Man, your analysis of this song has made me hear new things and appreciate the musicality of this song even more than I did before. The way you talk about hearing the person behind the instrument and their immense level of talent was beautiful. And also the way you saw it as a positive thing when their riff brought you back to one you recognized from a band you love was refreshing, rather than letting that turn you off, it made you feel good. Also love the line "don't hear what I'm not saying". I need to remember that. 😅
Genuinely grateful you took the time to watch and comment on this one buddy. Appreciate all the kindness. This band is something special and I'm on my way to go and watch your breakdown right now. 🙏🙏🙏
@@ChaseCarneson Highly recommend watching his one-man covers (he had to work really hard for them, especially Akane's bits!) oh.. and welcome back btw ... missed you
This is the channel that started my interest in BAND-MAID and now they are my favorite band. Thank you Chase for coming back to them. I can’t wait to hear your analysis of the song, especially because BAND-MAID is (again) doing BAND-MAID things ✌🏻
Chase was not my first reactor to BM, but after hearing his analysis the others paled in comparison. Chase and Wave Potter took reacting to a whole new level.
The perfect radio length. Leave you wanting more. ;) To be fair, this one is shorter than practically all their other songs I think. I don't know where you extend it though.
They haven't played anywhere in front of an audience since February 2020. They are playing some festivals and a few shows in August and September in Japan, and then a US tour in October. Next year will be their 10th anniversary, so everyone is expecting their largest (world) tour ever.
I didn´t really listened to the music of arctic monkeys, but when i heard unleash by B-M for the first time, my first guess for that familiar sounding riff was arctic monkeys. I´m glad i remembered it correctly!😀
One of the aspects of Band Maid that I love the most is that while you can still hear the Band Maid "sound", it never sounds like a rehashed version of something old. They always manage to bring something new and wonderful to their songs. They have updated Battle Armor (what I've read they call their outfits) for the coming US tour. I have a suspicion that this may be the opening song as it represents a triumph over the darkness that was preventing them from coming together and playing, and of their unleashing (new EP and tour).
"World domination doesn't happen in a week" Well said, and I'm sure the ladies are aware of that as well, since they answer to that in the song with the filler-sounding lyric line 'Dan! Dan! Di, di, dan! Dan!' which actually translates to 'little by little'. :) I am so grateful and happy for them that they can finally get out there again and do what they obviously love and what you mentioned. Playing in front of an audience. This also increases the chances that I might be able to see them live in person sometime in the future. And should this result in them becoming the big and famous band that we all want them to be, I will surely be one of the first to celebrate. But until then and after almost 3 years of knowing them, I'm happy that I found this band, and I'm looking forward to every new release because I know it's going to be good. I still have the premiere chat open here right now and see the comment from 80mtn: "Thanks Chase. Your reactions are like Band-Maid songs. You can't get a bad one!" I can only agree with that! As always, it was a pleasure to listen to your thoughts on this song and the band in general. So, Thank You for that and for the continuous support of Band-Maid.

Hi Chase. Message from Japan. I am a huge fan of BAND-MAID and your RUclips channel. I am so glad you came back to regular reaction to my favorite band. Last Wednesday, I enjoyed BAND-MAID live in Osaka Japan. Two and half year time, we have been waiting for their live show. It was a live house less than 1000 capacity, but a great moment. Everyone was excited and looked very happy. They played new songs including instrumental one. I should say BAND-MAID is doing band maid's things. I hope the girls would have big success in US tour. And hopefully have European tour next year. If so I would like to go to London and see you there. Until then, be safe, have a damn good day.
Thank you Chase for coming back to Band-Maid! A case can be made that they are the first band in 30 years are are truly inventing a new genre of music. It's so much more than rock.
I guess this song is proving to be divisive among fans. While everyone is entitled to their opinion, I am absolutely loving this song. It's a grower for sure, being in the same vein as Different and Sense. Funnily enough they all have something to do with Anime in some form. Great reaction!
Great reaction as always, but what really struck me with this video is how well it matches the timing in the song, even down to little things like the hand movements of the dilation of the pupil in tune with the music :)
Hey man glad you've found Love in your life and Super Glad you're doing Band-Maid reactions again. I know there is a contingent of crummy fans out there but the large majority are Super glad to see you reacting to them and again and teaching us why we Love them
Starting from Thrill... Band-Maid is proving to be way better than we ever thought they would be. And every year since 2014, I thought they were among the best I'd ever heard ! WOW !! What's to come !!! Whoops, I mean, !!!!!
