MATiLDER's interview with ototoy

• she discovered WACK after watching BiSH's videos (just like everyone else), also a fan of EMPiRE and GANG PARADE
• favorite BiSH's song is "Spark"
• favorite BiSH's member is Momoko
• during the audition she was paired with 4/5 other people (but not WONKER) it rained so her makeup got ruined, Watanabe gave her an umbrella
• Watanabe didn't knew they were twins, it wasn't until WONKER's turn that he noticed
• while the audition was to pick members for BiS and ASP she wanted to join the later, WONKER also wanted to join ASP
• MATiLDER and WONKER can use telepathy with each other but at a max distance of 1 meter
• MATiLDER thinks that Watanabe is both scary and interesting
• she thinks that WONKER it's an interesting person, they both have the hobby of watching movies
• MATiLDER thinks that the difference between the two is in the eyes
• MATiLDER thinks both are similar in the way they pick trash barehanded and eat food that has fallen to the floor (!?)
• during the recording of "PLACEBO" she was told that she always looks like if she is about to cry

nice interview, i'm looking forward to WONKER's one, i wonder if she also believes in their "telepathy" (or if she verifies that she eats food from the floor)

btw the main difference is the shade of brown of their hair, MATiLDER is the one on the left and WONKER the one on the right

MAMESHiBA decided to prank Kuro chan by making him believe that Miyuki is going to quit the group






there is going to be a part 2, they put a lot of effort into the prank

i actually felt bad for Kuro chan, seems he legitimately cares iirc he gets along pretty well with Miyuku

 

[Stan BiSH]

there are rumors that BiSH are going to announce their disbanding on the 24th




the rumors started appearing around Dec 16th, there is more information by looking for "bish 解散" on twitter

apparently this is supported by the surprise announcement that BiSH are holding an "emergency" live tomorrow "THIS is FOR BiSH"

thankfully we don't have to wait to much to find out, it's almost the 24th in Japan, the stream starts in 5 hours after this post

here is the link:






is unknown what the stream it's going to be about but it's also going to be broadcasted on TV

btw Watanabe denied the rumors, unfortunately his word it's worth nothing so...

i also want to point out how exactly a year ago there were rumors of how Atsuko was going to quit BiSH and that she was going to be replaced by Yumeka,
to be honest i can't think of a single reason why they would disband, 2022 is shaping to be their best year, worst case scenario i could picture a member graduating or maybe even a hiatus, there also the fact that it could be something positive, like a budokan / Tokyo dome concert, a world tour, etc

 

[Stan BiSH]

speaking of Kohaku, it was revealed which song BiSH are going to perform

"promise the star"




would be cool if they played two songs but seems it's only one this time, while i would had preferred "Orchestra" this isn't a bad choice, it's one of their most popular songs and also their most watched MV

 

[Stan BiSH]

it started already

fuck, they are playing "hoshi ga matataku" non stop that's makes me nervous, one of their most legendary performances was when they played that song 10+ in a row during a concert

edit: they played hoshi 3 times, now they are playing "spark"

monster
is this call

 

[Stan BiSH]

BiSH are going to disband on 2023, they promised to make 2022 their best year

they are going to hold 12 months of continuous releases
nationwide tour
arena / hall concerts
BiSH's festivals






now i'm going to be sad for the rest of 2021

sucks to think how all things i love are eventually going to come to an end,

we still have another year with them, i'm always going to like BiSH so i want to be optimistic, the priority should be to make next year their best one yet

I seriously am in shock. I somehow never expected this and I am confused as to why exactly are they disbanding?

seems they decided to disband back in 2019, they believe that it would be cool if they disbanded when they are at their "peak"

they uploaded a video today confirming that the disbanding of BiSH was a mutual decision by all members





there are lots of rumors going around, i read that apparently their contracts were up for renewal but some of them didn't wanted to stay in BiSH,
of course those are just rumors, we probably are not going to get the full picture of what happened until they actually disband

news about their disbanding were TT on twitter, we still have a full year before it actually happens but i'm happy people cares

I somehow keep hoping that it would be a prank or something of that sort. I kinda feel that it probably isn't though.

that would be so... still better than reality


i mean it's a little early to be thinking about it but i wonder which members are going to stay in WACK? i think Aina and Ayuni D are "safe", they already have solo careers that shouldn't be affected by the disbanding

Chittiii... would be nice if she gets a solo album too, i feel they are going to lost her if they don't give her some releases

Atsuko has been asking for another solo for YEARS, since 2019 until a few months her twitter bio was that she wanted another solo song, they need to pay attention to her specially since Atsuko already is on TV and has interest on acting (something that WACK has no experience on)

Lingling is not interested in making music outside BiSH, her real passion seems to be fashion and painting

Momoko despite writing lyrics for so many songs doesn't seem to be interested in producing music outside BiSH, what she loves right now is writing essays and novels



i have so many thoughts on the situation but i want to wait a little more to put them in order,
right now i'm thinking that Kohaku is next week, dozens of millions of people are going to watch BiSH live on their TVs, such an amazing milestone,
the beginning of the end is after that, 12 months of releases starting in January, by this time next year BiSH is likely to not exist anymore

MAMESHiBA's FULLSWING DE DOMINO EFFECT​

they are building a massive domino, the live stream is on break right now so they are playing some MVs at the moment, it's going to last almost 10 hours

PARADISES「PARADISES RETURN」​

 

[Stan BiSH]

i didn't watch the MAMESHiBA stream, i checked some minutes but they were on break and were just playing MVs in the background, i managed to catch a part when they were being attacked by a roomba and i decided to not watch more because it was too sad, apparently it lasted 12 hours so half a day building a domino

at least they sold lots of albums


anyway,

BiSH released another video about their disbanding, here everyone is happy in their own bubble minding their business





yesterday i posted this talking about what they probably were going to do after BiSH

i think Aina and Ayuni D are "safe", they already have solo careers that shouldn't be affected by the disbanding

