'''''BAD COMMUNICATION''''' is the first [[B'z Albums#Mini Albums|mini album]] by [[B'z]], released on October 21, 1989. Billed as a "dance oriented special" release, the mini album was not expected to be a hit, instead originally meant to serve as a bridge between their [[OFF THE LOCK|second]] and [[BREAK THROUGH|third]] studio albums. Upon release, however, it proved a massive success and gave the band their first taste of national fame. The dance and rock blend was received extremely favorably within the Japanese music scene, giving the band the opportunity to perform on television for the first time in November and again in December of 1989, performing the album's title track. The buzz generated from the album also resulted in three brief touring events at the end of 1989 during which the title song was routinely performed to much fanfare.


Since the year of its release, "BAD COMMUNICATION" has become one of the most popular songs the band has ever produced, even two decades later. Due to the song's immense popularity, several variants exist throughout the B'z catalogue. A promotional vinyl was made available to radio stations and club venues that included an abbreviated Japanese version that cut the runtime down to four minutes that was otherwise not released. A karaoke version of the title song could be found on cassette tape copies of the album. This karaoke version would later be one of the many karaoke tracks included on the 1992 karaoke album ''[[B'z TV Style SONGLESS VERSION]]''.

Additionally, at the time of recording, B'z also prepared an English version as one of the earliest examples of their [[B'z English Songs|English songs]]. The resulting version, entitled "[[Bad Communication E.Style (Lyrics)|Bad Communication E.Style]]", saw several live performances in its infancy period. Koshi later said in a 1998 interview that he was not sure which version's lyrics he liked most, having grown connected to each of them.

The resulting version, entitled "[[Bad Communication E.Style (Lyrics)|Bad Communication E.Style]]", saw several live performances in its infancy period. The English version was originally only made available to radio stations on a promotional vinyl, and was produced in both four and seven minute variants. It would be released the next year on their follow-up mini album ''[[WICKED BEAT]]''. Koshi later said in a 1998 interview that he was not sure which version's lyrics he liked most, having grown attached to both. Years later, B'z returned to the original song for ''[[LOOSE]]''—their 1995 [[B'z Albums#Studio Albums|studio album]] that would also contain fellow perennial hit "[[LOVE PHANTOM]]" and become their best-selling album of the sort in their history. The bluesy, rock-infused acoustic reversion was retitled "BAD COMMUNICATION (000-18)" and featured the Japanese lyrics.


Unlike the band's other most popular works, the original version of "BAD COMMUNICATION" has never been collected on any other official B'z work. This is due to the band's very earliest releases belonging to a different publisher than their later works. After B'z left the label, their original representatives, BMG Japan, releasing an unauthorized compilation of B'z material still under their control with the title ''[[Flash Back -B'z Early Special Titles-]]''. The release, which contained all tracks from the ''BAD COMMUNICATION'' mini album was not endorsed or supported by Tak and Koshi, whose images were legally prohibited from being used to promote the release in any way. Later, in 1998, when B'z released their first official compilation, ''[[B'z The Best "Pleasure"]]'', the English version of "BAD COMMUNICATION" was included in place of the original since B'z held its rights. Subsequently, the compilation quickly became the best-selling album in the history of Japanese music.
In the nearly twenty years since its original release and countless live performances later, the band had gradually formed a more hard rock arrangement for the song as part of their [[LIVE-GYM|LIVE-GYMs]]. Fans had long wanted to hear a studio version of this hard rock reversion on an official release, and in 2008, their wish was finally granted. One of two 20th anniversary compilations, this one titled ''[[B'z The Best "ULTRA Pleasure"]]'', featured two new re-recordings amongst thirty total hit songs from their entire history. The opening track, "BAD COMMUNICATION -ULTRA Pleasure Style", was the hard rock, definitive version of the all-time classic that fans had clamored for in the decades since it came to be on the live stage.


Although a mini album by title, the Recording Industry Association of Japan certified its Million seller status for that of a single, though Oricon certified the release as a mini album. The release is one of only two releases in Japanese history to achieve one million sales without having entered the top ten. The unexpected success of the release led to the band releasing a follow-up four-track mini album the next year entitled ''[[WICKED BEAT]]'' that included all English reversions, including the debut release of "[[Bad Communication E.Style (Lyrics)|Bad Communication E.Style]]". Additional mini albums followed in [[MARS|1991]], [[FRIENDS|1992]], and [[FRIENDS II|1996]]. Ultimately, the mini album finished at number 12 on the Oricon charts for the year of 1989. However, due to the rise of the band's popularity in the years immediately following, it was the 29th highest seller of 1990, and again made the year-end charts in 1991 and 1992, where it placed 26th and 87th, respectively.

The hard rock re-recording found on ''[[B'z The Best "ULTRA Pleasure"]]'' was the culmination of nearly two decades of live performances in which the song gradually became a hard rock song from its original dance-infused roots. To this day, the song remains one of the five most performed songs by the band, ranking at the top with fellow classics "[[ZERO]]" and "[[ultra soul]]". Among its many appearances on various album tours over the years, it is also virtually always expected to appear at some point during the band's special [[Pleasure]] tours, where their most beloved tracks are showcased for fans on anniversaries and other special occasions.

The special promotional vinyl issued to radio stations around the time of release. The record contained the shortened four-minute versions of both the Japanese and English versions of "BAD COMMUNICATION".

BAD COMMUNICATION is the first mini album by B'z, released on October 21, 1989. Billed as a "dance oriented special" release, the mini album was not expected to be a hit, instead originally meant to serve as a bridge between their second and third studio albums. Upon release, however, it proved a massive success and gave the band their first taste of national fame. The dance and rock blend was received extremely favorably within the Japanese music scene, giving the band the opportunity to perform on television for the first time in November and again in December of 1989, performing the album's title track. The buzz generated from the album also resulted in three brief touring events at the end of 1989 during which the title song was routinely performed to much fanfare.

Since the year of its release, "BAD COMMUNICATION" has become one of the most popular songs the band has ever produced, even two decades later. Due to the song's immense popularity, several variants exist throughout the B'z catalogue. A promotional vinyl was made available to radio stations and club venues that included an abbreviated Japanese version that cut the runtime down to four minutes that was otherwise not released. A karaoke version of the title song could be found on cassette tape copies of the album. This karaoke version would later be one of the many karaoke tracks included on the 1992 karaoke album B'z TV Style SONGLESS VERSION.

Additionally, at the time of the original recording, B'z also prepared an English version as one of the earliest examples of their English songs. The resulting version, entitled "Bad Communication E.Style", saw several live performances in its infancy period. The English version was originally only made available to radio stations on a promotional vinyl, and was produced in both four and seven minute variants. It would be released the next year on their follow-up mini album WICKED BEAT.