You have again managed to make me enjoy a song by my favorite band even more. Which is really impressive and I am grateful for it. If you need some Band-Maid between this and the next new song, I recommend Daydreaming music video or the No God live performance from their official channel. Daydreaming has one of my favorite guitar solos of all time that. It initially feels just a bit jarring and out of place, but by the end of it feels like an amazingly appropriate and emotionally impactful solo. No God is like a Misa Bass showcase. Thanks again. Also awesome to see Ryan Mear and Wave Potter in the comments here checking out your stuff and admiring the work of a fellow reactor.

Cannot explain how happy I am to see brother Chase in my feed. The riff at the beginning is uber simple - 4 chords? Akane sticks in my head at that point in the song. :) So good to hear you doing their music again. Thumbs up for Chase!
Even simpler than that, but that’s the beauty of it sometimes. Intricate does not always mean better. Often I find the opposite. Appreciate you always 🙏
This song, which starts with vocals, has a momentary sound of Saiki breathing in, but I noticed it on the 10th time. A wonderful moment, a new charm of the song.
Another Great Reaction!! Thank You...Almost a year listening to them and watching your reactions...Just got tickets....October 30th cant come quick enough for me.....its gonna be awesome!!! .....Maidiacs Unite !!!
Always great to see you back with a BAND-MAID reaction/analysis, Chase! Every new thing they release blows my mind, at least in the simple fact that I am constantly amazed at how much enjoyment I get from their music. Did you ever do Manners/Black Hole? I know you've reacted to Manners before, but, as always, the live one is superior, and I still really want to witness your reaction to Black Hole.
They went all out hard core punk with this one. I'm sure I would have noticed it eventually, but it was pointed out on a fan page that the opening scenes are "recreations" of earlier videos. Saiki is on the set of Blooming. Akane is on the set of Domination. Kanami is on the set of Alone. Misa is on the set of Dice. Miku is on the set of Thrill.
Great job sir. I've enjoyed (and learned) as always. Thank you for all the love for the music you put in every review. And thank you for give a space to Band Maid in your amazing channel.
While Japan is an economically powerful, and influential nation, the Japanese language is only spoken in Japan. Band Maid’s has become my favorite band, despite the language barrier. That said, “Unleash” is a super catchy song and the video, with the anime maids, is a lot of fun. This song could be the “hit song” that has been elusive. Anyway, a great review as always.
Actually I prefer the language barrier as the vocals are just another musical instrument and I really can't understand a lot of the lyrics to hard rock music anyway. The ones you can understand are stupid, another silly love song. Love is a just a lie told to make you blue, so quit singing about it. Or sing it in Japanese so I can't understand it.
Definitely excited for your reaction to this, but don't miss the acoustic they dropped a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, I'll be on a plane when this premiers, so it'll be after I get to my hotel room before I watch this, most likely. Also, I'd recommend watching Wave Potter's video on the MV. He gives what I think is a very accurate interpretation of the story.
Great analysis Chase! I'll admit this one took me 4 or 5 listens before I latched on to the finer elements but now I love it. You caught so many right off. They have a US tour coming up in October, I'll see them 3x on that. Their first stop is at a huge festival in Sacramento and I'm really curious to see what that does for them. You're exactly correct they deserve to be bigger than they are.
the song as well as the video show how ready they are to go out there again and entertain the world. finally! 🎀🌏🕊️💜🤟 and what a great way to use this prerelease mv to transition from the old scenes to the future and to introduce their new and refined maid battle armor! 🥰👏
Band-Maid of late has this certain phenomenon thing going regarding their more progy-punk hard rock and Anime written tunes. These songs are hard, complex and will totally grow on you like a thousand pound R&R leech. The Maids in this format are relentless and powerful. The MV and their new battle gear is as expected: classy and awesome! Unleash (or Sense) will, in my thinking, be their new opener for their upcoming tour. Maid Music will continue to envelop you until you succumb in ecstasy to its brilliant and undeniable forces. 💥🎀💥 Thx, Chase!

Chase and BAND-MAID... instant LIKE. I've been a bit disconnected from the band since "Different" and Unseen World continues the extreme speed and chaotic sound, but this song finally brings it all back together with that BAND-MAID groove I felt I was missing. Very much looking forward to this EP. Thanks for this Chase. You are looking so much better. Im a disabled vet' and really felt for you and the hard period you went through.
