I just watch clip after clip after clip... This band is just SO amazingly cool! Someone once wrote about the Ramones that "they just stand there, right in your face, and come at you with everything they have!" This band truly is what the spirit of rock and roll really is. I pray they never stop doing what they are doing.... Its's mind-blowing! That riff trade of between Misa and Kanami!!! They're just being a band and the rest of us are just here with our jaws on the floor :O
Why these young ladies are not playing in front of thousands baffles me. They are one of the best bands out there. I don't quite understand why they are basically ignored by the music media. They truly deserve recognition.
It's mystery for everybody. Maybe God just has mercy on us hardcore fans, and lets us enjoy such an intimate closeness with the band for a while? It would be the best course of things: they play tiny venues until they are, say, 40, produce 15 great albums with 300 songs, then they get media attention, and become billionaires. And then they retire :-)
Sometimes it's up to the fans to help them become popular. Recommend them to people that you know and keep promoting the band in forums or social media.

@@Nemesis_T_Type I think my friends already think that the poor guy has lost his mind :-) I can't talk about anything else. I'm trying to be moderate, but I'm afraid this thing is above my ability to resist...
@@Rabbi_Rabbs Ah... You know it, they are very generous with their hooks, and don't care about "amassing the treasures."

Where ever the word bass or bass player is defined or described there should ALWAYS be an image of MISA! She is a brilliant musician. I love this band!
The vantage point of the camera/recorder was on the bass side. As a result, we can hear Misa's great bass play even more than usual. She's great, and pure charm, quiet charisma. Kanami on guitar is truly world class, one of the best performing today. So the great drummer. Band Maid is pure excitement, energy. I hope they become globally successful.
@@otobokegaijin6218 I remember that great picture of Kami Band with Akane and Kanami, where Mikio Fujioka was wearing Akane's hat. It seems they were good friends. May he rest in peace!
@@VladimirChupin Yeah, Mikio Fujioka was a kind of mentor to Akane and Kanami, and when he died they both wrote nice tributes to him, as did a number of other Japanese musicians, including Midori of Lovebites. The members of the Japanese groups recently receiving attention in the West--Babymetal, Bandmaid, Lovebites, Maximum the Hormone, etc--all know each other. The Japanese music market is extremely competitive but also fraternal and cooperative, as musicians should be.
Woah--nice to get a head full of Misa's extraordinary and powerful "beast bass"on this! She just drives it so hard with Akane, that supple, potent groove is undeniable. I could hear some of Kanami's blistering leads, can you imagine how much fun she has playing over the top of this rhythm section? Astounding...
Not only is Misa extremely talented, she's also versatile and knows what to play when. I've heard some bassists who just play slap on every song, no matter the style the song is. Misa knows when to slap, when play aggressively, when to play melodically (sometimes all in the same song).
MISA's hero, Paz Lenchantin has been doing it for years with Smashing Pumpkins, A Perfect Circle, Zwan and solo. She doesn't do it all the time like MISA though.
I know this sounds like a goofy observation, but I have to say that Akane has really great posture when she plays....sits up nice and straight but still very relaxed....She's a show on her own...Every member of this band really is fun to watch!!!....
You know that she damaged her back at the beginning of her career in BAND-MAID? Since then, she was definitely working on correcting her pose, and now she does not hang her head while drumming, which she did before.
@@VladimirChupin She seems successful from the mishap, as a drummer the sitting posture is the utter importance to longevity, first time i seen her play her positioning was obvious + very professional looking.
as much as I want Band-Maid to explode world wide I'm selfish in saying that I'm glad they are not yet popular. Watch them play in LA last Nov was such an awesome time. I was standing in front of Misa stage left and at most maybe 200 fans. The intimate relationship that Band-Maid has with their fans at the small venues is priceless. But they deserve to be bigger. I can't wait to see them again in LA later this month
Mad Maxman said: The extra serving at Akasaka on August 2nd was great. I was just overwhelmed by the roar of the floor of the live house, the roar of the guitar, and the flood of noise and heat. A cute and intense live with cuteness and intenseness is shocking and wonderful as it is too intense. In their live, they can experience different spaces that they can not know at all in CDs and sound sources. And I can not talk about this band without knowing it. It's Rock of Messiah! ! ! What was impressive in the August 2 in Tokyo / Akasaka serving (live) was the song “Don't be long” as a new instrumental, and 輪廻 (Rinne) as a new song. Both songs were wonderful without disappointing, but recording was prohibited, and we can't show it. It was also announced that a new CD album will be released by the end of the year (end of December). Surprisingly, MIKU sang while playing "TIME" on an acoustic guitar. I was surprised that she sang with an acoustic guitar with a sweet voice. Everyone seemed to be enjoying music while playing, and it was only fun and attractive to smile and violently sing. Surprisingly, Kanami, who floated in the music, swallowed the whiskey placed for MISA at once and played the guitar improvised like crazy. I was impressed by the appearance of a musical spirit. What I thought was that they were not a small live house of only about 1000 people in Akasaka, but artists who are worth playing in a large hall that can accommodate over 10,000 customers like Budokan.

