While working on our list of songs, I decided to try rewriting the English lyrics to BiS' ODD FUTURE. I noticed they didn't flow very well if sung without the accent, so I wanted to write them for English but still maintain most of the original lyrics/meaning. Also, I just woke up so I think I sound a bit tired and quiet. Sorry about the loud breaths toward the end. Here are the re-written lyrics: I occasionally remember all the days. What you do now, you'll do it well. There are times when I only see myself. Well, because we are almost over. Where will there really be any important things? Sympathize with every important one? Although many things were considered, I don't understand well. How is everybody? Korobu atosaki Kokoro no oku Tsukande wa kieru yo Yureru omokage Everybody knows these feelings When it's now that only one thing has been thought about, you'll think like that. Kouritsuku hodo no ima tabi no tochuu When it's now that only one thing has been thought about, you'll think like that. Tameiki bakaride sotto me o tojiru I occasionally remember all the days. What you do now, you'll do it well. There are times when I only see myself. Well, because we are almost over. Where will there really be any important things? Sympathize with every important one? Although many things were considered, I don't understand well. How is everybody? Korobu atosaki Kokoro no oku Tsukande wa kieru yo Yureru omokage Everybody knows these feelings When it's now that only one thing has been thought about, you'll think like that. Kouritsuku hodo no ima tabi no tochuu When it's now that only one thing has been thought about, you'll think like that. Tameiki bakaride sotto me o tojiru When it's now that only one thing has been thought about, you'll think like that. Modorenai michi o hikikaesu tochuu When it's now that only one thing has been thought about, you'll think like that. Ima wa mada ienai yasashii kotoba Thanks!

Last year I auditioned for BiS via e-mail. I sang Sayonara Ponytail's 「あの頃」. My cover wasn't very good though haha. I made some mistakes and at times I couldn't be heard because of the backing track. (you can hear it hear https://soundcloud.com/amiebis ) I decided to rerecord the song almost a year later because I think I've improved a bit since then. Thymine and I both love SayoPony and BiS, so it'd be cool to cover BiS' version of this song some day! Art is by Thymine.

We are 嫌IDOL
Tumblr media
Hello. This is Amie, 嫌IDOL's leader.
Formed about a week ago, we are a Los Angeles based punk (in spirit!) idol unit.
Our members are Amie and Thymine. We became friends through admiration of unorthodox idols such as BiS and Dempagumi.inc.
For years, we both dreamed of being idols. We both wanted to be like typical cute, happy, fun idols that dominate the industry. But as time passed, we saw another side of the industry.
There was no room for girls like us.
Girls who weren't bubbly and happy all the time.
Girls who wrote songs with more depth that "I want to drink coffee with the boy I like and walk under the cherry trees! Ah, Spring romance!"*
Girls who drew cute art but with a dark twist.
Then BiS came onto the scene. Declared anti-idols by some, they aimed to shake up the idol world and take everything that's wrong with it and throw it in your face. They didn't have perfect singing technique. They weren't too great at dancing. Their videos were shocking and controversial.
It was almost like a religious experience, at least for me.
They embodied everything I could have ever wanted in a group and even going onto a major label, they didn't change their ways.
BiS has opened the doors for groups with a dark image.
But like the idol world in Japan, focused on cute and perfect, the foreign and net idol world was no different.
Thymine and I noticed how all the groups outside Japan were all about cute and happy images, emulating the norm of Japanese Akiba and mainstream pop idols.
And before I go on, there's nothing wrong with this type of idol. If it's your thing or what you want to be as an idol, please pursue whatever makes you happy!
But we can't say that this is at all the route we wanted to go. We know that to be even remotely popular, the best thing is to be cute and appealing to certain markets. But we believe that doing so would be shoving away everything that makes us who we are and donning a mask.
And so, we aim to be the BiS of the foreign idol world.
We know we're not the cutest girls.
We know we're not polished singers, even though we both have quite a few years of classes.
We know that taking this route will be significantly more difficult.
But we're doing it.
We're not Japan or Bust. We don't need a major debut in Japan. All we want is to perform surrounded by people who feel the way we do and support us for what we are. No matter if it's 50 people or 5000, we'll consistently give our all.
We are not pop.
We are not moe.
We are 嫌IDOL.
Please mosh with us!
