I'm sure somebody will be along with the full history, but in a nutshell Miku (rhythm guitar and vocals) was a maid cafe worker who liked rock, who thought it would be interesting to have a band who looked like maid cafe maids, but played hard rock - creating what she calls "the gap" between what you expect and the reality of how they sound. In their early days their outfits were all very similar, but they've become personalised over time. As for hardest songs, probably Moratorium, Puzzle, and Clang. They aren't a metal band, so you won't get an extreme metal sound from them. What you will get is a distinctive fullness to their sound, that's kind of the Band-Maid trademark.
How the hell you can react when you make more noise than the video you're supposed to be reacting to? I get it that the reaction is supposed to be the focus here but you guys miss half the shit you should be reacting TO.
I wouldn't say they get heavy but they do go full on hard rock. Check them out live. They kick ass. They will make you feel inadequate as musicians. Band Maid _ Play live ruclips.net/video/YeiIju_t1D8/видео.html Band maid - Take Me Higher live ruclips.net/video/vFyYiPDZzdw/видео.html
Band Maid is at such a high level of compositional ability (thanks to Kanami to exist ..) If we say that they resemble or contribute to the generic J-rock it almost feels like an offense ... they belong only to themselves. a separate class.
If you haven't done so already, you definitely need to check out more jrock. In general there is just a lot of rock influence in Japanese music. Gackt and Mucc are two bands I definitely recommend, also LiSA and ONE OK ROCK.
As a lot of people have said. To get a feel for this band and their talent and their true sound you have to watch their live performances. I actually prefer their live performances to their studio versions in most cases. As for the anime thing, I feeel their music is some way off of most anime tracks (at least that I'm familiar with), especially live. Have a fun ride listening to their stuff because you guys are in for a treat ;)
Wow i just realised throughout the video that you guys actually have never checked out Band Maid. Considering your thirst for harder songs and shreds you should definitely check out these MVs: - the non-fiction days - DICE - YOLO - Don’t you tell ME My fav song (Puzzle) doesn’t come with a MV. But also given the fact that this is your first time listening to Band Maid, I should probably also recommend you - DOLL$BOXX with „Take My Chance“ or „Monopoly“ - PassCode with „MISS UNLIMITED“, „Taking you out“, „Tonight“ or „bite the bullet“ :D - also I guess you should know about LADYBABY already since „Nippon Manju“ went kinda viral too, nevertheless since they‘re 4 girls they don’t sound too shabby either, check out „bite me“ or „Riot Anthem“ if you haven‘t already ✌️
They actually did an ANIME song, 'Glory'. But you should have done the LIVE version. You need to do 'Play!' LIVE, 'Don't You Tell Me' LIVE and 'Take Me Higher' LIVE, as well as 'Puzzle' LIVE, 'Moratorium' LIVE and their instrumental 'On Set'. If you're going to do Music Videos try 'Thrill'. Or check out their April Fools persona BAND-MAIKO.
All female rock-punk bands are not a new thing in Japan. They have groups like Shonen Knife from the 80th. They are so long times on stages that... well, see yourself ruclips.net/video/ifsOob7KPcY/видео.html The singer is now 58 and still on stages
I'm soooo stoked you guys are checking out jrock now! If you're still taking recommendations, OLDCODEX is my absolute favorite, their songs Walk and Where'd They Go? are amazing.
