[Ken Hirai] The 6th thread - Ken's Bar 2021 -ONLINE- DVD/Blu-ray (11.05.22)

[KarenPang]

Next year is Ken's 25th anniversary in the business , just like V6 and both artistes are still going strong despite the changes in the music industry

Even up to now , not a lot of about Ken is known personal wise even though some bit parts of his personal life is known via his songs

Such as his late dad's passing , his late dog's passing & most recently his friend committed suicide which Ken expressed all of his thoughts/feelings via his music and not on social media

Even though now at this day & age where artistes uses social media to communicate with people , Ken is the rare few that does not do that . It's his staff that do it on his behalf

That said with 2020 being Ken's 25th anniversary , I do hope he have plans to celebrate in a big way

[AJFmzk]

^ that’s a really good setlist. Excited to see the broadcast!

[AJFmzk]

^ That's so interesting. And I love Gaining through losing, it's a great song to end the show with.

[AJFmzk]

^ thanks for the link! Can’t wait to see this!

Ken with Aimyon

xD

Aimyon said that her favourite Ken album is SENTIMENTALovers & it's an album that she still repeatedly plays in her home stereo up to now

[jiarongisme]

YAS. I hope this means that it's one step closer to him being more international, like making his YouTube and Spotify not region-locked.

This year is Ken's 25th anniversary so I wouldn't be surprised if it might happen

That happened for aiko last month so maybe this year Ken should do it next

[jiarongisme]

Not that I know of.

[jiarongisme]

Both the song and the PV are great. The PV is so beautifully surrealistic. Love it.

Now can he PLEASE make his streaming catalogue available worldwide pleaseeee. UGH

Babyface & his family were unfortunately tested positive for COVID-19 sometime back

Luckily both Babyface & his family are on the mend to recovery

That's real scary , not sure if Ken still keeps in touch with Babyface cos it has been almost 2 decades since they last work together

[thinkingoutloud89]

seems like all his stuff is up on apple music in Germany.

[hud]

his b-sides, the new songs from Utabaka 2 and some of his newest stuff (aside from kaibutsusan) are missing from Spotify, but I can deal with that. at least the albums are there.
