![[REACTION!!] Old Rock Radio DJ REACTS to BAND-MAID ft. "DOMINATION"](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/hpPoFo8Hee0/mqdefault.jpg)
I love their smiles. You can tell how much they are enjoying themselves when they perform live. I can`t wait to see them on stage here back in the USA. Band-Maid is my favorite band of all time. I lost interest in Hard rock years ago. Their wonderful uniqueness has given me back my love for hard rock. All five ladies are strong pillars supporting each other. Their chemistry and friendship shines brightly in their music. Band-Maid Stay strong and Play long!
They even enlisted in a sixth pillar for Hamburg show in case they brought the house down.
@@glenkelley6799 lol
I too had given up on rock music, it got so repetitive. Turned to sports talk. My son playing video games turned me on to BandMaid about three years ago. Now I am actually considering buying a video album I they just put out.
@@waynetubr Cool! I have 4 of their albums. Anything you get will be good: trust me! God Bless.
@@waynetubr I have just purchased that latest BR, first one ever and now I need to buy a BR player
When Kanami approaches Miku you can almost hear her encouraging voice "Yes - You can do it - That's it - Yes - You got it - You've cracked it - Keep going, - Keep going - Yes - Keep going - That's it - That's it - You nailed it..."
If you don’t tell people that Kanami is Miku’s guitar teacher, this comment would be a head-scratcher.
The live songs are usually different from the studio version. More solos, extended intros, outros, different parts... It points to their virtuosity. Every performance is different. They craft different instrumental intros, vary the dueling parts, add solos (recently, adding more drum solos due to requests from fans), add flourishes (rakes, harmonics, wah, slaps, vary the fills), change the vocal effects, vocal confidence has allowed them to be more raw and emotional live. All of them like to challenge their abilities, so they will add things that are on the edge of their capabilty. Kanami and Akane have spoken of this a few times. Also, Saiki has become the leader, and is quite the taskmaster and critic. Great musicians that write great songs, a rarity. Amazing where they are now from five or six years ago.
The Akane, MISA, Miku Trio is the best, tightest rhythm section in Rock, period! Not female rock or J-Rock, just fu$king god-damn Rock with no qualifying descriptors! I’m so damn proud of them. In the earlier years of Band Maid, they had absolutely no label support when touring and sound quality was their Achilles Heel. They literally were shoulder to shoulder along with their equipment in a van, driving around Japan to play without roadies or techs. Then they were at the mercy of whoever worked for the venue for sound. There’s video out there of them at some festival in plainclothes setting up their own stage and assembling the stacks and drums before changing into their maid outfits! Believe me, NOTHING has been simply handed to these ladies.💪🏻🤘🏻
As you should be. They are special
BigBrutal BassBeer What you are saying is spot on. It is true that all the great bands cut their teeth by doing the hard yards in the pubs and clubs. (See Beatles) It’s that grounding that makes them truely great.
I remember seeing them at MCM expo 2016 on the tiny outdoor stage and thinking 'Why the hell are they here, they should be doing full gigs!' And yes I'm pretty sure they did some of their own setup.
They paid their dues....to get where they are. My favorite band!
Well they're playing the Budokan next year. Hard work has paid off! And very well deserved, love these ladies.
"They're all gathering around the drummer... maybe something went wrong? Shows remarkable maturity that they're able to do so live."
What band-maid is actually doing: making funny faces
The thing that struck me when I saw them live was how tight they were. Such a good rhythm section giving the lead guitarist and vocals a solid foundation. Honestly Akane and MISA are one of the best drum//bass combos I've seen. It shows how confident they are in their playing that they have time to mess about on stage, like trying to put Akane off her stride by pulling faces at her. For more of these antics check out Real Existence or Freedom live from Zepp Tokyo.😁
You should see Freedom from Line Cube Shibuya 2020. Or most of the show actually. They have way too much fun on stage.
They are so fun to watch Live. I was so happy they played in LA the last 2 years. They will need a bigger venue the next time Band Maid comes back
I agree with your thoughts on their musicianship. For all of the reasons you could like them (and there are several) it's their musicianship that I love and keep coming back to see and hear.
👌🙌
Now you need to witness one of Misa's (The bassist) and Kanami's (The lead guitarist) battles.
I recommend Take me Higher (live) and Don't you tell me (live).
