allright my review would be really short
because all in english... no i have not the time for that 

Junjou Action: It's really ingenious. A perfect opener. I start my CD Player with the CD and i turn the volume on at this track 

Kuroi Seishun: The beginning of the song is really great. And the change to the song is super 

Super Love Song: We talk about it, so it's still one of my favorites   

Mangetsu Yo Terase: It's a nice ballad, but i think nothing special... 

Perfect Life: I really love this song (and the PV  )

Isshinfuran: I LOVE this song. I want to understand what he is singing about :-)

Friction -Lap2-: Yeah you are right it's a totally different song for me too. When the audition was on the official website i didn't hear a different, but now when i listen to the whole song, i hear the differents too. Thats really rare 

One On One: I like this one too. Again one of my favorites. I love the different music styles in the song.

Boku Ni Wa Kimi Ga Iru: This song is to melt. For me one of the best ballads B'z ever made. I listen to this song the most 

Nanto Iu Shiawase: Ha the sound reminds me of some 007-Song (at the beginning) :-) But i like it too :-) The arrangemend of the song is still great.

Warui Yume: When i heard of the song title i think about a ballad. This suprise me a little bit :-) But i like the song. I like it when Koshi is anger his voice. And i like the sinple arrangemends of the instruments...

Hometown Boys' March: I love the title  And i love this song. I think live would this song be one of the best. You can jump, dance, sing and be happy  yeah clap your hands  and at the end some military march 

Koubou: The beginning sounds like some renaissance music  But it's again a really great ballad. Awesome 

Theme No Travelling Men: I can't understand why the most dislike this one. I like the music  And the ending is 

Ore To Omae No Atarashii Kisetsu: I said it before i like this song. So what did i have to say else?

Eien no Tsubasa: Really a wonderful ballad. I want to see the movie 

BUDDY: I think it's sounds a little bit (from the music) like one of Koshi's Solo songs. But it's a nice song. Not really special for me but still ok  The guitar solo is really nice



And the result:
I think it's a experimental album from B'z. They try a lot new or old and put it in one album. So it's a really great and awesome album and it's satisfy to the album title.
So what else i have to say?
BUY IT it's a MUST HAVE this year

Okay a redo of my Review. Expect near all around good things here.

1.Junjou Action (10) Great lyrics. As I said before it really opens the album perfectly. The ACTION shouts in the beginning and the ones in the middle really seal it.

2.Kuroi Seishun (10) This is the 'Headbanger' of the album. The hard rock song from every album that never disappoints. The part in the middle 'daremo shiranai jibun dake de shisa koi'(not perfect i know). That part seals it for me, more so than the ending scream.

3.Super Love Song (9) This song took me a while to completely get into, but, like Shodou, once it's on the album it slowly drifts from my favorites. It's still an incredible song tho. Just completely overshadowed by all the other great songs.

4.Mangetsu yo Terase (9) Great song. A+ All the way. B'z fans of literally every genre will love this song.

5. Paafekuto Raifu (10) Perfect Lyrics. Perfect Music. Perfect Vocal. Perfect Song. nuff said.

6. Isshunfuran (9) Even tho I give it a (9) It is my overall favorite. I give it that because I'm not sure if it works for everyone. But this beat is just so catchy all throughout the song. Fans of Pre-SURVIVE B'z will definitly cling to this song.

7. FRICTION -Lap 2- ( A different taste on FRICTION like BC 000-18. This version really works in so many different ways.

8. One on One (9) An unexpected addition to recent B'z. This sounds like a 7th Blues song to me. And it really hurls itself in there not destroying the atmosphere created previously by FRICTION. Instead it slowly lulls you back into ballad mode for the next song...

9. Boku ni wa Kimi ga Iru (10) Perfect Ballad. Heart wrenching... I literally nearly got run over listening to this song as I was walking. It's that mezmerizing. Beautiful vocal by Koshi, something we've heard in the past from songs like OCEAN, Calling, and Itsuka.

10. Nanto Iu Shiawase (9) Great song. Really lifts you up out of ballad mode perfectly to set you into a Blues mode for the next song.

11. Warui Yume (10) I would refer to this as the wild-card for the album. This can be a 10 in my book. But it's possible others may despise it. I think the beat in this gives a warm and comfortable feeling in this Blues song. Especially love the 'furu' part.

12. Hometown Boys March (9) Upbeat song. This song should have you singing along soon enough. IT's that type of song.

13. Kobou (10) I'm going to be honest. I can't really swallow the song completely but It still delivers a 10. I can't give a fair grade on this since i haven't listened to it as much.

14. Theme of the Travelling Man (0) A BIG MISS. I travel DAILY, and I do NOT listen to this song. Next plz.

15. Boku to Kimi no Atarashii Kisetsu (5) I'll be honest, I don't listen to this song at all. But is not as bad as The theme of the travelling men. IT just doesn't work for me.

16. Eien no Tsubasa (10) After more than 6 months this song is still super special to me. The guitar work by Tak and the vocal blend so well together just as it should. Love it.

17. BUDDY (10) This song will have you screaming BUDDY before too long. Full of energy this song will be likely to brighten anyone's day. A perfect end to the album. And one that makes you want to go all the way back to Junjou and experience the magic of this album all over again.

Kaitoukidsama's score - 11/10. This album is so AWESOME, I should know I've been listening to it and nothing else for the past month or so. If you don't love every song (minus 14) Expect it to grow on you over time. I've listened to the album at least 50 times and it still isn't old.

Kaitoukidsama's favorites:
1.Isshunfuran
2.Kuroi Seishun
3.Warui Yume
4.Paafekuto Raifu
5.Boku ni wa Kimi ga iru

I hopes you enjoyz!!!
