BiSH "NEVERMiND TOUR FiNAL" at ZEPP TOKYO

Formed in March 2015, BiSH is an idol “punk” group comprising Aina • The • End, Cent Chihiro • Chitti, Momoko Gumi Company, Hashiyasume • Atsuko, Lingling and Ayuni • D. They signed with avex on March 2016 and their first major single DEADMAN reached the fifth place on the Oricon weekly charts.

With the NEVERMiND TOUR that ran from January to March this year, the group moved one step closer to their goal of performing at the Budokan. JaME was present during the final show of the tour at ZEPP TOKYO on March 19th.

Many ZEPP halls can be found all over Japan in places such as Sapporo, Nagoya, Namba and Fukuoka. ZEPP TOKYO, a go-to venue for all Japanese music lovers in Japan, is located on the artificial island of Odaiba, with a capacity of more than 2,700. As BiSH’s March 19th show was sold out, it meant the venue was jam-packed.

For this live, BiSH received the reinforcement of the ONI BAND, comprising sound producer Matsukuma Kenta on guitar, Kusunose Takuya on drums and Ohara just begun on bass.

The majority of songs performed during the first part of the show were from BiSH’s first major album KiLLER BiSH. Am I FRENZY?? with its long and good instrumental intro kicked off the show, followed by DEADMAN and OTNK that electrified the atmosphere. As time passed, the idols and crowd became one.

It was now time for HONTOUHONKI, a more recent song. Ayuni • D, who penned its lyrics, sang its long intro. The pace of the live accelerated with the next song before slowing down with DA DANCE!! and its cute choreography. A lull in the set came with quiet, emotional songs like Primitive and My distinction. Fans copied the choreography of the girls, creating a huge sea of arms that moved to the rhythm of the songs.

The live reached a new step with Stairway to me, heralding the calm before the storm. The beginning of this storm arrived with HERO WANNA BE, during which the fans warmed up for the last part of the show. Finally, the show hit its climax with MONSTERS, probably one of the most famous songs of BiSH. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end and the girls started to say goodbye with beautiful sa before finally finishing the main set with ORCHESTRA.

For the encore, BiSH showcased their new single PROMISE THE STAR, released on March 22nd, followed by ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE that had fans singing along to it. A BiSH live cannot be a BiSH live without BiSH- HOSHI GA MATATAKU YORUNI- being performed twice, and that was what the idols did to bring the night to a splendid end.

It was announced during the encore that the final date of BiSH’s next tour BiSH NEVERMiND TOUR RELOADED would take place on July 22nd at Makuhari Messe Event Hall.
