B’z Shooting Pepsi NEX Commercial in Sydney
Hello folks, long time no see!
There haven't been a lot of news concerning B'z lately. They wrapped up their C'mon tour around christmas and then went on break. But for how long? Apparently not for too long as we got word from Sydney that B'z is currently shooting a new Pepsi NEX TV commercial. The first shot that was tweeted by user @greenapple21 which showed a bunch of people on top of a parking garage. She claimed it was B'z shooting a new promo video. However, the picture was taken too far away to confirm.

The private performance at Shibuya AX for the 1,000 lucky winners of the PEPSI NEX special campaign has just ended. As usual, we have the set list right here for you! Just so we can all envy those lucky people.
B'z will go back to touring from now on. Their next two performances will be on October 1st and 2nd at the Fukuoka Marine Messe and after that they'll hit the Kobe World Kinen Hall for two performances on October 9th and 10th. C'mon!!
Check out the set list after the break!
C’mon Special Campaign
B'z new album "C'mon" is in stores today, and 111,549 units have already been sold on the previous day. Unsurprisingly, B'z has done it again: They've earned the pole position on the Oricon Daily Album Chart. To celebrate the release of the new album, B'z has launched a special campaign:
Every copy of C'mon - be it the regular or the limited edition - comes with a small card that has an ID on the back. If you go to http://www.bz-vermillion.com/928live/, you can enter your ID by clicking on the button at the bottom.
Once you've entered your ID, you are automatically participating in a giveaway where you can win one of the few tickets they're giving out for the PEPSI NEX special performance in Shibuya AX on September 28th. Until now, you were only able to get a ticket by buying Pepsi Nex and collecting points until you've got enough points to redeem them and earn your ticket. The deadline to redeem your code is September 6th, 2011 11:59PM.
That is not all, however. Once you redeem your code, you'll also get special download contents. As I've found out, it's actually just a wallpaper available for Android/iPhone/PC/etc which you can download in whatever format you prefer. I haven't received my copy yet, so I don't know what kind of wallpaper it is, but I'm sure it must be something good

Details About Pepsi Nex CM
There are a few facts that have been left out in the previous post. It is actually B'z first appearance on a TV commercial. They will perform their song "Sayonara Kizu Darake no Hibi yo" throughout the commercial which is shot in the wilderness. The two will be accompanied by model Leyna Kagami. (actually her name is "Reina" not "Leyna", but Japanese can choose their English names...)
Now that Pepsi's site has also been updated, you can watch the making of the commercial there. You will be able to hear more parts of the song - with singing, too. I have it right here for your convenience:

Information has surfaced on the Japanese Bulletin Board "2ch" that B'z will be in the next iteration of "Pepsi Nex" commercials. The Pepsi Nex renewal is set to March 1st, which will probably also mark the day when the commercial will be on air. It is unknown whether a new B'z song will be featured in the commercial or not. An official press release is expected for tomorrow. We will keep you updated, of course!
