"Bish - Stereo future MV reaction: The Isolation."
by:
The Vole
During it's earlier days it has been no secret that the company that manages Bish has always tried to with really weird and shocking concepts for them but now that I feel that they are more established the groups has been moving more on focusing on their great music and Stereo future is proof of that. You have the trade mark Bish sound with powerful vocals , rock themes interspersed with a strong pianist and orchestra.
This MV focuses on the theme of Isolation and you see all the members in one trapped place after another. The whole MV I believe was shot in an abandoned mine or quarry and I get the feeling that the other shots were in the same area. The feel of shooting this MV in black and white gives it a more elegant feel and shows the different environments in a more dark feel.
Aina the End(still my favorite) opens with a shot of the expansive quarry , Hug Mii is in a meditative pool that opens up to a large square , Sentochihiro is in a place of rough hewn stone stairs , Ling Ling is in a dark forest , Ayuni D is in part of the quarry that is filled with what looks like rubble of the facility.The bespectacled Hashiyasume is in a small brick hut.
You get the feeling that regardless of the place these girls are isolated and alone , it can be as expansive(the quarry or forest) or as small (the meditative garden ,brick hut or rubble room) but the fact remains that they are all alone. With some being brought into Madness(Aina) , Loneliness( Hug Mii and Hashiyasume) , Fear(LingLing) and Anger/Desperation (Ayuni D).
It seems like in this video , the leader Sentochihiro is the only one who ascends from the depths of her isolation. Showcased by her climbing the stone stair case emerging into yet into another expansive space and you feel that there is some distance if she can ever reach her other members but she does.
And the first she reaches is the frustrated Ayuni D who has injured her cheek.Hug Mii reaches Hashiyasume in the brick Hut and Aina who has been shown walking on despite her madness reaches Ling Ling in the Dark forest.
That solo shot of Sentochihiro with the 5 others in the back is cool in that sense that you know that they have been gathered from their isolation.In the end they are shown by pairs and then as a whole group walking out. Ever together.
