With its crystal-clear melody and refreshing riffs, this track stands out among B’z’s many works for its especially pleasant sense of coolness.

The lyrics, which depict summer scenes through B’z’s unique sensibility, make it feel as if you can recreate a seaside moment right in a karaoke box.

Released in August 2005, the song drew major attention as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Umizaru UMIZARU EVOLUTION.” Packed with catchy phrases, it’s sure to make karaoke even more fun.

Barefoot GoddessB’z

A host of standout songs represent B’z in Japan’s rock scene.

Among them, this track is a refreshing number themed around encouraging and renewing a heartbroken woman.

It powerfully portrays a woman who, despite deep sorrow, strives to live positively.

Released in June 1993, it topped the Oricon charts for two consecutive weeks and achieved the remarkable feat of becoming their sixth consecutive million-seller.

It was also used in a Toyota “Corolla Levin” commercial, making it popular across a wide audience.

It’s a karaoke favorite too, though many might hesitate at Inaba’s high-tone vocals.

But don’t worry—the chorus melody is easy to remember, and the lyrics are highly relatable, so if you sing it with feeling, you’ll pull it off in style.

I won't let you say goodbye.B’z

This timeless masterpiece is a bittersweet farewell song that somehow brims with hope.

Using a university graduation ceremony as its motif, the lyrics strikingly transform the sadness of parting into a forward-looking sentiment.

Reflecting Inaba’s personal experiences, it symbolizes the end of youth and the start of something new.

The track was included on the album RUN, released in October 1992.

It topped the Oricon album charts and became one of the definitive songs on the landmark record that cemented B’z’s popularity.

When singing it at karaoke, the high notes in the chorus may feel challenging, but conveying your emotions is enough to bring out its appeal.

It’s a moving piece you’ll want to hear during farewells with friends or at moments of new beginnings.

The guitar is crying.B’z

Among the many ballads released by B’z, one of Japan’s premier rock duos, this is the standout track when it comes to portraying the unique relationship between the live stage and its fans.

Featured on their third album, “BREAK THROUGH,” released in February 1990, the song runs over six minutes, yet Takahiro Matsumoto’s soulful, weeping guitar and Koshi Inaba’s heartrending vocals blend beautifully.

Its innovative concept—of a musician on stage secretly harboring feelings for a woman in the audience—captured the hearts of many listeners and has earned the song a reputation as a hidden gem among fans.

For karaoke, it’s also recommended for first-time B’z challengers, as the vocal range is relatively restrained compared to Inaba’s usual high notes.

If you convey the pain of unrequited love with rich emotion over the relaxed tempo, the room is sure to be moved.

Fly the FlagB’z

This work depicts forging ahead under your own flag in a life that can feel like a solitary voyage.

Set to B’z’s characteristically powerful sound, Koshi Inaba’s vocals resonate deeply with listeners.

Included on the 2005 album THE CIRCLE, this song is perfect for those who feel lost in life and are on the verge of losing confidence.

For a B’z track, the overall melodic range is relatively modest, and it doesn’t feature Inaba’s trademark piercing high notes, making it comparatively easy to sing.

It’s a hidden gem—choose it at karaoke and you can show off your great taste!
