[font=Helvetica]B'z 23rd Anniversary Live Compilation Album II[/font]

For more information on this project and download links for the first installment, please see [b]this post.[/b]

Here we are again, and this time we have quite a few rarities included. Some of these I am certain a great majority of listeners will have never even heard before, much less knew existed.

This time around, I am only posting the unlabeled version first, meaning no songs are labeled within the archive and everything is as if you were at the concert and had no idea what the setlist was to bring. Later tonight or tomorrow, I'll get the original version up and then will explain why I chose what songs I did for both this one and the first. This will be the last of these, so get hype!

UPDATE! Both versions are now available! Enjoy!

Today is September 23rd, which means...

It's Koshi's birthday!

The B'z singer often referred to by fangirls (and boys) during concerts as "INAAAAAAABBAAAAAA-SAAAAAANNNNNNN!" turns 47 today.

You probably just had to do a double take. That's right! FORTY-SEVEN! Koshi was just two days from turning 24 years old when B'z released their debut album all those years ago.

But, Koshi is perhaps noteworthy as more than just just half of B'z. I believe he may have also uncovered the fountain of youth.



One of those pictures is from 1995--sixteen years ago. The other is from 2011.

This may well be a case for Conan himself.

I know which is the 1995 and which is the 2011

If you followed L.A show then, oh well ... understandable

A Japanese friend of mine and fellow B'z fan studying here in the U.S. at the moment saw this in one of his textbooks recently. Is it a sign--!?

So BZ is U^2?  ->  B'z = U2

Whoa

[red.orchid]

Oh wow ... th-that must be Math.

Tak will be featured on Anna Tsuchiya's upcoming collaboration album.

There are only a few shows left in the arena portion of the C'mon tour. Then, there will be a one month break before the big dome tour kicks off.

TAK-san!

Same. Classy commercial. If we had Pepsi NEX over here, I'd totally buy it.

Itsuka no Merry Christmas is being played live for the first time in six years (last performed on the Christmas edition of Music Station in 2005), and in fact, it's the first time it's been played during a LIVE-GYM since 2003. The song has only been played at LIVE-GYMs a total of five times, ever, before today: December 24th and 25th of the 1994 tour, and December 20th, 24th, and 25th of the BIG MACHINE tour back in 2003. The good news? When C'mon is released on DVD, we'll finally have a DVD performance of the song! Hype!
