Project Honeyworks - Ken and Arisa
jwpizza25 for Ken Shibasaki
At the start of the series, Ken is what many would call a "playboy"-character. He cares little for 'love,' and treats it like a game. He says that it's because 'no one is able to move his heart'. In truth though, the reason why he avoids things such as love and commitment is that, as he grew up, he witnessed the breaking marriage between his parents. It severely distorted his view on love as a whole... until he met Arisa.
Arisa helped him realize that he isn't like his parents. In reality, he is his own person, capable of loving and capable of being a part of a stable, committed relationship. It was thanks to her that he was able to change and regain his smile, his joy in life, and his sense of self.
Ken will be singing the following songs:

It's so simple
They all fall for the same lines, be nimble
They'll believe and giggle
It works every time, my victory is guaranteed!
At least I thought so, til you went all out
No "Hey," no "Hello," just called my act out
But I just laughed and acted like I didn't get what you meant[Singing: Samishigariya // https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK6_Snqko_U ]
[1:08]
I've never told anyone in my entire life
It feels like only you'll accept this broken side of mine
Like a frightened kitten, I want to go hide
But the warmth and love in your smile
Make me yearn to stay here by your side[Speaking, reminiscing about how his feelings for Arisa developed]
The first time I spoke to her was a bit after I started high school. I tried out my usual pick-up lines, fully expecting you to fall for them right away; just like everyone else. And yet... you called out my act. You saw right through me.
Your words... "Why are you acting like that?"
They never left my head. For some reason, I couldn't seem to enjoy flirting with anyone anymore. I've never fallen in love with anyone for real- No one's managed to touch my heart like that before, and that was completely fine by me... But for some reason, I couldn't get you out of my head. I kept wondering; what would I have to do to make you smile, to make you look my way, to make you fall for me? Love has always been a game for me... until I met you.