Welcome back to Band-Maid Chase! You have missed almost the entire album of Unseen World, plus Sense. Band-Maid is touring the U.S. in October. I have VIP Tickets to see them in Boston. I can't wait to finally see this incredible and live! Thanks again for a great reaction! Be safe!
Thanks, Chase, always fantastic to get a musicians perspective, and so refreshing to have someone with a good ear pick up on the all little bits and things. See ya next time around!
They've not been to the states yet, but soon. I have tickets in Chicago on Nov. 1st and can't wait. They're first stop in the states is in the Aftershock festival in Cali (I think) and that's gonna be a big chance to win over some hard core metal folks and could be a big exposure for them.
Great observations as always Chase. This song has taken me a few listens to latch on to and truth be told this time is the first that I actually got chills when the chorus first hit. I'll admit that Kanami's guitar tone in parts of this are not my preferred sound from her but I'm starting to realize that the songs she uses that tone on she's using it to create a sense of (what I believe) tension within the song and the story being told by the song. MISA, as always, just absolutely slaying it and hearing that GOD TIER growl from her bass makes me smile every time. I think you need to spend a viewing going through the visuals of the video as well. There are many many many Easter eggs and specific call outs layered throughout the whole thing. Also to mention is the overall theme of the song/video as well. Unleash!!!!! This is their sequel to Domination (and I believe about Us as well). This is the band announcing their return to live performances and breaking through the cloud of the pandemic, flying their flag, and announcing to the world that they are coming. Cheers and thanks for your continued great work.
Great reaction and breakdown brother. Love the song and video. As for the music 🎵🎶. When you get down to it there are 7 notes. Whatever you play has been played. Rock on brother 😊😎🤘✌️❤️🔥
Great review and breakdown, Chase. I've noticed since "Different" almost none of the songs are quite as "instant" as earlier stuff like "Play" or "Dice". But every one of them grows to be just as memorable. I think they WOULD have blown up, had COVID not derailed them, and everyone for two years. Speaking of reviews, Wave Potter did an interesting breakdown of the meaning to the song and video on his channel. Cheers!
As they get more comfortable with writing technical songs, they inevitably lose some accessibility and become less approachable as a result. The Sense EP, for example, took a bit longer for me to settle into. A song like Sense is not easy to listen to at times. But I think this song hits different. It took me way less time to love it. It feels like a return to some of the approachability of their older songs while maintaining the level of musicianship they’ve been demonstrating in recent outings. (Save for Kinami’s guitar tone; instead of going for a familiar sound, she went ham on her pedals and used ALL the effects 😂). It’ll be interesting to see how they marry their evolving abilities with the hooks and catchiness that they’re known for.
Thanks for coming back to Band-Maid! If you never saw the Acoustic concert then please, the Sayonakidori acoustic version live performance is on the official channel. Also... shameless plug here but please watch/react to The Warning. Hmmm, I think any of the Live Session will be good to watch! Thanks!
Yo Chase, you know I am a huge Band Maid fan and I been on the fence about a few things with this song. You helped me sort some of my thoughts out with your analysis. I am so looking forward to seeing them live. Thanks my friend, enjoyed the reaction and have a damn good one!
Its a musical kick the face for 3 minutes saying they are UNLEASHED!!!!! Welcome back Laides... Your Maidiacs are waiting. Chase, you are of course breaking down the music in a way i could never see. Thank you.
Hey Chase thanks for taking your time to do to this. I know you already watched the music video of Manners, but you should take a look at BAND-MAID Manners+Blackhole live video.
Band-Maid fans notice a lot of hidden clues in this video. The one that's most poignant to me is at 4:29 where Miku is shown (Alone) in the original 2015 video Thrill where she couldn't play guitar at that point and to reflect on how far she has come since then.
BAND-MAID is one of those cases in which i fight with myself. My mind keeps telling me that i can't take them seriously, sort of walling me from liking it. Then my mind wonder and in a moment I find myself headbanging, tapping with hands and feet.. they're good and my mind struggle to accept it :) It's the same reaction I had with hypa hypa! I couldn't accept to like it, now I scream and headbang like crazy!
4:29. Every body that I’ve watch react to this missed the “Thrill” reference with the blank white room, the lights, cords, etc. That is if that’s what they were doing.
