The 7th Blues is the seventh album released by Japanese hard rock band B'z, released on March 2, 1994.

Album Information

The album is the only double album released by the band. The first disc contains the pop-rock style songs that B'z built their career on. Notable tracks include "Love is Dead," which is very jazz oriented; "Strings of My Soul", an instrumental song that Tak performed during previous Live-Gyms; and Akai Kawa, which features a lengthy string and keyboard introduction. The second disc bases itself more on hard rock riffs and bluesy songs. Notable songs include "Jap the Ripper," a previously unreleased song that was played during the '93 Live-Gym tour; "Slave to the Night," a re-recording of "Heart wo Nureru Number" from the band's debut album with rewritten English lyrics; and "Lady Navigation," a bluesy acoustic version of the 1991 single with all English lyrics. Tak also experiments with sitars on some songs. The catalog code for this album is BMCR-6601-2

The album sold broke the million copies mark with over 1,049,900 copies sold in its first week and eventually sold over 1,630,450 copies in total.
