After I heard from tsutomo that Dempagumi participate in Summer Sonic, I checked the site, and found out that BiS is participating as well

and NOW I`m really pissed.

first they add Perfume as an Osaka only attraction and now BiS!!!?!??!??!?! this is not fair.

BiS is so famous now...

and I like how Pour Lui say that the new members selected aren't cute at all in front of them.

she says that it was made on purpose so they (all) would have to make different things to attract attention from people. somehow it makes sense.

just on a side note, nothing that relevant really: finally I saw the new BiS live and I liked. Tenten is undoubtedly the one who shows off more. she is a pro, guys. it was in the Yatsui Festival and I saw Denpa and Up Up Girls, too. and I rofl'd when I saw some guys in 2ch commenting surprised that there was a BiS fan (me) jumping with the Up Up wotas.

Mura Mura PV

Craziest thing I've ever seen from an idol group

The song is pretty fantastic too. Not many (any?) idol groups manage to do Ska right but BiS sure did.

tsutomo · « **Reply #185 on:** June 25, 2013, 05:50:44 AM »

I so fucking love this. I`m biased cuz I`m a long time skacore fan but well... I was totally expecting something like this tune since the guy from Kemuri is involved and they didn`t let me down. and about the video... I rofl`d with the guys erection. kkkkkkkkkkk and WOW Pour Lui is not naked this time!!!

ps: I`m pretty sure that Minegishi liked this.

I wish I could give that video 100 likes. Considering there are literally hundreds of idol groups I wish there was at least one devoted to ska. That would immediately separate them from the pack.

I wrote a review for Mura-Mura. Hope no one minds me linking it here. Just trying to spread the word about BiS as much as I can.

Oh, I wrote a review for DiE too if anyone is interested.

maybe there is one already but we are not aware... there are so many "local idols" spread all over the country, most of the groups with no video on youtube or even an official website...

Ouch, that's going to put a dent in the old wallet.

Anyone want to take a crack at explaining this one?

tsutomo · « **Reply #191 on:** June 30, 2013, 07:31:23 PM »

huh? so they`re working with Hijou Kaidan for a second time? when they still had Waki and Yuffie, I remember they had a concert with the Kaidan guys...

not a big fan of this, though. only pill of noisecore I can (could, to be more exact) manage to take is Anadorei.

Mage77 · « **Reply #192 on:** June 30, 2013, 11:37:12 PM »

I dunno, I kinda dig it. As far as noisecore goes I think this is the most pleasing thing my ears have heard.

Looking forward to seeing what they do with the rest of the tracks. I'll probably pick up the EP too.

I think this latest video is a cover of a song from the 80s by Jun Togawa. It seems kind of fitting for BiS to do a cover of one of her songs since early in her career she claimed to be an idol singer but used to do all kinds of bat sh!t crazy stuff an idol singer wouldn't do... kind of like BiS.

Here's a look at the 80s original version with subtitles in case you want to compare.

Mage77 · « **Reply #194 on:** August 15, 2013, 07:05:41 PM »

Here's the music video for the new song "Fly".

Also, it seems like Mitchel will be leaving the group on September 22nd.

tsutomo · « **Reply #195 on:** August 16, 2013, 03:17:05 AM »

I earlier said (in another thread) that I lost motivation to continue following BiS and that their next one-man (September 1st) would be decisive to find if I should or not continue with this.

now, there`s no more need for it. already found the answer. I could stand UK`s departure... Waki... Yuffie... but now Mitchel?! that`s too much. Pour Lui can go turn this into a creepier fiesta cuz it`s none of my business anymore. it`s not funny as in the past, for me and for the girls, that are leaving one after another. maybe this time it`s not related to her ego, at least.

Mage77 · « **Reply #196 on:** August 16, 2013, 03:24:38 AM »

I think you're being a bit dramatic but I'm sorry to hear that you won't be following BiS anymore.

tsutomo · « **Reply #197 on:** August 16, 2013, 03:46:26 AM »

the problem is that the group is not as it once was.

the fanbase is different. (worse)
the members are different. (worse too. ok, this can be very subjective and personal, but although Tenten is such a fascinating girl, I think that the members gone brought more to the table)
the music is different. (the only point I think that hadn`t decrease. they continue making very good songs, imo. but I`m biased to begin with, since I`ve been a pop-punk fan for longer than an idol fan)
and last but not the least, their "essence" (or should I call purpose) is different. the group was created to be a provocative idol group that pushes further than others ("others" aka Passpo, as once Pour Lui said in an interview that was one of her inspirations). now I just can`t see an idol group anymore, to begin with. they turned into a borderline idol act (like hy4_4yh), that uses some idol antics but is not part of the sub-culture. (I think this part of my post will turn very tricky... maybe it`s understandable. trying to make this concept a little more visible, just look at how they nowadays make more shows along rock groups than idol stunts)

Think that BiS has a lot of purpose and that the remaining members plus any new members
will be able to handle the future quite well.

SomethingWild · « **Reply #199 on:** August 24, 2013, 03:37:41 PM »

I haven't followed them closely enough to know their members, but I wanna give them props for doing something different.

I thought DiE and Mura were both excellent songs. The noise core one is a tad too extreme for me, but it's been a while since I heard something like it.

So yeah, sucks to hear the line-up's been undergoing so many changes.