Also, earlier when they showed Kanami’s character in the studio. That reminded me of their “Alone” music video as well as “Bubble” with the studio setting
When I hear this song I hear elements of Akira Takasaki's soundtrack for Geneshaft. And it made me listen to the soundtrack again. If you get the chance try and give his music a listen.
So there's this Japanese metal band called Onmyouza. They really are not that popular other than a song that was the OP for an anime. However, they have hundreds of songs and they are SO GOOD. They have a samurai-era Japan concept visually and lyrically and their music is just at such a high level and so gorgeous. Even if you don't react to them, please PLEASE give them a listen, you will not regret it. I specifically recommend Kouga ninpochou and 道成寺蛇ノ獄 (Doujouji kuchinawanogoku)

Just came across your channel, really like your analyses. Would recommend you to take a look at at Lord of the Lost, particularly Raining Stars. Cheers
Thanks again for sharing your observations and experience. There are plenty of folks just learning about this band and you've been doing an awesome job to help people learn and appreciate things about this band that many tend to miss. Sidenote: I think you should check out another Japanese band called Sokoninaru as they're an amazingly talented and creative trio. A great start to them is the song re:program: ruclips.net/video/8OM58AreiNI/видео.html
It's not "Non-Fiction Days". I first got into them a few years ago, after World Domination and I still think that and Just Bring It are their best albums. I remember thinking to myself that these girls have set the bar awfully high for themselves. Don't know if they've made it over it yet but the central idea of Band-Maid is not to copy anybody else and certainly not to copy themselves so they keep stretching the boundaries. I don't think that their last two albums are quite as "musical" as earlier material but not talking about softer music (which they can do excellently when they want to) but stuff like nonfiction days and don't you tell me and just all my favorites from the 2015-2019 era. But it's all a matter of taste of course.
BAND MAID is an awesome band, I see it's quite a recurrent one on your channel which is also very nice to see! BUT I do have a question for you and I hope you will be able to answer it : Have you heard of "The Gazette"? They're a Japanese band too and they really go hard, if I may recommend a song from them it would be "Ugly" :) Keep up your awesome reaction vids! :)
Chase - please react to The Warning. Their new album Error is phenomenal. They have some live studio versions that are generally not blocked. They and Band Maid are my favorite bands! You will get excited by them.

Cannot explain how happy I am to see brother Chase in my feed. The riff at the beginning is uber simple - 4 chords? Akane sticks in my head at that point in the song. :) So good to hear you doing their music again. Thumbs up for Chase!
💯% love it 🤙🏼
Even simpler than that, but that’s the beauty of it sometimes. Intricate does not always mean better. Often I find the opposite. Appreciate you always 🙏
@@ChaseCarneson 👍🏼
This song, which starts with vocals, has a momentary sound of Saiki breathing in, but I noticed it on the 10th time.
A wonderful moment, a new charm of the song.
Wow, what good news your return Chase.
I’ve been around. Lots of music to explore
You brought me BM and you continue to make it new for me. Thanks Chase. And yes they need to be bigger - I need them on TIDAL.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Another Great Reaction!! Thank You...Almost a year listening to them and watching your reactions...Just got tickets....October 30th cant come quick enough for me.....its gonna be awesome!!! .....Maidiacs Unite !!!
I thought the exact same thing about the beginning riff, and I absolutely dig it
Always great to see you back with a BAND-MAID reaction/analysis, Chase! Every new thing they release blows my mind, at least in the simple fact that I am constantly amazed at how much enjoyment I get from their music.
Did you ever do Manners/Black Hole? I know you've reacted to Manners before, but, as always, the live one is superior, and I still really want to witness your reaction to Black Hole.
They went all out hard core punk with this one.
I'm sure I would have noticed it eventually, but it was pointed out on a fan page that the opening scenes are "recreations" of earlier videos.
Saiki is on the set of Blooming.
Akane is on the set of Domination.
Kanami is on the set of Alone.
Misa is on the set of Dice.
Miku is on the set of Thrill.
Dude, you just blew my mind! I knew Miku's part was copying Thrill, but I didn't connect the dots on the others! Awesome!!!
Quoting Chase Carneson ( Band-MAid ) doing Band-Maid things
Always enjoying you're insight
👍👍👍👍👍👍
🙏🙏🙏
Great job sir. I've enjoyed (and learned) as always. Thank you for all the love for the music you put in every review. And thank you for give a space to Band Maid in your amazing channel.
I let the Facebook Band-Maid Fans Café know it's coming.
