that's great LNany , I hope this's something worth looking out for in due time once more

Just gave the song a listen on youtube. Contrary to my expectation as yet another cheesy ballad, this one is actually not bad. One of the better ones from him since Hitomi wo Tojite. Most people may find the track still cheesy, but somehow for me the song flows very well.

Quite pleasantly surprised. After first listen I already like this track more than Candy

According to the sticker in CANDY single, the catalog no. is DFCL-1601-2. So it seems like this single will only get a CD+DVD release.

From tomo-shop...

CD+DVD (Limited Edition)
DFCL-1601/2
1575 yens (tax in)

CD (Regular Edition)
DFCL-1603
1223 yens (tax in)

Single is expected to include 3 original songs.

thanks LNany

the 1st single of Ken to be released in 2 editions after being in the business for 14 years O____O

I think CDJapan will send me an email update about this soon

Tracklist confirmed by Ken's official website:

CD
1. 僕は君に恋をする (Boku wa Kimi ni Koi wo Suru)
2. 一人じゃない (Hitori ja nai) [ more info about this track here ]

Cool, 一人じゃない is included in this single...was thinking that it would come out as a single all on its own
Can't wait till the cd is out next month, thanks for the info LNany and minlilin! =)

Hitori ja nai preview

Is this three musketeers?

That's soooo cute!!!!

Covers are out

AWESOME with a capital A

those are way better than CANDY's silly cover for sure xD xD xD

LOVE the covers, Thanks Josuke! =)

Thanks for the update!

I like the covers, better than CANDY ones definitely hahaha

Its been ages since the last time I went here. *blame my old computer who crashed and lost this forum link*

First hear this song from the BokuKimi commercial. Yes, I agree, in a glance, this sounds like another cheesy ballad song. But as usual, Hirai Ken with his simple but deep lyric. I feel in love in instant when I heard the reffrain. This song really suite to be BokuKimi theme song!!

So, any information about perhaps upcoming performance in MSte?

I'm not really sure whether the romaji of this song already posted or not, but here the romaji that I made。

Boku ga Kimi ni Koi wo Suru

moshimo negai ga kanau nara
kimi no kanashiimi wo
boku no mune no naka ni

sosogikonde kudasai
sono itami naraba
boku wa taerareru

mirai egaku chizu mo nakushiteshimau
chippoke na boku dakeredo kimi wo mitsuketa

sayonara arigatou suki dayo suki dayo
sayonara waratte yo nakunayo baka dana
Tsutaetai kotoba wa tomedonaku afureru
nandomo nandodemo boku wa kimi ni koi wo suru

kimi no negai ga kanau nara
subete sasageru to kokoro kara ieru
boku ga inakunattemo kieru koto nai
koiro ni somaru kokoro kimi to mitsuketa

sayonara mata aou gomen ne suki da yo
sayonara waratte yo okonna yo baka dana
koishii kurushii itoshii jya tarinai
nandomo nandodemo boku wa kimi to koi wo suru

koi suru hitomi to aisuru itami wo
kimi ga boku ni kureta kagayaki wasurenai
zutto....

sayonara arigatou suki dayo suki dayo
sayonara waratte yo nakunayo baka dana
tsutaetai kotoba wa tomedonaku afureru
nandomo nandodemo boku wa kimi no koi wo suru

sayonara mata aou gomen ne suki da yo
sayonara waratte yo okonna yo baka dana
koishii kurushii itoshii jya tarinai
nandomo nandodemo sakebu yo

suki dayo...
sayonara...

^ Glad you are back minerva : ) Thanks for the romaji.

So far the only performance confirmed is Bokura no Ongaku on 10/23! I think it's safe to assume that he will perform the song at Music Station, and probably at some other shows too. I think Sony is gonna to promote greatly this new single...

By the way, the official preview of "Hitori ja nai" is already available at Sony's website [LINK]

If Candy was him having fun, this would be him doing what he does best? Can't wait to hear how it's all put together in his next LP. Does anyone here actually like his PV for Candy? I still kinda like it... pity not many see what i see

It's not that I hate Candy PV, but that PV kinda unique (which make me can't like it like you). If I may say, the PV is too vulgar ><

Amazing cover.
