I hope that one day I will watch a video of BAND-MAID performing at River Plate in front of 80,000 berserk Argentinian fans. It is the ultimate gig for any Rock band. If anyone deserves it, it is our lovely maids ... and the Argentinian fans, who have been rock-crazy for decades and have earned their reputation as the Best Crowd in the World, derserve it, too. *BAND-MAID Forever!*
I think it is a Wonderful thing for any of the MAID'S to play a Concert on their Birthday ! when they could be doing something else , but no , the show the FAN'S alot of respect !
This video of Band-Maid's entire US tour is actually well done! I've had the pleasure to go see them at the House of Blues in San Diego, & they are exactly as we see them in each of those shows. They're nothing but amazing, & I would like to see them again for another US tour in the future. My first Band-Maid show in San Diego won't be my last.
Everyone can understand why Akane cried. With the warm support of the audience, they have managed to complete a tough schedule. However, the fun US tour is over.
Yeah. The rhythm of 6 concerts in 8 days at the end of their tour was exhausting. Added to the sensitivity of this song and the fact that it was the last concert can explain her too full of emotion. Akane and the Maids are human after all.
Dang who got the clip of the new jersey banana catch?! That was me!!! I was the banana hero of New Jersey I kept the banana and encased it in resin hehe
I attended the show in Phoenix. Akane's "moment" happened on my side of the stage. One of my pics has Kanami taking a picture, her expression is priceless. My caption read, "Kanami's thoughts, this will never happen again!" Or something like that lol. The club like environment made sure that I will never forget the night Band Maid came to town,
You can watch all of the videos you want but until you are in the presence of these beautiful ladies it's just not the same. I will never forget this first time but I hope it's not my last! "Long Live Band Maid"
Saw them at Irving Plaza and they burned down the house. That last clip of Akane getting emotional in Chicago was beautiful. I want to add that the maids gave it their all during a really aggressive schedule, with an added date in a theme park in NJ. A last minute venue on what should have been a rest day for them. Saiki was a trooper though out as she needs the most time to recover her vocal chords. Wishing all the maids some well earned time off.
I saw them at a small venue in Phoenix, Arizona Oct 19th, only 500 people. You could feel the love between the band and their fans. If they ever play close to where you are DON’T MISS THEM. It was great that my daughter shared the fun with me. One of my favorite all time concert experiences.
By all accounts a very successful tour. After almost 3 years with no live shows this must have seemed like a dream for the ladies. World Domination is one step closer!
I was at the Seattle show, it was great. I just wish I could have followed them and seen all their shows because I know it's going to be a long time before they come back. Also, since Seattle was the first show they hadn't gotten their feet under them yet. It's great to see how they progressed and got more comfortable. Love you ladies a lot. Thank you for the wonderful memories.
I attended Aftershock fest and the San Francisco serving. Both were soo amazing and so fun. Singing Happy Birthday to Misa at the top of my lungs with all the fans and friends was a moment I'll not soon forget. I can not wait for them to bring us more new music and to return to our shores.
That was a lot of fun, thanks Ohrenje. I have so much footage saved for when the weather gets bad so I can sit and enjoy all the cams. Thanks to you and everyone that shared their Band-Maid moments with us.
I think what BAND-MAID showed in their US tour is the traits that Japanese people possess. They are "diligence, not being conceited, kindness, respect for others, cooperation, tireless effort, and training in one's skills," etc. For example, Being a star but does not be celebrity. Respect each other without being forward. And they aim to be more professional. I think these are the so-called "virtues of the Japanese. The ladies embodied these virtues with their own bodies. I believe that their effort and kindness have struck a chord with people around the world. It seems that maid costumes are also understood as a symbol of kindness and heartfelt service. This kind of fun and heart-to-heart exchange is something that has probably never existed in the bad and rough Rock gigs of the past. And the world realized, "BAND-MAID's new age Rock is so much fun! 😄😆". I think that is the answer to the question "What happened?
If I had ony one thing to pick among the many, that also - incidentally - I tend to associate with virtues of Japanese people, to thank the maids, is true honesty and true respect. Not apparent deference, but respect; things that actually matter in relations among people. In their case, this includes: never trying to manipulate us, never simply pleasing the shallowest expectations of the public (they are very mindful of us, but ultimately they compose and play the music they want to, the way they want to, when they want to), never fabricating stuff (unless it's clearly for fun, like an on-stage joke, of course) - or subtly coercing their public into some direction. We are treated, to put it bluntly, actually... as adults; it might sound very silly, but that's - my subjective impression - just by itself - way more than many so called "celebrities" (or sheep-herding influencers) do. It really impresses me every time. I think that if I ever met one of them, I'd feel the need to say "thank you", first and foremost.
