18. RUN |
This concert was broadcasted live from Osaka in Sept '06. B'z performed
songs from "MONSTER" and full-English songs like "Real
Thing Shakes", "Brighter Days" and even "HOME"(!)
DVD "Monster Garage" was released in Dec '06, so I certainly
didn't expect this one 14 months later. But even though the setlists are
similar, "Live in Namba" and "Monster Garage" is really
different. Namba Hatch is an intimate settings of up to 1000 people only,
with no fancy gimmicks like in stadium, B'z boasts just pure skills, energy
performing straight hard-rock and amazing connection with the audience.

RECORD OF "40TH CONSECUTIVE
SINGLE DEBUTING #1 AT ORICON CHART" FOR B'z!!
With the release of "Super Love Song" on 3rd of October 2007,
B'z officially reached world record of the most consecutive single that
debuted at #1 in Oricon chart. It is the longest number one single streak
in Japan. However if you check Guiness Book World of Record, only Kinki
Kids are featured in there because their 26 consecutive #1 one singles
started at their very first one. Unfortunately B'z did not start debuting
at no.1 until after 1990 with their 5th single "Taiyou no Komachi
Angel". But it doesn't mean that we shouldn't be happy!! Hurray for
B'z!! ^__^ |

tour B'z Live-gym "Pleasure 2008" with 6 concert dates. I'm
surprised to see neither Yokohama Dome or Nagisa-en are included but a
change of venue for the next blockbuster concert DVD is definitely nice!
^__^ Because for sure, if anything, they MUST release this one, right?
It is the 20th anniversary concert afterall! Anyway, looks like livegym
Pleasure series make a come-back! Good to see!! Everything is TANOSHIMII

sound really saucy but that's nothing new with Inaba-sensei's work. Yappari

Not only are they Japan's biggest-selling artists by far, but B'z are
huge even by world standards. Sales of over 75 million albums and singles

the right to become the first Asian artists to be inducted on the Hollywood

Love Song" on October 3. The duo, vocalist Inaba Koshi and guitarist
Matsumoto Takahiro, plan to take part in the induction ceremony on November

Ikutarou, founder of instrument maker Roland, and Korg founder Kato
Tsutomu.
Established in 1985, the Hollywood

from Rock 'n Roll's greatest musical performers and innovators, who
have contributed the most to forge the integrity and promote the growth
of Rock 'n Roll as an art form. Inductees are chosen through secret
ballot by those surviving among the existing 175 honorees, who include
Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Eric Clapton and Van Halen.
B'z nomination had some help from inductee and friend Steve Vai, with
whom they have performed. The Rock Walk is located on Sunset Boulevard,
in the outer lobby of Hollywood's Guitar Center.
News from Tokyo
Graph :
Sankei Sports reports that rock ban B'z is being inducted into Hollywood's
Rock Walk. Although two Japanese people have been inducted before

Kato), B'z will be the first musicians from Asia to receive the honour.
The band was recommended for induction by rocker Steve Vai, with whom
they collaborated for the song "Asian Sky" on Vai's 1999 album
"The Ultra Zone".
B'z will attend the induction ceremony in Hollywood on November 19,

2. 2nd beat of the new single titled "Lonely Stars" is
theme song for animated movie "Hokuto no Ken". The official
website (here)
has a short clip of the song, and the next page (here)
has the instrumental/guitar version. Nice one!!

song of PS2, PSP game called "Burnout Dominator". Another good
