I wanted to make a cd for the car of their absolute BEST songs, and after 3 cd's worth and SO Hard to choose, I gave up and just have THE ENTIRE CATALOGUE as my playlist. They ARE the best thing since Rush retired, and blow the rest of the music world away, they really have "Conquered" the World.
Another thing… they are never sleeping. There’s the hook. That groove where the guitarist could hold the note, or the drummer run a steady 1-2-3-4. Nah. Guitar fills. Double kicks. Half time. Off time. But they’re all together. It never gets self-indulgent or annoying. And you can tell they’re having a blast. This is the best new band I’ve discovered in a long time.
I'm an old man who watches groups like QUEEN, KISS and TOTO in real time, and now I'm just enjoying their music online. The only thing I'm addicted to is BAND-MAID, so it's a double pleasure to see these artists in your videos. Thank you from Japan.
Their next live songs Freedom(long drum solo's), Turn Me On, Take Me Higher, Don't You Tell Me, Manners, Domination, No God, all songs with bass solo's Guys, check another all female Heavy Metal Bands LOVEBITES - 2020/2021 live songs Set The World On Fire, Raise Some Hell, The Hammer Of Wrath, When Destinies Align, Winds Of Transylvania, Holy War, all songs in English and with crazy dual guitars solo's NEMOPHILA - songs Revive(English), Dissension, Raitei, all songs with crazy dual seven string guitars solo's HANABIE - song We Love Sweets (this girls will surprised you guys) ASTERISM - songs Raising Moon, Dawn, Faced, Gunfire, Church, all songs with seven string bass solo's
What amaze me the most is they got more than 100 songs in their bag and absolutely no one is a bad one. Not even the early ones. I can tell their albums roll continuously here.
Let's double that list .Manners / Black Hole live 2 entirely different songs in one video. Ever new Band Maid song becomes your favorite. Each band member has 1 or 2 nicknames to.
a common comment during reactions of band maid is "i don't understand the words but it doesn't matter as it sounds great" and that's a very solid fact. i always tell people who i show the band to that even though you don't speak Japanese and only understand the parts of songs in English just think of the words as another band instrument, we cannot speak guitar or drums or bass but we know when they sound fantastic and there no part of this band that isn't fantastic
You guys will learn.... you literally can pick *ANY* of their 110+ songs and it will blow you away. They have *NO* filler songs on their albums, EPs, B-sides. Every song is excellent. Randomly pick one. You can't lose.
BTW - most their vids now have CC/subtitles. Dice is one of my top 10 Band Maid songs! ♥ I suggest the following Band Maid songs: Manners, Bubble, No God (live) & Warning (live)
i take it that by your recommendations you either play(ed) bass or drums cuz all those songs highlight the rhythm section with "bubble" having my all time favorite bass line by MISA
Band-Maid is so talented and one of the best rock bands in the world ! You guys still have over 100 great songs to check out ! "Domination" Live "Real Existence" Live or "Blooming" Official Music Video are in my top 10 Band-Maid songs. Great Reaction🎀✌🤘
'The bass is as good as the guitar' ... ... I can't wait until you hit one of their lives with call and response or (the ever rare) 'duel' where Misa-sama and either Miku-sama or Kanami-sama are facing off and showing off on center stage. Pure magic!
BAND-MAID never disappoints , For the guy who likes Anime , they have 3 songs that I know of connected to Anime`s the song Glory has something to do with Yu-Gi-Oh , Different is the opening for Anime Log Horizon 3rd season , Sense is for Anime Platinum End , Thanks for more BAND-MAID .
Yes, you are right. This is your favorite song...today because you have close to 120 songs and is impossible to decide which is their best song. Every new song you listen is like a jackhammer hitting your brain. You can leave the drugs but not BAND MAID
This is the best hard rock band out there at the moment.. You still have over 100 songs to do so get busy.. lol .. Now that you are 3 songs into the best Hard rock band, I think you should do Lovebites.. They are the best pôwermetal band out there at the moment. I don't think you are ready, but you probably never will be.. Do Holy war live from Zepp diver city in tokyo.. And prepare to be totally face planted.. Best wishes from France.
After this, I think you would enjoy the Official Live Video of "Play", which was originally a "pee break" instrumental also, but Saiki went to Miku and said "why can't we have lyrics ?" Miku said "sure" and the result is AMAZING. I think it is the best song live song where Saiki gets the crowd REALLY riled up. You have to react to it.
