    Saiki is the real dark queen of rock today in the world, she also wanted her to have a vampire smile, she can make your hair stand on end when she sings a few meters away from you, and you at the end of the concert you will be absolutely in love with her, you cannot have hope to save yourself.
    She will lower in front of you and you will hear his natural voice while his hand with very long fingers will dance in front of your face and you will sink into a well of emotion.
    Akane at first will seem exaggerated and invasive, but then you will understand that no one today can play the drums like her, she is the hammer of God.
    At the band maid, concert mixing is set a lot on bass and drums, and you can vibrate with Misa throughout the concert in a whirlwind of low notes that you can't even imagine if you don't go to see them in concert.
    Misa's bass and Akane's drums are truly an explosive mix, but at the concert, you will discover the incredible rhythms on Miku's guitar which is always out of phase and in counterpoint creating really new rhythmic atmospheres, and then weaves crazy choruses with Saiki.
    in the end, Kanami transforms her guitar into a generator of emotions, she can go on phrasing throughout a song in a way that if you don't go to a concert you can't even understand.
    She can do things at the speed of light that no one else can but by keeping a soul and an emotion, she does not just do scale exercises.
    In conclusion, I went to a Band-Maid concert hit by a friend, and I was stunned, I felt the same forgotten emotions that I felt with the super bands of the 70s and 80s, it was like being at a Led Zeppelin concert, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Rush, Queen, maybe even better. and I have seen these bands all in concert even many times.
    After that incredible evening, I chased the Band-Maid for Europe for a whole week to see other concerts.
    Incredible concerts in small theaters where I was in the front row 50 centimeters from Saiki, where I dodged the neck of Kanami's guitar that could break my teeth, they are powerful and they have fun while playing, their concerts are something truly unique and indescribable, from a few meters you can see Akane, a slender 165 cm girl who plays with the power of John Bonham for 2 hours in a row continuing to smile and looking around at the spectators.
    Akane is supernatural believe me.
    Go to the Band-Maid concert and then maybe you can even die.

    What drives me nuts is that Miku doesn't get near the love she deserves But it really says a lot about Miku as a person. Miku brought all these crazy talented musicans together and just let them all shine! She doesn't let her ego get in the way.
    I read this somewhere. Once upon a time there was this pretty girl who liked pigeons. One day she decided to form a band. At that time she just happened to know a brilliant guitarist/song writer, Who just happened to know a brilliant drummer, who just happened to know a brilliant bassist. Then Saki-Sama made everything perfect!

    You need to check out Alone sometime. It's a very important song in their discography as it's the first song that the band wrote totally on their own that was allowed to be released on an album. It marks the beginning of Band-Maid as we know them today.

  • @ernestnesbon
    @ernestnesbon 4 года назад +84

    Dice is like a BAND-MAID anthem.
    At least for me since it was the first song I heard from them. Late, but what a hell of a discovery. Miku is there, but their voices are so similar that you can't tell them apart. It sounds as if Saiki's voice was layered, but it's actually Miku. The new released Wonderland (Live) shows more of their progressive side.
    Your summary of why you like their music so much is spot on. The definition of BAND-MAID.
    RockOn!

    A lot of the time in the chorus, Miku will follow the vocal melody an octave lower, then break away for a showy harmony for punctuation. Her voice and Saiki's meld so effortlessly together, which sounds amazing in live recordings but sometimes does hide Miku in studio sessions.

      Be VERY careful reacting to Glory. That's usually the one that gets the strikes. It probably has something to do with the fact that we're dealing with multiple companies, Revolver Records (BM's label), whatever company owns Yugi-oh and who know who else.

      It's funny, 'Blooming' sounds like an Anime Theme, and even though they have songs that are anime themes, 'Blooming' isn't one, yet. Still it is, to me, the perfect Power Pop song, and would make a great Anime Theme Song, even better than 'Glory'.

