B'z Ranking ~Member's Voice EXTRA~

In October 2014, a survey was posted on the official B'z fanclub's website, asking fanclub members which song (excluding hit songs) they haven't heard at a LIVE-GYM yet, but would like to hear it at a LIVE-GYM in the future. The results from said survey were published in Be With! Vol. 104. The introductory text clearly states that this is not a guarantee that these songs will be played at the LIVE-GYM 2015 shows, but may be played during an upcoming LIVE-GYM in the future.
