We have got about a month left before everyone can enjoy the latest homevideo release from the band: B’z LIVE-GYM Pleasure 2013 ENDLESS SUMMER -XXV BEST-. Recently, the band has released a new trailer detailing each song on the show’s set list in about 2 minutes and 18 seconds. B’z LIVE-GYM Pleasure 2013 ENDLESS SUMMER -XXV BEST- is set to be released on January 29th, 2014.

By the way, B’z LIVE-GYM Pleasure 2013 ENDLESS SUMMER -XXV BEST- is 26% off at Amazon Japan. I saved about 1000 yen compared to CDJapan and other shops, so if you have a credit card, you should definitely check out Amazon.co.jp. Here’s the link: [Amazon.co.jp]

From the moment the latest B’z tour came to an end, fans have been eagerly anticipating the home video release for their 25th anniversary nationwide tour B’z LIVE-GYM Pleasure 2013 -ENDLESS SUMMER-. Today, we finally know when the package will be released, and much to everyone’s surprise, it is coming in a bigger and better form than anyone ever expected!

B’z LIVE-GYM Pleasure 2013 ENDLESS SUMMER -XXV BEST- will be released on January 29, 2014, and will be available on both DVD & Blu-ray. What sets this release apart is that it will come available in not just a Regular Edition containing the full Nissan Stadium finale concert but also a Complete Edition that is no doubt the biggest B’z has ever released!

The Complete Edition contains not only the full finale concert but also a feature-length hall & dome tour documentary as well as yet ANOTHER full concert from the band: an earlier July performance during the hall tour with a vastly different setlist comprised almost entirely of rarely played songs and full of gems that fans have long clamored to have added to their home video collections. This massive addition to the B’z home video collection comes in at a staggering 348 minutes (nearly 6 hours!) runtime and is definitely not one to be missed!

Hit the jump for the full contents of both editions of the upcoming release as well as a trailer (the music in the video is OVERTURE, by the way!) just released by the band! (more…)

So, about one week later, after my first ever B’z dome concert in Osaka, which I was able to attend thanks to a friend from the UK, the fateful day approached. I’m of course talking about B’z 25th anniversary day: September 21st, 2013. 25 years ago, on that day, B’z debuted with their first single Dakara Sono Te wo Hanashite and their self-titled debut album B’z. And right when B’z announced this 25th anniversary tour, I knew that I wanted to get tickets to the September 21st show. I just had to.

The last time I wrote a live report, I went to the United States for the first time to see B’z for the first time. This year, I finally had saved enough money to be able to go to Japan. It was a huge dream of mine to be able to attend the PLEASURE 2013 tour. And so I made my way to Japan on September 6th. First time in Japan, first ever Pleasure concert experience. I was so excited.

Read on after the break as it’s incredibly long!

The band shouting “OTSUKARE” with the crowd at the end of the last show of the Pleasure 2013 hall tour

Last night, B’z has wrapped up their hall tour with their last show at the Aizu Fugado Hall. The band’s hall tour involved 19 stops all over Japan—all of which sold out in no time. The lucky few who were able to get tickets got the chance to see the band up close in a very intimate setting.

The band will now go on a one week break before teaming up with American rock band Aerosmith for a once-in-a-lifetime event called AEROSONIC at the Chiba Marine Stadium. Aerosmith is very excited to be given the chance to perform with B’z on stage again. The last time B’z and Aerosmith were on stage together, was during the 2002 FIFA World Cup concert.

Following the AEROSONIC gig, B’z will kick off their Pleasure 2013 stadium tour at Sapporo Dome on August 24th, leading up to the grand tour finale in Nissan Stadium on September 21st and 22nd. Look forward to our full coverage of the Nagoya Dome, Kyocera Dome Osaka and Nissan Stadium concerts!

The band has finally posted the official tour merchandise available for purchase at the upcoming LIVE-GYM shows. The main tour merchandise will be available for purchase at B’z The Store at a later date. As usual, we have translated them such that you can take a good look at them.

Since there are a lot of items, you will find them all after the break!
