Alright, I admit defeat... You were right. ALL OF YOU were right. This band is killer! In fact, I liked it so much and wanted so much more that I did ANOTHER one of their videos 5 minutes after this one, and am doing my first ever back-to-back DOUBLE video release. If you like this one, check out my reaction to "Domination (Live)", that completely stunned me and blew me away. I also break down a lot of their gear on stage and have some cool tidbits of info in that one, too. Hope you enjoy both videos!
yo thank u so much in advance, I havent seen it yet and cant watch it live, but I appreciate a reaction to my fav band! misa is the one I look up to as bass player. but the way akane creates beat changes within songs and keep it rolling without a pause is incredible. and who doesnt like saikis voice :) . bit of information...: saiki joined the band later on cause and miku is now doing backing vocals, cause her voice was too cute to be the lead singer =D. if you want to see more of misa, someone uploaded 1min clips of her practicing basslines. I prefer the official videos to react to but if u wanna switch to a live reaction , choose "wonderland" and "onset". otherwise good music videos are "blooming" u have to react to that one, or "yolo" "alone" "glory" ... there are so many =D.
When you get done rolling off their 10 or so best electric performances.I don't know if it's available anymore. But you have to react to a double shot acoustic performance. Of the songs Puzzle and Anemone. Delivered with such pure emotion !
Kanami, lead guitarist/main composer, plays through the same stack as Pat O’Brien of Cannibal Corpse! And her pedal board is QUITE extensive. Also, VERY nice catch on the Zemaitis! Almost everyone, including myself, thinks Gibson at first. She’s playing her pearl faced Ring Chess for the mv, but no longer for live shows. She keeps it tucked away at home, to be brought out only for short “at home” jam videos.💪🏻🤘🏻
As a bass player myself, the first time I listened to Band-Maid, MISA's bass tone and playing style grabbed me straight away. This is one kick ass band.
I am a 68 year old former prog rock jazz fusion drummer so I LOVE great bassists and Misa is really special. Then there is Akane the drum goddess who constantly dazzles me with her creativity. Together , these two are one of the most incredibly tasty and talented kick ass rhythm sections on the planet. These girls renewed my love for music when I first heard them 2 years ago
First song i heard of them was when youtube was playing roulett and their live version og "Play" started.... I heard Misas bass play and just thought to myself... WTH is this sorcery? Awesome band!
@@tommcfall1274 nice perception about their musicality. They knew each other when they were attending the Tokyo School of Music so that really was "instrumental" (I know, bad pun lol) to them developing their musician ship. 👍
I love this band. They have so many influences. You'll hear pop, punk, disco, 70s rock, and metal, often in the same song. Kanami is a genius songwriter.
Band Maid is extremely consistent in regards to song quality. That's why you got so many different suggestions. If you like 1 song then you will like at least 30 more.
There are a million Misa in Japan. There is only one MISA. That is why she stylizes her name in all caps. Band-Maid live stream on August 16th here on RUclips. It will set you back $14 US. Band-Maid is an "impossibly hard rocking band" because an 810 year old pigeon says so. That last line is "May l take your order?" Sacramento loves Band-Maid. "Seize the moment!"
I currently work at a guitar pedal company and on certain days of the week I have input on what plays on the shop floor. I grew up listening to primarily Visual kei/Japanese music and dont really know a ton of american rock/metal music. But NONE of my coworkers as far as I'm aware listen to japanese music and I have "Maid" it my goal to get a majority of them into Band Maid. They have a sound that I think a majority of people will resonate with to some capacity. Not super heavy, catchy parts, nice riffs, and they litterally all have great musicianship. No matter what instruments my coworkers play I'm sure they can find something from one of their songs they like. They are well balanced in that sense. Here's to hoping I can bring Band Maid to the work place in 2022!