The concept of service to one's fans is not as developed here in western culture. They are making music and performing with the fans in mind, and we love them for it. The fact that western men find Japanese women beautiful no doubt is part of the appeal. So combine beautiful talented women, playing music that men like, in maid's outfits while serving the fans and you get a popular band in the West. I don't think Band Maid really understands their potential here yet. If they dial up the sexiness just a little bit more, they will have us going out our minds.

But when they play, they instantly transform into Rock stars. The audience is impressed by this gap. In Japan, this is called "Gap Moe" ("Moe" means Love and Inspiration)
@@word4you I totally understand what you are saying. First and foremost Band Maid fans I think react to the musicianship and creativity of the band. In a nut shell, I think if Band Maid turned the Kawaii down just a little and played into Misa and Saiki's sexiness a tiny bit more, they would break out faster. Here in the west sexual appeal goes hat in hand with rock culture. Miyavi really understands this (and takes it to 11). I think Band Maid is going for Kawaii but by throwing in a pinch more swagger they can season their act more for western audiences.
My only two regrets about Band-Maid are not knowing about this incredible group of talented musicians before they toured Europe and not having the financial position to see them when they were finally able to break out from the pandemic and share their brilliance with us. Thank you everyone that was involved in this video and all the other great content that has been shared on this and other platforms.
Ive been to quite a few concerts and this one is by far the most fun I've had in any of them, I went to the house of blue in Houston concert after a 7 hour drive and was amazed at the audience interaction. Durring one of Kanami's talks she asked us if we were tired. Me, actually being pretty exhausted from sitting in a car all day, responded with "never" shouting at the top of my lungs, which unpromptly cause Saiki to pick up her microphone and shout "never" back to me. And that moment alone was worth the combined 14 hr travel time I made to go see them.
The human aspect of BAND-MAID has alway's been the overall appeal and what makes them special,it's nice to see them handle little mistakes and adaptation to an occasional technical mishap❤️🎀🎶🎵🇯🇵🎸♾️
Great summary of BAND-MAID's US tour I've almost seen all the video footage of this tour and it really felt like I was in the audience. Also, Kanami had the idea of signing the banana peel before Akane throws it to the audience. Very smart Mincho! Thanks to everyone involved in the making of this video and also, to everyone who made and share footage of the tour without disturbing or obstructing Ryan Mear's view :)
Mate! Greetings from Shizuoka City under the benign care of a whitening Mount Fuji! A BIG THANKS and looking forward for more! You are already part of the Band Maid followers legends! Best regards, Robert-Gilles
This band has an incredible sense of entertainment. Starting with Miku. She involves the others in a stage performance which is not limited to a single concert of rock music but to a real show, which becomes unique with each performance. Unforgettable, for those lucky enough to attend. Thank you Ohrenje.👍
Fan Bloody Tastic, Breaking New Gate Productions (dig that name btw) does it again, a huge thanks to all involved and man wouldn't I love to be a fly on the wall when the Maids see this. Another wonderful BM tribute from your hard work 🤗 Viva the Maids peace and love Po 👍🎼🥁🎸🎤🍻
I've been to shows on the 2 past tours and 5 this time. Starting in LA and ending in Chicago. They all really bloomed as performers throughout this tour. I could see them bonding more and more with the audience and vice versa. We became part of the show. The fan cams were a big part of that. And you caught some of that here. Good job.
Beautiful moments provided by beautiful people to beautiful fans. Thank You. I'm in the UK, but the atmosphere created by US fans is going to take some beating. Thank you to them too.
I still can't get over the fact that I heard these girls with my own ears and saw them with my own eyes. I love seeing videos of them and streams and what have you, but sharing a physical space with them is something I never thought would happen.
Awesome. I know what happened. Many new friendships were forged, many reunions took place & many 1,000's of people had the time of their lives. And that is all thx to the Maids.
Wow man.. This is next level phenomenal content. I love how you highlighted little details like Saiki and Akane playing a game during Omajinai time. Such a beautiful summary of the tour. And ending with Akane crying during Endless Story was such a powerful way to end the video and represent the tour and how much it meant to the maids. Do any other bands in history have such a perfect blend of entertaining banter and activities between the songs, combined with immense talent and respect for their audience. Even after a year and a half, this band still feels imaginary. They're just TOO perfect. Thanks for putting this together Ohrenje. You are amazing dude.
I really hope they do return to the UK soon because their stage presence and performances are something else. I'd even go all the way to London to see them! Thank you for sharing all these cool clips, especially that last one of Akane :)
They are doing what they were born to do!! The amazing thing is they were all strangers to Miku when she created the band. One of the great moments in Rock history is when Saiki did not walk out after seeing her maid costume and meeting Miku. She knew how good they were.
