B’z Releasing Remastered Live-Recordings
B'z today announced that they will release remastered versions of B'z LIVE-GYM Pleasure 2008 -GLORY DAYS-, LIVE-GYM 2006 MONSTER'S GARAGE as well as "B'z LIVE in Nanba" coupled with B'z SHOWCASE 2007 -19- on Blu-ray.
Each of these three releases will cost you a whopping 6300 Yen. Interestingly enough, only the performance itself has been remastered. For example, the documentary DVD that ships with MONSTER'S GARAGE is only available on DVD, not Blu-ray. All 3 sets will be released on December 22nd.
If you don't own the live video already or are an HD freak, I'd recommend getting it. As for myself, I'm going to sit this one out as I do not support this kind of move. I want them to release unreleased performances instead.
Does that now mean we won't get a new B'z single this year? Perhaps. But we've seen crazy things happen before, so I am still getting my hopes up. Stay tuned!

Glory Days Full Version on YouTube
Apparently, Glory Days is also broadcasted by radio stations, and someone was so kind to upload it to YouTube. Thanks also go to Mameshibaken, who linked me to it.
Glory Days Sample Now Available
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).
ACTION Arena Tour Ending SE = Glory Days?
A few days ago, a friend was so kind to send me a recording of one of the ACTION tour concerts, namely the one in Saitama Super Arena. Since I really wanted to listen to the new ending song, I immediately switched on my music player and hit the PLAY button.
So, what I heard was a very bright and upbeat song. And Tak's guitar solo is just A-W-E-S-O-M-E. In order to find out what the title of the song could be, I closely listened to the lyrics. At first, I didn't notice anything particular at all, but after listening to it a few times, I noticed that at the end of the chorus an off-voice sings "WHAT A GLORY DAY"(or something similar). So I assume it's Glory Days.
What else could it be, anyway?
I highly doubt that it's "Itsuka Mata Koko De" because this song will play a significant role in the Pleasure 2008 tour. If you translate the title, it's "Someday here again" after all.
