B’z presents UNITE #01 I felt was a testing ground & I will not be surprised if a sequel will happen in future

L'arc is possible , let alone LUNA SEA or maybe BUCK-TICK

I do know that all 4 dates of B’z presents UNITE #01 were all sold out & it's not a surprise when you get 3 great JRock bands perform at the same time

Suga Shikao will release Sugarless III on 22nd Dec & 1 of the songs included is his self cover of KAT-TUN's debut single Real Face

Tak had a hand in arranging the melody of the Real Face self cover of Suga's

For now I don't know if this's the same version as included in 2011's Sugarless II but it's indicated the melody's new so most probably it's a brand new self cover

TV Asahi DREAM FESTIVAL 2021 footages featuring B'z

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV15U4y1u7UA?p=1

B'z performance segment can be watched towards the last 15 mins of the clip

For them to be billed as a headliner act it's quite odd their performance set's the shortest in the clip :O

But since TV Asahi will air more footages in Jan hopefully it will be expanded

KarenPang 23rd November 2021 10:32 AM

TV Asahi will rebroadcast DREAM FESTIVAL 2021 footages in Jan 2022 and it will be more footages ie. enlarged version

https://twitter.com/tvasahi_cs/statu...67950173270018

For B'z , only these 3 songs were aired :

- Kodoku no Runaway
- ZERO
- ultra soul

I'm surprised especially B'z was the headliner act & their segment was ironically the shortest that TV Asahi aired last Sat

Oh well better than having 0 footages to begin with :@

YesAsia's description of FRIENDS III

Quote:

B'z released their first concept album FRIENDS in 1992, and then FRIENDS II in 1996. Twenty-five years later, the series returns with FRIENDS III. The album contains seven songs that convey winter emotions with a dramatic variety of sounds. Matsumoto's mellow and warm guitar and Inaba's lyrics skilfully tell the story and feelings of a protagonist who is wavering in his everyday life.

B'z pens theme song for Yokohama Ryusei's starring film 'Usogui'

Quote:

B'z new song "Liv" will be used as the theme song for Yokohama Ryusei's starring film 'Usogui.'

Due out in theaters on February 11, 'Usogui' is a film adaptation of Sako Toshio's manga of the same title. Yokohama plays Madarame Baku, a genius gambler who goes head-to-head with top cheaters at Kakerou, an illegal club that controls Japan's political and business worlds. It's directed by Nakata Hideo. Besides Yokohama, it will star Sano Hayato (M!LK), Shiraishi Mai, Hongo Kanata, Morisaki Win, Sakurai Kaito, Kimura Ryo, Tsurumi Shingo, Murakami Hiroaki, and Miura Shohei.

"Liv" is described as a thrilling number that was written just for the upcoming film. You can listen to a clip of the song in the movie's trailer below.

Oh wow , that's awesome & U2's Bono is the 1 that also voiced Clay and let alone it was also Bono's 1st voice dubbing role too

Not only that , Koshi will also sing the Japanese version of U2's I I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For in Sing 2 as well

The parallel similarities between Koshi & Bono in voicing an animated character for the 1st time , let alone doing the singing in the movie too , it's quite unreal

The parallel similarities between Koshi & Bono in this context is quite unreal

- voicing an animated character for the 1st time & let alone doing the singing in the movie too
- both never done any form of voice acting/dubbing until now
- both legendary rock stars

And the list probably goes on x)

It's been announced that Matsumoto Takahiro of B'z has received the Medal with Dark Blue Ribbon.

This medal is awarded to individuals who have made generous financial contributions to the well-being of the public. Matsumoto received the award after donating private property to Toyonaka City, Osaka, where he is an honorary citizen.

I actually thought by now any new album release related news would have been released since B'z LIVE-GYM 2022 - B'z LIVE-GYM 2022 -Highway X- will begin on 21st May

Would be a bit odd if it's released in the midst of the tour but it's all up to Being I guess :c

Still feel it's a bit odd they chose to release their new album towards almost the end of B'z LIVE-GYM 2022 -Highway X- as the tour will conclude on 14th Aug O_o

Oh well better late than never

And wow I didn't know cassette tapes still exist LOL

Gave Highway X a quick listen today

I think this album on 1st listen is much more easier for me to get into unlike NEW LOVE

So far the album track that I really like immediately when I 1st heard it is Hard Rain Love , it's just wow . It reminded me of WOLF

Also it's a surprise the version of UNITE that's in Highway X there's some slight musical difference to , unlike what was originally released digitally last Oct

I still feel that B'z should have included Kimi to Nara in Highway X but it probably be the odd 1 in the album , that's just me though

KarenPang 16th August 2022 05:33 AM

Highway X sold about 156K copies in the 1st week of release

With this , B'z now has a total of 31 albums (including compilation albums) that attained #1 on Oricon

Also I don't know if it's a Japan thing but seems like the celebrities and/or public figures don't disclose if they're vaccinated/boosted from COVID-19 unlike here :s

Anyway I watched finished the partial live footages of B'z LIVE-GYM 2022 -Highway X- earlier on & as expected it was great

And no surprises the live take of Hard Rain Love is just :luv2
