It's Thursday so you know the drill... wait, you don't? Oh right yeah, the blog's still new - In that case, I present you with the first music video to grace this page; Ken Hirai's Pop Star! Every Thursday I'll present you with the best J-Pop/VGM of the moment (and by the moment I mean whatever I'm currently listening to, natch).
With the introduction over then, let me tell you about this ear pleasingly intense song and majestic artist. I first heard Pop Star when playing Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii: Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2 which is the sequel to Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan, the Japanese version of the awesome Elite Beat Agents!
The song see's our beauty Ken Hirai longing to be a Pop Star, who also most shockingly plays every person in the music video - Yes, even the bears! At one point you even see Hirai San being lifted into the air via swing much like Ai Ai in the original Super Monkey Ball. I know what you're thinking; Monkey Ball references, bears and an afro wig? This video couldn't be improved in any way imaginable! Well... maybe if it had better lighting and a higher budget.
Still, after watching the video I have to say I fell deeply in love with old Hirai and haven't been able to stop listening to his music for weeks now, even if his voice is freakishly high pitched - I can only hope you share the same opinion and from this point forward support him with violent love.
