Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me . I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤
@@sean1728 I ended up getting VIP tickets for both the Seattle and Phoenix shows when they went on presale. They need to play in much bigger venues. I would love to see them in the Paramount Theater or even McCaw Hall, they would have no problem selling out either of those places.
Band-Maid has changed my view about music in so many different ways. I was a fan of many bands before, but i lost interest in rock, punk and metal for round about a decade. It was all the same somehow, at least IMO. So i heard DnB and i am still listening Pendulum f.e., they are still one of my favorite bands. But Band-Maid brought me back to that rockmusic that was missing a long time in my life. Of course they are also BY FAR my favorite band of all time. It is so refreshing, so versatile, so perfectly crafted and performed by ladies that really care about their craft and fans! SO MUCH talent in this band! I am so glad i gave it a listen a few years ago on RUclips! The costumes scared me a little bit at the beginning, not gonna lie, but after two songs and reading into the meaning behind their "gimmick" it made sense to me and i was just happy! Hope to see more Band-Maid reactions, you really enjoyed it and that is exactly what we all need these days, right? Greetings from Germany P.S.: Little funfact, the maids were gathering around the drummer Akane to through her off, they made funny faces to each other to distract each other, that tells you how confident they are on stage and also with each other :)
I feel that the girls gathering around Akane live and staring at each other are confirming their friendship. The shy girls make sure they're okay as usual, store energy, and devote themselves to their live performances.
My favorite part about Band-Maid is just how happy they make me. It's great music for sure, but no band makes me as happy as they do. Very excited for my first chance to see them live in October.
Well, this almost looks like we can welcome a new member to the club of 'Maidiacs'. :) When you combine energy and fun with talent and creativity, the result is this 5-piece group of young ladies who seem to effortlessly turn the rock genre inside out and revive it from the dead. At least from my point of view. Before I found this band with their MV to "Thrill" by chance a few years ago in the suggestions here on RUclips, I actually belonged to those for whom the genre was practically non-existent anymore. Just as they breathed new life into the genre, they did the same for me and rekindled an old love that is stronger than ever today. One thing needs to be mentioned though. Freedom and Domination may be their showcase performances, but if you think you've seen and heard it all with these two songs, rest assured they surprise you quite a few more times. Because there is one aspect of them I haven't mentioned above. And that would be versatility. Genre boundaries interest these ladies very little and their catalog, which now holds well over 100 songs, offers a lot of variety. A true 'wonderland' which coincidentally is also the title of a song that proves this nicely and also lets Saiki's voice shine. Another example for sure is their recently released acoustic version of their track 'Catharsis' which will only be available on their channel for a very short time. I promise you won't regret a single second of listening to these two songs. Mit den besten Grüße eines Maidiacs aus der 'Nachbarschaft' :) ----------- 「 Our rock never dies ever. Forever! 」 --- from BAND-MAID 'Manners' 🕊️
I watch their reactions from all over the world every day, and your happy reaction was very fresh. The appeal of BAND-MAID will be more demonstrated live, so it would be great if you could see it from around ""play," and "real existence."
Woohoo, that's faster than I could have dreamed of. And starting with maybe the 2 most popular live performances is not a bad idea either. :) Good choices!!! 👍🏻 Freu mich schon drauf und bin gespannt was du von ihnen hältst. 😁 ----------- 「 Our rock never dies ever. Forever! 」 --- from BAND-MAID 'Manners' 🕊️
I was impressed by your observing power and your curiosity about music. They already have high skills as musicians and respect each other, but they are always striving to grow without being conceited by it. And they always think to please the fans without compromising to make a good song. But usually they are funny girls who like mischievous and jokes. And I think their music shows a good relationship like a real sister. You're already like "Maidiac", so I suggest you react to "Catharsis Acoustic Ver." to get to know their different side. This song is one of the live songs they delivered online last year as a Christmas present for their fans, but since it's a limited-time delivery, it may be removed from their official channel at the end of this month. Best regards.
I only recently found Band-Maid and I love them already, it only took a couple of videos to see how talented they are. In my opinion the rhythm section (drums and bass) are the backbone of a band. They set the tempo of a song, the guitars and vocals add the next layer. You can tell Akane (the drummer) and Misa (the bass player) work well together as they always lay a solid beat for the songs. They are so cute in the maid costumes but the music hits hard.
Yay and welcome new fan! One of the beautiful things about Band-Maid is that no matter what drew you in, no matter what personal bias for a band member you have, you will come to appreciate more and more how amazing each of them is individually, and most importantly how amazing they are as a group. I'm not going to tell you to listen to the guitars or the vocals, because at some point you'll really notice them on your own - and how the rhythm section works with them. Especially if you're listening on headphones to hear the nuances, they can teach you about how to make great music.
@@stevehall5128 I have noticed each member gets a moment to shine with a solo (I have a soft spot for Misa and her bass riffs), and I like the back and forth you occasionally get between the bass and guitars. I also read somewhere Jimmy Page asked to meet Akane because he was impressed by her drumming and it reminded him of John Bonham. When a rock legend says your playing reminds them of another rock legend you're doing something right.