thank you for this amazing footage. I love baby metal, but this band has it all A COMPLETE PACKAGE. Their songs can be on repeat at any given time either on stage or in home or in a car. They are so raw and refreshing to the rock music world. This band needs a major promoter not just Live Nation but a person that says "fuck it, I'm going to put them in a BIG ASS STAGE and blow everyones mind". They don't need no huge ass stage production like baby metal, all they need is to show their talent on stage and the rest is history. The music speaks for itself.
Thanks Vlad!! Once again you get the best Misa/Akane angles!! I pretty much have run out of superlatives for Akane. I mean she is so slick, tremendous feel. Look at how loose her shoulders, arms, wrists and body are. Someone taught her right. She is in total charge of the songs and her kit. She just is totally Badass. I really enjoyed seeing exactly what she is doing during Clang. She just builds the different rhythms effortlessly and she crushes on "You" as well. Really always appreciate your "Up" Vlad!
Fave video of the 5 of them is when they were staying at practice camp near mt Fuji. No music,even ! ---Just the five goofing around and occasionally annoying one anther.!!! great fun!! Wonderful video !
Fine job. Great video.Thanks for uploading! It was warm all around, not only the room’s temperature and Paris, but the band, the public. Seing these girls live was plain amazing and honestly touching. They don’t show off, no posture whatsoever, shy and wild at the same time, they just provide pure energy and solid rock music.
@@VladimirChupin Band Maid is a living legend. The fact that you documented their development includes you in the 'legendary' status. You are a major factor in the history of Band Maid!
@@VladimirChupin What you did was taking the best gift to the musical world and regifted Band Maid to help them become the Megastars they deserve to be. God bless you.
I think the Japanese people, in general, understand life better than we the Westerners. It's such a simple thing, to recognize that money is not all you need in the world, but alas, most of the businesses in the West are money-centred. In Japan, when you start a business, the idea is not to make money, but to do well what you have purposed to do-and the money will come naturally, as a byproduct of hard work. If your business is not profitable, for the Japanese people it simply means that you are not serving the society well. Like the doubts Akane had when she was invited to join the all-girls band. She said that the girls usually don't have enough motivation, and don't work hard enough. That was her only concern: not that she will not make a lot of money, etc.
@@VladimirChupin They do work hard, don't they? Real hard. That's why they're so close knitted. They have the same goal, every members support each other and sacrifice their private life for the music. And now they're pushing 30. Akane turned 30 recently. I really thank band-maid for their enormous effort.
@@lurkmerchant They all deserve to be the role models for anyone of us. Absolutely selfless, centred on serving the others, really hard-working... Amazing people in an amazing band.
Saiki has improved significantly over the past year. She already had that magical power in her voice before, but it was not so perfectly expressed as in Unseen World songs. The band has reached a new level, definitely...
It's kind a funny. I think they do it on purpose so the roadie won't be standing around and get bored. Sometimes you see him smiling and talking to the girls while performing 2hr shows.
AWESOME Vladimir....Always grateful for your video's of BAND-MAID.....The Ladies Always Give a Blistering Performance and Deliver The Goods....Cheers From Ohio
It's too bad that they aren't coming anywhere near Ohio during their short stint in the US. If they ever come anywhere near Ohio, I will make sure to be there!
Sadly they won't be playing small venues like this for much longer. Beyond amazing. That stage is dangerous AF. They have a white line to warn of a drop right into that steel barrier.
Even if they step too far ahead, it's not that dangerous, because the stage is very low, almost at the ground level. And the fans will definitely catch them if they fall :-)
I think both training and inborn talent. In order to be an entertainer like this, you have to be born with that quality. The same for guitar playing-or any other musical instrument, for that matter. There are many people who spend years learning guitar, and still that guitar in their hands looks like it's an enemy they fight with. And there are people like Kanami, where the guitar seems to be singing all by itself, when she takes it in her hands. The same for MISA, of course. One touch of a finger, and her bass starts roaring like a motorbike when you start its engine. In case of Akane, it looks like her drum kit is the extension of her brain-not even of her hands and feet, but literally of her brain. That rhythm seems to be borne with a speed much faster than the human limbs can move. But OK, she's only half-human, maybe that's why...

