Pour Lui Is Graduating From BiS

bis pour lui

Pour Lui will be graduating from BiS.

According to Pour Lui, she commented that BiS is no longer necessary for her and how she wasn’t necessary for BiS. She also mentioned how she thought about graduating during her hiatus in September.

This announcement was confirmed by Watanabe:

【速報】プー・ルイ三月四日国技館にてBiSを卒業することを発表。

Her final day with the group will be on March 4th at Ryogoku Kokugikan, with the group continuing without her on that date.

BiS is about to release a new double a-side single titled WHOLE LOTTA LOVE and it was confirmed that Pour Lui and Kamiyasaki will not be participating on that track (Aya will be back by then). However, the other track of the single DiPROMiSE appears to feature her and Kamiyasaki and will be Pour Lui’s graduation song.

This is an interesting move from Pour Lui has has long been known as the face of BiS since it was created. However, it seems like she is ready to move on to other projects and move on leaving behind BiS to continue on their own.

Thankfully, it seems like the group has been preparing for this for some time, with auditions for BiS already set since September and auditions for WACK in December.

For now, we look forward to finding out more about Pour Lui’s final single, how the group will manage after she leaves, and what she will be doing after she graduates. Best of luck Pour Lui!
