GANG PARADE「Sparkling Moon」Music Video​

3 things!

their double single Good Luck My Future / Sparkling Moon debuted at #1 in the oricon daily single chart!



the song was picked as the theme song of the drama? series? Wakako Zake


also you can think of Sparkling Moon as the sequel to SUPER PARTY PEOPLE (GANG PARADE CINEMATIC UNIVERSE )

ExWHYZ / ドラマ【TOUR2024 'HOPE' Final at Zepp DiverCity 20241227】​

nice "Drama" was one of my favorite songs from their EP Sweet&Sour always nice to listen to it

speaking of sweet and sour things this performance fits well into that title! they were playing pictures from not only their days as EMPiRE but also of now and midoriko, they were close and even when they left were still on goods terms with each other so is really sweet they acknowledged their time together, "HOPE" was a farewell to that time and the start of a new era for them as a group

nice to see how lately all members are in high spirits like maho just pulling a sideflip from nowhere in the middle of a song lol

love mayu "did you all see that!?" face

also my exact reaction

anyway looking forward to 2025, they already announced a new nationwide tour and we are getting new music very soon!

Miyuki joined ZOCX

...let's hope Seiko behaves this time although i doubt it

in any case happy to see Miyuki again

 

[Stan BiSH]

speaking of Seiko and ex WACK people she is the producer of the new girl group THE PINK MINDS, Scrambles is in charge of their music






they are somehow even lower budget than LiVS but have better music, i don't recognize a single member from anywhere but so far the songs have been decent

really if you took LiVS members, gave them BiTE A SHOCK's budget and have Kenta write their music you would be really close to having an actual BiSH 2.0

seems BiS are going to perform too so (not sure if their final concert is going to be live streamed) this is going to be likely the last chance to see them live

goodbye BiS3!



5 and a half years, longest running generation of BiS

in perspective is shocking right? sure we had disbandings during that time (CL, Boysgroup, TONAi BOUSHO) but this is more in line with BiSH's disbandment than the others since they were among the big names in the company, really another chapter closed today, i have to say that while the 2nd gen is still my favorite i really enjoyed 3rd too specially with the original line up, the new members are great too but never felt the same attachment to the group as i did during the Toggy / Teebu / Neo / Chantmonkee era

no idea what is going to happen to the members but there is still another event tomorrow, despite the group being no more, we may get some announcements about what is going to happen to them i do think is very unlikely any is going to remain in the company but who knows, in any case were are going to know very soon

btw Watanabe says there are no plans for a 4th gen at the moment (which is expected since the 3rd's corpse is still warm) i'm sure eventually there is going to be another