Also the live official versions of "Domination", "Choose me", , "Don't You Dare", "Real Existence", "The Non-Fiction Days", "Rinne" and a whole bunch more.
@@lonniekramlich6241 I don't think Saiki had to twist anything. Band-Maid is almost like a hive mind. They are totally in sync with each other, especially in a musical sense. I don't recall too many other groups who were this in sync in a continuous state like this. It's all about the group and what they can accomplish.
Hey guys, great reaction. For 7 years I've been listening to BAND-MAID and I still get amazed every time at the incredible talent. Suggest for next reaction 'Manners and Black Hole' live (two songs in one video) that will blow you away. But yes, pick any song and you'll say this is my favorite song... until you hear the next one.
Thanks for coming back 502. Premiering on Saiki's birthday! My first Band-Maid song and the onslaught began immediately and hasn't stopped since. I am sure you enjoyed this song. These ladies know how to write and arrange songs. You now need to see them LIVE so I will say watch DOMINATION-LIVE for the quintessential Band-Maid. You can't deny that BAND-MAID is Awesome.
Your favorite song will always be the next song you hear... I only have ONE favorite song (Puzzle) out of over 120 all the other songs are on the same level for me personally... They never miss... Domination, Blooming MV are some suggestions from my side.... Domination is FILLED with solos from everyone and an BLAST... Blooming is very punkrock heavy with an totally CRAZY solo from Kanami (leadguitar). I think that is what you are looking for and gonna fall in love with. Greetings from Germany, your videos are fun :)
Just as an F.Y.I., only the live version of "Domination" (primarily the Shibuya Line video) has all of the solos; if I remember correctly, the MV only has Kanami's solo (although I might not remember accurately)...I remember seeing it after watching the Shibuya version several times and feeling it was a little empty when comparing them.
Dice, the first song I heard from BAND-MAID back in 2018 shortly after it dropped, been a hardcore Maidiac ever since. I was immediately blown away, especially by how prominent the BASS is! It's something rarely heard in Hard Rock/Metal in the West, but is relatively common in Japanese Rock... I totally got a Paramore vibe (who I like) from it too! 😆 Oh BTW Nick, you nailed the name pronunciations. 👍
Dice and Rinne are songs which you better watch in the studio version. But in general you should watch official live versions. Musically they are as good as the studio versions, but they re-arange sometimes the songs and add new parts to it and you have also the interaction between the Ladies....much more fun to watch and listen.
Agree with all the songs being recommended oh and they do killer ballads as well, Daydreaming and About Us to name but 2 (and Anemone an oft missed stunning gem of a song). Also if you can find Puzzle and Anemone acoustic live, they will break your heart.
Thanks for the great reaction! The meaning of the lyrics is: You're having a hard time, right? Come home. Do you want me to be nice to you? Should I give you a pep talk? Are you okay? If you're in trouble, call me. I'll do my best. Do you want me to take your order? That's about it. And then, in 6:26 seconds, ’’come on!Let's get started!" She whispered in the masked girl's ear. The next moment, the masked girl wakes up. Finally, a light shines, and at the end of the song, the unmasked girl goes towards the light. You already know what the song is about, right? It's kicking our asses! Come on! Let's take off our false selves and face tomorrow as we really are!
Guys, I'm glad you're back to reacting to Band Maid. In December, Band Maid released a livestream electro-acoustic concert video. They put one of the songs from the concert on RUclips. The song, "Catharsis" show this groups versatility and artistry. Treat yourself to that video .
Great reaction! Please check out the LIVE version of DOMINATION as your next BM song since you haven't fully experienced the great audience interactions and the masterful crowd control by the lead vocalist. The song, as the lead track for their World Domination album, was written as their declaration to the world that they're coming to dominate all of us with their music.
Love your style guys - you all contribute and tell us what you like and why. Great team reaction. And kudos for getting the names - just makes it easier to refer to what you're hearing. So looking forward to the next ones.
You guys are getting warmer with Band Maid! Do “Domination”, especially the live video-that’s what hooked me. You’d wish you were there. My favorite of theirs is “Black Hole”-it’s 220 bpm. There’s a live version of it combined with the song “Manners,” which sounds like old school Aerosmith. This band is sickly talented.
Guys Dare to listen to their recent opus ''Sense'' An impossible piece of musicianship simply the new prog rock over and above;the girls are frightehingly overboard with this one;where do you go from here!!!