BandMaid are an impossible blend of ultra-intense technique and professionalism--and fun and good humour.!! ----How rarely do these two things go together ? ! Wish them all the best in coming years--they deserve the best !
Also their ability to compose, to write songs. And on top of that, group dynamics. I suppose that’s where the fun and humor comes from. They are pretty much everything the Beatles had on their best day.
For someone who is new to video production, this is tremendous. The synchronization of the various fancam clips is flawless. And I got to see some new stuff like Akane being the mic cable jockey, or her and Saiki playing patty cake - it's moments like these that make them more than just a collection of talented musicians. Obviously hours upon hours of effort went into making this and all of your tributes to Band-Maid - a labor of love no doubt! We appreciate you (and them) very much.
Let me the first to say what an amazing job you guys did on this trip down memory lane. I just wish it could have been longer. That said I just want to say Thank You.
As much as I would love to see them in arena tour and things, I hope they never stop doing the smaller venues. It was such an honor to see them live here in DC. Best show I have ever seen in my life, and it's because of how they interacted with the crowd. I hope they know how much they are loved and adored. But one of the best things to me, was the crowd themselves. Someone down in the comments said it best "Many new friendships were forged, many reunions took place & many 1,000's of people had the time of their lives" I could not have said this better myself. Great video and thanks for the memories that will be around till RUclips shuts down!
I totally agree with you. I really hope that they'll continue to perform in small venues, that's the best experience for fans to be close to them live.
Some of the smaller venues on the latest tour have a max capacity of 500 people. This year will probably be the last time you will be able to see them in such an intimate setting.
I hope there is a UK tour one day, I've been watching some of the fan videos from the US and they look like fun. Kanami is so cute and funny, it's good to see she's getting more involved with the crowd interactions.
I love their music but I have got to love the mcs just as much. They are exceptional. Their work rate is prodigeous, perhaps a little too much for Kanami towards the end of the tour, but she never stops riffing. Five wonderfully talented ladies that deserve every success.
Brother, thank you for this video. I’ve been a metal head since ‘91 and I like my fair share of thrash and hard rock but I’m blaming myself for living under a rock, why did I just know about Band-Maid recently? These young ladies are super talented and they just invigorated the metal scene! I’m happy that they love their craft and I can see how they love performing as well. I hope that these wonderful ladies do take some time off when possible to help preserve their health. Can I also add that the US fans did a great job! You guys made the ladies feel very loved and appreciated. Given the hectic tour dates and the toll it took on them it was enough to make Akane cry. She really was emotional at the genuine outpouring of love and support from the US fans!🤘🏻🤘🏻
👍That was just... brilliant! Thank you Ohrenje, and to all involved, for putting it together, sharing the original clips and, ofc, uploading it for us all to enjoy👍
Great highlight reel from the different servings. I was at Dallas and what a serving it was. This is the most fun I have ever had at a concert. This band performs with love. And that being Miku's birthday made it even more special. Saiki is always teasing Po. Seems to be a running gag because someone was not told about maid uniforms until the dress rehearsal before the first serving with all 5 members. Miku didn't tell Saiki because she thought she wouldn't wear the maid outfit thus springing it on her at the last minute. Saiki wore the maid outfit and the rest is history. She tells the story as how she was deceived by a pigeon. The teasing is good humored among the members. Saw highlights from one show where Saiki called Po 'Big Pigeon'. Miku said, "No. Po not 'Big Pigeon'. Po 'Little Pigeon'." Just hilarious. They do get each other in trouble, though. And they and their Masters and Princesses get a big laugh when they do. All for fun. What a show. What a show.
Thank you for the video 👍. Thanks to all of the pepole who recorded them live. This is a Very Special Band. The more videos are there, the more timeless BAND-MAID would be. Oh, men... don't hit me with Akane like that 😭🙏😭
I love these ladies so much. And when I saw Akane's emotions at the end of the tour, I found another level of affection for them. Such talent, so much fun, so much GREAT music, how can you not love them? Saw them in Dallas, can't wait for the next tour. Edit: A few of the earlier comments to this wonderful post say that BM needs to turn up their sex appeal in order to become more popular. I totally disagree. I believe their management company initially envisioned them as a sexy girl group, example the first Thrill MV. But the ladies have actually turned down the sexy-ness aspect. Note Misa now wears a full-length instead of the short skirt and platform shoes, Kanami no longer wears the shorty with the thigh-high stockings, Saiki no longer with the garter straps and fish net hose.. And I think this actually has a profound effect of making them more attractive and more respected. This band is MY band.
I was at the New Jersey show and them interacting with the audience was just as fun as them playing. They've gotten more comfortable speaking English and interacting with the audience.
