Idol Is Dead

Idol is Dead (stylized IDOL is DEAD) is the second studio album released by Japanese idol group BiS on October 28, 2012. It is their first original album released on a major label, as well as the first (and only) full album released with the "Quintet" lineup (Pour Lui, Nozomi Hirano, Yufu Terashima, Rio Michibayashi, and Yurika Wakisaka). The album continues the style of BiS's previous releases, containing songs of different types of rock. It also continues the tradition of their studio albums containing a cover, in this case Shinichi Osawa's "Our Song", arranged in a Shoegaze style. The four tracks ("nerve", "My Ixxx", "primal." and "IDOL") from their independent label days have been re-recorded.