Thank you. That's very kind of you!
Thx Chase, always a pleasure hearing your thoughts about Band-Maid. 💪
It’s a genuine pleasure reacting to them every single time.
MISA MISA MISA! Thank You for a Great Re-action Have a DAMN GOOD DAY!!!!!
So cool that the animators truly represented those gorgeous teeth of Saiki. I'm sure she is glad that they did. See 4:48 to 4:55
Thank you for the Insights. Another Reaction i will watch multiple Times , as so many .
🙏🙏🙏
While Japan is an economically powerful, and influential nation, the Japanese language is only spoken in Japan. Band Maid’s has become my favorite band, despite the language barrier. That said, “Unleash” is a super catchy song and the video, with the anime maids, is a lot of fun. This song could be the “hit song” that has been elusive. Anyway, a great review as always.
Actually I prefer the language barrier as the vocals are just another musical instrument and I really can't understand a lot of the lyrics to hard rock music anyway. The ones you can understand are stupid, another silly love song. Love is a just a lie told to make you blue, so quit singing about it. Or sing it in Japanese so I can't understand it.
Definitely excited for your reaction to this, but don't miss the acoustic they dropped a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, I'll be on a plane when this premiers, so it'll be after I get to my hotel room before I watch this, most likely.
Also, I'd recommend watching Wave Potter's video on the MV. He gives what I think is a very accurate interpretation of the story.
Great analysis Chase! I'll admit this one took me 4 or 5 listens before I latched on to the finer elements but now I love it. You caught so many right off. They have a US tour coming up in October, I'll see them 3x on that. Their first stop is at a huge festival in Sacramento and I'm really curious to see what that does for them. You're exactly correct they deserve to be bigger than they are.
Awesome Jeff. Yeah I believe so, wish I could go and see them live
Welcome back!
Oh I've been around all along, just looking at loads of different music.
the song as well as the video show how ready they are to go out there again and entertain the world. finally! 🎀🌏🕊️💜🤟
and what a great way to use this prerelease mv to transition from the old scenes to the future and to introduce their new and refined maid battle armor! 🥰👏
Band Maid. Chase. Coffee and fudgecicles. Life is good.
🙏🙏🙏
Band-Maid of late has this certain phenomenon thing going regarding their more progy-punk hard rock and Anime written tunes. These songs are hard, complex and will totally grow on you like a thousand pound R&R leech. The Maids in this format are relentless and powerful. The MV and their new battle gear is as expected: classy and awesome! Unleash (or Sense) will, in my thinking, be their new opener for their upcoming tour. Maid Music will continue to envelop you until you succumb in ecstasy to its brilliant and undeniable forces. 💥🎀💥 Thx, Chase!
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Chase and BAND-MAID... instant LIKE.
I've been a bit disconnected from the band since "Different" and Unseen World continues the extreme speed and chaotic sound, but this song finally brings it all back together with that BAND-MAID groove I felt I was missing. Very much looking forward to this EP.
Thanks for this Chase. You are looking so much better.
Im a disabled vet' and really felt for you and the hard period you went through.
Welcome back to Band-Maid Chase! You have missed almost the entire album of Unseen World, plus Sense. Band-Maid is touring the U.S. in October. I have VIP Tickets to see them in Boston. I can't wait to finally see this incredible and live! Thanks again for a great reaction! Be safe!
Jealous of you my friend. Enjoy and take lots of pics and videos
I've traveled back in time to let you guys know he loved it.
I can validate this!
Thanks, Chase, always fantastic to get a musicians perspective, and so refreshing to have someone with a good ear pick up on the all little bits and things. See ya next time around!
You sure will Phil, thank you
Band -Maid doing Band-Maid things!!!!!
Always
They've not been to the states yet, but soon. I have tickets in Chicago on Nov. 1st and can't wait.
They're first stop in the states is in the Aftershock festival in Cali (I think) and that's gonna be a big chance to win over some hard core metal folks and could be a big exposure for them.
Look at the clip and about the fact each member is alone in a clip of her own. It about these two bloody years and their struggles
Seeing them on the 25th in Washington DC. Gonna be sick!
Great observations as always Chase. This song has taken me a few listens to latch on to and truth be told this time is the first that I actually got chills when the chorus first hit. I'll admit that Kanami's guitar tone in parts of this are not my preferred sound from her but I'm starting to realize that the songs she uses that tone on she's using it to create a sense of (what I believe) tension within the song and the story being told by the song.
