I discovered BiSH when I went to Japan for the Babymetal Tokyo Dome concert in 2016. I was invited to go to a alt-idol festival where a bunch of upcoming idol's would perform. Most were run off the mill cutesy idol music, but then BiSH came on and I was blown away. And their fans are just as intense as Babymetal fans, if not more. I was hooked. They do play with a live band occasionally, usually their final tour show or arena shows. Their music is punk but they have their tender moments too. They've even played live with an orchestra. Check out the songs Orchestra and My Landscape. 2 beautiful orchestra driven songs. The difference between this idol group and others like You'll Melt More and others, is that they have 3/4 amazing singers. Aina the End's husky voice is the best of them all. Other alt-idol recommendations: Necronomidol, Guso Drop (dissolved and reunited into a new group), Burst Girl (... the new group name), Broken by the Scream, Passcode, Yanakoto Sotto Mute, There There There's, Melon Batakke a GoGo, just to name a few. Great reaction.
Thank you! That's really great to hear that these girls will rock your world live! We've got another reaction to them coming up soon. Also thank you for your suggestions. I shall get them down and add them to my list.
I started watching your channel for the Band-Maid reactions but it's been great watching you slowly slide down the alternative and underground idol rabbit hole. I grew up on punk, metal and industrial bands and never in a million years thought I would love any group without a musician in the lineup, but now I fly to Japan once a year to see dozens of hardcore idol units. Some of the most exciting music in the world right now is coming out of Japan's alternative rock and idol scenes. Here's a few more to check out: NECRONOMIDOL (Darkwave & Black Metal): “TUPILAQ” or “ITHAQUA” or “STRANGE AEONS” Minna no Kodomochan (Digital Hardcore + Doom Metal): “I Wish I'd Be Dead When I Wake Up” or “The Walls” NECROMA and Kodomochan also subtitle their MVs in English which is nice. Yukueshirezutsurezure aka Not Secured, Loose Ends (Postpunk, digital hardcore & Metal Core): “Wish/” or "Paradise Lost" BURST GIRL (straight-up punk): “GREAT FXXKING MY WORLD” KAQRIYOTERROR (EDM and Metalcore): “lilithpride” Yankoto Sotto Mute (Postpunk & Grunge): “Stain” or “レイライン” (Layline) 14th Generation Toilet Hanako-San (Grindcore): “akatsuki” (I think my original comment may have been blocked because I included links so I redid it. Anyway, enjoy!)
Hey thank you so much! Yeah we are starting to dive into some more diverse stuff Haha. All these request sound super interesting for sure. I'll be adding them to our list. Yeah don't post links we can't see those for some reason. Title and band name work perfectly.
Solid recommendations there. I second the suggestions of BURST GIRL, NECRONOMIDOL, and Minna no Kodomo-chan. The latter's debut was my personal favourite album of 2018, beating Band-Maid's excellent World Domination into second place. Japan's music scene is indeed bursting with creativity, talent, excitement and fun.
Hands down my absolute favourite band/group/musicians in the entire world. Somewhat obsessive over BiSH. They're part of the Japanese Alt-Idol scene, they were a successor somewhat of a band called BiS, with both bands being from the label WACK, who have, I think, a total of 5 bands signed atm. You should've done the music video for this as its amazing, all of their videos are. I can listen to them for heavy, punky, pop, Jpop, emotion, the works. Their catalogue covers almost every type of music I can imagine, and you should definitely check out more. Giant Killers Stereo Future Smack Baby Smack Non Tie Up Distance Hontou Honki 遂に死 All great songs/great videos, without getting into the more pop music/emotional songs. I love you guys for reaction to the more niche/unknown world of alt-idol bands, nowhere else online is offering me this sort of content, thanks!
Thank you so much! We definitely plan to do more reactions to this group for sure. I'll jot down your suggestions and we will get to those as soon as we can.
