MISA MISA MISA!!!! The bass player Misa flawlessly transitions from pick to slap without missing a beat. She did it in this video when the camera was on her hands. She did it so quick you guys missed it 😉
A lot of people will recommend Onset live. A great instrumental but the ony versions available are cellphone recordings.. Here are some more live performances professionally recorded still available on RUclips 🤘 Play Moratorium Puzzle Choose Me
Glad you guys checked out the live version. I'd check out the following Band Maid songs... Live: Play, Take Me Higher, Moratorium, Puzzle, Turn Me On, Don't Tell Me MV: Thrill, Bubble, Blooming, The Dragon Cries
They don't have any live albums but they have released a number of DVD/Blu-rays of their performances. A 26 song recording of their full 2018 concert at ZEPP Tokyo. A 15 song recording of their 2017 concert at Studio Coast. A 7 song recording of their 2017 concert at Akasaka Blitz. A 21 song recording of their February 2020 concert at Line Cube Shibuya, that is where this version of Domination is taken from.
@@dicodec sadly anything on japanese music industry is pretty pricey. It's a real pain to get most of it. Some bands have at least CD releases on Europe that costs way less but when it comes to DVD and Blu-ray, is very rare (Babymetal had 2 BDs released on UK, they were very affordable).
Great stage presence is the ability to engage with and take control of the crowd. It is not just running & jumping around all crazy. I have not seen any band with better stage presence than Band-Maid in all my years. That includes almost 20 years working in the music industry. The bands that run & jump around all crazy are typically compensating.
Yeah, stage presence was probably not the best choice of words. I was expecting to see a little more movement. Was just nitpicking a little since the performance was so perfect. Hope you'll forgive me senpai! -Eric
@@dicodec No forgiveness needed. Just a little bit of info for you that might interest you: This was the 20th song in a 21 song, 2 hour set. A full Band-Maid concert is not just a show, it's an experience!
Cool reaction guys. "REAL EXISTENCE" on BAND-MAID's official channel has a killer Kanami solo. These ladies are great in the studio but absolutely awesome live. Kudos.
Guys....this live video was a pre-release for their DVD/blue ray 2020 Saint-Valentine concert......this was release in limited quanities as were the 2 previous concert DVDs (2018&2019) - these are only available on EBay (if you can find them) and very $$$$$
Another great reaction please react to: *Dice* _( Music Video)_ *Puzzle (Live)* *Blooming* _( Music Video)_ _BAND-MAID is like a box of chocolates you never know what surprises you're gonna get._
"Shibuya" is name of area in Tokyo which has famous Shibuya cross. Line Cube Shibuya is hall name. It's capacity is about 2000 and renewal opend in Oct. 2019. On 11th Feb. 2021, they have their concert at Budoukan (14000 arena, near by The Imperial Palace).
Bandmaid are technicians, the drummer even writes for a music based magazine May I introduce you to a Power metal band called Lovebites, these girls even did a gig in Wacken. My suggestion is MV called Rising by Lovebites 🥰
We will do it for sure but the majority are requesting more Bandmaid songs. It tough to say when we will get around to it. I assure you we will though. -Eric
@@dicodec And your high expectations will be exceeded. These girls are not a metal band, not just a great rock band, they combine so many different genres effortlessly including prog rock
Here are the whole recordings of their live show. band-maid-world-domination-tour-shinka-at-line-cube-shibuya-shibuya-public-hall-blu-ray band-maid-world-domination-tour-shinka-at-line-cube-shibuya-shibuya-public-hall-dvd
This is the 22nd song of 23rd on that February 14th, 2020 concert. They always a 2 hours long on a big concert. Yeah, their staminas are just monstrous, especially that gorilla girl drummer, lol. If you wanna watch 'nother great MV from Band-Maid, you could try DICE and Rinne (Reincarnation). Or another live with "Moratorium", "Don't You Tell Me", and "Real Existence". There're lots of solo and bass x guitar battles. Or "Play" for the good intro bass and guitar~
Band maid another one in my top five. Amazing band amazing ladys. I actually saw them live at their first show in Dallas which was sold out. The venue was much smaller but still. I would recommend moratorium or since y’all like the heavier stuff reincarnation.
