For once half of me is the opening song & not the concluding no.

Also nice to see that Ken performed Ite mo Tatte mo for the 1st time & as for the unreleased song Ken debuted for the 1st time during the encore segment , Ken said it's a work in progress

That's why for now there's no title to the new song Ken performed last night for the 1st time at the end of the concert

Even more photos published from last night's Ken's Bar 20th Anniversary Special !! vol.4

Unfortunately I cannot download videos hosted on GYAO! anymore but length wise , the Ite mo Tatte mo PV is under a minute longer than the version uploaded via Ken's YouTube account

I support Ken for almost 15 years & that outfit he wore when he performed POP STAR is hands down his funniest yet most epic outfit he donned xD

If Ite mo Tatte mo gets a physical release , I hope Ariola Japan will include the PV making of footages as I want to see how painstakingly Ken underwent 5 hours worth of preparation to get the look he donned in the PV

To celebrate the digital release of Ite mo Tatte mo , Ariola Japan has issued special SNS images of Ken that can be used on Twitter , LINE & other SNS

Sweet , I hope that next week Ken can turn up in the sorcerer getup he donned in the Ite mo Tatte mo PV

But knowing how time consuming it's for Ken to get transformed , next alternative is for Ken to wear pink pyjamas ?

^ Most likely. I could actually see it going either way but that sorcerer costume probably took forever. I'm interested to see how this song sounds live though.

I think Ken might still be able to don the sorcerer getup/look at next week's MUSIC STATION

But if so , that means he probably have to be in MUSIC STATION studio real early to get that done since the news articles wrote he took 5 hours to get transformed :dead2

If not , then yeah next alternative will be the pink pyjamas

I'm also curious on how the MUSIC STATION performance will be like . I hope it will be funny cos Ken seldom get to showcase the comical side of him to the general public as he's usually come across as real stoic

But in reality , Ken is very funny . He's the same as Fukuyama Masaharu-san where both guys can tell a bunch of jokes together real easily during the MCs of their concerts

Ken was featured on Sun's Oshare Izumu

Tonight's live broadcast of MUSIC STATION just started

And looks like Ken is not wearing either the pink pyjamas or the sorcerer getup from Ite mo Tatte mo PV for tonight's performance

https://twitter.com/Mst_com/status/1136949018817228806

what brand are his pants from?

^ Unfortunately I don't know what clothes brands Ken wears during TV shows :x

That's not disclosed online unlike other artistes , let alone Ken doesn't have SNS , his staff is the 1 that updates them , not him
