BURN -Fumetsu no Face- (BURN -フメツノフェイス-) is the forty-fifth single by B'z, released on April 16, 2008. The song was used in tandem with a promotion for Kose Esprique Precious cosmetics. Upon release, the single debuted at #1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles chart and became the 41st consecutive #1 single for the band. The song made its album debut when it was voted for inclusion by fans on one of the band's two 20th anniversary collections, B'z The Best "ULTRA Treasure", as the thirteenth track on the second disc. Later, in 2013, it was collected with fellow singles on B'z The Best XXV 1999-2012.
The single became the first since "FIREBALL" was released in 1997 that B'z tied-up with a major cosmetics promotion. The band made no promotional appearances on television to promote the single despite doing so for other recent releases, due to the time of release overlapping with the band's touring schedule for B'z LIVE-GYM 2008 "ACTION". A promotional video for the single was filmed, however, which was broadcast on several music channels around the original release window.
As a result of 2008 being the year of the band's 20th anniversary and the new commemorative collections being released, this was the only new B'z single released for the year. As of 2013, "BURN -Fumetsu no Face-" has not been played live since the band's appearance at SUMMER SONIC 09.
