1. You've got a very very cool mom. 2. Nice air toms. 3. Never try to judge a Band-Maid song until the 40th listen. For real. Cheers, dawg - hope to be waiting in line with you guys again for another Band-Maid show someday.
Thanks for stopping by! My mom is very cool! Its awesome going to JROCK shows with her! Shes always hesitant to get on camera but when its all said and done, she does enjoy it. Yeah its difficult to really get a feel for a BAND-MAID song upon first listen, thats something I struggle with. Yeah I cant wait for the next US Tour!
Shreddawg, I'm glad you introduced Mom (your bestie) to this song. The best word to describe "Bestie" is beautiful. In every way. "Bestie" is a song that makes you fall in love with Band-Maid even more. All of them seem to have a natural feel for the music they create. What a group!!!!!
Yeah it was a great song to share with mom. I wouldnt be where I am today without her support so I do my best to keep her included in everything I do, including going to JROCK shows! This song is just a very mature sound, not that BAND-MAID havent already matured in their sound... Its almost like another evolution... idk, its difficult to eplain.
Yeah you are right. I remember it was someone from Incubus but didnt remember who. It makes more sense it would be the guitarist while listening to the intro of the song.
Yes Kanami is great. For some reason when she breaks into her solo and it is a silouette of her with the guitar head pointing skyward it reminds me of Godzilla roaring to the sky
Yeah, It would have be nice to hear more what she thought and felt, because obviously she had something to say and she’s very humble. It was kind of uncomfortable to watch, it felt kind of disrespectful - I know it wasn’t mean so.😊 please more Mom, but then let her talk first and uninterrupted maybe 👍
@@cholatse6745 My mom actually didnt have much to say. When she said she was speechless, she meant it. My mom is very much NOT an extrovert like I am. She is also not super comfortable on camera. At the end of the day, if you didnt enjoy the video, 仕方がない.
They have a ton of instant bangers, but what I’ve realized is their songs are always growers. A few of my favorites I wasn’t as high on until I heard it a few times and it just keeps getting better and better because there’s so much you can discover that you previously never noticed. When I first heard this song I thought it was good, kinda wished it wasn’t all English, but then just said to myself wait til I hear it a couple more times and sure enough it’s addicting just like the others and quite a tear jerker if you’re caught off guard.
Yeah thats a very good point. I always say its difficult to pick up on everything upon first listen. Its always difficult to make a statement about how I feel about a song upon first listen. 😅 Some songs you instantly fall in love with and others slowly grow on you. No matter what, you always find more hidden gems in the background with subsequent listens. Its one of the reasons I love this band. Their song always sounds fresh every time you hear them.
Bestie, in the vein of other great mid-tempo Band-Maid songs like Daydreaming, About Us, Memorable, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, Wonderland, Awkward, Start Over, Mirage, At the Drop of a Hat and Smile, was co-written by Michael Einziger of Incubus. MISA's playing and bass tone are setting new standards... and Akane's drumming is so in-the-pocket and distinguishable... and Kanami's solo is Daydreaming masterful! The recording and mix are as enjoyable as the song and beautiful MV! And Miku’s English lyrics are heartfelt. Is Band-Maid a band of fashion-forward, trend-setting Besties? 💞 Thx, Mikey, Band-Maid and Shredder & Mama Dawg! FYI - The Maids just released a "Making of Bestie" on their websites where they explain the song and look of their awesome MV.
Interestingly enough, Wonderland is one of my favorite songs by BAND-MAID. Its probably in my top 5. Daydreaming/Memorable are up there as well. Even PAGE and Awkward are amazing song. ...Ok all the songs are pretty damn good lol. All the ladies are just incredible at what they do. Thanks for stopping by! Also, thanks for the heads up on the "Making of Bestie", I havent seen it yet!
This song was amazing to see live. I didn't see it debut live at the Incubus concert, but I did see it live shortly after at the Day of Maid Okyu-ji at Zepp Haneda. Love seeing Mom totally lost in the music. I was totally lost into the song too. Arm up, eyes closed, rocking back and forth, singing along.... So the next time you can go see them, do it! I think this song is really designed to reach a non-heavy rock audience and draw them to experience the greatness known as Band-Maid. On to the next reaction with Mom! PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘
Oh wow you saw it live? Thats awesome! BAND-MAID is best listened to live for sure! I think my mom really would have enjoyed it. So far I think her favorite song live was "From Now On" and I cant blame her. That song really is played with so much emotion it really grabs a hold of you.
