I'm utterly obsessed with this song and have probably watched 20 reaction videos for it. Its always fun to see other people hear it fir the first time, but I think this was my favorite. I'm a naturally reserved person so even though I connect with certain songs I'm not as effusive in my expression. Your calm demeanor, small smiles and overall tone just really vibes with me. Definitely going to check out some other videos on the channel.

Lovely!! 👌 For a great contemporary and relevant rock banger try their 'Influencer' MV. Song is 🔥 and wicked location too 👌💪🤘🤘🤘

Punk? The Maids just do Awesome 😁 My favourite band. Now if you want punk in the original rebellious meaning...but fresh...it's got to be Otoboke Beaver with 'Don't Light My Fire'. Apparently their response to The Doors classic...crazy and FUN...I promise you'll be smiling 😁👌🔥

Great reaction! I really love this band, it is part of my personal Top 5. My No. 1 still is Nightwish. Did you ever react to them? Normally it is recommended to start with Ghost Love Score (Wacken 2013) because it shows the versatility of the leadsinger best, but if you like heavy stuff and a female leadsinger at full power listen to Nightwish "Yours is an empty hope" (Wembley 2015): ruclips.net/video/GAMMYicjq-Y/видео.html. And yes, it is the female leadsinger who growls there. Floor Jansen is one of the best and most versatile singers of todays; she can sing all from opera to death metal growls and all between. Other heavy songs of Nightwish are Romanticide and Ghost River (both Wacken 2013). And the most heavy one - it has never been played live - Master Passion Greed.

Right now, these ladies for metal and Band-Maid for rock are my one two punch coming out of Japan

No, you are wrong. Band Maid is its own genre!

Band maid does punk and pop-punk, metal, classic rock, speed metal etc. We've just been saying it's just Band Maid. They also have songs that include classic Japanese instruments. ("Gioncho" ruclips.net/video/umSt7oMUMcs/видео.htmlsi=Drwk9ufJsbZRbHkm). For a good pop punk sound check out "Alone" ruclips.net/video/vrlBwTolI_g/видео.htmlsi=-QpUfifduAlpmxhe Seiki's natural speaking voice is kind of low and sultry sounding.

I would sell a kidney to take drumming daughter to see Band-Maid and The Warning playing together. Not sure if either will ever tour here.

That last scene: they wanted you to see the set. They really liked the set, they were proud of it, the greenery, and the allusions to their past, they wanted to share it. Band-Maid has always been about serving the song. During their shows they make sure that everyone gets their time in the spotlight, but still, the song is always king, and none of them tries to make the song about their solo. For better or worse men make decisions by vying for leadership. Women however, make decisions by consensus, and in Band-Maid's case that methodology works for them. Not to say that the members of Band-Maid don't have strong personalities and don't have contentions, but they have figured out how write and perform their music in a way that serves them all. And we are all the better for it.

What do you mean? Since the beginning of their career, pop/punk rock has been the basis of their music, just look at songs like "Dice", "Alone", "Choose Me", "Glory", "Secret My Lips", etc etc. Don't let all those who say Band-Maid is a metal band mislead you.😎

Band-Maid can do it all....and usually does in one song.

"punk"????? You have no idea what you're talking about obviously

This song is unusual because it was co-written with Mikey-chan of Incubus. If I heard correctly he wrote the solo, delivered in the Kanami fashion of adding to and not overpowering the song.

Love it ❤

MISA MISA MISA!!!!!

One of the smartest reactors, calmly describing why everyone loves Band Maid ❤ “Bestie” is a cool collab; however, “Blooming” is their skank beat masterpiece

Great to see you... To me Band-Maid is the best 👍👍🕊️🇺🇸

ok you are good reactor ...very good. Not overhyped, not hyper-enthusiastic ... just on point. Pleasantly surprised, you get musical highlights and solutions instead of just screaming to get likes. Keep it up, there are only a few reactors of that positive and unencumbered style.... And a little more relaxed, you know what you're doing

Thank you

Check out, Hate? Band Maid.

MISA is a Ninja maid! A different look...🥰

[Bestie, co-written by Michael Einziger of Incubus.] MISA's playing and bass tone are setting new standards... and Akane's drumming is so in-the-pocket and distinguishable... and Kanami's solo is Daydreaming masterful! The recording and mix are as enjoyable as the song and beautiful MV! Miku’s English lyrics (I bet with Saiki and Mikey-chan's influence) are heartfelt. "I can't look into your eyes." Is Band-Maid a band of fashion-forward, trend-setting Besties? 💞 Thx, Mikey & Band-Maid! FYI - The Maids just released a "Making of Bestie" on their websites where they explain the song and look of their awesome MV. Thx, VaCro!

