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…)

B’z LIVE-GYM 2008 “ACTION” is out now on DVD and Blu-ray! Tak and Koshi have released a message for their fans concerning the long awaited home video release of this LIVE-GYM tour. Among pre-orders of upcoming releases, this home video release was ranked 2nd with only NEWS’ home video release of their “LIVE TOUR 2012~Utsukushii Koi ni suru yo~”  tour gathering more pre-orders. Now, without further ado, here’s the message from Tak and Koshi!

Action Daimaou(Devil)!
Tak

–NOTE: This is actually a joke by Tak. He is referencing an anime show from the 70s called “Hakushon Daimaou”(link). Japanese people pronounce ACTION as “akushon” which almost sounds like “hakushon”.

When I rewatch the footage of our Action Tour now, my body is getting exhausted once again. Please enjoy watching a Live-Gym soaked with sweat!

The first news of the B’z 25th anniversary year is here, and… it’s BIG! In typical B’z fashion, the celebration is being kicked off in a huge way! Beginning January 30th, the band will be releasing not one, not two, but THREE previously unreleased LIVE-GYMs on home video in the span of only three months!

The news came down on B’z PARTY (the official B’z fanclub in Japan) this morning and you won’t have to wait long! For the first time ever,B’z LIVE-GYM 2008 “ACTION” will be seeing its home video debut, while—finally—we will be able to see the full shows of LIVE-GYM 2005 “CIRCLE OF ROCK” and LIVE-GYM 2001 “ELEVEN” (previously highlighted on compilation discs released over the years). ACTION will be coming in January, with the other two to follow in February and March respectively.

What is perhaps most noteworthy about these releases is the fact that so many of the songs being released are coming to home video in live form for the very first time. The 2008 single “BURN -Fumetsu no Face-” will make its live debut on the ACTION release, along with album songs “Junjou ACTION” and “Perfect Life”, plus prized B-side “New Message” (among many others). The 2008 tour was especially exciting for fans for—at the time—offering one of the best balanced setlists the band had put together and should be a fantastic watch when it hits DVD & Blu-ray on January 30th.
