From YesAsia_Jpop @ Twitter :

This week's Oricon no.1 single: The latest single from B'z is their 44th consecutive no.1 http://bit.ly/BzSayo

omg their 44th straight #1 to date @_@

but not really surprised as Sayonara Kizu Darake no Hibi yo is downright brillant

[YuriChan]

^Yep! Since Taiyou no Komachi Angel! Ahh!! B'z never fails to amaze me!

[KarenPang]

B’z tops Oricon chart 44 times in a row!

“Sayonara, kizu-darake no hibi yo“, the 48th single from popular rock band B’z, sold 130,000 copies in its first week. It’s the first single from B’z in almost a year and a half, and it’s already gained great success by becoming the #1 hit on Oricon’s weekly single ranking for the week of April 25th.

This means that B’z has achieved 44 chart-topping singles in a row, beginning with “Taiyou no Komachi Angel“ in June 1990. The band has now broken three major single-related records in Oricon history: “Most number-one singles“, “Most consecutive number-one singles“, and “Most singles sold“.

“Sayonara, kizu-darake no hibi yo” was used as the theme song for “Pepsi Nex” commercials, which stars vocalist Inaba Koshi and guitarist Matsumoto Tak. The song was originally scheduled for a March 3oth release, but was inevitably delayed due to the earthquake and tsunami disaster.

Meanwhile, B’z other single, “Don’t Wanna Lie” was picked up to be the theme song for the “Detective Conan” movie and TV series, and will go on sale June 1st.

B’z Oricon Records:

Most number-one singles: 44 singles (Second place: Hamasaki Ayumi with 37)
Most consecutive number-one singles: 44 singles (Second place: KinKi Kids with 30)

[YuriChan]

^Sweet! 8D The boys are selling better than I expected. But I think "Don't Wanna Lie" will outsell this one. Just sayin'.

[YuriChan]

LOL I love this poll!

Which Japanese Artists Would Make Good Teachers?

1. Yusuke
2. Koshi Inaba (B’z)
3. Masaharu Fukuyama
4. Ryuta Yamamura (flumpool)
5. YUI

I wouldn't mind having Inaba-san as my math teacher!!

[KarenPang]

OMG that's totally random

I recongised all 5 artistes on there & the fact that Yusuke is #1 , that's just maximum

but at the end of the day , the poll's so random . What can Koshi teach ? lyrics writing ?

[YuriChan]

^He graduated with a degree for math. He wanted to be a math teacher and I just read that he was a tutor before become the rock star he is today.

[YuriChan]

WOOHOO!!! <3 *sniff* I'm so proud of them.

[YuriChan]

"Don't Wanna Lie" is the new Conan opening! You can hear most of the song and it sounds beautiful!

[KarenPang]

The preview for Don't Wanna Lie sounds great & very orchestra driven ! It's definitely much more happier than Sayonara Kizu Darake no Hibi yo

but omg I can't help but realised that the Don't Wanna Lie PV reminded me of KAT-TUN's Yorokobi no Uta & Suga Shikao's Hajimari no Hi PVs D: D: D:

[YuriChan]

^For some odd reason, I get a Negai & somewhat Ami Suzuki's Free Free feeling! lol

[YuriChan]

In other news, the name of their North American tour is "B'z LIVE-GYM -long time no see-"! It makes perfect sense, since it's been 7 years since the last time they performed in the States! These are their venues.


I just hope and pray that I'm able to go to one of these showing!!!

[KarenPang]

isn't their US tour name B'z LIVE-GYM -long time no see-! a combination of their past album & song titles ?

I recongised long time no see since it was in MAGIC haha D:

[YuriChan]

^Techinally, it's a North American tour (since it goes into Canada). Their tours are called LIVE-GYMs, just like Ayu's ARENA TOURs. You know what I mean?

[KarenPang]

Sayonara Kizu Darake no Hibi yo is certified Gold for shipment of 100K copies
