'''Pleasure ~Jinsei no Kairaku~''' ''(人生の快楽, The Pleasure of Life)'' is the title of an evolving song by [[B'z]] that originally debuted in 1991. The song has become the theme of the [[Pleasure LIVE-GYM]] concerts and is something of a unique entity in the B'z catalogue in that its lyrics and arrangement have evolved and changed over time with new iterations. Primarily, the first line of the song and the lines immediately following the first chorus differ in the new versions, along with some altered backing vocals. This ongoing story is captured in the song's many renditions, of which only three have been released on CD ([[LADY NAVIGATION|1991]], [[B'z The Best "Treasure"|1998]], and [[B'z The Best "ULTRA Pleasure"|2008]]) with the rest available from live performances. | [[file:Ready.png|link=BzWiki:Articles#Ready]] | ||

Pleasure ~Jinsei no Kairaku~ (人生の快楽, The Pleasure of Life) is the title of an evolving song by B'z that originally debuted in 1991. The song has become the theme of the Pleasure LIVE-GYM concerts and is something of a unique entity in the B'z catalogue in that its lyrics and arrangement have evolved and changed over time with new iterations. Primarily, the first line of the song and the lines immediately following the first chorus differ in the new versions, along with some altered backing vocals. This ongoing story is captured in the song's many renditions, of which only three have been released on CD (1991, 1998, and 2008) with the rest available from live performances.
Each iteration of the song is accompanied by the year in which it was released, beginning with "Pleasure'91". A version of "Pleasure" has been played at every Pleasure LIVE-GYM to date apart from the 1993 and 1997 editions. In addition, "Pleasure'91 ~Jinsei no Kairaku~" served as the opening track on all dates of B'z LIVE-GYM in Taipei & Hong Kong 2001, which marked the first and only time the song appeared outside of the Pleasure LIVE-GYM concerts.
