Kanami wrote this song years ago with this moment in mind: anthemic audience sing along in a huge stadium. Vision realized! And yeah, they added an extra chorus at the end with new lyrics reflecting their appreciation if their fans. Yes its a love song, but one directed to the fans. Also, the song reminds me of Van Halen's "When It's Love." Has that same anthemic sing-along type outro.
When you go to a Band Maid concert and sing this chorus with everyone else, you become a part of the Band Maid world forever. I've been there and felt that connectiveness.
Last song of the 3,5 hour tour final Okyu-ji at Yokohama Arena. It was an emotional moment and a worthy end of a fantastic show. And yes, there were tears.
They were so sneaky putting the graphics on the screen. Later we found out that will be the cover of the Bluray/DVD of this show. This MV (33 of 33 from the show) is 4 of 4 MV teaser before the Bluray/DVD release on Mar. 27, 2024. Was there (with about 10K others) and it was electromagnetic, Po! 🦍🍌And, yes, this song is an anthem (love song) for us from Band Maid, Po! Btw, Saiki added a new last verse specially for this show.
MISA MISA MISA! Kafka's Jmusicbox is pretty good with translations, but I would assume the video lyric translation had Miku's cooperation. The spoken part in the middle was a preface to a special new verse for the occasion - the end of their 10th anniversary tour. It was a long year and this song closed every serving (that I know of, maybe not the festival shows). Saiki poured her heart out onto the stage.
