B’z / OCEAN

The majestic intro woven by piano and strings is enough to make your heart tremble, isn’t it? This is one of the finest ballads by B’z, one of Japan’s leading rock duos, released in August 2005 as their 39th single.

It was chosen as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Umizaru: UMIZARU EVOLUTION,” and its music video—filmed on the patrol vessel Mizuho—also drew attention.

The lyrics, which express a strong resolve to overcome any storm and set out on a new journey together with a loved one, stir the listener’s heart all the more when paired with Tak Matsumoto’s guitar.

For many in the yutori generation, it’s likely a classic that brings back memories of youth.

Take a moment to listen closely while thinking of your cherished partner or family.

Liar! Liar!B’z9rank/position

B’z / Liar! Liar!

This track seizes listeners’ hearts with its overwhelming guitar riffs and high-velocity sound.

Tak Matsumoto’s razor-sharp guitar work and Koshi Inaba’s powerful vocals blend beautifully, and the lyrics—offering a keen perspective on society—are equally compelling.

Released in October 1997 as the lead single from B’z’s ninth album, “SURVIVE,” it reached No.

1 on Oricon’s monthly chart.

It was also featured as the CM song for Perfect TV!’s “MUSIC FREAK TV” and served as the official theme for the NHL’s 1997 Japan Opening Series.

With its aggressive sound and strong message, this song is perfect for moments when you want to fire yourself up or stay true to your convictions.

Sun’s Komachi AngelB’z10rank/position

B'z / Komachi Angel of the Sun

B’z, the duo that has delivered numerous masterpieces.

While B’z is strongly associated with cool, rock-flavored tracks, they also have some slightly pop-leaning songs.

Among those, one of the most popular is surely “Taiyō no Komachi Angel.” The vocal range is mid2A to hiA—high, but relatively narrow overall.

If you adjust the key properly, you shouldn’t have trouble with vocal production.

It’s also a song everyone can sing together, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

B'z / Giri Giri Chop

B’z is a solitary rock unit that has continued to take on new challenges while honing their own style since their debut.

Their 26th single, “Giri Giri Chop,” used as a theme song for the TV anime Detective Conan, features a driving shuffle beat and aggressive guitar sound that really gets your adrenaline pumping.

It’s perfect for blowing off steam, but be careful when singing it at karaoke—the very high notes and powerful vocals it demands can be tough.

For those in their 30s who grew up with the anime, this rock tune is guaranteed to get the crowd going.

spring

As one of the rock units that represent Japan’s music scene, B’z has consistently stayed at the forefront.

Featured on their first double album, The 7th Blues, released in 1994, this song is a ballad draped in a heavy, heartrending atmosphere that departs from the typical image of spring.

Takahiro Matsumoto’s sobbing guitar and Koshi Inaba’s vocals conveying the anguish of a forbidden relationship tighten listeners’ chests.

As the seasons turn without a decision being made, the lyrics depict an irreversible situation—a bittersweetness that perhaps only adults can truly relate to.

Shining a light on a side of spring that isn’t all glamour, this masterpiece has remained steadfastly beloved.

When you want to immerse yourself in the poignant memories deep in your heart, why not listen closely to it?

MayB’z13rank/position

B’z / May

Caught between dreams and reality, thinking of a precious person I can no longer meet…

This is a heart-wrenching mid-tempo ballad by B’z.

Just calling out a name makes emotions surge from deep within—the protagonist’s aching longing will likely resonate with many who have had similar experiences.

Released in May 2000, the song debuted at No.

1 on the Oricon chart despite having no commercial tie-in.

It was later included on the album ELEVEN.

If there’s someone you can’t forget, this bittersweet yet beautiful melody is sure to move you.

I wanted to kiss you again.B’z14rank/position

I wanted to kiss you again.

This is a classic B’z ballad that portrays a heartrending love story between a man and a woman, set against the changing seasons from a summer meeting to a winter parting.

The lingering melancholy and Takahiro Matsumoto’s weeping guitar further deepen the sense of lingering regret and attachment.

Included on the album “IN THE LIFE,” released in November 1991, the song was initially a candidate to be released as a single, but was ultimately passed over because “ALONE,” which had a tie-in, was prioritized.

Even so, it remains extremely popular among fans, ranking 4th in the vote that determined the tracks for the best-of album “B’z The Best ‘Treasure’.” It’s the perfect song to sit with on a night when a fleeting moment brings back memories of a past love and tightens your chest.
