BAND-MAID is bringing its high-energy hard rock sound to BEYBLADE X with “SPIN,” a new song that will become the anime’s ending theme for its upcoming The Beykingdom Arc. The band announced the song on September 17, confirming that the new chapter of BEYBLADE X will begin streaming in Japan on October 9, with episodes arriving every Friday at 7:00 PM JST on the official BeyTube YouTube channel and through additional streaming platforms. “SPIN” itself is scheduled to release worldwide on October 28 as the title track of BAND-MAID’s upcoming three-song single.
The collaboration connects the competitive energy of BEYBLADE X with BAND-MAID’s technically driven rock style. The song was specifically created around the series’ themes of spinning tops, collisions, explosive battles and the determination to overcome new challenges.
BAND-MAID’s “SPIN” Brings Hard Rock Energy to BEYBLADE X
“SPIN” is built around a rapidly changing arrangement that highlights the individual playing styles of all five BAND-MAID members. According to the band, the track is designed to mirror the speed and unpredictability of Beyblade battles while maintaining the group’s distinctive hard rock identity.
BAND-MAID vocalist SAIKI described the track as a “whirlwind of a song,” explaining that the members’ different playing styles collide throughout the arrangement. She also said the band incorporated the energy of spinning, collisions and explosive moments associated with Beyblade, while adding the strength to continue taking on new challenges.
The song will headline a three-track single arriving October 28. Alongside “SPIN,” the release includes “ENTROPY” and “Spring ephemeral.” Fans can already pre-save and pre-add the single ahead of its release.
The limited first edition CD and Blu-ray/DVD packages will also feature live footage from BAND-MAID’s July 12, 2025 performance at Toyosu PIT. The footage includes performances of songs such as “DOMINATION,” “Protect You,” “Choose me,” “NO GOD,” “Screaming” and “Ready to Rock,” giving fans additional live material alongside the new single.
