Some footages of Ken Hirai 25th Anniversary Special !! Ken's Bar -ON LINE- that Mezamashi TV & ZIP! TV aired on Christmas Eve morning

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1XA411s7c2

Looks great & I thought Ken might dance during his cover of NiziU's Make you happy but luckily no

And Ken definitely should release his own solo take on Kaibutsu-san

I really liked this live version, they should just release that, maybe just as digital download. I'm not a huge fan of the electronic produced instrumentation in the original (though it is very catchy).

To celebrate Ken's 25th anniversary , writer Shimada Satoshi whom has traced Ken's music career from the beginning until now interviewed a total of 25 different people which they will share their thoughts about Ken

14th to 16th people in the list

14th - guitarist Ishinari Masato

15th - Yamamoto Mari ; General Manager Sony Japan

16th - nadY ; stylist

https://www.kh25th.net/interview/detail14/
https://www.kh25th.net/interview/detail15/
https://www.kh25th.net/interview/detail16/

Going to watch Ken Hirai 25th Anniversary Special !! Ken's Bar -ON LINE- later on , for now I don't know if it's the full show that WOWOW aired last Sun but most probably it's

WOWOW wrote that last Dec's Ken Hirai 25th Anniversary Special !! Ken's Bar -ON LINE- was held somewhere in Yokohama but most probably it was Yokohama Arena , again

I just finished watching the WOWOW broadcast of Ken Hirai 25th Anniversary Special!! Ken's Bar -ON LINE-

I think it's very evident on what's the exclusive WOWOW footages that they included were which was not part of the original livestream broadcast last year

And that's the encore segment which none of the news media wrote last Dec & also the choice of song that Ken did as well

I don't know if that was deliberately left out but it was the biggest surprise cos I didn't expect it & I was like wow when I watched it :O

The Ken's Bar concerts are always great to watch as it shows Ken at his finest vocals wise even though in the beginning , Ken's Bar -ON LINE- felt a bit eh as I could see Ken was a bit lost on how to approach the situation with this being his 1st online streamed concert

But as the concert progress , he felt more like himself

For once , I don't really miss the songs that Ken kept over performing as he has SO many other great songs in his discography & I really liked the performance of songs that he hasn't done in a very long time such as LIFE is... (he seldom perform this & rather perform LIFE is … ~another story~ instead) & especially UPSET

Ken's cover of NiziU's Make you happy is quite amusing & the parts where Ken rapped made me laugh even though I was kinda 1/2 expecting he might dance when he did so but alas no lmao

I also like Ken's solo take on Kaibutsu-san & he most definitely should release his own version of it in a future release cos he nailed it big time

All in all great stuff , I definitely will rewatch Ken's Bar -ON LINE- again !
