Template:ALONE Song

Although it is now considered one of the band's quintessential ballads, Tak initially wanted "Mou Ichido Kiss Shitakatta" to serve as the ballad single from IN THE LIFE. He went on to say of the song: "That sort of major rock ballad had become characteristic for rock bands. That was a type of music that I, as well as Inaba, wanted to explore." The composition was something Tak worked on while on the road for B'z LIVE-GYM '90~'91 "RISKY", and ultimately took a great deal of time and effort to get right. While extremely popular, it is rarely played live, instead being reserved for special occasions. In a poll asking which songs fans would most like to see performed during the twentieth anniversary tour, "ALONE" was the fifth most requested, but was not included in the final setlist; however, it was eventually included as part of the setlist for their twenty-fifth anniversary tour. The performance of the song highlighted on "BUZZ!!" THE MOVIE is considered the quintessential version by the majority of fans. In the album version, the final English chorus is used to open the song without any instrumental support.
