LADY NAVIGATION is the eighth single by B'z, released on March 27, 1991.

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 "LADY NAVIGATION" coming in sixth place.

Track listing

1. LADY NAVIGATION

2. Pleasure'91 ~Jinsei no Kairaku~ — Pleasure'91 ~The Pleasure of Life~, Pleasure'91 ~人生の快楽~

   "Pleasure ~Jinsei no Kairaku~" is the title of an evolving song by the band, first released in studio form here. Since its debut with the 1991 edition, the lyrics have steadily changed at regular intervals to convey the life of the lyrics' aging protagonist, with the title including the year in which it was created such as with "Pleasure'91". As of 2012, there are seven editions of the song, three of which have been released on CD: the B-side here for "LADY NAVIGATION", a re-recorded version requested by fans for B'z The Best "Treasure" in 1998, and and another re-recorded update found on B'z The Best "ULTRA Pleasure" in 2008. The rest are available for home viewing on corresponding home video releases. A version of "Pleasure" has been played at every Pleasure LIVE-GYM to date apart from the 1993 and 1997 editions.
