■BiTE A SHOCK
“BiTE A SHOCK” is a six-member mixed-gender dance and vocal group consisting of MAHiTO, SAORi, RiNA, HARUTO, RYUUSEi, and HANANO.
The group was formed through an audition by BiSH, a “punk band without instruments” that disbanded at the height of its power after a solo concert at the Tokyo Dome, and continues to weave the soul of BiSH. The members were decided on Saturday, July 1, 2023, and the group made its major debut.
