From previous thread

Ken is currently in New York as part of Ken's Bar 20th Anniversary Special!! Vol.2 where he will perform 2 days back to back today & tomorrow at New York's Sony Hall

The last time Ken performed in New York was 8 years ago in BB King’s Blues Club which an old report on his concert back then can be read via http://jame-world.com/us/articles-67...york-city.html

Wowow will be airing this concert in October with interviews of non Japanese people (I was one of the people they interviewed). Hopefully someone can record the broadcast since I'm curious to see what they do with it and to see the show again.

Likewise , the only other country that Ken perform outside of Japan besides USA is Taiwan but yet he went to India and Thailand to shoot his PVs which's interesting

I don't know which state you live in USA but SPYAIR & ROOKiEZ is PUNK'D will be doing a joint world together and for USA dates , both bands will stop by the following states :

23rd Sept @ Atlanta , Georgia -- Cobb Galleria Centre
25th Sept @ Oklahoma -- Diamond Ballroom
27th Sept @ New York --Gramercy Theatre

1st Oct @ San Francisco , California -- The Regency Ballroom
3rd Oct @ Houston , Texas -- White Oak

Just got back from the second show. It was the same setlist except the request songs. Second request song he did a nice acoustic version of Pop Star. Some songs he did a cool arrangement with just upright bass and vocal. The only other difference today was Ken explained the meaning behind non fiction in English. His vocal was excellent same as yesterday.

I was there too! He sounded amazing. I was floored. They filmed tonight's show as well. When it airs it will most likely be a composite of both. Wish they got to interview me! Did they do it before or after the show? I sped out of there afterwards to avoid the crowd.

Of the 18 songs he sang, I recognized them all except the very last one (after "even if"). Anyone who was there know the title of it?

Also, does anyone know what songs were requested yesterday?

Run to you was requested yesterday, he messed up the lyrics twice but still did a good job with most of it. He was joking that it was an old song and he almost couldn't find it in the songbook. I forget the other song request. They filmed my interview after the show yesterday. I didn't see the wowow staff after the show tonight. I did see the woman who interviewed me yesterday when I was in the line up today and she said hi, but I didn't see them interviewing tonight. But then again I waited a while to leave so they could have been finished. Lol we probably saw each other there and just didn't know. Don't know the title of the last song, I didn't recognize it.

Glad you guys had a great time seeing Ken perform and for Ken to perform Run to you that a fan requested him to sing , it's interesting cos that's the B-side in Itoshiki Hibi yo and yeah it's an old song cos the single was released almost 7 years ago :O

Hopefully the Japanese news sites like Barks , natalie.mu will publish photos and maybe the setlist of Ken's Bar 20th Anniversary Special!! Vol.2 in due time

Haha yeah that's true & oh no Ken's 20th anniversary was 3 years ago , this year is the 20th anniversary since he started his Ken's Bar concept theme concert/tour

Mezamashi TV tomorrow morning will broadcast footages on Ken

https://twitter.com/cx_mezamashi/sta...32023401799680

It's very highly likely Mezamashi TV will air snippets of Ken's Bar 20th Anniversary Special!! Vol.2 tomorrow morning , I don't know if anyone will post it online though :s

At most alternatively is to wait until Oct then WOWOW aired Ken's Bar 20th Anniversary Special!! Vol.2 concert :O

I made a playlist as soon as I got home since it was still fresh in my mind lol. Here it is in case you're interested. The order might be slightly off cause it's just from memory, I didn't write it down. But I think I got it right.

1. Theme From New York, New York (Frank Sinatra cover)
2. Mahoutte Itte Ii Kana?
3. FAITH (George Michael cover)
4. wonderful world (Fan Request)
5. LADYNAPPER
6. why
7. Hitomi wo Tojite
8. Shiranaindeshou?
-Break-
9. I Wanna Be Loved By You (Marilyn Monroe cover)
10. Elegy
11. Soredemo Shitai
12. POP STAR (Fan Request)
13. Sekai de Ichiban Kimi ga Suki?
14. One Love Wonderful World
15. KISS OF LIFE
16. Nonfiction
-Encore-
17. even if
18. ???

Couldn't pinpoint the last song for the life of me. Could've been a newer song as I'm more familiar with his older stuff or a b-side as I'm not familiar with much of those either.

^ thanks for the setlist. I still don't know what the last song was, I'll see if I can figure it out by binging his songs haha. Otherwise we'll have to wait for the official setlist or wowow broadcast.

@Karen thanks for the correction, I knew he debuted shortly after Namie and before Ayu so the 20th anniversary thing had me a bit confused. 20th anniversary of Ken's Bar Live makes more sense.

I'm excited to see the footage, whether on mezamashi or wowow. Just really curious to see if I appear on camera since he walked right by me on both nights and also when they filmed his entrance to the theater itself from the street I was standing in line right there lol

http://www.billboard-japan.com/d_news/detail/67129/2
https://www.m-on-music.jp/0000293744/

Great photos taken , the atmosphere inside Sony Hall look really nice

The article wrote that Sony Hall was only open this year in March and Ken was the 1st Japanese artiste to perform in the venue

Half of Me is a sequel to even if and from what I know , it was never included in any of Ken's physical releases but he has done this song numerous times in past Ken's Bar concerts

I'm surprised Ken didn't performed Love Love Love and/or LAKuEN , especially LAKuEN cos that's considered as his breakthrough hit :O

@AJFmzk - no worries that's fine , glad to have that cleared up

^ Thanks for all that, Karen. Great to see/have pics from that night as we weren't allowed to take any.

And I'm impressed with my memory, I was only slightly off with the setlist order and now it makes sense why I didn't remember the last song. Can't wait to watch the broadcast/purchase a home video release if it has one.

No worries and it's quite impressive you were able to recall most of the songs that Ken sung based on memory , it's not an easy thing to do

And I think it's a Japanese thing not to be able to have photography or videography done inside their concert cos I know for Western concerts , that's generally allowed

I hope when WOWOW aired Ken's Bar 20th Anniversary Special!! Vol.2 concert in Oct , it will be uploaded online and if so , I will download and share with you guys

Yeah, I got a few photos of the venue and stage but that's it. Once they came on stage no photos allowed. I hope they do a home release so I can buy it. I asked one of the Wowow staff but they didn't know if they will put it on DVD or not.

I hope when WOWOW aired Ken's Bar 20th Anniversary Special!! Vol.2 concert in Oct , it will be uploaded online and if so , I will download and share with you guys
Yeah, western artists generally allow photos and videos. With Japanese artists there could be any number of reasons for no photos/videos. Someone once told me it was for copyright reasons. But also it's a distraction for the artist.
Thanks Karen, looking forward to seeing it and thanks for the setlist and photos

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 ?
