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.

Romaji
Hitoban chuu guitar to onna no hadaka de mori agatteta aitsu mo
Sotsunaku outeni shuushoku kimari tamerai ga chi no shusse kaidou
Omoi masharu hakondeta koshi no itami mada oboeteruno
Itsuno mani ka kono machi ni marume komare tano wa boku?
Igokochi iito waratteru sonna yoyuu wa iranai no kana...
Aitsu mo tou tou hitori ni natta getsu youbi no yoru
Yotte ta katte shou ganee yatsu da nante
Karakai nagara dare moga wagami furikaeru
Yes, zibun wa machigatte nai
Kono saki no ukishizumi mo utae ba tanoshi
Itsuno mani ka kono machi ni marume komare tano wa kimi?
[Moshi umare kawattara] nante me wo kagaya kasete itte takunai
Katte shittaru sukunai nakama to tekida mikatada to sawaideru
Tomarenai kono sekai de mune wo hatte ikiru shika nai
Itsuno mani ka kono machi ni marume komareru no wa dare?
Kudara nakatta ano koro ni modoritai modoritakunai
Kowai mono wa arimasuka? Mamoru mono wa arimasuka?
Tomarenai kono sekai de mune wo hatte ikiru shika nai
