The Official WACK Thread ~ Home of BiSH, BiS, EMPiRE, MAMESHiBA NO TAiGUN, GO TO THE BEDS, PARADISES, and WAgg

1 year ago ExWHYZ was unveiled to the world

a little hard to think that a year passed already although of course it feels like less because they didn't actually debut until August and didn't started activities until November



ExWHYZ announced ExWHYZ PORTLAIT PROJECT『ExPRESSIVE』

Tokyo News Service who publishes TV Guide (TVガイド) and the magazine "B.L.T." announced a new project "blt graph.vol.90" which is going to be a new magazine focused on the world of entertainment, as part of it's debut they are going to feature a new series about the members of ExWHYZ

according to the company statement, along with their singing and dancing skills ExWHYZ has also caught the attention of the public for their image, the purpose of the project is to showcase the individuality of the members, as part of the serialization they are going to include photobook quality pictures of the members along personal interviews with them

Maho is going to be the first member and she is going to appear on the first issue, the magazine goes on sale on June 16 and is going to be available both in physical and online stores nationwide

ExWHYZのソロポートレート連続企画が6/16(金)発売の「blt graph.vol.90」より始動！ 第1回はmahoが圧巻の表現力を披露!!

speaking of Maho

[Stan BiSH]

some spam about the BiSH THE NEXT audition, is about to end so there isn't much reason to simply not wait but because among them are going to be the successors of BiSH it still makes sense posting

they published intro movies about the contestants of the show, there are only 12 of them left

GANG PARADE announced a fan poll to help them pick the fandom's favorite uniforms, not only GP but also GTTB and PARADISES uniforms are on the poll too






they also announced a contest

if during the duration of the contest you can successfully guess which uniforms the members are going to appear each during their next concerts you can win some prizes, the biggest one is that if you get the predictions right for at least 6 concerts then later this year you are going to not only be invited but you can also request your favorite uniform to be use during the concert, also i believe you get the other 5 prizes too

i can see some issues with that, for example what if the uniform you like the best is going to be used during the concert anyway since i believe the top ones are going to be use for that concert, the other thing is what if you favorite uniform is from the time the group was way smaller, are they going to make new uniforms for the new members too?

to the surprise of no one the "take themselves higher" are winning the poll

the first time i saw GP was during this era so maybe i'm biased although even the members that weren't part of the group yet still think this was their best too

WACK announced a collaboration with the mobile game "lords Mobile", the later crossed 600 million downloads and as part of their expansion into Japan they launched this contest





the first part of the collaboration is going to run from June 1 to June 30 and is going to include GANG PARADE, MAMESHiBA NO TAiGUN and TONAi BOUSHO

basically each group formed a guild and they want fans to join to help them defeat the others

集められた６つの騎士団-玉座をかけたイス取りゲーム-

lordsmobile-mameshiba.com

集められた６つの騎士団-玉座をかけたイス取りゲーム-

lordsmobile-tonaibousho.com

in each of the pages they have pictures and info on the members

but they are too many to post, there is a lot of info on how to join the contest but is on Japanese although google translate should do but it seems the contest is for Japan only anyway

phase 2 is going to be on July and is going to feature ExWHYZ, BiS and ASP, here the pages for them although they are still empty

集められた６つの騎士団-玉座をかけたイス取りゲーム-

lordsmobile-asp.com

also they started accounts for the contest





i believe this is the first company activity that includes TONAi BOUSHO? unfortunately this is also going to be the first major collaboration that doesn't include BiSH since they are disbanding later this month...

honestly i have no idea how this works but seems the members are playing too



13 vs 3?

seems fair

and is because of that they want fans to join their guilds to help them defeat the other groups

 

[Rez]

Just wanna say that my GP oshi is adorable thats all

 

[Stan BiSH]

*all WACK groups are going to appear on this year's TIF



ExWHYZ's appearance hasn't been announced yet so i wonder if they aren't going to appear, ever since their debut and also previously as EMPiRE they have guested in all previous years, i guess it could be because of their new tour?

also first year without BiSH... is not going to be the same specially if ExWHYZ don't appears either

-

more info on Dockson's ramen book

so it was announced that it was going to include "ramen gravure", well that isn't an actual thing (until now) turns out is going to consist of pictures of Usagi Tsukino eating ramen



yes just eating ramen, somehow that alone already assures the success of the photobook




-

Atsuko started an instagram account




Ayuni D invited Midoriko, Yumeka and Dockson for a photoshoot, i believe is going to be for the Gekkan WACK magazine?

also more Ayuni pictures



Aina's new single

アイナ・ジ・エンド / Red:birthmark [Official Music Video]（TVアニメ『機動戦士ガンダム 水星の魔女』Season2 ED）​

is the ED song of the new Gundam anime!

