Ken Hirai - Japanese male Pop singer

Ken Hirai is one of most poplare male pop singer in Japan.
He also compose some of his songs.

He looks not typical Japanese but half with European... I would say.
He has rumor if he may be homosexual.. what would you think?

He has many many hit songs.
One of his song I like is "Ring"

He has not been successful for long time.
But after the song called "Rakuen" He start to be known by many people.

He is known as R&B singer in Japan but to me he is rather Pop singer comparing to International music industory.
