What do you want to see/hear in the next single/album?

[Lebon14]

Yep, what do YOU want to see in the next single/album?

So, do you want to see a little photobook, an additional DVD, a poster, an autograph, a special packaging, an interview on paper (to be translated though), stickers, t-shirts, coupons, etc?

Also, do you want to hear instrumentals, remixes, hard rock, metal, etc?  Do you wish to see any other old songs remixed to the taste of 2009?

As for myself, I would like a poster, an autograph and, of course, the special packaging.  I would like to hear something catchy and hard since the two last new songs were ballads (Glory Days and Itsuka Mata Koko De).  Something like Giri Giri Chop or Kuroi Seishun.  Or maybe like Rock Man?  Ultra Soul?

Well, then, let's see what you think.

*hasn't had the time to finish his post*

hmmm  *thinking*

It would be nice, when B'z try again a new sound. I'm not sure in wich way, but it would be nice to hear a other genre, maybe 

And hm i doesn't want any special gift. Or maybe more photos?? 

[Lebon14]

May I add a t-shirt   It would be cool to have a nice t-shirt with a single/album.  I think it would sell more like that.

A new sound would be both good or bad.  Good if they go more "hard" as in Metal or Power Metal.  Bad if they go more pop, jazz or blues.  Also, I would shit on the ground if they go Eurobeat. XD

It hink they'll keep on rack and pop music.

But Jazz and blues would be good as well as rock.

They should some new summer hit like Splash! Or banzai.

But we'll see

[anjoschka178]

waaah never ever B'z and this-kind-of-noooo-music: Eurobeat. That is acoustic assoult 
Don't be mad at me Lebon, but what you listen too is no music and it is a insult for every musician...

@ontto: Yeah a sommer hit like Splash or Koi no Summer Session oder Ultra Soul would be great.

Do you know at least know what is Eurobeat and how it is produced?  You know, there can be a lot of electric guitars...
And, I know how to acknoledge that it will never happen.

[anjoschka178]

Hehe i'm listen to some Eurobeatsongs and it's the music i like. Whatever. Sorry.

A little Photobook would be great as a gift in the next album. Because i love Pictures from Koshi and Tak :-))

Not sure to understand you here... you listen to Eurobeat?  If so, what do you like?

[anjoschka178]

waaaah 
That was a mistake :-)
... and it's not the music i like 

[Nameo]

I'd like to see an album with very few singles. They've been putting out safe, boring singles since Splash, and those are the tracks I usually skip. This album, I feel, needs to show B'z diversifying their sound. In a sense, Action did that. I'd like to see Tak try out a more retro-sounding track, in the vein of Theme of Travelling Men, but focusing more on trying to make the song all it can be. Of course, the hard rock needs to be there, but I feel that Tak has a great deal of blues and jazz influence that he hasn't used to its fullest in a long time.

On Koshi's side, I feel that he should try to mix his old and new singing styles. By doing this, he can retain his edge and unique timbre while still trying to hit and sustain notes. I think maybe bringing in a new producer could allow the band to have a fresh outlook on the new album. Spending a bit more time on mixing would help, as well (Kuroi Seishun's mix is awful).

As far as band members, switching it up would be nice. I'd love to see Jeremy Colson drum on the entire album. I feel that he has better dynamics than Shane, and has a fantastic groove that I haven't heard out of Shane since the Circle. I worry that Shane has become such a part of the B'z family, however, that it would be somewhat difficult to take him out of the sound. As Tak doesn't write particularly interesting basslines, anyone would do in that department. I'd like to see them get someone who could start to create those basslines, however. This album REALLY needs to bring out the keyboards more. It seems that they've been fading gradually in prominence since Loose, and have only now started to come back again. This is where mixing, writing, and performance are crucial. Tak needs to write those parts in, if they fit. The mixer needs to not allow them (especially when they are just static chords or pads) to get completely buried in the mix when they have something to contribute. I'd love for Takanobu Masuda to add his flair to the album.

[anjoschka178]

Wah i love Shane. B'z without Shane feels weird 
A more jazzy or bluesy one would be great. My fav album is 7th blues and i love the B'z-time around that.

It's really hard to discribe what i want to hear from B'z. BUt i think the would do again a great job. And i hope the go on with there work and don't think about finished that B'z-thing!!

[rosejay0918]

If we hear  something catchy and hard since the two last new songs were ballads it takes in happy moments.

hehe i think DIVE is exactly what i want to hear from B'z 

[Chi1992]

Well, I know the topic started before release of Magic, but there is still next album to think about so we can continue XD

I'm interested why they played Love is Dead on Ain't no Magic performance I really liked it and I wouldn't mind if they record a new version to their new CD Especially because of the new sounds in intro and in guitar solo

And I want a ballad similar to Eien no Tsubasa. Just because. And i know that if it come true Lebon would kill me =P

About goods... I want tickets for Live Gym inside XDDD

[Lebon14]

I think that Magic and Big Machine are what I'm most interrested to hear from B'z.  That won't change until my tastes changes