BiSH / Bye-Bye Show [PUNK SWiNDLE TOUR at LINE CUBE SHIBUYA]​

 

[Stan BiSH]

KiSS KiSS「KiSS KiSS KiSS」MUSiC ViDEO​

they just released their first album "FIRST ALBUM" (actual name)



i mean kinda expected since they are GP's sister group but it actually reminds me of some of GANG PARADE's older songs

 

[Stan BiSH]

WACK announced a new ad campaign called "WACKはしぶといぞ" (WACK Wa Shibutai Zo; "WACK Are Stubborn", "WACK Are Unyielding")

so the campaign has two parts, the first is that those photo books are being distributed for free in all TOWER RECORDS stores in Japan to all clients who spend 1,000 yen or more in any purchase

the second part are the ads located in this (famous) part of Shibuya

all members of WACK have their posters located somewhere in here so fans have been walking around trying to find them all, many of them even ran into Watanabe and took photos with him




these are the posters in the ads









there is a site for it

wackwashibutoizo2023

there along their photo each member also posted a hand written message:

 

[Stan BiSH]

so BiSH are disbanding in little more than a week

actually I've been avoiding checking stuff about them other than just some headlines here and there because it keeps reminding me about their disbandment, surely i'm going to end regretting that eventually (very soon actually!)

in any case the members of BiSH successor group had been decided already but we aren't going to know who they are until July 1



my bet? they are going to be an all female group and since 7 of the 12 contestants left were female that should make it easier to guess who, now is also possible there are going to be male members in the group but that seems unlikely

assuming i'm right and they become a girl group just like BiSH are, i think if i were Watanabe i would recruit the guys and try to put another boy group together but this time better prepared

well we are going to find out soon

also i wonder if they Tokyo Dome concert is going to be live streamed? the tickets were sold out months ago so is not like if one can just go and buy one, if would be nice if everyone could see BiSH's final performance

nevermind

it seems the members of the group haven't been picked yet, they are going to hold a real time vote on July 1 during the final episode and apparently (at least in Japan) the show is going to be live streamed in more streaming sites along Hulu

so fans are going to pick the members? i don't know if that makes the result more predictable or not

they also posted these performances from the 12 contestants left, they were divided into two teams and performed "THE NEXT"

Team Bi




Team SH




worth mention that, at least from what i understand, any contestant from any team could be picked for the group so those performances are there just for the entertainment value more than anything

btw "THE NEXT" is supposed to be BiSH's final recording as a group





also today was the final episode of BiSH's radio show 【ATTACK OF THE KiLLER BiSH】




it ran for almost 7 years!

good catch

just from the top of my head i know that MEW, Hana and Sae (she was in the 2019 camp and was part of project WACK-chin) were active at WACK before joining DS and i believe some other girls that participated in the audition camps also have ended there

i know that idols probably audition for multiple companies at the same time but even then is still interesting how there is such a big overlap between WACK and Dearstage

 

[Stan BiSH]

visual for BiS x GANG PARADE "HELL!! CLASH!! BREAK!! TOUR"

there are people asking if there is a deeper meaning to Coco and Dockson "not being" in the picture and saying goodbye, honestly i don't think it means anything

Dockson's Ramen book was released today



Natalie.mu did an interview with GANG PARADE and Dempagumi inc (Dearstage's group)

ASP announced their new single「I HATE U」

are they Gyarus now?

also

they really are trying their best to look like a group from 20 years ago


and those pained expressions at the end of the "NO COLOR S" MV?



it was some old guy playing their feet

 

[Stan BiSH]

Usagi Tsukino has black hair again!

 

[Stan BiSH]

also first time in her life that Now crosses her arms




and Mikina got her own serialization at QJ Web

is going to be monthly, she is going to visit train stations and get off at the ones she has never been before and just hang out around the area and write her thoughts

the first episode can be read here, is pretty long but is interesting

ExWHYZ・mikina、下高井戸駅で今の自分に足りないものを考える - QJWeb クイック・ジャパン ウェブ

ExWHYZ・mikinaが降りたことのない地を訪れ散歩をしながら自分と向き合う新連載「未開拓駅さんぽ～初めての街で考える～」。初回は京王線と世田谷線が通る「下

qjweb.jp

is not too complex so google translate is good enough to get the gist of what she is saying, seems she has been thinking about becoming an university student?

right now Mayu, Now and Mikina have active serializations in different magazines and websites, that's nice hopefully the other members too can get a chance to also write about the stuff like to do

also i wonder what they are filming?




this one is part of the recording too



probably a new MV?


and they released a 50 minutes long video of Mayu walking her dog Chikuwa

...they are going to be called BiASH, aren't they



well better than also being called BiSH

and fuck BiSH are disbanding in 48 hours, sucks but i'm prepared for it

I always forget that Chittiii is skinny cause she always wearing baggy clothes

i wonder if we are going to see huge image changes of the members during the next months, for example i also think Ayuni's style feel pretty different now that for example 1 year or so
