Years ago, watching an early TV interview, I was struck when the host asked SAIKI, “What is your ‘charm point?” SAIKI’s demeanor was rather dark as she replied, “I have no ‘charm point.’” The host protested no, surely she must have a ‘charm point!” SAIKI’s response was a cool, “well, if you see one, please tell me.” Viewing from a country where boasting and self promotion seem essential, I was impressed by her self-effacing modesty. But it’s great to see how she’s blossomed since then.
1st off I’m the biggest Saiki and BAND-MAID fan on this planet. BAND-MAID writes INCREDIBLE songs. But without Saikis amazing tone and style, the songs would not be the same. Her voice is one of a kind and very distinctive. And beautiful. I absolutely LOVE BAND-MAID. Then5 of them coming together is a miracle that I’m so happy about. 8 billion people on Earth, and these 5 found eachother to make the worlds greatest rock band. I love them all and admire their talent.
In the bar with her mother, Saiki was just getting trained to be in a band with Misa. Thanks Mom. Excellent documentary. I could not imagine Band-Maid without Saiki. Her evolution has been amazing to watch. According to Mincho, Saiki is such an encouraging person. She completed Band-Maid and is now one of the best front person in a band.
"Encouraging person" reminds me that she was very encouraging to Kanami about the songs Kanami composed that were rejected by the production company. I think it's important to note that Saiki, in addition to her other talents and accomplishments, was instrumental in helping Kanami to become one of the greatest rock composers!
This additional information was necessary to get to know Saiki better and prove that she did not deserve this nickname of Ice Queen that was given to her when it was due to her extreme shyness. Today she simply became Queen Saiki. It was funny to learn that Miku thought they would have trouble getting along at the very beginning. Look at them now. Thanks Ohrenje.
They did have trouble at first. Miku is so extroverted socially, and with Saiki being so quiet and shy, Miku did not know how to relate. There is a video where Saiki was sitting quietly and Miku repeatedly poked her in the face like a bratty child, trying to get a rise out of her. It was said Saiki started kicking at her - I can see why, to keep her from getting close enough to do stuff like that. Thankfully they worked through all that and are now close and hang out together. Saiki even goes with her to horse races, where they each have their own strategies for betting.
As usual, it's was an absolute pleasure to work with you guys on this video... and a bit stressful too ngl LOL What can i say?, this 2.0 version of Saiki's documentary is even better than the first one. The amount of work, research, passion and hours put into this video must have been insane, but you did it great Ohrenje!, and ofc the voiceover by Kasper and Yuri are a big part of the success of this endeavor
Best band ever.... a group of misfits that gel like no other. May they be around for many more years. Live, they are just sensational. A night like no other.
Wow! Not just an update but a complete rewrite! Excellent information and thank you for filling in the details. Saiki is most impressive as a muscian and a stage presence. She is the perfect fit for this impressive band!
Saiki is a very interesting character. Don't know if you could squeeze in a couple of recent bits, eg Saiki has a driving licence and in the early days wuld go out for a drive with MISA, also drove the tour van. And her musical evolution with her starting to learn guitar and learning enough piano to play Choose Me in front of thousands of people.
My dream has come true. I so wanted remakes of the first four documentaries with the quality of Miku's documentary. I got what I wanted! And even more, because in the new version of the documentary, Saiki’s character is truly revealed! I remembered my first thoughts after watching the early BAND-MAID concerts. I always thought that Saiki looked very quiet and shy back then (this does not apply to singing songs - Saiki was always on top in songs). And if you look at her in concert at Yokohama Arena, it seems that she is a completely different person! The documentary told about this transformation of Saiki in detail. And what an emotional ending to the video! I almost cried again! :) Ohrenje knows how to make a video emotional! I really like the video editing! So cool to see all these old photos and videos! And I really like how Ohrenje edited the song "Don't you tell ME". I only realized that this was combining multiple videos while recording from the rehearsal studio. This is a very professional job! And I really liked Yuri Takashima's voice. She did an amazing job as a voice actor! Kasper's voice is amazing as always! Thank you for this amazing video and for the emotions this video gave!