  • @stanleyday7293
    @stanleyday7293 4 года назад +9

    Thanks for the very interesting and educational reaction! While Band Maid may not get the play or recognition that they deserve, more and more musicians (like yourself) are discovering them and listening. The musicians tend to be surprised by their creativity, scale and chord selection (not just blues, but jazz scales and drum patterns, punk, funk, pop, etc., their ability to seamlessly merge all of those genres, the differences and nuances in the verses, the willingness to take risks and utilize multiple riffs in a single song (not afraid of composer's block), the willingness to rework songs for live performances, etc. Did you know that Kanami has rewritten a number of songs to take advantage of Miku's improving technical abilities on the guitar? Kanami is a very proud sensei! I think we will see more of that in the future, including a few lead breaks for Miku at some point.
    I think the musicians are really surprised to discover that while Band Maid has a gimmick they ARE NOT a gimmick. These ladies are virtuosi, and outwork almost every other band out there. I believe that they will be very influential. We'll start to see other musicians raising their game and level of effort.

You obviously know what you are talking about and that's a lot better than some numnut jumping around pulling his t shirt over his head being overwhelmed staring at the camera in shock even walking out of the room and coming back in. I hate those people . What I would like to see as BAND MAID don't seem to copyright anyone is for a reactor to play and listen to the song then play it again stopping at key points to analyze and comment. I think that would be great but you did a good job. Just having a genuine appreciation is the main thing.

    Nice reaction. What you might also have found lacking in Freedom was that it was not actually written by Band Maid. It also did not quite sound like a Band Maid song to me either, even though I enjoyed the hell out of the performance (Achan on those drums yeah!). Note also that Cross (recently posted on their YT page along with Wonderland) is not actually written by them either (I'd react to Wonderland instead - it's a beauty).

    • @rmdcade1717
      @rmdcade1717 4 года назад +1

      "Wonderland" is my favorite from _Conqueror,_ but I like "Cross" as well, both studio and live. It feels like they took a third-party written song and used it as an experiment. Not a showstopper, but still fun and definitely something they made their own.

    • @drogonr9318
      @drogonr9318 4 года назад

      @@rmdcade1717 Cross is a great song also, I agree, and maybe some of the individual parts were arranged by some BM members, but the overall song arrangement I don't believe BM had a hand in. It's a fun listen but if I'm going to recommend a BM song for a YT reactor (with limited time), I think I'd prefer to recommend one actually written and arranged by BM, as there are so many great ones, such as Wonderland. This particular reactor appears to be appreciate interesting songwriting: I'd recommend Yolo (MV), Moratorium (live), and Daydreaming (MV or live).

    Both 'Freedom' and 'Domnination' LIVE were recorded at Line Cube in Shibuya. And though the performances were great, It's not their best LIVE recordings. Room mics are fine for picking up audience response, but then the instruments sound very unfocused. The bass especially is lost in the room ambiance. Yes, Miku's backup vocals often blend in so well they sound like a chorus with doubling has been put on Saiki's voice. But if you watch the LIVE songs from Sound Coast or the Zepp Tokyo LIVE concerts, the Doubled Chorus is on Miku's vocals. So it's sounds like Kanami is singing too, which frees her up to concentrate on the leads. She only pitches in to help on the vocals for the Chants and on the Soft Acoustic Ballads. But any Bassists who say their's no money past the 5th Fret obviously haven't seen MISA's playing., especially on Lead Bass and her Call & Response "Battles" with Kanami.

    Secret my lips MV you can hear miku much more than most other MVs, I would suggest if you want something that really blows your mind, watching secret my lips as your next MV you do when you get done with the 2 new lives, then afterwards listening to Band Maid's official rival band Band Maiko and their song "secret maiko lips" :D

    I’m telling you... the things you like about them are showcased in the live version of “Real Existence”. The bridge in that song... let’s just say it’s better than anything you’ve heard yet from them.

