Thanks for all the kind words. ^^ What would I do without you girls?
Ah, tamashii...I love that flash intro on the party site. And I am instantly loving all the songs too! Yes, just based on those fleeting seconds. I know we shouldn't judge, but none of them sound like really hard rock do they? Sort of midtempo rock. There was one clip, maybe the one after hakanai diamond, where Koshi sounded wonderful. And that pic was rocking. Even though my bro was like, "I've seen that pose a million times before" lol.

hats off to u keen-chan ^.~ it looks so different now ^0^ suki desu! <3 <3 <3 i love those sections icons hanging up there ^^ cool!
dave's review made me feel that i'm so ignorant ^^; i can't tell how skilful each of them is, but as long as the song turns out great, it's enough for me ;p M-chan also writes very good review ne! hontou! :)

M, you write some of the most fantastic pieces of B'z articles and reports, for example that offense page is so original and creative, I love to go and read it sometimes just for a good laugh.
Of course to be able to write reviews like Dave requires something else like being a guitar player and enough knowledge of music and the terms =p
But that's not enough, you must be able to put thoughts into writing too. I know very well that I can't write. The thought of doing essays scare me!
In short, I'm very lucky to be able to feature in this site your essays and Dave's (and also Gerald's, not like he visits here often). B2 did some guitar tabs and Tamashii scanned all the pics. And then all English-speaking B'z fans get the benefits for sure.
Actually to anyone who wants to contribute writings or anything to the site, pls don't hesitate to contact me. I'd love to hear from you!
PS: Don't worry about my eyes, K-3, lol, they are still good for designer who feast eyes on computer all day. But yeah, kekkou ganbarimashita ne. Thanks! ^-^

I love Dave's review. I wish I could write like that: to the point and efficiently eloquent, but I always go on and on. I'm no judge of drums and bass at all. I can't tell what's good and what's bad! I haven't listened to Brotherhood in a while. I guess I tend to think of it as one of their most serious albums and this summer I couldn't part with GREEN.
Original single Giri Giri has one of my top 3 favorite Tak solos! And I like the sigh in it. So I have to say I prefer the single just a little bit over ver. 51, but it's all good.

finally, the review Brotherhood has always deserved! what else can be said that Dave hasn't already? no, really, I don't know what else to say...except that in Giri Giri I have always liked it when after Koshi's laugh you hear the bass drum just kind of..."trail off," I guess. and Brotherhood's solos are extremely cool. and I'm waiting for a song to top Shine's sheer amazingness as a B'z song!

I can't agree more with Dave's review! (Brotherhood is one of my most favorite B'z album so far!) I'm not a drum expert (or that of any other instrument) so I don't really know whether Kaichi did good or bad... ^^;;
But I like Giri Giri Chop Version 51 better than the original, though the original had bits that I really liked, such as Tak's kickass solo and Koshi's lil' "tongue play" instead of the laughter! XD (which reminds me, all the negative feedback from Detective Conan fans on original Giri Giri Chop. -_-;;)
Anywayz, I already posted a message on what I think of the new site look at NP. ^^

M, I had ordered from cdjapan a few times. Their delivery fee kills me. Anyway, this will be the first time I try Yesasia. I sent them e-mail the other day and they replied promptly. That tells you something about service. I'm glad... but Tamaki, really? A month! Anyway thanks minna =p
What is this I saw at B'z Express? Nagisa-en's concerts are cancelled due to sound technical problem? Apparently they will move into indoor venue.

Keen-chan, I told you to try ordering online many times, but you never would! :P I don't know about Yesasia service based out of Asia, but the one based in San Francisco is pretty reliable. Although recently, since they switched to media mail, it takes forever to ship out stuff. But I thought you liked cdjapan? Well, up to you.
I won't even be here when Big Machine is released, so I won't be able to get it until October 1. The pain...the pain. ROCK man, how come you never get on ym anymore? Where is the grouchy sarcasm and the grim speeches about KBs??

Keen, I've bought stuff from yesasia many times successfully. So far, I've gotten everything I've ordered in good condition. Their prices seem to be quite reasonable. I agree that the free shipping option takes a while, though. Sometimes it takes a month for items to reach me after they've sent me the notice that it's shipped. And I don't remember being able to track my packages, but maybe the shipping to Australia is different? Anyway, I hope your first transaction with them goes smoothly!!

ROCKet Man, now that you mention a patch being available in July, I remember reading in the newspaper a while ago about the fault they found in Windows. they said it was a potential field day for hackers, and here we are...I guess people will take those critial updates a little more seriously from now on!

