B'z LIVE-GYM 2012 -Into Free- is an upcoming LIVE-GYM tour by B'z that will tour both coasts of the United States and Canada. The tour will begin with a show in San Francisco on September 17, 2012 and conclude with a seventh show in Los Angeles on October 7th, 2012. This will mark the second consecutive year in which B'z has performed in North America following their previous summer tour that covered three dates, B'z LIVE-GYM 2011 -long time no see-, which marked their first shows in the region in eight years.

The LIVE-GYM 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.

This tour marks the first occasion in which B'z has toured the east coast of the United States, with shows scheduled for both Maryland and New York. Tickets for the tour were made available to the general public on May 25, 2012. It is currently unknown whether there will be a live stream of the final show to match the previous year.
