Ken's Bar experience was unforgettable!!!
B.B.King Blues Club and Grill was a perfect place for this event.
I could not belive I was able to see Ken's Bar in NY.
His concert ticket is REALLY hard to get in Japan. It's almost impossible.
I still can not believe I was there... It was a dream moment.
Thank you for Ken Hirai having Ken's Bar in NY.

Favorite moment: Ken came out by himself for an encore and played the piano while singing the last song. Don't recall the name, but it was beautiful. @

Traveled to NYC from Colorado just to see Ken, so we went both nights (Wednesday and Thursday). Seating is tricky at this venue, as there are good seats and bad seats, but you have very little control in the matter, even if you get there hours early.

First night was good, but the stage lighting was in our eyes, making it difficult most of the time to see Ken. Sound was not quite right and the video projection wasn't always showing the proper stage area (not that this matters in a venue this small). Ken's performance was great with two sets and an encore. He spoke Japanese almost exclusively, but 98% of the crowd was Japanese, so that's understandable. Ken's English is beautiful when he sings it, but apparently he's not as comfortable chatting in English.

Almost skipped the second night, as this venue requires a three-hour wait to get a decent seat, but so glad we didn't. The second night was perfect, aided by better seats along with improved sound (perhaps these were related) and Ken was more comfortable, telling better stories between songs.

"Ken's Bar" always includes cover songs, and the ones here were "moon river", Nora Jones' "don't know why", Sinatra's "new york" song (don't recall the name, but you know it), and a Stevie Wonder tune. But the highlights were Ken's own songs, including "Pop Star", "Kiss of Life", "Love, love, love", and a bunch more.

The crowd was amazing, sort of like being in Tokyo, as there were only a few non-Japanese folks. The two women and the other couple at our table loved the show and this made the whole evening more enjoyable.

I had great time!!! His voice was amazing! Also, it was nice that he shared his feelings to audience with his talk. His funs from Japan were very polite and friendly . I enjoyed talking with them, too. I hope he comes more often to NY for his events.

His quality of singing was awusome!!

This was my first concert of Ken Hirai. It was worth to see his performance.

I have a comment for the BB King.
It was against the rule of the ticket that they just let the all guests to sit the table
as first comes first services basis.
We didn't know that they were going to do that. So we sit almost the worst table where
we could hardly see the stage.
That was the worst thing the BB King treated all the customers!!
I really would like to see their sincereity this time out of my comment.
Thank you.
