      The truly CRAZY thing about Akane's drumming...she is loose (incoming drum geeking). Instead of gripping the sticks hard at the bottom and using forearm action, she's choking up at the balance point and floating the sticks between her thumb and first two fingers (notice how her pinky and ring fingers barely touch the sticks), flicking her wrists to get that momentum. That's why she constantly looks like her sticks are about to fly away! YET, she is faster on her fills than most drummers I've seen, to the point that I have no idea how she manages to keep such tight control. Frikin Amazing!!

    Freedom is a lighter song that is one of the band's favorites. They've inserted various extra intros and bridges into it over the years, including one where Saiki sang the bridge while standing in the crowd and Miku had to sing the entire final verse. Since they use it as a fun fan-engagement song, it gets less lights and pyro stuff, but a lot more of the band moving around the stage screwing with each other, and hyping up the crowd.

    I love this performance. I feel we're very lucky that Band-Maid not only captured and released this concert on blu-ray/dvd just before the shit really hit the fan, but also have done a couple of live streams since. Same for Lovebites with their Five of a Kind release. In fact, whilst practically all of the Western bands that I like have remained silent during these incredibly difficult times, all the Japanese bands I like have been releasing new material and/or performing live streams: B-M, Lovebites, Mary's Blood, Nemophila, Aldious, exist†trace, Gachapin, Unlucky Morpheus, BRATS, just to name a few. They've really helped me get through a truly horrible year.

    @jefflew358 3 года назад +4

    Miku actually went to a vocal school before starting the band. When she got the band together, she realized that she didn't have the rock vocals (power) that she wanted the band to have. After they recruited Saiki to join the band, Akane, the drummer, recommended that since Miku was not going to be the main vocalist, that she should play guitar to give the band a fuller sound. Miku did not play guitar before that. Kanami is her teacher.
    There are two songs that they have played live (that I am aware of), Time and Rock in Me, where Miku is the only singer, to give Saiki a break. Most people recommended the song Freedom (live) from 2020, since it has the Akane drum solo. My favorite, which is on the 2019 World Domination DVD/BR, has Saiki go into the crowd during the solo, and sing the next verse on the shoulders of fans. It was in a female only section, which were her friends invited by Saiki. After the verse, Miku sings the chorus so Saiki can get back on stage.
    Unfortunately you cannot view it on YT, as any videos from their released DVD's get taken down. You might catch a FanCam video, but it will be poor quality. If you really dig the band live, I would recommend getting the DVD/BR, as they play special intro/fills between songs, and are different on each tour. They also have different lighting and effects for each tour, which are pretty impressive. There are 3 Live from 2018, 2019, and 2020.

    Aaah, there it is :) As much as I love the drum solo (which I can hear like a melody in my head which is actually something I usually associate with Bonham) - what gets me every time is how they re-enter the song from there with the little powerful bridge before the solo. Mindblowing!
    As a next song I think Blooming MV is a very good choice because there is a lot going on musically (and it's a great song!) and I have a soft spot for Wonderland from the Feb2020 show. Very different, somewhat softer song but also a lot going on and with Saiki's vocals really shining.
    Also: how much fun are they having on stage!

    BAND-MAID is a band with a very good live performance.
    When I was playing in a small live house, I had a tremendous sense of speed, and when the performance was over, I remember being very tired.
    Also, at that time, there were many uncles who looked scary, but all of them were good people who helped me when I was in trouble.

They play this song in just about every show and its really just a great moment for the band to have a good time playing with each and performing for the fans, "fan service" if you will but in a Band-Maid style. Now that you've seen this I would recommend tracking down the live version of this song from the 2018 Zepp Tokyo live show.
    This song always brings tears of joy when I hear it and even more so seeing it live as it just completely exemplifies what this band is all about, having fun, playing music, and just being the most adorable little female badasses in music. The pure joy you see on their faces during this song is intoxicating.

