Songs

Studio version never released.
Studio version never released. This song was originally a composition used as the ending music for B'z LIVE-GYM 2010 "Ain't No Magic". Its tune was published ahead of time on the official LIVE-GYM website along with the lyrics so that fans would be prepared to sing along at the end of shows on the tour. It has never been included on an album or similar release. The song was used again for B'z LIVE-GYM 2011 -C'mon- and B'z LIVE-GYM Pleasure 2013 -ENDLESS SUMMER-. The song can be heard here.
Studio version never released. Premiered live during B'z SHOWCASE "Kobushi wo Nigire". Played during other occasions as well, including as part of the band's first North American tour B'z LIVE-GYM 2002 "Rock n' California Roll". Its only inclusion on an official release of any kind is on the specialty DVD package B'z LIVE-GYM Hidden Pleasure ~Typhoon No.20~, where a live performance from B'z SHOWCASE "SAPPORO DEVIL" is available.
Studio version never released. This version exists only as a short, acoustic demo that was accessible via enhanced CD online features on B'z The "Mixture" upon release. The portal to access the song is no longer accessible.

Concert Videos

Main article: B'z Home Videos

Nearly every LIVE-GYM concert that B'z has performed has been subject to filming. Beginning with the DVD release of B'z LIVE-GYM 2006 "MONSTER'S GARAGE" in late 2006, all mainline B'z shows have been released on home video shortly after their conclusion. Prior releases had been selectively released with the unreleased shows being sampled during television appearances, in commercials, and the fanclub "bootleg" releases.

The tours and special events listed below are those that have not been released in full. Those that have been sampled or excerpted on other releases are annotated as such.

The music video that resulted from the day of filming has been released as part of B'z The Best XXV 1999-2012's limited edition. However, footage of the other songs performed—"ZERO" and then-recent single "girigiri chop"—has not been released.
The B'z portion of the show remains unreleased. Their live collaboration with Aerosmith, in which the two bands performed "Train Kept A Rollin'" together, was included in the former's DVD Aerosmith: Live in Japan released worldwide in 2007.

Not released in full, but the complete performances of singles "MY LONELY TOWN", "Ichibu to Zenbu", and "DIVE" from the show were included in the documentary Magical Backstage Tour 2009 released in the limited edition of the year's studio album MAGIC.
A special charity event organized by members of American rock band Linkin Park to aid tsunami victims, with B'z invited to perform as special guests. To gain a pair of tickets, fans had to raise $500 for relief efforts and would then be able to attend a secret show at a small venue.
Unreleased in full, but performances of "Sayonara Kizu Darake no Hibi yo", "Ichibu to Zenbu", and "Liar! Liar!" were featured on the bonus disc included in limited edition copies of 2012 single "GO FOR IT, BABY -Kioku no Sanmyaku-".

Music Videos

Since 2009's single "MY LONELY TOWN", it has become commonplace for the band to issue special editions of new singles that contain both the original CD and a bonus DVD containing the music video for the title song. Prior to this, official releases of the band's music videos were rare and generally witnessed only on Japanese music channels and news coverage. The primary exception to this is the 1990 home video FILM RISKY, which was a collection of connected music videos that were filmed specifically for the release.

In 2013, to celebrate the band's 25th anniversary, two compilation albums—B'z The Best XXV 1988-1998 and B'z The Best XXV 1999-2012—were released with bonus DVD discs containing music videos for all fifty singles released to that time. For the singles that never had a dedicated music video filmed, live performances were substituted in their place. Notably, a partially filmed aborted version of "Mienai Chikara ~INVISIBLE ONE~" was released on the set for the very first time.

The dedicated music videos produced for albums, which contained brief portions of all songs on a given album, have not yet been released in full and have only thus far been aired on television. The music video for "BAD COMMUNICATION" has also not received a full video release.
