History

On March 30th, 2019, at WACK EXHiBiTiON, BiS' second generation announced that they were to disband. At the same time, Watanabe Junnosuke announced his intention to reboot the group for a second time, and auditions for new members was opened immediately. The requirements for joining the group was to be a woman aged 18 to 28, who "understood the true meaning of Original BiS". When later asked to clarify, Watanabe stated that the girls would be willing to do anything to promote the group.

On June 11th, exactly one month after the second generation's disbandment, the founding members of third generation BiS were revealed as Manako Chiii Manako, Chantmonkee, Neo Trees, Toggy and Itou Musensiteebu. In a similar tradition as BiSH and POP, each member's eyes were obscured until they each got 15000 twitter followers.

They will debut on August 14th, with an album, "Brand-new Idol Society". Prior to the album's release, a demo version of the track "BiS3" was released on their Soundcloud. On June 25th, they released another song from the album, STUPiD, this time with the member's vocals. A week later an updated version of BiS3 and another song, SURRENDER were released as digital singles. Additional songs were then released in pairs every week for the next several weeks leading to the album's release. From July 20th to the 28th, BiS also appeared in record stores handing out flyers containing QR codes of additional tracks from Brand-new idol Society. As none of the members had yet reached the minimum target of twitter followers to reveal their faces publicly, they all wore visors that obscured their eyes, in a similar vein to the underground idol group ・・・・・・・・・.

Itou Musensiteebu was the first member to reach the 15000 follower goal and reveal her face on August 1st. Manako Chiii Manako soon followed just a few hours later. They officially debuted during the WACK presents DREAMLIGHTS in TIF set on August 4th. A few days later, they announced that they would get a monthly radio show, "SCHOOL OF BiS!".

On August 13th, just one day before the release of Brand-new idol Society, Manako Chiii Manako suddenly withdrew from BiS, giving no solid explanation as to her departure.

BiS held their first one-man live of the third generation, "THiS is BiS", on August 18th. Tickets were made to purchase over the phone, where members of the group answered. After the live had ended, Junnosuke Watanabe announced that the auditions for new members will be held until August 31st.