WACK currently have: BiS (or at least a training unit), BiSH, EMPiRE, GANG PARADE (currently split into PARADiSES and GO TO THE BEDS), CARRY LOOSE, MAMESHiBA NO TAiGUN and WAgg. There have been a few collaborations with other artists and solo releases, notably AYUNi D's band PEDRO. Add in two shuffle units SAiNT SEX and HOLY SHiTS, plus BEAT MINTS BOYS. I'm assuming BULLY IDOL are finished as BILLY IDLE, the group they parody, seems to have ended. I count that as eight currently active but its really hard to keep up.
@@FourBleats Oh yeah I actually forgot about Carry Loose, which I'm surprised by because Pan Luna is one of my favourite WACK Idols. I wouldn't really count Saint Sex or Holy Shits as they're just supergroups almost, made from already signed members, though I didn't realise it was quite so many groups at this point haha. I wouldn't count Chitiii or Aina's solo tracks as they're just members of BiSH, but Pedro definitely counts to me as it's Ayuni plus new talent in the band with her. Great label, as much as Watanabe annoys me sometimes, and some really great talent too.
Idol groups doing music that you wouldn't expect from idol groups (and acting in ways you wouldn't expect idols to act) is the essence of the alternative idol scene. BiSH is the biggest group in that scene. Their latest mini-album LETTERS is Number 1 in the Japanese (Oricon) album chart right now. They can sell out arena-sized venues. They're also rarely off Japanese TV: adverts, chat shows, music programmes, documentaries where they sail aboard fishing trawlers, etc. Their success is due to many factors, but what made them stand out when I first heard them was their badass, take-no-prisoners attitude and the fact that the members have distinctive personalities and voices (Aina sounds husky, Chittiii sweet, Ayuni has a nasal John Lydon-esque sneer, Momoko is low, Atsuko sounds like woodwind, LingLing is high and head-voice-y and can scream like a banshee) so you always know who's singing even if you can't see them. They have more interesting songs than this one, in my view, so I'll throw some recommendations in your general direction: SMACK baby SMACK (official video) - the best introduction to BiSH in my opinion. GiANT KiLLERS (live, BRiNG iCiNG SHiT HORSE, etc.) - arena show with pyrotechnics and circle pits. Am I FRENZY?? (live, NEVERMiND tour final) - in which LingLing, on her birthday, hits notes previously unknown to music theory. NON TIE-UP (official video) - a cinematic science fiction prog-pop spectacle.
These ladies are absolutely killing it! Always such a treat to see an artist or group having a lot of success. Thanks for the suggestions Giant Killer reaction has already been filmed and we are releasing it sometime this week.
Bish is one of the most popular alternative idols groups, so don't be shocked if they have a good fanbase. Also Aina the End is SUUUCHHH a good vocalist!
OK, not much for a musician to dissect in MONSTERS - it's a simple high-octane punk track. I think you got the take away though - melody, energy, catchy, odd that they do this kind of performance with a rock backing but without a band. I assume the lack of a live band is a cost thing but like BABYMETAL they are moving towards shows with a live backing band. If you do more live stuff, try versions from the BRiNG iCiNG SHiT HORSE TOUR FiNAL "THE NUDE" (yes, really) which was in a large hall with a backing band, string section, pyro, light show, etc. The video for MONSTERS is pretty good, assuming you like fireballs, smoke grenades, fake blood and faux violence, all with a comedy twist at the end. As others have noted, they tend to make very good videos that actually enhance the music. If you're up for a double header, I'd recommend the MV for GiANT KiLLERS (it has dialogue that can get in the way of the music) followed by the live version of the same track from "THE NUDE". Musically they tend to be a little more pop oriented but do have several tracks similar to MONSTERS plus a few that head off into the realm of noise. The live versions of FREEZE DRY THE PASTS (And yet BiSH moves tour) and AM I FRENZY?? (NEVERMiND TOUR FiNAL) are both pretty intense and also have live backing. Don't be fooled by the cutesy singing an dancing - the lyrics can get quite dark and they can even be rude/crude from time to time - this is another part of the alt/anti idol thing. The crowd aren't really singing along as such, more like chanting in a similar way to a sports crowd.
