Information

Canvas / Kimi wa Su.te.ki♡ is Hirai Ken's 28th single and first double A-side single. It is the lead-in release to Hirai's new album which was released on March 12th 2008. The main song is the ending theme to Fuji TV's Hachimitsu to Clover dorama based in a popular manga. It has been described as a pop-ballad and was written and composed by Hirai Ken himself and arranged by Tomita Keichi, just like Ring some years ago. The B-side Cry&Smile!! was used as the Knorr Cup Soup CM song.

Originally two versions of the single were planned for release, a limited edition with a bonus track (DFCL-1400) (presumably Canvas (piano version)) and a regular version (DFCL-1401), both costing ¥1,223; however closer to the release date the regular version was scrapped in favour all copies having the bonus track and being non-limited.

According to Music Station on 28th February 2008, Canvas has been downloaded as digital single over 1,5 Million in 1 month after it release and it surpassed his most previous most downloaded single POP STAR with 1,4 Million.
