"Red" is the fifty-second single by Japanese rock duo B'z. It was released on 10 June 2015.[1] It is their first non-album single since 2012's "Go for It, Baby (Kioku no Sanmyaku)" and their first single without a b-side since 1996's "Real Thing Shakes". The song was written to be Hiroshima Toyo Carp's pitcher Hiroki Kuroda's entrance song, and its title is a reference to the club's colors.[1]

Apart from its regular edition, the single also comes in a limited edition with a bonus DVD including the song's promotional video and live footage of their Yokohama Arena concert, part of their B'z LIVE-GYM 2015 -EPIC NIGHT-' tour in promotion of their then recent album Epic Day. It was also released in a "RED Edition" including a red case and a wrist band.[1]

It debuted in number one on the weekly Oricon Singles Chart.[2] It also reached number one on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 and the Top Singles Sales chart.[3][4] It was ranked #32 at Oricon's 2015 year-end chart[5] and #40 at Billboard Japan's.[6] The Recording Industry Association of Japan certified the single Gold for its sales of 100,000 copies.[7]
