Right now my scanner is somewhere else and I have absolutely have no idea how to do powertab. After examining the CDTV performance of DEEP KISS closely and really listening repeatedly, I think the book is right, but the G note is picked with the C note.(use upstroke). NEwayz my SL a/c name is lovephantom.
Thanks B2.
Love that song, Yoruyo akenaide...Hell, every song they put out can be a single.
Even love or money,

I love those two monsters! Brotherhood and Eleven! Absolute faves are SKIN, Ikasete Okure and the soothing Yume No Youna Hibi. Tak superb longazz solo in Nagareyuku Hibi. As for Eleven, I wasn't crazy about it at first but listening to Brotherhood prepared me for heavier stuffs in Eleven. I was amazed with Kirameku Hito. Didn't think that Kosh could do such angreis rap. Yeah and I also didn't see Utsukushiki Sekai coming. It was a shock. Except of course there was SNOW before.
I don't know about everyone else, but I listen to Yoruyo Akenaide and Idomeyo even more than Atsukyaa. Those two are understated songs that get better with every listen. Maybe something about the beat +__+
Whoah, "P" song, lol... I can't think of any.

alrighty, the files are on their way to SL as I type this. i may not get them all uploaded tonight cause I gotta get to bed soon. as for Deep Kiss...wow, a whole step down? new record for a B'z song! well I've figured it out for standard tuning, with the first riff (the VERY first guitar part, right?) starting in F then to G. i think i'm picking up that sharped note in there. i'd say your ears are matching more of what I hear rather than the book. would scanning it or powertabbing it help at all to figure it out?
yes, fans must have been shocked when they heard how heavy Eleven was! same goes for Brotherhood. I think about that a lot, what it must have been like to be used to B'z lighter songs, then comes this monster of a hard rock album, Brotherhood. not that any ordinary fangril would notice, but that album has some of Tak's very best playing. Tak fans must have been in awe. and after that, they just got HEAVIER! suddenly fangrils doing the Koi-Gokoro dance start headbanging to Kobushi wo Nigire! and how about those amazingly atmospheric and orchestrated songs? I think Ring and Raging River are just some of their most unique and brilliant songs. and I'm glad they didn't decide to get heavier yet and make things too...well, simplistic. so I guess I was caught off-guard by Green's lightness too, but now of course I love it as well. many surprises from this band, indeed! that's one thing I REALLY admire about them, always doing something different, not sticking to what's popular, and always making great songs. ok, so that's more than one thing!

B2, do you have a streamload account? if you can upload it to streamload, it would be great. I signed up for 4.95 1 month plan to download all the B'z net party videos and will discontinue before it goes to another cycle so...
I have another question for you...Have you tried to copy the very first riff in DEEP KISS? It's tuned down a whole step. The Official scorebook has C-A5(chord)-C#slide to D-A5-Cslide to C#-A5. But to ears it sounds like G-A5-G-A5-Cslide to C#-A5. It just absolutely bothers me...let me know what you think.
Yes, I love Green album but it was actually quite a shock when I first heard it since ELEVEN was such a hardcore album. I thought Ultra and Atsuki were going to be lightest and most poppy songs. Then again, ELEVEN was quiet shocking too so...These guys still got many tricks left in their bag I think....

vc178, I'm sorry but the "shower" clip is actually just a vicious fanboy's joke on innocent fangril's heart. I wish it's true though, hehehe... There were certain Koshi in the shower photos, hmm lemme search.
Dino!! lol, you and Rockman will hit it off nice. He'd better post here too very soon in the future, hear that Rockman? =p
That song you're talking about is new and Japanese bbs said it's called "New Message". It's quickly becoming a favorite of mine. B'z better hurry up and release LOGIC and this one!
You know, in some interviews, they mentioned that "Surfin' 3000GTR" was finished even b4 "Eleven". So I think now B'z must have accumulated at least 40 superb new songs, all just sitting in the corner, waiting to be released, grrr... And to think they *did* record all past livegyms for references... but we only get 7 videos in 14 yrs... lol
About the bootleg, I do have it. A *hug-able* B'z fan sent it to me long time ago in CD form. Becoz u see, my problem is I'm still on dial-up. Anyway, free streamload user can't transfer/dwnl more than 10 MB. How much have you got already? I remember there are 7 separate files. I'm sorry I can't be much help but maybe someone else can. You can find us in Yahoo Messenger. My ID is keen_on_all. B'z stuffs are being shared like crazy all the time.
But keep trying to dwnl the bootleg. It's awesome stuff! All hidden footage of Livegym 9th Blues, Spirit Loose, Fireball, Survive, kyaaaaaaa!!!

You will have to watch ABR 178 times continuosly without stopping and it will unlock the code. just kidding.
I finally got my ABR and I like it better than all the other ones. Does anybody know what that song is that's playing in the background on disc2 when they are showing the stage buildup? That song sounds awesome but what doesn't that was done by B'z..
San Diego footage was brief but it was a great show.
Mat-chan makes it sound so full with just one guitar that it feels like there's another rhythm player on the stage....Koshi was at top of his game too. Actually, you were able to hear them doing the rehearsal before the show if you were close enough to the door.... It just makes you appreciate them more for their attitude towards their fans, because even though they are arena size rock stars but humble enough to play in such a tiny club and doing full rehearsal before the show. That stage actually looks bigger on screen but was even smaller!
I need to ask a favor, Keen
do you have b'z official bootleg clip? it's been over 2 weeks now but still not complete as i'm trying to download thru winmx. if you can upload to streamload I would appreciate it. (also LOGIC mp3 if you have it @.*)
....I also heard you can unlock the hidden feature of Tak giving private lesson on how to play all b'z songs....

