B'z LIVE-GYM 2012 -Into Free-

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.

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 Sanymaku-" had been played live and was also the first time since 2006 that "Shoudou" had been performed by the band.

At the close of the Los Angeles stream, B'z LIVE-GYM 2012 -Into Free- EXTRA was announced as a Japanese extension of the North American tour. 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.
