^lol Yep! Cuz Tak's the man! XDD

[YuriChan]

^Not EEVEN gonna comment on the English version of ultra soul!! >.< It's better in Japanese. Perhaps, if we spam B'z on twitter, the self-cover of HEAT might happen! Ehh... Shouldn't that be "LIVE-GYM 2012 -Into Free- EXTRA"? o_o;;; (Although, that's not your fault.)

[ILoveGeniuses]

^i dont like any of the first 5 and the one in 5th place i've never heard of. Sad to see Namie that far down.
Also I honestly expected to see Hikki higher, but maybe due to the fact she hasn't released anything in awhile.
As for B'z it's awesome to see them on here. Just I expected them even higher on that chart.

[YuriChan]

Congrats to B'z! Although, I kind of wish that YUI and Porno Graffitti were a little higher. :\

[ILoveGeniuses]

Nothing against any of them. It's cool he got on the list. However, I just don't think Asian males (any at all) look good in tuxedo type of suits to be perfectly honest.

[YuriChan]

So B'z updated their fan club... According to this B'z facebook group, this is going to be the following releases for live releases!

•Jan 30: DVD＆Blu-ray 「B’z LIVE-GYM 2008 -ACTION-」
•Feb 27: DVD 「B’z LIVE-GYM 2005 -CIRCLE OF ROCK-」
Mar 27: DVD 「B’z LIVE-GYM 2001 -ELEVEN-」

Followed by a rumored (I'm not sure if it's been confirmed yet, but I read that they'll announce something on November 24th) single release titled "BEAT GOES ON", a future album release (probably in 2013), and a tour (the title is rumored to be LIVE-GYM 2013 “BEAT THE 19th ROCK SHOW”). WOW!! The boys have been busy, haven't they?

[KarenPang]

the more B'z releases the merrier as what you might say xD

2013 is going to be quite a year for them , hopefully they will not stop releasing stuff

In addition , as always , their #1 fanboy listened to Ultra Soul as BGM when he went for a run this morning ahahaha x)

[YuriChan]

^Well, it's going to be their 25th anniversary, after all!

[ILoveGeniuses]

^I thought these concerts were already released.....

Right now I'm trying to collect as many of the Blurays as possible. I wish the damn things weren't so insanely expensive. -_-

[YuriChan]

^They were not released before this year! This is the first time that ELEVEN and CIRCLE OF ROCK are released as a whole, as well as ACTION LIVE-GYM being released for the first time! 2013 is going to be a REALLY busy year for B'z!!

[ILoveGeniuses]

^Sucks not all of them are coming out on bluray.

[YuriChan]

^Nope... Just ACTION. I wonder why they're not releasing the other two in Blu-ray format? O.o;

[LydenLeaf]

Hello ~ I'll be posting this information as it hasn't been shared on here yet.

B'z to perform on Music Station SUPER LIVE 2012

For the first time in 5 years, B'z is going to perform on a Music Station SUPER LIVE. The Music Station SUPER LIVE is set to be broadcasted on December 21st, 2012 from 7PM to 11:10PM. It is still unclear which song(s) the band is going to perform on television, but one might think that this is a perfect occasion for a rendition of "Itsuka no Merry Christmas"?! Or perhaps B'z is going to perform an entirely new song? What do you think?

The last time B'z has appeared on a broadcast of a SUPER LIVE was in 2007, when they performed their then latest single SUPER LOVE SONG. But this isn't exactly the last time B'z has appeared on television. The band was performing on a Music Station special last year on April 1 to show their support for the earthquake victims. They performed Brotherhood and Sayonara Kizu Darake no Hibi yo.

---------------------
I have my calendar marked for this! Ah, I wonder which song(s) they'll be performing. I personally would love to hear Home or Brotherhood (again). I can't get enough of those two live. Though I'm also hoping for something new.

Actually, anything will do since I'm already happy with the fact they'll be giving another performance before the year ends.

[YuriChan]

^:O OMG! That's amazing!! Maybe they'll perform GO FOR IT BABY -Kioku no Sanmyaku- plus Itsuka no Merry Christmas!

Maybe they will ~ I love both songs and I think they will be perfect for the occasion. I think it would be nostalgic if they performed maybe something from their very first album as a tribute/reflection to years that gone by. B'z has been around for 20+ years, haven't they? I just think 2012 has been a really good year for them especially in terms of their successful tour in the USA and of course, the release of their English album (although there was a mix of criticisms and praises received).

I can already imagine how they will be performing onstage on December 21 : the opening drum sequence..Inaba making sweet love to the guitar..Takky doing his thing..the audience cheering them on.. -nods- Mhmm.
