Спасибо! Thanks a lot for this wonderful analysis! Very deep and interesting, as usual! If you want punchy bass and drums, you should listen to the album version of Magie (the first track on the album). The live version is not so impressive sound-wise. I know you reacted to it already, but to be honest, I was not so much impressed with the live version. Sound quality is important for me, and studio version is quite different in this regard. Saiki actually sings about "fat bass" there 🤘
The cut-out in the middle with crowd noise is a built-in audience participation part. The last thing she sings before it is "let me hear your voice." It'll be awesome live
@@armynurseboy I think it's Saiki's reference to the popularity of the great artists. She stretches her hand through time and reaches to an artist who lived centuries ago, and she essentially tells her "You will not be forgotten." This crowd noise symbolizes this, that an artist will be heard by the people and they will cheer and support them always. At least that's how I perceive Saiki's intention here.
Totally agree. I wasn't a huge fan of Magie when I first heard it. It started to grow on me after watching/hearing it live at a handful of Okyu-ji's and OLMV. The studio version mix is fantastic and wow, the song comes to life. PO!
As you mentioned, I also thinking the same. They wrote this song for very big audience. Just think of the long pause and the roaring of big audience after Saiki say”LET ME HEAR YOUR VOICE”. That gonna be awesome. Btw if you have time check out GIOVANNI (no MV/LIVE but try it on their official channel)
The songs already released earlier in the year are just Band-Maid awesomesauce! The six new songs are so tightly integrated and complex, it's going to take a Tokyo minute to assimilate. But I already love Forbidden Tale, and especially The One. 😉🤘 btw - We should all wish a "Good Luck" to Band-Maid's new self-run management company: Maidit, Co., LTD! Will they managing other bands, boost Cluppo and Maiko projects, or tour more internationally? Or maybe they will expand their business interest to other sectors of the music biz outside of Band-Maid. I believe Kanami wants to get more into composing, scoring and production. And as for Miku and Saiki, the sky's the limit for what they'll want to do in merch, fashion and art, etc.. Thx, Chaos!
Masterful songwriting and storytelling 🔥❤️ They are on their own level in everything 🔥❤️ Lovin’ it! Band-Maid forever 🤘🔥❤️

Thank you so much! Seeing this live with the way it is writing is going to be INCREDIBLE!!!
In case you didn't notice, this is the 2nd time this chorus is used, which will be directed at a live audience in the future.
The very definition of EPIC.

"let me hear your voice".
I get goosebumps each time I hear Saiki shouting this call through time and space...
Have you covered "Influencer."?
I have! That song is in my regular playlist!