@@dragonmac1234 Have you seen her twitter when Jimmie Page visited Akane backstage in BAND-MAID? You can see her pledge to Jimmy Page that she will continue to work hard to improve her drumming techniques, along with the photos they took together.
@@dragonmac1234 There's no evidence he actually compared her to Bonham, that seems to be an embellishment by an overzealous fan that took on a life of its own. But yes, Jimmy Page asking to meet you is high praise indeed!
Yeah bass can be hard to pick out sometimes, but once you know what it sounds like on its own, you know what to look for! Misa likes to play all kinds of fun stuff too, so you start to notice all these basslines going on in there, it's awesome. (Also you almost said "base" before correcting yourself, but "base" is right! You're absorbing its powers) That transition from the full band chaos to sotto Saiki is one of my fav bits (that and her giving the crowd a thumbs up after the last call and response). The way they all take the energy down so smoothly is the best
The part you picked up on of Saiki's 'feminine' voice is closer to her normal speaking voice which is quite deep for a japanese woman. If you liked that then have a listen to Daydreaming, Awkward or Anemone where a large part of her vocals are in this low tone, it's an aspect of her vocals that can cause weekness in the knees of her fans -- me anyway.
Really nice observations. Would really recommend "Wonderland" LIVE - Official next for something I think is going to melt your heart ... in a good way ;)
YES! I'm so happy you are doing Band-Maid. I got my tickets this week too. I haven't been this excited for a concert since the first time I went to see KISS when I was like 13. I'm happy you like them as well. You'll be a full fledged "Maidiac" in no time.
Bisscute, Welcome to Band Maidia. This band always allows it's members a spot in the limelight. Some of the songs that really show Saiki's voice, as well as Miku, are "Daydreaming", the official music video. Other songs that show her beautiful voice are "About Us", "Smile", and especially "Catharsis", the accoustic version on a RUclips live stream. That video has the members with different apparel is a wonderful setting and really shows the talent and versatility of the band.
Band Maid , My favorite Rock Band of all time. They have no bad songs, but some of my favorites, Rinne , don't let me down, dragon cries, Manners, Thrill.
What's not to love.... Every member of Band-Maid is as good as the next member. No one shines brighter that the other. They all shine as one to make one brilliant star.
Great reaction and some really insughtful analysis, Bissute! Pick any song from Band-Maid. Any live performance or any MV. It just doesn't matter because it's all FANTASTIC! It really, really is. No joke. You're going to have SO MUCH FUN! I gotta be here for your journey down the pigeon hole. Sub'd. Thanks so much, Biss! 🕊
Thank you for reacting to my favorite band. They are all highly talented musicians, lyricists and composers. Kanami conpose most of their music, Miku writes most of their lyrics, they all work on arrangements and presentation. And they are, as you already found out, a fantastic live band. I hope I will be able to see them live sometime. Great reaction Bisscute :-)
There are not enough words in any language to express the awesomeness that is Band-Maid, PO! Welcome to your new obsession. :) It only gets better from here.
It's very awesome your enthusiasm for music. The ladies of the band have that effect on people. They love their fans and making music, and you can see it when they perform.
Bisscute, your reaction to these wonderful ladies is just as infectious as they are, and it`s great to see. And there is so much more to come, enjoy !!!
Welcome new Maidiac! You are now Princess Bisscute when watching a Band-Maid "serving" (what they call their concerts). They call their fans "masters" and "princesses". And they are a group that TRULY cares about their fan base.
The energy of Band-Mais has no comparison ,,, what people feel when listening to their music,,, and their happiness is unreal !!! we need more of this in this crazy world ! Positive energy
I told you so, they are fantastic 😊 I'd suggest the live videos for "Play" (even more awesome bass guitar) or "Real existence". Or the music videos for "Blooming" or "Warning!". Thanks and bye 🙂
Band-Maid Possess my heart, emotions and musical soul every time I listen to them!!! Best Band I've heard in several years. Everything They do sounds so perfectly meant to be to me. Amazing Group of Young Women. Been a fan since just before the pandemic... 🤘❤🤘 Loved your heartfelt review. Mulţumesc, Danke and Thank You from the US.
This song is next to the last song of this concert, number 22 of 23, over two hours in! So much energy and stamina, infectious fun! Every one of these ladies are masters on their particular instrument and add Saiki's vocals to the mix and you get as close to perfection as can be attained, this side of Heaven! More Band-Maid, please!
Love to see how pumped you are about Band Maid! Your excitement is well placed this is an amazing group the outfits aren't fooling anyone every member is on another level. Everything you could ask for from a band and then some. I hope you continue your Band Maid journey every song hits you can't go wrong here plus their fan base is amazing too. Great reaction too you took the time to touch on some important points, subbed for more Band Maid!
Band Maid are the best hard rock band to have emerged in the last 30 or 40 years and your reactions to them are great to see. Keep them coming and cheers from the UK.