Thanks for the reaction. Really love your voice.

This was a collaboration with Mike Einziger of Incubus, who they met on tour in the US and became friends with. This is why the lyrics are all in English and they are not wearing their normal maid outfits. Mike played with them on their first live performance of this song during the opening act (which was Band-Maid) during Incubus's tour of Japan. You can find fan footage of that performance. The style of this song is not quite 100% Band-Maid -- similar to "The Dragon Cries", another collaboration. That's not a critique of the song as music, just an observation. Of course, the musicianship is 100% Band-Maid -- that never changes.

Another great reaction and breakdown. Great to hear a reactor genuinely enjoying the music and pointing out and explaining why. Keep on rocking with the Maids...looking forward to it. PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘

Just a gorgeous song and video. Music by Mike Einziger of Incubus, and Band-Maid. Arrangement by Band-Maid.

For fans who love Band Maid but can’t explain why, they can just steal your words. Not steal…”borrow” sounds better. With credit given, of course 😊

Hey Vacancy it’s me Roger. I lost my channel requesting the Maids too much(true story) anyways glad to see you back with the Maids! 🍺🥴

I want to thank you for a beautiful reaction. As a musician of 56 plus years, it is so hard to find a good reaction channel that can actually articulate what they hear in the music. I don't know if you studied music theory, but it seems like it. I have been following Band-Maid since 2014 and I believe Kanami Tono is one of the best writers and composers in music today. As one musician to another very impressed with your comments and reaction. Band-Maid Forever ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🕊️🇺🇸

They _are_ amazing _players_ . They are also amazing musicians and composers. In addition to their undeniably technical and complex compositions they also have _taste_ . "Bestie" is not my favorite song... but every close listen brings it closer to being placed in my _masterpiece_ category. Thanks for the reaction!

When they started a decade ago they pretty much were a pop-punk band. You will still hear a lot of punk elements in their music today. Great review thank you.

Great reaction and thank you for supporting the Maids

Yes! I’d really love to see BandMaid get rid of the uniforms. They don’t need them anymore.

Great reaction VC,the further you go down the pigeon hole of Band Maid,you realise they are genius songwriters,the 1st and second verse always have a difference,they change key at will in a lot of songs, a good example of this is,,Secret My Lips mv,oh and its a banger,oh and has a surprise in there,,were you think WHAT did that really happen,enjoy,,you have my sub thankyou.

Like you said..Kanami’s guitar playin’ always serve the song at first. This is one thing what I love about that wonderful musician. Love it!

A lot of their earlier music was based on the favourite western rock and grunge bands which resulted in their modern take on a rocky pop punk sound. Great reaction- thanks. As long you react to official Band-Maid videos from their site you shouldn't get any strikes. The band members watch reactions to their songs on youtube.

That was an absolute excellent review. You have a very nice way to give insightful views without blabla. And I like watching a reactor with an eye and ear for details and knows what he’s talking about. Thanks for this. I hope to see more Band-Maid on your channel, because B-M is a phenomenal universe of sounds. I would like to see a review of Blooming MV by B-M from you.

Band Maid! 🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🍺😁

Thank you for your reaction, analysis, and insights. It does help me understand the song and why it appeals so much to me. In my opinion, MISA and Akane are one of the most intuitively brilliant, "rhythm sections" in rock and roll. Kanami always finds a way to have her solo riff fit perfectly into the feel of the song.

Great reaction, thanks.

Nice one. Love a more technical reaction. They’re great players, but there are a lot of more technically advanced bands. What makes them stand out is their writing. It comes down to creativity and good taste. Their rhythm guitarist didn’t even play guitar when they started, had to learn on the job, and they made great music the whole time. That two note solo section is a good reminder that technique only matters so much.

Love the drumming the first time I heard the song. It drives the song so well without overpowering it. They are a great set of musicians.

A collab with Mike Einziger of Incubus. I Think it is a song from Miku to the other band members

Check out Blooming. Good riff bookends...amongst other things

Band-Maid always does what needs to be...nothing more and nothing less. My favorite Saiki vocal part is that one short staccato delivery. "Manners" (music video recommended) is another song that is not over complicated, yet delivers big. Good Stuff VC!

Some of their early stuff reminded me of skater punk i used to listen to as a kid. That was before they started writing their own stuff

That was one of the best reactions to this song I have heard. You bring a lot of musical insights!