Nick you'll be a Maidiac in short order. DICE was my first Band-Maid song and I immediately went on a binge. I listen to them daily. And you should too. There are way too many great songs to suggest but for great playlist music try the MV's for Warning, Blooming, Rinne, Manners (an amazing groovy mid-temp song) and don't ever forget the power ballad DAYDREAMING. Their latest release SENSE is the opening for the anime Platinum End. Down the pigeon hole you go and bring Ryan and Ty with you. I think you already know that BAND-MAID is Awesome. Peace.
Hey 502, you know you can circumvent all reaction requests. Love Nick's stank face when Band-Maid is doing something out of the ordinary. See suggestions above.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Added to other comments, check out “Alone” MV. First track the label let them write for an album… the rest is history! It shows that right from the start, they were brilliant songwriters.
502 needs to continue to discover the new japanese super race of ravashing girl bands shocking and rocking the world notably these Lovebites doing ''Holy war'' live at the zepp in Tokyo;Another jaw dropper;go to itWhat are they feeding these girls!!Extraterrestrials
Good to see you guys again. Every Band-Maid song is one of their best. Since you're going back and forth between live and studio, might as well make Domination Live your next one. Saiki's at her best and the crowd loves it. Then your next MV could be Blooming or Rinne. You're still in the earlier to mid years, Man, wait till you hear them now.
The good: Drum/bass intro, guitar slide-ins, bass/guitar additions to 2nd verse, bass solo, guitar solo, the breakdown, drum outro. The great: the transition between solos where MISA starts the phrase and Kanami finishes it. Dice is in contention for best song on World Domination - along with at least 5 others. My over-all favorites - the list breaks down after a clear top 5: 1 Manners (live or studio) 2 Corallium 3 Moratorium (live especially) 4 Blooming 5 Play (live) 6 Puzzle 7 About Us 8 After Life 9 Freedom (Live) 10 Don't you tell me (live with the power trio) And I had a hard time keeping it to 10. Dice might be top 15. Maybe.
You want Anime music? “Different” and “Sense” are both written as intros to Anime series. And IMO, a couple of their best songs for just plain organized chaos. Easily becoming the best band in the world.
all their songs are their best songs. check out Alone. it was the first song their label let them write entirely on their own, and they absolutely proved themselves. one of the best Kanami solos. other than that it depends what you want. if you want heavy, check out Rinne. if you want vocal fireworks, the live version of Wonderland. oh, and Domination live is mandatory. that's their statement piece, it's them saying "this is us, here we are. you with us? then let's effin' go!"
These girls kick ass as usual, you should check out their live acoustic version of Catharsis from their Christmas Day acoustic show. But if you want a real mind f**k then you should watch Babymetal it'll change everything you thought you knew about music
if you want to check their current (2021/2022) range, check out the manners/Black Hole double feature ( ruclips.net/video/iaf94nNSRGE/видео.html ). It's a semi-live clip, recorded during a concert that was live-streamed but (for obvious reasons) without any audience and features two songs that couldn't be more different from one another. If you want to see how they are when there is an actual crowd I'd suggest Play, live at Line Cube Shibuya ( ruclips.net/video/3LxX_t4vg7U/видео.html ) ... or really any other clip from that particular concert :D
Honestly, go to their RUclips channel, sort the videos to oldest first, and go. Every song will put the same smiles on your face. And those are only the tip of the iceberg for Band-Maid. To beat a dead horse. Every song of their 100+ catalog is better than anything else coming out today.
New Madiacs (that's what we call ourselves) are so much fun to see. It brings back how I felt when I first started with the band years ago. Thanks for the refresher guys, and it is a fact that any song you choose will blow your socks off. But I think you should maybe try something from their newer stuff next. Try Manners/Black Hole a twofer live that gives you some groove and some progressive rock in the same video. Enjoy!
Band Maid is the best. Keep going with Band Maid please. Another couple bands I’d like you to check out: Hanabie - L.C.G. Unlucky Morpheus - Unending Sorceress Nemophila - Fighter Lovebites - Set the World on Fire Asterism - Gunfire
Thier songs are different. Ha! they have a song named "Different". But they play any style so there are no limitations on what they will do next. They start off with a metal beat, move into more a hard rock, throw in a catchy kind of pop rock chorus, get the crowd involved like the punk rockers of old, then seamlessly transition into a breakdown with a couple face melting solo's, throw in a couple more changeup's to continue escalating the song through the outro. That might be all in just one four-minute song. Then their next song might just be the tastiest retro groove rock masterpiece you ever heard.