A brief on the maids, in order of seniority. Miku Kobato (pronounced mee-koo), nickname Kopparu ("Little Pigeon"). Band founder, backing vocals, rhythm guitar, lyricist, tireless PR machine and spokespigeon. Originally planned to be the lead singer, but demoted herself when she realized her voice was too soft for hard rock. Learned to play guitar while in the band, going from holding the guitar as a prop to her own solos in six years. Relentlessly cute, definitely eccentric, possibly insane. Kanami Tono (kah-nah-mee), nick: Kanamincho or just Mincho ("Princess Gums" or "Gums"). Lead guitar, keyboards, principal composer and arranger. Not just a musical genius, as she has a degree in economics from Tokyo University (like being a Harvard graduate). On stage, she plays a space cadet with a room temperature IQ and a massive crush on Saiki. Akane Hirose (ah-kah-neh), n: A-chan or The Gorilla. Drummer, and the closest the band has to a leader- when the others can't come to an agreement, she'll occasionally issue a decree that everyone accepts, like "Kanami will teach Miku guitar " or "everyone can design their own uniforms ". Cheerful, unflappable, and always snacking. MISA (mee-sah), n: MISA MISA MISA! or The Barefoot Assassin. Bassist, booze, and occasional wet work. Usually has a bottle of bourbon on her amp (though lately beer has been more common). Barely seems aware of the audience. Saiki Atsumi (sah-ee-kee, although most westerners pronounce it as "Psyche", which is close), n: Sai-chan or The Ice Queen. Lead vocals, assistant lyricist, "we're done" girl (the other four will happily keep tweaking a song until the end of time- her job is to say "it's good, let's move on "). Off stage she is quiet, a bit shy, a train nerd, and a fashionista. On stage, she is a sexy siren, a bit of a dominatrix, and constantly exasperated with her four charges, especially Miku and Kanami.
@@mintomacco Yes her stage name Kobato Miku directly translates to small (Miku) pigeon (Kobato). And if insane (it is quite possible) she is insane in absolutely the best way possible. I wish a whole lot of folks were as insane as she. Word.
Welcome abroad... You just discovered the best LIVE rockband on the planet right now. Great musicians, immense instrumental abilities, cool riffs, different verses in songs all the time, electrifying solos and FUN! These ladies making rock great again, can´t wait to see your shocking reaction yet on the LIVE video, i am sure they impressed you even more! Greetings from Germany... Stay healthy!
This song is about "Dice", that's throw a dice in life. Don't be in a sheltered existence and be brave and throw a dice in life to go forth and live life.
Once they were allowed to use their own music, their writing, musicianship, and technicality I think is quite possibly unmatched today. There is such a level of perfection that goes into everything they do and they are all prodigies in their respective areas. From writing, to lyrics, composition, skill, and understand of music and and music theory..they are way beyond anyone else I have ever heard.
Finally BAND-MAID, the best rock music nowadays. First Jinjer now BAND-MAID it doesn't get any better for me. Both are the best in their genre. Fun reactions with great insights, open-minded personality. *Subscribed* B-M songs are so refreshing, high-energy, melodic, catchy, mood-lifting, with so much to discover if you listen closely. Composition, arrangement and musicianship are always stellar. Dice was the first B-M song I stumbled across last october, what a great discovery. Since then it's a pure joy to listen to their music. Rock On!
Band Maid is just so fucking good, like...I don't even have the language capability to explain why they're absolutely at the top tier of progression in modern music. This song is such a banger.
I was lucky enough to see them when they toured through the states back in 2019. They played like this for over 2 hours. Song after song with high intensity sounding just as good live. This band is the real deal.
I want to add so many bands I love on here but they seem to break up so often after I discover them. I would like to recommend Gacharic Spin, Unlucky Morpheus, and Doll$Boxx. Doll$Boxx is Gacharic Spin with the Singer from Unlucky Morpheus.
UNREAL talent. If I knew it was going to be this good, I would have done this sooner. In fact, I loved this so much that I did another video of Band-Maid 5 minutes after this one. I'll be releasing my reaction to "Domination (Live)" 15 minutes after this. Domination blew me away. You wont want to miss that one. I go more in depth with gear with that one too.
