- Well, I was going to release these one song at a time....but basically I think it's already taking too long and I kind of want to get on to the next one! So, here are 5 songs. Manners (which I missed last time, whoops) HGK, Sayonakidori (or Nightingale), Why Why Why, and Chemical Reaction!! Plus, you get to see more of the drawing.
Ryan: "I think the next song is going to be slow" Me: 😆😂🤣
😂 same. I did snicker a little when he said that.
Mincho: Hold my cakes
WOW! What a treat... 30 mins of Band-Maid from Ryan Mear... NICE!
I know right! Yeah you blow through material faster but not to many people give you this long of a sit down to just jam and watch them fall in love with a large chunk of an album. Preciate you Mr. Mear!
Miku's battle cries on this album are so epic!
"Never had so many freakin hooks going through my brain" -- Sums up about everything!
And here I was thinking about going to bed.... Instead, 30 minutes of Hard Rocking Excellence!
Domo Arigato Mr. Mear 🤘
I pretty much just listened along with you on this one!
Sayonakidori is a fantastic song... and the first time Miku got a full guitar solo of her own.
Groove rock is much older than most people listening to this video. Groove, funk and soul infused rock has been around since the late sixties. And this is exactly what Manners is, a low down dirty groove. Just as nasty as anything I have ever heard. But with that Band Maid touch. Thank you Kanami. You are the best.
I wish they would release a live CHEMICAL REACTION. It has to be the total BOMB in concert.
Fun fact: Akane didn't have a cowbell when Kanami handed her the demo to Chemical Reaction, so asked if she could use something else instead. Kanami tho was insistent: more cowbell! :)
Why Why Why might be my favorite just to jam to. Just the style of it lends itself to just being something you can just rock to. Until you listen closer of course and find out everything they're doing.
Can't wait for your next one! Giovanni, Honkai and Blackhole! Into the rabbit hole you will go! Awesome react ryan and your drawings are spot on! Saving Kanamincho for last!❤❤🔥🔥🤘🤘👍😉
The holy trio for me on the album. :D
I call H.G.K. as Flight of the Rock Bumblebee🐝🐝🐝
UW is a full of my fav songs! I am listening to UW everyday during my jogging🏃🎵😊
HGK: more hooks than a Canadian fishing shop! Syonakidori: the perfect blend of pop and hard rock. Why why why: why not?! Chemical Reaction is what's happening in my mashed brain trying to hear all that's going on! Cow bell makes everything good.
LOL
Thank you for your wonderful reaction.
As they actually said in the interview, this album presents the past and future of BAND-MAID.
Interestingly, I think the vocal melody of "Nightingale" is probably the easiest for the average Japanese to accept.
They can incorporate everything into their songs and transform it into their style.
In "giovanni", it can be a progressive BAND-MAID.
i was the same listening to this aboum
bursting out with wtf. .and oh shit..
they jus did that?
really?
etc.
the way the sonics comie together to produce moments of unique harmony
just is so rare.
this is a masterpiece of album with so much depth and originality.
been listening since january
and still finding new sequences and embeshments
stunning stuff here
and the mix is fire
Love the cowbell and the fat, heavy bass riff Misa is laying down on Chemical Reaction. I need to hear this song live in front of a crowd. It will be a monster!
In a very big arena!
Saiki just delivers such a soulful, kickass rock vocals on Manners, wow, and done with a nonchalant confidence. Total maturity and growth all around. That's a terrifying thought when one considers how good they were even at the start of the band's career!
I love Manners. Thank you for reacting to this video.
Told you, this is a monster album.
Can't wait to see them live after the COVID bullsh!t.
That lush midtempo section of Why Why Why has always kinda reminded me of Deftones. Great reactions as usual sir. And the most ridiculous thing is how many great songs you STILL have yet to hear.
Interesting. It reminds me of 311 for some reason.
