ELEVEN is the eleventh studio album by B'z, released on December 6th, 2000.
Upon release, ELEVEN debuted at the top of the Weekly Oricon Album chart with 756,910 physical copies sold. The album would go on to rank at number 19 on the year end chart. To date, the album has sold in excess of 1,132,180 physical copies, qualifying it for a Million certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan.
Production information
All but two of the album's songs—"Thinking of you" and "Tobira"—were performed live and subsequently released on the album's home video release in 2013 as part of their twenty-fifth anniversary celebrations. Select performances had been excerpted for previous occasions, such as with those found on B'z LIVE-GYM Hidden Pleasure ~Typhoon No.20~ released for their twentieth anniversary.
Additional songs from the sessions would also find their way onto GREEN after being deemed unfit for the album here.