Yeah, those are amazing. Looking forward to the reaction ;-)
Miku has grown into such a solid rhythm guitarist, and her vocal harmonizations are spot on! Great reaction, very insightful! Keep'em coming ;)
Thank you so much. More coming soon.
I also have heard different tubers, if that what you them, say they thought at first it was Saiki's voice tracked in. But no, Miku and Saika, really accommodate each other very nicely.
@@waynetubr Miku does indeed have a very nice voice. I love hearing Time with her on vocals. Or Rock In Me, such a fun and happy rock song :)
I give props to the whole band for letting Miku grow into a new role once it became obvious she couldn't be the prime vocalist for the rest of these monsters.
Your face during Akane's drum solo... yes these women are beasts. Best rock band I've heard in decades.
I'm blown away. They're remarkable
@@ChaseCarneson I honestly compare the backline of Misa, Akane, and Kanami to Rush. Such creativity and discipline in the music, those 3 ladies are also fluent with sheet music. My only gripe about the band is the record label, I feel Band Maid needs more creative freedom and minimal oversight.
To be honest, I think Band-Maid has amongst the lowest levels of management oversight and highest levels of creative freedom when compared to most Japanese artistes. What gives you the idea they are not given creative freedom?
@@weilima9316 it's more of a feeling I have than anything concrete. Every song being a radio friendly length with overall traditional structure gives me pause. They are artists, nothing should be rejected by management, not with the honesty they create with.
@@weilima9316 I'm totally with you. I have the sensation that they are in the best label in terms of creative freedom. Not the best promotion, not the best influence or size but yet the best creative environment.
This one really shows the confidence and comfort level they've reached. Love em', always. Perhaps "Don't you tell me" Live next? Lol, i'm really just trying not to request every single live performance they've ever done!
Haha don't worry I'm not against that at all 👍
The solo in the middle is unique to this performance, while the recorded version has only a breakdown and short guitar solo. They always add a lot of extra solos, arrangements and instrumentals to their live shows.
I would be interested to hear your opinions on their song "Secret My Lips".
First! You have very quickly become my favorite reactor! They were making funny faces around the drummer to see if they could get her to miss a beat.
Thank you so much for the support and kind words. Yeah that makes sense. Shows how comfortable they are with each other.
With good reason,! Our boi knows his stuff....incredibly knowledgeable and awesome to watch explainining what the musicians are doing..I love this channel
Once you hear them live, all of your comments, questions, critiques, and musical knowledge will dissolve into one, beautiful sonic euphony of ecstasy that will spoil you for all other bands - the Band-Maid curse.
I stand by the the fact that Misa is one of the best fucking bass players I've ever heard. Ever. Fuck the "female" musician shit. She's just amazing
I'm from the McCartney school of bass: playing what's best for the song, while being both melodic and rhythmic. She's a master in this field.
I would say this is them just showing off their skill but that happens to be all of their songs! I agree about them being a hit factory. When i first started hearing them, each new song was my favorite! There's not one I dislike. Just some I like more than others. Great reactions too. I like your analysis because you give reasons for liking something.
They're just so special. Amazing talent
Agreed these girls are just amazing, no other adjective or qualifier needed.
Imho, the best hard rock band around and probably for the last 30-40 years! Everything is great about them; super musicians, great song writers, they have so much fun, the stage presence...they have it all and they're about to reach their goal....world domination! :) When you talked about where they were gathering around the drummer and then you said "...or to enhance the song" I thought "you just wait!" (that jam after the heavy part - it's not on the recorded version) :) Great reaction as always!
They are GOOD because they have talent and a chemistry together! And they certainly practice their songs again and again and again. It's not their solos (the solos are great) that amaze me it's how they play as a band.
I discovered this band with your reaction. So nice. Normally i watch reaction to song i like. Now i watch your reaction then i like the song hahaha.
Thank you. Have been waiting for another one from you. Quite educational as always. Hope to see some of their other songs some time, understand you have too many requests to see to.
People may not like band-Maid for one reason or another, but no one can ever accuse them of not putting in effort. Their work-ethic is top-tier, almost unparalleled.
I don't understand how anyone could not like them. They're amazing. Thanks for the support.
We rly have to Thank Miku for starting this legendary project called Band Maid
If you'd like to check out more of them, I'd recommend: DICE, Blooming, Rinne or Don't you tell ME :)
Going to have to do them all 🙌👍
Just wanted to pop in and say that I watch virtually all the Band-Maid reactions because I love seeing people like the things that I like and it makes me happy. You're probably the best on youtube at breaking down the songs and I really enjoy that. Thanks!