Velvet Revolver here.
tries to shut the door a second time and fails "what the F#%*$ was that ! ?" LOL i feel ya brother
LOL
Why Why Why is such a great song. Chemical Reaction is a pure stadium hard rock headbanger. The next song in the standard CD order, Giovanni, is IMO pure genius that would make Mike Patton proud. I’m not sure there is a 3 song sequence in all my years of rock listening that makes me happier lol.
Besides, Giovanni broke the Dicodec boys lol.
Giovanni also is the song that stopped brain.exe of metalhead's perspective.
It's about time Japanese women stepped out of the shadows and transformed the scene...the West had its day but now Asia is coming on strong with these amazing girls, Dimash, etc.
I'm way too late again, but I finally want to thank you for your B-M reactions. What you say, the text overlays, your facial expressions, all reflect exactly what I and probably every Maidiac thinks and experiences when listening to B-M. We just love their music. "Unseen World" for me is mind-boggling, terrific, beautiful, crazy, a masterpiece in the truest sense. Hitting so many sweet spots matching my taste and what i like about music, it's crazy.
You're welcome😄
@@RyanMear Great drawing by the way, a few mistakes, but you mentioned that already. I'm curious about the finished picture.
Doesn't everything always starts with the eyes 👀 Sweet drawing, Got Skilz 😊
I'm just happy for you that you are working your way through the album so you can just toss it on whenever (or like me, a LOT). It's just brilliant stuff. The art work is killer too by the way, I'm enjoying watching it all come together! I remember being the same way when I first discovered them years ago.. "This song is my favorite.. no, this one is, no...THIS one is. Wait... what's this? I LOVE this" :-) And in case you didn't pick up on it, that's Miku on lead vocals on Sayonakidori (Nightingale) which is why it seems 'different'.
Sayonakidori is a quirky one. I always used to think Time was my favorite Miku song that could never change, but I was wrong.
THIS has grown on me big time with the guitar tune that's reminiscent of some middle eastern music and Akane's drum spicing up the song, etc. Love it 💖🤎💥
A literal FZCK TON to unpack here. :)
Yes, that's Miku singing on Sayonakidori. She has had lead songs on just about every album prior to Conqueror (which didn't have a Miku song) so they brought it back for UW. Miku also plays the solo on the song as well. Absolutely GORGEOUS song. She's played it 2x live now with mixed success. Its a difficult song for her play and sing especially the third verse with the fast, long, high notes. So proud of pigeon though. This is easily THE HIDDEN GEM on the album...especially Kanami's solo in the coda...easily one of my favorites from her.
HGK I have a love/hate relationship with. I hate the way it starts and EVERY. TIME. it comes on I'm like, ugh... this song. Then it gets to the chorus I am sitting there banging my head grooving along... and MISA's bass throughout saves it for me with the icing on the cake being "You're like a rockstarrrrrrrrrrr" Great song but my least favorite on the album.
LOL... why why why... that is EXACTLY the reaction I expected from you! Also the same reaction I had first time hearing it! This song is definitely one of my Top 3 songs from the album. Just a pure, IN YOUR FACE, rock song that comes out swinging and never lets up. LOVE LOVE LOVE this song. Akane's bass kicks and MISA's bass are RELENTLESS on this song and I FUCKIN" LOVE IT and Miku's shouts at the beginning and end are THE PERFECT bookends for this song. GOD I LOVE THIS SONG!
Chemical Reaction - clearly Mincho and MISA were listening to some 80s/90s stadium rock when they composed this. MISA had a heavy hand in this composition as well as Kanami. I mean its like what if Band-Maid decided they wanted to sound like Motley Crue... and here you go.. Chemical Reaction. Akane's drums just scream Tommy Lee to be but without all the creepiness associated with Lee. THIS. THIS SONG. is the one I want to see live in a 10,000+ capacity arena.
Great work and the drawing is coming along nicely!
The really sad thing is that this album was meant to be played at their debut at Nippon Budokan. Their first arena okyu-ji. When I first heard the album all I could think of was HOW FUCKING EPIC this would all sound in an arena.... and then the world stopped.
