B'z is the self-titled debut album for the Japanese rock duo B'z.

It was released on September 16, 1988, and only reached #47 on the Japanese charts.

The band would not tour in support of the album, because its nine songs were all the material they had at the time, and they felt it would not be a proper show with just 40 minutes of material.

One single was released from the album, "Dakara Sono Te Wo Hanashite."

Unlike the hard-rocking music that most associate with B'z, the album was very much a product of its times, with synthesizers and samplers sharing equal time with Tak's guitar.

The album sold 3,790 copies in its first week and eventually sold 338,360 in total.
