So good luck to them as well I suppose? They're attending the ceremony, so I'm guessing... they've already won. But that's just my guess.
And here's a nice little schedule box of the upcoming TV appearances for our dear Kenken.
03/07 - Bokura no Ongaku ("Ken Hirai Works")
03/09 - Music Lovers (Hitomi wo Tojite, Shashin, Canvas and possibly POP STAR)
03/12 - SONGS (POP STAR, Hitomi wo Tojite, Shashin and Canvas)
03/14 - Music Station (Shashin)
03/21 - Bokura no Ongaku ("Ken Hirai x Tomokazu Miura")
Loads to look forward to it seems. Hopefully it'll result in more sales.
Ken's song
UPSET in his upcoming album will be used in a
CM for LG's L705iX phone. It's some new swanky looking shiny phone, so if you're really THAT hardcore a fan, go buy one. Ken looks stoned. He and Nissy are snorting the same thing. xD
And lastly, Oricon's NINKI (popularity) numbers have been released for
FAKIN' POP's debut week. NINKI numbers basically show how well-anticipated by the public a certain release is. Here are the points.
Albums
#1 - Ken Hirai (FAKIN' POP) - 250.00
#2 - Kou Shibasaki (Single Best) - 85.80
#3 - GARNET CROW (LOCKS) - 55.20
That's pretty good points right there, so maybe! Finally! He will have a release that breaks 200000! I mean, after
UTABAKA, NONE of his releases has hit the golden 200k (best being
Elegy with 118k), and some barely crosses 30k (
Canvas with 32k). Which is just really sad. So Kenken fans, BUY BUY BUY! xD
