I have uploaded the covers for Ring and The Mixture. Sorry i have not updated the site as often as I want but I'm busy and at the same time lazy. I would like to give thanks to all the people who as come to the BBS and written wonderful thing about B'z. You and I know that they are best and no other band in Japan can produce quality songs. They just ROCK!!! Oh. For the peope who are just too lazy to read all the BBS some of them say that a new album is in the works and it should be out by Decmember. Everybody is saying that the title of it will be "HEARTS" thanks again.....later |
| August 24, 2000 |
ok ok.here is the verdict with the latest single. The 1st beat is "Ring" which is a ballard (like "nigai ai" from the Brotherhood album)and it will be the theme song for a drama "asawo dakishimete." The 2nd beat is "Guilty" This should be the final word with this single but as always come back, just in case. :) |
| August 21, 2000 |
Here is some more news about the up coming single!! Remember "Ring" that's the first beat,
second beat "guilty"and this is something i wanna hears is "Pleasure 2000" for the third beat. Come back again for more info!! |
| August 18, 2000 |
I hope everybody is having a great summer. Me? not really. I stuck around and took some
summer classes. :( Anyway here is some great news that I heard through the grape vine. A great source has informed us that a new single is scheduled to be released sometime in October for a new drama. The title of the song is "asuo dakishimete" but not sure yet.... come back again for some more. |
| August 06, 2000 |
Hey guys!! The new video that we've been all waiting for is out!!!! yeah! go get it.
it should should rock. I have to say sorry to the people who got the Brotherhood video and didn't understand it.... In that video they seemed to be two down to earth guys who love to make music. The money that they make is crazy but it doesn't go to there heads like some artists in Japan. So if you have a Japanese friend ask him/her to watch it with you. They will enjoy it as much as you do.... bye for now. |
| June 24, 2000 | I just got some very sad sad news.OSHIMA is leaving us... he says on his site that he needs a break. i think he deserves it. so don't hassle him too much. just support him at his BBS. Thank you. |

Oh my god!! i just got "The Mixture." It came with the CUBE that they promised so i'm happy with that!!! but i was very sursrised with the "B'z Media Player." There is a song inside the cd that is not readable on the computer without the "B'z Media Player." Unlike the "Survive" album that had a pretty bad music video that was shot in New Orleans, this one has a very cool song on it!
It has no title and was sung in English. The song is very short, not even a minute and a half. so once again go get "The Mixture" maybe i'll find a way to get the song and post it for the next spotlight song!! GET THE "B'z Media Player":www.bz-mixture.com Click at the BONUS TRACK section of the site. |
| Febuary 23, 2000 | Hey everybody! This is Tom. I found out that there is something special about the new B'z cd. It seems like if you download an "B'z Media Player" at www.bz-mixture.comyou can listen to a bonus track off the cd. I have no idea how this works but that's what the site says. So if you get a chance get "The Mixture" |
| Febuary 08, 2000 | Hello everybody this Tom (the HTML coder), I would like to say "I'm sorry." I have not yet uploaded the new mp3 and I have not yet done the face lift for the site. Well to tell you the truth my comupter was out last week with a fried motherboard. I will try to get the site going as soon as possible. Thank you everybody who has voted for the spotlight song and the people who has come back. Thank you!!! |
| Febuary 08, 2000 | I just read (perhaps incorrectly, mind you) that with the purchase of the new B'z album (to be released on February 23rd), you will receive a "B'z Cube", which is their version of the Rubick's Cube! So get out there and make the purchase as soon as possible! |
