4) Ken is the name of the swedish hiphop artist Ken Ring. During the late nineties he emerged as one of the first rappers in the second swedish hip-hop wave. It was during this time that artists such as Blues, Petter and Thomas Rusiak. He released his debut album, one of the first hip hop albums to be released in swedish, during the spring of 1998. To this date he has released 8 albums, including one that was made in collaboration with norwegian producer/legend Tommy Tee.
Unlike most other Swedish rappers Ken attracted alot of controversy, because of his tendency to bring out social issues such as crime, jail, drugs and ethnic integration in his songs. Especially controvercial was his song "Stockholms blodbad" (translated "the Stockholm Blood-bath"). In this song he is perceived as promoting the murder of the royal family as well as the rape of the princesse. Although he himself claims the statements of the song to be of a strictly rhetorical type, Swedish media and opinion were unforgiving. Ken was shunned from social events and popular media for a long time. Most of his supporters cite this as evidence of the cowardly way in which Swedish media never misses a chance to scrutinize uncomfortable outsiders.
5) KEN is the ex guitarist of the Japanese Rock band ZI:KILL.

本当はずっと前から 君を連れて来たかったんだ
キャンドルが優しく揺れる この店のカウンターで
君はうれしそうに彼にもらった 指輪を眺めてる
君の心に 僕の雫は落ちないけど
このバーボンとカシスソーダがなくなるまでは
鍵をかけて (I miss you) 時間を止めて (even if)
君がここから離れないように (I'm with you, baby)
少しだけ酔い始めてるのかな 本当の気持ちだけど
君も少し (I want you) 酔った方がいい (even if)
そして僕の肩に寄りかかればいい (love somebody else)
だけど全ての言葉をまた飲み干して 君から目をそらした
会話が途切れて二人の時間が彷徨うたび
きまって君は彼の 話ばかりを繰り返す
君のことはどんな事でも 知りたいはずなのに
言葉をさえぎるためだけに 煙草に火をつけた
君のグラスは 他の誰かで満たされてる
このバーボンとカシスソーダを飲み干したら
君は 君は 彼の胸に戻るの?
鍵をかけて (I miss you) 終電を越えて (even if)
君がこの店から帰れないように (I'm with you, baby)
今はただ独りよがりだけど 本当の気持ちなんだ
君もいっそ (I want you) 酔ってしまえばいい (even if)
そして彼のことを忘れちゃえばいい (love somebody else)
だけど残りのバーボンを いま飲み干して 時計の針を気にした
そりゃかなり酔っ払っているけど
その責任は君なんだから
鍵をかけて 終電を越えて 時間を止めて
The lyrics to Ken's song "If" tell the story of a man who has been in love with someone for a long time and finally takes them to a bar. While there, the woman seems happy and content but keeps talking about another man. The singer is torn between wanting to be with her and not wanting to interfere in her relationship. He thinks about stopping time and keeping her with him forever. He wonders if she feels the same way and tries to make her drink more to see if drunkenness will reveal her true feelings. But in the end, he lets her go, aware that she is not his to keep.
The first two lines of the song explain that the singer did not just coincidentally run into the woman; he had wanted to be with her for a long time. This sets the stage for the rest of the story. The chorus repeatedly references the bourbon and cassis soda drink they are sharing and how as long as they are drinking it, the woman belongs to the singer. However, the woman's attention keeps turning to another man, and the singer cannot help but feel left out. The second verse reveals that the singer was frustrated when the woman kept interrupting him by lighting cigarettes instead of talking to him. The bridge of the song is where he really begins to question whether he should keep trying to win her over or let her go. The final lines of the song reiterate the sad realization that the woman is not his to keep.
Overall, the lyrics to Ken's song "If" are about the conflict between wanting to be with someone and accepting that they belong to someone else. The singer is miserable throughout the song because of his unrequited love, and he ends up accepting that he must let her go. The sad atmosphere of the music reinforces this bittersweet message.
