B'z to be added to Hollywood's Rock Walk
Japan's most popular and best-selling rock duo B'z will be added to Hollywood's Rock Walk. Contrary to the Walk of Fame, bands are not nominated by the public but by past honorees, in this case, the duo's friend Steve Vai. B'z, having sold over 75 million records and being regulars at the top of the charts will be the first Asian band to be added to the Rock Walk, the induction ceremony, taking place on November 19th, will bring the band to the same level as such legends as AC/DC, Elvis Presley, KISS, and The Ramones, to name a few.

Along with their previously announced upcoming single, SUPER LOVE SONG, scheduled for release on October 3rd, B'z is also releasing a new album soon. ACTION goes on sale on December 5th and will contain seventeen tracks and be available in both a regular and limited edition with DVD. To promote the album's release, Tak and Koshi will start their LIVE-GYM 2008 "ACTION" tour in January. The tour will take them all over Japan before they play six dates, LIVE-GYM -PLEASURE 2008-, in September in celebration of the band's 20th anniversary!

I know this was announced a few weeks ago, but I don't recall seeing a post about it.

I'm glad for them. Too bad I haven't ever really listened to them.

B'z >>> any other Japanese act. Seriously. Not my style of music, really, but I still love them.

Oh, I didn't even notice it was in Hollywood. Good for them.

And I amend my last statement: B'z >>> most other music acts period.

They're a really fantastic band, but I'm so surprised that, given how immensely popular they are, they aren't really talked about that much online - at least, not that I've seen. Though I suppose VK has pretty much taken over the online Jrock world.

You're definitely right about VK. It's...kinda annoying, actually. VK fangirls are insane.

B'z isn't talked about online probably because their fans tend to be a bit older---you're not going to find B'z fans writing Matsumoto/Inaba slash fics.

While I adore a lot of VK bands, I try to stay as far away from the fangirls as possible. They're terrifying.

D: Oh God. RPS is so creepy.

LOL seriously. I can tolerate a lot of crazy fic ideas, but RPS...uh...is not one of them.

I disagree with you because the man in my icon rules my soul, but I will say that B'z >>> most bands.
