didn't Koshi take a few puffs in True Meaning? I may just be remembering it wrong...but yes, Tak smoked like a chimney! it's strange to imagine young Miami Vice Koshi smoking, it seems more fitting to his newer image. but I am glad he quit, gotta keep that voice in top condition for the yelpz!

ABR seems to be selling real real hot ne!! yeah!!
so, 178 has stopped smoking for 10+ years...but he must be a heavy smoker prior to quitting coz i notice there's a black 'dot' on his tooth (lower row) in his 'touch' pv :p but the rest are very clean hahahaha

Random BBS news and gossips:
1. On Nov 30, just four days after release, ABR reached the sales of top-three for this year's dvd selling.
2. This year's radio stations' poll on your fave X-mas song is oh well, kekeke... Itsuka~ snabs the #1.
3. To protect his voice, even in the middle of very hot summer, Kosh doesn't use aircon in the room or even in the car. This was confirmed by tour staffs. He stopped smoking after B'z livegym started in 1989. Tak still smokes, but not anywhere near Kosh 0.o (that's not what I saw in True Meaning~)
4. B'z will perform on: Music Station Super Special (Dec 27), TV Asahi's The Greatest Songs (Jan 1)
5. TV Sky Perfect coverage "All About The Artist - B'z Special 2002" (Dec 17), America Live broadcast (Dec 21)
!!! I hope lots of ppl record that one!
M-chan, I'm not sure at all nee. It says something about "searching for hidden images of previous pvs inside the store"... This will start from 5pm on Dec 7 in 4000 cd shops nation wide.You're right. There'll also be some santa clause with cameras in some major cd shops. . Fans can give their hot messages to B'z becoz they will definitely get to both Tak and Kosh. Hmm, they do some major campaign in promoting the best ballad indeed. Good.
Whoah, I was just kidding about the teddys wearing shades! Hahaha... they really do nee! I think they iz kawaiiii.
Oh, I did some longazz ranting about ABR in Net Party. Those of you who are interested and not afraid of *spoilers*, by all means, check out the awesome rantings NP-ers did.

Keen-chan,
When you have time, the official site updated again.
I think a lot of cd shops in Japan are going to have a special video camera where fans can record messages to B'z directly. Um, I think. ^^;
And also a lot of stores will be playing some kind of special B'z countdown video...
Anyone want to verify this?
Irene I saw the Xmas trees and bears! Looks much cooler than I thought actually! ^^

Dino, please make an account with www.streamloader.com It's free and it works with any audio/video files (although lately they make things difficult for free users). B'z Net Party has some rare mp3s like Koshi's TRAMP and I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa. And yes, we have Tak's Don't Ask Me, Babeee. I personally like it much more than his monster's singingz in The Changing. Kosh did some great backing vocal indeed.
Please read the instruction clearly here

Lol, B2, I always thought it was "oh baby we're gonna feel" too! I think it's our lack of knowledge of ingirisu desu ne. Ah, it's not in Knockin'? Ok, wakarimashita.
I guess my copy of "ABR" will not arrive anytime soon. No shipping conformation e-mail yet from CDJapan T.T Liv and other HK fans who ordered 10 copies altogether from local stores ages ago also haven't got theirs. I guess it's really a all sold out in Japan.

well, Keen has it listed as being from Knockin T Around, but that's not entirely correct. but, the song The Changing, which is on that album, is based on Dont ask me, baby. I'm guessing Tak wrote it around the time of the BUZZ tour since they show a clip of him performing it on the dvd. so it's probably just and unreleased demo which happens to include the Koshman doing some excellent harmony in the chorus. oh so excellent...

I found the Japanese lyrics to Tak's Don't Ask Me, Baby. Since I've always loved this song so much, I did the translation and now the lyrics book has a new Tak's section. His writing style is simple and direct while Kosh tends to use long and pretty words. Not bad at all nee! But Don't Ask~ makes me think that he's a heartless piece of azz though, keke.

