Overview

On 22 April 2018 BiSH — the six-piece Japanese group who bill themselves as “a punk band without instruments” — closed their pUBLic imAGE LiMiTEd TOUR at Nakano Sunplaza in Tokyo, their first headline show in a concert hall. The tour had run since 30 January across thirteen venues and sixteen sold-out nights, and this film keeps the whole final evening intact. Aina The End, Cent Chihiro Chittiii, Momoko Gumi Company, Hashiyasume Atsuko, Lingling and Ayuni D open with “SHARR” and drive through “Orchestra”, “Promise the Star”, “Spark” and “GiANT KiLLERS”, breaking only for banter and Hashiyasume Atsuko’s comedy skit, before an encore of “My landscape”, the chart-topping “PAiNT it BLACK” and “BiSH -Hoshi ga Matataku Yoru ni-”. Issued two months later on the Blu-ray and DVD of the single “Life is beautiful / HiDE the BLUE”, it catches the band on the way to their first arena headline show.