Haha! It’s still a 🔟 for me! Beautiful music and lyrics. Kanami’s solo took it over the top. Normally the music videos are a secondary thought for me but this one was impressive.
Hi. Yes we can only love Bestie. I also looked for, at first listen, the complex and unique style of Band-Maid, which we all know, and I was surprised that they could take this alt-rock riff, unusual for them, and make it a song that still sounds like Band-Maid to our ears. They have this rare ability to adapt to all genres of rock without disrupting their own sound. The collaboration song with The Warning is another aspect of this successful adaptation quality. Thank you both.
Yes, the sound was unexpected which caught me off-guard. The song really is impressive though. There is not many other bands that can execute such a wide variety of sounds with the same precision as BAND-MAID.
Yeah moms are awesome! Shes loved the shows she attended and cant wait for more! She even enjoyed NEMOPHILA twice! My mom also originally picked the red glasses as well! I picked the MISA glasses because purple is my favorite color and because I have never been so impressed with a bassist like MISA. She is in a league of her own for sure.
@@Shreddawg I'd love to take my 84 year old mom to a Maid okyu-ji, might get the rail with her. 😆Though I did take my daughter last year to a one, in turn she's taking me to Atarashii Gakko in Chicago this October.
Hey Shreddawg! It's great to see you, and of course your mom again on here. I hope everything is great with both of you. I suspect we will be getting new videos soon, at least I hope so. They did a collaboration with The Warning a couple of weeks ago, but they haven't officially released a video of it yet, but somebody posted some fan-cam footage of it, and a bunch of reactors earned channel strikes because of it. The Maids do already have another song for an anime "Protect You" and there is a TV version of a video for it that you can find, but there isn't an official video for it yet. The last I heard they are currently planning an August release for their next album, which hopefully means we will get some new videos to promote the album, and hopefully they will do some kind of world tour to promote the album even though that is all speculation (or wishful thinking) on my part. NEK! released a teaser for a new video coming soon. Saki put out a video "The Empress" about 8 days ago that is really good. PaleNeo and Lonesome blue have been releasing new videos lately too. Hagane put out an audio-only track recently and will be releasing either an album or an EP soon, if they haven't already. Please take care and have an awesome week. Say "Hello" to your mom for me and give her my best wishes.
Yes, im happy I was able to post this! Its been quite busy with work! I heard about the video and the copyright issues, it was pretty unfortunate to hear about that. Yeah I think I saw the outro for the anime with the song was posted but I havent watched it. Hopefully that album does drop in August! Ill probably just pick it up at Tower Records when I go back to Japan in October. A tour would be nice as well but I think they will go to the EU. I am eagerly awaiting that new NEK! song! That band is awesome! I need to check out that PaleNeo as well for sure! Theres a lot of songs dropping lately but I havent had much time unfortunately >.> Ill tell my mom you said hi!
I love that Miku as usual is singing backup but also Kanami, But I have only seen Akane is also lending her voice, I have only seen her sing in the Acoustic Christmas concert before this song.
@@polskabob359 I was referring to the guy from Incubus. I thought it was the vocalist that worked on the song. I did not know it was the guitarist from Incubus.
Unfortunately I am going to miss that show. I already purchased tickets to see Mass of the Fermenting Dregs since I missed their US tour last year when I was in Japan. I cant get out of work 2 weeks in a row. >.>
Hi mom! sorry I am late. I wanted to set this aside because I knew it was long and wanted to watch in one sitting :) . It was wonderful to watch the 2 of you together. While its not my favorite BAND MAID song it is my favorite reaction to it ❤.
Yeah... theres a good chance one of my videos will be long. You add a 2nd person the mix though? You already know youre gonna be in it for the long haul lol XD You are too kind! Ill let my mom know you enjoyed the video!
