Yeah, I've heard their versions of Oh Darling! and Let It Be and there are pretty nice.
Actually, Beatles and Lez Zeppelin have influenced the band a lot, as both have stated, and one theory about the name B'z is that it is a conjunction of Beatles + Zeppelin

[YuriChan]

^Yeah, I did catch that! I always thought it was some kind of slang for "Boys"! XDD

[KarenPang]

so Heather can you give me a list of English songs that the duo has covered before ?

[YuriChan]

^Just Maroon 5's This Love and the two Beetles songs. They haven't covered many English songs. D:

[Maemi]

I'm listening to B'z The Best Ultra Pleasure...it's just that I'm not into that old rock anymore...

[YuriChan]

^If that's not your cup of tea, then I would suggest ultra soul! <33

[Ayumi27]

reviving this thread haha, is there any news from the guys apart from the tour???

[KarenPang]

^ dude I really have no clue but I want something new from the duo

haven't listen to MAGIC for a while , I should do that again

[Ayumi27]

Yeah, you should do that
And start listening to some of their 90's material!
That will ensure you'll keep liking them

BREAKERZ's guitarist SHINPEI is taking questions from fans in his blog

this's part 2 & there's a B'z related answer he gave

16.Which artist influences you?

I fell for the music of B'z. I'm even in their fanclub, I'm a big fan of them!

I respect them for their music, and also for themselves (as a person). They are great.

OK .... O_O

[YuriChan]

I have sad news... The B'z guys are going solo.
http://www.bz-vermillion.com/

(I know that because Koshi has a solo song running around on youtube! )

[KarenPang]

what ...

but is this permanent or temporary ? O_O

[YuriChan]

I think it's temporary... I also think it's the B'z way of working on new material!

[KarenPang]

Koshi's solo single Okay will be out on 23rd June

do both guys's solo materials chart/do well on Oricon ?

[YuriChan]

I'm not 100% sure on that one, to be honest. :\

[Nackar_91]

Koshi's do very well, if I seem to recall correctly. His albums have always hit no.1 and his singles are generally also top 3. His first solo album may have even been a million seller.

Tak does a bit less, but he's an instrumentalist, so that's pretty logical. But in that respect, he does pretty well for himself!

[YuriChan]

Now that I think about it... I think Koshi has more fans! Then again, in most of the lives they DID, Tak did most of the talking!

[KarenPang]

Koshi's more hotter than Tak I'm sorry to say xD

I probably should get slapped for saying that as both are already married with kids dammit
