Ok so Ken's popularity in China's like a drop in the ocean but look at it this way , at least he's the only male solo Japanese artist on the list so that's not so bad isn't it ?

I will correct it now

well, we can conclude that hirai ken is the 2nd most popular male singer in china ^^ I read Oda kazumasa in the list, which means he's not the only male singer in the chart

I'M from GUANGZHOU too!!!hahaha!!! :lol!:
I think KEN is not as famous as the other artist which shows in the form.
Some of the people knows about KEN,all beacause of his unique look. I feel desponding about this.
Hope people will love him after listened his music.

"Some of the people knows about KEN,all beacause of his unique look."
I felt a certain reluctance to tell myself that it's true...

"since we are geographically close to HK we get the fresh scoops and new releases"
now i need to install something to breach a great firewall to get more fresh news...

Yeah, huhuhu!! Ken's popularity in China is dropping like temperature reading in a thermometer in a cold winter day!!!! Any fresh news about Ken recently? He's been inactive for a long time now.