Bittersweet feelings.... bittersweet my dude.
Well said man!
Nice, thank you, Brian
@@Space_Ranger Scandal reference in your user name? 😎
@@RyanMear dude, thank you for sharing your time with us! 😎
@@cembor Lol no I'm too old lol. It's an old Comic book character like Flash Gordon or Buck Rodgers. Also it's what Buzz Light-year is in Toy Story.
I love every song on this album. And I wish I had your drawing skills… I would draw a pic of Misa with her hair covering her face with one glowing eye showing … looking all creepy like the ghost Ju On from The Grudge. Then have some warning message on it saying “Beware: the music follows you…..”. But alas, I don’t have that skill… Oh well. Lol. 🤟🏻
Thank you.... im think she could be a Batman BAND- MAID equivalent LOL
No one ever notices it's Miku on Syonakidori on the first listen. She doesn't even sound anything like Saiki. The poor pigeon. :(
All in all, this album is one of the greatest rock albums start to finish that I've heard. They're all great music and I don't have a track on it that I consider skipping. Still haven't gotten to my favorite songs yet, but they're coming up.
Best hard rock album the last 30 years.
Yeah weird they only notice at the middle of the song haha. When I first listen to this song I knew it for the first time
If you ever do an in depth analysis of their domination album your mind will be blown by this one too! These two songs clang and turn me on are so good! Not too many reactors react to these songs is beyond me!🤘🤘🔥🔥❤❤👍
"just thinking about seeing them in concert someday" That thought has crossed my mind so many times since last March 11th. And the same with Lovebites. I hadn't listened to any new heavy rock or metal music for a long time, until all of these Japanese ladies came along. :)
Yeah, I'm hoping they come to Indy the next time they come to the US. They have a lot of fans here! And, Yes, that's Miku singing lead on Syonakidori.
I’m from Indy too!
wauuw Chemical Reaction,, great song great album.. thanks to reacted sair
It's just fuckin' ridiculous how many different things they pack into their songs. I can listen to my Band-Maid-only playlist for days and not even get slightly bored! So much to analyze with every single instrument and then you turn your attention back to the full song and just get absolutely flattened by the whole package, hahaha!
And every time I think about how young they are.... Jesus, I'm SO excited what they're gonna evolve into. I would call them diamonds in the rough, but I can't. They're diamonds already, what are they gonna become!?
Alright, I'm off to your new Blooming and Dice reaction, very excited, even MORE GREAT FUCKIN' SONGS, what the hell
The only thing divisive about Unseen World is the arguments that break out over which song is the best.
Why can it be so much fun watching you react Ryan? Maybe it's great hearing a musician respect others' talent while also managing to remind us of how we felt when we first heard the album. Genuine enjoyment.
I think the Maids knew that they weren't going to please everyone with this album - a main reason why they purposefully pitched the song list as a bridge between where they came from and the music they wanted to pursue.
I didn't say much on this one...text, I realized upon watching it again. I just enjoyed it
I have the same reaction when i heard the album then on repeat for the rest of the week. Yes thats miku's song sayonakidori shes doing the first lead part after the second chorus. Man great reaction and bandmaid keeps you surprising. Making u smile and enjoying the musicallality.
Sayonakidori: when you realize it's all Miku singing... She performed it great at the Online Okyu-ji. Sang and played very well, and hit the high note too. Kanami wanted to write her a solo that she could play live, so she wrote a nice chord based solo for her.
I believe that Miku did not record her parts for this album due to time (I think it was this one) and Kanami played and recorded all her parts, but Miku needed to learn to play it all for the live shows.
7:25 "I have a feeling it's gonna be, ah, slow and calm."
Not even Nostradamus could predict what BAND-MAID are going to do next. Fun, sure, but ultimately futile to try. ;-)
Shit! I was already late to bed, and my dog started to hate me an hour ago. Then you release a 30 min reaction! I need another beer!