Personally, my favorite Band-Maid song is "Secret My Lips" Music Video: ruclips.net/video/1Vuca7V-5Ec/видео.html Live: ruclips.net/video/SPgKG8MCDjA/видео.html
Also those very very good.. - ruclips.net/video/Ooz8C3b5KWU/видео.html (Pulmolight from Sapporo) ruclips.net/video/WN6cToVgT-w/видео.html (Vivid Undress from.. I don’t know where in Japan) ruclips.net/video/x9pd27PouMo/видео.html (Ling Tosite Sigure from Osaka.. it is a Beast in Japan) ruclips.net/video/8OM58AreiNI/видео.html (Sokoninaru from Osaka, I saw them live in Netherland) ruclips.net/video/u9qDEvusROk/видео.html (Co Shu Nie, from.. I don’t know where in Japan) Girl Rock Band Kakumei -the name of the drummer, Junna - ruclips.net/video/9k9txMouU34/видео.html
There is a wonderful selection of J-Rock, J-Metal, and J-Punk, and many all-female bands. Power metal: Lovebites "Shadowmaker" ruclips.net/video/k3wyUbfl6TY/видео.html Insane punk Otoboke Beaver "Don't Light My Fire" ruclips.net/video/fkWfFXnLpYg/видео.html Rock: Scandal "Masterpiece" ruclips.net/video/fkWfFXnLpYg/видео.html Then there is whole Alternative Idol scene where an idol style group performs some really hard music. Check out: Broken by the Scream "Sayonara Birthday" ruclips.net/video/Q8qOH-f6doM/видео.html And you should re-visit Babymetal. The latest stuff is amazing. And the usual warning, watch out for copyright strikes. The Japanese music companies are nuts.
Please go back to Band Maid again. I think they are the best hard rock band now aday. Check out LIVE version of "Dice", "Play", "Moratorium" or any song of them in LIVE version, they're all excellent.
They do pop-punk, heavy rock, prog-rock, blues-jazz fusion rock, rock-metal and instrumental etc, etc... you could react to their slipknot cover, too if you haven't checked it out yet. And next time... stay focused while you react, you'll end up missing the cool parts.
Talk about an "Anime intro type song" please check out The Non-Fiction Days live as it really has that vibe. The girls put everything they've got into the last song of the show. ruclips.net/video/9KsIwWEC3qQ/видео.html As mentioned Moratorium and Don't You Tell Me are also great songs from that show... As well as many more.
Jesus guys, could you talk a little more? You nissed 70% of the song. I hope you're standing on a small stage playing and you look down to see two people carrying on a conversation for three or four minutes like you aren't even there. I'm out. Unsubscribed.
I was hoping there would be more of an actual reaction wherein you describe your feelings about certain parts or break them down musically. Regardless, I enjoyed this video! Thank you for the content. I wish your channel the best and look forward to checking out your own band's music. Cheers.
Dice and play are my favorite songs by these ladies. Lots of good stuff by them tho. Also check out Aldious, another all girl j-rock group, re:fire is a favorite there but they also have a lot of good stuff.
Band-Maid definitely has a big war chest to choose from. Unleash is their latest single which seems more metal fusion to me but is a great track as well. Dice you getting into more heavy territory here. Along with Black Hole, Chemical Reaction & Rinne. BandMaid hasn't been around as long as let's Babymetal. Which BTW not surprisingly both groups are friends. However I hope for similer sucess as this group deserves it here. I also recommend checking out Blackcult Hagene as well!! :b
OH you guys should react to Maki Oyama, a Metal solo artist from Osaka who I found out about while I was in Osaka, heard her first album Monster and was like "Okay this is fucking good" but I didnt buy her record. Also check out Aldious. BTW Go see Lalalay from Sunmi and Deja Vu from DreamCatcher.
If you're gonna start reacting to J-Rock, i think you should check out some older and diverse bands like L'Arc en Ciel, X-Japan, Miyavi, Dragon Ash, Dir En Grey, Beat Crusaders and Vamps.
Oh my god yesssss y'all reacted to my girlsss ahh😍. Theres a Japanese group called the pinballs and you guys will definitely like them. Please check them out❤❤❤❤
DUDES!! You said you went to the "At Home Cafe" when you went to Tokyo: Band-Maid's founder, Miku Kobato (rhythm guitar/second vocals) actually WORKED at one of those "At Home Cafes" just before putting the group together! (Back then, she was going by her real name, Mika Noguchi.)
Hey sorry we will be but Honan and I have been on the road working on a few different shows and tours, October will have lots of new content from us. Thanks!