These amazing young women have brought positivity and most of all FUN back into hard rock. They are the most endearing group of rockers I have ever listened to. I have adopted them and deeply appreciate their wonderful attitude and high level of musicianship. They cheers me up whenever I see them. I would even say that they are one of the best bands in the world. So proud of them!
Great video! I attended the Phoenix show and it was definitely one of the best nights I've ever had!! I hope I get the chance to see them again because they are so worth it!!!!!
This is beautiful, man. Loved it. Akane was crying cause she knew I didn't make it to the show. In my mind. Keep up the great work. Arigato gozaimasu senpai. 🥰
Well done! You brought so many special, memorable moments to this presentation! I'm so glad I got to see two shows on this tour, the memories will last a lifetime! I brought my grand daughter to the Dallas show and she was impressed and loved the outfits of the Maid's! The Miku "Say" time was so fun, she was happily surprised by the show of love from the fans! My other show was Phoenix, and I was maybe six feet from Kanami, right on the rail, so fun!
This is a awesome piece of work... I honestly think that this could be a 17 minutes delightful teaser for a special 2 hours blu-ray documentary about the whole Band-Maid US tour released by them with a full live show on a second blu-ray inside a well crafted box with a photobook, Kanami, MISA and Miku's picks as extra gifts and eventually called "Band-Maid Live OkyUS-ji 2022" or "Servin' USA" or simply "Maid In USA"... The Voice narration could very well be Kasper's - it would be perfect! Band-Maid is my fav band on top of any band, each one of them is awesome... Even when you have a fav band member is just impossible not to be amazed by each one in different moments. It's wonderful to see how much of what is Band-Maid is due to these 5 ladies and not some marketing strategy. Thank you for all this great work!
Terrific tour wrap-up! Man, I know they’re just normal ladies beneath the stage personas, but Akane in tears just seems abnormal and wrong! Tearing my heart up over here!💪🏻🤘🏻
Pretty sure those were tears of joy as she got caught up in the moment during the last show of the tour. I'm sure they feel how much love we have for them. It tore up my heart too.
I think she got caught up and overcome by the sound of the crowd singing along. Then realised it was the last show and that was too much for her to hold back.
This is so damn awesome!, what a great, funny, heartwarming and emotional ride... this freakin band, am i right? Thanks for making this video, i loved every minute
Fantastic wrap up...just awesome! All of the music and MC moments are incredible. So glad I got the chance to experience some of these moments in DC. Thank you Ohrenje, as well as, a long list of others..way too many to name...so much respect to all!🤘
17 minutes plus of nothing but heartwarming moments. Great musicianship, awesome songs and wonderful individuals - never seen and listened to a band that complete.
I was at the Houston show and I’ve never been to a concert with such genuine and happy moments throughout the show. I definitely want to see them again ❤️
Forgetting lyrics happens to us all but can you imagine trying to remember something in a different language? I find it funny and forgivable. Keep rocking ladies. Love what you do.
wow that is so amazing! knowing that every show had something different makes it all that much more special. I go to a lot of concert and usually I find that with other performers (won't name any) that they will have the same exact setlist and even the mc part is almost identical.. some people may not think is a big deal..but I just think it makes them even more genuine and just shows how much they love mucic and performing.
I absolutely know that feeling to have that type of support! I am a new fan of Band-Maid and this video really made a lot of things clear about them and we are fans. Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much Ohrenje ans Kasper for putting this together. I was blessed enough to see them in Seattle and Phoenix. There was a progression so that by Phoenix they were more comfortable performing and it showed. Miku's heartfelt thank you to the fans for her being able to "hear your voice" made me cry just like this compilation did. Thanks again. I am now counting the days until Tokyo! Domo Arigato!
Thank you for the wonderful video. First of all, I don't understand why the evaluation of the musicality of the band maid's songs, the technique of playing each instrument and the singing ability are not so high in the United States. They are the top level bands in the world today, and I think they support rock (including hard rock). Add to that the attitude of enjoying contact with various customers, and I think it's the best band in the world. Above all, the 5 band members are very close, and the best thing is that they really enjoy playing.
Sorry took so long to get to this I was at the Chicago show and I'm 62 my bucket list is complete I got to see the living legends known as band maid and I'll never forget it truly amazing
I LOVED seeing our Maids in Houston! I was supposed to see them in Dallas in 2019, but cancer had other intentions. It was sn incredible show, our Maids showed up and cleaned house! My ONLY complaint was how HORRIBLE the sound system was at the HoB in Houston. Their next US tour needs stops at a lil venue in St. Paul, MN at the Turf Club, they have a bad ass sound system, but only 600 people could attend. Another great place to play would be in Moline, IL at The Rust Belt, they have an INCREDIBLE sound system that can rumble subsonics as well!! And they can hold a couple thousand there. It will be a blessing to these ladies again.

