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

[Sasori]

Thought I'd do something a bit different and actually post something from BiS, lol. They have a new single, I Can't Say NO!!! This is the best quality I could find for their perf on Buzz Rythym:

Can't find an MV for it.

 

Also, here's the epic BiSH/BiS/Gang Parade collab, WACK is FXXK. Rise Girls

Very brief article about this Shuffle Unit. Basically just states that Wack has become the hub for Alt Idol Groups. Not exactly news, but it does put things into perspective that we will probably see more of these Shuffle Units in the future.

Now the Saint Sex Unit makes even more sense. It was leading up to the album. Super excited for this! I've been looking for info on Empire, but there doesn't seem to be anything out there. They're supposed to be the next group to follow in the footsteps of BiS and BiSH, but all I've found are some auditions. They made an appearance at a BiSH concert over the summer, but that's about it.

EMPiRE have two songs up on their soundcloud, but none of the members sing on them, Watanabe does: https://soundcloud.com/user-599268784

I can't find much info on them either. All I was able to find is that they first had their faces covered except their eyes and they announced that they would reveal their faces when their followers reach 10k but YU-Ki EMPIRE's followers grew unnaturally fast and they found out fans were buying followers or something so even if they reached 10k followers, they didn't reveal their faces until 9/28. I found their profiles but it's not official so I don't know if it's a trustworthy source. I will translate it when I find an interview or something with more info.

 

All the members are so pretty...

 

Edit: They're going to have a unveiling/introduction live on 11/23 so maybe more info will start coming out then.

I remember when the Empire members appeared at that BiSH Concert wearing those robes. I was hoping they wouldn't have to wear those permanently. It never occurred to me that it was to hide their appearance. With Watanabe's voice on the Soundcloud songs, demos probably, this makes even more sense that they're maintaining secrecy about everything until the unveiling. This has really got me hyped for their debut.

 

I'm curious what kind of concept Empire will be doing. BiS is really weird and intense while BiSH is edgy, but more accessible. I guess they'll either stay in the same vein as these groups or do something completely different.

They've actually already unveiled their faces. My understanding is that they wanted each of their twitter accounts to reach 15k followers, but I guess they gave up on that idea. Watanabe singing the songs, is probably just because it's Watanabe and he's being weird.

Oooo, thanks for this! telecasterstripes up above was saying that people were doing something fishy to get the 15k followers which might be why they abandoned that idea.

omg new PV

 

 

Completely different from GiANT KiLLERS but still great. It's their first time shooting their PV overseas. Amazed by Ayuni.

[Shane1]

I love it! The album is avaliable today and tomorrow at Tower Records for just 299 yen, limited to 1500 copies.

Just checked YouTube and this popped up. Totally caught me by surprise  Such a beautifully shot MV. The most cinematic one they've done so far. I Love the new costumes. The red is so striking. Interesting that they've gone back to the sound of Promise the Stars and Orchestra for this single. It's probably their most accessible type of sound, so I can understand why. I'm happy that they shot overseas. Proof that Avex wants to invest more in them.

This is so exciting! I've been buying the mp3s but this time I might buy the physical CD lol.

I'm definitely going to buy the version with the Photobook even though I don't own a Blu-ray player XD

[telecasterstripes]

Good idea. The first page needs to be updated lol.

[telecasterstripes]

They had a (surprise?) live, "BiSHOSAKADRiFTiNG" at Osaka. It's on a boat on top of the famous Dotonbori. Aina said this was the most contemporary dance she has choreographed and she pulled out all kinds of moves she had stored in. And lol the moment Ayuni finished her part, the crows is like "Wow..."

They're just full of surprises this month, lol.

[telecasterstripes]

Do you think the colors that came up in the PV are their official colors?

Aina ⇒ Red

Ayuni ⇒ White

Chittiii ⇒ Blue

Hashiyasume ⇒ Purple

Ling Ling ⇒ Pink

Momoko ⇒ Yellow

Edited November 5, 2017 by telecasterstripes

[Sasori]

You mean when they used the smoke? Interesting, I didn't think of that. It's possible. They've gone out of their way to keep the girls in very uniform outfits this year so it's not something I was expecting. They're still a fairly new group, so it makes sense to add elements like official colors over time.

 

btw, I'll start updating the OP over the next couple days.

Edited November 5, 2017 by Sasori

[telecasterstripes]

Yeah it's interesting because they're all wearing the same outfits but there are small tweaks like the lengths of their skirts and now they might have their own colors.

 

And thank you for taking over the thread

[Sasori]

I've got a straight forward OP finished for BiSH, but I'm continuing to expand on their history and filling in information for member Bios (need to add some more personal/insightful info about the members). I'm eventually going to have to make something in Photoshop because I'll reach the pic limit when I start adding info for BiS and Empire.

Ling Ling fixed her hair. I didn't like how it looked in My Landscape or the promo photos for the new album. The new coloring and style is much better imo.

Yeah I like Ling Ling's hair much better now. It seems like she likes it too. She said she made an appointment 1 hour before she went but it turned out exactly the way she pictured it. I'm not really liking her (somewhat) recent eyebrows though. It doesn't look bad but I liked her old eyebrow make up better.

[Sasori]

The makeup on her eyebrows is a bit too thick. It would look better if she went lighter. Unless that's what their stylist is going for. Now that I think of it, do they have a makeup artist or do they do it themselves? I never really thought about it with them being all DIY and Punk and whatnot, lol.