Great reaction guys. Yes, we Band-Maid fans are very confident that whatever you pick next is going to be a killer. There was a thread on reddit, where everybody should post their top 5 Band-Maid songs. 90 people participated, 83 songs made it into someone's top 5. You want a song that needs to scratch a particular itch? Chances are high that Band-Maid has it 😁 Oh, you wanted a recommendation? Play Live!
If you want to skip to a live version next time, I recommand "Domination official live vidéo" to get a glimpse of each member individual talent. Otherwise, there's "Freedom OLV" to be blown away by Akane destroying her drums or "Play OLV to be beaten down by a killer intro of bass and guitar. (The three are from a single concert with 24 or 25 songs in a row) Enjoy the ride, guys. You're just at the begining. And keep up the good work. ;-)
If you can get your hands on the LIVE version of "Don't You Tell ME".. with MISA & Kanami dueling with Akane's deep drum beats....you'll think you've died and gone to heaven..Its not long...but the feel and atmos is euphoric...I believe Saiki asked them just to play something a bit longer, as this duel doesn't appear on the album version or the other LIVE version. But incase you can't find it, you could see it via someone who has already reacted to it....it was taken down from the bands own channel. I've dug you out a reaction where the reactor doesn't stop or talking over the video....ruclips.net/video/b8_oNWXeQ_8/видео.html
Dice… as great as it is, is not their best song. Not by a long shot. But that’s not an indication of how awesome they are. No, what really indicates their awesomeness is just HOW MANY songs are as good, or better, than Dice! Not dissing the song because, as I said, it is terrific… it kicks most non-Band Maid songs asses… just painting a picture of what awaits you on your journey. Manners/Black Hole official live… you’ll not regret it. You’ve not heard stuff from their new album yet, and that’s a great place to start.
OK Guys ; couple of dares for you; unplayable covers from Band Maid; dare listen to ''No God'' , '' Black Hole''. or ''Sense''; there is actually a duo listen with , ''Manners'' and ''Black Hole'' in tandem.Then , ''Without holding back'', '' Non-fiction Days'' and possibly ''HGK'';those should send you where few have been; These girls are fearless. Best rock on the planet or this side of the milky way ; period!!But then is it just that they are hot girls having at it totally; you can also learn of the maid cafes in Japan that were until recently the rage in entertainment out on the town; a low paying job for younger women in dire work conditions.Why they would choose to play rock instead with a vengence; Miku , founder,kanami(lead guitar and comoser) and akane(gorilla on drums) friends in music school, then misu(whiskey drinking barefoot assassin on bass and seiki last as they were seeking a front singer for miku who would pick up as of late the rhythm guitar and back vocals .Result a most improbable arrangment of outcasts and kindred spirits with nothing to loose but a crashing end to rock dreams and the living legends they are becoming.; the rock world will never be the same. the guy bands will need some serious chops upgrade in the near future.The league of krafty gorgeous japanese rock godesses are way ahead and Japan can't get enough of them;their US tour next october22 is sold out everywhere.Bound for glory!!??
Did I hear in between that you like faster songs? Well, then I can only give one recommendation » 'Blooming' :) And for a comparison of their versatility, the ladies have an excellent 2in1 online live video on their channel with their songs 'Manners / Black Hole'. You better put some seatbelts on before you watch it. :) _____________________ 【 _Our rock never dies ever. Forever!_ 】- from BAND-MAID 'Manners' 🕊️
Hey guys just a couple suggestions if you want to go with MV try ( Blooming and Choose Me) just for starters. They have so many great videos to choose from. Band Maid is definitely the Greatest Musically Talented Band goin today. I'm a 62 year old Maidiac and enjoy Band Maid for every song and video they've done.
Not being condescending guys, every song is one of their best songs. Some of my personal recommendations Blooming official MV, Sense official MV, Rinne official MV, Real Existence official LIVE performance (live is better but both are great) all on their channel. Great reaction guys! Subbed. Hope to see more reactions of the best band on the planet in the future.