I am a great fan of Band-Maid, but I think you must see the live-performance on YT. They are much better. Band-Maid is a greater live band. If you have the chance, go to a concert. They take often tours to US and Europe. I´ve seen they last year in Berlin.
I really thought you guys only reacted to kpop and now that you guys are reacting to jrock it's great. There are tons of awesome bands out there that you should check out like Passcode's Taking you Out ;)
You guys should react to "IRON ROSE" and "Astral Dogma" by Yōsei Teikoku, they are also Japanese, but they are way more one the metal side of things and they also have neoclassical influences
If you haven’t done a live version of their stuff you really should. Moratorium would be a good place for you guys to start. Next, you mention you don’t see many all girl rock bands. SO MANY GOOD ONES in Japan. Aldious, Bridear, Mary’s Blood to start with. But you so need to see Asterism Rising Moon. The guitarist will blow you away!
Listen to SCANDAL. Some of my favs are Shunkan Sentimental, Shoujo S, Doll. I'm not a hardcore fan, but I like listening to some of their songs. They're pop rock and visuals are all pretty, not that that has anything to do with their music.
Live versions of Puzzle and Play are really good. Also, another great J-Rock/metal band that makes for good reactions is Maximum the Hormone. Their video for the song "A-L-I-E-N" might be one of the greatest videos on the internet: ruclips.net/video/TdwT5JlH8gM/видео.html
For a harder sound, try "Play live". It's one of my favorites. ruclips.net/video/YeiIju_t1D8/видео.html. As for how they got started and came up with the maid idea, Miku Kobato the rhythm guitar player/singer was a maid at a maid cafe in Japan and she was also a singer/guitar player. She really enjoyed both, so she thought it would be fun to do something that combined both. She started calling musician friends and Band-Maid was born. Hope you enjoy Play live.
I'm sure somebody will be along with the full history, but in a nutshell Miku (rhythm guitar and vocals) was a maid cafe worker who liked rock, who thought it would be interesting to have a band who looked like maid cafe maids, but played hard rock - creating what she calls "the gap" between what you expect and the reality of how they sound.

Please react to their Live performance
Their Live at Zepp Tokyo performances are great. Try "Moratorium"! Thanks!
I wouldn't say they get heavy but they do go full on hard rock. Check them out live. They kick ass. They will make you feel inadequate as musicians.
Band Maid _ Play live
ruclips.net/video/YeiIju_t1D8/видео.html
Band maid - Take Me Higher live
ruclips.net/video/vFyYiPDZzdw/видео.html
Moratorium / live or Play / live.... not sure ur ready for it tho...
Band Maid is at such a high level of compositional ability (thanks to Kanami to exist ..) If we say that they resemble or contribute to the generic J-rock it almost feels like an offense ... they belong only to themselves. a separate class.
If you are the metal heads
You should react to the all female Japanese heavy metal band called “Aldious” ruclips.net/video/WcRTLC_D3r8/видео.html
If you haven't done so already, you definitely need to check out more jrock. In general there is just a lot of rock influence in Japanese music. Gackt and Mucc are two bands I definitely recommend, also LiSA and ONE OK ROCK.
Such a great band live, moratorium, play, puzzle, take me higher, real existence and the songs go on and on, they should be huge 🤘
Shit i forgot dice, how the hell could i forget dice, oh my days. 🤘🤘
Yeah Moratorium and Real Existence
But LIVE version is the best
As a lot of people have said. To get a feel for this band and their talent and their true sound you have to watch their live performances. I actually prefer their live performances to their studio versions in most cases. As for the anime thing, I feeel their music is some way off of most anime tracks (at least that I'm familiar with), especially live. Have a fun ride listening to their stuff because you guys are in for a treat ;)
Wow i just realised throughout the video that you guys actually have never checked out Band Maid. Considering your thirst for harder songs and shreds you should definitely check out these MVs:
- the non-fiction days
- DICE
- YOLO
- Don’t you tell ME
My fav song (Puzzle) doesn’t come with a MV.
