They seriously need to release if not 'cover' Kim Hyun Joong's HEAT like now & omg at english version of ultra soul o_o

[YuriChan]

^Not EEVEN gonna comment on the English version of ultra soul!! >.< It's better in Japanese. Perhaps, if we spam B'z on twitter, the self-cover of HEAT might happen! Ehh... Shouldn't that be "LIVE-GYM 2012 -Into Free- EXTRA"? o_o;;; (Although, that's not your fault.)

[ILoveGeniuses]

^i dont like any of the first 5 and the one in 5th place i've never heard of. Sad to see Namie that far down.
Also I honestly expected to see Hikki higher, but maybe due to the fact she hasn't released anything in awhile.
As for B'z it's awesome to see them on here. Just I expected them even higher on that chart.

[YuriChan]

Congrats to B'z! Although, I kind of wish that YUI and Porno Graffitti were a little higher. :\

[KarenPang]

as usual you have to count on B'z's #1 fanboy 8D

B'zのアルバムSURVIVEのブックレットで、稲葉さんが着けてるオーバルクロスのベルトを見て から！ RT @72_rs: @shinpei_brz しん様がクロムハーツを初めて買ったきっかけは何ですか⁇

https://twitter.com/shinpei_brz/stat...01460436570112

I guess this fan asked SHINPEI what was the moment for him which inspired him to buy his 1st CHROME HEARTS (super expensive pricey brand) item

SHINPEI answered that it was when he chanced upon Koshi wearing an oval cross like CHROME HEARTS belt in the booklet sleeve of their album SURVIVE o_o

Who knew that x)

Only★Star’s “Artist Who Look Good in Suits” Fall Ranking 2012

In the current issue of Oricon’s Only★Star magazine, 500 women readers were surveyed regarding “artists who look good in suits“.

Here is the Top 10 Result:

1) Fukuyama Masaharu: taking the top spot is Fukuyama Masaharu who readers agree that his height contributes to his sense of style. Aside from his sex appeal, his appeal in suits became noticeable after the drama series “Galileo” as well as his CMs for XYLISH.

2) Sakurai Sho: Arashi’s Sakurai, whose job as a newscaster for NEWS ZERO, gave Sakurai an intellectual-appeal especially when he is wearing suits.

3) Kamenashi Kazuya: KAT-TUN’s Kamenashi is mostly seen wearing suits for his stint in Going! as a sportcaster. Aside from that, his endorsement for Aoki menswear and Kirin Afternoon Tea made gave him a good reputation for wearing suits with comments ranging from “cool” and “good posture”.

4) Matsumoto Jun: who looks good in “colourful suits” and whose personality stand-out just by his gaze.

5) GACKT: Praised for his controversial fashion sense and unique charm.

6) Domoto Koichi: KinKi Kids’s Koichi, who looks good in formal and “flashy” suits.

7) B’z Koshi Inaba: who wear suits from time to time for his PVs or magazine covers.

8) EXILE: their slim-cut suit makes the band look cool with their dance moves.

9) THE BAWDIES: wearing suits has always been the band’s trademark.

10) Kimura Takuya: SMAP’s Kimura gets into groove of anything that he wears, he looks good with anything even roughly dressed.

Not bad Koshi not bad x)

[ILoveGeniuses]

Nothing against any of them. It's cool he got on the list. However, I just don't think Asian males (any at all) look good in tuxedo type of suits to be perfectly honest.

[YuriChan]

So B'z updated their fan club... According to this B'z facebook group, this is going to be the following releases for live releases!

•Jan 30: DVD＆Blu-ray 「B’z LIVE-GYM 2008 -ACTION-」
•Feb 27: DVD 「B’z LIVE-GYM 2005 -CIRCLE OF ROCK-」
Mar 27: DVD 「B’z LIVE-GYM 2001 -ELEVEN-」

(credit: Bro.(World Wide))

Followed by a rumored (I'm not sure if it's been confirmed yet, but I read that they'll announce something on November 24th) single release titled "BEAT GOES ON", a future album release (probably in 2013), and a tour (the title is rumored to be LIVE-GYM 2013 “BEAT THE 19th ROCK SHOW”). WOW!! The boys have been busy, haven't they?

[KarenPang]

the more B'z releases the merrier as what you might say xD

2013 is going to be quite a year for them , hopefully they will not stop releasing stuff

In addition , as always , their #1 fanboy listened to Ultra Soul as BGM when he went for a run this morning ahahaha x)

^Well, it's going to be their 25th anniversary, after all!

[ILoveGeniuses]

^I thought these concerts were already released.....

Right now I'm trying to collect as many of the Blurays as possible. I wish the damn things weren't so insanely expensive. -_-

[YuriChan]

^They were not released before this year! This is the first time that ELEVEN and CIRCLE OF ROCK are released as a whole, as well as ACTION LIVE-GYM being released for the first time! 2013 is going to be a REALLY busy year for B'z!!

[ILoveGeniuses]

^Sucks not all of them are coming out on bluray.

[YuriChan]

^Nope... Just ACTION. I wonder why they're not releasing the other two in Blu-ray format? O.o;

[LydenLeaf]

Hello ~ I'll be posting this information as it hasn't been shared on here yet.

B'z to perform on Music Station SUPER LIVE 2012

For the first time in 5 years, B'z is going to perform on a Music Station SUPER LIVE. The Music Station SUPER LIVE is set to be broadcasted on December 21st, 2012 from 7PM to 11:10PM. It is still unclear which song(s) the band is going to perform on television, but one might think that this is a perfect occasion for a rendition of "Itsuka no Merry Christmas"?! Or perhaps B'z is going to perform an entirely new song? What do you think?

The last time B'z has appeared on a broadcast of a SUPER LIVE was in 2007, when they performed their then latest single SUPER LOVE SONG. But this isn't exactly the last time B'z has appeared on television. The band was performing on a Music Station special last year on April 1 to show their support for the earthquake victims. They performed Brotherhood and Sayonara Kizu Darake no Hibi yo.

---------------------
I have my calendar marked for this! Ah, I wonder which song(s) they'll be performing. I personally would love to hear Home or Brotherhood (again). I can't get enough of those two live. Though I'm also hoping for something new.

Actually, anything will do since I'm already happy with the fact they'll be giving another performance before the year ends.
