	#: [[File:s05_01.ogg]] ~~As the band's first number-one hit, "~~Taiyou no Komachi Angel" is remembered by the general public and fans alike as a signature B'z song. Its Latin-inspired rhythm makes it a unique entry in the band's wider catalogue and its kinetic live energy makes it a perennial live choice. The signature clapping rhythm and choral interactions with the audience have made it a mainstay amongst the band's shows, for which it is typically brought out for [[Pleasure]] shows at this point. While originally a non-album single, it would be collected eight years later on ''[[B'z The Best "Pleasure"]]'' and later ''[[B'z The Best XXV 1988-1998]]'' in 2013.		#: [[File:s05_01.ogg]] {{Taiyou no Komachi Angel Song}}

	#: [[File:s05_02.ogg]] ~~In contrast to the end-of-summer energy of the A-side, "~~Good-bye Holy Days" is a soft ballad number. The song was premiered live in acoustic form during [[B'z LIVE-GYM Pleasure'92 "TIME"]] in its only live appearance. Although guitar is not a major feature in the single version, Tak said in early interviews that it was one of his favorites of all the band had produced to that point. To date, the full tour has not been released on [[B'z Home Videos\|home video]] nor has it been collected on any other album or release.		#: [[File:s05_02.ogg]] {{Good-bye Holy Days Song}}

	The title song would become the first B'z song to begin with the bridge and chorus before seguing into the first verse. At the time of recording, Tak originally resisted the title Koshi had suggested but it eventually stuck. The tune is one that feels very distant from the band's Japanese roots with strong influence of Latin dance at its core. Koshi stated in an interview that they "tried to reflect 'season' through the melody and arrangement" and that the song is one "filled with the feeling of 'season'". The song was given a completely English makeover on the 1990 mini album ''[[WICKED BEAT]]'' under the title "[[WICKED BEAT\|Komachi-Angel Red Hot Style]]".

	'''Taiyou no Komachi Angel''' ''(太陽のKomachi Angel, Town Angel from the Sun)'' is the fifth [[B'z Singles\|single]] by [[B'z]] and their first number-one hit, released on June 13, 1990.		'''Taiyou no Komachi Angel''' ''(太陽のKomachi Angel, Town Angel from the Sun)'' is the fifth [[B'z Singles\|single]] by [[B'z]] and their first number-one hit, released on June 13, 1990. The single was released less than three weeks after fellow non-album single "[[BE THERE]]" as part of one of the busiest years in the band's history but would also prove to be amongst their most important. Here, the band captured their first number one single and began their record-setting run of consecutive number-one singles. It would first be collected as part of the best-selling B'z compilation ''[[B'z The Best "Pleasure"]]'' in 1998. Ultimately, the song was a near miss for the 30 fan selections included on ''[[B'z The Best "ULTRA Treasure"]]'' in 2008 after ranking in at 34. However, it would be found again amongst all of the band's other singles on ''[[B'z The Best XXV 1988-1998]]'' in 2013 as part of their 25th anniversary commemoration.

			The title song would become the first B'z song to begin with the bridge and chorus before seguing into the first verse. At the time of recording, Tak originally resisted the title Koshi had suggested but it eventually stuck. The tune is one that feels very distant from the band's Japanese roots with strong influence of Latin dance at its core.

The Latin-infused rhythm is accentuated with clapping led by Koshi for the audience, seen in most of the song's live performances.

	The release of the single would prove to be one of the most pivotal in the band's history. With its debut at the top of the Weekly Oricon Singles chart with 52,000 in sales, it gave the band their first number one single and would begin a record streak of consecutive singles that have continued to take home the honor for over two decades. The single ranked as the 27th highest-selling for the year of 1990 and spent a total of 47 weeks on the charts. Ultimately, the single was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan.		The release of the single would prove to be one of the most pivotal in the band's history.
