B'z The Best "Pleasure" is the third compilation album by the Japanese rock duo B'z and released in 1998. It includes many of the group's hit singles from 1989 to 1998. With the exception of "Be There" and 'Bad Communication E.Style", all the songs are #1 hits on the Oricon charts.^[1]

The album reached 1st at Oricon with more than 2.7 million copies sold in its first week, and topped the charts for more three weeks. It sold more than 5 million copies in 1998 alone,^[2][3] making it the best-selling album in Japanese music history during its release, until being surpassed by Hikaru Utada's First Love in 1999.^[4]

Both it and its companion album, The Best "Treasure," were released by the band in response to their former label BMG Japan releasing its own compilation album called Flash Back - B'z Early Special Titles the previous year. That album, which consisted of music from their early career that neither they nor Vermillion had the rights to, was disavowed by both Inaba and Matsumoto, and they do not consider it an official part of their discography.
