yeah Matsumoto did an amazing job composing Real Face be it for the single or album version of the tune & hats off to Suga Shikao with regards to the lyrical aspect of the song :heart :smitten

& same like me , I was real impressed with Ichibu to Zenbu / DIVE & I hope MY LONELY TOWN will be another top notch single of the guys

I can't wait for the full song! <3 It sounds like their earlier songs! :smitten

just curious Heather , when Ichibu to Zenbu / DIVE's PVs were released , when did that happened ?

1-2 weeks before the single was officially released or you have no idea on that ?

^To be honest, Karen, I have NO idea! XDD But I found them floating around on youtube a month before the single was released. :)

they actually played ichibu to zenbu ballad version in BUZZER BEAT. or at least i think it's that, since it was a slow ballad-like version. it's not bad, but i prefer the original.

^That's awesome! <333 Does anyone have a clip of the Ballad version?

I think it's great that they will be crossing 300K next week & considering that Ichibu to Zenbu / DIVE was only released in 1 edition , it's saying something about their selling power despite being in the business for 20 + years & counting

^They've ALWAYS released in one edition! :laugh The only times they've released in more than one edition was their best albums and SPLASH! (when it came in 4 limited editions with different songs and 3 were CD+DVD format).

wow so MY LONELY TOWN will be their 1st single to be released in 2 different editions ?

cool , I learnt something new today

Good news!!! B'z jumped up to number 3 on the Oricon!!! :heart

they will crack 300K this week , I'm so happy for them :)

GO B'z! <333 It'll be great if they go up to 400K or more! :luv2

That site is amazing, they've got a lot of B'z material!

The only albums they're missing are the instrumental albums (which are REALLY rare)! :P
