  1. ayuni d solo is going to pass 1 million views too

     

     

     

    lately even non BiSH videos of wack has been getting or passing the 1 million mark

     

    It deserves it! I love both the song and video.

     

     

    EMPiRE new member NOW EMPiRE

     

     

    D4u0KaQUcAA6s7Z.jpg

     

    she is also the first member who's name doesn't start with an M or a Y imstupid.png

     

    She's so pretty! And it's kind of strange they didn't make her name start with M or Y since I don't think "Now" is her real name so I feel like they could have chosen something with M or Y.

  2. the first time i saw Gang parade they all have these outfits

     

    Vv7lULo.jpg

     

    that's my favorite uniform ever among all wack groups, now they feel pretty lazy

     

     

    This is also my favorite! I thought the lazyness for their outfits would change once their major debut was decided but I guess not... NOt that I hate their outfits but...

     

    And yeah BiSH is almost always good.

    X-JAPAN's YOSHIKI acknowleded Sotobayashi Kenta as well! Not exactly the outfits but the way he takes photos.

     

    YOSHIKI「Your artist photos? promotional photos? have great taste. Who takes them?ã€
    Chittiii「Every since we formed, it was always the photographer Sotobayashi Kenta-san.ã€
    YOSHIKI「I see... I want him to take a photo of me as wellã€
    BiSH「Whatttt really?ã€
     
    And he even said
    "This cover is great, I feel like I'm gonna get drunk, please bring me wine, see (shakes the cover), this alone is worth buying, please introduce him to me"
    LOL
     
    He really does have amazing taste overall though

  3. i'm surprised so many people want to audition after seeing what happened to the previous members 0u0plz.png

     

    THIS! Being a fan is already tough with all the emotional rollercoaster, can't imagine wanting to be a part of it...

     

    --

     

    Sigh... The loyalty of BiS fans are always being tested... I really don't know what to expect from the new BiS. I will give them a try (as always...) but I don't want to start loving the members (if any are new?) if something like this is gonna happen again.

     

    Some fans were talking about how "Are you ready?" was hinting at the disbandment because of the lyrics like "Hey papa, can I kill it?" -> "Can I kill (disband) BiS?"

     

    --

     

    I love the new GANG PARADE song, "Brand New Parade" and LOVE LOVE LOVE "Finally death"! 

     

    Looking forward to PEDRO as well!

  4. I still haven't listened to "Are you ready?". I want to, but I just haven't been in the mood. The recent changes were a few too many for me, and my level of interest dropped as a result. It doesn't mean I don't like BiS anymore, but I'm ready for a normal release without any gimmicks. The MV is in my playlist, so I'll get around to watching it soon. I've been meaning to go back and re-listen to BiS's releases over the past year. With the exception of "Whole Lotta Love/DiPromise", they're the songs I've probably listened to the least since they reformed.

     

    I think this is the 3rd time they've released "BiSBiS". Pour recorded a solo version following the announcement BiS would reform in 2016. There's also a group version, but I think it's only been performed at concerts. I could have sworn the original BiS recorded a version as well, but I couldn't find it in their discography.

     

     

    I believe this is the Interview where BiS talks about the phrase "Ikanakucha (I have to go)":

     

    https://natalie.mu/music/pp/bis07

     

    It's funny you brought this up. I'm in the process of backing up more interviews that I translated, and this is next on my list, lol. I just found it the other night after doing some backtracking in the thread. Otherwise, I wouldn't have remembered what you were talking about XD

     

    Really they released it three times? BiS is kind of a difficult group for me. I like the members and most of their songs (only after they reformed though, I listened to more than a few songs from the first BiS but I think the only song I liked enough to buy was FiNAL DANCE...) but I also feel like GANG PARADE and BiSH are enough for me... I also like EMPiRE but I haven't been keeping up with them much.

     

    I think the main reason I still give BiS songs a try is because of AyaPri and Hana. And I don't regret it because I still love WHOLE LOTTA LOVE, DiPROMISE, and Against the Pain (I like Don't miss it, but I don't listen to it much).

     

    --

     

    What a coincidence! I kind of like seeing the connection in lyrics from different WACK groups. It makes me think of how important the lyrics to both songs are. Like when BiSH released "Nothing" which referenced BiS "FiNAL DANCE", it made me love both songs more.

