Okay, I said I was going to complain about Hibiki's final form when it showed up. Here we go.
Before that, I want to start with Kurenai as a comparison. Despite a few minor complaints, I ultimately like Kurenai for what it can do and what it represents. I like how Hibiki unlocks it by training hard, which reflects the show's moral. I like how it's an organic progression from the default form in both aesthetic and fighting style, which reflects the show's theme of nature. I like how it can make goddamn self-exploding Ongekikos!
Compared to that, Armed is a disappointment. It's one of my least favorite final forms and I feel like it belongs in a different show. I don't like how it screws up Kurenai's design by making it heavier when they could have used a different base and color to distinguish it. I don't like how it requires a special weapon. I don't like how it makes the mouthplate even more impractical since Armed Saber is voice-activated. I don't like how it's a technological upgrade when Oni and Makamou are supposed to be forces of nature with only a little assistance from technology. It doesn't make much sense to me, even the training part for using Armed Saber since Hibiki doesn't seem much stronger, physically, after becoming Armed. It's just so meh.
Anyway, yeah, Fuse Akira, the singer of Shounen Yo, is Kogure, as Androzani84 pointed out. If you think he
looks
familiar, I'm not sure where, since it's his voice that was the major clue to his identity.
