Band Maid fans will all say there is no best song, they are so consistently good and I have heard nothing like them since The Beatles for high quality across their whole catalogue. Because they can do anything from ballads right through every version of rock to really heavy and really crazy stuff , fans will hone on on a particular part of their style that suits them. I generally fall into the middle of their range (although I love it all and it depends on my mood) so my four personal favourites are Blooming, Puzzle, Anemone and Awkward.
With Band-Maid there is no single "greatest hit". They have a stellar 120+ song catalog. From their YT channel I will suggest these Live videos: DOMINATION-LIVE, ONSET-LIVE, PLAY-LIVE. As far as MV's I will suggest: WARNING, BLOOMING, DICE. But remember there are dozens more that are just as great as these. Plus many great songs that don't have MV's. The pigeon hole is deep so bring your hard hat and your smile. The Awesomeness of BAND-MAID shines thru every day. Peace 154
My gosh.... I have like 14 new bands from Japan all at the same time I am discovering. Looks like my love for Hikaru Utada and RiSA needs some spreading around lol
@@spicybentvreacts Yup. Japan has upped the ante. And will keep you busy. I myself like Rock over metal so my main squeeze is BAND-MAID. They supply you with a wide variety of awesome music. 🔥😍
@@jkkansasband7056 @jk kansasband Im thankful they are reaction friendly, because I've had some blocked for unknowingly being owned by Sony or Warner Brothers
@@spicybentvreacts As an FYI- Since it seems you like anime also check out: SENSE is the OP for Platinum End and DIFFERENT is the OP for Log Horizon. UNLEASH!!!!! is anime MV featuring Band-Maid, hopefully to become and anime one day.❤ They have a few other songs featured in anime. Plus the band was featured in the Netflix movie KATE last year with 2 featured songs. They also provided an original song HIBANA for an major esports competition in Japan last year.
@@spicybentvreacts Band-Maid is known for being user friendly. And if it does get blocked by happenstance other reactors say it is very easily released in short order.
As others have pointed out, their entire catalog is just astounding. Hard to pin them to any genera. A great show of their range is Manners/Black Hole, a 2 song video from an online live concert they released during the pandemic. Manners is a great bluesy rock throwback and Black Hole? Well... you'll see.
The drummer is Akane Hirosi, and the bassist is Misa, The lead guitarist is Kanami Soto, and the rhythm guitarist and backup singer is Miku Kobato, who founded the band. The lead vocalist is Saiki Atsumi. The band has many videoes under Band Maid on RUclips. Check them out.
Misa, the barefoot assassin on bass. Akane the Gorilla on drums. Miku the little pigeon on rhythm and backing vocals. Saiki the rock mistress on lead vocals and Kanami the Riff Goddess on lead guitar.

The true meaning of Band-Maid's World Domination is to help bring the world together with their music. This is why Band-Maid and their community is, and will continue to be, a growing, positive influence among people everywhere. Thanks Ben, Band-Maid, fans, and fellow Maidiacs. Go 2022 USA TOUR! 🌏🎀
Next year this band will have been together for ten years. They keep being fresh and evolve with every new song. So nine years of great evolving work to choose from.
Prepare to be blown away REPEATEDLY. I've never seen one single song from Band-Maid that I would call average. You are going to go from amazing song to amazing song with Band-Maid. They are like a multiple choice question where there is no wrong answer. Here are just a few suggestions to check out: OFFICIAL VIDS: "Thrill" (Their first video) "Different" "Blooming" "Warning" "Daydreaming" (Ballad) OFFICIAL LIVE VIDS: "Domination" "Freedom" "Mannere/Black Hole" "Play"
Thank you! Sorry for responding late. Been sick lately and used the down time to go through ALL 900 unanswered comments! Hope you have a great day and comeback for more reactions!
Akane the GORILLA is a awesome fenom drummer check out FREEDOM. Yes they have there own channel with 44 videos. But that's just the beginning. Every single one of the 120 plus catalog will leave you craving more.
Band Maid music videos are known to record in extreme weather this one it was 98 degrees. Check out the video Warning filmed in the winter. Also a ⚠️ ever 1st time hearing Band Maid is your next favorite song .
My god....they're soooo cute and strong. I'm tempted to just binge listen to them all in 1 go but I wanna save more slow burn experience through my videos.
