Second'd motion. I can understand girigiri chop taking you by surprise, but ONE and Everlasting? C'mon! Shoudou and Everlasting are amazing as well (as good as I think girigiri is). Don't forget Overture, either (the singer did it solo).

In fact, here's a RAR with 17 of the best B'z songs. Direct download and all. Most of these songs are the more upbeat ones, but I find that those are the best introductory songs. How anyone cannot like B'z at least for ten of their songs is beyond me. I mean, B'z is legendary in every way; we're talking about the #1 Japanese band (85,000,000 sold) and the only Asians to be on the Rock Walk of Fame (in Hollywood). Give 'em a real try, at least :P.

Point taken. The only reason I don't take a particular liking to them is because I'm not a keen fan of Rock (except very, very select few songs.. by which I can name like 3 if I tried hard enough).  But thank you for the link. Maybe I'll get addicted soon enough, yes? I love music so it might happen :D.

I like many of the DC singers like Saegusa Yuuka, Kuraki Mai or Takei Shiori, especially Komatsu Miho!!!

But my favourite is Utada Hikaru! I just love her songs especially "Flavor of Life"! ^.^b

I don't know if anyone will want this, but I had a B'z concert avi sitting on my HDD and thought I'd upload it in case anyone didn't already have it.  I got this off of the internet a while back, though I don't remember where.  It is unfortunately left audio only (mono).  Also, the resolution is pretty bad.  It has a lot of songs, though.  http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Z0F2JKLW

Quick question.. Is it pronounced Beez or Bee-zee? Basically.. do you pronounce them at the same time slurred together or separate.

I like Asian Kung Fu Generation, but not my favorite.  I'd have to say mine is The Pillows, I fell in love with their music after watching FLCL my other being FLOW.
