Be With! Vol 95 Cover

After a short hiatus, we are now able to bring you the latest B’z interview to date! The interview was conducted right after their Pepsi PREMIUM LIVE in August last year. This issue covers a lot of behind the scenes information on the band’s debut English album, the involvement of drummer Shane Gaalaas in its production, and the band’s latest plans for their then-upcoming tour, B’z LIVE-GYM 2012 -Into Free-.

You can find the interview in our B’z wiki: http://bzwiki.offthelock.com/Be_With!_Vol._95_(September_2012)

The next issue, Be With! Vol. 96, is expected to ship in the upcoming weeks. The interview will most likely feature Tak and Koshi’s impressions of their North American tour. Look forward to it!

Don’t forget to stay hype.

Be With! Vol 94 Cover

We are sure it’s been a while since you’ve read a full interview with B’z that was exclusive to fanclub members. Keen used to translate bits here and there which would also reveal funny bits about the band. We are striving to do the same. In Be With! Vol. 94 the band talks about their collaboration with Kim Hyun Joong, the release of the LIVE-GYM 2011 DVD and their ongoing collaboration with Pepsi!

I have received Be With! Vol. 95 yesterday and will start translating the interview soon. The interview in this issue was conducted right after the Pepsi NEX PREMIUM LIVE, so they’re also going to talk about that. Once I’ve done that, I will also translate music video shooting diaries, backstage reports and such. This depends on the issue. I’ll start with volume 95 and work my way through all the older ones.

Stay tuned! And don’t forget to keep the hype going!

Yep, this is an interview, from the March 2009 issue of the official B’z fanclub magazine. You only get it if you’re a member of B’z PARTY. This is just a rather small part of the interview, but I’ll continue to translate parts of it until I have the whole interview translated. I’ll keep you updated. For now, just enjoy.