So EXCITED to see them tomorrow at Aftershock!! Welcome to the Maidiacs!! Believe it or not, that's just the tip of the huge iceberg of musical greatness from this incredible group of ladies and the more you hear from them, the more you'll love 'em! Some suggestions: Domination, Play, Onset (instrumental), Freedom, Real Existence, Puzzle - all Live, because that's when they really shine! (Best MV's: Blooming, Thrill, The Non-Fiction Days, Dice, Secret My Lips, Unleash, Warning) Thanks! 🤘🤩🤘
They are on their US tour right now and are making all kinds of waves. Just played at Aftershock about a week ago. House Of Blues in San Diego just awhile ago. Some really great live footage now we didn't have before. Band-Maid sounds amazing live. Good Reaction! 👍
You can’t really capture Band-Maid in a song or two. They’re so versatile, just start picking songs and get ready for everything you thought you knew about music to change
Welcome to the best hard rock band on the planet! In nine years of existence they haven't released a bad track. All nine years of their work is on Spotify. They don't stick to one sound or genre. You will hear classic hard rock/Punk/Punk-Pop/Metal/Prog/Jazz/Funk and Blues from them, often mixed into one song. They can melt your face off with a hard stadium rocker or melt your soul with a ballad or acoustic. You REALLY need to see them live. From their RUclips channel check out the LIVE versions of 'Domination', 'Play', or 'Real Existence'. Hopefully see you soon!
All of band-maid are great musicians but especially the drummer and bassist and lead. They formed nearly 10yr ago now and the members are- Misa - the bassist - maybe the best bass player alive - switches seemlessly from pick to slap and back, ALWAYS plays interesting complex bass lines. Akane - the drummer - fantastic drummer - ALWAYS changing things up and adding tons of fills she doesnt have to- amazing timing etc - up in the top 1% of all bands drummers. Miku - rhythm guitar, 2nd vocals, lyricist, band founder and front. Everyone loves Miku :) She learned guitar on the job from Kanami- and has become very good. Saiki - lead singer. Fantastic distinctive voice that is deeper than most japanese womens. Joined 1 month after the others when Miku decided her own vocals were not powerful enough. Kanami- lead guitar and main composer of their songs. She likes to keep solo's short for the songs sake but is a fantastic unique guitarist with her own style and amazing composer. They do indeed have their own band-maid channel- thats where you'll find all the music videos and official lives etc. They are touring in the states atm btw :)
Best song. Hahahhhaha… good luck. You’ll be lucky to find a band maid fan that could narrow it down to a top 10. Probably the song Thrill is the most well known song as it went viral. It was their first music video and saved the band. It’s a great song, but it’s 8 years old at this point and I think there are dozens that are better.
The drummer is Akane aka "AK47" aka "Gorilla" aka "Queen Kong" Hirose. Yeah she's awesome, well the whole band is. Picking the best Band-Maid song is like finding the wettest drop of the ocean. All of them are beyond good and they have 120+ so everybody has a different favorite. To me it is Corallium, that song represents Band-Maid's full power unleashed. Have fun finding your personal favorite. Oh they are also amazing live. I suggest you check out Freedom live to see some drum magic 🥁🦍
Band Maid is a perfect storm of talent .. the fact that these five girls came together is an example of pure serendipity. There is no best track ... they're all exceptional. If you want my favourite then it would probably be "Don't You Tell Me Live at Zepp Tokyo" .. they knock it out of the park. Welcome down the rabbit hole :)
Hi! Welcome to the wonderful world of Band-Maid. They are- Miku (Maid/Red flower)- Founder of the Band, Vocals/Guitar (Zamaitis). Saiki- (Black outfit/Blue Flower)- Lead Vocals. Kanami- (Maid outfit) Lead Guitar (PRS)/Backing Vocals. MISA- (Black outfit) Bass and Akane- (Maid outfit) Drums. Hope this helps.
I don't think the members have individual YT channels but they do have individual Instagram and Twitter handles. Kobato Miku, the lady with the red rose, has a side project called cluppo hence she has her own individual TikTok channel. edit: Oh, now that I think on it, Kobato-chan has her own "cluppo" YT channel. Content only for her side project not "vlogs".
Eh kanaks, seen them at Aftershock and they are the real deal. Akane (drums) is a beast, and I witnessed it first hand, Po! 50 MV’s on their Official YT channel, +125 songs, and Aftershock Sacramento begins their US tour. 2023 will be their 10th year together. As for YT strikes or reaction takedowns, they are not likely to do that if you stay with their official MV’s, or the many fan cams that are starting to be shared on YT. Btw, You are their Ad dept, Po! You will not be disappointed. imua!
