	In August 1992, BMG and Being began a joint venture that established a new label by the name of '''BMG Rooms''' to handle B'z releases. Being, known for their Being GIZA group of artists, was directed and founded by [[Daiko Nagato]], who was the mentor that originally introduced Tak to Koshi's demo tape and led to their first meeting.

	By the mid-1990s, B'z had decided to leave BMG Japan and establish themselves under terms where they would have full control over their output. As of September 1995, Being had purchased all remaining stock in the joint label under which B'z had been operating, '''BMG Rooms''', which had been co-owned by Being and BMG. With the purchase, a new subsidiary under Tak and Koshi's control was established with a new label: '''Rooms Records'''. Soon thereafter, beginning in January 1996, the band's distribution and publishing vendor was changed to J-DISC—now known as J-DISC Being—which was the distribution company in charge of Being releases. This severed the remaining ties that B'z had to BMG Japan.

	While B'z had re-negotiated their deal after they had their first taste of mainstream success, the publication rights to their earliest works remained with BMG. This included their first three singles and their first three albums as well as their first mini-album, ''[[BAD COMMUNICATION]]''. This led to the release of ''[[Flash Back -B'z Early Special Titles-]]'' by BMG in April 1997. The release was not authorized or endorsed by the band members, whose images and insignias were legally prohibited from appearing on any packaging or marketing materials. The songs included on the release were all drawn from albums still under BMG control, from their self-titled debut album ''[[B'z (Album)\|B'z]]'', their second album ''[[OFF THE LOCK]]'', their third album ''[[BREAK THROUGH]]'', and their first mini-album, ''[[BAD COMMUNICATION]]''. One year later, B'z released their own official compilations under the titles of ''[[B'z The Best "Pleasure"]]'' and ''[[B'z The Best "Treasure"]]'' for their tenth anniversary. The pair of official albums would go on to become the second and fifth highest selling albums in Japanese history, respectively, with over ten million copies sold between them in their release year alone.
