Producer: Kenta Matsukuma (he is just plain awesome with his music)...

Label: Avex Trax

Genres: J-pop, Pop punk, Metalcore

About The Song: This is Awesome!! This is Awesome!! ..... I will shout that out loud 100 times. How do you just do that... Incredible.. Folks you may think I am nuts for such rave but the fact is it is brilliant track I have ever heard from BiS. It has got the subtle mellow in its voice yet the mayhem or Punk Rock blasting in the background. I personally consider this as one of Pour Lui's finest singing ever. Nice, neat and pure delivery with Rio Michiyabashi fillers and backing vocals by Wacky Bis and Yufu Terashima. Not to mention the loud and creepy horror chants in the middle by Nozomi. 

About the Video: Well, as ever I was disappointed again with their MV here. Seriously, they were only appealing to perverts rather than music lovers in general. So, I thought how could this song fit in. Then "Idol is Dead" MV too was an appalling disconnect, but Strangely suited the vivacious vigor of ASH. Then why not a crossover... And Poff!! Mix the sights of Idol Is Dead with the sound of Ash and it just came out nice... Its nice and creepy, maintains the Punk Theme with the girls appearing out of a shutter in their Jail Bird outfits (Horizontal Black & White stripes... kinda Raccoon like) wielding their nails encrusted baseball bats through dark alley's filled with graffiti and empty parking lots.

It also features the infamous Guillotine, originally used to decapitate humans in medieval France. This classic execution device is shown in the video with Nozomi screaming out loud, like her head got chopped.. 

In a few shots there is a skull which gets kick around like a football, scrapped on the road with a BiS member skateboarding and even Pour Lui dropping the skull from the top of a building.. Yikes! Evil presence is evident with some cool graphics as well.  

My Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars.. My all time favorite BiS Smash Hit!!