Thanks, Ohrenje and team. I always saw Saiki as quiet but confident. It is inspiring to learn that she worked through her shyness to achieve her goals.
The previous Saiki documentary was already good, but this update is awesome! Well done Ohrenje and team for creating this series. I'm still hoping that one day we get an official documentary from the band but this will definitely the one we refer to until then.
What a fabulous re-edition of the Saiki portrait. Absolute fabulous job once again. You and your team raised the bar once more for this kind of documentary. Highly appreciate your greatful service for us fans. congratulations and thank you! ❤
What a wonderful story about this beautiful and talented lady. What would we do without her? Thank you Ohrenje for making our dreams come true and Kasper for uncanny narration skills! All of the BAND-MAID ladies are royalty to MAIDIACs like me.
The photo of Saiki hanging over the front of the train....Been there.. done it!...hehe..Unfortunately I didn't have anyone to take a photo of it..I was at the Kyoto Rail Museum in Jan 2023...After seeing the MAID's in Tokyo. (TGT)...Long May They Reign!👑
Thank you so much, Ohrenje, for highlighting a most spectacular personality and talent. BAND-MAID has been my #1 for years and will continue for years to come...and, SAIKI is a major part of why.
ok, I had to watch the first 15 minutes before commenting!😅 But I'm curious about a piece of the puzzle...which is...Miku recruited Kanami who brought in Akane and then Akane brought in Misa..but did Misa and Kanami ever meet each other before Band-Maid??🤔 Also, great info on Saiki's creative journey - she was trying to emulate Namier Amura, right? So I can only imagine how averse she was to the maid outfit...she was probably like "this is some silly gimmick" not a serious opportunity! LOLL...oh boyy...I'm sensing it was Akane and then probably Misa that first encouraged her to try it...hmmm...such an informative and interesting vid Ohrenje!!💥 thank you once again!🤘
"I don't want them to forget us" Sorry miss, but there is little chance of that happening. They are simply the best band currently touring, in my opinion.Thank you Ohrenje and Kasper for putting this together. Ngl, i cried. No other band on my many years on this planet has affected me this way. 「でも、そうなる可能性はほとんどない。私の意見では、彼らは現在ツアー中の最高のバンドだ。これをまとめてくれたOhrenjeとKasperに感謝する。Ngl、泣いたよ。この地球上で長年活動してきた中で、これほど私に影響を与えたバンドは他にない。
Ohrenje i can only say "Arigato" again for yours & everyone's hard work on producing these wonderful documentaries. They've already achieved legendary status amongst the Maidiac community.🤗
Ohrenje, mon ami, you have outdone yourself with this one! We are humbly grateful to you (and your helpers) for all the hard work that made this happen! I hope Saiki sees this, she will be so happy! We love you Sai-chan! 💙💙💙💙💙
Minha menina 🥹💜 Saiki é uma inspiração pra mim, me identifico tanto com ela ....espero algum dia poder vê-la cantar pessoalmente em meu país, brazil🇧🇷❤ My girl 💜 Saiki is an inspiration to me, I identify with her so much....I hope one day I can see her sing in person in my country, Brazil🇧🇷❤
From the very fist song I heard, Saiki was always my favourite BAND MAID member. - there is a lot of background here that I didn't know. - TYSM to the whole team for putting this together.
Brilliant, perfect, informative, respectful, interesting from start to finish. You've all created a masterpiece. Domo arigatou gozaimasu and merci beaucoup!
Saiki Sai-cahn Atsumi! after the first version who knew you could get me even MORE teared up watching a documentary about a shy Japanese woman who has changed my life for the better but will never know
Great documentary! The evolution, compared to previous documentary, is visible to the naked eye. Thanks again for another job done related to our favorite band.
