Like anjoschka suggested, we open a topic about our ideas of collaborations between B'z and other artists from the world, and why not from Japan too.
Here what we said:
Pierro:
"Then, I dream of an oppening to the world. Like what Matsumoto did in his "Hit Parade" with Japanese female singers, but this time B'z with singers and musicians from the all world. An art of invitation. Of course there would be Aerosmith, but why not crasy combinations like B'z with Bjrk (she's always singing in Japan, why not with the biggest band of the country?) or Chris Martin from Coldplay? (I like the idea of Koshi and Martin singing together) (Coldplay played with SMAP, they can do better than that!)
Can you imagine some combinations?"
anjoschka:
"That sounds interessting.
Maybe we open a thread for that? :-)
Coldplay sounds good. I think about Maroon 5. Because after the cover of This Love i think they would do a good job together...
With Aerosmith they played together in Japan around 2002 (?).
Hm i dislike Bjrk. I can't listen to her music. For me it's too hm how could i say that: abstract
Bon Jovi could be great too.
Do you know the song Asian Sky from Steve Vai? Koshi sings and Tak play the guitar togehter with Steve. That was a great job. I love that song"
Pierro (now): Well, I admit I like very much Bjrk, and when I think of B'z with Bjrk, I don't think of her music, but of her voice. That's why I think more about singers than about bands playing with B'z. But, rock bands like Aerosmith are perfect with B'z. Yes, they played together in 2002, just before the football world cup final in Yokohama!
You're right about Steve Vai! They should invite him in return! He's a good friend of them: "Asian Sky", the induction in Los Angeles, he was there!
But, I don't see any limit, why not with jazz musicians, classical musicians? (Tak dit it solo) Music is the world language, why not with piano player Mitsuko Uchida?
Ahah crazy project! But dreaming is good!
What do you think? Who could play with B'z?