They may exaggerate some aspects on stage, but they are not lying. They have good background.
"They don't try to manipulate us. They don't try to meet the shallow expectations of the masses."
And yet, they create and express themselves well.
I especially like the phrase, "They treat us as grown-up people."
They are rock stars, but not stereotypes.
By the way, how are you? I couldn't see your account and was very concerned.
I apologize if I have put pressure on you.

I think they are not sex symbols.
They are ladies with respect for the fans.
Still, I'm sure there are a lot of men who go to heaven with SAI-chan's "choose me! ♫" stage attack😆
When they're not playing, they're just regular pretty girls.
But when they play, they instantly transform into Rock stars.
The audience is impressed by this gap.
In Japan, this is called "Gap Moe"
("Moe" means Love and Inspiration)
@@word4you I totally understand what you are saying. First and foremost Band Maid fans I think react to the musicianship and creativity of the band. In a nut shell, I think if Band Maid turned the Kawaii down just a little and played into Misa and Saiki's sexiness a tiny bit more, they would break out faster. Here in the west sexual appeal goes hat in hand with rock culture. Miyavi really understands this (and takes it to 11). I think Band Maid is going for Kawaii but by throwing in a pinch more swagger they can season their act more for western audiences.
My only two regrets about Band-Maid are not knowing about this incredible group of talented musicians before they toured Europe and not having the financial position to see them when they were finally able to break out from the pandemic and share their brilliance with us.
Thank you everyone that was involved in this video and all the other great content that has been shared on this and other platforms.
Oh my God Akane 😔 don't worry we won't forget the fun we had and you'll be back sometime!
Ive been to quite a few concerts and this one is by far the most fun I've had in any of them, I went to the house of blue in Houston concert after a 7 hour drive and was amazed at the audience interaction. Durring one of Kanami's talks she asked us if we were tired. Me, actually being pretty exhausted from sitting in a car all day, responded with "never" shouting at the top of my lungs, which unpromptly cause Saiki to pick up her microphone and shout "never" back to me. And that moment alone was worth the combined 14 hr travel time I made to go see them.
That's a tell your grandkids moment.
The human aspect of BAND-MAID has alway's been the overall appeal and what makes them special,it's nice to see them handle little mistakes and adaptation to an occasional technical mishap❤️🎀🎶🎵🇯🇵🎸♾️
Great summary of BAND-MAID's US tour
I've almost seen all the video footage of this tour and it really felt like I was in the audience.
Also, Kanami had the idea of signing the banana peel before Akane throws it to the audience. Very smart Mincho!
Thanks to everyone involved in the making of this video and also, to everyone who made and share footage of the tour without disturbing or obstructing Ryan Mear's view :)
Mate!
Greetings from Shizuoka City under the benign care of a whitening Mount Fuji!
A BIG THANKS and looking forward for more! You are already part of the Band Maid followers legends!
Best regards,
Robert-Gilles
How can you not fall in love with them?
Thank you for making this. I could even hear myself yell, “PO!” During the Happy Birthday song. That person recording must have been right next to me.
Wonderful video Ohrenje and K Michaels. Thank you, so much!
This band has an incredible sense of entertainment. Starting with Miku. She involves the others in a stage performance which is not limited to a single concert of rock music but to a real show, which becomes unique with each performance. Unforgettable, for those lucky enough to attend. Thank you Ohrenje.👍
Fan Bloody Tastic, Breaking New Gate Productions (dig that name btw) does it again, a huge thanks to all involved and man wouldn't I love to be a fly on the wall when the Maids see this. Another wonderful BM tribute from your hard work 🤗 Viva the Maids peace and love Po 👍🎼🥁🎸🎤🍻
"I don't happy!" - Miku Kobato
😂 Miku was so funny at the Philly show! ⭐️👊😆
I've been to shows on the 2 past tours and 5 this time. Starting in LA and ending in Chicago. They all really bloomed as performers throughout this tour. I could see them bonding more and more with the audience and vice versa. We became part of the show. The fan cams were a big part of that. And you caught some of that here. Good job.
Beautiful moments provided by beautiful people to beautiful fans. Thank You. I'm in the UK, but the atmosphere created by US fans is going to take some beating. Thank you to them too.
We've got our work cut out
Another great vid! Thanks for your work Ohrenje, Kasper and translators, we appreciate you all.
Ohrenje,Thank you for summarizing the state of the US tour. Also, thank you to those who provided fancams.From one japanese fan.
ありがとうございます👍
I still can't get over the fact that I heard these girls with my own ears and saw them with my own eyes. I love seeing videos of them and streams and what have you, but sharing a physical space with them is something I never thought would happen.
