BAND-MAID performs with “Bestie” co-writer Mike for the first time at the world-renowned mega-band Incubus’ performance in Japan! A music video featuring costumes produced by SAIKI has also been released!

The globally popular girl band BAND-MAID appeared as a special guest at INCUBUS’ Tokyo Garden Theater performance held on May 1st, and performed their new song “Bestie” for the first time. Furthermore, after the performance, they released the “Bestie” music video.

The new song “Bestie” was co-written with Mike Einziger (Gt) of the American alternative band Incubus, which has sold over 23 million albums worldwide. It was announced in advance that on the same day as Incubus, he would be performing a co-written song with Mike live for the first time, but on this day, as a surprise, Mike also appeared on BAND-MAID’s stage. During the MC, the members called for the microphone, and after exchanging hugs with each member, they joined in to play the guitar during “Bestie,” which greatly excited the venue.

In addition, at 24:00 on the same day, the MV for “Bestie” was released on the official BAND-MAID channel, which has been viewed over 200 million times. Since this work was co-written with Mike, it was the first MV in which she wore a costume other than a maid costume. The off-white soft costumes, which match the image of the song, were produced by SAIKI (Vo.). The gap with the usual maid costume is also a fresh image.

In addition, the waitperson (live) video of the ZEPP YOKOHAMA performance held on February 22nd, which was an extra part of the band’s 10th anniversary tour that ended with great success, was distributed the other day, but as soon as it was distributed, It has become a trending topic and has become a hot topic. Official ticket lottery tickets for archive viewing and BAND-MAID hall tour are currently on sale, so check the official website for purchasing information.

Be sure to keep an eye on BAND-MAID as they continue to collaborate with world-famous artists, including a special concert with Mexico’s super popular sister band The Warning!
