This song, released in March 2001 as the 31st single by B’z, one of Japan’s leading rock units, has long been cherished as the theme for TV Asahi’s World Aquatics Championships broadcasts and is widely known across generations as a number that symbolizes the spirit of major sporting events.
Koshi Inaba’s powerful vocals and Takahiro Matsumoto’s guitar sound intertwine exquisitely, and the driving melody sets listeners’ hearts ablaze.
The shouted call at the end of the chorus delivers an overwhelming surge of excitement that makes anyone want to thrust a fist into the air, and if you sing it at a welcome party karaoke, it’s guaranteed to bring the whole venue together in a burst of energy.
Someday Merry ChristmasB’z2rank/position
As a classic Christmas song, just the music-box tones in the intro are enough to make many hearts flutter.
A timeless ballad whose wistful lyrics and melody sink deep into the soul, B’z’s “Itsuka no Merry Christmas.” In fact, this track isn’t a single; it was included on the mini-album FRIENDS, released in December 1992.
Even so, it boasts immense popularity, ranking sixth in the fan vote for the 1998 best-of album B’z The Best “Treasure.” Many people have likely heard it through numerous tie-ins, such as serving as the theme song for TBS’s “Koisuru Hanikami!” and as an insert song in films.
Its story-like world, where scenes of happiness intertwine with a bittersweet farewell, brings tears no matter how many times you listen.
If it popped up on YouTube Shorts and made you feel nostalgic, make sure to listen to the full track this winter and let yourself be immersed.

It was the theme song for the TBS drama “Beautiful Life: The Days We Spent Together,” and the CD jacket photo was apparently shot from a wheelchair’s perspective to match the show’s content.
It’s a dramatic slow rock number where Inaba’s poignancy and power coexist.
The song’s overall vocal range is G3–B4, and since the highest notes appear frequently in the chorus, stamina is essential—so it’s recommended for those who are good with high notes.
As the song progresses, you may find it harder to lock onto the pitch bar, but if you keep your eyebrows raised and project your voice far with energetic delivery, it should start to click!
As I love you selfishly, I won’t hurt anyone but you.B’z4rank/position
A landmark track by B’z where Koshi Inaba’s passionate vocals intertwine with Takahiro Matsumoto’s brilliant guitar riffs.
It’s an irresistible, glittering yet powerful sound that epitomizes Being, the label that dominated the music scene of the ’90s.
The famously long title “Ai no mama ni wagamama ni boku wa kimi dake wo kizutsukenai” is, as Inaba himself puts it, the very embodiment of “the ultimate selfish song.” It superbly portrays a single-minded love that is a hair’s breadth away from intense possessiveness.
The vow “I won’t hurt anyone but you”—or literally, “I won’t hurt only you”—carries the dangerous implication that “everything else can be sacrificed,” and many listeners were likely shaken by that contradictory expression of love.
LOVE PHANTOMB’z5rank/position
B’z, the monster unit that has continued to lead Japan’s rock scene and rack up multiple million-sellers.
Their 18th single, released in October 1995, was chosen as the ending theme for Season 1 of the overseas drama The X-Files.
From its majestic intro—over a minute and twenty seconds of orchestra and operatic vocals—straight into a sudden avalanche of hard guitar riffs and a soaring chorus, the structure stood out as highly distinctive in the J-pop scene of the time.
The lyrics, swirling with themes of intense dependency in love, self-denial, and the urge to let everything go, make for a dramatic love song that powerfully shakes the listener’s heart.
The single posted an initial week of roughly 950,000 copies and went on to become a massive hit with cumulative sales exceeding 1.86 million.
It’s a rock tune recommended for anyone who wants to experience the essence of B’z—also famous for their live shows featuring high-altitude stage dives.
ALONEB’z6rank/position
A smash-hit single released in 1991.
Its abundance of long tones, the way the melody sustains, and Inaba’s vocal phrasing all make it a perfect song for practicing vibrato.
Compared to other B’z tracks, there isn’t much shouting, so it seems easier to sing straightforwardly without over-imitating.
The chorus is full of long tones, but instead of adding vibrato right away, it pairs well with the song to hold the note straight for about two seconds, then gently introduce a breathy vibrato.
Since it’s rock, be mindful of the vibrato width, too.
If it’s too wide, it starts to sound like enka-style kobushi; a moderate width—not too small, not too big—is best.
All or NothingB’z7rank/position
It’s a pop-rock track with a refreshing feel.
While singing about the difficulties of love and human relationships, it delivers a striking message about how wonderful it is to love even just a part of someone.
Released as a single in August 2009, it was also used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Buzzer Beat: Gakeppuchi no Hero.” It was B’z’s first theme song for a “Getsu9” drama.
The song topped the charts and became a million-selling hit.
It’s also easy to sing at karaoke, so why not give it a try? Mimicking Koshi Inaba’s expansive vocals might be challenging, but the medium tempo and singable melody are appealing, so you should be able to enjoy singing it without pressure.
