Ending SE: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 23:22, 3 February 2014

Ending SE refers to a song played to a crowd at Japanese concerts as a given band leaves the stage and the audience is exiting. For B'z shows, this has typically been an unreleased song or a special version that was otherwise never included on an album or single. Occasionally, shows may feature a dedicated Opening SE as well.

Beginning in 2010 with B'z LIVE-GYM 2010 "Ain't No Magic", B'z debuted a special Ending SE entitled "Hitori Janai Kara -Theme Of LIVE-GYM-". The song is purposed as a sing-along for the audience to perform while Tak and Koshi visit all ends of the stage and wave to the crowd prior to their final bow. The song features a moment in which the crowd is to shout the name of the city in which the concert takes place. The lyrics to the song were published on the official website for fans to familiarize themselves with prior to the beginning of the tour and has since made appearances at all major LIVE-GYM events since.

-The tour in support of the band's 2006 studio album ''[[MONSTER]]''. In addition to featuring tracks from the album and all three of its singles—"[[Shoudou]]", "[[Yuruginai Mono Hitotsu]]", and "[[SPLASH!]]"—the setlist included a great deal of hits from their history, including "[[BAD COMMUNICATION]]", "[[ultra soul]]", "[[OCEAN]]", "[[Ai no Bakudan]]", and "[[LOVE PHANTOM]]", before ending the setlist with a special version of "RUN". Additionally, B'z also ventured out into the crowd onto a small stage situated in the middle of the arena to perform an acoustic version of "Happy Birthday", followed by rock encores of "Brotherhood" and "[[BLOWIN']]. The full show was released on DVD and later Blu-ray, becoming one of the band's most well-regarded home video releases.

-The 2005 tour in support of the band's album of the same year, ''[[THE CIRCLE]]'', the tour was unique for featuring a rotating circular stage at the center of the arena that the band performed on. In addition to album songs and singles "[[Ai no Bakudan]]", "[[ALONE]]", "[[Konya Tsuki no Mieru Oka ni]]", "IT'S SHOWTIME!!", "[[juice]]", and others, the band also included rarely-performed B-sides "Mannequin Village" and "Kanashiki dreamer" throughout. Originally, the tour was sampled in various [[LIVE-GYM#Compilation Videos|compilation videos]] and had select performances used as bonuses for the "[[SPLASH!]]" single's limited editions. However, in 2013, the full tour was finally released on DVD as [[B'z LIVE-GYM 2005 -CIRCLE OF ROCK- (Home Video)|B'z LIVE-GYM 2005 -CIRCLE OF ROCK-]] as part of the band's 25th anniversary celebrations.

The stage was unique, allowing for the addition of stunt motorcycles to cross the stage mid-air while the band performed songs such as "Arakure". The setlist featured a number of songs that aren't typically found in many setlists, including "Don't Leave Me", "MOTEL", "[[love me, I love you]]", "MOVE", "Himitsu na Futari" and "[[FRIENDS|Itsuka no Merry Christmas]]". Although the full tour has not been released, select performances have been made available via [[LIVE-GYM#Compilation Videos|compilation videos]] in the years since.

-The band's 15th anniversary tour that was split between a 23-show hall tour with a two-night finale in the fields of Nagisaen, where just tens of thousands of fans once again gathered where B'z had previously performed their [[B'z LIVE-GYM Pleasure'93 "[[The 7th Blues|JAP THE RIPPER]]"|first outdoor show in 1993]]. The setlist for the hall portion of the tour changed frequently. By the time of the Nagisaen show, B'z had settled into an epic 24-song setlist that included special nostalgic recreations of "OH! GIRL" and "[[LOVE PHANTOM]]" from 1995's seminal [[B'z LIVE-GYM Pleasure'95 "BUZZ!!"|"BUZZ!!" Pleasure tour]], as well as performances of "[[Taiyou no Komachi Angel]]", "[[BLOWIN']], "TIME", "[[RISKY|GIMME YOUR LOVE]]", Brotherhood, "[[Real Thing Shakes]]", "IT'S SHOWTIME!!", "[[BAD COMMUNICATION]]", "[[Hadashi no Megami]]", and "RUN". Additionally, the band took to the rare feat of performing three songs in acoustic form, with those being "[[Easy Come, Easy Go!]]", "[[RUN|Gekkou]]", and "[[ZERO|Koi-Gokoro <small>(KOI-GOKORO)</small>]]. The full home video of the outdoor shows was released on DVD and VHS in February 2003.

The titular "[[juice]]" was premiered live on the tour before being properly released in the midst of the tour schedule. The tour is also notable for being the only occasion in which singles "May" and "RING" were performed live, with the latter being premiered live during the latter half of the tour and also being released on DVD in the limited edition of ''[[B'z The Best "ULTRA Pleasure"]]''. This leaves "May" as one of the few B'z singles to not have a home video performance available.
