Pepsi NEX presents B'z PREMIUM LIVE was a special event featuring B'z and sponsored by Pepsi NEX. Tickets to the event were available exclusively through a promotion tied into the band's 50th single "GO FOR IT, BABY -Kioku no Sanmyaku-". Those that purchased the single were given the opportunity to redeem a card within that gave a chance at winning some of the very limited tickets to see B'z at two smaller venues: Namba Hatch in Osaka on August 30 and Studio Coast in Tokyo on September 1.
The two shows preceded and served as a warm-up for the band's then-upcoming North American tour B'z LIVE-GYM 2012 -Into Free-. As a result, the shortened setlist is a truncated version of what was to be performed on the seven United States and Canada stops weeks later, with the exception of "HEAT". The song, originally written for South Korean artist Kim Hyun Joon, was not intended to be recorded by the band although they did express at the time of its reveal that they thought it would be interesting to play it live. While it was not retained in the encore for the Into Free tour in North America, it was brought back for the brief Japanese stint of the same tour. Due to the overwhelmingly positive reception in the live arena, a studio version of "HEAT" was later included on B'z The Best XXV 1988-1998 a year later as a bonus song.
