The Synopsis

"Budokan, BiS-style." Having aimed to break up at Nippon Budokan only to be turned down by the venue, Japanese alternative idol group BiS (Brand-new idol Society) staged their farewell at Yokohama Arena on 8 July 2014 instead — and named the show after the joke. This is the complete record of that night. Pour Lui, Nozomi Hirano, First Summer Uika, Tentenko, Saki Kamiya and Megumi Koshouji played to roughly 8,000 fans for some three and a half hours, working through 49 songs in near-reverse chronological order, from their newest material back to the tracks they started with. "nerve" both opens and closes the show, with "IDOL is DEAD", "My Ixxx", "STUPiG" and "primal." along the way, and former members returning to the stage. Provocative, shambolic and defiantly un-idol to the last, BiS's first and only arena concert is captured here in full.
