Japan's top selling musician
I think some editors should learn to read Japanese before posting references. Michiya Mihasi is Japan's highest selling musician with an estimate of 160 million records sold. He became the first Japanese musician to break the 100 million sales mark in 1983. This is achievement is mentioned in his profile at Oricon.

Sales
Please stop saying they are Japan's top selling music act.
There are many Japanese musicians that have sold more records than B'z.
Hibari Misora had sold around 70 million albums before the 1990's!

No offense to B'z fans, but its wrong to state such a claim. 220.253.16.5 (talk) 12:44, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
Link War
Links keep appearing, and then disappearing in line with WP:EL. But I think it's being misapplied. From the page referred to:
- Occasionally acceptable links
- 3 - Fan sites: On articles about topics with many fansites, including a link to one major fansite is appropriate, marking the link as such. In extreme cases, a link to a web directory of fansites can replace this link. (Note: fanlistings are generally not informative and should not ordinarily be included.)
Now I can think of one or two websites that could have a link included under this policy. I'm not going to add them myself. This in particular contains English translations of most B'z songs and many interviews. Given that this is an English article about a Japanese group I think it would be a reasonable link that would not violate WP policy. RB30DE 23:25, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Album Covers
Seeing as how we have none on the page anymore, should users themselves provide their own scans? I could provide those for Big Machine, Eleven, Survive, Brotherhood, Green, and Monster, but I was wondering if anyone else would be able to help. --Mr. Toto 06:58, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
This article is massive
How about whipping together the band's history and progress by using the official site's info: http://bz-vermillion.com/english/top/
Also, the discography is so big that it could be an article of it's own..
- That sounds great. I've been working on articles about B'z albums, EPs, singles, etc., and when I'm done with it, I'm gonna put everything together in a single "B'z discography" article, to provide a more comprehensive list.Victao lopes 17:31, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
