Hirai Ken scored a remarkable hit with his concept album Ken’s Bar in 2003. The album of mainly cover songs climbed to Oricon’s #2 position. Now Hirai releases his second installment in the Ken’s Bar series. Ken’s Bar 2 features twelve tracks including cover versions of Japanese and overseas hits. This time Hirai offers his renditions of Hamasaki Ayumi’s Love – Destiny -, Billy Joel’s New York State of Mind, Stevie Wonder’s Lately, and the Eagles’ Desperado.
