Description in Japanese
Speed [CD+DVD] / ken
日本を代表するロックバンド、L'Arc～en～Cielのギタリストkenが遂にソロ・プロジェクトを始動!! L'Arc～en～Cielのギタリスト、ソロバンド "SONS OF ALL PUSSYS" (Vo/G: Ken、B: Ein、Dr: Sakura) の活動を通して、音楽業界に異彩を放ってきたKenが遂に単独ソロ活動をスタートする。このデビュー作では今までとは異なるカラーで、Kenの音楽性の深さを改めて実感することができる。オリジナル曲でいうと L'Arc～en～Ciel のアルバム「AWAKE」以来、1年2ヶ月ぶりの新曲。この新曲「Speed」は大人の雰囲気の中に哀愁や切なさを感じさせるにも関わらず、その歌声にはどこか力強さをも感じる。もちろんKenのギタープレイも鮮やかに健在!! 2曲目は1965年の洋画「The Sandpiper (邦題:「いそしぎ」)」のテーマ曲「The Shadow Of Your Smile」、3曲目はGary Mooreの「Empty Rooms」をKen独特のフィルターを通してカヴァー。それぞれ味のある3曲。 「Speed」のPV映像を収録したDVD付き!!

This cd/dvd is amazing. When listening to Ken play with L Arc en Ciel, I love listening to his solo parts in the songs. I do not want him to stop. With this cd, it is all about Ken and I get to listen to him play throughout. I love his voice. It goes well with the melody of his music. You can hear and feel the passion he puts into his music. It is what I love best about Ken and the cd. Ken gives you a range of his musical talents. In Speed alone, you get mix of rock, a bit of a ballad, and even a little funk. It is a great combination. Empty Rooms is cool melody that he sings in English. Shadow of Your Smile is simply deep, with heavy but smooth sounding guitar and effects. It draws you in. You never get bored listening to his music. I can not get enough. He truly is a gifted musician. The dvd is just adorable, especially for Ken fans. I think it is cool that he gives you 15 minutes behind the scenes, in addition to the Speed videos. He always appears to be cool and down to earth, even in his appearance. You can not help but to love the guy. I hope that he brings us more of his own works.