But also given the fact that this is your first time listening to Band Maid, I should probably also recommend you
- DOLL$BOXX with „Take My Chance“ or „Monopoly“
- PassCode with „MISS UNLIMITED“, „Taking you out“, „Tonight“ or „bite the bullet“ :D
- also I guess you should know about LADYBABY already since „Nippon Manju“ went kinda viral too, nevertheless since they‘re 4 girls they don’t sound too shabby either, check out „bite me“ or „Riot Anthem“ if you haven‘t already ✌️
GIRLS ROCK!!! BAND-MAID WORLD DOMINATION!!!
When you guys come back and make more videos, I need you to react to Dreamcatcher “Deja Vu” love you guys and your reactions !!!!!!
Thank you and thanks for the info, we appreciate your support 🤘
Please react to Dreamcatcher's new comeback "Deja Vu". Thank you. 🤗🤗🤗
Check out the new dreamcatcher song deja vu!!!!!
They actually did an ANIME song, 'Glory'. But you should have done the LIVE version. You need to do 'Play!' LIVE, 'Don't You Tell Me' LIVE and 'Take Me Higher' LIVE, as well as 'Puzzle' LIVE, 'Moratorium' LIVE and their instrumental 'On Set'. If you're going to do Music Videos try 'Thrill'. Or check out their April Fools persona BAND-MAIKO.
Awesome thank you for the info we appreciate it!
That’s so cool you are reacting to jrock bands. I hope you continue to react to more jrock bands. I a fan of both kpop and jrock.
All female rock-punk bands are not a new thing in Japan. They have groups like Shonen Knife from the 80th.
They are so long times on stages that... well, see yourself
ruclips.net/video/ifsOob7KPcY/видео.html
The singer is now 58 and still on stages
@Jose Manuel Perez Shonen Knife are great.
I just saw them again at a local club last month.
The new album, 'Sweet Candy Power' is a fun one.
React to Lovebites - Shadowmaker. All-girl Jpower/heavy metal.
I'm soooo stoked you guys are checking out jrock now! If you're still taking recommendations, OLDCODEX is my absolute favorite, their songs Walk and Where'd They Go? are amazing.
Check out this from Band Maid - ruclips.net/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/видео.html
Their heaviest song is certainly 輪廻. Here's the link to use:
ruclips.net/video/CQ9dbEVgZcA/видео.html

Defiantly check out more of them. The live versions of "Play" and "Don't You Tell Me" are a must, but also check out "Bubble" and "Alone".

Pueden cerrar la boca durante el video musical 🙄🙄 vean y luego comente es fastidioso del modo en que lo hacen
do a reaction to breaking out by dreamcatcher. Its their Japanese comeback!
Lead singer Saiki has recently played this LIVE solo on piano....I was there.
There is a wonderful selection of J-Rock, J-Metal, and J-Punk, and many all-female bands. Power metal: Lovebites "Shadowmaker" ruclips.net/video/k3wyUbfl6TY/видео.html Insane punk Otoboke Beaver "Don't Light My Fire" ruclips.net/video/fkWfFXnLpYg/видео.html Rock: Scandal "Masterpiece" ruclips.net/video/fkWfFXnLpYg/видео.html Then there is whole Alternative Idol scene where an idol style group performs some really hard music. Check out: Broken by the Scream "Sayonara Birthday" ruclips.net/video/Q8qOH-f6doM/видео.html
And you should re-visit Babymetal. The latest stuff is amazing. And the usual warning, watch out for copyright strikes. The Japanese music companies are nuts.
ok no babymetal. dont blame ya. here is one for u megaherz
Do you know One Ok Rock? Should check them out. For kpop, I keep suggesting. BAP's Dystopia, maybe one day you will check it out.
Please go back to Band Maid again. I think they are the best hard rock band now aday. Check out LIVE version of "Dice", "Play", "Moratorium" or any song of them in LIVE version, they're all excellent.

Can you listen to this Japanese power metal band? It also has subtitles/captions, you just have to turn it them on.
Lovebites - When Destiny Aligns
Dice and play are my favorite songs by these ladies. Lots of good stuff by them tho.