@@TankTheTech I love this band. Always consistently interesting to listen to. Old school bassist and guitarist here (started in '87) and these ladies, Mastodon, Gojira, Jinjer and Spiritbox have reawakened my interest in playing in the last 5 years. Hadnt played for nearly a decade before that.
I was not expecting... I think many of us can relate to that. When I started my first listen, I was not expecting young Japanese women in maid costumes to be much more than a 30 second youtube diversion. Now I'm like a teenager who can't wait for the next online B-M concert to start (Aug 16!). The GAP as they have it, or an ironic statement about not judging by appearances, just adds to their super hero status.
Discovering Band-Maid a few months ago, and listening to/watching these ladies every day has kept me way more positive and upbeat than I would have been without having found them, given all that 2020 has brought so far. I'm a massive fan now - despite not usually being a particularly big rock fan (late 80s/early 90s for a while I was a bit of a fan). Great seeing their popularity increasing by the day.
For these girls, solo is like an inevitable existence, like breathing. At the same time, they are the band I've seen most enjoy live performances. Thank your react~
This was THE ONE. This reaction video is what introduced me to Band-Maid in the summer of 2020. I come back and watch it from time to time to re-live the experience of hearing them the first time :)
Ha, told ya you would love this band :P. Glad you gave in to the requests (I saw my comment in the video too x3). And as promised this is another reaction/comment/message to your reaction :P.
Welcome to the Band Maid Experience sir. Im sure you're gonna like more songs from them 😉 looking forward for more reaction vids. Keep it up nice vid 😁😁 Greetings from the Philippines
imho DICE (and the great MV) is the perfect introduction/first song for band-maid. Not too crazy, everybodys got their moment to shine, awesome catchy vibes and you can venture in any direction from here on to discover loads of great stuff from them. Help the pigeon to conquer and dominate the world! 🕊️🖤✌️
Great reaction. You picked a great first song from them as well as this one represents their sound and style really well. "Fun, upbeat rock and roll" was my exact reaction the first time hearing this. Slick editing too btw, which I'm not normally in to overproduced stuff but you pulled it off. I saw you're doing Domination live too which I'm sure you'll like as well, so recommend Blooming MV and Freedom Live (Feb 2020) next. The rabbit hole is calling.
All the musicians are insanely good in this band! I was lucky enough to see them live in London a couple years ago and they really are amazing live! So many good songs it's hard to pick, but Domination live in Feb this year is good. Also 'Don't you tell me" live is amazing
And another one welcome to the rabbit hole of Japanese music world :D Now you have to try Lovebites and Unlucky Morpheus :D And don't forget that there will be a live stream concert on 16 august :D
Loved you loving them! Found them in February...still blown away daily! Saw Deep Purple, Zepp, and others live in the 70s so I have a bit of experience listening to great music but you are a musician and so glad you liked them.
Welcome to the fandom. Band Maid is the best rock band out right now. Check out the following songs by them: Thrill, Bubble & Blooming (Music Vidn). Also: Take Me Higher, Moratorium & Turn Me On (live vids)
Tank, you have to listen to "DOMINATION" live on BAND-MAID's YT channel. Awesome song with a multi instrument solos breakdown that's sooo good it'll melt your brain.
I rewatched this video a few times since its release. its the end of november 2021 and your beard is so much longer now :-) i think this video changed my life in a positive way. I have never heard of band-maid and i came here for babymetal reactions. i struggled with listening to other japanese bands but when i heard this song ... omg .. i fell in love. and i think band-maid is my all time favorite band for the rest of my life. i am from germany and we also have great musicianship here. in extremo was my favorite for all the years, you reacted to them. i apreciate that. their live performances are so freaking good. i have seen them nearly 10 times. but band-maid is like a drug. i cant stop listening to them and i just wanna say: Tank you! :-)
BAND-MAID Trivia: Kanami's first instrument was piano, she started playing guitar in high school and continued in university...MISA started out playing sax...and Akane was a trombone player.