Thank you for the support 👍
Also, Saiki is such a queen its ridiculous
Is it just me or has Saiki's voice developed significantly in these latest videos? She was always good, but now it seems noticeably richer, and she's using distortion more.
@@MrHws5mp It's not just you! LOL! Saiki is in top form this whole show! Total control of what she is doing both vocally and in her performance. Best Saiki ever!
@@markmark6378 Her beautiful voice truly is the 5th instrument in the band!!!!...And Miku's blend is always perfect!!!...
@@MrHws5mp she sounded damn good in the shibuya concert , especially the slow songs
@@MrHws5mp She had a vocal cord polyps surgery somewhere in 2018
Puzzle is the song that cemented me as fan even though I've been listening to them since my trip to Japan in 2015.
If you want to see how good they are look at "Onset" live.:)
Onset live has to be next.
@@ChaseCarneson btw Onset is instrumentals only
Those girls have been grinding small venues since 2014. They are seasoned performers. This is something not common in japan as many groups are created by mega studios using idol singers brought up in idol schools. Its so nice to see Band Maid finally growing. I m just sad coz I know when they return to the states their ticket prices will increase and be in a larger venue.
That makes it even more special. I know the feeling. They are incredible and so glad I found them
Pardon the intrusion, the groups you mentioned that are manufactured by idol schools are only a small but very visible part of a larger pool. There are so many bands who are known, appreciated, revered, not just idol groups. But yes, you are correct. It's fantastic to see BAND-MAID appreciated by musicians the world over. They absolutely deserve the acknowledgement and the love.
Band -Maid are the future of rock and roll they are setting the standard
Never apologize for pausing. Reactions from people who know music are my favorite. You can only watch someone only say "wow, nice" so often. I'm a jazz guy. Trumpet is my main instrument and was a lead and soloist in marching and jazz bands in college. Played some cool festivals and events. I was never in a rock band, but I have jammed plenty (I am decent on drums, and have a nice thru-neck Spector bass I keep meaning to learn more on but don't). I really like hearing rock musicians take on bands I think are talented musically. It makes me realize things I hadn't been paying attention to. You are well-spoken about that. Keep it up.
Thanks for the awesome comment and support. Very much appreciated
I'm subbing just for your appreciation of such a phenomenal band ❤
It's only taken you 3 songs to nail down why people like this band so much. It's well constructed, well played, fun music performed by top notch musicians who get as much enjoyment playing their music for people as the fans get from listening to it.
There's no false bravado from them. There are no over the top stage mannerisms. Just damn good hard rock music played by 5 happy, talented musicians that leaves you energized and feeling good.
They are incredible. I'm only getting started.
Dude I really love your reactions. Not just reactions but analysis. You earn my sub!
Love these comments of yours - good knowledge, analysis and you really listen well.
Glad you like them! Thanks for supporting.
Awesome talent and just magical to watch.
This is exactly the type of reaction I wanted to hear for long time
I'm not normally a fan of vocals in another language for some reason, but the lead singer in this band has a fantastic voice, the little growl accent she added at the end of a couple of lines was superb.
Dude...your eyes seriously just about popped out of your head there in the drum solo leading back into Kanami's little lead.....I'm an old guy, and have gotten to where I feel a bit of Fatherly pride in these Ladies...They are so special!!...
I really like how you give thoughts every little change up of their musical structure. Thats what i like about this band. Pls do 'awkward' live if you like to hear a very unusual musical structure kind of song. Its one of their rock ballad btw. Stay safe!
Thank you Drew. Appreciate the support and reccomendation.
God I love that part in the chorus when the crowd sings hello hello hello hello
Great professional reaction, like it a lot how you're doing this👍
I really appreciate your musical insight in these reactions. Very interesting!
On occasion, the band will gather around the drummer and make funny faces at her so that it will throw her off! She responds with a smile
Makes sense now when I watch that back. Thank you for this, just shows how comfortable they are on stage.
Chase Carneson thank you for all of your reactions! Greatly appreciated! So far you’ve been the best at breaking down what’s going on! It doesn’t matter who you react to, my guess is that you’ll make it more worthwhile in getting viewers to explore more of whatever band you react to! Thanks bruh!
