B'z Ranking ~Member's Voice EXTRA~

In October 2014, a survey was posted on the official B'z fan-club website requesting that members choose which songs—excluding major hits—that they haven't heard at a LIVE-GYM yet but would like to hear at one in the future. The results from the survey were published here in Be With! Vol. 104. The introductory text notes that there is no guarantee these songs will be played during the 2015 LIVE-GYM shows, but may be played at LIVE-GYMs in the future.