Superbe documentaire beaucoup plus complet et plus 'sérieux' que le premier (mais sans être ennuyeux) :) J'espère que les autres documentaires subiront le même lifting, à mon avis ils deviendront un "must to view" :) Toutes mes félicitations :)
Un très grand merci pour ce documentaire de grande qualité. Et Bravo aux Maidiacs qui sont derrière cette énorme compilation d'information. Et vive Band Maid !!! 🤘
A really great new version that comes across a good deal more professional than v1 and conveys the information even better. And boy have you added a lot more stuff! :) The newly chosen footage fits perfectly too. 👍🏻 Greetings from Germany and thanks again to you Ohrenje and EVERYONE involved for the work you all put into this outstanding project! 🙏🏻 _____________________ 「 _"Our rock never dies ever. Forever!"_ 」 - from *BAND-MAID* - 'Manners' 🎶🕊
Wow, just outstanding, marvellous, I love it. The evolution of Saiki's voice through Don't you tell ME was spectacular. And the end with Puzzle acoustic fits perfectly! Very well done Ohrenje! ❤👏🏻
The European tour and then the Pandemic to the Nippon radio conversations Saiki Kobato’s vision for THE Band Saiki’s Evolution was making BAND-MAID to BAND-MADE❣💙🎤
That is awesome! Thank you very much, Ohrenje-Sensei!🙇 It is just impossible to estimate your hard work and dedication. Sir Kasper Michaels, thank you very much! It is always a pleasure to listen to the true professional. Can't stop admiring Saiki-Sensei and her growth as a musician and a person. It is just incredible! There were many trials in her life's journey... Really hope only good things will happen in the future and she will shine this world with her beautiful smile. She deserves it!
Ja, sie hat eine wundervolle altstimme! Und ich bin ein wenig traurig, dass ich schon zu alt bin, um noch viele Jahre lang diese wunderbare Stimme hören zu können!❤
Vielen Dank, eine sehr philosophische Antwort! Aber bei mir nicht ganz richtig: innerlich fühle ich mich immer noch wie 25, nicht wie 35. Die schlechte Seite ist: ich mache oft auch immer noch die selben Fehler wie mit 25! Frage meine Frau! LOL!
Great, great new version of Sai-chan’s documentary video!!👏👏👏 It contained some information I didn't know.😲 Thank you! Rimi Natsukawa is one of my fav singers. The song Nada Sousou used in this video was the song that made her nationally popular singer. There is a quite interesting story about her and this song, but that's another story (nothing to do with Band-Maid😏) Namie Amuro was one of the most popular singers in Japan, particularly for young girls. She is the only female singer who had albums with over a million sales in her 10s, 20s, 30s, and 40s. Both Natsukawa and Amuro were born in Okinawa which is my home prefecture.😉
Thank you, Ohrenje ! It seems all the superlatives have been used up by other comments. I can only add that, despite her shyness, I someday expect Saiki to walk into a studio to record a solo project. Something with a jazz or blues motif. Such a genre will draw out things from her that are begging to come out. There is more substance to her capabilities than pop or rock can showcase ! Her career trajectory has yet to realize it's height IMO ! ♥️🇯🇵
I want say that these amazingly high quality series of documentary work you have done is almost official or more. and I really enjoyed the story especially the situation when she first encounter of each other and how she impressed is more detailed , so interesting. Thank you Ohrenje-san. 👍
Thank you for this beautiful update on Saiki. Also, kudos on closing with her legendary acoustic rendition of Puzzle from Zepp Tokyo 2018. That okyuji was one for the books.
Thanks for the revamped documentary I seen saiki sip on the syrup between songs wondering what it was found out later also seen the ice bottle couple of times in after show photos thank you for your hard work keep listening to bandmaid ❤
Such a great job done on this by you, Kasper, and Yuri-san! The editing job for DYTM throughout the years was top tier! I can't wait to see what's next from you
C’EST UNE GRANDE DAME FORTE DE COURAGE ET UNE GRANDE DAME DE RELÈVE SI TALENTUEUSE ! .. HÉ PRENEZ SOIN DE VOUS ET VOTRE FAMILLE DAME SAIKI ! .. Singer L AMI M.r D.J .. D.J.(L) ..
