B’z New Single “RED” Coming June 10th!
News 
As was previously reported, a new B’z song entitled 「RED」 recently debuted as the mound theme for the Hiroshima Toyo Carp’s pitcher Hiroki Kuroda. Today, the official website revealed that the song would become the band’s 52nd single with a release date of June 10th, 2015. The song has also been played during the band’s most recent tour, EPIC NIGHT, as the Ending SE alongside another unreleased song as of April 17th.
Interestingly, the single will be only the second in their catalogue–the first since 1996’s 「Real Thing Shakes」–to feature only one track. The single will be released in three varieties: a CD edition that retails for only 650 Yen, a CD and DVD edition containing a special music video for 1000 yen, and a CD and special edition wristband for 1600 yen. The music video incorporates live footage from B’z LIVE-GYM 2015 -EPIC NIGHT- at Yokohama Arena, while the wristband is red and white in accordance with the colors of the Hiroshima Toyo Carp.

B’z LIVE-GYM 2015 -EPIC NIGHT- Yokohama Arena (4/2) Live Report
News 
Yokohama Arena main entrance
B’z has finally kicked off another tour, and this time it’s an album tour in support of their latest album, EPIC DAY. Last time, I went to their 25th anniversary tour B’z LIVE-GYM Pleasure 2013 -ENDLESS SUMMER-. My expectations were high, of course, as I am used to great shows by B’z. So this time I chose to attend one of their hall shows (should I get tickets!) and went with Yokohama Arena, as these shows were in a time frame where I had time to make a trip to Japan. I entered the ticket draw through the official fanclub, B’z PARTY, and bam!, I was lucky enough to get four tickets to the show on April 2nd. My friends, however, weren’t so lucky, but I could provide them with tickets so they could attend as well.
So how did B’z fare in Yokohama Arena on their latest tour? Find out in my detailed review after the break!