Chittiii... would be nice if she gets a solo album too, i feel they are going to lost her if they don't give her some releases

Atsuko has been asking for another solo for YEARS, since 2019 until a few months her twitter bio was that she wanted another solo song, they need to pay attention to her specially since Atsuko already is on TV and has interest on acting (something that WACK has no experience on)

Lingling is not interested in making music outside BiSH, her real passion seems to be fashion and painting

Momoko despite writing lyrics for so many songs doesn't seem to be interested in producing music outside BiSH, what she loves right now is writing essays and novels

in the video they posted

Aina and Ayuni are playing music
Momoko is writing
Atsuko is acting
Lingling is trying clothes

i guess i got wrong Chittiii, i forgot that she was on Spice travellers


Kenta posted a video talking about BiSH disbading, Kenta basically composed their whole discography so is nice hearing his opinion




they are many reactions from people inside and outside WACK, i want to highlight this one from Muropanako

Ayuni D, i love you

 

[Stan BiSH]

EMPiRE's photobook "ViBES" is available for reservations, they unveiled the cover

not only is a photobook but it's going to include interviews with all members, new information about EMPiRE, Q&As and more

reserve bonuses

EMPiRE were together on Christmas




some other stuff

 

[Stan BiSH]

EMPiRE - Happy with you [EMPiRE’S SUPER ULTRA SPECTACULAR SHOW]​

Ayuni D / PEDRO - Sasurahi​

MAMESHiBA NO TAiGUN - LOVE CHiKYU feat Pour Lui​

 

[Stan BiSH]

Watanabe rigged the election, the night prior to the deadline he brought 10,000 singles and secretly gave the votes to a member




here are the winners of "VOTE! WACK SELECT 7"

#1 Yui ga Dockson - GO TO THE BEDS (she received the 10,000 votes from Watanabe)
#2 Usagi Tsukino - PARADISES
#3 Terashima Yuka - PARADISES
#4 Hashiyasume Atsuko - BiSH
#5 Yamamishi Miki - GO TO THE BEDS
#6 Yumeno Yua - GO TO THE BEDS
#7 Cent Chihiro Chittiii - BiSH

full list

they are going to debut in a new group produced and managed by Yuki Kashiwagi, Yuki is also going to become a member of the unit

it was announced that a 2nd unit for now called "WACK's Kuso / shitty unit" is also going to be created, is composed of members that failed to make it to the top 20, they are going to perform the B side song in the WACK7's debut single



#22 Lingling - BiSH
#25 YU-Ki EMPiRE - EMPiRE
#33 Namaenai - ASP
kinda insulting to be called shitty but i think it's actually a nice reward

 

[Stan BiSH]

there are so many updates

some messages from the groups

 

[Stan BiSH]

part 2, they tricked Kuro chan into believing that Miyuki was going to graduate from MAMESHiBA





there is going to be a part 3


the aftermath of that domino




they spent 17 hours building that!

 

[Sasori]

I didn't check in on Christmas, so I wanted to say Happy New Year! Stan BiSH, thanks for all your hard work keeping the thread updated

I see that Gang Parade is a group again. I guess BiSH's disbandment announcement must have changed things. I prefer GP as one big group rather than split into two, so this is fine with me.

happy (late) Christmas and new year to you too!

I see that Gang Parade is a group again. I guess BiSH's disbandment announcement must have changed things.

they are back!

i also feel this is related to BiSH's disbanding, while they didn't enjoyed the same clout as BiS, EMPiRE or MAMESHIBA they actually had the 2nd largest fandom within the company, i double checked and they have several releases that sold more than 100k they are the only group other than BiSH to accomplish that (ignoring BiS's "are you ready?")

while PARADISES and GO TO THE BEDS were picking the pace during 2021 (both of their latest releases sold around 15k first week) they still felt short of GP's numbers,

i want point out how the winners of the WACK7 vote were basically GANG PARADE plus 2 BiSH members, is clear this was the right decision,
i feel this is one of the few times in recent years that such a big announcement has been so universally well received

I prefer GP as one big group rather than split into two, so this is fine with me.

i like both PARADISES and GO TO THE BEDS so i should be sad... yet i'm really happy with the news!

i think that's the general feeling of the fandom right now, GANG PARADE are stronger together

-

going off topic but i want to add something about BiSH's disbanding

is there going to be a BiSH2? is there going to be a spiritual successor like they were to BiS?

i was thinking about one of MAMESHiBA's latest releases "kinou wa modoranai"




is a very BiSH-like song, Watanabe's original plan for the group was for them to have this concept

that's is what that competition between Daijoubu Sunrise and Rocket Start was all about, Watanabe wanted MAMESHiBA to go on a more serious route while Kuro chan wanted the group to continue with the colorful concepts




Rocket Start won and we all know what happened later but i wonder if Watanabe is going to want to revisit the idea again

2022 is going to be an interesting year, with BiSH saying goodbye it seems that all groups at WACK are going to be aiming for the title of queens of the company, there are strong arguments for EMPiRE and MAMESHiBA being #2 right now but i think that is not set in stone yet

 

[Stan BiSH]

some new year messages from the members of WAgg







i hate how they keep being forgotten by the management

when BiS, MAMESHiBA and ASP held auditions they didn't allowed applications from members from WAgg
i don't get what's the purpose of the group, they are supposed to be the trainees of the company yet they don't have a path upwards is a huge waste of talent

also i forgot about it but Ainastar is back, she was on hiatus for a while ago