Hey Kasey! Thanks for the recommendations! And we would love to see them live sometime! Either here in he states or in Japan! As long as we can experience a live performance from them! - Chowder
"Kakatte koi" in the anime "My Hero Academia" was translated to something like "Come at me!" so "Kakatte koiya" (i think that's the romaji for what she said) should mean something similar, probably meaning it in a "Show me ur energy"-type of way. :D Also yeah, would be fun if you guys reacted to MTH lives videos (on the channel I gave u there are a lot of their live stuff, altho I'd suggest more recent lives) but for now I think exploring their discography is better, so u can enjoy the live much more :D
I said in the previous vid but it may have been blocked because there was a link: try Play (live). They're great. Another suggestion I'll do is Unlucky Morpheus. They call themselves "technical melodic speed metal" and they're amazing live. They have one of my 2 favorite vocalists. Just search for "[Official Live Video]Unlucky Morpheus - 「Knight of Sword」" and you'll get the official live video from this song.
That ambient reverb is because they recorded this show with room mics to pick up the audience. If you want to hear some LIVE BAND-MAID with really good Direct-From-The-Board-Sound then check out any of these songs from the Zepp Tokyo LIVE show .
Live is definitely where they shine more! If you want to watch MV’s though, I would suggest Dice and RINNE as those videos I think are a little better than any released live version so far. RINNE is also hard AF!!!
@@Xploeris Hard as in "Hard Rock". Band-Maid, as you know, is not Metal. So you can't compare. Rinne rocks about as hard as you can with crossing over to metal.
As the other guys requested, I also recommend you to see “DICE”(MV), “ONSET” (Live) or “Play “(Live). After those, try “Take my chance” by DOLL＄BOXX. It will blow your mind absolutely. They are female rock band too.
They completed a 14 stop US tour this October '22. Tons of fancam videos all over RUclips. Many with decent audio and video. They've released 'Unseen World" and "Unleash'" since this video. Check out 'Without Holding Back', 'From Now On', 'About Us', 'Manners / Black Hole'
Band-Maid will be doing a crowdless Live Streamed concert on Thursday July 23rd 2020 (time to be announced on their site.) As far as videos being taken down they are re-releasing their live videos on their own RUclips channel. On-Set Live at Zepp Tokyo just went up today with more to come.
I'm almost 40, and these Japanese ladies make me feel something that few other rock bands have ever made me feel. They're fire, and lightyears ahead of us dudes here in the states. They're making us look like untalented children, and I couldn't be more excited.
7:35 "If they have a Live album..." This show was released on DVD/Blue-Ray with 21 of the 23 songs played that night on it (2 acoustic songs in the middle were left out). And yes, most of the show is like this song. Btw, this was the second to last song that night. The DVD arrived today, the next two hours just flew by! 😁
They can do basically any genre. If you want heavier rinne(just not the tv appearance bad sound mixing and forced to cut a third of the song) and moratorium. Or lighter daydreaming and anemone. Or some underappreciated amazing songs shake that, order, freezer. You could even check out their side project where they mix traditional Japanese instruments into the mix. Band-maiko. They are insanely diverse and talented. I could go on and on
Hey thanks for the suggestions! We’ll make sure to avoid the tv appearance and check out those songs! I know I like finding really good under appreciated songs and shining light onto them myself! - Chowder
@@dicodec One more thing i wanted to mention. When knotfest japan got delayed they did a live stream of their set. The first thing they opened up with was a small cover of slipknot's duality. I've also seen them warming up before shows playing Red hot chili peppers stuff before too. It's truly crazy how hard they must work
EVERYONE .. .BTW for all those into BANDMAID ...On JULY 23, 2020 (NEXT WEEK) BANDMAID is having a ONLINE CONCERT at 4pm JST (Japan Time) which is 3am EST here (use an converter online for your time). But that's ok you can watch it at a later time (like within 24 to 48 hours.) Just go to their website and join for free and then go from there by following the links. For less than 20 bucks you can see these girls live. If you like them, Support them! They don't make anything from youtube. They haven't been able do much since this Coronavirus Apocalypse. So support these super talented ladies who are putting a smile on your face by making awesome music!! If Don't Know...Now you Know.. Spread the Word!
Must get my DVD out and playing live. Last year took my daughter to the London concert. Kanami is so adorable until she gets a guitar in her hands and she turns into a goddess.
So I was lucky enough to be at this concert and I'm not sure if anyone mentioned it yet here but they actually played the night before too at the same venue. The first show wasn't recorded but they had the same energy as this one and the playing was on point too. So when when people talk about their stamina, yeah they're effing bad ass. Recommendations: Freedom (live) and Blooming (MV)
I had to laugh at the comment they don't more around much. They do all sorts of stuff in isolation from each other eg. MIKU usually casts a spell on the audience and she does that by herself and its not uncommon for the rest of the band to just sit on the stage and watch her. The bass player MISA quite often stands next to her amp and mixes drinks. Off one of the girls is talking to the audience SAIKI the singer will have her back to the audience while she does something or talthe drummer or just sits down. They do long concerts and have lots of strategies to give each other a break but usually don't leave the stage. You'll get used to it. It's kind of refreshing to have no stage management at all.
