ALONE is the ninth single by B'z, released on October 30, 1991. The sole single from their album from the same year IN THE LIFE, the single became a standout hit and was certified Triple Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan. With the launch of this single, its subsequent album, and their growing catalogue of hits, B'z earned the title of the artist with the most discs sold for the year of 1991.
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 "ALONE" coming in eighth place.
