MAGIC will be out in exactly 2 weeks's time

I can handle the wait LOL :laugh

People talking about scrolling thorugh their old material, personally my favourite is the loose album and I strongly recommend it, especially tracks like negai, the loose and love phantom.

Personally, since listening to B'z, I'd say I love their stuff from 1999 and so forth! :laugh

Yeah, Loose is their best (and best-selling) studio album

If you like their harder stuff, I'd recommend BIG MACHINE! :D

I found these pieces of info surrounding MAGIC from wikipedia

not sure if it's reliable but anyway

The opening track Introduction was a guitar instrumental requested by lead singer Koshi once the rest of the album had been completed .

This track was designed to merge into the opening of the second track DIVE which had previously been on the album's first single .

The slow tempo opening of the single version was removed to provide a more seamless crossover from the end of the introduction track . The album contains two power ballads , one of which is the previously-heard PRAY along with TINY DROPS which was first debuted on the bayfm radio show .

oh so this probably means the album version of DIVE is gonna be different to have a more smoother album transition

B'z on the cover of the Japanese edition of this month's Rolling Stones & BREAKERZ's guitarist SHINPEI is holding a copy of it which you can see in his latest blog entry - http://community.livejournal.com/breakerz/77005.html

:laugh

HA! Koshi looks like he's gonna eat Tak! XDDD

I hope the album will sell well . I'm sure it will since it's B'z !

how much did ACTION ! sold though ? I wonder if MAGIC can overtake ACTION !'s sales or not

Not surprised! 8D B'z is just that awesome! <3

ah I hope MAGIC will leak out soon *______*

I heard that the album version of DIVE is a bit different from the single version

because the introduction's kinda like a transition to the song so yup

the MAGIC album is finally up for download :D

Thanks for the link! <3 B'z never fails to surprise me! :laugh

are you getting your copy of MAGIC , Heather ? :innocent

I can't afford it! ; ; Otherwise, I would! D: It sucks to be poor!!! (TT_TT) I love this album in general! <33 It's MONSTER times 3!! :smitten

aw T_T T_T T_T

I listened to it on 1st listen last night , awesome stuff :D . The album tracks are great & I love the introduction piece :heart

it's more or less a less than a min instrumental piece of MAGIC :smitten

I say this is what Ayu needs! :D But I noticed that they cut out the "la la la la" part in DIVE. Just went straight to the heavy instrumental opening in DIVE! :laugh I also noticed that Ichibu to Zenbu is a bit heavier than the single version. :D

yeah the album version of DIVE's different , not that much anyway

they cut off 18 secs of the intro to make things more consistent in the sound

& eh the album version of Ichibu to Zenbu is more harder sounding ? I have to check on that

MAGIC debuted at #1 with 126,398 copies sold on the 1st day :D :thud
