解散したBiSに代わるグループとして、今年オーディションを経て結成されたのが〈新生クソアイドル〉ことBiSH。そこからわずか1か月でメンバーが1人脱退という波乱もあったが、そんなドラマも糧に生き急がんばかりの輝きを放つのが、このファースト・アルバムだ。日々の空虚に魂を焦がして立ち向かわんとする姿がARBと被る“スパーク”をはじめ、松隈ケンタ製の乾いたギターがゴリゴリと唸るエモーショナル・シットの数々は、BiSの流れを汲みつつもよりタイトに引き締められた印象。何よりメンバー4人のなかでもハスキーな声が耳を惹くアイナ・ジ・エンドの歌力はちょっと格が違う。リード曲“BiSH-星が瞬く夜に-”のMVよろしく泥まみれで突っ走る女の子たちの青春が詰まった、心を震わせるクソ名盤です。
[English Translation]
BiSH, aka 'Brand-new idol SHiT', was formed through an audition this year as a successor to BiS (Japanese idol group). Despite the withdrawal of a member from the group only one month after that, they shine with splendour like living a life of intense activity, as showcased on this first album. Including the track "Spark" that resembles the song of the Japanese rock band, ARB, in which one stands against the emotional emptiness of daily life with a burning soul, the album features a number of ‘emotional shits’ embellished with Kenta Matsukuma's dryly cracking guitar, giving an impression that they maintain the direction of BiS but are more tightly focused. Among others, the singing prowess of Aina The End whose husky voice is more ear-catching than any other three members of the group is in a totally different class. As seen in the music video of the lead track "BiSH - Hoshi ga Matataku Yoru ni -" where they charge through covered in mud, this is a heart throbbing, great ‘piece of shit’ filled with the energy of youth.
