	"ARIGATO" shares a distinction with very few other B'z songs in that between its public unveiling and eventual release, it changed significantly. When it was premiered during TV Asahi's sports coverage a few months before release, various parts of the arrangement, lyrics, and general song construction were changed. The lyrics, especially, are almost entirely different for much of the song, with all of the English portions of the final song not yet present. Notably, the melody in the demo version is much different as well. While the final version is melancholy in its own way, the demo has a certain dark and dreary visage that was changed from the studio version. Additionally, the provisional title for the song was "Soko ni Daremo Inakute mo" (Even If There Should Be No One There), a lyric that remains in both the original and final versions of the song.

	In its only live performances as part of [[B'z SHOWCASE 2007 -19-]], the song was played one semitone down from the studio version.

	'''ARIGATO''' is the thirty-seventh [[B'z Singles\|single]] by [[B'z]], released on September 1, 2004.		'''ARIGATO''' is the thirty-seventh [[B'z Singles\|single]] by [[B'z]], released on September 1, 2004. Prepared and produced ahead of time with the intention of being the band's only single for their first "solo year", that distinction was usurped by the "urgent release" of "[[BANZAI]]" a few months earlier. The year would see [[Koshi Inaba]] embarking on his first solo tour, [[Koshi Inaba LIVE 2004 ~en~]], and [[Tak Matsumoto]] touring with his supergroup consisting of himself, [[Eric Martin]] of Mr. Big and [[Jack Blades]] of Night Ranger. With their schedules packed in such a way, B'z produced the single well ahead of time with time to make adjustments as was necessary leading up to its September release.

			"ARIGATO" shares a distinction with very few other B'z songs in that between its public unveiling and eventual release, it changed significantly. When it was premiered during TV Asahi's sports coverage a few months before release, various parts of the arrangement, lyrics, and general song construction were changed. The lyrics, especially, are almost entirely different for much of the song, with all of the English portions of the final song not yet present. Notably, the melody in the demo version is much different as well. While the final version is melancholy in its own way, the demo has a certain dark and dreary visage that was changed from the studio version. Additionally, the provisional title for the song was "Soko ni Daremo Inakute mo" (Even If There Should Be No One There), a lyric that remains in both the original and final versions of the song.

			In its only live performances as part of [[B'z SHOWCASE 2007 -19-]], the song was played one semitone down from the studio version. This is of special interest as this is essentially unprecedented with B'z live works. No reason has been given for this to date, though the performances Were very warmly received and were later seen on [[B'z Home Videos\|home video]] for ''[[B'z LIVE in Namba 2006 & B'z SHOWCASE 2007 -19- at Zepp Tokyo (Home Video)\|B'z SHOWCASE 2007 -19- at Zepp Tokyo]]''.

The song's only proper [[B'z Television Appearances\|television appearance]] came during ''[[Music Station\|Music Station SUPER LIVE 2004]]''.

	Upon release, the single sold 188,000 copies in its first week, earning it the top spot on the Weekly Oricon Singles chart and selling enough to be number one for the month of September 2004 as well. After spending 11 weeks on the charts and being certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan, "ARIGATO" finished 27th in total sales for 2004.