They turn every song into a spectacle live, it’s wonderful.
To hear someone like you with your knowledge give this band so much praise really gives the fans validation. This band is underrated. Onset Live has to be next. It’s not on any album. Pure instrumental and it really showcases their talents.
There are several more songs that this band has done that are amazing but onset live is the one that usually wins the skeptics and showcases to musician audience just how skilled this group really is.
Trust me, they are phenomenal. It's important to see the bits in-between, the interaction between the members. They are so comfortable playing together and they smash it.
If you watch this video again, at the 10:54 mark, Miku very elgantly falls over backwards.
On her bum, right?
About the song "Puzzle" you mentioned. The full band version is one of the heavier songs they have done. There is also an acoustic version. The acoustic version is a complete rework, stripped down to the melody and lyrics. Not sure which came first.
I was thinking to comment that Moratorium might be their heaviest song. When it comes around, list the different styles & influences in Moratorium, see what else people notice...
Unfortunately, the links I had to both versions have been recently taken down. I just checked.
@@cyberpotato63 This is the last one standing: ruclips.net/video/h_hIBrYGgIE/видео.html
@@timgove5337 I was thinking Rinne. So much to choose from with them.
@chase It is a great opportunity to do a side by side Reaction of the two ! Just sayin ;-)
couldnt agree more with you chase.. superb reaction as always
Band-Maid is probably the only band that I prefer live than studio... When playing live they throw solos everywhere and not just guitar solos, but also bass and drums solos, even rythm guitar solos sometimes, if that even makes sense. Pick any live song you find, you can't go wrong. Even recorded on cellphones they sound amazing. I hope they will come to Italy after this madness is over, I have to see them. Ciao!
I think this was the first track I played by Band-Maid....and I was pretty much instantly hooked. Only been a litle over a month and I now own all the albums and the new DVD. Haven't found a track I don't like yet....and don't expect to now.
I enjoy your style of react video (discovered through your Band-Maid reaction previously) and so you're the only reaction channel I've subscribed to. Looking forward to more Ban-Maid reactions from you....
The best way I can describe Band-Made is fun. Lots of bands have great songs, great musicians, and great singers. These girls have all that, plus they're just fun to watch and listen to.
Thanks for bringing Band Maid to my life with this reaction
Really love your band maid reactions in particular.
Freedom live version from the same concert was just published today! That version is even more awesome!
Thank you for this competent reaction. I like when I feel the person knows what he‘s talking about. Band-Maid is proud new member in the league of the real great ones. They got it all: Complex but catchy, versatility, great musicianship, top notch interplay, soaring vocals and beautiful harmonies and a insane powerful driving engine - one of the best rhythm section in rock these days ... and last but not least refreshing ego free and goofy personalities. They goof around with the drummer here.
There are other great Bands to discover in Japan, like GacharicSpin, Aldious, Bridear, Mary’s Blood (all female) and many more, but no one comes close to Band-Maid as full package in my opinion.
I would like to recommend to do next:
Blooming, it got everything what makes B-M unique - ruclips.net/video/uUt_JBMocKM/видео.html
Real Existence one of their earlier songs in a powerful live performance - ruclips.net/video/-qQnKILR5u0/видео.html
Rinne - their hardest song so far ruclips.net/video/CQ9dbEVgZcA/видео.html ... and for a contrast
Daydreaming live - a beautiful Ballade ruclips.net/video/wTAXAVErogk/видео.html
and some 90 excellent songs more
If you listen to the other versions of this song you will see that they cooked up a change and added a battle with Miku and Kanami to give the crowd more. On the 19th song of 21 they were having fun so they dropped in a change on the fly, It could have been signaled or prompted by Saiki who at times will command, do something. So from Misa to Kanami to Kanami vs Miku to Akane, that was added in on the fly and then it picks up with Kanami's final solo. They were having fun and they did that for all, as that is what they do, having fun.
Actually it’s 22 of 23. Acoustic versions of YOLO and Puzzle were performed that night but not in the DVD/BluRay.
The gathering around Akane is "Hengao" , the Japanese art of making strange faces. The ladies do it allot, both on and off stage. Sometimes you can catch Akane making faces back. Also, they are 25 to 29 years old . I believe Saiki is the youngest and Akane the oldest. Band Maid has spoiled me, because I now notice how allot of bands just repeat with no variation. When it comes to song writing, give me an order of Kanami with a side of Akane and a heavy dash of Misa! Not saying there aren't other great song writers, but Kanami and the girls are definitely very talented!
