"We Are WACK!" ~ Official BiS, BiSH, GANG PARADE & EMPiRE Thread

Sasori · June 30, 2015

~ The Official BiSH - BiS - GANG PARADE - EMPiRE Thread ~

-------- Overview --------

WACK stands for "Watanabe Artistic Creative KK (Kabushi Kigaishiya - Japanese for a Limited Liability Company)". It's a collective of 4 groups: BiS, BiSH, GANG PARADE, and EMPiRE. They're Managed and Produced by Watanabe Junnosuke (JxSxK for short), who founded the company. His philosophy is "Scrap and Scrap" meaning that he doesn't like stability, and enjoys shaking thing up. It's not out of the ordinary for him to make his groups run marathons or trade members. Watanabe's partner in crime is Mastukuma Kenta, the collective's Sound Producer who also contributes Songwriting. The long term goal for WACK is to create a parody of Akimoto Yasushi's 48G system.

â€‹â€‹â€‹BiSH and BiS are at the forefront of the "Alternative Idol" movement in Japan. they are the brainchild of Producer Watanabe Juunosuke. A 3rd group, EMPIRE, is soon to be added to this stable of Alt-Idol groups. BiSH has become the most prominent of Watanabe's groups. The members of these groups are known for their unusual stage names like Momoko Gumi Company, Hashiyasumi Atsuko, and Pan Luna Leafy.

â€‹--------- History --------

â€‹BiS

â€‹BiS was formed by Pour Lui in 2010. The goal of the group was the "uglification" of Idols. To this end, she and her Manager/Producer Watanabe used controversial promotion tactics and the group released disturbing MVs that played with the accepted conventions of Idols. This led to BiS becoming the first of what would be termed "Alternative Idols". The chaos surrounding the group led to a high turn over in membership, with only Pour and one other original member, Nozomi Hirano, remaining constant. BiS disbanded in 2014 after a final concert at Yokohama Arena.

â€‹In 2016, on the 2 yr. Anniversary of BiS disbandment, it was announced that the group would be reforming. Only Pour Lui would return. Four new members were added: Aya EightPrince, Peri Ubu, Kikka Front Frontal, and Go Zeela. They quickly recorded 2 albums, one consisting of re-recordings of old BiS songs, and the other of all brand new material. This line-up would only last 6 months when, at the WACK Expo in April 2017, 2 new member were added from the WACK Auditions: Pan Luna Leafy and Momoland. In addition, Watanabe traded Aya to GANG PARADE and brought former BiS member and GP's co-Founder and Leader, Kamiya Saki, back into the fold.

â€‹This new 7 member BiS would release 2 Singles "SOCiALiSM" and "I can't say NO!!!!". At the group's October 6th "Idol Is Dead" concert, it was announced that BiS would make their Major Label debut for the 2nd time in March of 2018. At the WACK Fest in December 2017, Watanabe announced that the Trade would end in April of 2018.

BiSH

â€‹â€‹Known as the "Instrument-less Punk Band", BiSH was formed in March 2015 and debuted in May of the same year. They were intended to be the successor to BiS, Watanabe's first group, which had disbanded in 2014. They quickly became known for their shocking videos and the chaotic atmosphere surrounding their live concerts.

The original line-up consisted of Aina The End, Cent Chihiro Chittiii, Momoko Gumi Company, Hug Mii, and Yukako Love Deluxe. Yukako withdrew from the group before their official debut. Shortly afterwards two new members, Hashiyasumi Atsuko and Ling Ling, would be added to the group in August of 2015. In August of 2016, their newest member, Ayuni D, was added to the group.

â€‹On Nov. 4th 2017, BiSH surprised their fans by releasing a Tower Records exclusive version of their upcoming 2nd Album, THE GUERiLLA BiSH, before the official release date on Nov. 29th, 2017 (hence the name of the album). Priced at 299 Yen, it doesn't include cover art or a booklet. This "surprise" edition was available until Nov. 5th and sold out quickly.

MofShibuya · July 1, 2015

I'll update the OP with some stuff on those girls - any other requests for things people want to see? I was pretty much copying format from the C-ute thread on this board

eyeless · July 2, 2015

BiSH is the shit

Invader · July 3, 2015

I'm all for this thread, specially with all the First Summer Uika love. Can't wait to BILLIE IDLE's next album because I need more videos of them.

Same for BiSH, I need more performances because they have so much potential. I can't get enough of Aina's voice, she's so powerful. I found some videos of the stuff she was doing before BiSH (I don't know if she's still at it), not the same style but such a captivating voice.

BiSH is more in line with my music tastes so I'm glad to have a performer such as her in the group.

Haha, same with you, I'm a big fan of Aina's vocal. And she's my favorite member.

I really wish Maison book girl had their music available for listening online, "black" and "white" are both great singles but you can't stream them anywhere far as I know...

This was a great idea to create this thread for both BiS and BiSH activites.

Stuff was just happening to far between; a thread for just one would be a dead zone quickly.

I'll upload on Soundcloud

Whoa! You have the MBG singles?! Please post the link once you upload it to soundcloud. I've been wanting to hear it forever.

You are the best girlfriend, I hope you know that [emoji173]
