Hadashi no Megami (裸足の女神, Barefoot Goddess) is the thirteenth single by B'z, released on June 2, 1993.
When released, "Hadashi no Megami" charted at the top of the Weekly Oricon Singles chart, where it remained for two weeks, with nearly 780,000 in sales in the first week alone. The single was the top selling for June 1993, the third best seller for July, and fifth for all of 1993, spending a total of 26 weeks on the chart. The single went on to sale over 1.7 million copies in total, earning it a Million certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan.
The single was simultaneously remastered and re-released on March 26, 2003 along with nine other of the band's older singles and the then-latest single, "IT'S SHOWTIME!!". On the daily chart at launch, B'z held a monopoly over the chart's top eleven slots, with the new single ranking at the top and the re-issues covering the remaining ten. Ultimately, B'z would set a record that week for holding nine of the Top 10 slots for the week of release, with "Hadashi no Megami" coming in just shy in eleventh place.
