Demo versions
Apart from the officially released English versions, in the early 1990s, B'z recorded several English demos for previously released Japanese songs.

The leaked demos include:
- BLOWIN'
- Baby, you're my home
- Baby, you're my home (Electric Version)
- farewell song
- Gekkou
- Gekkou (Version 2)
- Koi-Gokoro
- LOVE IS DEAD
- MR. ROLLING THUNDER
- NATIVE DANCE
- Out Of Control
- Sore Demo Kimi ni wa Modorenai
- Sweet Lil' Devil
- TIME
- TONIGHT(Is The Night)
- Yaburenu Yume wo Hikizutte
- Yami no Ame
- ZERO
- ZERO (New Arrangement Version)
In addition to those mentioned above, English demos to songs from the Brotherhood sessions, including "ONE", can be heard in the 1999 documentary The true meaning of "Brotherhood"?. None of these English versions ever made their way to the public in any other form.