Thanks for putting this together Ohrenje. My only stop was Dallas but glad I could contribute a tiny part of that was the sea of everyone’s efforts. ❤
Awesome. I know what happened. Many new friendships were forged, many reunions took place & many 1,000's of people had the time of their lives. And that is all thx to the Maids.
😄👍🍻🍻
Well I wasn't crying before. Thanks Gary.
👏🏻👍🏻🤘🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
They bring some funny cultural comedy to us , which most of us has never experienced ! you gave us much love 💖😘 and thank you !
Wow man.. This is next level phenomenal content. I love how you highlighted little details like Saiki and Akane playing a game during Omajinai time. Such a beautiful summary of the tour. And ending with Akane crying during Endless Story was such a powerful way to end the video and represent the tour and how much it meant to the maids. Do any other bands in history have such a perfect blend of entertaining banter and activities between the songs, combined with immense talent and respect for their audience. Even after a year and a half, this band still feels imaginary. They're just TOO perfect.
Thanks for putting this together Ohrenje. You are amazing dude.
What Wave said ! Thank you Ohrenje for this beautiful video tribute collage of their 2022 U.S. Tour !
Akane crying always makes it a seem a bit dusty in here
I actually cried watching it.
So glad you got to see them live Wave along with Ryan and all the other guys.
I'm super jealous dude.
I really hope they do return to the UK soon because their stage presence and performances are something else. I'd even go all the way to London to see them! Thank you for sharing all these cool clips, especially that last one of Akane :)
Thank you for the credit!!!! I'm so happy to share my clips with everyone 😃 😊 😀
They are doing what they were born to do!! The amazing thing is they were all strangers to Miku when she created the band. One of the great moments in Rock history is when Saiki did not walk out after seeing her maid costume and meeting Miku. She knew how good they were.
最高の動画編集ありがとう‼️世界に届け！
感動した！
ご支援ありがとうございました。
BandMaid are an impossible blend of ultra-intense technique and professionalism--and fun and good humour.!!
----How rarely do these two things go together ? !
Wish them all the best in coming years--they deserve the best !
Also their ability to compose, to write songs. And on top of that, group dynamics. I suppose that’s where the fun and humor comes from. They are pretty much everything the Beatles had on their best day.
Thank you for the wonderful memories of the BAND-MAID US tour. So we can't help but like them. We need road movies.
From your mouth to the record label's ear
For someone who is new to video production, this is tremendous. The synchronization of the various fancam clips is flawless. And I got to see some new stuff like Akane being the mic cable jockey, or her and Saiki playing patty cake - it's moments like these that make them more than just a collection of talented musicians. Obviously hours upon hours of effort went into making this and all of your tributes to Band-Maid - a labor of love no doubt! We appreciate you (and them) very much.
Let me the first to say what an amazing job you guys did on this trip down memory lane. I just wish it could have been longer. That said I just want to say Thank You.
Thank you, Akane-sama. Same back at you, Po! ♥🦍🤗 Note to self: Next time, GO to all of Band Maid concerts, not just 5.
As much as I would love to see them in arena tour and things, I hope they never stop doing the smaller venues. It was such an honor to see them live here in DC. Best show I have ever seen in my life, and it's because of how they interacted with the crowd. I hope they know how much they are loved and adored.
But one of the best things to me, was the crowd themselves. Someone down in the comments said it best "Many new friendships were forged, many reunions took place & many 1,000's of people had the time of their lives" I could not have said this better myself.
Great video and thanks for the memories that will be around till RUclips shuts down!
I totally agree with you. I really hope that they'll continue to perform in small venues, that's the best experience for fans to be close to them live.
Some of the smaller venues on the latest tour have a max capacity of 500 people. This year will probably be the last time you will be able to see them in such an intimate setting.
I hope there is a UK tour one day, I've been watching some of the fan videos from the US and they look like fun. Kanami is so cute and funny, it's good to see she's getting more involved with the crowd interactions.
Awesome vid created by Ohrenje again and thanks for all the fancams showing the fantastic times we had with Band Maid during their shows in US!
Perfect way to end a fantastic video. I'm not crying, something is in my eye. 😢
Saw them in Philly, they were so awesome! I'm glad I got to see the Akane, Misa, and Saiki moments
I love their music but I have got to love the mcs just as much. They are exceptional. Their work rate is prodigeous, perhaps a little too much for Kanami towards the end of the tour, but she never stops riffing. Five wonderfully talented ladies that deserve every success.
Brother, thank you for this video. I’ve been a metal head since ‘91 and I like my fair share of thrash and hard rock but I’m blaming myself for living under a rock, why did I just know about Band-Maid recently?