And I can only think of ONE studio version that's better than their live and that's Thrill. Other than that all their live performances are vastly superior to the studio alternative
If you can find a quality recording, you might like to look for the official live performances of these guys. They have a tendency to enhance or extend intro's and solo's in their live performances to change it up a bit. That and their stage presence makes the live performances just a bit more special. The commenters making the suggestions will let you if there is a quality live recording out, or if you should look to the studio MV. We were getting a lot of quality professionally recorded official live videos from their World Domination tour before the virus shut it down. A song like "Domination" live 2.14.2020 is the way to go. But if it were me, to hear all the crazy instrumental detail in a song like "Blooming", or those mind-blowing groove elements in a song like "Manners", I'd look to the studio MV's... at least until a top-quality live video comes out.

"Blooming" is a good follow-up to "DICE" .....we never let you guys down.
They don't have a bad song, Every song you listen too for the first time will become your new favorite...They are Band-Maid, We are Maidiacs !!!
The smiles on everyone's faces are a clear indication of how wonderful these girls are. Thank you from Japan!
We can be confident in saying "pick a song" because Band Maid always delivers!! USA tour in 2022 (dates yet to be announced) 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
really hope they play somewhere I can drive to!
@@Bekka_Noyb ditto!!

Domination live 2020 , About Us, and Freedom , Real Existence live. ALL great. Prepare for addiction guys.
I've listened to music albums from almost 6 decades but Band-Maid albums are the only ones that I don't push the "skip to next song" button.
If you like this you will LOVE Yolo, another killer music video with amazing musicianship.
I still say those Dice are loaded. I'm fine with it. Band-Maid always wins when they throw 'em, and so do we!

Yeah...This is one of their best songs, among 100 others.

The unintentionally synced up head nodding made my morning
Someone once said that Misa doesn't play Bass, she plays lead Bass. Some truth there. Misa GROOVES.

I suggest the following Band Maid songs: Manners, Bubble, No God (live) & Warning (live)
i take it that by your recommendations you either play(ed) bass or drums cuz all those songs highlight the rhythm section with "bubble" having my all time favorite bass line by MISA

Love, love, love this band!!! They are touring the US later this year and I will travel without any doubt.
'The bass is as good as the guitar' ... ...

So happy I got tickets for their show later this year!
They are always leave you wanting more!! 🔥🔥🔥🤘🏼😎
Great reaction...please react DOMINATION andd FREEDOM live...(in FREEDOM incredible drums solo)
Yes, you are right. This is your favorite song...today because you have close to 120 songs and is impossible to decide which is their best song. Every new song you listen is like a jackhammer hitting your brain. You can leave the drugs but not BAND MAID
Wait until you hear DOMINATION live. If you want something heavy watch the MV of RINNE (Reincarnation).
Misa,Misa,Misa, The barefoot assassin on bass!!!!
CALIFORNA LOVES BAND-MAID...
So many great songs to recommend try, " Play ," live or " Bubble " the MV.😎👌
This is the best hard rock band out there at the moment.. You still have over 100 songs to do so get busy.. lol .. Now that you are 3 songs into the best Hard rock band, I think you should do Lovebites.. They are the best pôwermetal band out there at the moment. I don't think you are ready, but you probably never will be.. Do Holy war live from Zepp diver city in tokyo.. And prepare to be totally face planted.. Best wishes from France.
Look Cute! Play Bad Ass Rock! Band Maid mission statement! Great Reaction brothers!😊😎✌🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
That was great musically! That solo at 4:50! A lot to take in when you hear and watch them!
There is SO much good Band-Maid. I'm jealous you get to experience it all for the first time.
So many songs to see especially live as domination, freedom, play, of which you tell me
After this, I think you would enjoy the Official Live Video of "Play", which was originally a "pee break" instrumental also, but Saiki went to Miku and said "why can't we have lyrics ?" Miku said "sure" and the result is AMAZING. I think it is the best song live song where Saiki gets the crowd REALLY riled up. You have to react to it.

Play is one of my favorites......did Saiki ask Miku for lyrics or did she twist her arm ? 🤔 Either way, its a great song !!
@@lonniekramlich6241 I don't think Saiki had to twist anything. Band-Maid is almost like a hive mind. They are totally in sync with each other, especially in a musical sense.

Of all the Band Maid songs Dice, Blooming and Choose Me are may favorite “old” songs.
Yep. "Dice" is on my Band-Maid Top Ten list. My Band-Maid Top Ten list has forty songs on it. Seroiusly. 😄🎲🔥🕊
Great reaction to a great hard rock band .
Dice and Rinne are songs which you better watch in the studio version. But in general you should watch official live versions. Musically they are as good as the studio versions, but they re-arange sometimes the songs and add new parts to it and you have also the interaction between the Ladies....much more fun to watch and listen.

