The B'z Hype Topic! (New Single "RED" On Sale Now!!)

[Jd-]

The news is indeed true!

GET HYPE!



Finally, the news we've been waiting for: English B'z, coming very soon! I'll sum up what's known so far, after borrowing Orchid's stars, because they are lovely!

★ "Into Free -Dangan-" is the English version of the 1998 hit B'z single "Samayoeru Aoi Dangan".
★ The English version of this song was first heard during B'z LIVE-GYM 2011 long time no see in North America.
★ The version used in the the trailer is a portion of the song, with the second verse and second chorus not being present due to time constraints.
★ Staple support member and frequent B'z drummer Shane Gaalaas assisted Koshi with the English lyrics [size=80](Note: Shane and Koshi have been giving each other language lessons since practically the day Shane joined the band). This year will also mark Shane's tenth anniversary with B'z--he has been their sole drummer on tour for nearly a decade, and is the only support member apart from keyboardist Takanobu Masuda to still be running such a long streak with the guys.
★ The official site goes out of its way to note that future release details are forthcoming. Since a single release date was not announced, that more than likely means we will be seeing the song released as a B-side for whatever B'z has been planning with Pepsi NEX, or that it will be released with other English songs in an English compilation album. Time shall tell!

And, best of all...

★ "Into Free -Dangan-" will be the theme to ALL versions of Dragon's Dogma, for ALL localizations. B'z global domination... START!

That's such great news! I'm really looking forward to reading further announcements. As for B'z breaking through worldwide, I really hope they'll try. Leaving the stage without even having made an attempt would be a pitty.

HYPE INCOMING

Within the next two'ish weeks, we should be hearing a new announcement from B'z tied to the renewal of the Pepsi NEX promotion. This time around, it seems to be to promote Pepsi NEX ZERO as evidenced by the leaked promotional materials found below that Tobias alerted me to:



[spoiler=Two more images]

[/spoiler]

The question now is whether this will just be B'z promoting Pepsi NEX ZERO with an old song (maaaaaybe this one?) or if it will be used as promotion for a new single.