I didn't even talk very much in it, sorry! LOL
Whether this album is the direction they want to go in or just a one off album, I've enjoyed their more progressive experiment on Unseen World. I don't see the need for the decisiveness. I could understand if it wasn't up to par, but if id known this was the direction they were going, it would've far surpassed any hopes and expectations I could have had.
Considering what they’ve repeatedly stated about the 2 part structure- Progress representing their current evolved self while Roots as an ode to their past and where they originated from, I actually feel UW is just the held back version of the progressive direction they’re planning to go.
The fact that they felt the need to dedicated half an album to cushion the longtime fans makes me absolutely hyped for what’s to come.
That said, I don’t think they’re necessarily going heavy, just more technical whether it’s metal, bluesy or pop. Pretty sure their catalogue would remain as diverse as now but much more layered and refined.
I personally am looking forward to either a metalcore track or lofi. Kanami did mention listening to lofi while writing Giovanni and about a certain track with blast beats that she wasn’t able to finish in time for UW. So yeah, their next album will likely be the most interesting one of them all.
@@Dtagcity yeah I saw that interview and I pretty much agree with everything you've said. Honestly I kind of figured that would be the direction they would go and I'm all for it.
That drawing Ryan, I say next album cover for Band Maid, the best rock band on the planet as we speak.
I always thought "Chemical Reaction" would be the perfect single for western rock radios (... if such a thing still exist).
It is a great song for that... but American radio is notoriously ignorant
American “rock” radio mostly plays the same 100 classic rock tunes over and over and over and over….
Yeah, ClearChannel, may their souls be tortured in hell for eternity.
@@RyanMear yeah when even looking at pop radio the fact that they refuse to play music that is topping the US billboards without radio play just because they sing in Korean is crazy to me. So i have no hope of BAND MAID ever being on the radio.
@@SteveBalderrama Spanish rock radio RockFM works in a week loop. After a week then you can ignore it, it´s always the same.
PD: They are also a little bit elitists.
I don't know.... I think Chemical Reaction needs more cowbell.... 😉
More cowbell!!!! 😂🤣😂 LMFAO
The cowbell was the last thing needed to make the B-M catalogue absolutely perfect, although too much can never be enough!
You can never have too much 🐮🔔
Fucking Awesome!

- Songs
- Reaction
Keep 'em coming my dude. 🤟🏻
As the years go by, you can tell the main influences in the band from each member:
Saiki: the melodic one
Miku: the indie one
Misa: the hard rocker
Akane: the jazzy one
Kanami: well, she's the whole package...
After listening to this and thinking a bit i wonder if one of the thing that make them so great is that even if you took out the vocal line the music seems like it would still be a great instrumental i would still listen to and like. Though the vocal line just makes it even better :). Love your vids, the smile on your face ads a big smile here too. Keep it up and that's a great drawing.
Sayonakidori is sung by Miku.
Beautiful voice!
"Sayonakidori" and "Rock in me" (World Domination) are songs with MIKU as lead singer alone... Love these songs, so much energy, even though i love SAIKI of course :)
@@Slippy6582 Don't forget about TIME, Beauty and the Beast, Big Dad and Summer Drive.
And just think Miku asked Kanami to make her part more challenging and harder that's when Mincho smiled and said ok.
It's a great song, but those high notes towards the end are impossible for Miku to sing live. She's come up way short in their last two online concerts. I felt really bad for her. I hope they'll let her dial them back a bit in the future.
@@billb.5183 She tried though she works so hard just to keep up with everyone else .
Hey, I can write comments again. Good to see you doing more Band Maid. Good job on your drawing. For some reason for several days I couldn't post comments on RUclips and I have no idea why. Now, miraculously, I can. I tried to put something on another one of your reactions but was thwarted. If you can ever find it do HONEY (bonus cut) on the Domination album. It's a cover but great.
While I LOVE all those songs, my favorite out of the group is Chemical Romance, it was the first song on the album that drew me in... instant connection (maybe the cowbell). Awesome reaction as well as fantastic drawing!!!! Thanks! OK, I had to add another thought :)... I'm old, listened to MANY albums from MANY bands, I can't think of any album that I thoroughly enjoyed every song. Unseen World is that album (as well as every BAND-MAID album), songs are different but a common them and I it!!