I didn't think the documentary could be made any better, but I was obviously wrong. It is possible. So kudos to you and the team war this amzing work. Bit now i´m exited for the upgrades for the other documentary for Misa, Akane and Kanami. The docu for Miku is already perfection^^
Thank you Ohrenje for this excellent documentary about Saiki. She has become an outstanding singer, I love her voice. Looking forward to more Band-Maid documentaries.
I know the Japanese like their privacy, but I remember a documentary about the lovely group Mutant Monster (two sisters and a friend) where their mother was interviewed and it was very interesting. So I'd like to see Saiki's mother interviewed, but also Miku's, Misa's, Mincho's and Akane's mothers. I don't think that will ever happen (but maybe just their voices or a written note if they don't want to appear on screen?) It would be interesting to know what they thought of their daughter's career choice.
@@alxvdark it's less a problem than it was before - now, there's many female rock artists married with children who keep on playing (Tamu, Mayu, Miyako, Asami, Yuri, Toki ... ) so let's hope ...
Ohrenje, cast and crew another glorious documentary. Your story telling is fantastic, warming, entertaining and educating. With every BAND-MAID doc or special that you all do its like another layer of understanding and appreciation for the women of this band is added. Most bands have stories of how they came together and survived their first years, with BAND-MAID it's like a fairy tale. It's just that this fairy tale has 5 Princesses. As for Ohrenje-san, if there was a way to nominate you and your talented cast/crew for an independent documentary award myself and the growing family of BAND-MAID fans around the world would stuff those ballot boxes to the point they were bursting at the seams. Thank You as always. Bravo !!
Sai-chan being from Yamanashi makes me happy... It's also home to one of my favorite J-Rock bands (Remioromen, who unfortunately are on hiatus). Beautiful and serene place, just like her. Saiki has the poise and looks of aristocracy, so it's quite interesting she found her call in life with a band of crazy extroverts. But it's a match made in heaven, I just can't imagine B-M without her. I don't call her "Ice Queen" anymore because she's quite a lovely, warm person... ok, it's mere stage persona, but once she shows her full personality you know how awesome she is (a little pigeon push helps, po)😊
Thanks for the upgrade @ohrenje. It's hard to improve on perfection but, somehow you did it. I found that Saiki always looked a little sad in her earlier pictures. When you put up those two photo's side by side to compare (at 28:08), she looks so much happier and more confident now. Here's to celebrating another 10 years of Saiki and Band-Maid. Cheers!!!!

Saiki is #1 a fantastic rock singer! … incidentally, can we all just agree Saiki is the most beautiful woman in the world? 🕊️❄️🍌🥷🎸
Yes , SAIKI is I would say the Greatest Rock singer today ! very Beautiful as well !

こんな素晴らしいドキュメンタリーを作ってもらえるようなバンドになったんだな。。。
昔は、ビートルズから始まる大物ロックバンドしか見たことのないようなヒストリーを今やバンメが。。。凄い
この後３年、５年、10年と素晴らしい歴史を作っていくだろうバンメを見守ろうと思います。

今回も熱い解説をありがとうございます。
彩姫嬢は喉の手術も転機になったと思いますが、
何より日頃のトレーニング、体力作りも相当なものでしょう。
彼女のオリジナリティのある歌声は持って生まれたものではなく、
自身で作り上げた歌声だと思うと、胸が熱くなります。
Don't you tell Me の編集もさすがです。
というか、これができるのはBAND-MAIDだけではないでしょうか。
彼女達の演奏は、重ね合わせても、切ってつなげても、
一音もズレることなく繋がります。
同期音源を使っているので当然ではありますが、
それでもギターのカッティングからベースやドラムの細かい拍子まで、
全く違和感なく繋がるのには、やはり驚きます。
素晴らしい動画に感謝します。メンバー全員分の構成、創造、リサーチ全てパーフェクトです。まるで映画を観ているようなドラマティックな内容でした。強い部分やそうでない部分や内面的にもフォーカスされている、このシリーズがとても大好きです。

Thankfully they worked through all that and are now close and hang out together. Saiki even goes with her to horse races, where they each have their own strategies for betting.
