  KEKB is a double-ring electron/positron collider with a horizontal crossing angle. The crab cavities installed in 2007 achieved an effective head-on collision and gained a higher specific luminosity. Under the new crabbing collision as well as the horizontal crossing collision, tune spectra of a colliding bunch were observed on a spectrum analyzer to study beam-beam effects. The beam-beam spectrum showed strong nonlinear resonant phenomena. Considering the nonlinearity, the coherent beam-beam tune shift was measured as a function of the bunch current. It was confirmed that the vertical beam-beam parameter estimated from the coherent beam-beam tune shift agreed with a value obtained from a bunch-by-bunch luminosity monitor. The estimated vertical beam-beam parameter was saturated on a level of about 0.04, which is called a beam-beam limit. We found that the bunch current corresponding to the beam-beam limit was far below the bunch current used in the usual operation.