"variation" is certainly something one would pick up after idolizing maximum the hormone. hahahaha
*a lot
@@Yotanou, good thing I didn't say it then.
*exaggerated
bro
haha
@@Yotanou, if only you'd tagged the correct person in the first place.
I think they also may have been deciding how long the solo was going to go and how many bars each was going to get.
Band-Maid is hands down the best hard rock band on the planet today. No one is even close. And they are mighty easy on the eyes as well. Sacramento loves Band-Maid.
Nice one Chase - knew you'd love them live. You're really good at picking out what makes bands tick.
Thanks, Harold. Really appreciate your support
I love the way you breakdown the Band Maid performances. They are my fav! I just heard about them this year and they have made a lot easier to get through the COVID mess. I didn't even have a hint of the Japan music scene other than some Baby Metal before this.
Great reaction! I particularly enjoyed the bassists tone. Ahh it sounds good!
Sounds amazing!!!!
I love honest reactions and Band-Maid, really talented musicians. Subscribed.
Queen Sai-chan absolutely OWNS that crowd! \m/
She kills it. Amazing talent.
@@ChaseCarneson What is even more amazing is that in private she's a shy tiny lady (but one who knows what she wants and doesn't want - she's got the "imprimatur" in the band, the last word about songs). It's very impressive to meet her at a meet & greet and then one or two hours later witness this incredible frontwoman commanding the crowd. She worked a lot on her scenic presence - playing clubs or rather small halls does help - as she said at the end of "Rinne": it's sink or swim! She turned into Esther Williams!
Your right they’re just great at what they do the look on your face said it all. Great reaction
I love that you brought up the little guitar accent with the "dun" "dun" around the 4:13- 4:18 part in the video. I'm not a music guy, so I don't know what instruments or descriptions to mention, but I have heard awesome little background things like this in the Real Existence music video at the 1:28 to 1:36 point- "doob be doob be doob"..."doob be doob be doob be doob" (lol best I can replicate) and another bizarre "skip" thing Kanami does at the 1:51 part of Take Me Higher live song. Again, don't know how to describe what I'm hearing, haha, but I love the unique things my ears are hearing!
Thanks for the support and comment. Appreciate it.
Really cool reaction. No problems with stopping and starting. If anyone wants to hear the song straight through they can simple go to the Band-Maid official channel. Sadly the official channel only has three live tracks. Many other tracks have been posted on RUclips that came from official DVD/BD releases but they have mostly been taken down recently, including Play and Moratorium. It's a pity the record company didn't make them official releases as between them they had over 2,000,000 views. Anyways many of the fancam recordings are still up, obviously not professionally produced but still entertaining in their own right. This from the 2019 Hamburg show has Take Me Higher / Freedom / Moratorium with bonus drum and guitar solos. ruclips.net/video/RxmRiWHZ3TI/видео.html
Vlads work is fantastic
I didn't notice anyone mentioning it in the top half of the comments ... but to give you an idea of the energy of their shows, this was song 22 of their concert. The concert is available on DVD/BluRay if you're interested. And you should be :)
Band-Maid brought me to your channel. Excellent reactions over-all are keeping me here.
Thanks, Pete. Appreciate it.
Thank you for the reaction. I love that you actually break a song down and don’t just say that’s nice. Great work :)
I do my best. Glad you enjoyed.
That awesome breakdown in the middle is exclusive to this performance alone. It's not in the album release or any other live performances.
Just got home and am Happy to see your reaction up!! Well worth the wait! A massively great job!! This is one great performance! I went through almost all of the comments and I got to ask you what do you think of these Band-Maid fans??? Are they great or what??? Makes me proud to be a fan!!! Cheers to ya and anxiously waiting for the next one!!
Some of the best fans around. So informative and supportive. Big thanks to you all.
Your considered reactions are excellent and make a refreshing change. You'll see other band members visiting Akane ("the drummer") either individually or in groups in a lot of their live footage. As others have said it's partly to do with messing around, mutual face-pulling etc, but it's also to make sure there's no risk of her looking or feeling detached from the rest of the band behind her drum kit, so it's kind of a symbol of band solidarity. It's a lovely sight when it happens.
