To me I personally think taking photos & recording video during a concert is very distracting
Especially as most of the time , the quality of the video recorded by fans is not done professionally
That's why in a way I'm glad that Japanese concerts imposed such rules even when they perform overseas
But there're exceptions . When flumpool 1st came to my country to perform years ago & also most recently , during the tail end of their concert , their lead singer said that everyone is allowed to take photos
For flumpool's most recent concert here 2 years ago , I didn't took any photos at the end of the concert as my view wasn't so good and the day before , I attended their press conference + I stood so near the stage until I took more than 50 photos of flumpool so upclose hahaha
Anyway , here's hoping that Ken's Bar 20th Anniversary Special!! Vol.2 will get released in DVD or Blu-ray . It's unfortunate that Ken's 2010 concert in New York was not included in a physical release of his :s
And if Ken's Bar 20th Anniversary Special!! Vol.2 will be included in a future release of Ken , it probably might get bundled together with a future Ken's Bar IV concept album like what happened to Ken's Bar III
If that's not going to happen due to copyright reasons , then the next alternative is to rely on someone to record the footages when WOWOW aired Ken's Bar 20th Anniversary Special!! Vol.2 in Oct
Also before I forget , jean-baptiste & AJFmzk , were any concert goods of Ken sold at Sony Hall or did you guys didn't saw any merchandise stand selling them ?
