Oh wow this's really exciting , I'm curious to know how this collaboration of Tak & Anna will work out to be like <3

YuriChan · #7 8th October 2011, 01:29 AM

^HOLY CRAP!!

That's awesome!

I am SO looking forward to this!

KarenPang · #8 8th October 2011, 02:11 AM

yeah it's awesome isn't it ?

I don't know what does Tak does in his solo works , does he sing or he just compose for other artistes ? :O

What he did for KAT-TUN's Real Face composition of the melody wise was brillant , maybe he will do that for Anna as well ?

YuriChan · #9 8th October 2011, 04:13 AM

^He doesn't sing. But he'll compose for other artists and come out with instrumental CDs.

Ahhh... Good set list. Too bad OCEAN wasn't in that set.

Oh well!! All my other favorites are on it!

KarenPang · #12 19th November 2011, 01:47 AM

I'm looking at the no. of best albums B'z has released & I'm a bit confused over B'z The Best "ULTRA Pleasure" & B'z The Best "ULTRA Treasure"

What's the difference between both of them & which one is more worth it in getting ? :O

YuriChan · #13 20th November 2011, 03:48 AM

ULTRA Pleasure has mostly single tracks, except for BAD COMMUNICATION and Pleasure 2008 〜人生の快楽〜 (kind of like A COMPLETE) and ULTRA Treasure has mostly album tracks, 4 single tracks, and b-sides. I'd recommend getting ULTRA Pleasure! (^_^) Here's another way to tell!

YuriChan · #15 20th November 2011, 04:35 AM

^Oh geez... That's a toughy! I love both albums. >.< If I had to make my chose, I'd choose ULTRA Pleasure.

KarenPang · #16 20th November 2011, 09:38 AM

but if someone gives you an option in choosing between ULTRA Pleasure , ULTRA Treasure & C'mon , that has to be tough now isn't it ? 8D

YuriChan · #17 20th November 2011, 11:18 PM

KarenPang · #18 22nd November 2011, 11:20 AM

New B'z Pepsi NEX Commercial!

The song playing in the background is "いつかのメリークリスマス" (a song that ayu covered twice)!

(30 sec)

(60 sec)

KarenPang · #20 2nd December 2011, 01:13 PM

now I understand why you said the CMs does look like something taken from a page of a PV cos it's very entertaining , despite it being short

It really captures the Christmas spirit well even though I wouldn't associate Pepsi with Christmas haha
