B’z LIVE-GYM Pleasure 2018 -HINOTORI- Setlist (09.09.2018)

News

B’z continues their latest tour B’z LIVE-GYM Pleasure 2018 -HINOTORI- with three dates in Aichi Prefecture’s Toyota Stadium.

On the first day (September 6) of the Toyota Stadium performance, one song in the encore portion was cut. Vocalist Koshi Inaba apologized on stage, stating “I’m sorry I’m not in perfect condition”. On the second day (September 8), a total of three songs were cut. While on the third day (September 9), two songs were revived with only song cut again.

The full setlist for today’s performance along with changes to the setlist is posted below, to avoid spoilers for those attending the shows, along with tallies on when each song was last played live. In addition, notes are also included on changes to the setlists for the three performances this week.

September 6 (Thursday) changes:

• Album track “Koubou” is revived, while the encore performance of “Ai no Bakudan” has been cut. B’z Party members were originally selected for inclusion in this song, although it was announced to them earlier that this would not take place.
• Guitarist Tak Matsumoto was in charge of the rap portion of “ZERO“, reading from the lyrics card included in the original 8cm single release of “ZERO”.
• Vocalist Koshi Inaba apologized to the audience, before the regular setlist’s last song “Pleasure 2018 ~Jinsei no Kairaku~“.

September 8 (Saturday) changes:

• “Koubou“, “Ichibu to Zenbu” and “girigiri chop” were cut from the setlist.
• B’z Party members appeared on stage for the song “Pleasure 2018 ~Jinsei no Kairaku~” instead of “girigiri chop“.

September 9 (Sunday) changes:

• “Koubou” is revived once again, with only “Ichibu to Zenbu” being cut.
• “girigiri chop” was performed today, instead of “Ai no Bakudan“.
• Similar to the performances in Nissan Stadium on August 5 and Fukuoka Yahuoku! Dome on September 2, the rap portion of “ZERO” featured Ryuichi Kosugi from Japanese comedy duo BLACK MAYONNAISE on vocals, dressed as a security guard.
• “ALONE” was selected for inclusion on all dates of Toyota Stadium. Calling and OCEAN have not appeared on the setlists since late August.