FROM JAPAN ◆ Thank you for your reaction to BAND-MAID. BAND-MAID is a real hard rock band. BAND-MAID is celebrating its 9th year of formation. BAND was formed by a girl who came to Tokyo from a local large city Kumamoto of Japan to become a singer when she was about 19 years old. Five unique and talented girls gathered. The members have not changed, and they are continuing their efforts to improve their playing ability. They are constantly writing new songs and cool songs. Three new songs were released at the end of October. BAND-MAID is a hard rock band, but it's a very diverse band. Listen to different types of songs. 1 Thrill : The first music video that saved them from dissolution. Classic rock 2014 2 Sense : The theme song of the anime "Platinum End". Dramatic, fast hard rock with a classic intro. 2021.10 3 Bubble : A tribute to the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, funky rock 4 Different : First anime opening song, new sense of high-speed rock. Anime is Log Horizon 3rd season. 2020.12 5 Daydreaming : Beautiful power ballad. Saiki and Kobato vocals and Kanami's guitar solo are wonderful. 6 Dice : Rhythmic hard rock singing women's independence 7 about us : A gift for fans who cannot meet in a pandemic. Beautiful ballad. 2021.02 8 Freedom : A power rock that walks around the stage and conveys a smile. The transition from drum solo to lead guitar is the best. 9 Manners : Declaration to create new hard rock while inheriting classic rock. Cool hard rock. Rock'n'Roll never die. 10 alone : The song they wrote, composed and released for the first time. Medium speed Hard Rock 2016 11 Secret My Lips & Secret Maiko Lips : Funky Hard Rock. A gift for fans of April Fool's Day . 12 Blooming : Vocals and chorus are impressive, and various types of music are fused. 13 RINNE : High-speed rhythmic heavy rock, inspired by the Japanese horror movie "RINNE : Reincarnation". RINNE (Reincarnation) is also found in Eastern thought and Buddhist thought. 14 onset : Instrumental song for lead singer Saiki breaks, their great playing power and harmony. 15 Play : A song composed as an instrumental song, but Miku added lyrics as Saiki liked it. With different intros depending on the live. 16 Before Yesterday : Record of the first overseas performance, Sakura-Con in Seattle 2016. Melodic Rock with great lyrics. 17 Choose me : An insert song of the concert scene the Netflix movie KATE, they appeared as BAND MAID. Cool rock song. 18 Dragon Cries : The only song produced by Tony Visconti. It's not their lyrics, but it sings about the future of human society and the earth. Great Heavy Classic Rock . 19 After Life : A homage to the maid cafe and band formation where Kobato worked. BAND-MAID Hard Rock . 20 Corallium : The song that Saiki wrote all the lyrics for the first time. Hip pop style dancing hard rock. 21 Catharsis : A song from Acoustic Live, showing their diversity, and they do their best in every genre. Added ★ Peace & Love : Founder Miku Kobato's solo project. Pigeon saves the world. Funky pop rock.
#Bisscute Jason is right. We're so lucky to witness the revival of rock with Band Maid & The Warning. Check out Band Maid's "Thrill" official music video, one of their earliest songs (not theirs actually) and you'll get a perfect view of Misa's greatness. Just as Jason said, #TheWarning is a must to know if you love rock, these beautiful young talented Mexican sisters never disappoint. Pick any song and you'll say it's your favorite one, until you listen to the next one! You can react to "Evolve" official music video. But of course they are great performers live as well, check out "Dust to dust" live from Lunario CD MX, where you'll witness Pau the drummer sing as she bangs those drums. You've been warned! & 📣You've got a new sub here! Greetings from 🇲🇽🎼🎸!
Totally agree, they are so talented and they radiate so much energy and happyness :') I wish they never change, and stay happy and doing what they love forever, and sharing it with us!
The bass and drums are the "rhythm" section... In some cases a guitar as well. They are the ENGINE of a band.they drive the song. When you get a good one. ...(rhythm section).. It is priceless. aka band- maid🤘😎🤘
The joy on your face as you watch/listen to the video shows me that you have fallen under the Magic Spell cast by the Little Pigeon. You have just gained a new subscriber. I highly suggest watching the song that precedes this one, Play, and wait for the Pigeon to tell you "SAY"
It's no accident you can hear the bass* clearly. The way Misa sets the tone and effects on her instrument make it punch through the mix instead of getting lost in the background. Making the bass stand out like that is tricky, because it often involves sacrificing some of the low tone that you want from it. Misa strikes the balance perfectly, keeping the low tones while making her part distinct. It's an example of how there's much more to playing an electric instrument than just notes and chords. *English pronunciation tip: The way you've been saying "bass" usually refers to the fish. When talking about bass in the musical sense, it rhymes with "space". Does that make sense?
You must realize that EACH one is a master of their craft. Miku lyricist and rhythm guitar, Kanamincho supreme SHREDDER and composer, MISA, MISA, MISA on the BASS, Saiki the VOICE and of course, Akane, the best drummer in the WORLD. Mincho, the master, has been bringing Miku up with her tutelage. They all get the songs to their final state of awesomeness.
If you want to listen to the bass more closely, I suggest checking out "Dice". It has a bass intro and a bass solo as well. Normally bass is really hard to hear in a rock band, because the deep frequencies of the bass are getting drowned by the high frequencies of the guitars. But since Dice has a bass intro, it conditions your ear to listen to it throughout the entire song.
