Nice commercial: Kirin Smirnoff Ice, Taishi Fushigami, ♪ B’z — “Full of Authenticity” version, 15s + 30s

It’s a song included on B’z’s 19th original album, released in 2015.

It was used in a commercial for Kirin’s “Smirnoff Ice” and was written specifically for the ad.

Takahiro Matsumoto, who composed the music, said it was easy to create because the tie-in requested a specific style—“a beat like this,” and so on.

Conversely, Koshi Inaba, who wrote the lyrics, said it was difficult because there were no requests regarding the words.

SIGNALB’z

SIGNAL – Tokimeki Memorial Girl’s Side / Tokimeki Memorial Girl’s Side Opening Song (With Lyrics) – B’z
SIGNALB'z

A track included on B’z’s 12th album, GREEN.

While the album as a whole leans toward pop, this song features a heavy use of programming.

When both people are busy, squeezing in moments to meet a lover feels exciting—but once you have more free time and can see each other anytime, doesn’t your guard drop a little? This song is a bittersweet ballad that captures the moment just before those feelings begin to fall out of sync.

Still AliveB’z

This song, included on B’z’s double A-side single released on June 14, 2017, was specially written as the ending theme for the TBS television drama “A LIFE: Itoshiki Hito.” It reached No.

4 on the Oricon monthly chart.

Many of you may already be familiar with it.

FRIDAY MIDNIGHT BLUEB’z

Some people feel flower Friday, the fun Friday, like this, don’t they? They probably got the hint from a conversation with a taxi driver.

On this particular Friday, the feeling behind “I want to go home early” was a bit different—so it’s “FRIDAY MIDNIGHT BLUE.”

B’z / The World Will Take On Your Colors (Theme song for the feature film “Detective Conan: The Darkest Nightmare”)
The world will become your color.B'z

It’s the opening theme for the 20th Detective Conan anime film, “Detective Conan: The Darkest Nightmare,” from the nationally beloved mystery manga Detective Conan.

An exceptional box-office hit even among Conan movies, this film stands out from the series’ usually bright tone with intense action and a darker atmosphere.

The lyrics incorporate the film’s central theme of “color,” which will likely resonate with those who’ve seen it.

And since it’s a track by the hugely popular band B’z, it’s fun to sing at karaoke even if you’re not a Conan fan.

Happy BirthdayB’z

B’z / Happy Birthday【B’z LIVE-GYM 2006 “MONSTER’S GARAGE”】[SOUND ONLY]
Happy BirthdayB'z

It’s B’z’s first birthday song, included on the album MONSTER released in 2006.

Prior to its release, it was performed at B’z LIVE-GYM 2005 “CIRCLE OF ROCK” in 2005.

VAMPIRE WOMANB’z

A track included on the 1990 album “RISKY.” The title immediately evokes Halloween.

The song expresses the feelings of a man who becomes completely enthralled, as if drawn in by a woman.

Unusually for them, it has a techno-tinged disco sound.

I think it’s a very comfortable sound for a Halloween dance tune for people in their 40s.