Oh right on. Yeah that is good to hear. The last concert I went to was Rock on the Range 2016, and went to a couple of metal festivals before that while I was in the army. 🤙
@@spicybentvreacts Thanks for your service! I say Po! because the founder/lead Pigeon for Band Maid is Miku Kobato (rhythm G/2nd V). The Kanji for Kobato refers to Hato or dove/Pigeon. Therefore, she is an 850 year old pigeon in Band Maid character. In Japan, the sound of a pigeon is translated as cluppo or Po! for short, where we say coo, or something like that. That's why at the end of her spoken sentences (even in postings) she doesn't miss a beat and say Po!. This is just a primer for your deep dive into the Pigeon hole that is Band Maid. Other Maidiac, will be in-coming, Po! 🤙🏽
@6:00 It seems to me when Kanami begins her solo it sounds just like Bach's Toccata and Fugue. Somehow and maybe my ears are betraying me she makes that guitar sound like an organ!!
Many will say there’s no “best” Band Maid song because they literally are all so very good. I agree with that statement. However, if you insist on the best song to listen to I don’t think people would argue against “Blooming” being that song. I believe it was the winner of the poll on Gaijin Guys recently. After that I’d echo what another user suggested… the live video of “Manners” and “Black Hole”. 2 songs, one video, and no better representation of their diversity.
Congratulations on finding the best rock band on planet earth 🌍 today. Your life has just improved dramatically as your starting a journey that’ll blow your mind and enhance your musical perspective in a thousand ways. Rolling Quartz is fine, I like their raw energy, but understand, they are where Band-Maid was at 8 years ago and they are not nearly the skilled composers, arrangers, lyricists, instrumentalists, or performers that the Maids are and that will become rapidly apparent to you. And re-listen to this song carefully with a good set of headphones. One time focus on the drums, then the bass, then the guitars (that’ll take 5 listens) 😂 and then the backing and lead vocals - you won’t believe your ears when you hear and understand everything that is happening in their songs. They are truly masters of the rock song craft. Next, see them live: - “Domination” - official live video - “Freedom” - official live video - “Manners / Black Hole” - official live video - “No God” - official live video Then go start with their earliest songs and work back up to present. You’ll be glad you did! You must see the original “Thrill” video - it’s Band-Maid Lore 😊 Band-Maid has grown into arguably the best band out there. Band-Maid Members (Simple Version) - [ ] Miku (ME-coo) - Rhythm Guitar, Second Vocals, Founder, Pigeon, Primary Lyricist, Chief Spokesperson, PO!! - [ ] Misa (ME-sah) - Bass, Barefoot Assassin - [ ] Akane (AH-kah-nay) - Drums, Gorilla - [ ] Kanami (Kah-NAM-e) - Lead Guitar, Princess, Primary Music Composer - [ ] Saiki (Psyche) - Vocals, The Ice Queen, Quality Control, secondary lyricist Take care and rock on 🤘🏼🎸🎼🔥🤷🏻♂️✌🏼
One of the Best hard bands creating music today. You need to see them live... Personally for me. "Domination" Live from there page.. Next would be "Play" Live... But there is anyone of 50 of their tracks you could choose from.
@@spicybentvreacts They have done several songs for anime's such as Log Horizon, Platinum End and another I'm drawing a blank on. Miku the rhythm guitarist also has a side project "Cluppo" and has done a song for an anime.
Sorry man but their best is the last one you heard lol. To me, they have no bad songs. I do love some more than others though. My top one change daily so today it's Play, Moratorium, After Life, Corallium.
The original video of Thrill is the oldest and has the most views...My personal favorite is Turn Me On (Zepp Tokyo Live 2018)...My favorite Mincho solo !
Band Maid is best live, if at all possible live videos are highly recommended, Puzzle live is my personal fav but you can't go wrong with any live show. They do have a youtube channel and its best to get your reactions from there.