Classic reaction Bisscute. So impressive that you show your love and admiration for The Maids. Passionate personified. Nice that don't have to swear to get your view across to viewers too. Yes The Maids do put on a great show and their attitudes on stage is infectious and that shows in the crowd reaction. Hopefully the band will tour Europe next year and a few countries to the south of Japan as well. They have mostly sold out shows throughout the US later this year including a few 4000 capacity venues. A couple that have had to be upgraded due to demand. The Maids deserve to be better known and it's only greater promotion by people like yourself that will get them there.
New to your reaction channel and very much enjoy your reaction to BAND-MAID. GJ Bisscute and the BAND-MAID journey only gets better. All there live performances are amazing and the production on there music videos will blow you out of your beautiful blue chair🤣 I have tickets for there October 22nd concert @ the House of Blues in Houston, TX. I can't hardly wait to see them. ✌️❤️🌹🙏🇺🇲
This band give to me a lot of energy at the same time they also give to me some happiness during this hard living time. Thank you girl to introduce this band to me.
8:21 - I had the same reaction as you. What I love about Band-Maid is they combine the loud, badass rock & roll along with the peaceful and angelic vocals (borderline R&B). The best part is that you never know which part is going to appear and then the transition that you're not expecting. Check out Band-Maid's "Dice", "Choose Me", and "Alone" for more high energy goodness.
If you want to hear them do something different About Us really highlight the singers Asiki and Miku and also Misa on the bass, sounding so smooth and classy. A truly beautiful song, and Saiki is so passionate here she may make you cry.
Welcome to the Band Maid train. Every new song will be your new favorite. This is probably one of THE BEST ones especially with Akane's solo. I became a MAIDIAC a couple of years ago. You have 40-50 to go. Its OK, you SHOULD pause and REWIND that kind of stuff...don't let anyone tell you different. The AWESOMENESS of Akane cannot be underestimated. Ask, Jimmy Page. Something so beautiful, it brings tears. Here is one you won't get from the others. Its a song they have not put on YT. As an 80's METAL HEAD, the song called SHAKE THAT makes you do just that. Its just the audio. @
Supplementary: in addition to the on stage skills, 3 members are classically trained pianists, two are brass instrument trained, the lead guitarist, one of the pianists, also has a degree in economics!
Saiki doesn't get tired since her throat operation. In 'PLAY' she even screams. She does get a break with Miku does her thing. But they do two hour sets. a Bass is a fish. a Bass Guitar is pronounced Base, like Ace, not bass. MISA is Base.
I enjoy your genuine enjoyment in your reactions :D If you enjoy highly talented Japanese bands I would recommend Wagakki Band and nearly any of their live preformances but my favourite is Senbonzakura. (not the one with Amy Lee, good but not as good) They are a band of pretty much superstars in their instruments and mix traditional japanese folk instruments with rock and metal :D I think you will like it ;) I have watched through a number of your reactions now and enjoyed them all :)
THE best Rock band on the planet - best musicianship, best songwriting, best stage presence. They always shine brightest live but their MV's are superb too. Have some fun looking at the many fam cams on YT too as many of them capture the fun these Rock goddesses have on stage, like in this video, 'Domination', at 3:16, where 3 band members are playing Hengao (strange faces) with Akane the drummer, which is making funny faces to try and put someone off. Akane, of course, laughs along while not missing a beat. It shows the ladies' confidence in each others' abilities that they can fool around like this while all of them slam out note-perfect Rock at full tilt. Miku, the rhythm guitarist and founder of the band, always has a chat with the audience halfway through their 2 hours and more set and that's worth seeing too. This is a very funny example - ruclips.net/video/x6iSf73LiQ0/видео.html
This song is from "BAND-MAID WORLD DOMINATION TOUR - Shinka" held by BAND-MAID at LINE CUBE SHIBUYA on February 14, 2020 Please subscribe to their channel (if you haven't): ruclips.net/user/BANDMAIDvideos Setlist: 1-Rinne 2-Blooming 3-Screaming 4-Dilemma 5-glory 6-FREEDOM 7-Choose me 8-PAGE 9-Mirage 10-catharsis 11-Bubble 12-The Dragon Cries 13-I can't live without you. 14-TIME 15-Wonderland 16-alone 17-DICE 18-Don't you tell ME 19-Play 20-DOMINATION 21-endless Story
When they gather around the drummer they are pulling faces to try and put her off. This is a group of supreme musicians who have fun on stage. Despite their mega talent there are no egos and everyone gets a turn in the spotlight.
Wenn du mehr hören willst wie ein bass klingt solltest du "Dice" von Band Maid dir ansehen , ein Song der mit einem "Drum-Bass-Solo" beginnt. Grüße aus NRW.
Band-Maid's synergy, personality, energy, power, sense of melody, consistency, massive catalog of great music and FUN makes them the top ROCK band around. BAND-MAID is Awesome. Peace.
Sounds good to my ears. Po. :) Since we have already adjusted her name, only the look is missing. I think the whole thing literally screams to see the dear Bisscute in a maid costume, doesn't it? 😇 It would certainly suit her well.