First of all, great reaction! I've been hooked since I first heard them. Best hard rock band around, and we Maidiacs are on a MISSION to get them the recognition they deserve! They're not only great players, but their songwriting and arranging is off the hook great. Very addicting, and they will put a sh@t eating grin on your face whether you want it there or not - every time. They always add little twists, false stops and varied musical tidbits throughout the song to keep you interested. I haven't felt this excited about a band in years. I'm sure you already have enough suggestions, but I'd add the MV of Blooming or Rinne, and live anything else from their YT page, for sure. I'd stay away from most fan cams but otherwise you can't miss. Subscribed!
@@TankTheTech the fan cams captured some really cool shit but they have so many great songs. They are absolutely fearless and not afraid to change things up and go in different directions. Their Band Maiko April Fools videos are a great example (Secret Maiko Lips & Gioncho)
Band maid is super underrated. People won’t listen to em cus they think it’s a typical Japanese “dance band” but they play their own instruments and play some classic tunes.
@@volleyballfanatic808 Yeah, idols then. I mean, there are hundreds of proper bands in Japan. I don't see why this should come as a surprise to anyone.
@@cepho8349 I don’t see the point of your comment. I never said there weren’t proper bands in Japan. I make the argument that I’ve heard a lot of people instantly turned off to the idea of Band-Maid because their initial reaction is “Baby Metal.” That’s all I said. I listen to a lot of really good Japanese metal bands that do their own instrumentation and song writing.
Japanese musicianship is so often overlooked, from Flower Travellin' Band in the late '60's through hard rock bands such as Loudness and Vow Wow, and now Band Maid. Thanks for the heads-up!
MISA! MISA! MISA! Holding the line in Solid Guitar Rock, Band Maid has picked up the Mantel of Rock'n'Roll where the West has left it behind! More Band Maid Always!! Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
Just going through older videos, to see where and how it started (Sabaton sharing your reaction to 'Bismarck' was my first time on this channel and it made me stay), but I'd never thought that you're into Anime 😳
Great reaction and can't wait to hear more! I only discovered Band-Maid in March this year, but they have reignited my love of music! I haven't heard a bad song from them yet and for a relatively new band (formed in 2013) they have a huge discography to choose from. They are also doing a live stream performance on the 16th of August which I'd highly recommend checking out if you can. They did one a few weeks ago and it was of the highest quality! As for songs to react to next I'd highly recommend 'Puzzle' live, but it's incredibly hard to find a performance on RUclips as their record label is quick on the block button for unofficial content. You can react to their instrumental from their official channel called 'onset' ruclips.net/video/mVrN-j_Uc0U/видео.html I've seen bands that have played together for 20+ years unable to reach the quality Band-Maid possess. They're a very special band! Po!

It always amazes me no matter what style or genre they play (or mash up) their music flows and is connected, nothing out of place. Band Maid is a great band all around.
Great review Tank, you get it ! Will subscribe, and look fwd to your next reviews. Welcome to THE MAIDIACS CLUB Yes, the bass player when asked about their style ,,,, and she said...Rock n Roll. However they play a few style and even their acoustic tracks have heart-breaker vocals even though in Japanese, emotion is still all there and more exposed. Try Rinne for a hard garage rock with retro style clip. They have some big fans , eg Jimmy Page.
BTW, I almost forgot about BAND-MAIKO. Without spoiling the surprise, please to react to them next time you want to do Band-Maid again. "Secret MAIKO Lips" or "Gion-Cho", your choice.
been back on a band maid kick and I love Tank as well so rewatching this. Crazy how far Tank has come in his production. The audio and video is so night and day haha.
Band-Maid is awesome! I've been hooked on them since 2018 and it's so cool to see others just discovering them enjoying them too. Great reaction video Tank! Exactly how i felt! You should listen to "Blooming", you will be mind blown even more. As they say, good music translates through all languages even if you don''t understand the language!
I just wanted to say that your reaction videos to band-maid are an absolute blast to watch whenever I get feeling low I know that I can just pull up one of your band-maid reactions and get back into the swing of things!!
