B'z SHOWCASE 2006 -Yokosuka MONSTER- was a showcase by B'z that included only one show. Taking place just three days before B'z LIVE-GYM 2006 "MONSTER'S GARAGE", it served as a warm-up gig for the band's extended summer tour.

Touring Band

• B'z: Tak Matsumoto (GUITAR), Koshi Inaba (VOCALS)
• Support Members: Shane Gaalaas (DRUMS), Tokunaga Akito (BASS), Takanobu Masuda (KEYBOARDS), Shinichiro Ohta (BACKUP GUITAR & VOCALS)

Setlist

The setlist for this show was the same as that of the LIVE-GYM that would begin three days later. Save for the album tracks from MONSTER, which had just been released the day before, the bulk of the setlist contained mainstay tunes.

Notably, the then-unreleased track BUDDY was first heard as the ending music here, as well as all subsequent shows for the proper LIVE-GYM tour. The song was conspicuously absent from a number of future releases before finally settling in as the closing track on the band's 2007 album, ACTION.
