Uchouten (有頂天, Ecstasy) is the fifty-first single by B'z, released on January 14, 2015. It is their first since 2012's "GO FOR IT, BABY -Kioku no Sanmyaku-" and is also set to appear on their 2015 album, EPIC DAY.
To mark their return, B'z made several appearances on television to promote the release at the end of 2014 and early in 2015. This included showings on both Music Station SUPER LIVE 2015 and a year-end CDTV special during which "Uchouten" was their only song performed. For the January 18, 2015 appearance on LIVE MONSTER, B'z performed not only the title song from the single but also paired it with 2009's hit "Ichibu to Zenbu". This would be the most involved of the promotions for the single, featuring a full half-hour episode of the show dedicated to the band, including a sit-down interview alongside the performances.
