Besides Nozomi, the trio consists of vocalist and programmer Hideki Hoshi and vocalist Celinuntius Fujisawa, both of whom are also active in Osaka-based four-member alternative rock band RobotMeetRobo. It should be mentioned that Hideki Hoshi is at the heart of BIJ\u016a, fully expressing his vision. Also good to know is that 33 Insanity&#8217;s Vertebra is currently on hiatus, it will be interesting to see how Nozomi will develop in this new project.<\/p>\n<p>Right from the start, BIJ\u016a got off to a flying start by immediately releasing singles to show how ambitious and idiosyncratic the music project is. The trio has since released seven tracks to give a taste of what to expect from BIJ\u016a. They offer a digital sound with a foundation of electropunk fused with elements of electronic music such as digital hardcore, industrial and acid techno. The most recent release, a double A-side single titled <em>Durge\/WITCH<\/em>, was released at the start of October where the almost entirely instrumental track <em>Durge<\/em> pays tribute to 90s hardcore techno.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Durge\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1tNjB52X85I?list=OLAK5uy_n5tF0EB115XuwTN1zvhhwyKKXKWsUScSs\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/digital-pogo-flyer.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-88931\" src=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/digital-pogo-flyer-566x800.jpg\" alt=\"Digital Pogo flyer with the names of performers and information about the event that will take place on 7 October 2024.
