BiS Kaisan Live ~BiS nari no Budokan~ @Yokohama Arena 

DVD Release Date: September 24th, 2014

BiS Kaisan Live ~BiS nari no Budokan~ @Yokohama Arena (BiS解散LIVE「BiSなりの武道館」@ 横浜アリーナ; BiS Disbandment Live ~BiS a la Budokan~) is a live concert DVD release of BiS' disbandment concert performed at Yokohama Arena on July 8th, 2014 to a close to capacity crowd of about 8,000. BiS concluded their "The Bis Who Sold the World" tour at the Sapporo Bessie Hall on June 30.

They initially planned to disband at Nippon Budokan, which was rejected for some reason and instead they chose to close out at Yokohama Arena instead. During the concert, BiS perform a marathon three-hour setlist of 48 songs (49 including a nerve encore). Tickets were exclusively sold for 30,000 yen, including an "all you can eat buffet" (revealed on the day to be McDonald's). 

One can write long experiences, views and stories, but lets cut to the chase. Watch the videos below to get a better understanding, but only in a Watch-and-Interpret mode!! (think of it as foreign language film, unfortunately everything is in Japanese, no English Subtitles).

Here is something you might not have known. What all happened before performance or things that led to this show. Here is a 4 part Japanese TV (TV Asahi - Web TV exclusive) featuring the PR Announcement,  Pre-Show, Rehearsals and Highlights of the Performance and of-course the Actual Performance as released later on DVD. And yes, this is a must have for all BiS Fans.
