CNN's Talk Asia Program- Ken Hirai 平井堅, 3/3

Ken Hirai is interviewed for CNN's Talk Asia in 2006 and discusses his unique looks for a Japanese male and how he was mistaken for a Westerner as a youth in Tokyo. This clip ends with Hirai performing at the Saitama Super Arena. Unfortunately, I didn't catch Ken Hirai's interview from the beginning. I only got parts 2 and 3.

@KoolJayJ Considering that I lived in Fukuoka and my father is from Fukuoka I can guarantee you many japanese from the parts I mentioned look like him. In fact my father is often mistaken for being part foreigner as well even though we can trace his lineage back centuries (part of a samurai clan).