I mean if someone isn’t head banging to Chemical Reaction there is no possible way they are a rock or metal fan.
@@SteveBalderrama Exactly!!
As someone who discovered them last spring. I think this album is amazing. The criticism I've seen seems to be coming from some of the long time fans. Who really aren't in to the "heavier/busier" songs. I guess they're just looking for that more traditional hard/classic rock sound.
Well sucks to be those folks. Luckily I enjoy both almost equally.
Then half the time these songs will grow on those fans, too. I just play their songs (around 80?) on shuffles and chill out.
same people who didn't like Conqueror cos t was too slow, they live in the world of JBI and WD
They can just chill with what they already got, let us prog fans get ourselves pampered for a few albums too ;)
The rest can wait in line for their turn. An album a year is pretty much the best waiting time you can ask for in the entire music industry.
Throw too many tantrums and we might end up pissing them off. Then it’d be too late to even lick each other’s wounds once they join the trap and mumble rap gang 🤣
@@DavidMISAMISAMISACook man its always something lol i remember even with WD and JBI some people were like "all their songs sound the same". Also i remember that their was a guy who REALLY hated Miku and would spam like every BAND MAID video.
I can't believe people are divisive on this album.
It's one of the best full albums front to back I've ever heard.
What people are divisive??? Most of the fans love the album and consider it one of the BM's best.
I read something about Conqueror and got them confused, is all
@@RyanMear Conqueror is a divisive album and I understand why. I really like it but it think is BM less good album.
@@spupydo yeah theres a small crowd that prefers the "old sound"
@@cius2112 that is exactly why this album has older style songs as well. The maids made it pretty clear about that. They made an album for everyone and they succeded.
I listen to unseen world in my car every day; it is hard to not speed😃
I would love if Chemical Reaction was on Wolf Man Jack's radio😎
Love ur sketches, esp. MISA’s….WOW she has such unique features that make her immediately recognizable…beautiful
This whole album is on repeat when I'm in the Gym...!
yes thats miku signing syonakidori
That was great Ryan, thanks.
Listening to this reaction helped me with Sayonakidori. I realise I don't love the vocal intro to it and I think Miku tried to go too high in the end - which is a shame cos her mid-tones are so great. Overall its actually a far better song that I thought it was.
Niiiice!. What a great 30 minutes. Sayonakidori is a song sung by Miku. It's something traditional (except in the album Conqueror) that she has one vocalist song. The rest are Time and Rock in Me, both very interesting.
Uhhh the next one is giovanni can't wait for that
Utter genius Giovanni is. - Yoda
Such a joy to watch😊
The only division I've heard about this album is whether it's the best rock album released in the last ten years or if it's been longer.
Like that statement "pop encased in instrumental f'ing gold." Aptly stated, and really enjoying your reaction vids.
You’re a better father than me lol. I usually lose my shit when my son interrupts me while listening to band maid :p
I try to make these things when the wife and kid are occupied. Inevitably I end up editing and stuff when we're ask around. Same with recording music...I can't do it when anyone is home LOL (vocals anyway) I feel like I'm bothering them, although they don't complain😆😆
just woke up here in UK, pissed off cos i i've missed your reaction by hrs (again). Then i thought Why am pissed off, it's Ryan doing B-M. Now i'm instantly happy.🙂
I had to wait until I finished work to rush home to this Axe and Wave, then I saw Chase as well GREAT DAY and a Great way to take my mind of another certain Band
Thanks, guys! It's always nice to see the two of you interacting in the comments....friggin' goofballs
@@DavidMISAMISAMISACook Yep i just managed to stay awake for Wave but Ryan's reaction came too late. Even replies i found from you 2hrs ago haven't popped up in my notifications. Now that does piss me off :(
@@RyanMear Goofballs we may be but Loveable Goofballs
Indeed!