これぞ７０年代のRockがRockであった時代を彷彿させます。BAND-MAIDを聴いて、CACTUSのCDを探すわが家。5枚ほどありました!ブートを含めてね。
I would say try "real existence official live song" or A Song Called Blooming
Misa's tone gets me every time
This song so reminds me of being on a roller-coaster ride. Excitement to the extreme! Can't wait to see them live...coming up very fast!!
Thanks for the great reaction!
The meaning of the lyrics is: You're having a hard time, right? Come home.
Do you want me to be nice to you? Should I give you a pep talk? Are you okay?
If you're in trouble, call me. I'll do my best. Do you want me to take your order? That's about it.
And then, in 6:26 seconds, ’’come on!Let's get started!" She whispered in the masked girl's ear.
The next moment, the masked girl wakes up.
Finally, a light shines, and at the end of the song, the unmasked girl goes towards the light.
You already know what the song is about, right?
It's kicking our asses! Come on! Let's take off our false selves and face tomorrow as we really are!
Guys, I'm glad you're back to reacting to Band Maid. In December, Band Maid released a livestream electro-acoustic concert video. They put one of the songs from the concert on RUclips. The song, "Catharsis" show this groups versatility and artistry. Treat yourself to that video .
BandMaid is awesome!
Check out Rolling Quartz they have their own rock but their cover of Skid Row was what hooked me
Great reaction! Please check out the LIVE version of DOMINATION as your next BM song since you haven't fully experienced the great audience interactions and the masterful crowd control by the lead vocalist. The song, as the lead track for their World Domination album, was written as their declaration to the world that they're coming to dominate all of us with their music.
It’s hard to recommend songs from them when they have so many good ones. I’ll throw out there - Moratorium live or Blooming MV. Rock on!
great choices!
Love your style guys - you all contribute and tell us what you like and why. Great team reaction. And kudos for getting the names - just makes it easier to refer to what you're hearing. So looking forward to the next ones.
You guys are getting warmer with Band Maid! Do “Domination”, especially the live video-that’s what hooked me. You’d wish you were there.
My favorite of theirs is “Black Hole”-it’s 220 bpm. There’s a live version of it combined with the song “Manners,” which sounds like old school Aerosmith. This band is sickly talented.
You got the pronunciations right, good job! This a hard rock masterpiece from the amazing Band-Maid! Can I take your order? I order more Band-Maid!
Guys Dare to listen to their recent opus ''Sense'' An impossible piece of musicianship simply the new prog rock over and above;the girls are frightehingly overboard with this one;where do you go from here!!!
Good reaction. You picked up on a lot of the details!
Nick you'll be a Maidiac in short order. DICE was my first Band-Maid song and I immediately went on a binge. I listen to them daily. And you should too. There are way too many great songs to suggest but for great playlist music try the MV's for Warning, Blooming, Rinne, Manners (an amazing groovy mid-temp song) and don't ever forget the power ballad DAYDREAMING. Their latest release SENSE is the opening for the anime Platinum End. Down the pigeon hole you go and bring Ryan and Ty with you. I think you already know that BAND-MAID is Awesome. Peace.
i second daydreaming, its my favorite song by them.
Nick, Band-Maid will be in Philly Oct 26. Tix to public start March 3. I've go mine already. See you there.
Yo 502, hope you got concert tix for October. Let's whoop it up with playlist material I mentioned above. The time is right! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yo 502, two shows added and go on sale tomorrow 4/5/22. Chicago (11/1) and New Jersey (10/30) have been added. MV Warning or Blooming to celebrate!
Hey 502, you know you can circumvent all reaction requests. Love Nick's stank face when Band-Maid is doing something out of the ordinary. See suggestions above.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
イントロから3人ともノリノリで､首がずっと動きっぱなしなの､聴いていて楽しんでいるのが伝わります😊
You nailed it about their solos! They are the queens of leaving you wanting more. 🤩
Next: official live videos for Real Existence and Domination. There are at least 20 songs as good as Dice. Many would argue more.
Added to other comments, check out “Alone” MV. First track the label let them write for an album… the rest is history! It shows that right from the start, they were brilliant songwriters.
If you like Dice, you'll like over 100 other Band-Maid hit songs, too! What a great rock adventure to have in front of you! 🤘😛🤘
502 needs to continue to discover the new japanese super race of ravashing girl bands shocking and rocking the world notably these Lovebites doing ''Holy war'' live at the zepp in Tokyo;Another jaw dropper;go to itWhat are they feeding these girls!!Extraterrestrials
Best pronunciations I've heard in a while. They're all great songs. If you're not into one, move on to the next. There's something for everyone!
