The three limited editions of the single that, for the first time, had B'z release bonus DVDs as part of limited edition singles. This practice would become a standard beginning in 2009 with the release of "MY LONELY TOWN", which then began to include the music video.

SPLASH! is the forty-second single by B'z, released on June 7, 2006. The rock sound and extremely fast tempo meshed to create an immensely successful summer hit for the band. Most notably, with this release, for the first time in its history, B'z offered limited editions that included a DVD as the purchase bonus. Here, three different color-coded editions were released in addition to the normal single itself, each with differing contents. The standard red edition only contained the CD single itself, while the yellow, blue, and green-colored editions each contained one performance each from the then-unreleased previous year's concert, B'z LIVE-GYM 2005 "CIRCLE OF ROCK".
