Concert Videos
Nearly every LIVE-GYM concert that B'z has performed has been subject to filming. Beginning with the DVD release of B'z LIVE-GYM 2006 "MONSTER'S GARAGE" in late 2006, all mainline B'z shows have been released on home video shortly after their conclusion. Prior releases had been selectively released with the unreleased shows being sampled during television appearances, in commercials, and the fanclub "bootleg" releases.
The tours and special events listed below are those that have not been released in full. Those that have been sampled or excerpted on other releases are annotated as such.

Music Videos
Since 2009's single "MY LONELY TOWN", it has become commonplace for the band to issue special editions of new singles that contain both the original CD and a bonus DVD containing the music video for the title song. Prior to this, official releases of the band's music videos were rare and generally witnessed only on Japanese music channels and news coverage. The primary exception to this is the 1990 home video FILM RISKY, which was a collection of connected music videos that were filmed specifically for the release.
In 2013, to celebrate the band's 25th anniversary, two compilation albums—B'z The Best XXV 1988-1998 and B'z The Best XXV 1999-2012—were released with bonus DVD discs containing music videos for all fifty singles released to that time. For the singles that never had a dedicated music video filmed, live performances were substituted in their place. Notably, a partially filmed aborted version of "Mienai Chikara ~INVISIBLE ONE~" was released on the set for the very first time.
The dedicated music videos produced for albums, which contained brief portions of all songs on a given album, have not yet been released in full and have only thus far been aired on television. The music video for "BAD COMMUNICATION" has also not received a full video release.
