BiS: ESCAPE from BiSimulation

Overview

On 8 January 2023 BiS played their first one-man show at Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall in Tokyo, and this Blu-ray keeps the whole night. It was meant to be a celebration — the group's first headline show since Hyuga joined in October 2022 — but the announcement that Ito Musensiteebu and Neo Trees were leaving turned it into a farewell, the last time BiS ever performed as a five. Borrowing its title from the first generation's signature single "BiSimulation", the show dresses the outdoor stage as a prison break, red door and brick wall, and puts Toggy, Nano3, Hyuga, Ito Musensiteebu and Neo Trees on it in black-and-white convict stripes. Eighteen songs run from "LET'S GO Doumo" through "Smokin' Billy", "thousand crickets", "Tsuyogari-san" and "TOUCH ME" to "LOVE", then a long, tearful MC before an encore of "BiS -Douyara Zombie no Odemashi-" and "CURTAiN CALL", played twice. Twenty-one songs in front of a sold-out park.
