'''''MONSTER''''' is the fifteenth [[B'z Albums#Studio Albums|studio album]] by [[B'z]], released on June 28, 2006.
At release, ''MONSTER'' debuted at the top of the Weekly Oricon Albums chart as had all of the band's studio albums dating back to 1990's ''[[RISKY]]''. The first week sales of 401,000 were a fifteen percent increase over the debut of their previous effort ''[[THE CIRCLE]]'' from 2005 and qualified it for Platinum status by the end of the week. ''MONSTER'' would debut at the top of the Weekly Oricon Monthly chart and would rank at number 20 for the year 2006. The album has since sold over 539,000 copies and is certified Double Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan. In 2018, the album was reissued as a two vinyl set made available to visitors of their thirtieth anniversary public exhibition entitled [[B'z 30th Year Exhibition "SCENES" 1988-2018|"SCENES"]] alongside all other studio albums to that point.

#: [[File:a15_02.ogg]] A single with among the fastest tempos in the B'z catalogue, "SPLASH!" was a defining single for the band despite its entirely new sound. The song was recorded along with the second half of the album, and was produced with the mindset of creating a song that could be danced to. The suggestive lyrics of physical intimacy are among the most forward of the B'z singles, challenged only by the earlier 2000 single, "[[juice]]". In a rarity for their output, Tak also utilized a seven string guitar for the sessions. An [[Splash (English Version) (Lyrics)|English version]] was premiered live in 2011 in North America before being released in studio form on the band's [[B'z (English Album)|debut English album]]. Despite its popularity, it has not been performed live since featuring all throughout 2006.

#: [[File:a15_03.ogg]] A song that mixes both acoustic and electric guitar, "Yuruginai Mono Hitotsu" is one of the few B'z songs to open with only an acoustic guitar before introducing more instrumentation. Koshi particularly praised the guitar solo by Tak, stating that he felt it was a great example of a guitar solo highlighting the essence of a song. Despite featuring all throughout 2006 showings, it has not been performed live again in the years since.

#:  
#: [[File:a15_06.ogg]] A rock single with a frenetic pace, "Shoudou" is the fastest and shortest B'z single in their catalogue with a runtime of only 3 minutes and approximately 14 seconds in its original incarnation without silence included. The song has worked very well in live settings for the band, often being paired with another song such as "[[Ai no Bakudan]]" in 2006 and "[[IT'S SHOWTIME!!]]" in 2012.  Interestingly, the album version found here is labeled a remix despite featuring several re-recorded parts. Almost all of the guitar work is touched up and overhauled with only the acoustic portion remaining intact. The backing vocals feature [[B'z Support Members|support members]] [[Akihito Tokunaga]] and [[Shinichiro Ohta]] prominently, notably, and Koshi's final shout at the end of the song is at a different pitch than the original.

An acoustic guitar features as backing throughout with an electric accompaniment only joining for the final chorus before culminating in an ending solo. Uniquely, the song features a Tagalog spoken section as part of the interlude. This is the first instance since 1994's "[[The 7th Blues|WILD ROAD]]" from ''[[The 7th Blues]]'' that a female vocal was featured as a lead in a B'z song.

#: [[File:a15_10.ogg]] The first birthday-themed song by B'z, "Happy Birthday" was first premiered live during [[B'z LIVE-GYM 2005 "CIRCLE OF ROCK"]] a year prior to its inclusion here. Initially, fans were unsure whether a recorded version of the song would ever find its way to a release after Tak implied it may be used only live. The following year, its upbeat rock roots were skirted in favor of the full six member band performing an acoustic rendition—all with their own guitars—as part of [[B'z LIVE-GYM 2006 "MONSTER'S GARAGE"]]. For the recorded version here, as compared to its 2005 rendition, some additions were made to the lyrics and the arrangement was fully overhauled. The original live version began with a piano intro which was omitted here. Although well-regarded for both of its live years, the song has not been performed since but was included on both tours' [[B'z Home Videos|home video]] releases.

B'z also gave the song to then-fellow GIZA artist Aya Kamiki which became her top-selling single of her solo career. Koshi can be seen discussing the formation of the lyrics in the 2006 documentary ''[[B'z LIVE-GYM 2006 "MONSTER'S GARAGE" (Home Video)|OFF LIMITS: How Two Men Made a Monster]]''. Prior to its inclusion here, the song was used as a B-side for spring single "[[Yuruginai Mono Hitotsu]]" and was later voted by fans onto ''[[B'z The Best "ULTRA Treasure"]]'' in 2008. Its [[B'z Home Videos|home video]] appearances can be found on both the [[B'z LIVE-GYM 2006 "MONSTER'S GARAGE" (Home Video)|album tour's release]] and ''[[B'z LIVE in Namba 2006]]''. It also was very briefly revived for two additional performances as part of both [[B'z SHOWCASE 2017 -Hissatsu Hiokinin-]] and [[B'z SHOWCASE 2017 -B'z In Your Town-]] alongside several other lesser-played tracks that later took greater precedent.
