	#: [[File:s51_01.ogg]] ~~The band's first single in nearly three years, "~~Uchouten" is a hard rock song designed to work well in a live setting with several call-and-response moments, priming it as a crowd pleaser. Koshi described it in the band's 2015 New Year's message as the "first new explosion of B'z sound in a long while" due to the hiatus between releases. The composition includes a bass solo prior to the guitar's and sports an arrangement that utilizes both solo guitar and full band instrumentation at alternating intervals. On the lyrics front, Koshi mentioned in a press release for ''Gakkou no Kaidan''—a school-centric drama series for which the song served as a theme—that he focused on the themes of "confidence and insecurity, happiness and sadness" and added, "This song is about cheering oneself up and trying to move on, while embracing these two conflicting feelings."		#: [[File:s51_01.ogg]] {{Uchouten Song}}
	#'''[[Endless Summer (Lyrics)\|Endless Summer]]'''		#'''[[Endless Summer (Lyrics)\|Endless Summer]]'''
	#: [[File:s51_02.ogg]] The titular song from the band's 25th anniversary tour [[B'z LIVE-GYM Pleasure 2013 -ENDLESS SUMMER-]], on which it served as the opener for the dome leg of the tour. While it could be heard in live form on the ensuing [[B'z LIVE-GYM Pleasure 2013 ENDLESS SUMMER -XXV BEST- (Home Video)\|home video release]], its inclusion here marks its studio debut. The lyrics to the song remain the same as the live version heard during the aforementioned tour, but the arrangement and some aspects offer some notable differences. Most predominantly, the guitar intro is more pronounced and of greater length, along with added depth via backing instrumentation in the chorus.		#: [[File:s51_02.ogg]] The titular song from the band's 25th anniversary tour [[B'z LIVE-GYM Pleasure 2013 -ENDLESS SUMMER-]], on which it served as the opener for the dome leg of the tour.

	The song and release were first revealed in a newspaper advert that ran all over Japan on December 3, 2014. The night before, a popup on the [[B'z Official Website\|official B'z website]] first teased the song. The reveal brought word that half of the show from 2013's [[B'z Special LIVE at EX THEATER ROPPONGI]] would be featured as a bonus DVD on the single's limited edition, thus making this release the first to premiere any footage from the event. Songs included in the performance ranged from rarities "[[Yasei no ENERGY]]", which had previously not been performed since [[B'z LIVE-GYM 2003 "BIG MACHINE"\|2003]], to ''[[ACTION]]'' staples "Kuroi Seishun" and "ONE ON ONE", and rarely-performed single "[[BANZAI]]". Most notably, the 1994 album song "Yami no Ame" from the double-album ''[[The 7th Blues]]'' makes its [[B'z Home Videos\|home video]] debut here. Additionally, those that purchased the single in stores would be given a choice between two different B2 size posters while supplies lasted, while those that pre-ordered online would receive a single complete with a special cover.