B2: it's a remote call using a faulty windows protocol. If the port is blocked, remote access doesn't work. If it CAN get through any firewall, that would be scary. Anyway, the security patch was available in July. It's amazing that people are just applying now.

coz I'm too happy tat it works. So I'm mass-posting.
More from the book "TWELVE" - About Matsumoto Tak
Koshi: "Before B'z, I've never had such relationship with anyone before. Sometimes he's my senpai (=senior), sometimes douryou (=same rank), sometimes aniki (=big brother). We always get along without feeling incompatible, to think about it, it's rather mysterious. But other people in different field too, if they spent so much time and experience such closeness with people at work, their relationships probably come close to ours." (1997)
Masaru Setsumaru (producer): "When Inaba was on his solo project, Matsumoto-san went to study English in San Diego for 3 months. I like to talk about this in my conversation. I think it's amazing how somebody in his position would even think of stopping everything to go study again. He also made friends with some pupils who are much younger and of different nations. This will definitely be a good sample to many teenage B'z fans. It's such a positive encouragement."
The same guy also recalled that once Tak invited him for dinner. He thought it'd be with all B'z entourage, but no, it was just him and the bozz. During dinner, they talked about everything but work. Afterwards, since he must go back to office, Tak hailed a cab for him and when asked Tak said he would walk back home himself! Masaru remembered being surprised and wondering if it is really okay.
Yoshiaki Sugiyama (photographer): "I felt Matsumoto-san's inner strength more than ever during the shooting of his solo album's jacket in Kyushuu. I thought he must have been worn out already. Such hard schedule of photo-shooting in the middle of tour. But he didn't show even a particle of fatigue. He showed such strong determination, but when we finished he went funya (=soft, weak). But still he didn't say that I'm tired.
Both B'z members, they are like that no matter where, in studio or on stage. They also speak like normal to everyone. Like with me around, they would still talk back to each other or sometimes quarrel."
Tak's golden philosophy of the day:
If you do something you think is kakkoii (=cool), but no one knows about it, I think it's not kakkoii at all. (1995)
... some Koko goodness will follow. Enough of my post.

Sept 10 - B'z Live-On- 1998~2003, photo book
Sept 17 - 13th album "Big Machine"
Sept 20 - B'z Ultra Chronicle, book
Plus all those livegyms they are doing, what a busy pair of B'z we have this year. Tak and Ko-chan, don't get too overworked now!

Keen,
Some help for you about the virus (yes i caught it too, but now I'm free):
To stop it for a while (in the time when you receive the message that your pc is gonna restart)
Click --- Start
Run --- write cmd
and then write the command (shutdown -a)
But you'll need to be fast. This command Will certainlly stop the shutdown thingie for a while, but it doesn't takes the virus out of your pc.
If you wanna try other way to remore the virus, follow this (I used it on my pc, and the virus was totally romoved):
GO TO C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 AND FIND MSBLAST.EXE AND RENAME IT TO BLASTMS.BAK (DON'T DELETE IT SINCE I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS AN IMPORTANT FILE, IF ITS A VIRUS IT WILL NOT
BE ABLE TO START IF U RENAME IT, RENDERING IT USELESS.)
NOW GO TO C:\WINDOWS\PREFETCH AND DELETE THE FILE THAT HAS MSBLAST.EXE IN ITS NAME.
(IT STARTS WITH MSBLAST.EXE IN ITS FILENAME)
THE VIRUS ADDS A REGISTRY VALUE TO AUTO LOAD WHEN WINDOWS STARTS UP, YOU MUST DELETE THE REGISTRY KEY.
1. Click Start, and then click Run. (The Run dialog box appears.)
2. Type regedit
3. Then click OK. (The Registry Editor opens.)
4. Navigate to the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
5. In the right pane, delete the value:
"windows auto update"="msblast.exe"
6. Exit the Registry Editor.
INSTALL THE PATCH FOR YOUR SYSTEM FROM THE LINKS BELOW

Have you ever noticed how low B'z bow at the end of a concert? I've heard and read that there are various degrees of bowing here. A simple nod of the head in some situations, a long, deep bow to one's superiors, etc. Taking this into consideration, B'z bow so low we can see the tattoo on Inaba-san's back! That proves how much they appreciate and respect their fans' loyalty!

Oh B2 I love the "Well I really don't know how to see it..." and then all the fans going nuts! And I just watched the video of Snow/Shoushin on Music Station again last night. What great songs.
K-3, you never know! Really! B'z seem so nice in Meet and Greet...and in ABR all the fans looked so nervous lol. Well, I certainly would be too. It's great that you have so many LiveGym memories. :) Are you a family of B'z fans? You should send in a picture to Be With!
(PS Can you give me your email address, K-3? You can email it to me if you like. ^~ )
One of the reasons I like B'z so much, apart from their music, is that they really are so nice to their fans and never take them for granted. And you can tell it's real, they're never pretending to be nice. I've said it before, but their smiles really light up an entire arena during lives.
