B’z / LADY NAVIGATION

B’z’s 8th single, featuring a digital beat perfect for summer drives and catchy English phrases, leaves a lasting impression.

Released in 1991, the song was written for Kanebo Cosmetics’ summer campaign.

Many people may remember the commercial starring Maki Mizuno.

The fusion of programmed sounds and sharp guitar cutting felt cutting-edge at the time.

Its urban perspective on a woman striding briskly along the seaside is also captivating.

Us, as always

A song notable for its warm acoustic guitar tone, the rhythm of the tambourine, and Koshi Inaba’s gentle vocals.

Within its relaxed atmosphere, the lyrics—singing of the importance of staying true to yourself—resonate deeply.

Included on the album “IN THE LIFE,” released in November 1991, this piece runs a brief 1 minute and 44 seconds, yet brims with a soothing charm that comforts the listener.

In karaoke, it’s relatively easy to sing because it features fewer of Inaba’s high notes.

With its laid-back tempo, it’s a track anyone can enjoy—even those who aren’t B’z fans—by honestly expressing their own feelings.

It’s a heartwarming song you’ll want to hear when you’re worn out by daily life or feel like you’re losing sight of yourself.
