"Hibana" - Band-Maid at Belasco Theater in Los Angeles, 10/15/2022

Saiki went really hard on Hibana. I was right by her, and she was putting everything into this song.

[@alxvdark]

Saiki doesn't get praised enough IMO. She's an amazing rock singer and performer.

いやあ、SAIKIは凄いなあ。完全に場を支配している。

[@jimr4354]

One of the most underrated BM songs. Really great Kanami songwriting with that classic Miku scream. Brilliant. Would have made a good MV.

[@weilima9316]

Thank you for this! More HIBANA required on KZbin! Saiki and Miku both so rock solid!

👏👏👏👏 Oh, YES!!! Love this song 🤘. 100% agree with Weili Ma. Spark (live) is seriously underrepresented. Thank you for uploading.

Sai-chan すごーいです

For me Hibana is on top of my list. I just wonder why few of this song is being posted. Anyway, it's a subjective matter. Thank for posting this gem, solid diamond, really hard rock - almost metal. LIVE FOREVER BAND-MAID!!!

[@timbrown1790]

I don't think they've played it live very much. Looking at the setlists for their US shows, so far this is the only show they've played this.

Thanks Tim!

You're welcome!

Interesting, I didn't pay too much attention to everything but it looked like Miku was sortof picking up the highest notes. :) Great how she has Saiki's back when it comes to those, they are really good.

[@lordgalahad]

Miku has a higher pitched voice which is more suitable for J-Pop, which was why they got Saiki in the First Place. But Miku can go High or Low (what we call her froggy voice) depending on how Saiki is singing

[@timbrown1790]

@@lordgalahad and when they brought in Saiki, Miku really didn't have a place in the band other than as a backup singer, so she pushed herself to learn to play guitar

[@christopherscottdempwolf5759]

​@@timbrown1790 her evolution has been fun to watch. MISA, Akane, and Kanami are such great musicians and they deservedly get a lot of attention. Saiki's vocals are excellent, but more to the point, everything about her - vocals, character, etc. "fits". Miku's contributions are harder to pick out because they are often background or supporting. But they are as important to the Band-Maid sound as anyone else. I am so glad we don't have to pick a favorite because I couldn't do it.

Damn. I don't think BM played this song at Houston. It was a great concert with or without this song.

[@timbrown1790]

Every concert has a slightly different setlist

[@packerjip9665]

@@timbrown1790 I know, but would like to have heard it. It had no factor as my enjoyment of the concert. I enjoyed it so much and will never forget the experience.

Hibana makes me want to run through walls to get to an objective.

zeppでやりましたよー

@@rpn1123 すみません、US TOURでの話です。私もNamba HatchとDiamond Hallで見てます。すごくライブ向きの曲なのに、なぜ、アメリカではやらないんだろうと思っていました。
