	'''GOLD''' is the thirty-second [[B'z Singles\|single]] by [[B'z]], released on August 8, 2001. The single, a classic ballad, was in stark contrast to the high-energy of the band's previous single. Despite coming out within the band's ''[[GREEN]]'' era, the single was not collected on the album unlike with "[[ultra soul]]", which received an updated version for the release. When asked why, Koshi said that since the band already had another prominent ballad with "[[Everlasting (Lyrics)\|Everlasting]]" for the album, they did not feel that "GOLD" would be a good fit. However, the song was later collected on ''[[The Ballads ~Love & B'z~]]'' in 2002, ''[[B'z The Best "Pleasure II"]]'' in 2005, and ''[[B'z The Best XXV 1999-2012]]'' in 2013.

	The song ~~has only been~~ performed on one Japan tour, ~~with~~ that being [[B'z LIVE-GYM 2001 "ELEVEN"]] where it was added late in the tour and premiered live before it was officially released. It was also one of twenty songs performed in the band's first international performances during [[B'z LIVE-GYM in Taipei & Hong Kong 2001]]. Twelve years later, the song was revived as part of [[B'z LIVE-GYM Pleasure 2013 -ENDLESS SUMMER-]] where it alternated with "[[RUN\|Gekkou]]" in the hall tour, while in the dome portion of the tour it alternated with "[[ALONE]]" and "[[OCEAN]]". The first home video release featuring a performance of the song was on the Premium Live DVD included in the limited edition of ''[[B'z The Best "ULTRA Pleasure"]]''. Ten performances were showcased, with the footage for "GOLD" being the first glimpse of footage from the [[B'z LIVE-GYM 2001 "ELEVEN"\|"ELEVEN" tour]]. Later, in 2013, the full show was released on DVD as ''[[B'z LIVE-GYM 2001 -ELEVEN- (Home Video)\|B'z LIVE-GYM 2001 -ELEVEN-]]''.

	A special promotional video was filmed in and around Sapporo Dome during the band's touring schedule that featured members of the band's staff in the spotlight as they prepared and assembled the stage. B'z also performed "GOLD" on television twice in the year 2001. First on ''[[Music Station]]'' in August just a week prior to its official release, and again on the year's ''[[Music Station\|Music Station SUPER LIVE]]'' in December where they paired it with "[[ultra soul]]". Additionally, the song was also used as the theme to coverage of the Fukuoka World Swimming tournament in 2001.

	'''GOLD''' is the thirty-second [[B'z Singles\|single]] by [[B'z]], released on August 8, 2001. The single, a classic ballad, was in stark contrast to the high-energy of the band's previous single. Despite coming out within the band's ''[[GREEN]]'' era, the single was not collected on the album unlike with "[[ultra soul]]", which received an updated version for the release. When asked why, Koshi said that since the band already had another prominent ballad with "[[Everlasting (Lyrics)\|Everlasting]]" for the album, they did not feel that "GOLD" would be a good fit. However, the song was later collected on ''[[The Ballads ~Love & B'z~]]'' in 2002, ''[[B'z The Best "Pleasure II"]]'' in 2005, and ''[[B'z The Best XXV 1999-2012]]'' in 2013.
