B’z vocalist Koshi Inaba appears on the cover of the lifestyle magazine “GOETHE” October issue (on sale August 23rd). It has been announced that the magazine will be reprinted for the third time.

In June, Koshi Inaba released his first solo album in 10 years, “Tadamono”. Due to a flood of pre-orders, the magazine was reprinted before its release date of August 23rd, and a third reprint was decided on the release date. On August 22nd, a black and white photo of Inaba was published on the “GOETHE” website, and this time, part of the cover story was also released.

“I know I can’t change the past, but sometimes I imagine a different life,” said Inaba, but he had such an overwhelming aura that everyone there couldn’t imagine him as anything other than a musician. On July 20th, heavy rain fell on the day of his solo tour live in Yokohama, and he commented, “There’s something about rain that’s always connected me.” During the shoot, rain was made to fall in the studio, showing his sexy side as the water dripped from his eyes.
