I won't let you say goodbye.

In graduation season, this song blows away the sadness of parting and fills you with positivity.

Although it’s not a single but an album track by the hugely popular B’z, it has long been cherished by fans as a classic.

The lyrics, which refuse to make parting permanent and convey a strong will that “we’ll meet again,” resonate deeply, carried by Tak Matsumoto’s melodies and Koshi Inaba’s powerful vocals.

Included on the album RUN, released in October 1992, it even ranked 8th in a 2008 fan poll—proof of its enduring popularity.

It’s not just for quiet reflection; when you want to move on to the next stage with your friends, smiling, this is the perfect song to sing your heart out to!

CallingB’z25rank/position

B’z Live from AVACO STUDIO “Calling”

The 22nd single by the rock duo B’z, who have broken numerous records in CD sales and continue to assert their presence through energetic live tours.

This song was used as the theme for the TV drama series “Glass Mask,” and it also garnered attention in 2021 when a studio live video was released during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The emotional guitar solo that interplays with the vocals like a call-and-response is striking for its Takahiro Matsumoto–esque tone, which relies not only on techniques like fast picking.

The seemingly free-flowing, emotion-driven phrases elevate the track, making it a rock number that would be difficult to perfectly replicate.

BLOWIN’

Known as an up-tempo pop-rock number, this song was released in May 1992 as B’z’s 10th single.

Its lyrics, using wind as a motif, portray change, growth, and a yearning for freedom, and are distinguished by the seamless fusion of Inaba’s powerful vocals with Matsumoto’s memorable guitar sound.

It was also featured in a Calbee “Potato Chips” commercial, bringing it recognition across a wide audience.

With crowd-pleasing moments like sound effects before the chorus and call-and-response at the end, it’s guaranteed to get people excited at live shows and in karaoke.

The vocal range isn’t particularly wide and the melody is easy to remember, making it a great choice for those trying B’z for the first time.

How about singing it with a positive mindset as a cheer for young people facing challenges?
