July's J-WAVE LIVE 20th ANNIVERSARY EDITION of Ken's performance set that was aired via FujiTV NEXT

https://www.bilibili.com/video/av68318463

FujiTV NEXT aired the following songs of from Ken's J-WAVE LIVE 20th ANNIVERSARY EDITION set :

1) LIFE is...
2) One Love Wonderful World
3) POP STAR
4) Non Fiction

The 1st 2 songs Love Love Love & Mahoutte Itte Ii Kana? were cut from the broadcast

I'm real stoked that FujiTV NEXT kept Ken's performances of LIFE is... & One Love Wonderful World intact especially since he rarely perform these 2 songs nowadays

I always have liked One Love Wonderful World and it's very surprising Ken performed it . Not only is it a very old song but it's 1 of the few songs that Ken sung entirely in English

Just like One Love Wonderful World & Non Fiction , only an acoustic guitarist backed Ken up vocally

POP STAR is quite atypical but at least Ken managed to walk around Yokohama Arena a bit instead of being rooted down in his seat x)

And seeing Ken dancing a bit onstage alongside with the POP STAR mascots was quite funny haha

Lastly to see Ken sing acapella in the beginning of Non Fiction , so awesome

https://www.barks.jp/news/?id=1000172372

Interesting list , even some of Ken's most recently released singles also made the cut aside from the usual suspects

For me I'm surprised Canvas , Missin' you ~It will break my heart~ are not in , same thing goes for Ooki na Furudokei & PAUL

Not a lot like Miracles & doesn't help the song is so long , length wise but I still like it after all these years

I also like style as well but oh well

The PEANUTS collaboration original pouch giveaway is so cute , I had no idea Ken is actually a PEANUTS fan

So in this context , Charlie Brown is Ken while Snoopy is Ken's longtime backup guitarist ? xD

And as far as I know , this's the 1st time a fanclub version of a Ken release has been made available for fanclub members exclusively :O

Lastly , the A-side is released digitally today as well

Kinda fitting for Ken to use lime green colour ink on the board cos that's what his current hair colour is :dead2

KarenPang 28th October 2019 02:51 PM

Seeing Ken's hair in shocking bright lime green in MUSIC STATION , it's just woah o_O

That is the most bold hair colour Ken has chosen & I thought when he had blonde or spiky hair , they were up there

At 1st I thought Ken was wearing a wig on MUSIC STATION but nope haha

The 1st #302 TV performance Ken did was so simple which speaks volume on how vocally talented he's

Too bad the Strawberry Sex performance done on MUSIC STATION was too short it should have been longer :s