I tend to check out live versions of artists performances once I have seen all of the official m/v's but with the amount of people telling me to check out the live versions and skip the originals is mind blowing
@@spicybentvreacts generally speaking the live versions are better than the MV (when available) because of extra solos or other creative parts. The one exception I can think of is “Rinne”. The available live version is a cut-down shortened version of the song because it was recorded as part of a TV show promo. If you react to Rinne, be sure to watch the MV. You can make the argument that “Dice”, “Blooming”, and “Different” are better as MVs than the live versions, as well. I think they are about even soundwise, but the cinematography makes the MV better. Generally though, the live versions on the official Band-Maid channel are very high quality. The unofficial fan cam stuff is okay, some better than others, but obviously the sound quality is not nearly as good. There are some older “official” live versions of songs from Band-Maid’s older concert DVDs, but while they are professionally produced and sound amazing, they aren’t officially released on RUclips. They aren’t to hard to find elsewhere on the internet via “other means”. If you want to go down that route, look for “Puzzle (live)”, “Puzzle (acoustic live)”, “Don’t You Tell Me (live)”, “Take me Higher (live)”, and “Moratorium (live)”
Go with Real Existence Live, Domination Live, Manners (I prefer the MV), Blooming and everything else everyone is suggesting. All of my suggestions are on their YT Channel - ruclips.net/channel/UCJToUvYrmkmTCR-bluEaQfA
With stuff that is hard to get up, you are pausing right? If you let songs play through without a couple pauses- in some big labels case like once per 30 sec- then the songs wont go through.. Some stuff needs you to blur some/all of the music video as well as pause - it varies. One tip I can give if you have trouble with a specific song, have a look at other reaction videos and see what those reactors have done different to get theirs up. p.s Band-maid are incredible ) This is an averagey band-maid song - I dont think many fans will put this in their top 20- it got lots of requests because its brand new.
I appreciate this comment, however it didnt work for me. I tried all of the techniques. My channel cannot monetize videos yet, it will be a while to do that. The constant stopping and talking during the songs are (from what I have seen) are channels well over 1K subscribers, and they're trying to monetize their videos. I even experimented with blurring/turning off the music and even stopping multiple times during the music video. The result was it was still blocked from even being published.
If the music is too loud, my video gets flagged for some reason. I've taken advice from other content creators, being a small, new channel, i should be louder than the music playing. So that is what I ended up doing and it's worked out so far.
@@spicybentvreacts That’s just because most people don’t speak their mind. What happens when you are louder than the music is we listeners turn the volume up to hear the music, then when you start talking YOU are too loud and we have to turn the volume down…… so personally for me I just leave, I hate doing that but that’s too much messing around. Equalized volume is king, what does RUclips know…..Lol!!
@@_JimS Hmmm, isn't the point of the reaction video is to see the persons reaction and hear their take? I mean if you wanted to listen to the music, you could just watch the original video uninterrupted? I'm probably sounding like a total prick but I am not intending to, I apologize if there is a misunderstanding. Anyway, I try my best to equalize volume, but 1. not all videos are uploaded at the same volume decibel 2. I have to do multiple takes if I listen back on my original recording, which ruins the "true first reaction" if I need to reshoot it if I cant edit the sound level of the first recording. I am speaking from my own personal experience though. I always try to take constructive criticism and experiment with it. Thanks for the response and have a nice day!
They are the best live rock band on the planet. They can play any genre. BTW, SONY and Warner are the worst content blockers. Usually, PONY Canyon, are also blockers, but they seem to have made an exception for BAND-MAID. Be sure to check out live BAND-MAID, Lovebites, SCANDAL, and so many more.
Band Maid fans will all say there is no best song, they are so consistently good and I have heard nothing like them since The Beatles for high quality across their whole catalogue.

One time focus on the drums, then the bass, then the guitars (that’ll take 5 listens) 😂 and then the backing and lead vocals - you won’t believe your ears when you hear and understand everything that is happening in their songs. They are truly masters of the rock song craft.
Next, see them live:
- “Domination” - official live video
- “Freedom” - official live video
- “Manners / Black Hole” - official live video
- “No God” - official live video
Then go start with their earliest songs and work back up to present. You’ll be glad you did! You must see the original “Thrill” video - it’s Band-Maid Lore 😊
Band-Maid has grown into arguably the best band out there.

Domination Live, and probably Unleash would be my recommended two to check out.
One of the Best hard bands creating music today. You need to see them live... Personally for me. "Domination" Live from there page.. Next would be "Play" Live... But there is anyone of 50 of their tracks you could choose from.
You seem to like Anime so you should check out their previous music video Unleash!!!!!
Have they done OST's?
@@spicybentvreacts They have done several songs for anime's such as Log Horizon, Platinum End and another I'm drawing a blank on. Miku the rhythm guitarist also has a side project "Cluppo" and has done a song for an anime.
@@greylocke100 No way!!! I love LH!!!
@@spicybentvreacts Their song Different is used in Log Horizon.
Sorry man but their best is the last one you heard lol. To me, they have no bad songs. I do love some more than others though. My top one change daily so today it's Play, Moratorium, After Life, Corallium.
SpicyBen is the best name 👍
Lol I got that for my foul mouth playing online games
Bro do it live...you won't regret..🐌
PS...put you headphones on..😉
Thank you for reacting to Band-Maid.