One other thing, following on from your comments about putting in the effort, it's now high-time that you learned the band members' names! "The bassist", "the lead guitarist", "the drummer" etc won't wash anymore! :)
Thank you for that. More coming soon
MISA is playing what I have heard termed a five string black smoker,. Earlier in the concert she premiered her new five string SG style P bass.
That was awesome, thanks for breaking that down. These ladies are talented
8:32 This is why I like your reactions. Facts that I did not know before.
6:00 In this case, they were just having fun.
They were probably pulling "funny faces" to make the other members laugh.
I've Been a Fan for like 3 years. Miku (Rythm guitar) didnt Actually know how to play guitar when the band formed.
So if you've been a fan of them for years seeing Miku nail a solo gets you right in the heart.
So much growth 😍🤩😍
Hi and thank you again for your proff. Reaction!
I'm blind and you are with your Infos al little bit my Eys, hhelping to get the Pictures in my Haad.
Kopfkino - Head Cinema, as we called it in German.
Stay save!
Thank you for all the support.
I am addicted to Band Maid. One of their fortes is Kanami's exceptional craftsmanship on compositions and arrangements.
They are sophisticated, intelligent and unpredictable and that's why I don't get tired of listening to them everyday!
And Chaise, the way you break it down is so articulate, I can appreciate her talent even more. Thank you!
We are so lucky during this endless live music hiatus that they recorded this concert on Feb 14 2020. I continue to be blown away every time I watch/listen to this song. Having had the good fortune to see them several times in the US last year, and following them for 3 years, I should not have been surprised. But, I was surprised at how they had markedly upped their game in just 4.5 mos.
Thanks for your way above average observations - and for helping get the word out about under-appreciated bands!
BTW: If no one has suggested, I would like to hear your comments about Asterism: Young instrumental trio from Fukuoka, Japan. They have a couple of CD's out already (since 2018). I am partial to "Dawn" ("360 degree battle session" version for ex) and "Blaze" but look around - they've also done some pretty good covers.
So jealous that you got to see them. Can't wait til I get to see them live. Appreciate the support.
Those drums sound so gooooood
Finally received notice that my blu ray of this show is on it's way to me! I can't wait!!
Niiiiiice. Bit jealous.
@@ChaseCarneson I'm sure it'll be worth the wait, considering the band's posts on YT their channel!
One of the most informative, and educated breakdowns of a performance I have watched. Top content.
Check out some of the "Live from Zepp Tokyo" videos if you can find them. The performance here was one of their best released, but the sound mix for the Zepp Tokyo shows was better, with Kanami's leads cleaner and MISA's bass tone much fuller.
Thank you for the kind words and support. Much more coming. 💪
I closed my eyes before I heard this. Opened my eyes and was pleasantly and additionally surprised that my ears were right - they're great! Your face @ 8:23 was me!
They're amazing!!!
Sorry. Posted later without reading the other posts. Dead on, by the way.
Actually lower frequencies travel farther than higher frequencies, so those are the ones that need more power to cut through. The reason why bass amps need higher wattage is to give them the headroom to maintain the clarity of the pitch at higher volumes.
The feature parts were just for that performance. But the huddle around the drums could've been for lots of reasons, it could be them just goofing off with each other, it could be to make sure that the drummer had enough energy to play the full feature bit as no one dropped a beat or went out of tune at usually occurs with a string break. But it likely could be the final decision as to the order that the feature bits happen as Akane (drummer) is the band leader and Kanami (lead guitar) knows when to come back in.
Also Misa has only been shown playing 4 and 5 string basses. If she has a 6 she's never played it with this group.
As for everything else, I completely agree with your assessment of this song and performance. Part of what makes them so cool is how they allow each song to evolve as it goes along. Kanami is truly masterful where it comes to crafting each part and arranging them to throw little twists and turns to keep things fresh and interesting. Every member of this band is amazing and prove that gender, and genre has nothing to do with achieving greatness. Sure they celebrate their femininity through their outfits, but they don't rely on that to sell the music. It speaks very much for itself, and it comes through in their unbridled passion for what they do! If this band wasn't a thing, there isn't a single member that I wouldn't want to play on a project of mine.
Ive been a fan of Band Maid for years. Their two frontwomen are great, but in my opinion, they are outshown by the pure musicianship of the bass, lead guitarist, and drummer.
This drummer, specifically, is their secret weapon. She is SOOOOOOOO good.
