Ichibu to Zenbu/DIVE (イチブトゼンブ, A Part & All) is the forty-sixth overall and second double A-side single by B'z, released on August 5, 2009.

On the June 14, 2013 edition of Music Station, B'z made an appearance in a one-hour B'z-themed special in which they performed "Q&A" to support the release of B'z The Best XXV 1999-2012 as well as taking the stage to perform top fan requests. Weeks earlier, fans had been directed to a special area on the Music Station website where they were to vote for their favorites that they would like to see the band perform on the show. At the end of the program, B'z performed three classics that had made it into the top 5: "LOVE PHANTOM", "Hadashi no Megami", and "ultra soul", which itself was voted to the top spot. "Ichibu to Zenbu" took eighth in the voting, which made it the newest song to be listed by eight years.

Track listing

  1. Ichibu to ZenbuA Part & All, イチブトゼンブ
    An instant hit with its infectious melody and rhythm, "Ichibu to Zenbu" has become one of the most popular singles of the latter B'z era.
  2. DIVE
  3. National Holiday
    Originally used as the ending music to B'z LIVE-GYM 2008 "ACTION", "National Holiday" made its release debut here. Unlike with "Mienai Chikara ~INVISIBLE ONE~/MOVE" that was released without one, this song gave this double A-side single a B-side. The song has never been collected elsewhere and has never been performed live by the band.
