Akane is not just a good drummer, but closer examination lead to the fact that she is also a genius. Before joining Band Maid, she had a repartoire of 600 songs in her band(700 if you add the more than 100 Band Maid songs now !) I have seen Akane herself saying in one of her videos that she learns drum part all of the songs by converting them in notes. To be honest, I was blown away when I heard that.
The only lyrics you "have to have" is "feel my soul" and "don't go". When you hear that, you get the idea of the song :). Sorry, I have had some good tequila, I don't think that made sense :). Thanks for the reaction and check out more!!
You just happened to have picked BAND-MAID'S most BEAUTIFUL masterpiece! A song that, sadly, im allergic to. Every time i hear it, my eyes start to water. Not as much as when I hear About Us, I'm severely allergic to that song. 😭 It's a love song to the Masters and Princesses (or Maidiacs!) that they introduced during a free live stream they offered up during Covid. Thanks again for another great reaction! And remember: Life is better with BAND-MAID!! 🤘🤩🤘
This is the first Band-Maid song I've been able to sing along with the whole way through. No idea what I'm singing, but it hit me so hard I inadvertently memorized it.
Daydreaming, Bestie, About Us, Anemone, Endless Story, Memorable, PAGE, Wonderland, Awkward, Start Over, Mirage, At the Drop of a Hat and Smile -- an unbelievable range of mid-tempo songs from the greatest hard rock band on the planet - Band-Maid. "Daydreaming," "YOLO," "Puzzle,” and a host of others are world-class masterpieces. Although I love Daydreaming just the way it is and believe it may be Band-Maid's best composed and overall accessible song, I've always wondered if it was sung in English, how deep in the international market Daydreaming would have traveled? It'll be interesting to see if Bestie (sung in English) hits new markets. Oh well, I'll stop daydreaming now. Thx Lanae, for another great Band-Maid reaction!
From JAPAN. It is well known among fans that when Jimmy Page visited Japan in November 2016, he was so impressed with AKANE's drumming at the BAND-MAID show that he went all the way backstage to meet with her for a two-shot photo. Also, the legendary producer "Tony Visconti" (who produced David Bowie and T. Rex) offered to BAND-MAID . The song "The Doragon Cries" was recorded at his studio in New York.
Great reaction Princess Lanae. "Daydreaming" is amazing. No lyrics needed...as you can feel the emotion in the song. It's amazing how Kanami can have an unexpected ripping solo, yet fit it perfectly into the mood of the song. 😢 I'm not crying...allergies must be kicking in again... In a previous interview, Kanami said this was her favorite song to play. I can see why. Live versions tend to have extended intros. Kanami, has done some a while ago with a piano. I wish they would bring that back. When I was at the 10th Anniversary Tour Finale at Yokohama Arena, I was hoping for a piano intro, being it was such a large venue and the tour finale. Didn't get a piano intro, but the intro for this special evening was amazing. 😢 I'm not crying...allergies inside the arena, yeah...that's it. Unfortunately, that song from YokoAri, is not not posted on their official channel. I hope it's the next song released from this concert on their official channel...it should be experienced by all. PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘
Great reaction! I believe that in the future, you may receive recommendations from viewers for the Japanese female metal/rock band NEMOPHILA. NEMOPHILA, like BAND-MAID, is composed of twin guitars, but their style is completely different from that band. They handle songs of all genres, the vocalist uses a gentle voice, a powerful voice, and screams, and the other members also have very high performance skills, with techniques condensed into a short performance time of about 4 minutes. To get to know them, I recommend you start by listening to a song called ADABANA. It might be interesting to compare Nemophila’s most beautiful ballad (ODYSSEY) with their heaviest song (ZEN). You can also find unofficial videos of ODYSSEY with English Translation.
I’ve listened to this song so many times that I can sing along with one of the verses, although I have no idea what I’m saying 😊 (except for the “don’t go” part) Here are the official music videos that are actually preferred for new listeners to experience (Daydreaming is one) So when one comes around, you’ll know what to pick “Blooming” “From Now On” “Influencer” “Bubble” “Glory” “Thrill” “Choose Me” “DICE” “YOLO” “Secret MY Lips” “Secret Maiko Lips” “Sense” “Unleash!!!!!” “After Life” “Warning!” “Rinne” “Shambles” “Manners” “Memorable” Yes. You do have a lot to catch up on! ❤
Kanami's solo in this song perfectly expresses the mood of the song to the listener. Kanami doesn't have to open her mouth, but she is singing to the audience with her instrument.
Lanae, thanks for reacting to one of my favorite Band-Maid songs. This beautiful power ballad moves everyone who listens to it. The Maids usually play this song at most of their concerts because it's a universal crowd pleaser.
Many underestimate the lyrics of the songs, MIKU does a formidable and beautiful job. He totally completes the song. I hope that many people understand the songs through MIKU's words. MIKU is and will be Band Maid.
On the lyrics, and this is easy for me because I never pay attention to them anyway even when in English, for you I'd recommend reading them ahead of your reaction. Then just relax and pretend Saiki is another instrument. It works!!!
Saiki is sometimes the rhythm section, as in the get-a-lap part of Domination. Didn't really notice it until hearing a vocal-less version. Her sense of rhythm earned a compliment from Kanami somewhere on BM Prime.
Despite this being a ballad, I always think of it as Akane's song, the constantly developing patterns and the subtlety of her choices are the mark of the great musician that she is. The trombone world should mourn it's loss.
A fan fave and I'm no exception. The guitar solo can be very moving for me - even after 1,000 listens. In their recent 10th anniversary concert, Kanami does a great guitar intro!
Good choice, and definitely a fan favorite. In live performances they vary the intros a lot, sometimes a long piano intro (played by Kanami) or a guitar intro which has its own variations.
Might I suggest other all female Japanese rock and metal groups? Nemophila and Lovebites for starters. There´s also Hanabie, but you´ll have to love growls for that one (Nemophila has that to an extent also). There are waaaaay more great Japanese bands and artist, but these 3 are the current most popular ones.
Like and subscribe if you'd like to see more of me 😊❤
You don't need the lyrics to understand this song.
Like Kanami's solo, you just feel it!
"Warning" next!👊🐺🤘
Warning mv! 🍺😁🤘🏻
MIKU's lyrics and melodies are beautiful and complement the song a lot.
Lanae you’re doing a fantastic job! You’re an awesome addition to the Maidiac family. Keep up the good work.🍺😁🤘🏻
4:07 Love this shot of Akane playing an unusual pattern, the drumming throughout the whole song is quite creative.
Akane is not just a good drummer, but closer examination lead to the fact that she is also a genius. Before joining Band Maid, she had a repartoire of 600 songs in her band(700 if you add the more than 100 Band Maid songs now !) I have seen Akane herself saying in one of her videos that she learns drum part all of the songs by converting them in notes. To be honest, I was blown away when I heard that.
The songs are written by Kanami express various humans emotions and sensations very well. It can only be described as genius.
The only lyrics you "have to have" is "feel my soul" and "don't go". When you hear that, you get the idea of the song :). Sorry, I have had some good tequila, I don't think that made sense :). Thanks for the reaction and check out more!!

