Full Quote by Ado
“Hibana” – I originally had an idea of naming this tour “Spark.”
To start a revolution can also be expressed as “ Spark a Revolution,” and the word “spark” is also often used in contexts like “light a fire,” “start a fire” and “provoke something.”
If my 1st world tour was my “Wish,” my next step is to light a fire in the world as someone from Japan. Hot as a spark of fire, even if it’s small, I want to be the inspiration to start something big. “Hibana” is a Japanese word for “Spark.” I want to bring my Japanese heritage on the road with me so I named this tour “Hibana,” in Japanese.
I hope to show everyone around the world my growth since the “Wish” tour and bring you the best live performance.
