B'z SHOWCASE 2008 -Kiyotake ACTION- was a showcase by B'z that included only one show. Taking place just three days before LIVE-GYM 2008 "ACTION", it served as a warm-up gig.
This tour is notable for its setlist keeping in tradition with other showcases and including scarcely-performed and obscure songs. These include Crazy Rendezvous and VAMPIRE WOMAN—two songs not performed for seventeen and eighteen years, respectively.
Along with the band's appearance at SUMMER SONIC 2009, these were the only shows B'z performed in 2009.
