“They’re back…” is what you see when you visit B’z Official Website. And they really are! Here’s the new release from B’z called “Sayonara Kizu Darake no Hibi yo” which means “Goodbye painful days” or if you translate it literally “Goodbye days full of wounds”. As previously reported, the song is going to be a tie-up for the new Pepsi Nex commercial which will start airing on March 1st, 2011.

The second track will be called “Dawn Runner”. Just like last time with MY LONELY TOWN, the limited edition will come with a DVD that contains the music video for “Sayonara Kizu Darake no Hibi yo”. The price will be 1470 Yen for the limited edition and 1050 Yen for the regular edition.

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!

Yoshimi Yuko tweets that she congatulated Tak Matsumoto for the Grammy Award he received on sunday. Matsumoto then went on and replied: “Thank you. Yesterday has been a long day, but it is a day I will not forget for the rest of my life.” Now here is the important part: “Right now I’m in the middle of recording in our studio in LA”

Looks like B’z is heavily working on a new album for this year. According to a tweet by Masuda Takanobu, the new single should be out during the cherry blossom season, which begins around end of March. Expect some announcements to be made soon!

The end of the year is drawing near, so it’s the right time for some charts 🙂

The only B’z release this year, B’z LIVE-GYM 2010 ‘Ain’t No Magic’ at TOKYO DOME, with 127.000 copies is at #25 of  Oricon’s dvd ranking (I’d be curious to see the Blu Ray ranking).

Inaba gets #38 in album’s ranking with Hadou (177.984 copies) and #45 in single’s ranking with Okay (134.381).
Unfortunately, Take your pick didn’t make it to the top 50.

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!
