Both Ken's Bar 2017 X'mas Special !! dates at Yokohama Arena were sold out . A total of 24,000 fans attended both concert dates

I so want to hear Ken's rendition of Namie's WANT ME , WANT ME and I'm surprised up to now he hasn't covered ARASHI's Kitto Daijoubu

Also , great to see Sentimental & Kimi wa Tomodachi in the setlist , still 2 great songs

Also this's really cool , didn't expect that actual tables & chairs are put in the main arena inside Yokohama Arena itself

Sports Hochi wrote that Ken's participation in this year's Kouhaku is his 1st 1 in 6 years

And Ken's Bar concept concert was started back in 1998 so 2018 will be its 20th anniversary since Ken started it

Also , Ken & other artistes will be performing at CDTV Special ! Christmas Ongaku-sai 2017 later on tonight

I always thought Ken's Bar was a small venue concert. You know, like... bar. It's pretty great. The middle area had chairs and tables are very neat and fresh to me.

Yeah I also have the same assumption as you but no Ken's Bar concerts all the while tend to be held in big venues like Arenas

Ken’s Bar 2017 this year in July was held outdoors at Yamanashi's Kawaguchiko Stellar Theater with fireworks to boot at the end of each concert date

Last year's Ken's Bar 2016 X'mas Eve Special !! was held at Osaka Jo Hall and that was also sold out too like the recent Ken's Bar 2017 X'mas Special !!

Also Ken's Bar 2016 took place last July at Chiba's Makuhari Messe which the seating capacity is almost the same as Yokohama Arena

I don't think Ken has a tendency in performing in very small venues like Blue Note Tokyo , Motion Blue Yokohama , Billboard Live Osaka where the seating capacity is less than 500 (Motion Blue Yokohama is 150) cos seeing that he can sell out Arena venues , I can imagine how extremely difficult tickets will be able to get if he downscale a lot

But it would be a really great upclose experience

Ken's Bar concerts tend to be more acoustic driven and laidback with Ken telling a lot of jokes in between during the MC takes

He performed with disability dancer. Such an emotional performance. He sounds more powerful and controlled than the one in FNS. Love it.

Ken performed Non Fiction a lot last year on many different TV shows , it would have been nice if he sang a song or 2 from Utabaka Dake ni.
