about the spotify numbers, usually December is a slow month for streams, to give an example BiSH's and EMPiRE's peak listeners during 2021 were around 500k and 250k listeners respectively

only MAMESHiBA when down, there are reasons as to why but... eh too complex to explain here, ASP and Aomushi are new so there is nothing to compare them with yet but ASP's numbers are around CARRY LOOSE

about Youtube,

BiSH added 280 millions view since the last update! i think some of those numbers are because the finally "added" back some of their previous MVs to the channel, even without them they probably added 100+ million views during 2021

MAMESHiBA were the most viewed channel until last year, really impressive, although they only added 6k subscribers they actually lost thousands of subscribers during early 2021 (people that followed them during Restart) but got them back and more during the 2nd half

AINA and PEDRO both tied at 127k, safe to say that wasn't a coincidence but instead those are the BiSH's fans that follow their solos

EMPiRE got about as many views as AINA and PEDRO but something worth mention is that several of their most watched MVs are not counted in the total of the channel since they were instead uploaded to the Avex channel, the problem with that is that people watch their MVs in the Avex channel and they subscribe to that one instead of their channel

GO TO THE BEDS, PARADISES numbers are kinda low, specially since they share a channel together

BiS is around where you would expecte them to be, no generation has been particularly popular in Youtube

Aomushi and ASP are new so there is nothing to compare them with yet

probably everyone already knows at this point but

GANG PARADE ARE BACK!

definitely can't say i was expecting this (not even the members knew)

again, the members had no idea about it, you can watch their reactions to the news here




it all started on Dec 31 when the GP account posted this tweet



it was announced on the "Yomiuri Shimbun" the newspaper with the largest circulation in Japan, the members were given 48 hours to prepare for the comeback





storywriter posted an excellent article covering the event




they plan to release a new single "PARADE GOES ON"

they promised that 2022 is going to be a year of miracles, right now their goal is to perform at the budokan

something great about it is that fancams are back, GP was the only WACK that allowed the recording of their concerts, there are dozens of videos from the event, i'm still looking for the best version but i think this one is pretty decent

WONKER's interview with ototoy

• Discovered BiSH at the same time as MATiLDER
• Watched BiS's "nerve" and became both scared and obsessed with the thought of crowd surfing
• Fell in love with BiSH after hearing how they thought that doing embarrassing stuff was cool
• Her favorite BiSH's song is "Orchestra" and her favorite member is Chittiii
• Her reason to join WACK was that it either was that or becoming a full time NEET
• Before joining ASP WONKER was previously a NEET (along MATiLDER)
• Watanabe didn't know she have a twin, it wasn't until her interview that he noticed
• Before the audition she wanted to join ASP instead of BiS, her reason being the nostalgic 90's feeling of ASP's music
• She confirms the telepathy between the two, without talking she is able to tell how MALTiDER is feeling or what is she thinking
• She thinks that MATiLDER is a great person, she cites how she gave her expired bread and wakes her up in the morning as examples
• She thinks the difference between the two is the hair color, a mole and one of them is left handed (not sure about the last one)
• She thinks they are similar in everything, she is confused about people that tells them their personalities are different since according her they are exactly the same
• She thinks that having a twin is like looking into a mirror to a parallel universe

the interview was posted last week but i didn't noticed until yesterday that it was WONKER's, i thought it was the one from MATiLDER that i already posted (since they literally look the same)

the twins are cool but the fact that WONKER's favorite BiSH song is Orchestra makes her favorite of the two

ASP - M [OFFiCiAL ViDEO]​

they say they don't know how long the MV is going to stay up in their Youtube channel

 

[Stan BiSH]

BiSH's performance at Kohaku








i was checking reactions outside the fandom and... some are good and some are bad, most complaints were about some audio problems during the performance, others were mad that they didn't "fit" the image of Kohaku, etc, on the other side people says that it was fresh and different, so yeah

personally it was exactly what i was expecting, it was a performance directed at fans

the Yuki Kashiwagi X WACK exhibition full concert, it starts at 2 hours 30 minutes

i tihnk BiS had the best performance! also i wonder how many Yuki Kashiwagi fans were there, it was supposed to be her event yet during the BiSH's performance 2/3 of the public knew the choreography

 

[Stan BiSH]

so it seems their tour is going to be Japan only, because of the name some people were expecting overseas dates too



opening of their disbanding party

EMPiRE for fineboys

GANG PARADE's new profile pictures

ASP's interview with Natalie.mu

i love their uniforms, victorian era punk-maids is such an interesting concept especially since people of that era would faint if they knew what these girls are up to

also their 2nd album "PLACEBO" is out since yesterday!

 

[Stan BiSH]

they are going to release "BiS BOOK -What is BiS?-" a biographic book covering 10 years and 3 generations of BiS's history

• To include group and member interviews by all the 3 generations of BiS
• To include new Interviews with members of the current generation of BiS
• A compilation of pictures related to BiS
• Interviews with Junosuke Watanabe, Kenta Matsukuma and Sotobayashi Kenta
• Testimonies and interviews with 3rd parties close to the group along reviews and articles covering releases by BiS

most of the old interviews are previously published articles by Ototoy and Storywriter, they have been covering "BiS" since before the 1st gen even debuted,
i think that people who has been following those sites already read many of them, still sounds pretty interesting, especially for people only familiar with the current gen

i think the part that interest me the most are the testimonies and interviews with 3rd parties, would be nice getting new interviews with ex members of previous generations specially with BiS2 although that seems unlikely since most of them weren't on the best of terms with WACK at the time they left...

 

[Stan BiSH]

BiS announced their new single "DA DA DA DANCE SONG"

• First BiS release with "NANO3"

• Tomaranai Uta (とまらない歌; Unstoppable Song)
• DA DA DA DANCE SONG (Instrumental)

[Stan BiSH]

Momoko started an Instagram

that's some great news, it means that even with BiSH disbanding she plans to continue sharing things with fans



she met the ASP twins

 

[Stan BiSH]

new campaign with TOWER RECORDS "We continue WACK no matter what"

some observations

• EMPIRE looks like if they came straight out a magazine photoshoot
• GANG PARADE are in their PARADISES and GO TO THE BEDS uniforms
• WAgg were allowed out of the dungeon

 

[Stan BiSH]

chang Baby has been going around challenging members of WACK to a drinking competition


against Yumeka



against Yua



against Coco



against Usagi



against Chittiii




against Watanabe



spoilers

someone pukes and no, it wasn't Watanabe

Watanabe is a person that shows drunk to work, is still too early for chang baby to challenge someone like that

against Midoriko

[Stan BiSH]

TBS news was doing a report and some fans that were watching the show noticed a familiar face




according to MiKiNA's it was one of her dreams to be feature in TV by her own! (this technically counts, right?)

i believe she was on her way to record "FREE ALL EMPIRE"

 

[Stan BiSH]

Atsuko appears as a guest character in the TBS's drama "FIGHT SONG", she is going to play the role of a "flashy musician"

she looks pretty different mostly because the glasses, i wonder if she is going to keep them after they disband, iirc she doesn't really need glasses but it is on her contract that she can't appear in public without them otherwise her contract is going to get terminated

 

[Stan BiSH]

also lil Fang and Hina from FAKY guested on MAYU's radio show