I think Chemical Reaction was written as a crowd reaction song. Can you imagine the roof of Shubuya rising as the whole crowd yells C H E M I C A L R E A C T I O N
Ok, on Sayonakidori, am I the only one who gets some Rob Thomas vibes in the verse? I love that Miku gets her own song on this album plus all of her other moments they've maid a point to feature her throughout the album.
“Maid” a point ;)
@@SteveBalderrama lol I didn't even notice that to be honest. Apparently I type Band-Maid often enough it just auto corrects to Maid lol. I'm cool with it.
I agree though I love how great Miku is on this album.
Yeeees!! 🙌
wwo the art.. the way your doing it with the zomibes
reminds me SO much of dir en grey ion the second half of there DIFFERENT SENSE PV
its bascially the same concept so cool
The most unassuming band in the world.
Can't wait until you release your reaction to Giovanni.
Maybe my favorite on the album.
Sayonakidori is my favorite track on UW, Miku did amazing and hopefully she'll get better at not worrying while playing it live :D
I Love Sayonakidori 💖
When this album was released, i was like : oh my favourite band got new music!
Then… wtf just happened…
Other music became so hard to listen to after the discovery of BM you know?
I haven’t enjoyed a first play through of an album as much as I have this one since, oh hell, 2112? It’s so good. The next song, then the song after that… The energy just doesn’t let up. I listen to it quite often. The only other whole album to make my workout play list is “Endless Forms Most Beautiful.”
I have to say, in “Chemical Reaction” the riff after the pinched harmonic did strange things to my mind’s eye. I saw Kanami, MISA, and Akane in cheap sunglasses and long fake beards.
Weird huh?
Wow, band maid really far to the future!
Lmao, joke aside, I'm pretty much agree with you
dude... My first play through took 3 me three times before I even understood WHAT THE FZCK was going on. LOL. The literal first listen I was just on total sensory overload.... and I chalk that entirely up to No God on the first listen and the hard 180* it takes. I was giggling out loud and crying at the same time! LOOOOL.
@@cembor I totally understand. I played it through three times also. Then I added it to the workout playlist. I was 50 lbs heavier when UW was released. 🤘
@@ricklarsen7189 damn dude! Congrats!
There's a slow song in the UNSEEN WORLD? I must have missed it... lol nope. And I am not sure if you caught it or not but Syonakidori is sang by Miku. For most bands. Chemical Reaction would be the title of the album instead of sitting at the end of the album. For me this is a almost perfect album.
Chemical Reaction..Bon Jovi vibes anyone? Atleast that main riff and parts of the verse anyway.
For sure!
I'm the ghost of Christmas future telling you if you loved that foot stomper of a Misa codeveloped song "Chemical Reaction", you should also check out their other foot stomper from Domination "Fate".
Yes, that is Miku singing ;)
UW is more Metal and Progressive compared to the earlier albums. If this is their direction I am very happy about it, been a prog fan for most of my life.
Ryan (about time I let slip "dear" and "mate" as they sound a bit too obvious!)!
My Dragon will love you if she sees the Moomin-like dogs on your T-shirt!
Syonakidori must be Miku's best song so far!
For all the speedy and sometimes tense music it is a sad song, with her mentioning a loved one who abandoned her after stealing her heart. She sings as if she wanted to throw everything to the winds and run and run away from pain.
When you understand Japanese it becomes heart-wrenching, which might not sound obvious to non speakers! Haunting!
Take good care of yourself (ves)!
That song has become one of my favorites. It used to be a "skipper"....gasp!
Okay. The drawing: Quick, name which direction Lincoln is facing on a penny. You've seen a penny a bazillion times, right? Still, it's a tough question to answer. I've seen the picture you are drawing a LOT, but I couldn't have told you to save my life what order the MAIDS appear. In a previous video, you began drawing an eye. Within SECONDS I knew it was Saiki. I'm serious. Mere SECONDS (or maybe it's "Mear seconds"....ugh...) Anywhens, I had a thought during "Chemical Reaction". I'd love to see that LIVE...as the opening song. Talk about an ENTRANCE! I just don't know if the building would still be standing after it. And "Why, Why, Why" just blows me right...the phuch...away. Thanks Ryan!!
