Ken's Bar -ON LINE- - Last time Ken sang UPSET was during his FAKIN' POP tour in 2008 - Last night's online concert is the only live appearance Ken did for the year ie. he didn't do any single TV performance for 2020 :s - Tables & chairs were laid out at the venue yesterday even though no audience were present - If not for the COVID-19 pandemic , Ken would have done a special live concert in Mie & a domestic tour within Japan to celebrate his 25th anniversary - A drone was used when POP STAR was performed

^ UPSET was done with upright bass, which sounded so cool. It was similar to how they arranged Elegy for live in NYC 2018.

I just finished watching the WOWOW broadcast of Ken Hirai 25th Anniversary Special!! Ken's Bar -ON LINE-
I think it's very evident on what's the exclusive WOWOW footages that they included were which was not part of the original livestream broadcast last year And that's the encore segment which none of the news media wrote last Dec & also the choice of song that Ken did as well I don't know if that was deliberately left out but it was the biggest surprise cos I didn't expect it & I was like wow when I watched it :O The Ken's Bar concerts are always great to watch as it shows Ken at his finest vocals wise even though in the beginning , Ken's Bar -ON LINE- felt a bit eh as I could see Ken was a bit lost on how to approach the situation with this being his 1st online streamed concert But as the concert progress , he felt more like himself For once , I don't really miss the songs that Ken kept over performing as he has SO many other great songs in his discography & I really liked the performance of songs that he hasn't done in a very long time such as LIFE is... (he seldom perform this & rather perform LIFE is … ~another story~ instead) & especially UPSET Ken's cover of NiziU's Make you happy is quite amusing & the parts where Ken rapped made me laugh even though I was kinda 1/2 expecting he might dance when he did so but alas no lmao I also like Ken's solo take on Kaibutsu-san & he most definitely should release his own version of it in a future release cos he nailed it big time All in all great stuff , I definitely will rewatch Ken's Bar -ON LINE- again !
