BLOWIN' is the tenth single by B'z, released on May 27, 1992. Both the A-side and B-side from the release became monumental hits for the band, with both being performed regularly decades after their original release.
As was the case with "Koi-Gokoro (KOI-GOKORO)" on the release for "ZERO", "TIME" established itself as one of the top B'z songs despite its place as a B-side. In time, the song has earned spots in numerous LIVE-GYM setlists over the years as well as its appearance on a number of the band's compilation albums.
The single was simultaneously remastered and re-released on March 26, 2003 along with nine other of the band's older singles and the then-latest single, "IT'S SHOWTIME!!". On the daily chart at launch, B'z held a monopoly over the chart's top eleven slots, with the new single ranking at the top and the re-issues covering the remaining ten. Ultimately, B'z would set a record that week for holding nine of the Top 10 slots for the week of release, with "BLOWIN'" coming in ninth place.
