One of my favorite bands ever - but I guess I don't really need to say it. I was watching clips of Live Gym footage that I got with one of the albums; so cool, wish I could go to one. And I wish I could join their fanclub too, because they have so much cool stuff. -sigh- Tak and Koshi are so beautiful -especially when they both had long hair way back when. T_T

Koshi also has a new album being released for his solo project. . . I believe.

Um, yeah . . . because we can all totally read Japanese.

[saishuu 3220]

It's regarding Koshi's upcoming solo album, "Hadou", which is coming out on August 18th. Includes 15 songs and the limited edition comes with a DVD with all his PVs (except for "Okay").

I'm personally really looking forward to this. Might as well purchase the limited edition - 15 songs with 11 music videos are worth giving away 3,990 yen for.

[Number Girl 48]

Thanks for that saishuuu. . . and that does sound like a pretty nice deal. I didn't realize Koshi's solo catalog was so extensive. Maybe I DO need to start listening to some of it . . . xD

[saishuu 3220]

His solo career is pretty much overshadowed by B'z itself - not as much as Tak's solo and collaborative stuff, though, but you don't see Koshi having hits and other hits as B'z. But he does have some pretty interesting stuff and has already released quite a few singles, not to mention three solo albums between 1997 and 2004.

Maybe you can give his solo career a chance with this new album. 'Okay' was very good (the entire single really) and I'm sure there'll be more of his acoustic and laid-back sound in it (at least I hope so, considering it has fifteen songs).

[Number Girl 48]

For anyone who has some extra money to spare: the 2010 Live Gym is coming out soon. The cover is amazing, I'd get it just for that alone. O.o

[saishuu 3220]

Tak won his first Grammy today for his collaboration with Larry Carlton!

[Number Girl 48]

I'm so proud of him!!! T____T

Can't wait for the spring single!
