Next month B’z will release their long-awaited twenty-first studio album with the title NEW LOVE.

Notably, Robert Deleo of Stone Temple Pilots returns on bass after first aiding on three songs in 2007 while Joe Perry of Aerosmith is to be featured on album song “Rain & Dream”.

NEW LOVE will be released on May 29, 2019 in three SKUs: a CD-only version for 3,200 yen, a CD+T-shirt edition for 3,900 yen and a vinyl release for 5,000 yen.

Track Listing

The thirteen track album includes four tie-in tracks that began airing from late last year. “Tsuwamono, Hashiru” can be heard in a Rugby World Cup ad, “WOLF” is featured in the Japanese remake of drama SUITS (in both its original rock form and a ballad version), “Deus” in the Suzuki Escudo commercial and “Majestic” continues to be used in a series of Pocky promotional vignettes. A music video for “My New Love” or possibly other album songs should be expected, by precedent, within the next few weeks.
