Our country now faces a crisis we’ve never experienced before. In order to rebuild the beautiful houses in our country, we all have to do something. If playing music can help people in the disaster zone, then that’s what we can do for them right now. And as such, that’s exactly the thing we have do to right now.

“B’z Office Sends Over 50 Million Yen To Disaster Zone”
News 
"B'z Office Sends Over 50 Million Yen To Disaster Zone" - Article in the Tokyo Sports Newspaper
B’z management has donated over 50 million Yen(500,000€ / $625,000) to help out people that have lost their homes due to the quake. But that is not all: They are also sending goods such as water into the disaster zone to provide assistance in supplying people with fresh water and food. Taking into account the goods as well as the generous donation, the total value of the donation amounts to more than 100 million Yen.
Being Group – which B’z recording label belongs to – has refused to announce the donation publicly as they do not want it to come off as promotion for the company. The information has been uncovered by an insider who then passed it on to a newspaper, namely Tokyo Sports.
The report states that Being Group has set up emergency headquarters to ensure the safety of their staff and their families.
He also says that Tak Matsumoto has taken interest in doing a collaboration with AKB48 to compose a new song which is different from his current ballads. No plans have been revealed yet, though.
B’z To Perform On Music Station Special 4/1
News Looks like B’z is doing an ALL-OUT ATTACK this year. B’z Official Website states that B’z is going to perform during the broadcast of the 3-hour Music Station special which is set to air on April 1st, 2010 from 7PM to 9:48PM. It is unknown what song B’z is going to perform, but it is highly likely that B’z is going to perform their new single “Sayonara Kizu Darake no Hibi yo” to make up for the postponed release date of said single.
This is the first time in 4 years that B’z is appearing on television. Last time B’z appeared on television, they were performing SUPER LOVE SONG on the Music Station SUPER LIVE 2007 as well as Best Artist 2007.
“Sayonara Kizu Darake no Hibi yo” Release Postponed
News Due to the emergency situation caused by last Friday’s earthquake, the release of new single “Sayonara Kizu Darake no Hibi yo” was postponed, as we can learn on B’z official website. The reason for this are production as well as distribution difficulties.
This isn’t a big surprise, as many other artists and recording labels have already postponed release scheduled for March 23th and 30th.
Also, B’z the Store, B’z PARTY Store, and VERMILLION STUDIO online stores have temporarily ceased activities.
A new release date has yet to be arranged.
Message from B’z and Shane Gaalaas about the Great Tohoku Earthquake
News Today on B’z official website as well as B’z PARTY official website appeared a message from both members about the Great Tohoku Earthquake that hit Japan last Friday.
Now I’m praying for damage to not increase anymore and for more people as possible to be rescued and saved.
Everyone, let’s join forces to overcome this moment, so someday soon we’ll have our bright Japan back!!
– Tak MatsumotoSeeing the great damages the Earthquake caused, the city where lovely people used to live disrupted, and so many lifes lost, this made my heart cry, and I felt helpless. I think we should be united, with all our might, because this could raise someone else’s hopes.
– Koshi Inaba
Also B’z support member Shane Gaalaas wrote a post in his blog, both in English and Japanese:
Hello Japan,
Sending this picture I took this morning of a little flower that reminded me of you… I hope in some small way you could somehow find some happiness in your life in these tragic times.
Thinking of you and how lucky I am to know what a beautiful nation Japan is.
Love,
Shane