    This band is really very eclectic, not only in the style of their songs but in the elements that compose them. Pop, punk, funk, hard, metal ... man, even calypso if that's possible (Matador). For me, however, the adjective that suits them best is Progressive. The song Wonderland is a great example of that.

    hell yeah Wonderland sound like a great next plan, you gonna love saiki's falsetto.
    anyway talking about their live performance, imo Play and Puzzle are the two song that really highlight how much better they are during live.
    id like to suggest more bandmaid songs next but it gonna get endless lol. how about a change of pace and check out Unlucky Morpheus, they described themselves as neoclassical melodic speed metal. like bandmaid they are amazing in every department, great songwriting, great live, great technical play, and they got phenomenal vocal. i might hype them too much but they are just that good. anyway check their song Cadaver/Revadac if you are interested. fyi Revadac is basically Cadaver played backward.
    edit: forgot to add this, i love your breakdown of their music's structure, keep it up dude.

    It's so rare to have a band so consistently put out solidly written, catchy and fun songs. Like even Rush has some awkward songs, you know? There's only one other group, well, a duo but yeah, who I've never heard a bad song from. They're super different from anything you listen to here, but Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer have some of the best songwriting I've ever encountered.
    Being a folk group, they're much more lyrically focused, but their musicianship is fantastic, too. Dave Carter (RIP 2002) was a master of that really fast acoustic fingerpicking you see from bluegrass players sometimes. I read an interview where Tracy said they would rewrite a song 20 or 30 times before calling it good, and that effort shows. Because like I said, no bad songs.
    It's hard to describe what they were about. I mean they have a sad cowboy song about Lancelot, and a rip-roaring tall tale from a trucker about how he survived driving down a mountain in a snowstorm. So yeah if you want examples of fantastic lyrical composition, I highly recommend them. Not metal in the least, though.

    Lots of awesome tracks you can look forward to, but at some point you should check out their April Fool's 'joke' Band Maiko, particularly Gion Cho. Gorgeous MV, great track, lots of silliness, Miku gets some lovely harmonies.

    Freedom is actually a really early song. So it wasn’t quit where they would get to latter on. There’s a live version of freedom that’s pretty old now and it’s not nearly as good as the 2018 or 2020 version of the song. The girls have a lot more involvement in the production of the albums after the first couple and the production got much better, or maybe be smarter.

    Wonderland, the live version is one of the two they put up this week, is a bit different than what you've heard so far but I hope it's the beginning of more experimentation from Kanami The Great (yup, she's royalty now and she's great so there :p). Looking forward to your reaction of it.
    Dice used to be the studio version song I'd go to when I wanted to introduce someone to the band. I'd rather use live versions of well, anything but some people prefer studio recordings so now I use Blooming. I do it because, well, you'll hear.
    Eventually.

    Come here because of your Red Velvet reactions and here I found that you're already covering Band Maid. Best of both worlds I guess. Please consider react to Band Maid Anemone - Puzzle live. It's a beautiful acoustic piece with only Saiki and Kanami on stage. Greetings from Argentina.

    Great reaction and I really enjoy your analysis of their music, this is the primary reason I subbed your channel. This band deserves to get as much exposure and support as possible to help them continue to write and perform great songs. Right now it's only YT that is helping spread the word about how great they are and your breaking down the different techniques that they use will help convince more people just how great they are, so a big thank you for continuing to highlight this band and explaining to doubters just how really good they are.

  • @tmcmehan

    Freedom is one of their earlier songs when they were on a smaller label and the production value wasn't nearly as good as their more recent work. I'm sure that had something to do with the regular recording being rather lacking (which I agree with).
    Also, yes, they have some below average songs. It's impossible for bands to not have them. But I will say that the % of songs that I would say are "skippable" is remarkably low.
    Lastly, I feel that Kanami's songwriting took a step forward on Conqueror, their most recent release. I don't believe you have reacted to any of those yet. Will be interested to see if you agree.

    • @monke-mk5
      @monke-mk5 4 года назад

    Obviously you have to go for the new live performances. But if you want to shake things up a bit as well: Heading in one direction you have Lovebites ( try the songs Shadowmaker or When destinies align ). Or heading in the other the band that got me into Band Maid and Lovebites to begin with: Mutant Monster ( Not many MV's out there but go for Abnormal or 離してあげる ). If you want more info on either let me know, but I kinda want to let you walk into seeing them without knowing what you are in for. 👍