Sai-chan ABSOLUTELY owns the crowd! \m/ When she's happy, the "growl" comes out! This also shows just how much Miku (po!) has improved as rhythm gutarist from all of her lessons with her Sensei Mincho!
Onset live. Band maid made it official yesterday. It’s all you need to know about their musicianship. Thank me later. As for their energy - this was near the end of a 23 song over two hour solo concert. They don’t need to run around.
Having seen them live I can tell you, They're one of those bands that's actually better live. That bass drum pounding your chest, those silky smooth vocals and catchy choruses. I tell you what, brought my girlfriend to tears. We've been going to shows for two decades and I've never seen her cry because the music was so moving. They deserve every bit of success that comes their way. Absolutely Masterful performers.
They don't move around a lot? I caught a glimpse of their shoes while they were dancing around. After two hours, it's amazing they are still standing! 😁
Fans of bands have their bias, often saying the live performances are better! However _Band Maid_ is one of those rare ones where that's actually 100% true! I agree that in this live recording the guitars are a little low in the mix. Usually that is not the case....Chur from NZL.
In addition to being a unicorn here!! 🦄 Akane (Drummer & band Leader) plays the trombone & is a classically trained pianist. 🎹 As well as playing in an acoustic band in addition to BandMaid. She is also a DJ 🎚💿 🎧 at various nightclubs. Under the stage name DJ Achi. Which Akane went by in high school. That's a girl that wears a lot of hats lol. Akane also said quote: "I want to continue to break the walls between genres, and continue to do things no one else but BAND-MAID can do! Babymetal has opened up Pandora's Box is all I'm saying lol. Great reaction here by the way. :b
Band-Maid does a mean cover of Slipknot's Duality. Slipknot just announced that Knotfest will commence in Tokyo on January 11th and Band-Maid's on the bill. Then Nippon Budokan the next month on National Foundation Day of Japan. This is a huge honor. Knotfest will tour the world, virus permitting and Band-Maid will be there. Any band who does not sound as good or better live is not much of a band to my way of thinking because all of the greatest ones do. And the very best bands never play the same song the same way twice in a row. That does not reflect badly on previously recorded material. It merely shows Band-Maid is never fully satisfied and continues to grow both as performers and entertainers. There is no finer hard rock band today anywhere on the planet. Sacramento loves Band-Maid and you will soon see just how dedicated and fanatical we Maidiacs are about the most improbable, misunderstood, talented, charismatic and good looking band to appear on the scene since four young men from Liverpool decided they had had enough back in 1970. Long live rock n roll. Long live Band-Maid. Sacramento loves Band-Maid.
Well as you can see, we are becoming fans! They are really awesome, and if they did a Slipknot cover...we DEFINITELY will be reacting to it. You can count on that! - Chowder
@@dicodec l became a fan back in January 2017. I saw them perform at the Echoplex in LA last September and l walked out of that show a deranged fanboy and talking out loud to myself all the way to my car and for sometime afterwards. Before you heard these ladies you saw them and you immediately formed opinions about that appearance. Then you heard them and there was a reaction like WTF? They really know how to play. Simply put the difference between the initial viewing and the initial hearing, that WTF moment, is what Miku calls the "gap". Just about everything this band does is predicated on the gap. Miku is a marketing genius thanks to the 810 year old small pigeon who rents a little space in her beautiful head. Thanks for helping to promote them. I appreciate it.
Love your MTH reactions and now Band Maid, yes J-Metal is loaded with great bands. Note Akane Band Maid’s drummer is hugely influenced by Nao, MTH’s drummer?
i think their song " i cant live without you" is one of the most under rated songs they have. definitely dont want to listen to it while driving the freeway. you will get a ticket, lol
If you guys really want to hear something, check out Wagakki Band's Live Premium Symphonic Concert 2, which has Amy Lee doing Bring Me To Life with Yuko Suzuhana, along with a host of other great songs, accompanied by a full symphonic orchestra. You will not be disappointed.
This version is the best version of this song to date. You can totally feel how jacked they were! As for the not moving around much, crack. I'd like to see you run around all crazy whilst wearing the high heels that they're wearing. (Misa excluded as she's always barefoot on stage.) I'm surprised that Miku didn't roll an ankle and fall on her face jumping off the drum riser to sing her backing vocal in time.
