musical find of the day
Apr. 1st, 2010 04:12 pmHirai Ken covers Ne-Yo: Because of You.
Oh man I'm sorry the concept just kills me. It's actually pretty good - decent arrangement and Hirai of course has the vocal chops to carry it off. (And the English pronunciation passes muster, too, aha.) It's not like he doesn't have a sizeable R&B-ish back catalogue, after all. But I can't help imagining what yr average Ne-Yo fan would think of this guy.
More music later.
edit: and of course I couldn't link Pop Star without watching it again. That remains one of Japan's best music videos ahahaha a thing of beauty and a joy forever.
