BiSH's last concert: "Bye-Bye Show for Never" at Tokyo Dome, June 29, 2023

BiSH, a six-member Japanese group who called themselves "a punk band without instruments", announced in December 2021 that they would break up in 2023. On June 29, 2023, they played their last concert, Bye-Bye Show for Never, at Tokyo Dome, the stadium they had named as their goal in 2016, and disbanded with it. Before 50,000 fans they performed 28 songs, the opener twice; the last, sung by the six alone in a second encore, was their final single, "Bye-Bye Show".

About the artist

BiSH was formed in March 2015 as a successor to BiS, an idol group that had disbanded at Yokohama Arena in 2014[1][2]. The name comes from the group's early tagline, "Brand-new idol SHiT"[2]. Calling themselves "a punk band without instruments", BiSH made their major-label debut on avex trax in May 2016[3]. At a show at LIQUIDROOM in Ebisu, Tokyo, on January 19 that year, where they announced the debut, they named Tokyo Dome as their goal[4]. After several lineup changes, AYUNi D joined that August; with AiNA THE END, CENTCHiHiRO CHiTTiii, MOMOKO GUMi COMPANY, HASHiYASUME ATSUKO and LiNG LiNG, she completed the six who stayed together to the end[1][5].

Their best-known songs include "Ōkesutora" ("orchestra"), "Puromisu za Sutā" ("promise the star"), "My landscape" and "stereo future", and they headlined Yokohama Arena and Makuhari Messe[3]. The proceeds of their July 2020 best-of album, FOR LiVE -BiSH BEST-, were donated to live music venues[6]. Their fans are known as seisōin, "cleaners"[7].

Why this was the last show

On the morning of December 24, 2021, BiSH streamed an unannounced live show, THiS is FOR BiSH, from heavy sick ZERO in Nakano, Tokyo, the club where they had played their first headline show. It drew a cumulative 420,000 viewers on YouTube, and part of it went out live on Nippon TV's morning program Sukkiri[6]. Near the end, CENTCHiHiRO CHiTTiii announced that BiSH would break up in 2023, explaining that it was something decided long before, as the way BiSH would live[6][2]. It was a week before the group's first appearance on NHK's New Year's Eve show Kōhaku Uta Gassen[8], where they sang "Puromisu za Sutā"[9].

They also promised a year of farewells, including a release every month through 2022 and a tour of the 67 live houses in 33 prefectures that had received the proceeds of their best-of album[6]. The monthly releases ran to a twelfth single, "ZUTTO", on December 21, 2022[10][11].

The next day, during the encore of a show at Yoyogi National Gymnasium, CENTCHiHiRO CHiTTiii announced that BiSH would break up on June 29 at Tokyo Dome, the place they had dreamed of[11][10]. HASHiYASUME ATSUKO wrote on social media that Tokyo Dome had been a dream since the group was formed[12].

The final single, "Bye-Bye Show", came out on March 22, 2023, written and produced by Kazuya Yoshii of the rock band THE YELLOW MONKEY[13][14]. BiSH introduced it on PUNK SWiNDLE TOUR, which opened on March 8 and ended on May 25; it was their last hall tour[13][15].

What is known about the day

The show began at 6 p.m.[1] It was BiSH's first and last concert at Tokyo Dome, and 50,000 fans came[7][9]. A rabbit mascot warmed up the crowd, an opening film played, and with a bang the first song, "BiSH -Hoshi ga Matataku Yoru ni-" ("on a night of twinkling stars"), began. A band at the back of the stage played live behind the six[1][9].

In "stereo future", the six ran down the runway to the center stage. After a comedy sketch, they split between two floats shaped like portable shrines, decked with paper lanterns and cacti, and toured the arena floor singing "Pyo", "Pirapiro" and "DA DANCE!!"[1][9]. Between songs, AYUNi D recalled riding an attraction at the amusement park beside the Dome with LiNG LiNG and saying how nice it would be to stand in a place like that; CENTCHiHiRO CHiTTiii asked the crowd whether BiSH had become a group that belonged at Tokyo Dome[1]. The main set ended with "ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE".

After the first encore song, "Ōkesutora" ("orchestra"), each of the six spoke[9]. AiNA THE END told the fans that they, too, were fully members of BiSH[9] and, in tears, said she had never imagined she could live such a happy life[7]. CENTCHiHiRO CHiTTiii said she regretted nothing about the days the six had lived through together; these had been the happiest eight years[7]. After "beautiful-sa" ("beautifulness") and the band introductions, they sang the opening song once more, and the whole Dome sang along[9][1].

For a second encore, the six came out without the band and sang their final single, "Bye-Bye Show". It was BiSH's last song[1][7]. A single pure-white tree stood on the stage; in the closing passage, fans lit pink glow sticks they had brought[9], and the stands turned the color of cherry blossoms[7]. Against a backdrop of cherry trees in full bloom, the lift under each member sank, and the six disappeared from view[1]. Cherry petals drifted through the Dome[9], and the screen showed the word baibai ("bye-bye") with the members' signatures[1][7].

Reports put the setlist at 28 songs; with the opening song sung twice, that makes 27 different songs. The show ran for more than three hours[7][1], and afterwards a heavy thunderstorm broke outside[9][1].

What the show left behind

An after-movie went up on YouTube the day after the breakup[4], and on July 23 the concert film was streamed as a paid "virtual live" exclusively on the Hulu Store[16]. Bye-Bye Show for Never at TOKYO DOME, released on November 22, 2023, on Blu-ray and DVD, contains the 28 songs of the night and a documentary by the filmmaker Elizabeth Miyaji following the group's last months; the limited first edition adds the May 25 show at LINE CUBE SHIBUYA and the June 22 show at Miyajidake Shrine in Fukuoka[15][17].

BiSH THE BEST, a best-of album released the day before the concert, topped Oricon's weekly album chart[16]. After the breakup, the six went their separate ways, into music, acting, writing, television variety and art[4][7].

In November 2023, a Real Sound column on breakups and final shows at Tokyo Dome placed BiSH alongside BOØWY and JUDY AND MARY, noting that BiSH played the Dome only once, at the very end[18]. By Tower Records' count, 2,718 days had passed since the group named Tokyo Dome as its goal in January 2016[4].

A group that had started out in a club holding 80 people[6][9] ended in front of 50,000 at Tokyo Dome, with the six singing the last song on their own.

Context for readers

Idols and "a punk band without instruments". In Japan, aidoru (idol) groups are pop acts built around singing, dancing and personality. BiSH came out of that world but billed themselves as "a punk band without instruments": the members sang and danced but did not play[7][3]. Modelpress summed up their path as running from an unorthodox underground idol group to one known across the country[2].

Kōhaku. NHK's Kōhaku Uta Gassen is a music show broadcast every New Year's Eve; Real Sound described BiSH's first appearance, in 2021, as a long-cherished goal[12].

Tokyo Dome. The stadium has hosted many Japanese farewell concerts; Real Sound's 2023 column traces them from BOØWY in 1988 and JUDY AND MARY in 2001 to BiSH[18].

Names. The members are known by stage names, given here in the official romanizations from BiSH's website[3].
