[edit] Album Information

The album is the only double album released by the band. The first disc contains the pop-rock style songs that B'z built their career on. Notable tracks include "Love is Dead," which is very jazz oriented; "Strings of My Soul", an instrumental song that Tak performed during previous Live-Gyms; and Akai Kawa, which features a lengthy string and keyboard introduction. The second disc bases itself more on hard rock riffs and bluesy songs. Notable songs include "Jap the Ripper," a previously unreleased song that was played during the '93 Live-Gym tour; "Slave to the Night," a re-recording of "Heart wo Nureru Number" from the band's debut album with rewritten English lyrics; and "Lady Navigation," a bluesy acoustic version of the 1991 single with all English lyrics. Tak also experiments with sitars on some songs. The catalog code for this album is BMCR-6601-2

The album sold broke the million copies mark with over 1,049,900 copies sold in its first week and eventually sold over 1,630,450 copies in total.
