First Take is a Sony brand. Anything that doesn't benefit them won't appear. If the label were different, the wall would be even higher. There is a possibility that the label will accept the offer if it is expected to be profitable, but the terms will not be made public. BAND-MAID does a lot of similar things in their live shows. In Japan, there is criticism that the first take is not a one-shot.

Sony, Avex, Toy's Factory, Amuse are some of the more aggressive labels that go after people. Some artists/labels PAY to be on First Take, I don't know if PC wants to do that and not have the rights to the rights to the First Take videos.... I believe when choosing the label they were moving to, Miku probably turned away from those labels because she knows how much reactors benefit the band.

It's so cool to get a song that really spotlights on Saiki. I think it's also a bit of the function of this being the end theme for a anime, the singer is usually more prominent in those. But still, her technical vocal work in those verses was just unreal!

Talking of vocal run, that ascending vocal run Saiki does in the 2nd verse sounds like the trill that I hear a lot in Indian/Islamic music I absolutely love. You hear her did that in Endless Story at Yokohama Arena but I this song she did it with hint of Islamic flair, or an I imagining it? And just after the first chorus there is a small part where a different instrument came in, probably Koto or sitar. I think you've noticed that because you raised your brows slightly. Am I right? In my opinion it has the strong middle eastern ethnic vibe and I absolutely love it whenever the Maids do something interesting or different.

Also noticeable is the level of Japanese reaction to this video premiere. Normally it's dominated by foreigners. Their year and a half of cultivating the home market is paying off. Japan is the second biggest music market in world. Also I believed they played this live the other night and it was wild according to one of those Japanese comments

This song is so good, it reminds me of the Different/Shambles vein, but as stated below, it will probably never be on The First Take because of Sony. Is it Hitsujibungaku you saw on that? They are a really good band, very grunge/alternative. They did the ED for JJK More than Words, that's probably the song you are seeing, they just released a new ED for OSHI NO KO called Burning that kicks butt, Addiction is so good as well. Regal Lily another great band does the ED for Delicious in Dungeons called Twilight Ash. Both bands have been around for as long as Band Maid as well, I think audiences outside of Japan are starting to hear about a lot of great bands from Japan due to the rise in anime popularity.