Nice to hear an opened minded musicians reaction . I felt exactly the same the first time i heard them . They are every persons R&R and they have no weak points , none and go from strength to strength
Happy you put in Girugämesh as the intro music! I love the guys and I've already seen them several times at their European tours: they're killer!🤘🏽 Also, Band-Maid are awesome. Haven't seen them yet live 😢 but hope I'll catch tickets for one of their upcoming shows.
Found your reaction vids from your Band-Maid reactions. So cool to see a musical pro reacting this way. Will def check out more of your stuff! Do more Band-Maid also!
I've seen a lot of reaction youtubers and you are the best. I love that you know about music and go in depth on the tone and gear and provide insight most others wouldn't know. Great stuff
Check out their "On set" instrumental number - Apr 13th 2018 - plenty of sick solos!. They must have the happiest drummer ever! Check out the guitarists pulling faces at her to "try" to put her off (same song London 2019)!?
5:35 my favorite moment of this song .. i want to shout out my happiness after this great bass solo and the beginning of this incredible guitar solo. It feels like a fast car on a free road :)

Miku is endorsed by Zemaitis. She's playing the CS24PF Ring Chess here, but her most iconic guitar is the A24MF Aces & Eights.
i thought i'd seen more than one zemaitis that she has - break out the gold card $ !
In an interview *MISA* stated that the bass riff in this song was one of the most challenging she had to do.
Great job, great reaction!. Welcome to Band Maid, five japanese ladies who are going to steal your heart.
Once again proving my equation: (knows good music + never heard Band-Maid) + (now has heard Band-Maid)=Band-Maid Fan.
A brief on the maids, in order of seniority.

Originally planned to be the lead singer, but demoted herself when she realized her voice was too soft for hard rock. Learned to play guitar while in the band, going from holding the guitar as a prop to her own solos in six years. Relentlessly cute, definitely eccentric, possibly insane.

Not just a musical genius, as she has a degree in economics from Tokyo University (like being a Harvard graduate). On stage, she plays a space cadet with a room temperature IQ and a massive crush on Saiki.
Akane Hirose (ah-kah-neh), n: A-chan or The Gorilla. Drummer, and the closest the band has to a leader- when the others can't come to an agreement, she'll occasionally issue a decree that everyone accepts, like "Kanami will teach Miku guitar " or "everyone can design their own uniforms ". Cheerful, unflappable, and always snacking.

I want to add so many bands I love on here but they seem to break up so often after I discover them. I would like to recommend Gacharic Spin, Unlucky Morpheus, and Doll$Boxx. Doll$Boxx is Gacharic Spin with the Singer from Unlucky Morpheus.
5 super talented musicians. Looking forward to this.
UNREAL talent. If I knew it was going to be this good, I would have done this sooner. In fact, I loved this so much that I did another video of Band-Maid 5 minutes after this one. I'll be releasing my reaction to "Domination (Live)" 15 minutes after this. Domination blew me away. You wont want to miss that one. I go more in depth with gear with that one too.
@@TankTheTech I love this band. Always consistently interesting to listen to. Old school bassist and guitarist here (started in '87) and these ladies, Mastodon, Gojira, Jinjer and Spiritbox have reawakened my interest in playing in the last 5 years. Hadnt played for nearly a decade before that.
I was not expecting... I think many of us can relate to that.
When I started my first listen, I was not expecting young Japanese women in maid costumes to be much more than a 30 second youtube diversion. Now I'm like a teenager who can't wait for the next online B-M concert to start (Aug 16!). The GAP as they have it, or an ironic statement about not judging by appearances, just adds to their super hero status.
There is a old school drummer who gave Akane his seal of approval so they are doing something right.
Discovering Band-Maid a few months ago, and listening to/watching these ladies every day has kept me way more positive and upbeat than I would have been without having found them, given all that 2020 has brought so far. I'm a massive fan now - despite not usually being a particularly big rock fan (late 80s/early 90s for a while I was a bit of a fan). Great seeing their popularity increasing by the day.