BiSH is a part of a new idol trend in Japan called "alternative idols". The trend did start with Babymetal and Ladybaby a few years ago and today there are a ton of them like Passcode, BiS, Broken by the scream and many others.
@@dicodec yes, and the goal was to capture both the hearts of pop fans and rock / metal fans at the same time. A concept no one has dared to think of but possible in Japan as japanese people love Rock / Metal and cute pop 😇
I recommend checking out the music video for this one it opens with all of them passed out in the back of a truck covered in dirt and goes from there...
I think watching the music videos for these alt-idol groups is better because they give a better explanation of what the song is about. They are more like performance art. That was the case with BiS and Necronomidol. The videos by BiS for Idol is Dead,, My Ixxx and Stupig are good examples. Oh, and don't mention Mura Mura!
I couldn't agree more. There's something about the videos WACK and BiSH make that enhances the music for me. I'd prefer if all BiSH reactions were to their music videos, they definitely have enough to keep them going for a while aha.
the concept of BISH is "Punk Band without instrumentals". BISH have many good songs. "stereo future", "orchestra" ,"promise the star", , "hosi ga matataku yoru ni (at night when stars are shining)" , "distance",,,,,,,,and more and more. the official video of "hosi ga matataku yoru ni" is very shocking. please check them out!
People should look at the Official video of Monsters, involving much crazy death and destruction, or the extra creepy video for Giant Killers which references Taxi Driver. Very bizarre videos also for fellow WACK bands Empire, Band Parade
Kiefa Morgan Yes..I thought that I was going on a bit much- Ayundi D is trying something a little different, though the blow up inflatable dancing man cow freaks me out. Apart from the big groups like Band Maid and Babymetal, I really love Necry Talkie and their singer Mossa. I saw their 70 minute livestream today and it was remarkable
@@keithsowerby8179 Ooh I've never heard of them, thanks! I'll be checking them out right now. There's a tonne of bands I could list that I love, like PassCode, BABYMETAL, BBTS, Candye Syrup, BiS/Empire/Gang Parade etc but none of them come close to BiSH for me for some reason. It seems Watanabe feels the same considering BiSH seem to be the only group he doesn't mess around and swap members in and out of aha.
Would like to see you guys watch the official music video for Giant Killers by BiSH. To me that video is like if Quentin Tarantino did a music video for an idol group and not enough people have reacted to it.
One of the girls in this group has a side project called Pedro where she plays bass and sings. It’s a pretty dope punk band. I think almost all the girls in Bish can play instruments.
Dicodec They have in one of their music videos, I don’t know if bish have done that live. In You’ll Melt More, Ano (the one that screams and dives into the crowd has played guitar when You’ll Melt More will use a band for live shows and Younapi has done a lot of DJ work and Keyboards and have done some of it on stage with YMM too. There’s been a decent amount of women that will leave an idol group to start bands or have solo careers.
Ah I see. We gotta check out those music videos. I'm curious to hear the studio versions. There is a lot more to You'll Melt More than we originally thought as well.
Dicodec There really is. But that’s with a lot of these Japanese alt idol groups. Off topic. If there’s a singer that I want you to react to but doesn’t make mv or films her concerts, would you guys react to a Spotify track?
BiS/BiSH has undergone a few line up changes and they are on Band-Maid's record label Revolver along with Soulfly which is Max C. and what was left of Sepultura. In performance BiS is more like Babymetal in that some young ladies front some excellent musicians usually with full orchestration. It ain't rock but l like much of it. Check My Landscape.
BiS are on Revolver but should not be confused with BiSH who are on Avex Trax. BiS has undergone complete line-up changes several times since first forming in 2010, and has no original members remaining. In contrast, BiSH was formed in 2015 and has had remarkably few line-up changes. The current line-up has been stable since mid-2016. Four years is an aeon in idol terms.