  5. I guess we'll learn the fate of the low ranking BiS members at the finals. I accept that WACK is chaotic by nature (It's mandatory if you want to be a fan), but I still feel really bad for Aya Pri and Yuina. Aya is an original member of the new BiS, and this is the second time she's been removed from the group. I think she deserves better. Yuina is in a similar situation since this will be the second group she was removed from. I hope that Watanabe has some good planned for them.

     

    I think BiS works well with all 9 members. The BiS.League could have been successful if Watanabe had approached it differently. It had long term potential, but it was too much for the members to handle.

     

    This. I became a fan of BiS after it became new but I can't imagine what it's like if you were a fan since the first BiS...

    I remember being really sad about Momoland leaving the group and so much has already changes since then.

     

    And "Are you ready?" wasn't really my cup of tea. I only listened to it once so I can't really say confidently that I won't like it in the future but I don't know. Even with the other songs I felt iffy about, I still had a feeling somewhere that I wouldn't mind listening to it a few more times but for this one, not so much (or at all...). Thankfully I liked the other song "BiSBiS" which isn't even a new song but I didn't know about it until now...

     

    On a side note, WACK must really like the phrase "Ikanakucha (I have to go)" lol.

     

    BiSH's Hoshi ga matataku yoru ni "Ikanakucha bakemono datte kini sunna"

    GANG PARADE's "Ikanakucha sa ikitomete"

    BiS's WHOLE LOTTA LOVE "Ikanakucha tte utaisugite" (lol this translates to "I/we sang 'we have to go' too much"

    BiS's BiS "Ikanakucha kagayaku ano sekai ni"

    BiS's BiSBiS's "Ikanakucha nando datte mune ga odoruyo"

     

    I believe the interview talking about this phrase was translated before but here it is (again?):

     

    ──What's symbolic is the phrase "Ikanakucha (I have to go)" that was used in both BiS and BiSBiS. It's always used in a song that can be considered the group's turning point and here it's used like "Ikanakuchtte utaisugite melody wasshoi (Sang 'ikanakucha' so many times that the melody is like wasshoi*) (*wasshoi is like a chant used at festivals) and it turned into a comical phrase.

     

    Go Zeela: Instead of "I have to go!" like it's some kind of determination, it's more of a fun mood like "Let's go~ Wassoi!" (laughs)

     

    Peri: Yeah its'a new form of "Ikanakucha"

     

    Aya: I felt that it was an "Ikanakucha" meant for us 6.

     

    Pan: Before it was an "Ikanakucha" used to patch up new things that needed adjusting but for us 6, I was surprised "Ikanakucha" turned out like this (laughs).

     

    --

     

    I believe EMPiRE doesn't have an "Ikanakucha" yet so I guess there's not turning point yet (although I feel like there were lots already lol).

  6.  

    Ling Ling is from Shizuoka? Not that I thought she was actually from China but kind of didn't expect Shizuoka. I remember she talked about being homesick a lot so I thought she was from somewhere far from Tokyo (not that you can't get homesick if you're not too far away).

  7. Translation of the mayor's blog

    Super long and I did not proofread so may be hard to read

    Very sweet post that makes me respect Watanabe although what he does may be controversial at times:

     

    Long time no see.

     

    Now.

    For those who don't care, it probably didn't make sense at all, but

    for those who do, it ended up being a tremendous 2 days.

    This Saturday and Sunday, Onagawa became the "stage" for

     

    Going Going WACK TOUR "ONAGAWACK no Fes."

     

    For those who attended, thank you very much!

    Did you enjoy it?

     

    That aside BiSH is trending 1st place... lol

    I had a conference after a studying event so I wasn't able to watch Shabekuri,

    But we played hide and seek with everyone yesterday at Onagawa right?

    It's definitely you guys right?

     

    About a year ago in March, when I was drinking at an after party for Onagawa Restoration* Festival (Note: the real character for restoration is 復興 but for this event it 復幸 which roughly translates to 'Happiness again')

    I told Masaki-kun (hereinafter referred to as Takamasa-kun) who is a senior Researcher/Kenkyuin and the president of Kamaboko Honpo Takamasa, "Something like Onagawa and WACK is ONAGAWACK? lol" as a joke,

    At the time this fes was only a joke.

    It became reality, contents that we didn't even think were possible were enforced,

    As a result, the fun and laughter also surpassed our expectation,

    They made this something that can't be called anything but God-Eve (God+Event).