OMg, you were so right about that bass playing, so freaking awesome....love this band
Fun! 'Tis why we Maidiacs love our Band-Maid! Band-Maid live is really amazing!
Great reaction. Feel the same way. Rock and Roll
For these girls, solo is like an inevitable existence, like breathing. At the same time, they are the band I've seen most enjoy live performances.
Thank your react~
This was THE ONE. This reaction video is what introduced me to Band-Maid in the summer of 2020. I come back and watch it from time to time to re-live the experience of hearing them the first time :)
Watched your Band-Maid induction in reversed order, but again... I wasn't sure how I would like them, but they're definitely groing on me!
Ha, told ya you would love this band :P. Glad you gave in to the requests (I saw my comment in the video too x3). And as promised this is another reaction/comment/message to your reaction :P.
This one and "Take Me Higher "live grabbed me and there was no turning back.
Welcome to the Band Maid Experience sir. Im sure you're gonna like more songs from them 😉 looking forward for more reaction vids. Keep it up nice vid 😁😁
Greetings from the Philippines
imho DICE (and the great MV) is the perfect introduction/first song for band-maid. Not too crazy, everybodys got their moment to shine, awesome catchy vibes and you can venture in any direction from here on to discover loads of great stuff from them. Help the pigeon to conquer and dominate the world! 🕊️🖤✌️
Great reaction. You picked a great first song from them as well as this one represents their sound and style really well. "Fun, upbeat rock and roll" was my exact reaction the first time hearing this. Slick editing too btw, which I'm not normally in to overproduced stuff but you pulled it off. I saw you're doing Domination live too which I'm sure you'll like as well, so recommend Blooming MV and Freedom Live (Feb 2020) next. The rabbit hole is calling.
And I will answer! 🤘
All the musicians are insanely good in this band! I was lucky enough to see them live in London a couple years ago and they really are amazing live! So many good songs it's hard to pick, but Domination live in Feb this year is good. Also 'Don't you tell me" live is amazing
oh just realised you did Domination haha! Good man
And another one welcome to the rabbit hole of Japanese music world :D
Now you have to try Lovebites and Unlucky Morpheus :D
And don't forget that there will be a live stream concert on 16 august :D
you are going to love this band one of my favorite bands right now these girls ROCK !!
Loved you loving them! Found them in February...still blown away daily! Saw Deep Purple, Zepp, and others live in the 70s so I have a bit of experience listening to great music but you are a musician and so glad you liked them.
Everyone's so busy in this band and I fucking love it!
That was sweet!!! Freaking ladies are good!
Misa the barefoot assassin is the best female rock Bassist! This group kicks ass! Akane on drums is a monster on those skins
Welcome to the fandom. Band Maid is the best rock band out right now. Check out the following songs by them: Thrill, Bubble & Blooming (Music Vidn). Also: Take Me Higher, Moratorium & Turn Me On (live vids)
Well we got another one!! Band-Maid!!
Multiple solos conected in many of their songs. I havent seen that in any band before.Amazing
Tank, you have to listen to "DOMINATION" live on BAND-MAID's YT channel. Awesome song with a multi instrument solos breakdown that's sooo good it'll melt your brain.
I did. Released my reaction to it 15 minutes after this one.
@@TankTheTech. You did exactly the right thing to do 🙂👍
I rewatched this video a few times since its release. its the end of november 2021 and your beard is so much longer now :-) i think this video changed my life in a positive way.
I have never heard of band-maid and i came here for babymetal reactions. i struggled with listening to other japanese bands but when i heard this song ... omg .. i fell in love. and i think band-maid is my all time favorite band for the rest of my life. i am from germany and we also have great musicianship here. in extremo was my favorite for all the years, you reacted to them. i apreciate that. their live performances are so freaking good. i have seen them nearly 10 times. but band-maid is like a drug. i cant stop listening to them and i just wanna say: Tank you! :-)
I saw them Live twice. They're absolute killer
These chicks rock. And they sound just as good live.
