Under the recommendation of Steve Vai, B’z were inducted into the Hollywood Rock Walk in 2007 as the first Asian artist. As a world acclaimed six-string virtuoso, Tak Matsumoto joined legendary guitarists Jimmy Page, Joe Perry, Ace Frehley and Slash, to become the fifth guitarist in the world to have his own Gibson USA signature model, the ‘Tak Matsumoto Les Paul.’ In 2010, Matsumoto released Take Your Pick with jazz guitarist, Larry Carlton, and won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album at the 53rd Grammy Awards last February. Koshi Inaba’s solo efforts include the studio album, Hadou, which was also released in 2010 and debuted number one on the Oricon album charts. Inaba also appeared as a guest vocalist on Slash’s solo album last year.
Besides releasing a long line of number one singles and albums in Japan, B’z are known for their dynamic live shows. They began 2010 with a sold-out dome tour in Japan, including 4 nights at the famed Tokyo Dome with 600,000 fans in attendance.

After providing a song to “Download to Donate Tsunami Relief” organized by Music For Relief, B’z was asked to join the intimate private show with Linkin Park to raise money for Japan earthquake/Tsunami relief. The show took place on 8/31 with great success raising more than $35,000. They will start the Japan tour with 2 shows in Sendai which will benefit the affected area. Their tour “B’z LIVE-GYM 2011 –C’mon-“ includes 17 arena shows and 9 dome shows and continues till the last show on 12/25 at Tokyo Dome.
ブルージーな朝
B'z Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
テレビも消さず 眠ってた
目を覚まし 服を脱ぎ シャワーを浴び 出かけよう
ああ ブルージーな朝 いつまで続くのだろう
ああ こんな私を 誰か受け止めてよ
バスが動き出す 見飽きてる景色
フライデーを買ってだらだらめくる
お茶の味がなんか 渋く感じる
なんとなく 探すのは 人の常 不幸な話題
ああ ブルージーな朝 いつまで続くのだろう
ああ こんな私を 誰かさらっていってよ
雨が降り出した 傘も持ってきてない
ああ ブルージーな朝 いつまで続くのだろう
ああ こんな私は どこから来たんだろう
ああ ブルージーな朝 びしょ濡れが気持ちいい
ああ こんな私を あの人はどう思う
電話が鳴り出した 神様に祈る
The first line of B'z's song ブルージーな朝, "来るはずのない電話を待ち" (Waiting for a phone call that shouldn't come), sets the tone for the entire song as one of melancholy and uncertainty. The singer is awaiting a call that they know won't come, and passes the time in a methodical way, not even bothering to turn off the television before drifting off to sleep. Upon waking up, they go through the motions of getting dressed and taking a shower, aimlessly waiting for something, or someone, to give them direction.
As the song progresses, we get a glimpse into the singer's day-to-day life, as they mindlessly flip through a magazine and find the taste of tea to be bitter. They seem to be searching for something, but aren't quite sure what it is, and find themselves drawn to negative news stories almost compulsively. They are aware of their own loneliness and seem to be yearning for someone to notice and care about them. As it starts raining, they realize they forgot their umbrella and the blue morning gives way to a grey and damp day. Despite this, they find solace in their soaked state and wonder what someone they admire might think of them. As the lyrics come to an end, the singer prays to God for a better tomorrow, hoping for a change in their hollow and directionless existence.