Band Maid is awesome in the studio as well, their energy live or studio is incredible. But the engineers in Japan tend to compress the shit out of everything which is why their live versions sound so much better sonically
Lol im on a roll today. Just binge watching a ton of your videos today. Actually had to shut off my ps4 😂 Another super cool group! Definitely pay attention to the big cosplay events though. Its not uncommon for japanese bands to come and perform. Girugamesh has come to sakura con in 2009. Band maid at sakura con in 2016. I was unable to attend band maid in 2016 but my friend went and got their autographs for me. Super cool and cute signatures. Scandal (not metal) at anime central in 2015 which I was able to attend. There may or may not have been more but those were the big ones for me that I kept up with. Definitely keep an eye out for conventions!
@@dicodec I have had comments removed from RUclips withing seconds of posting but none of them had anything to do with links to music.... Yes despite all of the naysayers political and religious censoring is indeed happening. ):
If you want more Band Maid, there's still plenty more. I don't exaggerate when I say every single song they have is good, just choose a song and make sure it's not a fan cam. Live versions are usually your best bet, but some songs don't have a good live version on RUclips. Whatever you choose next, I'm looking forward to it. Subscribed and hit the bell icon.
As far as stage presence goes, between Saiki Atsumi, Yuko Suzuhana of Wagakki Band and the Queen, Su-Metal, they have more than every other frontwoman in the US combined, all due respect to Amy Lee.
I guess I explained it wrong. They have amzing stage presence. I just meant it would be cool to see them move around just a little more. Which in all actually they don't need it. They still kill it!
I don’t know if anyone else commented this on your other BAND-MAID reactions but the drummer Akane is heavily influenced by Nao from maximum the hormone!! She said she listens to them a lot when shes not working on BAND-MAID stuff
“They don’t have much stage presence, they’re not moving around enough.” “Fuck you, they’re moving around enough.” 😆That’s the only valid response to such a silly statement. The stage presence on display is why the audience energy is so high.
BAND-MAID = new subscriber. Unfortunately Kanami (lead guitarist) is so low in the mix for most of this show. Everything from Zepp is a much better mix & everyone can equally be heard.
No stage presence, oh dear, I guess there might have been one person at the back who was not singing along and totally not into it , but I did not see him/her.
They are so good at playing their instruments and you can't watch all of them at the same time and that is their stage presence you can't be that good and not be noticed and when they sound that good live that's more presence than most bands can muster.
Stage presence was probably not the best word choice on my part. I went in expecting alittle more movement. Honestly though they're so good they don't even need it. -Eric
Band-Maid is a "GREAT" band Maximum The Harmone is a "CRAZY" band Band-maid is a all gal band ( maybe more conservative), they re not as crazy as MTH on stage. In the early stage when i listened to Band-maid , i wish they re as crazy or more head-bang just like MTH. Of coz i get to know MTH 1st then band maid later , just like ur channel. Now i kind of accept it , just the way they are. Listen more to Band-maid song, u will get used to it , u will pay more attention to their musicianship.
Honestly, they're so good they dont need all those crazy moves. Thanks for checking us out. We will definitely be doing more Bandmaid and MTH in the future 🤘 -Eric
When you listen to Japanese Rock/Metal Bands, especially with a female vocalist, ALWAYS listen to the live versions. In Japan they tend to overprocess and focus on the vocals WAY too much. That's because most of the producers and engineers work or worked in J-Pop or something similar, where it's all about the vocals and nobody cares if there's a band or one guy playing the background music with a computer program. It's the same with Babymetal for example. If you listen to their studio albums (especially the self-titled first one) and then the live version you'll think they're two different bands. So, if someone recommends Babymetal, PLEASE listen to the live version of the song. Their live band (Kami Band) is absolutely amazing.
MISA!!!!! MISA!!!!!! MISA!!!!!!!!!!!! the bad ass Bass Assassin. Their Live videos are better about 90% of the time. These 5 musicians get to show their skills. You need to watch more of Band-Maid's videos and what Rock bands moves around on stage anymore ???? None because Rock is dead in the US. Check out the Live versions of Play, Don't you Tell Me, Onset, Moratorium, Puzzle
MISA MISA MISA!!!! The bass player Misa flawlessly transitions from pick to slap without missing a beat. She did it in this video when the camera was on her hands. She did it so quick you guys missed it 😉
Oh snap, nice catch! Her and the vocalist are my favorites haha. -Eric
Sounds like an angry animal trying to get out of the basement. In a $#@! amazing way.
