Note: "Pleasure" has become the theme of the Pleasure LIVE-GYM concerts and is something of a unique entity in the B'z catalogue in that its lyrics have evolved and changed over time with new iterations. Primarily, the first two lines of the song differ in the new versions, along with some altered backing vocals. This ongoing story is captured in the song's many renditions, of which only three have been released on CD (1991, 1998, and 2008). A version of "Pleasure" has been played at every single Pleasure LIVE-GYM to date.