7:00 There's the traditional rock bassist, who is the one who was not as good on guitar so settled to play bass. Seriously. The bassist just kind of plays along with the guitarist, but keeping in time with the drummer. Then there are REAL bassists. See Flea. See Entwistle. See Pastorius. See Geddy Lee. The bass can and should be a primary instrument. Misa is quickly gaining status in the realm of the bass gods/goddesses or rock.
Check also another all female Metal Bands HANABIE - song We Love Sweets 🤘 TRIDEN-JAPAN songs Voltage, No Regret, 🤘 ASTERISM - songs Dawn, Rising Moon, Gunfire, 🤘all songs with seven string bass solo's..
Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me .

"How a bass guitar is supposed to sound" ... You are so right, Misa is the best bassplayer around!
Finally! BAND-MAID! They make me happy too, and they are so damn talented!
I have seen Led Zeppelin live and now I have VIP tickets for Phoenix in October I am just as excited as I was back then these ladies are Fantastic!
Man that Phx show sold out quick!
Jealous. Seattle show sold out too fast. No VIP tix, either. 🥺
@@sean1728 I ended up getting VIP tickets for both the Seattle and Phoenix shows when they went on presale. They need to play in much bigger venues. I would love to see them in the Paramount Theater or even McCaw Hall, they would have no problem selling out either of those places.
they are bigger than the Beatles tbh
San Diego in Oct for me.

Welcome to the Maidiac family! Loved your heartfelt reaction and desire to learn more about what you're seeing!
Fancy meeting you here... :P
Yes, if you want to hear how a bass guitar should sound and be played, then MISA!
I watch their reactions from all over the world every day, and your happy reaction was very fresh. The appeal of BAND-MAID will be more demonstrated live, so it would be great if you could see it from around ""play," and "real existence."
Thank you so much
Add Different / Dice and Manners / Black Hole to that list. It'll blow your mind. 2x a double live and showing what they are capable of.
Woohoo, that's faster than I could have dreamed of. And starting with maybe the 2 most popular live performances is not a bad idea either. :) Good choices!!! 👍🏻
Freu mich schon drauf und bin gespannt was du von ihnen hältst. 😁

The part you picked up on of Saiki's 'feminine' voice is closer to her normal speaking voice which is quite deep for a japanese woman. If you liked that then have a listen to Daydreaming, Awkward or Anemone where a large part of her vocals are in this low tone, it's an aspect of her vocals that can cause weekness in the knees of her fans -- me anyway.
Daydreaming may be my favorite Band Maid song, and Anemone is an emotional killer
@@kevinlane7555 Maybe mine too.Its a hard choice in their 100+ tracks.

@@PaleHorseShabuShabu thanks, it's an age thing
Really nice observations. Would really recommend "Wonderland" LIVE - Official next for something I think is going to melt your heart ... in a good way ;)
MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! the Barefoot Bass Assassin , I will see them in Seattle on Oct 12th
Your BAND-MAID Journey has begun. It's a long Journey, but you'll never get bored. You'll enjoy a variety of scenery.
I can t wait
YES! I'm so happy you are doing Band-Maid. I got my tickets this week too. I haven't been this excited for a concert since the first time I went to see KISS when I was like 13. I'm happy you like them as well. You'll be a full fledged "Maidiac" in no time.
Me too!
Bisscute, Welcome to Band Maidia. This band always allows it's members a spot in the limelight. Some of the songs that really show Saiki's voice, as well as Miku, are "Daydreaming", the official music video. Other songs that show her beautiful voice are "About Us", "Smile", and especially "Catharsis", the accoustic version on a RUclips live stream. That video has the members with different apparel is a wonderful setting and really shows the talent and versatility of the band.
I love being here
The student (Miku) challenging her sensei (Kanami)...and falling off the band stand. Gotta love it.
The best live rock band in the last 30 years.
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Yes, I agree!
40 Years...lol
@@ThouDailyBlab 🤙🏼
Best rock band in the last 30 years....
Band Maid , My favorite Rock Band of all time. They have no bad songs, but some of my favorites, Rinne , don't let me down, dragon cries, Manners, Thrill.
I will be driving 1750 miles round trip to see them in Dallas and Houston. Great reaction, they are breathtaking.
Too bad they are not coming in Europe
あなた滅茶苦茶耳が良くて感受性も豊かですね！そのおかげで深く音楽を味わうことが出来て、すごく音楽を楽しめているように見えるので羨ましいです！
Welcome new Maidiac. The live version of Manners/ Black Hole has a lot of Misa I mean bass .
I grew up in the Golden Age of Rock/Metal-the '80's. These women are the best Rock band of the last 25 yrs. hands-down.
What's not to love.... Every member of Band-Maid is as good as the next member. No one shines brighter that the other. They all shine as one to make one brilliant star.
Great reaction and some really insughtful analysis, Bissute! Pick any song from Band-Maid. Any live performance or any MV. It just doesn't matter because it's all FANTASTIC! It really, really is. No joke. You're going to have SO MUCH FUN! I gotta be here for your journey down the pigeon hole. Sub'd. Thanks so much, Biss! 🕊
Thank you for reacting to my favorite band. They are all highly talented musicians, lyricists and composers. Kanami conpose most of their music, Miku writes most of their lyrics, they all work on arrangements and presentation. And they are, as you already found out, a fantastic live band. I hope I will be able to see them live sometime. Great reaction Bisscute :-)
How to describe Band-Maid, easy, Band-Maid = Happiness.