Thank you for watching!
The original video of Thrill is the oldest and has the most views...My personal favorite is Turn Me On (Zepp Tokyo Live 2018)...My favorite Mincho solo !
Best band in the world 🤘🎎🤘🎎
Band Maid is best live, if at all possible live videos are highly recommended, Puzzle live is my personal fav but you can't go wrong with any live show. They do have a youtube channel and its best to get your reactions from there.
I tend to check out live versions of artists performances once I have seen all of the official m/v's but with the amount of people telling me to check out the live versions and skip the originals is mind blowing
@@spicybentvreacts generally speaking the live versions are better than the MV (when available) because of extra solos or other creative parts. The one exception I can think of is “Rinne”. The available live version is a cut-down shortened version of the song because it was recorded as part of a TV show promo. If you react to Rinne, be sure to watch the MV. You can make the argument that “Dice”, “Blooming”, and “Different” are better as MVs than the live versions, as well. I think they are about even soundwise, but the cinematography makes the MV better. Generally though, the live versions on the official Band-Maid channel are very high quality. The unofficial fan cam stuff is okay, some better than others, but obviously the sound quality is not nearly as good. There are some older “official” live versions of songs from Band-Maid’s older concert DVDs, but while they are professionally produced and sound amazing, they aren’t officially released on RUclips. They aren’t to hard to find elsewhere on the internet via “other means”. If you want to go down that route, look for “Puzzle (live)”, “Puzzle (acoustic live)”, “Don’t You Tell Me (live)”, “Take me Higher (live)”, and “Moratorium (live)”
Best band!
Go with Real Existence Live, Domination Live, Manners (I prefer the MV), Blooming and everything else everyone is suggesting. All of my suggestions are on their YT Channel - ruclips.net/channel/UCJToUvYrmkmTCR-bluEaQfA
Yo this was awesome bro. you might need to hit me up with that playlist later lol.
Of course
HOTD opening is made by Kishida Kyoudan and the akeboshi rocket, not really the same voice ^^
Yeah, i found this out a while ago
With stuff that is hard to get up, you are pausing right? If you let songs play through without a couple pauses- in some big labels case like once per 30 sec- then the songs wont go through..
Some stuff needs you to blur some/all of the music video as well as pause - it varies.
One tip I can give if you have trouble with a specific song, have a look at other reaction videos and see what those reactors have done different to get theirs up.
p.s Band-maid are incredible ) This is an averagey band-maid song - I dont think many fans will put this in their top 20- it got lots of requests because its brand new.
I appreciate this comment, however it didnt work for me. I tried all of the techniques. My channel cannot monetize videos yet, it will be a while to do that. The constant stopping and talking during the songs are (from what I have seen) are channels well over 1K subscribers, and they're trying to monetize their videos. I even experimented with blurring/turning off the music and even stopping multiple times during the music video. The result was it was still blocked from even being published.
Filmed at an abandoned rock quarry in Ibaraki Prefecture.
GREAT try BLOOMING my fav
Akane!!
Try Daydreaming
Band-Maid needs volume....... you need some.
If the music is too loud, my video gets flagged for some reason. I've taken advice from other content creators, being a small, new channel, i should be louder than the music playing. So that is what I ended up doing and it's worked out so far.
@@spicybentvreacts That’s just because most people don’t speak their mind. What happens when you are louder than the music is we listeners turn the volume up to hear the music, then when you start talking YOU are too loud and we have to turn the volume down…… so personally for me I just leave, I hate doing that but that’s too much messing around. Equalized volume is king, what does RUclips know…..Lol!!
@@_JimS Hmmm, isn't the point of the reaction video is to see the persons reaction and hear their take? I mean if you wanted to listen to the music, you could just watch the original video uninterrupted?
I'm probably sounding like a total prick but I am not intending to, I apologize if there is a misunderstanding.
Anyway, I try my best to equalize volume, but
1. not all videos are uploaded at the same volume decibel
2. I have to do multiple takes if I listen back on my original recording, which ruins the "true first reaction" if I need to reshoot it if I cant edit the sound level of the first recording.
I am speaking from my own personal experience though. I always try to take constructive criticism and experiment with it.
Thanks for the response and have a nice day!
They are the best live rock band on the planet. They can play any genre.
BTW, SONY and Warner are the worst content blockers. Usually, PONY Canyon, are also blockers, but they seem to have made an exception for BAND-MAID. Be sure to check out live BAND-MAID, Lovebites, SCANDAL, and so many more.
not their best by far