Fun fact, Misa is almost 5'8"
A lot of people will recommend Onset live. A great instrumental but the ony versions available are cellphone recordings.. Here are some more live performances professionally recorded still available on RUclips 🤘
Play
Moratorium
Puzzle

That's dope! We have a lot to check out then haha -Eric

Live: Play, Take Me Higher, Moratorium, Puzzle, Turn Me On, Don't Tell Me
MV: Thrill, Bubble, Blooming, The Dragon Cries
Sweet! Thanks for telling us which lives and music videos. Now hopefully we won't disappoint anyone by not doing either. -Eric
Do the live version of their song Play and you'll definitely see why they're probably one of the best live bands on the planet.
We don't doubt it. Live version of Play will most likely be the one we record next. -Eric
They don't have any live albums but they have released a number of DVD/Blu-rays of their performances.

This show was released on DVD/Blue-Ray with 21 of the 23 songs played that night on it (2 acoustic songs in the middle were left out). And yes, most of the show is like this song. Btw, this was the second to last song that night.
The DVD arrived today, the next two hours just flew by! 😁
They can do basically any genre. If you want heavier rinne(just not the tv appearance bad sound mixing and forced to cut a third of the song) and moratorium. Or lighter daydreaming and anemone. Or some underappreciated amazing songs shake that, order, freezer. You could even check out their side project where they mix traditional Japanese instruments into the mix. Band-maiko. They are insanely diverse and talented. I could go on and on
Hey thanks for the suggestions! We’ll make sure to avoid the tv appearance and check out those songs! I know I like finding really good under appreciated songs and shining light onto them myself! - Chowder
@@dicodec One more thing i wanted to mention. When knotfest japan got delayed they did a live stream of their set. The first thing they opened up with was a small cover of slipknot's duality. I've also seen them warming up before shows playing Red hot chili peppers stuff before too. It's truly crazy how hard they must work
EVERYONE .. .BTW for all those into BANDMAID ...On JULY 23, 2020 (NEXT WEEK) BANDMAID is having a ONLINE CONCERT at 4pm JST (Japan Time) which is 3am EST here (use an converter online for your time). But that's ok you can watch it at a later time (like within 24 to 48 hours.) Just go to their website and join for free and then go from there by following the links. For less than 20 bucks you can see these girls live. If you like them, Support them! They don't make anything from youtube. They haven't been able do much since this Coronavirus Apocalypse. So support these super talented ladies who are putting a smile on your face by making awesome music!! If Don't Know...Now you Know.. Spread the Word!
Must get my DVD out and playing live. Last year took my daughter to the London concert. Kanami is so adorable until she gets a guitar in her hands and she turns into a goddess.
That's some good parenting right there! -Eric
@@dicodec I was worried she would not like it as rock has not been her natural go to genre, eg Ed Sheeran.
Very astute observations, gentlemen. I shall continue my review of your reviews. 😎🤘
Thank you kind sir! -Eric
So I was lucky enough to be at this concert and I'm not sure if anyone mentioned it yet here but they actually played the night before too at the same venue. The first show wasn't recorded but they had the same energy as this one and the playing was on point too. So when when people talk about their stamina, yeah they're effing bad ass. Recommendations: Freedom (live) and Blooming (MV)
That's so awesome! Can't imagine the hype in the room. -Eric
Yes that's what I'm talking about try don't you tell me live
yeah that one rock your socks off
You got it! -Eric
I had to laugh at the comment they don't more around much. They do all sorts of stuff in isolation from each other eg. MIKU usually casts a spell on the audience and she does that by herself and its not uncommon for the rest of the band to just sit on the stage and watch her. The bass player MISA quite often stands next to her amp and mixes drinks. Off one of the girls is talking to the audience SAIKI the singer will have her back to the audience while she does something or talthe drummer or just sits down. They do long concerts and have lots of strategies to give each other a break but usually don't leave the stage. You'll get used to it. It's kind of refreshing to have no stage management at all.
To have the material down to near flawlessness and do all that stuff mid concert is mind blowing. -Eric
Sai-chan ABSOLUTELY owns the crowd! \m/ When she's happy, the "growl" comes out!
This also shows just how much Miku (po!) has improved as rhythm gutarist from all of her lessons with her Sensei Mincho!
They are all absolutely amazing! -Eric
@Nate S ABSOLUTELY is right not only is getting them to sing along but it is a Japanese crowd singing English
Onset live. Band maid made it official yesterday. It’s all you need to know about their musicianship. Thank me later. As for their energy - this was near the end of a 23 song over two hour solo concert. They don’t need to run around.
Already got it ready to go for our next filming sesh. -Eric
MISA MISA MISA!
That's the bassist right? One of my new favorites, along with the Vocalist! -Eric
@@dicodec Yes! My heart sings!
