Hello and happy new year to all the B'z nations...I finally got a chance to view the Official bootleg. Thanks B2!! I noticed Koshi has a decent collection of leggings...and funny behind the scenes of making the video of Calling... very interesting.

Oh, Keen, you definitely have to add "train kept a rollin'" perfomed w/ Aerosmith. That was just plain awesome...

This new game is a bit harder...I believe that line is from HOME?
Ok, this is one of my favorite line of all time.

this board didn't work for whole 2 days for me! Anyways, I've been revamping the online songs section. Figured that I'm gonna take off all the songs and change them into 'rare' or 'livegym' mp3s. Should be more interesting to listen to. B'z normal mp3s are not hard to find in winmx at all. But so far, I've got acoustic Hadashi (ABR), Tak's Don't Ask Me and Z'b Let It Be. Any other suggestion of good live?

ok, that line means: take one deep breath (breatheeee) Hehehe... now guess!

hope i'm not too late to response to the mss pics ^.~ well, he did looked quite weak to me...yeah, right, he's sick, isn't he! but 178 is cuteee in some of those pics especially the one whereby he ?? his lips :p~~~~~ this hair style makes him looks innocent ne...liar! liar! ^0^

M-chan, 178 is more good looking than sam hui ne! but both of them have some similarities...they've great body at their age! & they both have nice vocal ^^ i really like a few of sam hui's songs, very peaceful, very comfortable...

Ok. Because Koshi is so beautiful, he still looks ok with that hair. But judging the hair alone, I would have to say, it greatly reminds of Samuel Hui in the 1970s (for those of you who know who Sam Hui is :P).

Well, it seems Koshi is more willing to experiment than our Tak eh? :)

There's the latest Koshi's hairstyle, as photographed during the latest MSS appearance and quickly auctioned at Yahoo ^^; it's surprisingly kawaii, I must say.That length is not unusual but something is totally different. An a Tak is looking better than ever!

B'z new song for the TV Asahi sport's program 2003 has been on air since tonite and although off site hasn't confirmed, fans have spotted the title at the right corner of the CM. Guess what: "IT'S SHOW TIME!" hehehe... That really sounds familiar *i owe u one, ahshaw* *let's rockn' roll*

Q: What was most memorable from the year 2002 for you?
Tak: FIFA concert, performing with Aerosmith
Koshi: For me is going to USA for the California Roll, I learnt a lot from that experience.
Q: You're selected as 1 of 30 greatest artists, what message would you like to give to fans who chose you?
Tak: We've been around for more than 10 years or so,
really thank you for keep supporting us, next year too, yoroshiku onegaishimasu.
Koshi: Thank you very much. Next year is our 15th year, we'll try to do interesting things for you. Please keep supporting us. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.
Q: Please keep making many wonderful songs for us!

Male host: B'z shocking CD sales has reached 86 million to this day. This is a sky-figure that never before existed in Japan's Music history.
The chart shows B'z fans' age, 20-30 top the chart.

Maaaan, the Koshi stirring crowd's mood, Tak n Billy duet!! B'z really rocked the audience in ABR. Luv' it so much! B2, zannen desu, I haven't got LOGIC so far.

I think there're only 2 "E~" songs of B'z: Everlasting and Ease Come. So shall we end this and try another game? This one is slightly harder but shouldn't be a problem for any good B'z citizen :p We pick a random line of any song lyrics and guess what the title is! You're welcome to have a peek in the lyrics book section. This will probably prompt comments like *Crap, I know that line, but which one!* hurhur, see what Koshi-sensei has taught you so far!

What's this!!! Last nite, Dec 23, on Hey3x Special, Gackt sang "Itsuka~" again! This time with Amuro Namie. Apparently he really loves this song. I read that the performance was quite good, although they completely dismissed Tak's solo, lol. Hm, Ayumi 2x, Gackt 2x, Namie 1x, Aiko 1x, Mr. Children 1x (Konya~).

I'm surprise that winmx ppl still don't hv "new message" mp3. They are usually very fast. How about the Itsuka~ CDTV Live (Dec 18), has anyone seen it on winmx? Also Sky Perfect TV was supposed to air 1-hr coverage of Cali Roll and Hibiyaon live (Dec 21, re-broadcast Dec 22, 28, 31 and Jan 3, 5). Hm, let's hope that HK fans got that one too.

yc178, I read somewhere b4 that the performance will be right after midnite. I'll try to find which channel.
