BiSH Lets Go With Music at Miyajidake Shrine Fukuoka

One week before they disbanded, BiSH came to Miyajidake Shrine in Fukutsu, Fukuoka, and played on sacred ground. Staged on 22 June 2023 as part of KDDI's regional live project "Ongaku to Ikou" ("Let's Go With Music"), the show took its theme from the shrine's famous path of light and was streamed live to paying viewers on uP!!! and TELASA. A temporary stage was built beneath the shrine's enormous sacred straw rope, before a small audience of fans - "cleaners", as BiSH called them - drawn by lottery. Entering to a piano arrangement of "FiNAL SHiTS" and wearing the red costumes they treated as formal dress, the six members opened with their last single "Bye-Bye Show", gave "innocent arrogance" its live premiere, and dug out rarities such as "MOON CHiLDREN", "HUG ME" and "My distinction". Fourteen songs carry the evening from dusk into night, closing with "Orchestra" and "beautiful-sa" - a prayer for the Tokyo Dome farewell still to come.