Japanese fans posted about how Beautiful Reel dvd and videos sold out everywhere since yesterday's afternoon and the stores have long waiting list. Sasuga B'z! This will probably break Yokohama's record ^0^
More NHK interview (not word by word)
Q: Did you ever think about being a vocalist?
K: Not really. The first time somebody asked me to sing was not becoz I was good, but more like becoz I was there! That was my friend who was really good with guitar.
q: Did anyone say that you're good?
K: At that time? No, they all said I have high key. So I was more aware that I could sing high key then.
q: what kind of profession do you describe your work?
K: kashu (singer)... becoz I don't think I'm an artist or musician.
q: Eee~...
About Famiresu Gosen 3-ji
q: This title is something that never appeared in B'z!
K: (lol) really nee... maybe B'z can use it too. They are probably not called famiresu anymore, more like um, what is it... diner! (lol)
q: (lol) so does it have to be famiresu and not a bar?
K: in the bar you usually get drunk, but in famiresu, they open 24-hr, your mind is still clear therefore you get to think about so many things (lol)

oh, M has been telling me about the tree forever, but I hvn't had time to see the official site. It says on the illumination (?) open day B'z X-mas Trees will be displayed in Tokyo Dome City. It will be the warmest message from B'z to fans.
Venue: Tokyo Dome City (fountain) inside the Hotel
Opening time: Dec 1, 4pm to Dec 31
Size: 3 metres tall
Quantity: 12 trees
There'll also be 6 pairs of 1.6m teddy bears along with the trees. Kekeke, I guess the teddy bears will wear sunglasses too, like the latest Santa pic I saw :p

so it looks like you've got a good collection! how did you get them?
well, if you ever want more, takboss gave me some great sites. www.jamall.com is where you order the books. they are about standard price, and S&H is amazingly low. all you need is the ISBN number, and a good list is here - http://www.iris.dti.ne.jp/~tsuno/bz.html
I've also found ISBNs for other books through Amazon japan. I'll be getting the Green dvd in several days...I saw some Gameshark reviews that say it does indeed support all regions. so it looks like I'm the guinea pig.

I have the official bandscore---the ones you find on b'z website. Survive, Treasure, Mixture. Also, Breakthrough bandscore w/ Bad Communication which is a lot older one. And of course various mags with scores on them. So, what's the secret B2?
Has anybody viewed the Green DVD yet? And if there's anyone out there who tried PS2 w/ GS combo, let's hear the results...

sure those songs are romantic, and the instrumentation definitely adds to it. but there's still old Kosh crooning away. Sasanqua is quite a romantic instrumental, though.

tomorrow is the release of "A Beautiful Reel" >.< According to Being Co. Taiwan pahmplet ad (read about this at Maggie's bbs), the contents of the dvd:
disc 1 ~ 2 hrs of livegym Green from Showcase to -70000 ppl scale arena plus backstage shots...
disc 2 ~ bits of livegym Cali Roll with photo gallery etc
Hm, true, I agree with you B2! May, Ring, You Pray~, GOLD all the 'slow' ones are either solemn or dark. The romance does come from Kosh's passionate voice and lyrics. But have your pick from the best ballad. Snow, Kienai Niji, Itsuka~, are they not considered romantic?
Is it just me or has this board been acting up?

he does sound quite Koshi in Bokura! his yelps are almost spot-on and the vibrato is quite accurate. Blue Sunshine is alright, but not as kosh-like as Bokura. Nao should find this guy and get some lessons.
I'd never imagine Koshi saying Tak writes more romantic music! cause I always thought Koshi's solo stuff just exudes some passion and such. maybe he means Tak is much more invloved in writing, like he does it so much more than Koshi so he is "romantically" involved in songwriting. or not. but that's not to say Tak doesn't do some romantic songs. his Hana album!

Random infos from Koshi's Shian radio interviews~
Fan's letter: 178-3, which one is harder for you, eating Nato or going on TV program?
K: Nato...hmm, I do eat it lately. It's not something that I wouldn't eat no matter what. But I just can't do it continously.
Q: What food you hate most now?
K: NATO! (lol)... I don't know why you all have impression that we hate going on TV so much.
K: I used to eat anything that has eggs in it. ANYTHING with eggs is good! I also eat bananas! A LOT!
Q: Do u have notes on just random hint words for your lyrics?
K: yes... even though it's not meant to be notes, just like when I wrote Ultra Soul, there're so many katakana of ultra in the pages, many many katakana.
K: When I wrote Overture, i had this word floating in my mind and I got the phrase "it's over", love it.
Q: Any songs you wrote while riding on your bike?
K: Some, most recent is Anata Wo Yobu Koe Wa~...
(the lyrics said it all ^0^ neeee)
Q: What's the biggest difference between Matsumoto-san and Inaba-san's songs?