MISA, as always, just absolutely slaying it and hearing that GOD TIER growl from her bass makes me smile every time. I think you need to spend a viewing going through the visuals of the video as well. There are many many many Easter eggs and specific call outs layered throughout the whole thing.
Also to mention is the overall theme of the song/video as well. Unleash!!!!! This is their sequel to Domination (and I believe about Us as well). This is the band announcing their return to live performances and breaking through the cloud of the pandemic, flying their flag, and announcing to the world that they are coming.
Cheers and thanks for your continued great work.
You’re a smart one Brian. Thanks for taking the time to watch and support.
Great reaction and breakdown brother. Love the song and video. As for the music 🎵🎶. When you get down to it there are 7 notes. Whatever you play has been played. Rock on brother 😊😎🤘✌️❤️🔥
Pretty much haha
@@ChaseCarneson 😎🤘
Awesome, Chase! I missed the premiere but it's always a lot of fun watching your reactions. 🥰
🙏🙏🙏
Great review and breakdown, Chase. I've noticed since "Different" almost none of the songs are quite as "instant" as earlier stuff like "Play" or "Dice". But every one of them grows to be just as memorable.
I think they WOULD have blown up, had COVID not derailed them, and everyone for two years. Speaking of reviews, Wave Potter did an interesting breakdown of the meaning to the song and video on his channel.
Cheers!
As they get more comfortable with writing technical songs, they inevitably lose some accessibility and become less approachable as a result. The Sense EP, for example, took a bit longer for me to settle into. A song like Sense is not easy to listen to at times.
But I think this song hits different. It took me way less time to love it. It feels like a return to some of the approachability of their older songs while maintaining the level of musicianship they’ve been demonstrating in recent outings. (Save for Kinami’s guitar tone; instead of going for a familiar sound, she went ham on her pedals and used ALL the effects 😂).
It’ll be interesting to see how they marry their evolving abilities with the hooks and catchiness that they’re known for.
This one must've made him feel like he got rolled and dumped in an alley. Only thing I can think of they've done in this hard a vein is "Unfair Game"
Unfair Game is one of my favourites. Love this song with crazy Kanami solo.
Thanks for coming back to Band-Maid! If you never saw the Acoustic concert then please, the Sayonakidori acoustic version live performance is on the official channel. Also... shameless plug here but please watch/react to The Warning. Hmmm, I think any of the Live Session will be good to watch! Thanks!
Damn that energy is great !
I am that much more impressed with this song after your analysis. Thanks as always Chase. Rage on.
🙏🙏🙏
I've got tickets to see them October 25th in Silver Spring MD. If you want to go I'll pick you up at the airport.
Thanks Chase!
Yo Chase, you know I am a huge Band Maid fan and I been on the fence about a few things with this song. You helped me sort some of my thoughts out with your analysis. I am so looking forward to seeing them live. Thanks my friend, enjoyed the reaction and have a damn good one!
Hey buddy, glad you enjoyed this one. Appreciate the words and the support.
Its a musical kick the face for 3 minutes saying they are UNLEASHED!!!!! Welcome back Laides... Your Maidiacs are waiting. Chase, you are of course breaking down the music in a way i could never see. Thank you.
Love this band!
MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃 WELCOME BACK TO Band-Maid Chase 🤙🏼
Oh man, this songs slaps- obviously. It's Band Maid, after all.
Hey Chase thanks for taking your time to do to this.
I know you already watched the music video of Manners, but you should take a look at BAND-MAID Manners+Blackhole live video.
I definitely will. Thanks for the support
The video I've been waiting for.
Hope the wait was worth it
Band-Maid fans notice a lot of hidden clues in this video. The one that's most poignant to me is at 4:29 where Miku is shown (Alone) in the original 2015 video Thrill where she couldn't play guitar at that point and to reflect on how far she has come since then.
BAND-MAID is one of those cases in which i fight with myself. My mind keeps telling me that i can't take them seriously, sort of walling me from liking it. Then my mind wonder and in a moment I find myself headbanging, tapping with hands and feet.. they're good and my mind struggle to accept it :)
It's the same reaction I had with hypa hypa! I couldn't accept to like it, now I scream and headbang like crazy!
no band-maid reaction gets a thousand views within an hour of upload. except yours, chase.
thank you for visiting their music once again.