Good to see you guys again. Every Band-Maid song is one of their best. Since you're going back and forth between live and studio, might as well make Domination Live your next one. Saiki's at her best and the crowd loves it. Then your next MV could be Blooming or Rinne. You're still in the earlier to mid years, Man, wait till you hear them now.
Great job with the names!
You are only scratching the surface.
I can assure you.One can´t find a band so high level like Bandmaid in years.They are the next BIG THING finally happenned
The good: Drum/bass intro, guitar slide-ins, bass/guitar additions to 2nd verse, bass solo, guitar solo, the breakdown, drum outro.
The great: the transition between solos where MISA starts the phrase and Kanami finishes it.
Dice is in contention for best song on World Domination - along with at least 5 others.
My over-all favorites - the list breaks down after a clear top 5:
1 Manners (live or studio)
2 Corallium
3 Moratorium (live especially)
4 Blooming
5 Play (live)
6 Puzzle
7 About Us
8 After Life
9 Freedom (Live)
10 Don't you tell me (live with the power trio)
And I had a hard time keeping it to 10. Dice might be top 15. Maybe.
You want Anime music? “Different” and “Sense” are both written as intros to Anime series. And IMO, a couple of their best songs for just plain organized chaos. Easily becoming the best band in the world.
Their best song is the last one you heard. They are _that_ good. Love the dynamics of you three.
all their songs are their best songs. check out Alone. it was the first song their label let them write entirely on their own, and they absolutely proved themselves. one of the best Kanami solos. other than that it depends what you want. if you want heavy, check out Rinne. if you want vocal fireworks, the live version of Wonderland. oh, and Domination live is mandatory. that's their statement piece, it's them saying "this is us, here we are. you with us? then let's effin' go!"
These girls kick ass as usual, you should check out their live acoustic version of Catharsis from their Christmas Day acoustic show. But if you want a real mind f**k then you should watch Babymetal it'll change everything you thought you knew about music
Reinne is awesome. Speed speed speed drumming.
if you want to check their current (2021/2022) range, check out the manners/Black Hole double feature ( ruclips.net/video/iaf94nNSRGE/видео.html ). It's a semi-live clip, recorded during a concert that was live-streamed but (for obvious reasons) without any audience and features two songs that couldn't be more different from one another.
If you want to see how they are when there is an actual crowd I'd suggest Play, live at Line Cube Shibuya ( ruclips.net/video/3LxX_t4vg7U/видео.html ) ... or really any other clip from that particular concert :D
Honestly, go to their RUclips channel, sort the videos to oldest first, and go. Every song will put the same smiles on your face. And those are only the tip of the iceberg for Band-Maid. To beat a dead horse. Every song of their 100+ catalog is better than anything else coming out today.
New Madiacs (that's what we call ourselves) are so much fun to see. It brings back how I felt when I first started with the band years ago. Thanks for the refresher guys, and it is a fact that any song you choose will blow your socks off. But I think you should maybe try something from their newer stuff next. Try Manners/Black Hole a twofer live that gives you some groove and some progressive rock in the same video. Enjoy!
Band Maid is the best. Keep going with Band Maid please. Another couple bands I’d like you to check out:
Hanabie - L.C.G.
Unlucky Morpheus - Unending Sorceress
Nemophila - Fighter
Lovebites - Set the World on Fire
Asterism - Gunfire
Thier songs are different. Ha! they have a song named "Different". But they play any style so there are no limitations on what they will do next. They start off with a metal beat, move into more a hard rock, throw in a catchy kind of pop rock chorus, get the crowd involved like the punk rockers of old, then seamlessly transition into a breakdown with a couple face melting solo's, throw in a couple more changeup's to continue escalating the song through the outro. That might be all in just one four-minute song. Then their next song might just be the tastiest retro groove rock masterpiece you ever heard.
Great reaction guys. Yes, we Band-Maid fans are very confident that whatever you pick next is going to be a killer. There was a thread on reddit, where everybody should post their top 5 Band-Maid songs. 90 people participated, 83 songs made it into someone's top 5. You want a song that needs to scratch a particular itch? Chances are high that Band-Maid has it 😁
Oh, you wanted a recommendation? Play Live!