You never need a reason to listen to Band-Maid. Thanks for reacting.
This is one of the few must see MVs. Also 'Rinne', Blooming', 'Unleash' and 'Shambles'.
The best guitar solo is a beautiful guitar solo that fits the song.
This is the first Band-Maid song I've been able to sing along with the whole way through. No idea what I'm singing, but it hit me so hard I inadvertently memorized it.

As an Akane fan, I think you should check out Band-Maid’s alternative universe dopplegangers - BAND-MAIKO and their song “Secret Maiko Lips”.
Such a beautiful song. Kanami's solo always makes me tear up.❤
Ive heard Daydreaming 100s of times even live in concert and still have never looked up the lyrics 😊
I'm ALWAYS daydreaming about Band Maid🎀!😸
Rip tiny hat
just do double reactions, MV and live! problem solved **pats self on back** lol : )

I don't know how y'all keep yourselves from just going through a band's whole discography, well done for showing the restraint you have!
Choose Me & Daydreaming are the same Side A single on the CD too! 😆 I think both songs talk about love and affection.
You never need to say your sorry for wanting to hear a Kanami solo again!
The huge smile on your face is exactly what happens to me every time I hear ANY Band-Maid song and it doesn’t matter how many times I’ve heard it.
I’ve listened to this song so many times that I can sing along with one of the verses, although I have no idea what I’m saying 😊 (except for the “don’t go” part)
Here are the official music videos that are actually preferred for new listeners to experience (Daydreaming is one) So when one comes around, you’ll know what to pick
“Blooming”
“From Now On”
“Influencer”
“Bubble”
“Glory”
“Thrill”
“Choose Me”
“DICE”
“YOLO”
“Secret MY Lips”
“Secret Maiko Lips”
“Sense”
“Unleash!!!!!”
“After Life”
“Warning!”
“Rinne”
“Shambles”
“Manners”
“Memorable”
Yes. You do have a lot to catch up on! ❤
Kanami's solo in this song perfectly expresses the mood of the song to the listener. Kanami doesn't have to open her mouth, but she is singing to the audience with her instrument.
I'm not crying, you're crying!
Lanae, thanks for reacting to one of my favorite Band-Maid songs. This beautiful power ballad moves everyone who listens to it. The Maids usually play this song at most of their concerts because it's a universal crowd pleaser.
4;46 that's O.K. we All want to hear it again 😸😻
Two great videos: MANNERS and INFLUENCER. I think you'll like both of those and they have closed captions.
I did a reaction to the live versions of manners and black hole if you want to see it 😊
@@lanaeshonestopinion INFLUENCER would still be great for you to see.
Mos their songs offer subtitles under the CC button
Masterpiece! 🔥🤘❤️🥰
one of the best songs this century
Akane's drop into that solo always makes my eyes glisten. Even after all these years.
Many underestimate the lyrics of the songs, MIKU does a formidable and beautiful job. He totally completes the song. I hope that many people understand the songs through MIKU's words. MIKU is and will be Band Maid.

A fan fave and I'm no exception. The guitar solo can be very moving for me - even after 1,000 listens. In their recent 10th anniversary concert, Kanami does a great guitar intro!
You feel her soul!
If you're like me you don't need the lyrics. Miku singing "Daydreaming, dreaming of you" is all I ever needed.
Good choice, and definitely a fan favorite. In live performances they vary the intros a lot, sometimes a long piano intro (played by Kanami) or a guitar intro which has its own variations.
Kinder gentler Band Maid. 😉 Maybe check out Memorable for another softer song by them
OMV is the right choice for DAYDREAMING. English lyrics are available on line. WONDERLAND and ENDLESS STORY have similar vibes.
Might I suggest other all female Japanese rock and metal groups? Nemophila and Lovebites for starters. There´s also Hanabie, but you´ll have to love growls for that one (Nemophila has that to an extent also).
