LIVE-GYM 2008 “ACTION” DVD & Blu-ray Release Message
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!

B’z To Release Three LIVE-GYM Home Videos Next Year!
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.

B’z LIVE-GYM 2008 “ACTION” Nagano Big Hat 5/5 Set List
B'z seems to have finally updated their set list to feature 3 new songs. What's weird about the whole thing is that they didn't play the new set list at yesterday's(May 4th) concert in Nagano Big Hat. The venue is able to hold 8,000 in its concert hall. That's probably why they're staying there for a longer time.
We'll see how B'z will change their set list with the upcoming 4 days of ACTION in Nippon Budokan. Nippon Budokan will be able to hold 14,951 fans, so it's going to be interesting how B'z is going to adapt to that.
Anyway, check out today's set list below.
B’z LIVE-GYM Official Website Update
BZ-LIVEGYM.COM has been updated on May 1st and now features a report on the concert in the Saitama Super Arena on April 24th & 25th. The venue is able to hold 37,000 fans in its big arena. By looking at the pictures, you can only imagine how awesome the atmosphere must have been.
If you're wondering why we didn't post a new set list for this concert: We didn't post an update because nothing has changed in the set list. It's still the same as the one that has been played in the Mie Kenei Sun Arena on April 19th.
You can check out the LIVE-GYM report for the Saitama Super Arena HERE. Click on "ARENA LIVE REPORT" and select the second button from the left in the list.