@@dicodec You cannot write a book here and l knew someone would say this. So let me set this straight. Junnosuke who managed BiS, which stands for Brand new Idol Shit, reformed the group in 2015 as a successor to BiS with none of the original members and named the new effort BiSH. The management or message of BiS/BiSH has not changed. Here the imperfect and flawed is celebrated even as far as the vocals. They could sing better but they don't on purpose. This idea which is a stable of Japanese culture is dismissed by westerners as being less than perfect whereas the very idea of BiSH is that what is not perfect is something that should be celebrated. Deep enough for you? And l still say check out My Landscape. I like the woman in the thick eyeglasses. Regards.
That's really cool and respectable that they're going against the norms of traditional idol groups. The vocals I thought sounded good. We are definitely going to react to more BiSH for sure. Thanks for taking the time to type out this break down. I too was fond of the one with thick glasses 🙂.
I respectfully disagree with much of what Robert has written here, but we are all in agreement that Hashiyasume Atsuko (the young woman with the glasses) is awesome, and that's the most important thing. Peace.
Absolutely agree, we've been getting a ton of request for a lot more groups like this which we will definitely be checking out. That's awesome so their form of rebellion is being a kick butt rock band!
@@dicodec Could not agree more. From the movie "The Wild Ones with Marlon Brando: "What are you rebelling against, Johnny? "I don't know. What have you got?"
hey guys can you check out AVAMARIA BY BABYMETAL ITS AN INTRO TO THE SONG HEAD BANGERRRBUT THE SONG IS WAY DIFFERENT AWESOME IT WILL GET YOU GROOVING CHOW GUYS OH! ALSO CAN YOU DO SONG 4 BY THEM AS WELL
Official music videos works better for BiSH. _(They are very good!)_ Two of the links I gave you earlier: · BiSH - Non TiE-UP: watch?v=fZ_wJe50YzQ _(Note: At times the sound has a little too much distortion.)_ · BiSH - At night when the stars blink: watch?v=8y-dHKkp2zU _(With english subtitles. Note: What we see in the video are not bodily fluids...)_
Alright, we will check those out for sure. This live in particular was reccomended to us so we went with it. We can do the music videos in our next ones for sure.
@@dicodec well it's a band my friend recommended me some time ago and they have kinda unique style, they blend metal (groove, death, screamo) with electronic music. I know when you hear metal/electronic blend you may think of Scooter but Enter Shikari is something different. If you wanna check it out i would recommend starting with track Anything can happen in the next half hour, it's not as crazy as their other tracks but gives overall idea of what they do.
Good shout! They're a British band and I thought they were pretty famous but perhaps they're not so well known in the US. Years ago Babymetal's producer Kobametal listed Enter Shikari's 2012 album A Flash Flood of Colour as an influence. I would be surprised if there wasn't a bit of Enter Shikari's musical DNA in the sound of PassCode too. Definitely worth checking out if you have the time and inclination.
I'm kinda deaf, so maybe that explains why I can't hear much of the backing track. Not terribly impressed with the quality of the vocals either, but I'm kinda spoiled by bands that sound just as good live as they do in studio. Blame Sabaton and Band Maid.
I discovered BiSH when I went to Japan for the Babymetal Tokyo Dome concert in 2016. I was invited to go to a alt-idol festival where a bunch of upcoming idol's would perform.

OK, not much for a musician to dissect in MONSTERS - it's a simple high-octane punk track.

The management or message of BiS/BiSH has not changed. Here the imperfect and flawed is celebrated even as far as the vocals. They could sing better but they don't on purpose. This idea which is a stable of Japanese culture is dismissed by westerners as being less than perfect whereas the very idea of BiSH is that what is not perfect is something that should be celebrated. Deep enough for you? And l still say check out My Landscape. I like the woman in the thick eyeglasses. Regards.