These young ladies are super talented and they just invigorated the metal scene! I’m happy that they love their craft and I can see how they love performing as well. I hope that these wonderful ladies do take some time off when possible to help preserve their health.
Can I also add that the US fans did a great job! You guys made the ladies feel very loved and appreciated. Given the hectic tour dates and the toll it took on them it was enough to make Akane cry. She really was emotional at the genuine outpouring of love and support from the US fans!🤘🏻🤘🏻
👍That was just... brilliant!
Thank you Ohrenje, and to all involved, for putting it together, sharing the original clips and, ofc, uploading it for us all to enjoy👍
that was a lot of fun. thanks for the amazing work that went in to that Ohrenge
Great highlight reel from the different servings.
I was at Dallas and what a serving it was. This is the most fun I have ever had at a concert. This band performs with love. And that being Miku's birthday made it even more special.
Saiki is always teasing Po. Seems to be a running gag because someone was not told about maid uniforms until the dress rehearsal before the first serving with all 5 members. Miku didn't tell Saiki because she thought she wouldn't wear the maid outfit thus springing it on her at the last minute. Saiki wore the maid outfit and the rest is history. She tells the story as how she was deceived by a pigeon.
The teasing is good humored among the members. Saw highlights from one show where Saiki called Po 'Big Pigeon'. Miku said, "No. Po not 'Big Pigeon'. Po 'Little Pigeon'." Just hilarious.
They do get each other in trouble, though. And they and their Masters and Princesses get a big laugh when they do. All for fun. What a show. What a show.
Every time I watch your videos, your kindness to BandMaid members makes me as happy as if it were my own.😃😊
Thank you for the video 👍. Thanks to all of the pepole who recorded them live. This is a Very Special Band. The more videos are there, the more timeless BAND-MAID would be. Oh, men... don't hit me with Akane like that 😭🙏😭
I love these ladies so much. And when I saw Akane's emotions at the end of the tour, I found another level of affection for them. Such talent, so much fun, so much GREAT music, how can you not love them? Saw them in Dallas, can't wait for the next tour.
Edit: A few of the earlier comments to this wonderful post say that BM needs to turn up their sex appeal in order to become more popular. I totally disagree. I believe their management company initially envisioned them as a sexy girl group, example the first Thrill MV. But the ladies have actually turned down the sexy-ness aspect. Note Misa now wears a full-length instead of the short skirt and platform shoes, Kanami no longer wears the shorty with the thigh-high stockings, Saiki no longer with the garter straps and fish net hose.. And I think this actually has a profound effect of making them more attractive and more respected. This band is MY band.
Excellent compilation!!! Thank you so much! LIVE FOREVER BAND-MAID!!!
I was at the New Jersey show and them interacting with the audience was just as fun as them playing. They've gotten more comfortable speaking English and interacting with the audience.
Super funny(and a little bit sad) and as always with an excellent narrator. Thanks to you Ohrenje and Kaspar👏🎀
These amazing young women have brought positivity and most of all FUN back into hard rock. They are the most endearing group of rockers I have ever listened to. I have adopted them and deeply appreciate their wonderful attitude and high level of musicianship. They cheers me up whenever I see them. I would even say that they are one of the best bands in the world. So proud of them!
Wonderful video and wonderful moments shared. Thanks to all those who captured them for those of us not lucky enough to se them live..yet.
Great video! I attended the Phoenix show and it was definitely one of the best nights I've ever had!! I hope I get the chance to see them again because they are so worth it!!!!!
Going through all of the golden moments with this band would easily require a 3-hour video! 😄
Thanks Ohrenje! 😎🤘
Thank you for including the Sai-chan's Bubble moment at Chicago show. It was definitely one of the most memorable performance of this US tour👍😉
Band-Maid = a breath of fresh air in today's insane world
This is beautiful, man. Loved it. Akane was crying cause she knew I didn't make it to the show. In my mind. Keep up the great work. Arigato gozaimasu senpai. 🥰
I got something in my eye again !!!!! 🕊🍌🍻☕🚄
What, again? That's the 810th time :)
Well done! You brought so many special, memorable moments to this presentation! I'm so glad I got to see two shows on this tour, the memories will last a lifetime! I brought my grand daughter to the Dallas show and she was impressed and loved the outfits of the Maid's! The Miku "Say" time was so fun, she was happily surprised by the show of love from the fans! My other show was Phoenix, and I was maybe six feet from Kanami, right on the rail, so fun!
They played a heck of a show here in Sacramento for sure. Very talented ladies indeed.