Ha! Thanks, Jeremy!
The band maid rabbit hole..... don't even need it pill to get small 🤣🤣 they drag you down it!!!!❤❤❤❤🍌🦧🦧🍌🙏
I guess we all know why Jimmy Page was at one of their concerts and was blown away by Akane's drumming so much he went backstage to meet and get a photo with her!😉😀😁❤🔥❤🔥
H-G-K is Best song this album.
絵上手ですね！👍
Akane...."stays in the pocket"...excellent analogy.
a pocket Akane for everyone wouldn't that be nice?
Love Miku's song, Syonakidori, she is a great singer in her own right.
Ryan, you made so many good observations here that I can't comment of all of them. Great video. Thanks.
edit: I hope this prediction doesn't come true, but this album might be BAND-MAID's magnum opus. It's so good from start to finish.
Just enjoy an hour of trio reaction: Chase -> Axe -> Wave before my sleep yesterday. And now I am having my breakfast with the Ryan react to 2nd act of unseen world album (I categorized this songs as the 2nd act of the album). B-M reactions/reviews overloaded. So good.
May be you are shocked/impress on your first listen, but I prefer you to read the lyrics when you listen again.
Axe deserves more subscribers, quality content and a decent bloke to boot 🤘🤘
On Chemical Reaction..... MORE COWBELL!
Ryan!
Chemical Reaction could easily become a regular feature at live concerts, do you think not?I can imagine all these burly German fans punching n the air and stomping the floor to shreds! The Japanese? They will show an orchestrated support like you have never seen! The French? They will simply gaze at them in love! The Americans? They will fight each other to get nearer like the Brits, and the Irish! And the Viking! The Spanish? Wives will come with daggers!
Lol
MISA MISA MISA! x 5
Ryan Mear ... thank you .
COW BELL!!!!!!!!
19:03 I don't know if you've heard of Vocaloid yet, but I'm pretty sure that beginning was inspired by their song Senbonzakura sung by Hatsune Miku - one of the vocaloids model. It's got a really cool cover by Wagaki Band.
There IS a live version of Chemical Reaction. You should add that to your reaction list.
I'm out of the loop on the divisive album bit. But although Unseen World isn't my personal favorite album of theirs ("Just Bring It" is for sentimental reasons as it brought so much of the rock sound I'd missed) I have to say Unseen World is one of those albums that belongs in any must have record collection. They obviously put a lot of work into it.
I love Chemical Reaction! When I first heard it, I got Nickelback vibes from it. Definitely a song that gets you pumped up!
Are you trying to make me not like it? LOL
Syonakidori is the most solid Miku song so far. It's got the feel of Rock In Me but heavier and more technical.
Love it but my favourite Miku's lead vocal song is Time. I just love the feeling she sings it with and the lyrics are great too.
Great job sir! Listening to the UNSEEN WORLD is coming to an end and you need to think about what to do next. BAND-MAID has never done any covers other than their own songs. Their fantastic songs can only be enhanced by BAND-MAIKO. There are 6 covers and 1 original song on the BAND-MAIKO EP:
1. secret MAIKO lips :: cover of “secret My lips” (Official Music Video)
2. 虎 and 虎 | Tora and tora :: cover of “One and only”
3. YOLOSIOSU :: cover of “YOLO”
4. ansan :: cover of “anemone”
5. Akasimahen :: cover of “Awkward”
6. く く り ー み ん ぐ | screaming :: cover of “Screaming”
7. 町 園 町 | Gion-cho :: original song (Official Music Video)
Make sure you hear the original songs first. My favorite is the cover of “Screaming”.
I have to correct myself. I forgot that "Honey" (bonus track on World Domination) is a cover of a song by the Japanese band MUCC, for their 20th anniversary tribute album.
