In summer 2019, they played it for the first time on their European tour. A big arena wasn't in sight yet, but if you look at the fancam from Bochum, for example, you can see how well the song was already played, although the audience (myself included) had some trouble getting the melody right. To our excuse, I have to mention that most of us old folks could barely sing in Saiki's register. The same goes for some other singalong songs😂. Listen to Moratorium in Hamburg, a young woman in the first row saved us.
You now? I hardly post any comments on KZbin, but just for this I will leave one, what an amazing band, what an amazing group of musicians, what an amazing group of people, Band-Maid is something special and we are all fortunate to live in the same time as them.

Had my semester abroad in Asia at the time of that concert. Two weeks before the concert I decided on a whim to fly to Tokyo for 3 days and go to the concert as I have been listening to their songs almost from the beginning. It was such a memorable experience. Probably one of the best concerts I ever saw live. I am a musician myself and to be honest I gave up on a music career, but the concert made me so extremely enthusiastic about music again, that I decided to start writing my own songs again and invest more time in music. The chance is probably small that one of the Band Maid members ever sees this, but if by chance they do, I just want to thank you with all my heart for giving me that spark again to making music. I will never forget that day I went to your concert. Keep on spreading that joy of music you also were able to convey to me. Thank you so much! ありがとう!あなたの音楽が大好きです!!!! Edit: maybe a fun story to add. I didn‘t get it that you have to collect your tickets at the ticket office with the paper you print out at Seven Eleven. I was so used to it from my home country that the printed out paper is the entrance ticket. So I was standing there in line, saw everyone pull out a different ticket and I immediately knew I made a mistake. Luckily the people a the entrance helped me to get the ticket. But you can‘t imagine how dumb I felt at that moment🙈

This song is criminally underrated and one of my favorites. Conqueror is probably my favorite Band-Maid album. But this song in particularly is so cleverly written. I was still noticing things buried in the arrangement on my 50th listen. It sounds pretty simple on the surface, but when you start paring it down, you see the layers and all the little tidbits buried in it. The Ice Queen has melted! 😂

Miku, Saiki, Kanami, Akane and Misa, I think I speak for a lot of your fans across the planet when I thank you for what you have done to bring great rock back to everyone's ears.

"I'm not crying ... I'm bawling my eyes out!" Poor Akane gets very emotional at the last songs of momentous concerts, like the last concert on the US tour, and of course this anniversary concert. But "Endless Story" is so fitting as a final song. She's allowed to cry.

This song is powerful to me because the lyrics are clearly a love song to someone that the singer has been with for a long time already. She is committing to stay with them despite both the good times and bad times that they have had in the past. At this performance, you feel that this song is a love song from Band-Maid to their fans. It transforms from an abstract song to something that is being sung to us. "You know where ever you go, We'll be together." But the kicker is when Saiki sings the new verse at the end that solidifies this song as a love song to the fans: "For making today possible, For letting our voices join together Thank You! From now, always We'll never forget this view shared with you." The Blu-ray cannot come quick enough.

The livestream video version was slightly different from this official live video release, in the livestream, there are more and longer close ups of Akane, Miku, Kanami and Misa, where you can clearly see they're trying not to break down but Akane and Miku's eyes can been seen longer at some point from that video that they were both getting teary eyes. Ahh Endless Story, I hope Band-Maid stays forever and won't end. ❤
The greatest rock band on earth. And it was so cool to see Saiki so emotional and so happy and so thankful at the end. And you know she meant it from the bottom of her heart. Teary eyed as usual for me. For those of us who get it, BAND-MAID has literally made our lives better and a lot of us actually need them daily for a boost of happiness in this miserable world. Honestly, if BAND-MAID never formed, a lot of us would have far fewer happy moments in our lives. They just have something extra that can literally make your life better. And I’m a 53 year old man with 40 years in the music world, mostly rock and metal world. BAND-MAID is different and the combination of the 5 of them is literal magic. I wish them all the happiness in the world. Because they have brought me so much, and they absolutely deserve it. Thank you, Saiki, Akane, Misa, Kanami and the 1 who made it all happen, Miku.

This band is unparalleled in performance, diversity and incredible versatility. With a repertoire of well over 130 songs, the band's repertoire includes all musical elements. From classical musical expression to avant-garde and innovative compositions, the diversity and innovation never ceases to amaze and bore. I've been following these girls for over five years now and it's a world that has nothing to do with the words 'boredom' or 'getting used to'. It's a slow sound world where time and space seem to have stood still and stopped walking from the superluminal speed of 220 bps ... The mysterious harmony of Black Hole's demonic sound and Memorable's angelic murmuring gentleness... It is an unbelievable fact that the same members have unleashed as sound the cruel violence of sound that kills everyone who hears it, destruction and purification, and the kindness and compassion that purifies and redeems anguish and vexation. On instrumental tracks such as 'Onset' and 'Without Holding Back', the instruments speak eloquently to the audience and call out to them with their expressive sounds. The girls seem to be overturning old stereotypes of music and breaking new ground. They overcome differences in national borders, race, gender, ethnicity, culture and language, as if they had never existed in the first place, and convey joy and inspiration to people all over the world. The true meaning of the common phrase "music has no boundaries"... I realise that I have not understood it well enough. The recent acoustic live performance at the Shibuya LINE CUBE also proved this to me, with many fans from abroad sharing the facts of music with me. No two of their live concerts are the same. And the best live music is always to be found in the latest 'OKYUJI'. The word "one and only" is the word they use to describe their existence. And live performances are always "once in a lifetime". The setlist is never the same, it is always changing. And old songs are new and new songs are deepened. How many times have you seen the same songs evolving and deepening? The sheer mass of songs is like being surprised to discover that a huge entity like the Black Hole has been lurking quietly in the world of music. I highly recommend you to join BAND-MAID on a long, deep and meaningful musical journey.