That's really cool and respectable that they're going against the norms of traditional idol groups. The vocals I thought sounded good. We are definitely going to react to more BiSH for sure. Thanks for taking the time to type out this break down. I too was fond of the one with thick glasses 🙂.
I respectfully disagree with much of what Robert has written here, but we are all in agreement that Hashiyasume Atsuko (the young woman with the glasses) is awesome, and that's the most important thing. Peace.
I wainting for another reaction of PassCode
Very soon friend!
BiSH！嬉しい😆
NON TiE-UPも見て欲しいです！
We will do it.
Anything that is anti idol is worth checking out. And FYI Band-Maid is completely anti idol as well. It gives one hope, doesn't it?
Absolutely agree, we've been getting a ton of request for a lot more groups like this which we will definitely be checking out. That's awesome so their form of rebellion is being a kick butt rock band!
@@dicodec Could not agree more. From the movie "The Wild Ones with Marlon Brando: "What are you rebelling against, Johnny? "I don't know. What have you got?"
hey guys can you check out AVAMARIA BY BABYMETAL ITS AN INTRO TO THE SONG HEAD BANGERRRBUT THE SONG IS WAY DIFFERENT AWESOME IT WILL GET YOU GROOVING CHOW GUYS OH! ALSO CAN YOU DO SONG 4 BY THEM AS WELL
For sure! We can check it out.
GiANT KiLLERS please!!!
We are on it!
Official music videos works better for BiSH. _(They are very good!)_
Two of the links I gave you earlier:
· BiSH - Non TiE-UP: watch?v=fZ_wJe50YzQ _(Note: At times the sound has a little too much distortion.)_
· BiSH - At night when the stars blink: watch?v=8y-dHKkp2zU _(With english subtitles. Note: What we see in the video are not bodily fluids...)_
Alright, we will check those out for sure. This live in particular was reccomended to us so we went with it. We can do the music videos in our next ones for sure.
One quick question guys, have you ever heard of the band Enter Shikari?
We haven't. Are they someone we should react to?
@@dicodec well it's a band my friend recommended me some time ago and they have kinda unique style, they blend metal (groove, death, screamo) with electronic music. I know when you hear metal/electronic blend you may think of Scooter but Enter Shikari is something different. If you wanna check it out i would recommend starting with track Anything can happen in the next half hour, it's not as crazy as their other tracks but gives overall idea of what they do.
Thats a pretty strange mix of genres haha. For sure though we can give it a listen for sure.
Good shout! They're a British band and I thought they were pretty famous but perhaps they're not so well known in the US. Years ago Babymetal's producer Kobametal listed Enter Shikari's 2012 album A Flash Flood of Colour as an influence. I would be surprised if there wasn't a bit of Enter Shikari's musical DNA in the sound of PassCode too. Definitely worth checking out if you have the time and inclination.
Monsters, you should have asked them to react to the official music video first.
yep , that new member is quite violent but can sing all of their lines very well 🤣
Nice reaction !! If you like this song you need react or listen OTNK 🤘🏻
Thank you! Is that from BiSH as well?
@@dicodec Yes it's a BiSH song released four years ago ;)
Try Giant killers live
From BiSH?
@@dicodec Its a BiSH song
Or try Paint it black
By The Rolling Stones?
@@dicodec This is aalso a bish song
Bish will disband in 2023☹️☹️☹️💔
That is terrible news 😭
@@dicodec the announcement really hit me hard ☹️☹️
I'm kinda deaf, so maybe that explains why I can't hear much of the backing track. Not terribly impressed with the quality of the vocals either, but I'm kinda spoiled by bands that sound just as good live as they do in studio. Blame Sabaton and Band Maid.
Yeah the backing tracks were alittle low on this one.
It's time to react to the new LOVEBITES song that came out 2 days ago.
LOVEBITES - Thunder Vengeance (LIVE) : watch?v=yWE7PqCpGi4
Maybe in out next filming session.🤔 I'll see what's up.
@@dicodec Prepare to be flabbergasted !
