B'z is a Japanese duo rock band formed in 1988, consisting with Vocalist & Lyricist Koshi Inaba (稻葉浩志) and Producer Tak Matsumoto (松本孝弘), currently belongs to VERMILLION RECORDS under Being, Inc.

Originally they planned to name the band “A'z”, means A to Z, which means “Include everything from A to Z”. But A'z has been read as AIDS, and many other reasons beside this. After they discussed, they decided using “B'z” as the name of the band, because B is after A.

B'z released both their first single “Dakara Sono Te wo Hanashite (だからその手を離して)” and their first studio album B'z on September 21, 1988.
