BiSH’s masterpiece. Recommended songs.

BiSH, the punk band without instruments.

They’re one of the most talked-about groups right now, breaking down the walls between idol groups and rock bands by appearing at both idol and rock festivals.

Their appeal? Fierce live performances that rival rock bands, distinctive vocals that showcase each member’s personality, and choreography crafted by Aina The End herself—the list goes on!

Their songs are characterized not only by rock sounds but also by the active use of strings.

In this article, I’ll introduce BiSH tracks where coolness coexists with beauty and cuteness.

The title track “LETTERS,” the sixth album overall, was released as a so‑called major 3.5th.

Its lyrics evoke a world transformed by COVID-19, and many living in the present day will likely feel a resonant message.

Overall, the key is low and the vocal range isn’t wide, but be careful not to let your guard down—there’s a sudden large leap in pitch partway through the chorus.

It’s a song whose restrained yet powerful dynamics leave a strong impression, so if possible, try to be mindful of that as you sing.

BiSH, who made their name with the tagline “a punk band without instruments.” In the music video for this song, they finally have instruments in their hands! They’ve performed plenty of rock-tinged tracks before, but from the intro onward this one feels more aggressive than ever.

The hefty sound and the forward-driving, attacking guitar riffs will get your blood pumping, making you feel as if you’re listening to a band active in the loud rock scene.

Surrender yourself to the exhilarating, full-throttle band sound.

The 12th single, “No Matter How Much You Change or How I Change, Tomorrow Will Come So I Can See You,” released as the sixth installment of the 12-month consecutive release project.

Its sentimental melody, carried by delicate acoustic guitar arpeggios, has a bittersweet quality that seems to reflect the feelings of a group heading toward disbandment.

The melody moves a lot and the high notes in the chorus require care, but the relaxed tempo makes it easy to sing.

It’s a heartfelt number that lets you experience BiSH’s wide expressive range.

The song “Mada Tochu,” which was used as the opening theme for the variety show “Netsuretsu! Hot Sand!,” is included on the major-label third album “CARROTS and STiCKS.” It’s a track whose noisy guitar intro sticks in your ears.

While the melody itself is simple, the tempo is fast and there’s a lot of syncopation, so pay close attention to the rhythm.

Also, since the melody rises in the chorus, be careful not to go off pitch.

Here’s looking at you, kid.BiSH

With her eccentric fashion and looks, Rinrin is arguably the most punkish member of the group.

She’s the quiet one, but the lyrics she writes are remarkably eloquent and full of conviction.

Looking back on the past and facing the present, this track reveals the strong resolve of a group that rose from underground live houses to stardom.

HiDE the BLUEBiSH

BiSH / HiDE the BLUE [TO THE END @ Yokohama Arena]
HiDE the BLUEBiSH

This is BiSH’s straightforward guitar rock number.

From the title “HiDE the BLUE,” you can sense a somewhat dramatic aura.

It features beautifully crafted punk lyrics that could be called the essence of beat mints boys—the duo of Junnosuke Watanabe and Kenta Matsukuma, who have produced many of BiSH’s masterpieces.

Is this call??BiSH

When talking about BiSH, the word “husky voice” inevitably comes up; Aina the End’s vocals have become an iconic symbol of the group.

This song, for which she wrote the lyrics and also handled the choreography, boasts a worldview so complete that it can be described less as song lyrics and more as a finished poem.