Also check out Aldious, another all girl j-rock group, re:fire is a favorite there but they also have a lot of good stuff.

They're amazing!
OH you guys should react to Maki Oyama, a Metal solo artist from Osaka who I found out about while I was in Osaka, heard her first album Monster and was like "Okay this is fucking good" but I didnt buy her record. Also check out Aldious. BTW Go see Lalalay from Sunmi and Deja Vu from DreamCatcher.
4:54 Yeah, you watched one of their more pop-punk sounding songs. You should have watched REAL EXISTENCE if you wanted to be surprised.
anything of theirs sounds better live, I think they feed off of the energy from the crowd
Please react to King Gnu -vinyl and flash🙇♀️
This is hella late but Lynch. is one of my favorite jrock bands. Maybe check them out?
Have you guys heard of the Gazette? It's another jrock group that's been around for awhile. Filth in the Beauty is my favorite and the invisible wall.
Yes definitely, awesome we'll check it out! Thanks
I've got a good idea we'll do a reaction to some music, and talk all the way through it.

Heavier songs include Dice, Domination, Screaming. Another Jrock band that is heavier is Asterism. Try Rising Moon
If you're gonna start reacting to J-Rock, i think you should check out some older and diverse bands like L'Arc en Ciel, X-Japan, Miyavi, Dragon Ash, Dir En Grey, Beat Crusaders and Vamps.
Oh my god yesssss y'all reacted to my girlsss ahh😍. Theres a Japanese group called the pinballs and you guys will definitely like them. Please check them out❤❤❤❤

If you love Jrock. Listen to Filth in Beauty by the GazettE
Reaction SuperM "jopping"
こういう複数でリアクションする場合、気になるのが聴かせどころでしゃべっていて、音楽をしっかり聞いてない人たち。曲の受け取り方は人それぞれだけど、まずはしっかり聞いて欲しい。
確かに、的を得てない発言ばかりで、ガッカリでしたね🤭🤭🤭
激しくagree
PLEASE REACT TO THE NEW SONG OF DAY6 "SWEET CHAOS"
I could swear I saw this a week or so ago.
You did, last week. I took it down due to an audio issue, it's fixed now.
Could you react to some My First Story it’s also Jrock.
DUDES!! You said you went to the "At Home Cafe" when you went to Tokyo: Band-Maid's founder, Miku Kobato (rhythm guitar/second vocals) actually WORKED at one of those "At Home Cafes" just before putting the group together! (Back then, she was going by her real name, Mika Noguchi.)
Thats awesome!🤟
kanami vs lisa... round 1 fight! lol
which sis-in-law are you rooting for goran?

so are you guys not posting anymore?
Hey sorry we will be but Honan and I have been on the road working on a few different shows and tours, October will have lots of new content from us. Thanks!
@@Gusmcarthur you should explore more jrock and jmetal man. There's a reason marty friedman went to japan.
I am a great fan of Band-Maid, but I think you must see the live-performance on YT. They are much better. Band-Maid is a greater live band. If you have the chance, go to a concert. They take often tours to US and Europe. I´ve seen they last year in Berlin.
I really thought you guys only reacted to kpop and now that you guys are reacting to jrock it's great. There are tons of awesome bands out there that you should check out like Passcode's Taking you Out ;)
LIVELIVELIVELIVELIVELIVELIVELIVE
At last jrock! Subscribe! Loved your kpop reactions too though.
IMO band maid better than baby metal. It's all instruments. Check out their live shows
You guys should react to "IRON ROSE" and "Astral Dogma" by Yōsei Teikoku, they are also Japanese, but they are way more one the metal side of things and they also have neoclassical influences
If you haven’t done a live version of their stuff you really should. Moratorium would be a good place for you guys to start.
Next, you mention you don’t see many all girl rock bands. SO MANY GOOD ONES in Japan. Aldious, Bridear, Mary’s Blood to start with. But you so need to see Asterism Rising Moon. The guitarist will blow you away!