I’m very grateful. 🙏🙏🙏
The bass… misa killed it with this one. Sick tone as well
They're playing in the US in October. I will literally buy you a ticket to the show if you hop on a plane.
Oh how I wish. Gotta save some leave to see family or I’d be there in a heart beat. The offer is very kind regardless.
BTW someone pointed out to me that the band said how much they enjoy seeing reactions and view them "all the time". Let that sink in.
4:29. Every body that I’ve watch react to this missed the “Thrill” reference with the blank white room, the lights, cords, etc. That is if that’s what they were doing.
Also, earlier when they showed Kanami’s character in the studio. That reminded me of their “Alone” music video as well as “Bubble” with the studio setting
It's been a minute since you've done a Band-Maid reaction. I believe the last one was Warning!, so yeah, over a year. Looking forward to this one.....
He did “Catharsis” acoustic, and I’m still bugging him for “Sayonakidori” acoustic.
@@Metal_Auditor yeah it's been a while. He's had a pretty rough past year.
If the crowds on the upcoming tours aren't singing "Dan dan di di dan dan," it's a fail for all of humanity.
Beat intro ever … 😂😂😂👍🏻👍🏻
"And next we have five extremely talented ladies who need no introduction..." 😁
Easiest way to explain it for us who aren't musically inclined: Band maid doing Band Maid things. They are a genre by themselves.
I just noticed Saike is the first one out of the gate. I don't recall her ever doing that before.
When I hear this song I hear elements of Akira Takasaki's soundtrack for Geneshaft. And it made me listen to the soundtrack again. If you get the chance try and give his music a listen.
So there's this Japanese metal band called Onmyouza. They really are not that popular other than a song that was the OP for an anime. However, they have hundreds of songs and they are SO GOOD. They have a samurai-era Japan concept visually and lyrically and their music is just at such a high level and so gorgeous. Even if you don't react to them, please PLEASE give them a listen, you will not regret it. I specifically recommend Kouga ninpochou and 道成寺蛇ノ獄 (Doujouji kuchinawanogoku)
The Maids just dropped another amazing song called Influencers. Make sure you got the lyrics. Ass kicking song brother.
*Chase* maybe some day would be nice to check out some material before *Thrill* *Maid in Japan* just to get a feel on how they started back in 2014. 🙂But great channel keep up the great work.

Definitely getting hooked on Band Maid after this channel! Still looking forward to see what you think of A Sound Of Thunder Though 😉
Lots more to come Alex. Thanks for supporting
Just came across your channel, really like your analyses. Would recommend you to take a look at at Lord of the Lost, particularly Raining Stars. Cheers
Appreciate that very much and thanks for the recommendation 🙏
Thanks again for sharing your observations and experience. There are plenty of folks just learning about this band and you've been doing an awesome job to help people learn and appreciate things about this band that many tend to miss.
Sidenote: I think you should check out another Japanese band called Sokoninaru as they're an amazingly talented and creative trio. A great start to them is the song re:program: ruclips.net/video/8OM58AreiNI/видео.html
It's not "Non-Fiction Days". I first got into them a few years ago, after World Domination and I still think that and Just Bring It are their best albums. I remember thinking to myself that these girls have set the bar awfully high for themselves. Don't know if they've made it over it yet but the central idea of Band-Maid is not to copy anybody else and certainly not to copy themselves so they keep stretching the boundaries. I don't think that their last two albums are quite as "musical" as earlier material but not talking about softer music (which they can do excellently when they want to) but stuff like nonfiction days and don't you tell me and just all my favorites from the 2015-2019 era. But it's all a matter of taste of course.
I like it when you think
They really cram a lot of music into 3 minutes
You’re telling me. Always high energy and explosive talent
11:47. For my fellow anime nerds; do you think it looks like they drew Saiki similar to Emilia from The devil is a Part-Timer?
BAND MAID is an awesome band, I see it's quite a recurrent one on your channel which is also very nice to see!
BUT I do have a question for you and I hope you will be able to answer it : Have you heard of "The Gazette"? They're a Japanese band too and they really go hard, if I may recommend a song from them it would be "Ugly" :)
Keep up your awesome reaction vids! :)
If you ever again find yourself looking for a reason to get back to BAND-MAID, don't hesitate to ask for help.
Chase - please react to The Warning. Their new album Error is phenomenal. They have some live studio versions that are generally not blocked. They and Band Maid are my favorite bands! You will get excited by them.
It's been so long,
Too long
