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? Last edited by jean-baptiste; 29th August 2018 at 04:17 AM. |

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 Ken with his backup musicians backstage in Sony Hall https://twitter.com/KEN_HIRAI_staff/...58077440651264 Wow Ken looks great :O

Thanks Karen! |

Thanks Karen! In retrospect run to you isn't that old considering it's his 20th anniversary haha
I got in at 5 but I walked around a bit during the waiting time so you probably still saw me haha Last edited by AJFmzk; 29th August 2018 at 02:44 PM. |

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

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 Last edited by AJFmzk; 30th August 2018 at 03:10 AM. |

^ 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

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 ?
