Ken Hirai and Namie Amuro team up for a collaboration single titled "Grotesque(グロテスク) feat. Namie Amuro(安室奈美恵)" set to be out on April 2nd, 2014.

For this collaboration, Hirai attended Amuro's tour and handed her a personal letter at the venue requesting for this partnership.  After spending one whole year in production, this powerful duet song written by Hirai himself was born. It is said the song is for people who are struggling and fighting to live everyday. There are negative feelings lurking in the depths of the human mind. Hirai said he wants to use music to cheer these people on and to convey the meaning to keep on fighting.  Amuro said it is a huge honor for her to participate on this collaboration with Mr. Hirai and that she's glad she was able to convey these meaningful lyrics from a woman's viewpoints so the song would appeal to more people.
