Get to Know the B'z

I lived in Japan for a brief period of time. My entire life has a soundtrack, so it only follows that my experience as a student in Japan had one as well. I loved the B'z and Kome Kome Club. There were some others that I really liked, but in Japan, all bands have wacky-ass names. I could say I love the group, Peanuts on Toast, and that might have very well be a band. Anyway, please watch this clip from the B'z. The band is AMAZING. I saw them in concert when I lived in Chiba, Japan. It was about the same time this song came out. The harmonica action on this track rocks...No matter what language you speak. But the real rocking out comes about 2:45 in, if you don't feel like waiting. It's good stuff.



The lyrics...Just in case you were in the mood to try and speak Japanese...

Let me go medara ni tsuzuku nureta highway to your home
Don't stop, fumeba subete lock shite iki sou
I'm too hot, konna ni mo atsui engine ochitsukaseruno wa
Tada hitotsu suikomare souna kimi no mune dake dayo
Aite ga ki ni naru yoru no naga denwa ga
Boku wo hashiraseteru
Oh! Girl mada mada kimi wo hanashitakunai
Akuseru yurumenai de mou sugu ai ni iku yo
Last year natsu wa chigatta yo futari ima to gyaku datta ne
Gigolo no yoyuu mo ima ja sukoshi aseri ni kawatteru
Kimi ni nomerikonderu jibun ni ima yatto kizuita yo
Oh! Girl, mada mada hoka no yatsu wa me jyanai
Kimi e no omoi nara dare ni mo makenai kara
Keep on my girl, mada mada futari dake no stage de
Atarashii love song utau yo nan do demo
I'm never gonna leave you
Every night ironna otoko ni itsumo sasowareru dake sasowarete
Tsuite ikanai kimi ga ichiban suki da yo
Oh! Girl, mada mada hoka no yatsu wa me jyanai
Kimi e no omoi nara dare ni mo makenai kara
Keep on my girl, mada mada futari dake no stage de
Atarashi love song utau yo nan do demo
I'm never gonna leave you!

Tak Matsumoto & Koshi Inaba make up the group B'z
