SHOWCASE 2009 -B'z IN YOUR TOWN- is a showcase by B'z that ran from July 20th, 2009 to August 5th, 2009. This tour is notable for its setlist keeping in tradition with other showcases and including scarcely-performed and obscure songs. These include Crazy Rendezvous and VAMPIRE WOMAN—two songs not performed for seventeen and eighteen years, respectively.
Along with the band's appearance at SUMMER SONIC 2009, these were the only shows B'z performed in 2009.