BAND-MAID Trivia: Kanami's first instrument was piano, she started playing guitar in high school and continued in university...MISA started out playing sax...and Akane was a trombone player.
The best hard rock band in the world!
As of japanese bands, i prefer SCANDAL. But Band Maid are also really good.
First of all, great reaction! I've been hooked since I first heard them. Best hard rock band around, and we Maidiacs are on a MISSION to get them the recognition they deserve! They're not only great players, but their songwriting and arranging is off the hook great. Very addicting, and they will put a sh@t eating grin on your face whether you want it there or not - every time. They always add little twists, false stops and varied musical tidbits throughout the song to keep you interested. I haven't felt this excited about a band in years. I'm sure you already have enough suggestions, but I'd add the MV of Blooming or Rinne, and live anything else from their YT page, for sure. I'd stay away from most fan cams but otherwise you can't miss. Subscribed!
I'll probably check out fan cams eventually just to see some more stuff, but for now definitely sticking to their official stuff. Thank you!
@@TankTheTech the fan cams captured some really cool shit but they have so many great songs. They are absolutely fearless and not afraid to change things up and go in different directions. Their Band Maiko April Fools videos are a great example (Secret Maiko Lips & Gioncho)
Band maid is super underrated. People won’t listen to em cus they think it’s a typical Japanese “dance band” but they play their own instruments and play some classic tunes.
Japanese "dance band"? What is that even supposed to mean? Idols?
@@cepho8349 watch any live performance for Babymetal and watch the front women just dance around and not play a single instrument lol.
@@volleyballfanatic808 Yeah, idols then. I mean, there are hundreds of proper bands in Japan. I don't see why this should come as a surprise to anyone.
@@cepho8349 I don’t see the point of your comment. I never said there weren’t proper bands in Japan. I make the argument that I’ve heard a lot of people instantly turned off to the idea of Band-Maid because their initial reaction is “Baby Metal.” That’s all I said. I listen to a lot of really good Japanese metal bands that do their own instrumentation and song writing.
Great reaction!🙂🤘🤘🤘BAND-MAID is the best!👍👍👍
Japanese musicianship is so often overlooked, from Flower Travellin' Band in the late '60's through hard rock bands such as Loudness and Vow Wow, and now Band Maid. Thanks for the heads-up!
Great reaction! Sub'd. If you love rock n roll, you're gonna love this band. The density of talent in this band is obscene.
Nice job, Tank. Really enjoyed that, thank you for doing BAND-MAID!
MISA! MISA! MISA!
Holding the line in Solid Guitar Rock, Band Maid has picked up the Mantel of Rock'n'Roll where the West has left it behind!
More Band Maid Always!!
Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
You do Band-Maid?
I'm in!
You got a new subscriber 🤘
Take my subscribe, bro. Welcome to the funhouse.
Just going through older videos, to see where and how it started (Sabaton sharing your reaction to 'Bismarck' was my first time on this channel and it made me stay), but I'd never thought that you're into Anime 😳
i love their "raw" oldschool rock 'n' roll sound. its nostaligia overload in a new pretty package. Best rock in the last 15 years or so
Great reaction and can't wait to hear more! I only discovered Band-Maid in March this year, but they have reignited my love of music! I haven't heard a bad song from them yet and for a relatively new band (formed in 2013) they have a huge discography to choose from. They are also doing a live stream performance on the 16th of August which I'd highly recommend checking out if you can. They did one a few weeks ago and it was of the highest quality!
As for songs to react to next I'd highly recommend 'Puzzle' live, but it's incredibly hard to find a performance on RUclips as their record label is quick on the block button for unofficial content. You can react to their instrumental from their official channel called 'onset' ruclips.net/video/mVrN-j_Uc0U/видео.html I've seen bands that have played together for 20+ years unable to reach the quality Band-Maid possess. They're a very special band! Po!
I can’t wait for you to see their live stuff, I’d recommend “ONSET” or “DOMINATION” 🤘
My reaction to the live version of "Domination" is also up now!
