STILL ALIVE
For STILL ALIVE, the theme Tomoyasu Hotei wrote for Hokuto no Ken 201X, Tetsuo Hara drew a shouting Kenshiro.
On 4 August 2010, Tomoyasu Hotei released 「STILL ALIVE」 on EMI Music Japan, his first single in five years, written as the theme of Hokuto no Ken 201X. It was Hara, who often listened to Hotei while working, who suggested the theme to him. For the sleeve, he drew Kenshiro in mid-shout, an image he said he had rarely drawn. When he thought of a shout, he explained, Hotei’s face came to mind beside it. Hotei, for whom rock’n’roll means shouting, slipped Kenshiro’s “アータタタターッ！” into the guitar before the verse. The two artists, both 48 at the time, met for a joint interview in the magazine ORICON STYLE.
