B’z in New Pepsi Nex CM?
News 
Information has surfaced on the Japanese Bulletin Board “2ch” that B’z will be in the next iteration of “Pepsi Nex” commercials. The Pepsi Nex renewal is set to March 1st, which will probably also mark the day when the commercial will be on air. It is unknown whether a new B’z song will be featured in the commercial or not. An official press release is expected for tomorrow. We will keep you updated, of course!
Larry & Tak Videos From Tokyo Jazz 2010
Tak Matsumoto News As previously reported, Tak Matsumoto and Larry Carlton were given the honour to perform at the Tokyo Jazz Festival 2010. In fact, it was the first time for Tak Matsumoto to perform at Tokyo Jazz Festival. Several weeks after the festival ended, the whole festival was aired on TV including selected performances by Larry and Tak. I promised I would post the videos here once I found them. Kudos go to Youtube user ktp178tak who uploaded them.
Since they’re rips from BShi, they’re in HD. Download links for HD + embedded youtube videos after the break!
Removed the videos, but you can still check them out in the media section of BNP.
Pictures From Tokyo Jazz & TV Broadcast *UPDATE*
Tak Matsumoto News A few days ago pictures from the Tokyo Jazz Festival 2010 were posted on the festival’s site. I have them here for your enjoyment. Also, the Tokyo Jazz Festival 2010 will be aired on NHK BShi(HD) on October 6,7 and 8 from 11:30 PM to 12:59 AM respectively as well as on NHK BS2 on October 16 from 1:30 PM to 6PM (whoa, really?).
It is unclear to what extend the performance of Tak and Larry will be broadcasted on TV, or if they will be shown on TV at all.
*Update*: The following songs will be shown on TV: Tokyo Night, Take Your Pick and Jazzy Bullets! This particular program is airing October 6.