内容の濃いとても良いビデオで感動しました！
ここ数年、特に2022のUSツアーでメンバーみんなも彩ちゃんも新しい何かをつかんだ感じがします。
アメリカのご主人様お嬢様の反応を見て、自分たちがやってきたことが間違っていないんだ！
自信もって今まで通り自分たちがやってきたことを貫けばいいんだって。
彩ちゃんなんて見た目も立ち居振る舞いも見るからに美しく自信満々に変貌を遂げたし、ボーカルの技術ももはや圧倒的としか言いようがない。
海外の方がBAND-MAIDの動画を作って世界に広めてくれるってうれしいね！
彩ちゃんの声優をやっている方も声に艶があっていいですね！応援しています。
Thanks so much!
I feel your LOVE for band-maid.
それぞれのメンバ－の成長が克明に描かれて最高です!!
Hope the Maids watch this and give a shout out to
BAND-MAIDのパズルという曲に初めましてのそんな一言でパズルピースのハマる音がしたという歌詞がありますが、彩姫さんはまさにBAND-MAIDにとっての最後のパズルピースだったんだなと、この動画をみて改めて思いました！！これからも世界征服のためには彼女の力が必要なので他のメンバーと共に頑張って欲しいです！！
SAIKIの声質というか歌い方というか、似てるんだよね、安室ちゃんに。

Namie Amuro was one of the most popular singers in Japan, particularly for young girls. She is the only female singer who had albums with over a million sales in her 10s, 20s, 30s, and 40s.
Both Natsukawa and Amuro were born in Okinawa which is my home prefecture.😉
Thank you, Ohrenje ! It seems all the superlatives have been used up by other comments. I can only add that, despite her shyness, I someday expect Saiki to walk into a studio to record a solo project. Something with a jazz or blues motif. Such a genre will draw out things from her that are begging to come out. There is more substance to her capabilities than pop or rock can showcase ! Her career trajectory has yet to realize it's height IMO ! ♥️🇯🇵
Wow, you're good. I thought the first one was great, but this was on another level. Thank you.
I want say that these amazingly high quality series of documentary work you have done is almost official or more. and I really enjoyed the story especially the situation when she first encounter of each other and how she impressed is more detailed , so interesting. Thank you Ohrenje-san. 👍
Great Job Ohrenje!!
Thank you for this beautiful update on Saiki. Also, kudos on closing with her legendary acoustic rendition of Puzzle from Zepp Tokyo 2018. That okyuji was one for the books.
Like Band-Maid you just keep getting better. Bravo!
The best documentary of Saiki❤❤❤❤❤ the complete version so far and tribute on her bday🎉..Ohrenje and the team…many thanks and ❤ you all
Amazing work.
Luv everything about Band-Maid. I just hope to be able to see them live someday...
Awesome documentary THANKS ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the revamped documentary I seen saiki sip on the syrup between songs wondering what it was found out later also seen the ice bottle couple of times in after show photos thank you for your hard work keep listening to bandmaid ❤
👏👏👏👏 Great job Ohrenje & crew!
Such a great job done on this by you, Kasper, and Yuri-san! The editing job for DYTM throughout the years was top tier! I can't wait to see what's next from you
I was about 4min behind you guys, but I'm here. Great work Big "O".......as usual.
Wow!. This has been a ride. What a fabulous job, full of quality and emotion. Thank you!!
I really enjoyed those rare clips and photos you dug up. That would be cool if Saiki got to sing Rokko Oroshi at a Hanshin Tigers game.