    I felt same way on first listen, but it's so catchy it's now grown on me (I liked songs like "Dice" and "Real Existence" on first listen). "Blooming" took time, too, but is now a fave. They are masters at crafting catchy music. I may have said this already, but I really dig the high production values of your videos. Few reactors put as much thought or care into their videos-from titles to background, to how you structure the videos into parts, each with a purpose. Entertaining and smartly done. Love the technical insights, too. Cheers.

    Thanks so much, Tank! Never clicked on a Patreon notification so fast! Just the pure musical skill these ladies have is insane. Already have my Band-Maid Playlist setup for when Star Wars Squadrons comes out. Like you said, just pure rock 'n roll that makes you wanna fly like a demon.
    As for recommendations: "Puzzle" (either the acoustic version with just Kanami and Saiki or the full band version) does a great job showcasing Saiki's vocals; a bit light of instrumental tone though. "Wonderland" is also fantastic for vocals and really shows off Miku's harmonies with Saiki. But with a heavier instrumental tone.

    Maybe you can check out Band-Maid's alter-ego 'Band-Maiko'?
    Notwithstanding pandemics, Band-Maid started doing special 'April Fool's' video surprises for their fans to release on April 1st each yeah.
    Band-Maiko is where they do a MV dressed in traditional Maiko (Geisha in training) cloths and do a song with traditional instrument sounds added in the mix. (and sung in a local dialect from the town famous for Geishas.)
    This song, Gion-Cho is one such example: ruclips.net/video/umSt7oMUMcs/видео.html
    It's even more special in that it was when Kanami first started making the other girls work a bit harder. Kanami at that time was doing all the arrangements and doing a lot of the 'lead/fill/riff' type playing.
    In this song, she arranged it so she could lay back more and do mostly rhythm and let the vocals do more of the work, and the bass & drums do most of the fill & riff playing ... some awesome smooth bass playing and some great Taiko drum style playing by MISA and Akane and great vocals & harmony!!
    Band-Maiko MVs are amazing musical and cinematic treats for their fans ... well worth watching!

    Funny that you say "Freedom" is your "least favorite song" and you "still love it" because I use to say that there is only one song from Band-Maid that I don't like, and I love it! 😅 ("Ai to Jonetsu no Matador")
    "Freedom" as become one of my fav moments in their shows, it always has this aura of good time, and lot's of interaction between them and the audience. My fav "Freedom" performance however is the on in Zepp Tokyo 2018... there is a lot going on and it culminates with Saiki climbing the fence that holds the crowd and is almost engulfed by hands, there are a couple o road crew guys holding her by her belt so she won't fall while singing the chorus... it's such a epic moment... then she climbs off and we don't see her till the end of the song - Miku Kubato sings Saiki's part and the song that comes right after is "REAL EXISTENCE" (another pearl...it's so good so good so good) and more things happen - Saiki appears barefoot (did she lost her shoes in that climbing?) and in the song she starts a little approach and little dance with MISA (always barefoot) ... this Zepp Tokyo 2018 is also the show where "Onset" was taken from...
    Anyway, just subscribed your channel and been watching your Band-Maid reactions and really enjoying it, so glad I clicked the button! Keep'em coming! OH, since I'm here writting all this stuff I might as well recommend another one right? So, my recommendation for next Band-Maid song is..... wait for it.... DJAN: "Don't You Tell Me" live at Zepp Tokyo 2018 (and watch the "battle" of MISA vs KANAMI)
    Cheers!!

    If you like drums, you have to check out a young female Japanese drummer named Yoyoka. She just did a bunch of great sessions with some great Japanese session musicians and singers for her 12th birthday and it's just amazing. She's been drumming since she was two and has had her own RUclips channel since she was 5 or 6. Just amazing. Check her out. She's like probably like Akane was as a child.

    An easy song for them to play and sing. It allows them to relax and clown around a bit. Also, gives Miku and Akane a little time out front. Kanami, Misa, and Saiki are so dominant in most of the songs. They work really hard at highlighting the strengths and personalities of ALL the members of the band.

    After watching my first couple Band-Maid videos, I was convinced that Akane was the best drummer I've heard since John Bonham left us more than forty years ago. However, I'm not an expert so I wasn't confident in my opinion. But if Jimmy Page likes her, then I must be right.
