Off The Lock is the second studio album by the Japanese rock duo B'z, released on May 21, 1989. [1] It was the second album they released for BMG Victor's Air Records imprint.
The band's first-ever "Live-Gym" tour was in support of this album, and despite them being relatively new, tickets were sold out, a taste of what was to come. [1]
The album peaked at number 33 on the Oricon Albums Chart and sold 4,590 copies in its first week, eventually selling 604,700 copies throughout its chart run. [2] It was later certified Million by the RIAJ in 1996. [3]
In an interview, vocalist Koshi Inaba expressed struggles he had while writing the lyrics, saying, "I was very impatient with the situation where the songs had already been written, but the lyrics I was in charge of were not ready at all, and it was depressing to think about the lyrics all the time." He also said, "Even though I struggled to write lyrics, I was criticized by others, so many times I wanted to give up and run away in the middle of writing the lyrics." [4]
All lyrics are written by Koshi Inaba; all music is composed by Tak Matsumoto