😀
Having seen them live I can tell you, They're one of those bands that's actually better live. That bass drum pounding your chest, those silky smooth vocals and catchy choruses. I tell you what, brought my girlfriend to tears. We've been going to shows for two decades and I've never seen her cry because the music was so moving. They deserve every bit of success that comes their way. Absolutely Masterful performers.
Oh wow, that's so cool! Always great to see artist who are so good that they can do that. Also the people with big hearts who can be moved by music.
"What's she just saying?" She says かかってこいや！ "Bring it on!"
I reccoment the live version of "play" think you guys will love it.
We got it in the books. It's happening, be ready! 🤘 -Eric
3:49 she said “Shibuya come at me”
Oh, sweet! Thanks for translating that for us 🤘
They don't move around a lot? I caught a glimpse of their shoes while they were dancing around. After two hours, it's amazing they are still standing! 😁
We have learned the error of our ways, huge fans now.
@@dicodec No criticisms intended, my friends! Rock on!
Black MISA Black MISA Black MISA!
My new favorite along with the vocalist! ❤-Eric
Check out "Play" live version.
Already got it recorded. Video out soon! -Eric
yoo!! i need see you reaction song:: BAND MAID / REAL EXISTENCE (April 13th, 2018)
Live.Thank you :D
We keep hearing a lot of good things from the 2018 tour. We’ll definitely be checking this song out soon! - Chowder
@@dicodec this version of Real existence is Insane, i agréé.
Recomended its fucking amazing
Fans of bands have their bias, often saying the live performances are better! However _Band Maid_ is one of those rare ones where that's actually 100% true! I agree that in this live recording the guitars are a little low in the mix. Usually that is not the case....Chur from NZL.
It still cut through, that's all that matters. -Eric
In addition to being a unicorn here!! 🦄 Akane (Drummer & band Leader) plays the trombone & is a classically trained pianist. 🎹
As well as playing in an acoustic band in addition to BandMaid. She is also a DJ 🎚💿 🎧 at various nightclubs. Under the stage name DJ Achi.
Which Akane went by in high school. That's a girl that wears a lot of hats lol. Akane also said quote:
"I want to continue to break the walls between genres, and continue to do things no one else but BAND-MAID can do!
Babymetal has opened up Pandora's Box is all I'm saying lol. Great reaction here by the way. :b
Dang she is an absolute boss!
Band-Maid does a mean cover of Slipknot's Duality. Slipknot just announced that Knotfest will commence in Tokyo on January 11th and Band-Maid's on the bill. Then Nippon Budokan the next month on National Foundation Day of Japan. This is a huge honor. Knotfest will tour the world, virus permitting and Band-Maid will be there. Any band who does not sound as good or better live is not much of a band to my way of thinking because all of the greatest ones do. And the very best bands never play the same song the same way twice in a row. That does not reflect badly on previously recorded material. It merely shows Band-Maid is never fully satisfied and continues to grow both as performers and entertainers. There is no finer hard rock band today anywhere on the planet. Sacramento loves Band-Maid and you will soon see just how dedicated and fanatical we Maidiacs are about the most improbable, misunderstood, talented, charismatic and good looking band to appear on the scene since four young men from Liverpool decided they had had enough back in 1970. Long live rock n roll. Long live Band-Maid. Sacramento loves Band-Maid.
Well as you can see, we are becoming fans! They are really awesome, and if they did a Slipknot cover...we DEFINITELY will be reacting to it. You can count on that! - Chowder
@@dicodec l became a fan back in January 2017. I saw them perform at the Echoplex in LA last September and l walked out of that show a deranged fanboy and talking out loud to myself all the way to my car and for sometime afterwards. Before you heard these ladies you saw them and you immediately formed opinions about that appearance. Then you heard them and there was a reaction like WTF? They really know how to play. Simply put the difference between the initial viewing and the initial hearing, that WTF moment, is what Miku calls the "gap". Just about everything this band does is predicated on the gap. Miku is a marketing genius thanks to the 810 year old small pigeon who rents a little space in her beautiful head. Thanks for helping to promote them. I appreciate it.
@@sacluvsBM 2017? Late to the party, eh? :-)
I don't know if this has been mentioned but if you want to see the band(minus vocals) watch the live version of Onset...you will be blown away!
3:49 "Shibuya? kakkatekoiyo (bring it on)!"
ShibuKou kakattekoiyo!
ShibuKou/渋公
(Shibuya Koukaido/渋谷公会堂)
AKIO illustrator wow thanx!
