YesAsia Editorial Description

L'Arc-en-Ciel guitarist Ken drops his first solo album! Focusing on solo activities since parting ways with the other members of L'Arc-en-Ciel after their 2008 world tour, Ken just released a single last month, and he's following up quickly now with In Physical. Ken collaborated with many talented musicians for this album including 44MAGNUM's Joe, Toshi Nagai, Shinya, Hasegawa Koji, Muraishi Masayuki, and BUG bassist TAKASHI. Presenting a fusion of hard rock and lyrical melodies, In Physical comes with 11 tracks including his earlier singles Deeper and Speed.

Product Information / Track List

Ken (L'Arc～en～Ciel)の待望の1stアルバム!! 2006年リリースの「Speed」、今年3月にリリースされたばかりの「Deeper」を引っさげ、Ken独自の世界が詰まった濃密な1枚。ハードロックと叙情的メロディの融合、しっとりと陶酔させられる旋律、重厚で深奥なサウンド、それらはKenから意図せず湧き出た不純のない楽曲として、このアルバムに収められている。レコーディングメンバーとして、ドラマーには、JOE (44MAGNUM)、真矢、Toshi Nagai、長谷川浩二、村石雅行、湊雅史という凄腕が集結し、ベースはシングルに引き続きTAKASHI (BUG)が参加。超豪華メンバーのプレイは必聴!

Amazing Compositions Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Ken has REALLY outdone himself this time. This album shows off his talent with the most ear-grabbing sounds. The opening song, though it doesn't have words, is an EXCELLENT opening. The title "REPOSE IN SOUND SLEEP" really does it serious justice. It goes so well with the cover design as well... It's as if the song is a lullaby taking you into Ken's "physical" world which can't be seen while awake. Even the album cover looks as if Ken is falling asleep into a luring dream...

The rest of the songs really shows off Ken's personal taste in music aside from L'Arc~en~ciel's overall theme. When listening to L'Arc~en~ciel play, Ken's solo parts are amazing. Well, imagine having an entire album full of his solo work? This album includes the singles "Speed", "Deeper", and the recently released "S". However, all of the songs on the album feel as though they could have been a hit single.

Ken has an interesting voice and it's easy to fall into. It's... different and adding to the fact that any L'Arc~en~ciel fan can listen to guitar music and immediately pick up Ken's playing, this album REALLY shows off his freestyling skill.

When it comes to albums, I really look closely at the opening and ending songs because they usually hold the key to the albums true feel and what the artist wants the listener to get out of the album. "Save Me" was an excellent choice as an ending song and it REALLY hits home. After such an intense album, this song slows you down a bit with his echoing vocals and gives you a taste of Ken's english skills. It's as if the song is saying that after getting too deep into the dream (the album), there must be a way to get out and move on, even if its just a little (even if it's just next door~). I really like his pure vocals in this song.

The album, IN PHYSICAL, let's you truly get a taste of the world of Ken Kitamura. True to it's title, this album really has his "touch" in everything from the vocals to the music and I must say that it's a real treat.
