J-Pop Being Rock

Released as B’z approach their fifteenth anniversary, their thirteenth original album concentrates the sound built from Tak Matsumoto’s melodies and guitar, and Koshi Inaba’s distinctive lyrical world and vocals.

With Shane Gaalaas and Brian Tichy on drums and Akihito Tokunaga on bass, the performances have the immediacy of live instruments and a vigorous new energy.

Alongside the hit singles IT’S SHOWTIME!! and Yasei no ENERGY are the long-awaited first CD appearance of WAKE UP, RIGHT NOW, used for Asahi Super Dry, Hakanai Diamond with its NBA tie-in, and CHANGE THE FUTURE, the theme for NHK BS2’s anime Zentrix. IT’S SHOWTIME!!, the TV Asahi sports theme, continued the group’s run of thirty-one consecutive singles entering Oricon at number one.

The exhilarating rush of opening number Arakure and the title song Big Machine lead a selection of new songs that are both pop and rock. It is an album to play at full volume.