Ah that's what she said! Haha -Eric
puzzle live next this will burn your soul ! please spam! more band maid
We gotchu! We will mass record Band Maid reactions. -Eric
Love your MTH reactions and now Band Maid, yes J-Metal is loaded with great bands. Note Akane Band Maid’s drummer is hugely influenced by Nao, MTH’s drummer?
We never thought we would like them both so much haha. Yup we heard about that. Hopefully Band-Maid featuring MTH will happen in the future. -Eric
i think their song " i cant live without you" is one of the most under rated songs they have. definitely dont want to listen to it while driving the freeway. you will get a ticket, lol
Alright we will check it out. 🤘 why though? 😂 Because it's illegal to have straight fire coming out of your car?
Nice, I think you should do check out Lovebites and Unlucky Morpheus next /,,/
See yah on next vid! 🔥😎🎌🎸
Got those on the list and ready to record. Thanks for the suggestions! -Eric
If you guys really want to hear something, check out Wagakki Band's Live Premium Symphonic Concert 2, which has Amy Lee doing Bring Me To Life with Yuko Suzuhana, along with a host of other great songs, accompanied by a full symphonic orchestra. You will not be disappointed.
We definitely have to check it out! Thanks for the heads up. 🤘
This version is the best version of this song to date. You can totally feel how jacked they were!
As for the not moving around much, crack. I'd like to see you run around all crazy whilst wearing the high heels that they're wearing. (Misa excluded as she's always barefoot on stage.) I'm surprised that Miku didn't roll an ankle and fall on her face jumping off the drum riser to sing her backing vocal in time.
I will give you that haha! Honestly, i just nit picking a little since they were near flawless on stage. -Eric
Saiki said "Just Bring it!" to audience. It is the album title of theirs also.
Oh nice! Thanks for explaining that.
@@dicodec Please check Ningen Isu also. You will be surprised at first just like Band-Maid case in a different way,
they just relesed on they you tube my favoite onset live 2018 it and the quickest start of is an instrumental.
Dope! We will get to that one as soon as we can fam. -Eric
Kanami destroys your emotional system, then comes Saiki with its elegance and sweetness to completely melt you, in the end, how can you survive my god
Band Maid is awesome in the studio as well, their energy live or studio is incredible. But the engineers in Japan tend to compress the shit out of everything which is why their live versions sound so much better sonically
Either way it sounds great!
Lol im on a roll today. Just binge watching a ton of your videos today. Actually had to shut off my ps4 😂
Another super cool group! Definitely pay attention to the big cosplay events though. Its not uncommon for japanese bands to come and perform. Girugamesh has come to sakura con in 2009. Band maid at sakura con in 2016. I was unable to attend band maid in 2016 but my friend went and got their autographs for me. Super cool and cute signatures. Scandal (not metal) at anime central in 2015 which I was able to attend. There may or may not have been more but those were the big ones for me that I kept up with. Definitely keep an eye out for conventions!
Oh awesomeness! 🤘
"RUclips removes links immediately" Really? Not on my channel... or on things I have posted in other channels..... Strange..
Not sure if Alan set it up that way or if it was just like that. Yeah it is strange....-Eric
@@dicodec
I have had comments removed from RUclips withing seconds of posting but none of them had anything to do with links to music.... Yes despite all of the naysayers political and religious censoring is indeed happening. ):
If you want more Band Maid, there's still plenty more. I don't exaggerate when I say every single song they have is good, just choose a song and make sure it's not a fan cam. Live versions are usually your best bet, but some songs don't have a good live version on RUclips. Whatever you choose next, I'm looking forward to it. Subscribed and hit the bell icon.
Thank you so much! So far everything we have heard was amazing. So many songs we need to react to! -Eric
As far as stage presence goes, between Saiki Atsumi, Yuko Suzuhana of Wagakki Band and the Queen, Su-Metal, they have more than every other frontwoman in the US combined, all due respect to Amy Lee.
I guess I explained it wrong. They have amzing stage presence. I just meant it would be cool to see them move around just a little more. Which in all actually they don't need it. They still kill it!
How about trying a rockin' live instrumental song called Onset?
Just search for (band maid onset zeep)
I added it on my list of suggestions we must react to. We gotchu fam! -Eric
I don’t know if anyone else commented this on your other BAND-MAID reactions but the drummer Akane is heavily influenced by Nao from maximum the hormone!! She said she listens to them a lot when shes not working on BAND-MAID stuff
Yup yup, so cool. I hear she even covered an MTH song.
If you want to hear a longer Akane drum solo you will have to watch Freedom (Live) from the same concert. It is most awesome thing she has done.
I think we did react to that one.
This is a normal Band maid concert😆😆😆😆
Band-Maid is "live band".