C’EST UNE GRANDE DAME FORTE DE COURAGE ET UNE GRANDE DAME DE RELÈVE SI TALENTUEUSE ! .. HÉ PRENEZ SOIN DE VOUS ET VOTRE FAMILLE DAME SAIKI ! .. Singer L AMI M.r D.J .. D.J.(L) ..
Thank you again. Great update. Lovin’ every minute of it 🔥❤️
Another amazing video/documentary Ohrenje!
She is one beautiful woman who's talent in singing is fantastic outstanding voice I love her❤
The first one was great, but you've outdone yourself, this was wonderful. Can't thank you enough for all the hard work you put into these bio's.
I didn't think the documentary could be made any better, but I was obviously wrong. It is possible. So kudos to you and the team war this amzing work. Bit now i´m exited for the upgrades for the other documentary for Misa, Akane and Kanami. The docu for Miku is already perfection^^
Thank you Ohrenje for this excellent documentary about Saiki. She has become an outstanding singer, I love her voice.
Looking forward to more Band-Maid documentaries.
I know the Japanese like their privacy, but I remember a documentary about the lovely group Mutant Monster (two sisters and a friend) where their mother was interviewed and it was very interesting. So I'd like to see Saiki's mother interviewed, but also Miku's, Misa's, Mincho's and Akane's mothers. I don't think that will ever happen (but maybe just their voices or a written note if they don't want to appear on screen?) It would be interesting to know what they thought of their daughter's career choice.
I know the document you're talking about! That was good. Ugh I miss that band...
@@alxvdark do you know Meana ( guitar/ vocals) just get married?
@@realdocloco Yeah I saw her announcement on Instagram! Don't know what this means about the future (if any) for their band...
@@alxvdark it's less a problem than it was before - now, there's many female rock artists married with children who keep on playing (Tamu, Mayu, Miyako, Asami, Yuri, Toki ... ) so let's hope ...
Wow I enjoyed this tremendously Saiki you rule
Saiki part 2. glad that you brought the view of Mt. Fuji from Yamanashi. Oshinomura is a good spot for sight viewing if you visit Yamanashi :)
Ohrenje, cast and crew another glorious documentary. Your story telling is fantastic, warming, entertaining and educating. With every BAND-MAID doc or special that you all do its like another layer of understanding and appreciation for the women of this band is added. Most bands have stories of how they came together and survived their first years, with BAND-MAID it's like a fairy tale. It's just that this fairy tale has 5 Princesses. As for Ohrenje-san, if there was a way to nominate you and your talented cast/crew for an independent documentary award myself and the growing family of BAND-MAID fans around the world would stuff those ballot boxes to the point they were bursting at the seams. Thank You as always. Bravo !!
Great new episode with nice additions from the previous documentary. Really looking forward to see whats new in the other episodes to come.
I already know this is gonna be most excellent Po!🕊🚅🎎
FANTASTIC !! Thank you all who were involved, you have given us something very special !
That was great. A lot of details I haven’t seen anywhere else. Thank you for this.
Sai-chan being from Yamanashi makes me happy... It's also home to one of my favorite J-Rock bands (Remioromen, who unfortunately are on hiatus). Beautiful and serene place, just like her.
Saiki has the poise and looks of aristocracy, so it's quite interesting she found her call in life with a band of crazy extroverts. But it's a match made in heaven, I just can't imagine B-M without her.
I don't call her "Ice Queen" anymore because she's quite a lovely, warm person... ok, it's mere stage persona, but once she shows her full personality you know how awesome she is (a little pigeon push helps, po)😊
And most excellent Po! it was...🥰
Thanks for the upgrade @ohrenje. It's hard to improve on perfection but, somehow you did it. I found that Saiki always looked a little sad in her earlier pictures. When you put up those two photo's side by side to compare (at 28:08), she looks so much happier and more confident now. Here's to celebrating another 10 years of Saiki and Band-Maid. Cheers!!!!
Oh man!!!! I can't wait!
I'm working overtime this whole weekend, but taking time to watch this👍