Also, if you wanna explore some more Japanese rock/metal check out Ningen Isu. Theyve been around since the 80's
Just flippin' through and saw your comment. I gotta say, their secret weapon is diffidently Miku, with her lyrics and melodies... no, wait, it's not Miku... it's Saiki with incredible voice, gestures and charisma... no, hold on... it's MISA. No one plays like MISA. She is... wait... it's not MISA... it's Kanami... her writing and playing is off the charts. You know what, Tarin... there's no single secret weapon. It's Akane and the rest of them. All the Band-Maid members are hard rock weapons of mass enjoyment.
MISA!!!! MISA!!!! MISA!!!! loved your break down. You caught the little details and your facial reactions are genuine
Appreciate you.
What an awesome shirt man. Love it. Definitively doesn't make you look like a youth pastor.
I appreciate that! 😂😂😂😂
they have awesome call & response :) the band loves making the chorus asymmetrical, just to make sure the song doesnt become boring. the members love to gather around Akane(drummer), they said it helps them loosen up(Misa and Kanami are actually really shy). Akane is actually the leader of the group even though you'd think its Miku or Saiki normally. this "Finale" version of this song is very cool since the group actually redid the solo part just for this last day(bass solo, guitar duo, quartet, drum solo, guitar solo, back to song). Fun fact, Miku/rhythm guitarist said in their recent fan interview that she was playing so hard on that duo part that she fell over at the end. ;)
Band Maid, I'm sure, write songs with live performance in mind, which is probably why there's only one song of theirs (Dice) where the music video is generally regarded as better than the live version. They even talk of one song being written for how it would sound in an arena - which is quite something considering they won't actually make their arena debut until next February.
They probably tone it down a bit for these DVD shows, but between songs they can have a laugh between themselves like they are a group of mates playing in a pub band. You really see just how much they enjoy being on stage. Here's a quick between-song clip from them in New York ruclips.net/video/sxgI_DVUpZU/видео.html ...to give you some idea. (it's English, but worth putting on the subtitles anyway)
It's on the list for sure.
@@ChaseCarneson I'm assuming you mean Dice. The clip I linked is just something to watch when you have a spare two minutes. The Dice video is obviously on their official channel - and yes, it's a MV very much worth watching (unless you hate creepy dolls...nobody gets the creepy doll)
@@RevStickleback yeah yeah the official one. Had a bunch of calls for it and actually really excited to give it a listen
Misa's bass in this video is a Black Cloud Custom 5-string bass aka "Black Smoker".
Have you ever Heard of MAN WITH A MISSION ? They mix a lot of alternative, metal, pop and electro pieces all into one song and every song sounds different but they're catchy in their own way. Check out the Songs Take Me Under and Left Alive.
You are the best reactor on RUclips. Great ear, smart, and articulate. Thank you.
Really appreciate the support and kind words.
I don't know, i just had this feeling that this legendary line up is not coincidence and they going to dominate the world(us) really² soon... The centuries years old pigeon wisdom
NOTICE!! BAND-MAID FANS!! In light of Band-Maid's Budokan shoe being canceled, myself and bandmaidnation (on Instagram) are trying to put together a compilation video of fans saying thank you and showing their love and appreciation for everything they have done, especially considering this past year. Trying to have it done by February 11th in time for their online show in place of Budokan. So please send your submissions as soon as you can. Please send your videos or pictures to Instagram: bandmaidnation or myself at egospodareck. Thank you in advance!
Man. That solo section gave me the chills.
That change right after Akane's snappy solo & Kanami's shredding: gives me goosebumps every time.
They be tight live. That musical breakdown was cool and that bass player kicks A$s
Thanks for another great reaction, keep them coming. Secret my lips and Dice are both great Bandmaid songs. For Lovebites try Break the wall or Under the Red Sky from the Battle in the East concert, or When destinies align music video.
Thanks for the support. They're on the list so coming soon.
5:45 That moment when MISA, Miku and Kanami approach Akane and lean in is very likely a third option: the bandmates have a tradition of frequently going over to Akane to make funny faces at her to try and make her mess up (which never works). Many of their live videos show them doing this and a few have good camera angles that let you actually see the silly faces they pulling. It's just part of the kind of fun they have together on stage.
Makes sense. They're just having fun.
@@ChaseCarneson Haha, I just scrolled down and noticed that someone had already explained what was happening there. Oh well. 🤘😄
