FRIENDS is the fourth mini album by B'z, released on December 9, 1992. The release is their first concept album, with each song contributing to an overall story for the first time in the B'z catalogue. The music was composed to be akin to that of the soundtrack to a movie, with each track being labeled as "scenes". A follow-up album entitled FRIENDS II would be released four years later in 1996 but would not feature a connected narrative.
