Martin, I think your forgot or didn't know something. B'z is the only artist on Vermillion Records. They are pretty much free to do what they want to do unlike artists on big labels like Avex, Universal, Sony, etc.
Maybe B'z were asked on 5 newspaper but who knows if they'll ask the exact same question? If two wallpapers ask the same question but get different answer on both, then, you can say what you said. But, as far as I know, it didn't happen.
Though it's nice to thank the people who helped. Hello. We helped too. You know, that continent? That Europe one? Hello? *waves arms*
You know what? When I learned that B'z was gonna play this Summer in the US and saw that there were no shows on the Eastern side of N.A, do you know how I felt? Pretty much like you... But when we learn there was a stream for everyone, then, at least I was satisfied.