This is a awesome piece of work... I honestly think that this could be a 17 minutes delightful teaser for a special 2 hours blu-ray documentary about the whole Band-Maid US tour released by them with a full live show on a second blu-ray inside a well crafted box with a photobook, Kanami, MISA and Miku's picks as extra gifts and eventually called "Band-Maid Live OkyUS-ji 2022" or "Servin' USA" or simply "Maid In USA"... The Voice narration could very well be Kasper's - it would be perfect!
Band-Maid is my fav band on top of any band, each one of them is awesome... Even when you have a fav band member is just impossible not to be amazed by each one in different moments. It's wonderful to see how much of what is Band-Maid is due to these 5 ladies and not some marketing strategy. Thank you for all this great work!
👏👏👏👏 Another great video Ohrenje & Kasper, keep them coming!
Glad people enjoyed it! Looking forward to the next one
Terrific tour wrap-up! Man, I know they’re just normal ladies beneath the stage personas, but Akane in tears just seems abnormal and wrong! Tearing my heart up over here!💪🏻🤘🏻
Pretty sure those were tears of joy as she got caught up in the moment during the last show of the tour. I'm sure they feel how much love we have for them. It tore up my heart too.
I was in front of Kanami. She almost cried at the end. They probably all did backstage.
@@JWPanimation
Oh for sure it wasn’t out of real sadness, but still very poignant to witness.
@@jefffromchicago6321
Real, gut wrenching emotional upheavals all the way around!
I think she got caught up and overcome by the sound of the crowd singing along. Then realised it was the last show and that was too much for her to hold back.
This is so damn awesome!, what a great, funny, heartwarming and emotional ride... this freakin band, am i right?
Thanks for making this video, i loved every minute
Fantastic wrap up...just awesome! All of the music and MC moments are incredible. So glad I got the chance to experience some of these moments in DC. Thank you Ohrenje, as well as, a long list of others..way too many to name...so much respect to all!🤘
ohrenjeさん、毎回楽しい動画を作って頂きありがとうございます！
ご視聴ありがとうございました。
17 minutes plus of nothing but heartwarming moments. Great musicianship, awesome songs and wonderful individuals - never seen and listened to a band that complete.
I was at the Houston show and I’ve never been to a concert with such genuine and happy moments throughout the show. I definitely want to see them again ❤️
Forgetting lyrics happens to us all but can you imagine trying to remember something in a different language? I find it funny and forgivable. Keep rocking ladies. Love what you do.
Thank you for putting this together , I saw them in Seattle , the show was Amazing .
wow that is so amazing! knowing that every show had something different makes it all that much more special. I go to a lot of concert and usually I find that with other performers (won't name any) that they will have the same exact setlist and even the mc part is almost identical.. some people may not think is a big deal..but I just think it makes them even more genuine and just shows how much they love mucic and performing.
I absolutely know that feeling to have that type of support! I am a new fan of Band-Maid and this video really made a lot of things clear about them and we are fans.
Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much Ohrenje ans Kasper for putting this together. I was blessed enough to see them in Seattle and Phoenix. There was a progression so that by Phoenix they were more comfortable performing and it showed. Miku's heartfelt thank you to the fans for her being able to "hear your voice" made me cry just like this compilation did. Thanks again. I am now counting the days until Tokyo! Domo Arigato!
Hilarious how Akane ate her banana by the mic as if we could hear something. Cracked me up. Hell they all crack me up - what a fun band!
These ladies are super talented and seem to be such sweethearts with a great sense of humour. Love them! PS...great video. Cheers!
excellent video, well written and pleasantly and well narrated; thank you
Thank you for the wonderful video. First of all, I don't understand why the evaluation of the musicality of the band maid's songs, the technique of playing each instrument and the singing ability are not so high in the United States. They are the top level bands in the world today, and I think they support rock (including hard rock). Add to that the attitude of enjoying contact with various customers, and I think it's the best band in the world. Above all, the 5 band members are very close, and the best thing is that they really enjoy playing.
Sorry took so long to get to this I was at the Chicago show and I'm 62 my bucket list is complete I got to see the living legends known as band maid and I'll never forget it truly amazing
I LOVED seeing our Maids in Houston! I was supposed to see them in Dallas in 2019, but cancer had other intentions. It was sn incredible show, our Maids showed up and cleaned house! My ONLY complaint was how HORRIBLE the sound system was at the HoB in Houston. Their next US tour needs stops at a lil venue in St. Paul, MN at the Turf Club, they have a bad ass sound system, but only 600 people could attend. Another great place to play would be in Moline, IL at The Rust Belt, they have an INCREDIBLE sound system that can rumble subsonics as well!! And they can hold a couple thousand there. It will be a blessing to these ladies again.
Great videos! Love the band and they were truly grateful to be here in the US. I did not get to see them this time, but I am sure they will be back.
