Will B'z ever stop producing music? No. Read on for the full article.

Tak and Koshi have a passion for music and will continue to produce music as long as they're able to do so. But do they have any special plans for the future? In an interview with Hard News Café, Tak Matsumoto reveals that they would indeed like to do more shows in the U.S. and are actively looking for opportunities to make B'z more known to the U.S. audience. He even goes one step further saying "we’ll release songs in English as well". There are rumors out on the internet - there always are - that B'z might release a new single & album by the end of the year. However unlikely that may seem due to the fact that they're touring Japan until late December, B'z might target a U.S. - or even an international - debut.

While their original plan was to get more Americans to know B'z through their LIVE-GYM tour on the West coast in July, most of the people in the audience were from Asia. Even during the world-wide live broadcast of their gig in Los Angeles, there have been only few people outside of Japan that have watched the show online. But it was the first time that B'z played English versions of "Samayoeru Aoi Dangan", "Juice", "SPLASH!" and "Brotherhood". Will this be the new direction B'z will take?

The next "challenge" Tak and Koshi will face, is to see how an American audience will react to their music. They'll join Linkin Park on stage on August 31st for an intimate show to raise money for Japan. In addition to that, their first two LIVE-GYM performances will be in the disaster struck area, in Sendai (Miyagi Prefecture), where all of the earnings will go to charity.

All in all, B'z is all over the place and we can only imagine what they've got in store for 2012! (Perhaps another U.S., or even a world tour?)

On to the news!
There have been quite a lot of good news the past days.

UStream Account indicates LA Performance will be streamed

An Account called PEPSINEX_LIVE has been spotted on UStream and it looks like they're testing the equipment for streaming the show right now. On the channel page it says " PEPSINEX_LIVE started broadcasting: B'z LIVE in L.A.(300Mbps) 1 days ago". And since the account is called Pepsi NEX... they might also stream the PEPSI NEX special performance on September 28th. Who knows? We expect official news in the next days. Stay tuned!

B'z participating in Linkin Park secret concert in LA on August 31st

Linkin Park is inviting B'z to perform with them at their special secret concert. All you have to do is create a page at http://www.give2gether.com/projects/music-for-relief/, raise $500 for Japan with your page and get 2 tickets to the secret concert on August 31st!

C'mon full version is on air

The full version of C'mon is now broadcasted by radio stations across Japan. C'mon proves to be a good song, but it's far from hard-rock as you'd imagine. It's a song for a commercial after all. It does convince me with its bright melody and brilliant guitar solo (Tak ). Look forward to listening to it!!

B'z performing at TV Asahi's Dream Festival

It was announced that B'z would be performing at the TV Asahi Dream Festival in Nippon Budokan on September 25th. A ticket costs 9,000 Yen and B'z will be performing at 3 PM. I couldn't find any information on whether it's on television or not, but I suppose it will be.

B'z guest in a radio show on J-WAVE

On July 18th, J-WAVE is hosting a special radio program called "J-WAVE HOLIDAY SPECIAL PEPSI NEX presents GO NEXT! GO SUMMER!". B'z will be there as a guest on the show. It will be broadcasted from 9AM to 5:55PM. I'll try to get you guys the B'z bit of the show

The title of the tour has yet to be determined. As the tour begins in September, we can deduce that the new album will be out in July/August. However, August is more likely as B'z second single, Don't Wanna Lie, is going to be released on June 1st.

I hope you all like it as much as I do. I think it's very original. Furthermore, support members have been announced along with revealing the logo:

Masuda Takanobu -- Keyboards

Shane Gaalaas -- Drums

Ohta Shinichiro and Akihito Tokunaga are not on the dream team this time.

As, unfortunately, I'm not able to go to Japan to see the concert(will explain why later), I've already told my friends what to get for me.

Anyway, if you just want to have a look at them, or know what they are, I translated them all for you.

As of this writing, there are still ''ACTION'' tickets available for the concerts in the "Nagano Big Hat" venue on May 4th and May 5th.

Note: I do not believe you can buy tickets from outside Japan, so you'll likely need to arrange something with a friend overseas.