Cool mum, maybe more open to change listens to a song with no preconceived ideas about what the band is going to do , wheras you were possibly expecting them to gi in hard and fast
Yeah shes really cool. Shes seen so many great bands throughout the years because of my dad. She instantly fell in love with the song taking it for what it was. I definitely went in with a bias and had certain expectations. ...What can I say? Mom is always right. XD
Mama's face on Kanami's solo made me happy.
Yeah she enjoys herself a nice Kanami solo!
Kanami so angelical looking and shredding with a ponytail -Hi MoM nice to meet you.
Thank you! I loved everything about this song and Kanami is exceptional on the guitar, she never disappoints.
All the ladies look great!
1. You've got a very very cool mom. 2. Nice air toms. 3. Never try to judge a Band-Maid song until the 40th listen. For real. Cheers, dawg - hope to be waiting in line with you guys again for another Band-Maid show someday.

So true! Hate, Bestie and Unleash!!!!! took me a while "get it".
@@chrisegbertky Yeah it happens. Once they click for you though, its pretty amazing.
Hi Mom, Thanks for reacting to this beautiful song
Ill let my mom know you enjoyed the video!
To us a quote- Kanami looks so beautiful, and the ponytail". She has also inherited Miku's wings.
My mom has a keen eye!

This song is just a very mature sound, not that BAND-MAID havent already matured in their sound... Its almost like another evolution... idk, its difficult to eplain.
I think the lead guitarist from Incubus is the one who wrote this song with Kanami.
Yeah you are right. I remember it was someone from Incubus but didnt remember who. It makes more sense it would be the guitarist while listening to the intro of the song.
Mikey-chaaaan! 😂
Bestie is constantly growing in me.
Yeah, the more I hear it the more I enjoy it. Definitely signs of a great song!
日本から失礼します。

また、日本の素晴らしい方々のために、日本語字幕を書けるように頑張ります。:)
Yes Kanami is great. For some reason when she breaks into her solo and it is a silouette of her with the guitar head pointing skyward it reminds me of Godzilla roaring to the sky
Hahaha I know what you mean. Shes just a monster when she picks up that guitar XD
*Shut up, Mom is vibing!* don't pause the song while your mom is vibing 🤣😂🤣😊
Right! 😎😂
Lol yeah, I talk too much XD
That's on a par with pausing in a Mincho solo.😳

Ill let my mom know you enjoyed it! :D
Bestie一曲でShreddawgさんのリアクションが2回も見られました。
2回目は素敵なお母さんもいます👍
私にとってはとてもラッキーです❣😊
うれしいメッセージをありがとう。
私は通常、同じ曲に何度も反応することはない。そのため、母が私と一緒にリアクションを撮ることに同意してくれて嬉しかった。母にビデオを楽しんだと伝えておくよ。
きっと喜んでくれるよ。
Shreddawgのband-maidに対する評価の仕方はワタシも非常に同意出来るもので所謂忖度は敢えてしないという事です。率直に感じた事を言う事は確かに誤解を招く場合もあるが本心と違う事を言う事によって余計におかしな方向に行く方が本当の意味で誤解を招きます。ワタシの考えでは完璧なモノや100%備わっているモノほど魅力が無いという事実に基づくからです。人間は何かしら足りないが故に魅力的だし惹き付けられるし価値がある､､人間の感情も理性も個人も環境も音符とリズムに変えて聴かせ人を震わせてくれる不思議な存在がワタシにとってのband-maidです。考えさせてくれる素晴らしい動画をありがとう、Shreddawg😃👍
ps : 素敵なママへの言及はこの次に😃
雄弁なコメントをありがとう。たとえそれが不評な意見であっても、私は常に自分の正直な気持ちを伝えるようにしている。私は自分が間違っているときや、結論を急ぎすぎたときは、喜んでそれを認める。結局のところ、僕はただ自分が好きな曲や自分が発見した音楽を投稿したいだけなんだ。ユーチューブでお金は稼いでない。僕はただ、いい音楽を楽しみ、世界中の素敵な人たちと話したいだけなんだ。あなたのような人たちがビデオを見てくれて、いいメッセージを残してくれることにとても感謝している。素敵なメッセージをありがとう。母にビデオを楽しんだと伝えておくよ。
Mom rocks! I have a red pair of the glasses. It's great that she's been to a couple shows. 🤘