We definitely felt the lives more but studio or live it still sounds great! -Eric
You guys should try Wonderland!
Like drop'n back on occasion to. Check out your older react's for BM..the time they 'pop'd ur cherry'..
It certainly has been a while maybe we should check some of those out as well haha. Appreciate you watching again though. You are awesome ❤
Try to react on band maid - onset mv
Got that one on my listy list. So that one for sure music video right?
These girls rip!! Misa, the barefoot assassin on bass
You're so right! They never fail to bring the hype
Pls do react to "TriDent" song "continue"
Junna the drummer of this band is no.1 in Japan.🔥🙏🏻❣️❣️❣️❣️ All girls.
One of our viewers sent us a link to their song Just Fight. We will be sure to check them out! 🤘
Dec. 13 Two hour live show...
“They don’t have much stage presence, they’re not moving around enough.”
“Fuck you, they’re moving around enough.”
😆That’s the only valid response to such a silly statement. The stage presence on display is why the audience energy is so high.
Lol hey hey calm down I corrected myself 😂
ye the gutiar is mixed badly, but played flawlessly
Band-Maid always killing it!
BAND-MAID = new subscriber. Unfortunately Kanami (lead guitarist) is so low in the mix for most of this show. Everything from Zepp is a much better mix & everyone can equally be heard.
Thank you! It still sounded epic though. We will be checking it out for sure. -Eric
You said it more succinctly! After making a similar comment I should now delete it. lol
more fuckin'
Band Maid has three live DVD's.
Which of the three do you think is the best?
Look at these fresh faced normies, having no idea what they were about to get into.
This was interesting trip to past. 😁
No stage presence, oh dear, I guess there might have been one person at the back who was not singing along and totally not into it , but I did not see him/her.
They are so good at playing their instruments and you can't watch all of them at the same time and that is their stage presence you can't be that good and not be noticed and when they sound that good live that's more presence than most bands can muster.
Stage presence was probably not the best word choice on my part. I went in expecting alittle more movement. Honestly though they're so good they don't even need it. -Eric
@@dicodec Don't worry they have a lot of fancams, Kanamincho is wild on stage and the Gorilla on drums.
U should review Trust Company
Is that the song or the band?
Dicodec its a band! One of their songs is downfall!
Added to the list! -Eric
Dicodec thank u sir
How far you have fallen under the Magic Spell.....
Domintation?
oh WOW!
Band-Maid is a "GREAT" band
Maximum The Harmone is a "CRAZY" band
Band-maid is a all gal band ( maybe more conservative), they re not as crazy as MTH on stage.
In the early stage when i listened to Band-maid , i wish they re as crazy or more head-bang just like MTH.
Of coz i get to know MTH 1st then band maid later , just like ur channel.
Now i kind of accept it , just the way they are.
Listen more to Band-maid song, u will get used to it , u will pay more attention to their musicianship.
Honestly, they're so good they dont need all those crazy moves. Thanks for checking us out. We will definitely be doing more Bandmaid and MTH in the future 🤘 -Eric
Watch it. Saiki is mine muahahaha
That's fine there are 4 other amazing girls in this band haha. I'm terrible..... I'll leave.
When you listen to Japanese Rock/Metal Bands, especially with a female vocalist, ALWAYS listen to the live versions. In Japan they tend to overprocess and focus on the vocals WAY too much. That's because most of the producers and engineers work or worked in J-Pop or something similar, where it's all about the vocals and nobody cares if there's a band or one guy playing the background music with a computer program.
It's the same with Babymetal for example. If you listen to their studio albums (especially the self-titled first one) and then the live version you'll think they're two different bands. So, if someone recommends Babymetal, PLEASE listen to the live version of the song. Their live band (Kami Band) is absolutely amazing.
Ah I see. Great analysis we will take it to heart. -Eric
"ファッキン"使うなって言ったらコメントできなそう
MISA!!!!! MISA!!!!!! MISA!!!!!!!!!!!! the bad ass Bass Assassin. Their Live videos are better about 90% of the time. These 5 musicians get to show their skills. You need to watch more of Band-Maid's videos and what Rock bands moves around on stage anymore ???? None because Rock is dead in the US. Check out the Live versions of Play, Don't you Tell Me, Onset, Moratorium, Puzzle
You're right she is a beast! We wrapped up filming today and got to three Band-Maid songs reacted to. 🤘 -Eric
Band-Maid、中途半端にいじるなよ！マジにいけよ！
Welcome to Level Asian.
Level Asian haha. I like that -Eric
You guys sound like kids who started cussing for the first time.
you want some girls to jump in the crowd heck no thats sketchy
Okay that is too far
Silly
