B'z NEW BEST ALBUM "THE
BEST PLEASURE II" (30/11/05)
I'm sure a lot of fans are happy with this news. Personally,
I feel that Pleasure II or something along the line should come
our way three years later. When Pleasure/Treasure came out, it was
such a celebration of a decade of B'z and then, best albums were
such rare thing for the band. I think that maybe another 3 years
wait to round it up to the 2nd decade would have made the celebration
even more worth-while. However, we all know that B'z is not a band
that cranks out one best album after every few years. Plus a B'z
best-album is still one of the best deals around. Just look at all
these #1 singles below and try to complain about them songs. If
you didn't buy these singles last time, here's finally the chance
to do so!
As a big you-can-not-refuse-me bait, the album will include a "B'z/iTunes
Custom Card" that gives you a password to go to B'z official
website and download designated live performance from numerous livegyms.

CONGRATULATION, B'z!! "THE
CIRCLE" DEBUT AT #1 ON ORICON CHART ^0^
Ever since 1990 with "RISKY", all B'z albums have debut
at #1 on Oricon, whether they are original albums, mini albums, best albums,
etc, without exception. If you're counting, that's approximately 18 albums,
minus the solo works =p
The singles line-up makes an even more staggering record: "Ai no
Bakudan" released just last March was B'z 34th consecutive single
that debut at #1 on Oricon. Will they make it to #50? Well, one wonders!
Koshi himself once said in an interview, "Feels like 30 is enough,
maybe (laugh). It's about time to stop (laugh)". (Read more)

KOSHI'S 3RD ALBUM "PEACE
OF MIND" TO BE RELEASED! (22/09/04)
It's been almost 2 years since the release of "SHIAN" and
now he's back with a new album! YAY! This time, contrary to the Inaba
tradition, two tracks from the previous hit single "Wonderland"
will be included. But fret not, those are marvellous songs to begin with.
Plus there are 12 brand new songs!!! So yappari, konkai mo otanoshimiiiiii
desu!!!!! ^0^
COMMENT FROM YESASIA.COM:
The third album from Inaba Koshi, the vocalist of B'z. The first single
off the album, "Wonderland", shot to Number 1 on the Oricon ranking, Japan's
equivalent of Billboard. Inaba Koshi enlisted acclaimed musicians to work
in his backup band: members include Greg Upchurch (Puddle of Mudd's drummer),
Stevie Salas (Guitar), Tokunaga Akihito (bass) and Ohga Yoshinobu (Guitar).
Recorded in Tokyo, Osaka, Los Angeles and New York, with Inaba playing
instruments on various tracks, this is going to be an exciting new album
from Koshi! This limited edition comes with a DVD that includes concert
footage of the one song we performed at "Rock Odyssey 2004
