Overview

ヒバナ (Hibana, meaning "spark") is a VOCALOID track by prolific producer DECO*27, featuring Hatsune Miku. It originally appeared in 2017 on the HATSUNE MIKU 10th Anniversary Album 「Re:Start」, a compilation celebrating a decade of the iconic vocal synthesizer. The arrangement was handled by Rockwell, and the accompanying music video was produced by HASSAN. The song's electronic pop-rock sound is propelled by a relentless 200 BPM tempo, mirroring the emotional urgency of its lyrics, which navigate themes of insecurity, self-doubt, and the messy contradictions of romantic love, demanding raw honesty over hollow reassurances. In maimai, ヒバナ was added with the launch of maimai FiNALE on December 13, 2018, as one of the version's debut VOCALOID offerings. The song's charts span five difficulty tiers, with the upper end designed by three distinct note designers: 玉子豆腐 (Tamagodoufu) on EXPERT, 緑風犬三郎 (Happy) on MASTER, and 華火職人 (Kanon Oguni) on Re:Master. Notably, 華火職人's handle translates to "Fireworks Artisan," a fitting thematic match for a song titled "Spark." The Re:Master chart sits at a level 13.2 difficulty constant, making it a demanding boss-chart candidate within the FiNALE-era vocaloid lineup. Beyond maimai, the song crossed over into Sega's other rhythm titles CHUNITHM CRYSTAL and ONGEKI PLUS, and a remastered version titled ヒバナ-Reloaded- was released in 2019. In the Chinese version of maimai DX, the song was temporarily removed during the 舞萌DX 2021 revision but restored with the 舞萌DX 2022 update. Its lasting presence across multiple generations of Sega arcade rhythm games has cemented ヒバナ as one of DECO*27's most recognizable contributions to the rhythm-game scene.

Trivia

The song was originally released on the HATSUNE MIKU 10th Anniversary Album 「Re:Start」 in 2017, a compilation that featured multiple VOCALOID producers celebrating a decade of Hatsune Miku.
A remastered version titled ヒバナ-Reloaded- was released in 2019, though it did not replace the original in maimai.
The Re:Master chart designer 華火職人 (Kanon Oguni) uses a name meaning 'Fireworks Artisan', a deliberate thematic parallel to the song title 'Spark' (ヒバナ).
In Asian English-language versions of maimai, the song's title is romanized as HIBANA rather than the direct Hepburn Hibana.
The song was temporarily removed from the Chinese version of maimai DX (舞萌DX 2021) but restored with the 舞萌DX 2022 update, making it currently available in all regions.
Beyond maimai, ヒバナ appears in CHUNITHM CRYSTAL (where it later received an ULTIMA chart in CHUNITHM SUN) and ONGEKI PLUS (where it received a LUNATIC chart in ONGEKI bright MEMORY).
The MASTER chart by 緑風犬三郎 (Happy) is known for its heavy Slide-note density (138 slides out of 671 total notes), giving it a distinctive flowing pattern feel.
In maimai FiNALE's initial release, the Re:Master chart was available from day one, not added as a later update.
The arrangement by Rockwell gives the track a polished rock-electronic hybrid sound distinct from some of DECO*27's more purely electronic VOCALOID works.
