B'z LIVE-GYM 2012 -Into Free- was a LIVE-GYM tour by B'z that toured both coasts of the United States and Canada. The tour began with a show in San Francisco on September 17, 2012 and concluded with a seventh show in Los Angeles on October 7th, 2012, that was streamed live for fans all over the world at no cost. This tour was the first in which B'z performed on the east coast of the United States, with shows in both Maryland and New York.

2012 was the second consecutive year in which B'z toured North America following their previous summer venture, B'z LIVE-GYM 2011 -long time no see-, that covered three dates and marked their first shows on the continent in eight years. The LIVE-GYM itself takes its name from "Into Free -Dangan-", an English version of "Samayoeru Aoi Dangan" that was premiered during the 2011 tour. The song was announced as the global theme to the video game Dragon's Dogma before being released as a worldwide digital single on April 4, 2012.

On July 25, 2012, B'z released their self-titled debut English album worldwide via iTunes. The five songs included were English renditions of Japanese singles, with three of the songs in "Splash", "Into Free -Dangan-", and "Juice" having been premiered during the previous North American tour. The remaining songs were made up of "Love Bomb", an English reversion of "Ai no Bakudan" that served as the theme to a Pepsi NEX summer line campaign, and an English edition of "Ultra Soul" that was first played during the 2011 charity show with Linkin Park.

All five songs from the English album were included in the setlist for the tour, along with a number of classics not played in a number of years. This tour marked the first time that "GO FOR IT, BABY -Kioku no Sanmyaku-" had been played live and was also the first time since 2006 that "Shoudou" had been performed by the band.

At the very end of the global live stream of the Los Angeles show, B'z LIVE-GYM 2012 -Into Free- EXTRA was announced as an extension of the tour for Japan with four additional shows.

B'z LIVE-GYM 2012 -Into Free- EXTRA was a Japanese extension of the North American tour announced via an infographic at the close of the Los Angeles stream. The extension provided four dates that allowed for fans back home to get a chance to see the show live, with shows at four different locations, including Budokan and Osaka Jo Hall.

The setlist retained all of the songs originally included in the North American tour, but added "Itoshii Hito yo Good Night..." and "HEAT", the song that B'z recently wrote for Korean artist Kim Hyun Joong.