There are not enough words in any language to express the awesomeness that is Band-Maid, PO!
Welcome to your new obsession. :) It only gets better from here.
MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!!! 🥃🥃🥃 Celebrating MISA'S birthday at the LA concert 🎂🤙🏼

Great Reaction! Band Maid Forever!😎🤘
It's very awesome your enthusiasm for music. The ladies of the band have that effect on people. They love their fans and making music, and you can see it when they perform.
Bisscute, your reaction to these wonderful ladies is just as infectious as they are, and it`s great to see. And there is so much more to come, enjoy !!!
I can t wait
Welcome new Maidiac! You are now Princess Bisscute when watching a Band-Maid "serving" (what they call their concerts). They call their fans "masters" and "princesses". And they are a group that TRULY cares about their fan base.
Princess Bisscute has a ring to it right ?
@@BisscuteReacts hey, if the crown fits, you wear it!
Seeing this as an upcoming video makes me happy!
The energy of Band-Mais has no comparison ,,, what people feel when listening to their music,,, and their happiness is unreal !!! we need more of this in this crazy world ! Positive energy
Akane > Kanamicho > Saiki transition is one of the most memorable that I can even remember, Po! Masterclass!
I told you so, they are fantastic 😊
I'd suggest the live videos for "Play" (even more awesome bass guitar) or "Real existence".
Or the music videos for "Blooming" or "Warning!". Thanks and bye 🙂
I love them too.
Can’t wait to see them live in October.
Also; you are adorable.
Thank you so much
Band-Maid Possess my heart, emotions and musical soul every time I listen to them!!! Best Band I've heard in several years. Everything They do sounds so perfectly meant to be to me. Amazing Group of Young Women. Been a fan since just before the pandemic... 🤘❤🤘 Loved your heartfelt review. Mulţumesc, Danke and Thank You from the US.
I like Band-Maid!!!
This song is next to the last song of this concert, number 22 of 23, over two hours in! So much energy and stamina, infectious fun! Every one of these ladies are masters on their particular instrument and add Saiki's vocals to the mix and you get as close to perfection as can be attained, this side of Heaven! More Band-Maid, please!
Love to see how pumped you are about Band Maid! Your excitement is well placed this is an amazing group the outfits aren't fooling anyone every member is on another level. Everything you could ask for from a band and then some. I hope you continue your Band Maid journey every song hits you can't go wrong here plus their fan base is amazing too. Great reaction too you took the time to touch on some important points, subbed for more Band Maid!
More to come
Perfect comment of the day: “This is how a bass guitar is supposed to sound”! 😋
Dice MV
Play Live
Both have great bass parts. (Most do!)
Band Maid are the best hard rock band to have emerged in the last 30 or 40 years and your reactions to them are great to see. Keep them coming and cheers from the UK.
I usually tell people to beware of their charm..........but its too late for you Bisscute, I think your already a Maidiac !! ❤🎙🎸🥁😎👌
FROM JAPAN ◆ Thank you for your reaction to BAND-MAID. BAND-MAID is a real hard rock band.
BAND-MAID is celebrating its 9th year of formation. BAND was formed by a girl who came to Tokyo from a local large city Kumamoto of Japan to become a singer when she was about 19 years old. Five unique and talented girls gathered. The members have not changed, and they are continuing their efforts to improve their playing ability. They are constantly writing new songs and cool songs. Three new songs were released at the end of October.
BAND-MAID is a hard rock band, but it's a very diverse band. Listen to different types of songs.
1 Thrill : The first music video that saved them from dissolution. Classic rock 2014
2 Sense : The theme song of the anime "Platinum End". Dramatic, fast hard rock with a classic intro. 2021.10
3 Bubble : A tribute to the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, funky rock
4 Different : First anime opening song, new sense of high-speed rock. Anime is Log Horizon 3rd season. 2020.12
5 Daydreaming : Beautiful power ballad. Saiki and Kobato vocals and Kanami's guitar solo are wonderful.
6 Dice : Rhythmic hard rock singing women's independence
7 about us : A gift for fans who cannot meet in a pandemic. Beautiful ballad. 2021.02
8 Freedom : A power rock that walks around the stage and conveys a smile.
The transition from drum solo to lead guitar is the best.
9 Manners : Declaration to create new hard rock while inheriting classic rock. Cool hard rock. Rock'n'Roll never die.
10 alone : The song they wrote, composed and released for the first time. Medium speed Hard Rock 2016
11 Secret My Lips & Secret Maiko Lips : Funky Hard Rock. A gift for fans of April Fool's Day .
12 Blooming : Vocals and chorus are impressive, and various types of music are fused.
13 RINNE : High-speed rhythmic heavy rock, inspired by the Japanese horror movie "RINNE : Reincarnation".
RINNE (Reincarnation) is also found in Eastern thought and Buddhist thought.
14 onset : Instrumental song for lead singer Saiki breaks, their great playing power and harmony.