    The moment I felt God-Eve the strongest was on the second day when SCK-san performed nerve.

    The moment the song started, BiS stormed in and became back dancers,

    and all the Researchers gathered like the Wall of Death.

    How this was displayed in the middle of the town proudly was a masterpiece lol.

    Artists under WACK, management, those who attended as well as everyone involved,

    I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.

     

    Shogai Gakushu Center Hall which became the venue for the first day of the live,

    officially opened as a shared space last October 1st.

    For the opening of that event, we invited Sato Muneyuki-san and Mori Masako-san,

    and we held live shows for the citizens of Onagawa,

    (Although the real opening date was September 30 when we had a Sanma Event and the first

    artist to sing at this event may have been the guest of the even, Yuffi lol)

    But on the other hand, there was one thing we wanted to do, and that is attract customers from out of town,

    at the same time we wanted a performance that can be independent.

    When you hear town facility event, some expect it to be meant for those who live there,

    While that may be true, what about Shibuya Public Hall for example?

    Or Saitama Super Arena?

    It brings people from all over the country.

    Although there are differences in convenience for transportation, isn't Onagawa the same?

    We wanted people outside of town to come here and spend time in this town and use the public facilities.

    and while they enjoy themselves, we also wanted their help to bring liveliness to this town.

    And for that to come true, I was hoping for our first performance to be edgy and make people think

    "Onagawa has done it again lol"

    That came into shape outdoors and in the best way possible,

    and the commemorable first event, without any assistance money, was ONAGAWACK Live DAY, this completely pure performance.

    That is the story behind what we categorized as one of events for the opening of this public space.

    That is also the reason this town became the joint sponsors for this event.

    And this is actually the only part this town (note the government) participated in.

    Of course we sent people over to help out at each event, but

    for almost everything, WACK-san and the citizens of Onagawa managed.

    Although I called this the 'completely pure performance',

    those who came both days may know, but

    for WACK-san, they either broke even or had a slight deficit.

    They did everything thinking of the people of Onagawa in mind first.

    With Watanabe-san at the head, we were given the greatest form of kindness from WACK-san,

    I cannot thank them enough.

     

    And to the leading figure from the Onagawa side who planned this miracle,

    or rather the instigator himself, Takamasa-kun.

    He talked about my job to Watanaba-san and made this even come true,

    he planned the Asabi (play) DAY to mix together the citizens and members from WACK,

    he was pretty much the only executive committee and the head of the executive committee who brainstormed and planned.

    He accepted the projects and offered hospitality,

    and even accepted things that were uncontrollably left out and even the operations for the field.

    Of course it was made possible by the citizens of Onagawa, but if not for his passion, this fes wouldn't have happened.

    His passion made everyone move.

     

    And out of all the wotas, he is the oldest Researched who already had a relationship with Onagawa.

    In 2012, there was a Sanma event, which was later named the God-Field, is where everything started.

    He went along with the ending theme song for the Sanma event, Sanma de Samba and started a moshpit, bringing liveliness to the event.

    Every time BiS and former members had a live, he would come over to Onagawa and we spent time together.

    After a while, he started coming even when there wasn't a live.

    That circle kept getting bigger and connects to now.

    Because of the, we were able to make these two days happen.

     

    Of course what created this connection was BiS and all their former members.

    The founder, Pour-chan, and all the other first generation members up to the current members,

    Without these girls, the magic spell of the sun wouldn't exist,

    and there would be nothing connecting to this day.

    Although the first connection may have been the tragedy that is the earthquake,

    But that connections created countless connections.

     

    And with Researchers as the lead, Janitors and Players, Agents, and everyone else.

    They understood the meaning of our connection and therefore followed the rules properly.

    and connected with Onagawa, and made both days of this event fun.

     

    With all these gathered and mixed together, these two miraculous days happened.

    The existence of everyone who participated,

    these two days became legendary.

    ​Artists, participants, citizens of Onagawa,

    I wouldn't have imagined how much it would bring smiles to everyone's faces

    I thought, is this even possible? Such days like these past two days.

    Being able to be there and spending the same time with everyone,

    I only feel happiness.

     

    primal may be my favorite song.

    6 and a half years ago, everyone was sliding and getting muddy in the rain.

    At the time, maybe there about 20 Researchers.