I can tell by your smile and eyes that you are hooked. Welcome :)
You should give listen to Freedom live. They are smiling and jamming and the audience is into it also.
I like this kind of rock. I been watching them for about five years. I seen them live. Awesome show. They have fun with the audience.

Your reaction to my new favourite band just earned you a new subscriber from the UK. Cheers!
Thanks a ton!
I'm glad your reactions. Welcome to BM world.
They've come a loooong way watching this and feel it's simple and basic. They were already great musicians back then, so how can I describe them now?
You will love freedom, onset, thrill...etc. three great songs to check this band out.
It always amazes me no matter what style or genre they play (or mash up) their music flows and is connected, nothing out of place. Band Maid is a great band all around.
Great review Tank, you get it ! Will subscribe, and look fwd to your next reviews. Welcome to THE MAIDIACS CLUB Yes, the bass player when asked about their style ,,,, and she said...Rock n Roll. However they play a few style and even their acoustic tracks have heart-breaker vocals even though in Japanese, emotion is still all there and more exposed. Try Rinne for a hard garage rock with retro style clip. They have some big fans , eg Jimmy Page.
BTW, I almost forgot about BAND-MAIKO. Without spoiling the surprise, please to react to them next time you want to do Band-Maid again. "Secret MAIKO Lips" or "Gion-Cho", your choice.
been back on a band maid kick and I love Tank as well so rewatching this. Crazy how far Tank has come in his production. The audio and video is so night and day haha.
Band-Maid is awesome! I've been hooked on them since 2018 and it's so cool to see others just discovering them enjoying them too. Great reaction video Tank! Exactly how i felt! You should listen to "Blooming", you will be mind blown even more. As they say, good music translates through all languages even if you don''t understand the language!
And they play just as good live! Hope you check out their live shows too.
BAND MAID "PUZZEL"😍
Dude! Loved your reaction. Welcome to the Band Maid Train! All aboooaaard!
CHOO CHOO!!!
I just wanted to say that your reaction videos to band-maid are an absolute blast to watch whenever I get feeling low I know that I can just pull up one of your band-maid reactions and get back into the swing of things!!
Nice to hear an opened minded musicians reaction . I felt exactly the same the first time i heard them . They are every persons R&R and they have no weak points , none and go from strength to strength
Happy you put in Girugämesh as the intro music! I love the guys and I've already seen them several times at their European tours: they're killer!🤘🏽
Also, Band-Maid are awesome. Haven't seen them yet live 😢 but hope I'll catch tickets for one of their upcoming shows.
Music that makes you happy😀
The song "Carry on living" from their World Domination album was used in the anime "Kuizu Tokiko-san" (Ending theme)
I love the musicianship and writing of their songs, almost all songs have a base solo, a drum solo and a guitar solo, ROCK HEAVEN 🤟🤟
Welcome to the Rabbit Hole and you are going to enjoy the ride coz this band will take you through a wonderful ride. Nice Reaction 🤙
They are a force to deal with ... they are all accomplished musicians and her singing is spot on ...
These Ladies kick all metal bands Asses !
Hi from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷Tank!! This band is amazing!! Great sound and performance!!!
Found your reaction vids from your Band-Maid reactions. So cool to see a musical pro reacting this way. Will def check out more of your stuff! Do more Band-Maid also!
I've seen a lot of reaction youtubers and you are the best. I love that you know about music and go in depth on the tone and gear and provide insight most others wouldn't know. Great stuff
Thank you so much! Hopefully it just gets better over time as I'm still pretty new to this.
Check out their "On set" instrumental number - Apr 13th 2018 - plenty of sick solos!. They must have the happiest drummer ever! Check out the guitarists pulling faces at her to "try" to put her off (same song London 2019)!?
"We are not a pop or idol band. Judge us by our sound." That's a direct quote from small pigeon. Enjoy the show Sunday the 16th.
Havent had a band capture me like this in years!
5:35 my favorite moment of this song .. i want to shout out my happiness after this great bass solo and the beginning of this incredible guitar solo.
It feels like a fast car on a free road :)
