B'z 7TH CONCERT DVD "MONSTER'S GARAGE" TO BE RELEASED ON DECEMBER 20!! (20/12/06)
Well well, just after I asked that question whether a new DVD is due or not, here comes the good news. OH YEAH!! 3 years after the release of "Typhoon No.15" (yeah that amazing dvd), and after skipping both Livegym "Big Machine" and "Circle of Rock" (no, they are not on dvd), Tak and Koshi finally give in and bestow upon B'z fans the Livegym "Monster's Garage". It's about time, really. I'm sure if they waited any longer, this one will pass by us too. Judging from the mind-blowing bits I saw of the previous livegyms which were again never officially released ("Eleven" or "Survive"), I will once more, ask the same question I've asked since I became a B'z fan 5 years ago. Why don't B'z release a concert video every year? They have seriously amazingly good material out of the livegyms.
Oh well, in conclusion, a B'z concert DVD is without a single doubt, ALWAYS A GOOD THING. So do not hover around, order it right now!!

 B'z LIVEGYM '06 "MONSTER'S GARAGE" BROADCASTED ONLINE BY NETWORKLIVE.JP (01/09/06)
Performing songs from latest album "MONSTER" and some full-English songs like "Real Thing Shakes", "Brighter Days" and even an English-version of "HOME"(!), B'z played to a packed audience in an intimate live-house setting in Osaka's Namba Hatch on September 1 this year. There're no fancy gimmicks like in stadium or dome, just pure skills, energy and straight hard-rock.
Wow, can we International fans hope for some concert DVD soon?

 B'z 15TH ALBUM "MONSTER" TO BE RELEASED ON JUNE 28!! (28/06/2006)
If Tak and Koshi were seeking attention, their release speed is definitely a good way to go. Recently more and more international J-pop/rock fans begin to learn about the existance of B'z. Well, hopefully these new fans don't stop at current releases and would actually dig back into 17-18 years of amazing music... The new album "MONSTER" will include 4 singles and 1 B-side song. Including 5 songs from singles in 1 album was, in the past, unheard of from B'z... Well, let's hope this marketing strategy will be just a momentary phase and they will eventually return to quality > quantity policy... However, any B'z album is of course, always something worth looking out for, and after all, it has been 14 months since "The Circle". Go to B'z official site and listen the preview of one of the songs. Needless to say, I'm gonna get it and so should you! >___<

B'z 42ND SINGLE "SPLASH" TO BE RELEASED!! (07/06/06)
Well, as you can see, this single comes in four different covers. Red, the original, is CD only, selling at ¥1050. The other three colours are CD+DVD package, selling at ¥1575; Green gets you "Ai No Bakudan", Blue gets you "PULSE", Yellow gets you "FEVER". While you might think this is a dirty trick to get B'z fans to buy more copies of the single (and I do think that), the bait here being a sneak peek to their last year's Livegym "Circle of Rock" (which is not released as DVD to date), is a very alluring one, or should I say, ones... Rightfully legendary for always giving great live shows, for "Circle of Rock" B'z employed the round stage that evolved in the middle of the stadium and that's definitely worth a look! Furthermore... B'z doing a live "FEVER"... oh yeah, I'm getting the yellow one!
TRACK LISTING:
1. SPLASH
2. MVP

B'z 41ST SINGLE "YURUGINAI MONO HITOTSU " TO BE RELEASED!! (12/04/06)
Another "Meitantei Conan" theme song, "Yuruginai~" has a dry acoustic sound to it, perhaps a bit like "Kanashiki Dreamer"... Well, at least that's what the preview let us hear so far. It might be a trick, just like what B'z did with "Atsuki Kodou no Hate". I love both "Kanashiki~" and "Atsuki~" so I'm very looking forward to this one! ^__^
