News

A PV for “Itsuka Mata Koko De” has been made available on the B’z 20th Anniversary Special Website. It’s not really a PV, though. It’s more of a compilation of live scenes taken from various concerts (Typhoon No. 15, BUZZ, LIVE RIPPER, to name a few), but it also includes a short scene of the Pleasure 2008 tour, which is just the fireworks at the end of the concert. Guess we’ll all have to wait for that live DVD to come out.

Also, at the end of the video, there are Tak’s and Koshi’s messages attached, expressing their personal feelings for their birthday — and for their fans. The translation will be up on offthelock tomorrow(September 22nd). For now, you’ll gonna have to make do with the PV itself:

Finally, the sample for Glory Days has been added to the B’z 20th Anniversary Special Website. If you personally can’t wait to go all the way to the website itself, here are the direct links to the sample in both Real Media and Windows Media format.

Looks like my thesis has been proven wrong, and Glory Days is not the Ending SE for the arena part of the ACTION tour.  Guess we will have to stay tuned for more information.

Also,  if you visit the bz20th.com’s front page, you will see one of their TV commercials, which now seems to include Glory Days as background music. Furthermore, Glory Days can now be downloaded by people in Japan for use as ringtone(i.e. Chaku Uta).
