Yeah I didn't realised yesterday was the 1st Ken's Bar setlist that didn't had any covers Ken performed until the reports pointed that out xD
I'm more curious to hear Ken briefly speak Mandarin cos that's not an easy language for Japanese to master :x It's great that Ken concluded the concert with Gaining Through Losing , it's still 1 of his best under rated album tracks Let alone it's also surprising Ken name dropped the fact that the Mandarin drama adaptation of Hana Yori Dango sung the Mandarin version of Gaining Through Losing which's quite funny Then again , it's no coincidence the Japanese drama adaptation of Hana Yori Dango starred ARASHI's MatsuJun as the lead = Ken's closet admiration for ARASHI as he used to name drop Kitto Daijoubu years ago during Ken's Bar 2006 xD

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.

Sony Japan has released the Liner Notes on Kaibutsu-san
On Kaibutsu-san - Ken wanted an attention grabbing song title so he settled on Kaibutsu-san - Song intro is retro electropop - Song is 4 minutes 4 seconds - Song is written & composed by Ken . Lyrically it's sung from a woman's perspective, just like Elegy & Shiranai ne Desho? - Aimyon appeared as a guest on Ken's radio show back in 2017 & from then on , they became friends http://www.sonymusic.co.jp/artist/KenHirai/info/516846
