Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

Ken Hirai 'Make My Heart' MUSIC VIDEO (Short Ver.)

Make my heart, Ken Hirai

This song, with its strikingly beautiful piano intro, is the theme song for the 2017 film Doraemon: Nobita’s Great Adventure in the Antarctic Kachi Kochi.

Its gentle, conversational phrases and lyrics, which can even sound like a love ballad, are truly moving.

I’ve heard it was composed with the irreplaceable bond between Doraemon and Nobita in mind, and with the image of “the person more precious than anything.” Accompanied by a clear, crystalline arrangement that evokes the Antarctic air, Ken Hirai’s voice resonates sweetly and beautifully, making it a masterpiece that conveys warm, heartfelt love.