15 Play : A song composed as an instrumental song, but Miku added lyrics as Saiki liked it. With different intros depending on the live.
16 Before Yesterday : Record of the first overseas performance, Sakura-Con in Seattle 2016. Melodic Rock with great lyrics.
17 Choose me : An insert song of the concert scene the Netflix movie KATE, they appeared as BAND MAID. Cool rock song.
18 Dragon Cries : The only song produced by Tony Visconti.
It's not their lyrics, but it sings about the future of human society and the earth. Great Heavy Classic Rock .
19 After Life : A homage to the maid cafe and band formation where Kobato worked. BAND-MAID Hard Rock .
20 Corallium : The song that Saiki wrote all the lyrics for the first time. Hip pop style dancing hard rock.
21 Catharsis : A song from Acoustic Live, showing their diversity, and they do their best in every genre.
Added ★ Peace & Love : Founder Miku Kobato's solo project. Pigeon saves the world. Funky pop rock.
I fell in love with them the first song I heard. They're my go to music. Such talented and beautiful ladies.
This is one of my two favorite bands on the planet. (The other is a trio of three sisters from Mexico: The Warning. Check them out too!)
#Bisscute Jason is right. We're so lucky to witness the revival of rock with Band Maid & The Warning. Check out Band Maid's "Thrill" official music video, one of their earliest songs (not theirs actually) and you'll get a perfect view of Misa's greatness. Just as Jason said, #TheWarning is a must to know if you love rock, these beautiful young talented Mexican sisters never disappoint. Pick any song and you'll say it's your favorite one, until you listen to the next one! You can react to "Evolve" official music video. But of course they are great performers live as well, check out "Dust to dust" live from Lunario CD MX, where you'll witness Pau the drummer sing as she bangs those drums. You've been warned! & 📣You've got a new sub here! Greetings from 🇲🇽🎼🎸!
Wonderland Official Live version, on their channel, taken from this same concert, is an excellent showcase of Saikl's vocal ability.
"So Freakin' Fun!" - Well Said.
Band-Maid - очень клёвые))они не угомонные, знаю их уже второй год и всё ещё не устал)
Totally agree, they are so talented and they radiate so much energy and happyness :') I wish they never change, and stay happy and doing what they love forever, and sharing it with us!
The bass and drums are the "rhythm" section...
In some cases a guitar as well. They are the ENGINE of a band.they drive the song.
When you get a good one.
...(rhythm section)..
It is priceless.
aka band- maid🤘😎🤘
The joy on your face as you watch/listen to the video shows me that you have fallen under the Magic Spell cast by the Little Pigeon. You have just gained a new subscriber. I highly suggest watching the song that precedes this one, Play, and wait for the Pigeon to tell you "SAY"
It's no accident you can hear the bass* clearly. The way Misa sets the tone and effects on her instrument make it punch through the mix instead of getting lost in the background. Making the bass stand out like that is tricky, because it often involves sacrificing some of the low tone that you want from it. Misa strikes the balance perfectly, keeping the low tones while making her part distinct. It's an example of how there's much more to playing an electric instrument than just notes and chords.
*English pronunciation tip: The way you've been saying "bass" usually refers to the fish. When talking about bass in the musical sense, it rhymes with "space". Does that make sense?
You must realize that EACH one is a master of their craft. Miku lyricist and rhythm guitar, Kanamincho supreme SHREDDER and composer, MISA, MISA, MISA on the BASS, Saiki the VOICE and of course, Akane, the best drummer in the WORLD. Mincho, the master, has been bringing Miku up with her tutelage. They all get the songs to their final state of awesomeness.
If you want to listen to the bass more closely, I suggest checking out "Dice". It has a bass intro and a bass solo as well. Normally bass is really hard to hear in a rock band, because the deep frequencies of the bass are getting drowned by the high frequencies of the guitars. But since Dice has a bass intro, it conditions your ear to listen to it throughout the entire song.
Amazingly true reaction
Classic reaction Bisscute. So impressive that you show your love and admiration for The Maids. Passionate personified.
Nice that don't have to swear to get your view across to viewers too.
Yes The Maids do put on a great show and their attitudes on stage is infectious and that shows in the crowd reaction.
Hopefully the band will tour Europe next year and a few countries to the south of Japan as well.
They have mostly sold out shows throughout the US later this year including a few 4000 capacity venues. A couple that have had to be upgraded due to demand. The Maids deserve to be better known and it's only greater promotion by people like yourself that will get them there.
New to your reaction channel and very much enjoy your reaction to BAND-MAID. GJ Bisscute and the BAND-MAID journey only gets better. All there live performances are amazing and the production on there music videos will blow you out of your beautiful blue chair🤣 I have tickets for there October 22nd concert @ the House of Blues in Houston, TX. I can't hardly wait to see them. ✌️❤️🌹🙏🇺🇲
Thank you so much I am def jelous
This band give to me a lot of energy at the same time they also give to me some happiness during this hard living time. Thank you girl to introduce this band to me.
8:21 - I had the same reaction as you. What I love about Band-Maid is they combine the loud, badass rock & roll along with the peaceful and angelic vocals (borderline R&B). The best part is that you never know which part is going to appear and then the transition that you're not expecting. Check out Band-Maid's "Dice", "Choose Me", and "Alone" for more high energy goodness.
