It was a good show, lots of a cappella moments. Think it's still available for streaming and you might still be able to buy tickets even though the live stream is over

Wow I so want to hear Ken's cover of NiziU's Make you happy for kick purposes xD

Somemore info on what was written about Ken Hirai 25th Anniversary Special !! 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 !

To celebrate Ken's 25th anniversary , writer Shimada Satoshi whom has traced Ken's music career from the beginning until now interviewed a total of 25 different people which they will share their thoughts about Ken

17th & 18th people in the list

17th - TAKE ; hair & makeup artist

https://www.kh25th.net/interview/detail17/

18th - MIHO BROWN , a dancer who has been 1 of Ken's many backup dancers for years

https://www.kh25th.net/interview/detail18/

I was 1/2 expecting MIHO BROWN to be 1 of the 2 POP STAR mascots who have danced with Ken for years all these while but nah , no mention of that in the interview's link , LOL

Some footages of Ken Hirai 25th Anniversary Special !! Ken's Bar -ON LINE- that Mezamashi TV & ZIP! TV aired on Christmas Eve morning

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1XA411s7c2

Looks great & I thought Ken might dance during his cover of NiziU's Make you happy but luckily no

And Ken definitely should release his own solo take on Kaibutsu-san
