They even changed their own names for Band-Maiko: Miku Kobato→Hatoko Saiki→Fujiki KANAMI→Kanoemi MISA→Umemisa AKANE→Akatsuki 'Gion-Cho' is an original written for Band-Maiko, great song and great video.
This is a gift for their April 1, 2018 April Fool's fans. On that day, their official homepage was replaced by the Band Maiko. At night, they returned to Band-Maid again. This song has Japanese instruments such as shamisen, koto, and wadaiko added, and the lyrics are also in the dialect of Kyoto Clothes. And there is a howl of Misa. Their costumes are those of a young Maiko from Kyoto. In 2019, a mini album of the Band Maiko was released.
Does MISA actually do that howl? I would also like to know who is playing shamisen, koto, and wadaiko on this track. I don't think any of the ladies play traditional instruments.
@@ShikataGaNai100 I don't know the details, but I think it's probably another Japanese instrument player. The shamisen has a rock-taste song called "Tsugaru Jongara Bushi". ruclips.net/video/RcqO0zkyQRo/видео.html
The noodle scene is funny because it's showing Akane as the only one actually eating. It's an inside joke because Akane ALWAYS eats, sometimes even on stage.
Because we had a lot of history with Japanese, we know their stuff. Thank you anime! 😎👍🎌

Band Maiko is an April's fool joke they pulled on their fans some years ago on 1 of April. They told them that they would change the name to Band Maiko and start playing more traditional music. To this date, Band Maiko has made two appearances on two separate 1 April. So there is another song with them.
There are two music videos, as well as a seven song BAND-MAIKO EP. Gion-cho is an original song, the other six (including this one) are MAIKO versions of BAND-MAID songs.
@@matttate9999 They dressed as Maiko for both music videos, this one and the one for Gion-cho: ruclips.net/video/umSt7oMUMcs/видео.html Although they have performed BAND-MAIKO songs in Kyoto a couple of times, those were part of BAND-MAID shows, and they didn't change costumes.
As others have mentioned, the lyrics were redone by Miku in the Kansai dialect from Kyoto. A maiko is a geisha in training. They have an entire EP with Secret Maiko Lips, 5 other re-done songs and one original, Gion-cho. Only Gion-cho and Secret Maiko Lips have MVs. Gion-cho is the name of the district in Kyoto where many geishas live. Gion-cho is highly recommended and has subtitles in English and Japanese romaji. They are playing with the "gap" again here, the contrast between their look (and the expected demeanor) and their music. A geisha and a maid-cafe maid are both entertainers and servers.
@[薔薇尻弾]OYS The number of geisha has gone way down, but the ones who work for the established houses are not doing it as a "side job". Also, the word "geisha" is never used in Kyoto - it's invariably "geiko" in Kyoto.
well band maid evolve.. i started watching them since 2015... i love jrock i already hook j-rock since 2008 tell now... but this band really amaze me a lot pure skill, talents musician wise ..they got mix of genres into 1 music.... hope band maid well be recognize more ... shout out to my idol MISA MISA MISA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On April 1st, 2018 BAND-MAID announced on their social media that they were changing their focus and would be re-branding as "BAND-MAIKO". Then they released this video. At the end of the day they stated they had changed their minds, and would be reverting back to "BAND-MAID". : ) One cool thing is that they changed the dialect of their singing to "Kansai". Miku (or Hatoko as she's known in this video) rewrote the lyrics accordingly. Kansai is the traditional dialect used in the old Capital of Kyoto that is identified with Geisha culture. You might already know that a maiko is an apprentice geiko (geisha) in Kyoto and Western Japan.
Kyoto can't be "identified with geisha culture" because there aren't any geisha in Kyoto. In Kyoto they're invariably referred to as "geiko". They're "geisha" in Tokyo, and Tokyo's geisha culture and Kyoto's geiko culture are different in various ways, including dialect, terminology, manners, and customs. (Some other cities have similar entertainers and use either "geisha" or "geiko", but Tokyo and Kyoto are the largest centers.) Also, the dialect of Kyoto isn't called "Kansai". "Kansai" is the region of Japan in which the cities of Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe are located; "Kansai-ben" (more properly "Kinki Hogen", though they don't entirely overlap) is the general dialect of the Kansai region, and the Japanese refer to Kyoto speech, which is a sub-dialect of Kansai-ben, as "Kyo-kotoba" or "Kyoto-ben", not as "Kansai". When they talk with their customers, geiko and maiko will use standard modern Kyoto speech, but there are many expressions unique to the geiko/maiko culture, some of which go back 100-200 years.

BAND-MAIKO is BAND-MAID's April Fool's Day persona. It started as a joke, that they were changing, but it was just for the day. A Maiko is an apprentice Geisha, so it's still in the Maid theme. Don't forget the other BAND-MAIKO song, 'Gion Cho' . . . ruclips.net/video/umSt7oMUMcs/видео.html
The only band will rival Bando-Maid, their persona band called Band-Maiko. My favorite from theirs is "Tora and Tora", loved the instrumentals on that song. Next you should check out Wagakkiband and Lovebites, another great bands from the land of the rising sun. Love u Hatoko po! 🎌💗👗🐦🐈🎸
They even changed their own names for Band-Maiko:
Miku Kobato→Hatoko
Saiki→Fujiki
KANAMI→Kanoemi
MISA→Umemisa
AKANE→Akatsuki
'Gion-Cho' is an original written for Band-Maiko, great song and great video.
And here it comes the geek-weeb.
There are nowhere near enough reactions out there to Gion-Cho
done as an April Fool's joke.
That looks super cool and unique love that band for the record in Japan
Next...... Gion Cho.

Actually not different than tennismen or other sport(wo)men eating during breaks - drumming at high level is pro sport too!
@@realdocloco Sure, I agree. But from what I gather, she's always been that way.
Band Maid, or Maiko can do anything, they are just that good! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
Well got to say you might be the first reactor to mention Kimono as their garment Impressive. 😊
Because we had a lot of history with Japanese, we know their stuff. Thank you anime! 😎👍🎌

The shodo that Miku does at the beginning says, "World Domination."
人は人、うちはうちと言う部分に気持ちの強い女性の本心が垣間見える。
とても格好良い今を生きる女性の気持ちの本音を歌っている。
Yes the April's fool joke that was in fact a beautiful gem of a song.
So much amazing beauty, both musically and visually!! Thanks Krizz!🤘🤩🤘