I don't know what I did to deserve this... but Tokko gave me a surprise by sending me the best ballad (along with B'z sticker). I feel so... so... touch (T.T) Thank you so much Tokko!
The booklet is such a work of art... I feel like I was transfered back to childhood time with that fairy-tale hardcover booklet. It's so pretties, sigh...
Btw, the best ballad sold 1,050,125 copies in the 1st week, of course #1 in Oricon. B'z is the first male artist/band this year who debut #1 and sold more than 1 million. First two females were Ayumi and Hikki. Omedetou gozaimasu, B'z!!!

Hi, Dragonkiri! Haha, I guess I did leave messages to all B'z fans who live in USA. Didn't want them to miss the live. Oh well, there'll be other chance =p Wow, thanks for such kind compliments! About Naite~, another fan requested this one too long time ago. I've got the lyrics but problem is I don't even know what the title means -_-;; lol, so much for a good translator ne... But lemme see what I can do.
Please do stick around as I will *try* to do a lot of updates during the holiday (being broke and no exotic destination to go) so I'll sedate myself with many many scary hours of ABR *swooon*

Hello Keen,
I remember you left a message for me in my journal a few months ago about the B'z concerts in LA (I couldn't go because of school! Wahhh!) and I just realized I kept forgetting to thank you for saying hi. Also wanted to tell you that I love your site for all the nice images and information, and especially the lyric translations. :) It is quite literally one of the sites I visit the most. :)
And, I have a request to make: Could you translate Naite Naite Nakiyandara please? I love that song but I have a horrible grasp on Japanese and I think you are a wonderful translator. :)
Thanks so much,

Irene, "omae" is a cruder vers of "you", only used when you're very close friends and usually only guys use it. I read in some articles that reviews Kosh's lyrics (this was long time ago) that "ore" (me) "omae" (you) never appeared in B'z songs, only the more polite "boku" and "kimi". Maybe Kosh read it becoz next, he came up with lyrics like "Makkana Silk" kekek... bulls**t, bulls**t!
Oh, pls watch out for Dec edition of Music Freak. This time B'z appear on the cover (about time!). Inside lots of info on ballads, 6 pages pf B'z santa.
Let's play a game. Everytime you post, you must end the message with one B'z song with a promise that you DON'T peek at the alphabetical lyrics book or discography! For example, if someone starts with "Ultra Soul" then the next person can post "Liar! Liar!" (see how Ultra Soul ends with "L" and Liar! Liar begins with "L". We can ignore "the".
Love Phantom... Next person starts with "M" please.

This is some true B'z stories found by Takboss and M. I thought they were super interesting =p
Once upon a time, it was Tak's birthday. Kosh gave him a guitar "Martin Style-17" that has a vintage of more than 100 yrs. On it, he left a note that says, "You have to play this for more than 1 day and 3 hrs continously".
For Kosh's birthday, Tak once gave him a Ferrari horse paper weight. Kosh's comment, "That thing is sooo heavy!" Actually both of them went to Italy for photo shoot and Tak went to watch F1 live where he bought the gift. So instead of carrying it back to Japan himself, he gave it to Kosh then and there, keke... Smart boss!
One day Tak and a Kuni-san (a promoter staff) went out for dinner in some resto. Tak forgot a certain thing in the car and went to retrieve it. Left alone in the resto, Kuni's mobile rang so he went outside to answer it. The caller and him talked about going to drink at other place. So Kuni called Tak from there and they agreed to meet in the new place. Kuni didn't return to the resto and neither did Tak! Both thought that the other has paid! But anyway, when Tak found out later, he went back to pay.
What names do they call each other (new input)
Tak (to Koshi): Ko-chan/ Omae/ Inabaaa
Koshi (to Tak): Aniki/ Leader/ Takahiro

well well, B'z will perform Itsuka~ on TV Japan on Dec 18. 1,300,000 viewers picked a handful of 'best artists' in their opinion, so B'z got picked.
And looks like they were on CDTV recently. Some fans talked about clips with Kosh walking his dog. Just we wait for some ppl to upload to winmx then.
Ooh, I missed one zero for the red jacket ones =p it's 100,000 copies of this limited edition. And I may be wrong but I heard that there's new arrangement of Itsuka as a bonus track following Snow, so altogether 9 min long of Snow.

ABR sold 130,000 copies since release 2 weeks ago (just the dvd) and it's #1 on every dvd chart.
I got this news below from B'z Dome (there're some pics too). M-chan, about the video, now I *get* the meaning. It's B'z images from previous videos cut into 5 minutes length for a new Itsuka~ PV. This has never been released before, and like the B'z we know, it will never be released ever. Yamano in Ginza, Tokyo, one of the 4000 store that plays this video, was completely swamped out with fans, all 2000 of them gathering the same time in the rain. The whole shopping complex and traffic area got very crowded too. It was a big mess. This particular store was gonna play it for 15 minutes starting from 5pm on 200" screen. But somehow they changed to a 100" one and played it until the store closed at 8pm. According to reporters, the sound of fangrils sighing "ooh, ahhh" could be heard everywhere within the store when Tak and Kosh's images flashed on the screen =p

As for the Best Ballad, there'll be a limited edition of red jacket version, only 10,000 copies. Sigh, that would look great for X-mas indeed. I imagine some fans lining up before dawn on Dec 11 to buy the red one, or maybe both.
