The agency WACK, founded by Junnosuke Watanabe in 2014, is known for shaking up the Japanese music industry and rose to notoriety with BiS, labeled “the most disliked girl group in Japan” by VICE in an article in 2014. They broke up in 2014, ending with a show complete with an unlimited McDonald’s buffet, but they left a lasting impression with their sharp music videos and bold magazine shoots.
Following this, WACK continued to foster unconventional talents that have made waves in both pop and rock genres. For example, BiSH (Brand-new idol SHIT), which at the start was seen as successor to BiS, gained recognition with their “punk band without musical instruments”, even collaborating with prominent figures like Taka (ONE OK ROCK), MEG (MEGMETAL), and KENTA (WANIMA) for their music before disbanding last June of last year. At the moment WACK manage more than 10 artists and groups, also including BiS as the third generation is now active.