    At the chorus of primal, they held up a towel that said "Love Onagawa".

    And we would see that every time primal was performed at Onagawa.

    It would bring tears to my eyes every time with the feeling of appreciation.

    And that feeling came around this time too.

     

    In the venue, many held up that "Onagawa Love".

    And in order to live up to that love,

    and to deepen this connection,

    and to make this town a fun place,

    we will do a lot of things.

    So please continue working with us.

    And let's keep this relationship.

    Really, thank you everyone very much!

  8. I don't think BiSH has hit their ceiling just yet. They're always popping up in places you don't expect which gives more people a chance to discover them. They have allot lined up this year and it's only Feb. Watanabe's done an excellent job at getting endorsement deals, soundtracks, merchandise, etc. BiSH seems to have their hands in just about everything. It's weird to think that they only went major in May 2016. They're still such a young group.

     

    Oh, and I'm guessing the girl with the striking hair is Chitti?

     

    I think the girl with the striking hair is Ling Ling since her name is the most normal lol.

     

     

    "After all these introductions, suddenly it's Ling Ling? Such a simple name"

     

    Found some inside stories (?) for Onagawack. Very sweet.

     

    "After the earthquake, one girl's mail lead to #ONAGAWACK and the town was filled with smiles.

    Most of Onagawa was swallowed and destroyed by the tsunami that day.

    We were in despair thinking 'I wouldn't be surprised no matter what happens'.

    Seeing our town for the past two days, I am able to see an akarui mirai (bright future) and am able to think 'Anything can happen'

    Thank you everyone"

     

    "#ONAGAWACK behind the story 1

    Did you read Onagawa's mayor's blog yet?

    It has the story of the start of ONAGAWACK.

    Last March, our mayor said 'BiSH Okinawa is causing a lot of buzz! If they did everything here too, then it will be Onagawa and WACK so ONAGAWACK!'

    The next day, a female middle school student said 'Takamasa-san (the poster), I want BiSH to see Onagawa too...'

    The day after that JunJun (Watanabe) immediately said OK"

     

    "#ONAGAWACK behind the story 2

    'Isn't Haruna the one singing WINTER SONG?'

    and there were people who looked up at the speaker.

    Here's the story, all the GANG PARADE songs that can be heard from Onagawa's brick road were all 9 member versions.

    All of it including the ones on the CD that came with the Blu-ray.

    I'm thankful that they lent us the music that you can't normally hear

    #OnagawaBGM"

     

    "#ONAGAWACK behind the story 3

    Another story from #OnagawaBGM request project.

    Many requested EMPiRE's unreleased song, 'Pierce' and when I discussed with their manager, he said,

    'Everyone in WACK, everyone in EMPiRE are extremely looking forward to it!!!!!'

    ''Please play 'Pierce' in Onagawa!'

    And they willingly lent us the song!"

     

    "#ONAGAWACK behind the story 4

    #BiSH were asked to go around handing out Sumibiyaki (grilled food),

    and Chittiii and Ling Ling were wrapped in smoke grilling Sanma (type of fish)!

    Even when I warned them that the smell if strong and it wouldn't come off even after cleaning,

    Ling Ling says '....I want to so it's okay'

    And her manager says 'She says she wants to so...'

    I cried"

     

    "#ONAGAWACK behind the story 5

    In between the activities, each group went around the stores and Sanma helping out.

    As expected of BiS who have been creating a relationship with Onagawa!

    There were too many stores requesting for BiS that they had to divide into 4 groups and all the stores had great success!

    BiS were able to spread their circle of smiles.

    We caused a lot of trouble for the managers though..."

     

    I want to translate the mayor's blog post but it's super long so I will try to do it tomorrow.

  9. I didn't know they were going to be on Shabekuri!

     

    This tweet pretty much describes a lot of people's first reactions to BiSH

     

    "I found out about the band BiSH for the first time today. Their chants were unexpected (very perverted) The girl with the striking hair has the most normal name and overall they seem to be working hard. I feel relieved that Ling Ling is more normal than she looks"

     

    Hopefully they will gain new fans.

  10. We've lost 2 members from last year's Training Camp. Things aren't boding well for this generation.

     

    It sounds like the BiS.League was having a negative impact on the members, and they must have approached Watanabe about ending it. I'm thinking the ones that were singled out could be forming a new group. If you merge BiS1st and 2nd, that's too many members to do justice to the vocals.

