Track listing

1. OCEAN

2. Narifuri Kamawazu Dakishimete — Embrace Closely Regardless of Appearance, なりふりかまわず抱きしめて

   Dead stock leftover from the band's fourteenth studio album, THE CIRCLE. Although it did not make the aforementioned album, it would go on to become the soccer cheer song for Asahi Shimbun's soccer coverage when included here. The song has not been performed live nor has it been collected elsewhere.

3. Dear my lovely pain

   Originally used as the ending music for B'z LIVE-GYM 2005 "CIRCLE OF ROCK". The demo presented there differs from that of the final released version found here. The song has never been performed live in either form, nor has it been collected on subsequent albums or compilations.
