B'z Singles Guide (Part 3)

B'z needs little introduction to Japanese music fans: they're the highest-selling Japanese rock band of all time! They've existed since 1988 and have formed a vast treasure trove of a discography in those 27 years... one which can be difficult at times to navigate. While they've released nineteen full-length studio albums as of this post's publication, they've also released fifty-three singles, plenty of which have material not present on their albums.

Some of their bigger non-album singles have been collected on their numerous best-of compilations, like the "Treasure" and "Pleasure" lines, but others stay relegated to only the CD singles they originally appeared on. Using the excellent, highly detailed B'z wiki at offthelock.com, I have created a guide to understanding where exactly every track on all of their singles stand in their discography, which will help me with figuring out which singles to go after, and it will hopefully become of great use to you as well.

This portion of the guide covers singles released by B'z after the release of their 2015 single "Red". As of the initial writing of this intro, no more singles have been released, but this article will be updated as each new single comes out.

-----COLOR KEY-----

This half of the guide covers the singles released after the snap-pack format was dropped, and their singles started appearing in a more traditionally sized jewel case or maxi case. It will also cover the iTunes-only digital single released to promote the game Dragon's Dogma.
