Uchouten will be great on stage.

You can hear a minute of Uchouten here in a drama promotional video that's aired during the news recently:

On a side note: The band's special performance on Live Monster has already been recorded but it's not scheduled to air until January 18th. Some rumors stated they played 8 songs and another person said 4, but I suspect they'll play 2 like most others that have appeared on the show.

Here's the new Uchouten commercial that aired during Conan:

There are some things going on behind the scenes of the wiki right now that should be quite nice for modernizing the lyrics sections.

Take a look at the new version of Ai no Bakudan's lyric page to see what I mean.

We'll be implementing this site-wide in time, but we're still ironing out some code to make sure it displays well on all browsers and platforms. Throw out any ideas you may have to help ease readability and I'll see that it's added to the list of possible implementations.

Also, in case you hadn't seen, the B'z Wiki now has an Uchouten-inspired logo:

(If you miss the old ones, they'll always be archived on the wiki's About page)

I like the new layout
Readability is great!

Could you try to have the two coloms have a little space towards the middle? Like centering it in their own section ?

I updatet the Tak Matsumoto article on the B'z Wiki. It features some pictures of his Signature Gibsons

Uchouten is a great song - I have to wait for the CD (Youtube sound is creepy).

Live-Show streaming well they offer that for some Live-Gyms (Personally I like collecting the BluRays - but good streams would be appreciated)

I have something comming up during this weeks - I am running tests right now (It's regarding the B'z wiki)
Just a quick check who uses "Amarok" as a Music-Player?

Okay Tak is playing his Firebird Prototype (This one has to become the real deal --- it's just such a nice to play guitar)

Merry Christmas, B'z Army!

This video has really been making the rounds lately; everybody that's into B'z has linked me to it the past few days. Really a great performance! We really need more acoustic B'z stuff.

As for the upcoming TV performances, we'll be making sure to record them. If you don't catch them live via streaming or something, you'll definitely have a chance to watch them shortly afterward. Just a bit longer to the Music Station show on the 26th, on that note. We know Uchouten will be played, but if they add a second, there's no info as to what it could be. Time shall tell!

Is there a chance that Uchouten could be Detective Conan 40th opening ? That would be great.

Hmmmmmm, since it was already announced for a new drama series (Gakkou no Kaidan), I wouldn't expect that, but it is possible that a second single from the album could do so. We only know that the tour is starting in March thus far and that the album could come out right before or during the tour.

It bears noting that back in 2006, the MONSTER'S GARAGE tour started a week after the album came out. CIRCLE OF ROCK and THE CIRCLE shared a similar release schedule, so maybe we're looking at that sort of thing again. The 7th Blues back in 1994 came out one month after the related tour began, too, though. It's always possible the album will come out a little while into the tour, but I wouldn't expect that, personally.

I would watch over all of these dates for possible album/single releases:

February 4th
February 11th
February 18th
February 25th
March 4th
March 11th <---Tour begins
March 18th
March 25th

B'z are back on Music Station, finally! Here are some quick screencaps of their appearance, on which they played the new single "Uchouten" in full. Stay tuned for a full translation of the appearance in roughly a day or so!
