The setlist changed frequently during the tour, with several songs coming and going a number of times throughout. Classic B'z singles "[[Kimi no Naka de Odoritai]]" and "[[LADY-GO-ROUND]]"—the band's second and third singles—were performed for the first time in seventeen and eighteen years, respectively. Album song "[[RISKY|FRIDAY MIDNIGHT BLUE]]" from ''[[RISKY]]'' also saw a return, which would mark the first occasion since 1992 it had been played live by the band. Perhaps even more notable were the inclusions of ''[[IN THE LIFE]]'' and ''[[GREEN]]'' album songs "[[IN THE LIFE|Sore Demo Kimi ni wa Modorenai]]" and "[[GREEN|FOREVER MINE]]", which saw their live debuts during the hall portion of the tour. Other highlights included an acoustic version of [[Ai no Mama ni Wagamama ni Boku wa Kimi Dake wo Kizutsukenai]].

B'z LIVE-GYM 2008 "ACTION" was a LIVE-GYM tour held by B'z in 2008. The tour ran from January 28, 2008 to August 17, 2008. The shows toured the entirety of Japan, with eighteen hall performances and thirty-five reserved for arenas. To kick off the band's 25th anniversary celebration, the tour was finally announced for DVD and Blu-ray as B'z LIVE-GYM 2008 -ACTION- and given a release date of January 30, 2012.

The setlist changed frequently during the tour, with several songs coming and going a number of times throughout. Classic B'z singles "Kimi no Naka de Odoritai" and "LADY-GO-ROUND"—the band's second and third singles—were performed for the first time in seventeen and eighteen years, respectively. Album song "FRIDAY MIDNIGHT BLUE" from RISKY also saw a return, which would mark the first occasion since 1992 it had been played live by the band. Perhaps even more notable were the inclusions of IN THE LIFE and GREEN album songs "Sore Demo Kimi ni wa Modorenai" and "FOREVER MINE", which saw their live debuts during the hall portion of the tour. Other highlights included an acoustic version of Ai no Mama ni Wagamama ni Boku wa Kimi Dake wo Kizutsukenai.

Footage of the tour went unreleased during the year, with the band's ensuing twentieth anniversary tour of B'z LIVE-GYM Pleasure 2008 -GLORY DAYS- taking precedent and receiving the home video treatment only a few months after it took place. Four years later, to kick off the band's 25th anniversary year, it was announced to fanclub members on November 19, 2012 that three previously unreleased LIVE-GYMs would be making their way to home video in three consecutive months to begin the new year. B'z LIVE-GYM 2008 -ACTION- was announced to be the first of the three, with DVD and Blu-ray editions announced for a January 30, 2013 release. The home video was filmed July 5-6 during the band's performances at Nippon Gaishi Hall in Nagoya Prefecture, Japan.

The touring members included Shane Gaalaas on drums, Barry Sparks on bass, and Takanobu Masuda on keyboards, with Shinichiro Ohta serving as backup guitarist and backup vocalist. All four would reprise their roles for the proceeding GLORY DAYS tour.