Excellent reaction ...
こんばんは、お疲れ様です。
Band-Maid、最高でしょ！
これからもじゃんじゃんリアクション動画投稿して、世界征服に貢献してくださいね〜！
If you want to hear them do something different About Us really highlight the singers Asiki and Miku and also Misa on the bass, sounding so smooth and classy. A truly beautiful song, and Saiki is so passionate here she may make you cry.
I absolutely love this band
So cool to see you are really falling in love. So beautiful to see. Welcome dear, welcome to us Maidiacs. May your heart be filled with happyness.
Welcome to the Band Maid train. Every new song will be your new favorite. This is probably one of THE BEST ones especially with Akane's solo. I became a MAIDIAC a couple of years ago. You have 40-50 to go.
Its OK, you SHOULD pause and REWIND that kind of stuff...don't let anyone tell you different. The AWESOMENESS of Akane cannot be underestimated. Ask, Jimmy Page. Something so beautiful, it brings tears.
Here is one you won't get from the others. Its a song they have not put on YT. As an 80's METAL HEAD, the song called SHAKE THAT makes you do just that. Its just the audio.

We need more bandmaid from you Bisscute ❤❤
the soft vocal bit is very considerate from the band. after all those intense solos we all need a moment to start breathing again
Supplementary: in addition to the on stage skills, 3 members are classically trained pianists, two are brass instrument trained, the lead guitarist, one of the pianists, also has a degree in economics!
Awesome 😎 love band maid one of my favourite bands there music is amazing
I read somewhere that Kanami (lead guitar) wrote a solo for herself that was so hard that it took her two months to learn it.
Loved your reaction to the solo section! 🤘
I am apppreciating everything
Saiki doesn't get tired since her throat operation. In 'PLAY' she even screams. She does get a break with Miku does her thing. But they do two hour sets. a Bass is a fish. a Bass Guitar is pronounced Base, like Ace, not bass. MISA is Base.
Misa is BOSS. 🙃🍻🔥
These ladies kick ass
Thanks Bisscute!
Band Maid .....Long live the Queens !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best of the best!!!!!!!!!!!
Saiki is quite amazing consedering she had a polyp removal surgery on her vocal fold in 2018
4:30 That's called operatic trained breath control. So many "pop" singers just don't have the chops, so they fake it. Saiki does not fake anything.
Since you like Band-Maid so much, you should check out Scandal (Japan). Scandal is an older, less metal version of this type of music.
I enjoy your genuine enjoyment in your reactions :D
If you enjoy highly talented Japanese bands I would recommend Wagakki Band and nearly any of their live preformances but my favourite is Senbonzakura. (not the one with Amy Lee, good but not as good) They are a band of pretty much superstars in their instruments and mix traditional japanese folk instruments with rock and metal :D I think you will like it ;)
I have watched through a number of your reactions now and enjoyed them all :)
Thank you so much
THE best Rock band on the planet - best musicianship, best songwriting, best stage presence. They always shine brightest live but their MV's are superb too. Have some fun looking at the many fam cams on YT too as many of them capture the fun these Rock goddesses have on stage, like in this video, 'Domination', at 3:16, where 3 band members are playing Hengao (strange faces) with Akane the drummer, which is making funny faces to try and put someone off. Akane, of course, laughs along while not missing a beat. It shows the ladies' confidence in each others' abilities that they can fool around like this while all of them slam out note-perfect Rock at full tilt. Miku, the rhythm guitarist and founder of the band, always has a chat with the audience halfway through their 2 hours and more set and that's worth seeing too. This is a very funny example - ruclips.net/video/x6iSf73LiQ0/видео.html
You are one of the best reactors. Full stop!
Awee thank you so much ❤️

When they gather around the drummer they are pulling faces to try and put her off. This is a group of supreme musicians who have fun on stage. Despite their mega talent there are no egos and everyone gets a turn in the spotlight.
Wenn du mehr hören willst wie ein bass klingt solltest du "Dice" von Band Maid dir ansehen , ein Song der mit einem "Drum-Bass-Solo" beginnt.
Grüße aus NRW.
If you want to really hear the difference in the bass and guitar watch their video Don't tell me (live)
Band-Maid's synergy, personality, energy, power, sense of melody, consistency, massive catalog of great music and FUN makes them the top ROCK band around. BAND-MAID is Awesome. Peace.
Son perfectas Band Maid 😍😍😍 saludos amiga desde México
Biss-kawaii 🤘
Sounds good to my ears. Po. :)
Since we have already adjusted her name, only the look is missing. I think the whole thing literally screams to see the dear Bisscute in a maid costume, doesn't it? 😇 It would certainly suit her well.
7:00 There's the traditional rock bassist, who is the one who was not as good on guitar so settled to play bass. Seriously. The bassist just kind of plays along with the guitarist, but keeping in time with the drummer. Then there are REAL bassists. See Flea. See Entwistle. See Pastorius. See Geddy Lee. The bass can and should be a primary instrument. Misa is quickly gaining status in the realm of the bass gods/goddesses or rock.
