Billie Idle is a five-member female idol group whose music is not of a traditional pop genre but instead a punk rock style full of energy and fun. The group is a continuation of former idol group BiS, whose acronym stands for “Brand new idol Society”. Billie Idle’s founding members are First Summer Uika and Hirano Mozomi, both of whom began their careers in BiS. Auditions were held to fill out the rest of the group and Momose Momo and Yasui Yuuhi won their respective auditions. Billie Idle went on to make their full debut in March of 2015. In 2016 Yasui Yuuhi had to step down from the group due to health reasons but fortunately Momose Momo’s sister Akira stepped in to take Yasui’s place. Finally, on May 12 of 2018, Pour Lui, who founded and started BiS, made a surprise appearance with Billie Idle during their encore at a concert. It was later revealed that she would be joining the group full-time and on June 6 of 2018 she was officially made a full-time member of Billie Idle.

Being an offspring of BiS, Billie Idle keeps a lot of that same DNA, leaning more toward rock and avoiding pop music typically associated with idol groups. They have a really good punk sound that radiates energy and you can hear this on full display in “P.S.R.I.P” (posted below). Each of the girls has a great voice and really, their music is just plain fun to listen to.

In the years since Billie Idle got started they have dropped six full albums and one mini-album. Their first album Idle Gossip was released in April of 2015 and their first single “Anarchy in the Music Scene” was dropped a month earlier. The group is still rocking out to this very day; in fact, they just released their amazing single “Bokura Mada Chippokenakorono Hanashi” and have also announced they will be releasing a brand new album in October.