If you want to skip to a live version next time, I recommand "Domination official live vidéo" to get a glimpse of each member individual talent.
Otherwise, there's "Freedom OLV" to be blown away by Akane destroying her drums or "Play OLV to be beaten down by a killer intro of bass and guitar.
(The three are from a single concert with 24 or 25 songs in a row)
Enjoy the ride, guys. You're just at the begining. And keep up the good work. ;-)
If you can get your hands on the LIVE version of "Don't You Tell ME".. with MISA & Kanami dueling with Akane's deep drum beats....you'll think you've died and gone to heaven..Its not long...but the feel and atmos is euphoric...I believe Saiki asked them just to play something a bit longer, as this duel doesn't appear on the album version or the other LIVE version. But incase you can't find it, you could see it via someone who has already reacted to it....it was taken down from the bands own channel. I've dug you out a reaction where the reactor doesn't stop or talking over the video....ruclips.net/video/b8_oNWXeQ_8/видео.html
Dice… as great as it is, is not their best song. Not by a long shot. But that’s not an indication of how awesome they are. No, what really indicates their awesomeness is just HOW MANY songs are as good, or better, than Dice! Not dissing the song because, as I said, it is terrific… it kicks most non-Band Maid songs asses… just painting a picture of what awaits you on your journey. Manners/Black Hole official live… you’ll not regret it. You’ve not heard stuff from their new album yet, and that’s a great place to start.
Gotta check out Play official live video. Such a killer song and performance.
OK Guys ; couple of dares for you; unplayable covers from Band Maid; dare listen to ''No God'' , '' Black Hole''. or ''Sense''; there is actually a duo listen with , ''Manners'' and ''Black Hole'' in tandem.Then , ''Without holding back'', '' Non-fiction Days'' and possibly ''HGK'';those should send you where few have been; These girls are fearless. Best rock on the planet or this side of the milky way ; period!!But then is it just that they are hot girls having at it totally; you can also learn of the maid cafes in Japan that were until recently the rage in entertainment out on the town; a low paying job for younger women in dire work conditions.Why they would choose to play rock instead with a vengence; Miku , founder,kanami(lead guitar and comoser) and akane(gorilla on drums) friends in music school, then misu(whiskey drinking barefoot assassin on bass and seiki last as they were seeking a front singer for miku who would pick up as of late the rhythm guitar and back vocals .Result a most improbable arrangment of outcasts and kindred spirits with nothing to loose but a crashing end to rock dreams and the living legends they are becoming.; the rock world will never be the same. the guy bands will need some serious chops upgrade in the near future.The league of krafty gorgeous japanese rock godesses are way ahead and Japan can't get enough of them;their US tour next october22 is sold out everywhere.Bound for glory!!??
Did I hear in between that you like faster songs? Well, then I can only give one recommendation » 'Blooming' :)
And for a comparison of their versatility, the ladies have an excellent 2in1 online live video on their channel with their songs 'Manners / Black Hole'. You better put some seatbelts on before you watch it. :)

Hey guys just a couple suggestions if you want to go with MV try ( Blooming and Choose Me) just for starters. They have so many great videos to choose from. Band Maid is definitely the Greatest Musically Talented Band goin today. I'm a 62 year old Maidiac and enjoy Band Maid for every song and video they've done.
DOMINATION LIVE!!!!
Not being condescending guys, every song is one of their best songs. Some of my personal recommendations Blooming official MV, Sense official MV, Rinne official MV, Real Existence official LIVE performance (live is better but both are great) all on their channel. Great reaction guys! Subbed. Hope to see more reactions of the best band on the planet in the future.
And I can only think of ONE studio version that's better than their live and that's Thrill. Other than that all their live performances are vastly superior to the studio alternative
If you can find a quality recording, you might like to look for the official live performances of these guys. They have a tendency to enhance or extend intro's and solo's in their live performances to change it up a bit. That and their stage presence makes the live performances just a bit more special. The commenters making the suggestions will let you if there is a quality live recording out, or if you should look to the studio MV. We were getting a lot of quality professionally recorded official live videos from their World Domination tour before the virus shut it down. A song like "Domination" live 2.14.2020 is the way to go. But if it were me, to hear all the crazy instrumental detail in a song like "Blooming", or those mind-blowing groove elements in a song like "Manners", I'd look to the studio MV's... at least until a top-quality live video comes out.
Next song you need to do is the live version of Play. the intro will have your jaws on the floor.
