Misaki was involoved in the music video of 5 Seconds of Summer ‘Youngblood’, which presents the vibrant and beautiful Japanese rockabilly scene. The video had over 229 million views as of May 2024.[4]
Their rockabilly-arranged cover songs posted on "the Biscats Channel"[5] (YouTube) are also well-recieved, and are included on the cover album "J-BOP SUMMER" (2023).[6][7] The cover album "J-BOP SUMMER" had the Billboard Japan Download Albums ranking at 26th,[8] and the Oricon digital album sales ranking at 28th.[9]
From October 2023 to February 2024, a national concert tour "Notteke(ノッてけ)! J-Bop Summer" was held.[10] On the last day of the tour, it was announced that a solo live performance "The Biscats SPECIAL LIVE ‘Rockabilly Night’" is scheduled at the Shibuya Public Hall (LINE CUBE SHIBUYA) on August 10th, 2024.[11][12]
