Do you like them, /mu/?

My Japanese friend back in middle school introduced them to me when I was about 15, I'm Japanese too, so I could get into them. It was back in my muh rock muh guitars period, too, so it kind of fit.

>B'z is one of the best-selling music artists in the world and the best-selling in their native Japan, having released 46 consecutive No. 1 singles, 25 No. 1 albums and sold more than 100 million records worldwide.
>In 2003, HMV Japan ranked the band at number 30 on their list of the 100 most important Japanese pop acts.

>except they rarely do media shit so they don't get hyped like other mainstream Japanese bands (One OK Rock, visual-kei shit, Gackt, etc.)

I don't really listen to them much anymore, since I have a substantial chunk of their discog, and it honestly feels like they're recycling ideas after a while, but I guess they do have their cred. For example, I saw them live when they played together with Aerosmith, that was cool (though of course, /mu/ hates Aerosmith and I don't really blame you guys for that, either).

I can't find their full albums online because their record company is super strict, but here's some live footage: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV41S0o08miG9lhVLE5Vsxt2EASWUVooz