     

     

    It's actually coming up on a year since the start of the last training camp.

     

    I liked the idea behind the BiS.League, but I don't think the execution was handled well. Too many changes and it didn't seem fun for the members.

     

    Yeah I can't believe it's been so long since the last training camp. There has been so many things going on with each group and things are changing before I can even get used to it...

  11. 2nd BiS LEAGUE result has been announced. Here is the video

     

     

    There are some news from watanabe that follows the announcement:

    1. BiS will still be in league system (BiS 1st, BiS 2nd) until March, before the release of their new single.

    2. There will be a single release on March that contain all 10 of BiS members (not splited in 2 subgroup)

    3. Something will happen to Toriaez Hana, Muropanako, YUiNA EMPiRE, Nel Nehru, and Aya Eightprince after the single release.

     

    Watanabe have not mention yet what will happen to the 5 girls in the video, but he announce it in the idol koshien that they will participate in wack camp audition on March along with Ayuni D, Yamamachi Miki, and MAYU EMPiRE.

     

     

    A shocking news came from BiS right in the new year. Suddenly Nel Nehru leaves BiS T_T

    Here is the translated official announcement that i copied from https://wackisidol.co.uk/

     

    "2019.01.01 03:00

     

    Regarding Nel Nehru

    Thank you for your continued support of BiS.

    This update is to inform you of changes with Nel Nehru.

    Although we have been in discussions about this for a while, she has been struggling both physically and mentally and it has come to the point that it is difficult for her to continue on in BiS.

    So, from today, she will be withdrawing from BiS.

    For the January 3rd performance of this year, ‘WACK at Koshien’, BiS will be perform with 9 members.

    We sincerely apologize to all Researchers for the suddenness of this announcement.

    I humbly thank you for your ongoing and continued support of BiS."

     

    The official announcement from the website:

    https://www.brandnewidolsociety.tokyo/posts/5495182?categoryIds=141515

     

    WHAT?! It seems like it was only yesterday that she joined the group (probably because I'm too behind lol).

    "I don't know what will happen tour" lol literally...

     

     

    But I'm glad they're stopping the whole BiS league thing.

  12.  

     

     

    I'm always surprised when I find out Watanabe and Matsukuma are writing such beautiful lyrics lol. I'm really excited for this album.  Dockson wrote the lyrics to another song ahmagahplz.png

     

    NON TiE-UP live at Makuhari Messe 22/12.

     

     

    LOL I wonder how the whole band felt hearing the lyrics. 

     

    BiSH - stereo future live 

     

    I love this song so much and hearing them sing it live made me love it more.

    Aina and Chittiii of course sounds great but I'm also impressed by Ayuni at 2:40

     

    There is a bunch of news to announce :p

     

    First, from BiS

     

    They have been done a 100km marathon with ekiden system. Its for BiS LEAGUE promotion of course, but this time the promotion is different then the previous bis league. They don't doing any individual promotion at all this time, they prefer to promoting themselves as one grup, BiS!

     

     

     

     

    Second, from BiSH

     

    They have been done their final concert tour BRiNG iCiNG SHiT HORSE TOUR FiNAL "THE NUDE". It is a very pretentious concert with 17000 audiences! BiSH wore a special outfit for this concert *I dont really like the outfit unsure.png. In the middle of the concert, watanabe announced that there will be a solo debut project for atsuko!

     

    DvBxJLJVYAEkvTr?format=jpg&name=large

     

     

     

    Third, from GANG PARADE

     

    They have released a special movie for CAN'T STOP. It containing the members childhood photos. There are very few photos of yui :"(

     

     

     

    Ganpare has released a new mv too! The title is 『夜暗ã„夢ã€, i think it reads Yoru Kurai Yume. Its a very naughty mv asurpriseblushplz.png Guess who wrote the lyrics and compose the music hurrplz.png

     

     

     

    The track list of the LAST GANG PARADE album have been revealed too. Almost all of the songs written by the members. You can check it out on the new mv description.

     

     

    I had no idea BiS did the whole Ekiden thing! instead of as separate groups?

     

    I don't really like the outfit BiSH wore either but I think it suits Ayuni.

     

     omg Yua and Haruna wrote the song?! And Haruna even  composed it! LOL Coco is hilarious. The "Shunka shutou" part is really catchy.