Only drum&bass from that corner, sorry... The best sound was in Hamburg. Bochum was OK, but a little bit of reverb was present. It seems I was in the wrong sound zone. If I would be a bit further from the stage, I would probably get the perfect stereo base.
@@VladimirChupin After studying the video, I understand how she does it. I've tried it .... and I've tried it again .... and again. You have to get used to using the other fingers and not drop the fucking pick all the fucking time :-) ....and you have to be faast man!
MISA MISA MISA !!! 😜 It has turned into a very interesting mix, that the sound is so much preferring MISA's bass. I came to appreciate her even more. Even though "more" was probably not possible, she was always my major crush in BAND-MAID. Although I must confess that Mincho in Hamburg has stolen my heart...
Sometimes she does have a mic. In Japan, she usually does have one. Although she does not provide any backing vocals. She uses that mic for the "opening ceremony," when she opens a beer can, so that the audience may hear the sound.
Sadly, Kanami-san, you are once again in the back of this video for most of it. Of all of the ladies in this group, I think that Kanami looks like she is having the most fun. Watch her as she is jamming and she just looks serene as she is tapping away or jamming out in front. In both the videos and the live shows, she really looks like she is having fun playing her heart out for us.
Some people on Reddit complained that my phone obscures their view, and therefore I decided to stay at the side as much as possible. I was not able to do in Bochum, because a security guy would not let me. In Hamburg, I was also at side, but at that concert I decided to switch to Kanami's side. And it was a good decision. I appreciated her so much more.
@@VladimirChupin No worries. It is hard to get everyone when you are in the crowd doing the filming. My main complaint is that Kanmai is minimized in the official videos when I really feel that she is the backbone of the group. Of course, your video also made me realize how awesome a guitarist that Rika is. These ladies are truly talented and I am happy that people like yourself do all this work to share their hard work with us!
@@felinious Thanks a lot! Somebody else said that it would be good to record the concerts, but it's terrible when all 100 people start doing it. There should be a few appointed filmers with good cameras, and the rest should concentrate on jumping and screaming, and encouraging the band, resting assured that the concert will have a good coverage, and recordings will be made available later. Basically, it's a question of co-ordination. I don't know, though, how it should best be done...

Seing these girls live was plain amazing and honestly touching. They don’t show off, no posture whatsoever, shy and wild at the same time, they just provide pure energy and solid rock music.
"...shy and wild..." LOL....perfect! 😜
Yes-------"Shy and Wild" !---Perfect phrase !!!!!!!------Bandmaid should name one of their songs that !
Miku is an indomitable spirit!.
I love Miku, she's so sweet and heartily
Holy shit !!! These GIRLS can ROCK
Beautiful footage. Can't wait for the LA show. Thanks.
Foot stomping Bass!!🎸🎸
この一連の映像は宝に成るでしょうね。
I was fortunate to meet Mr. Chupin in San Diego. When I introduced him to my lady friend, all I could say was "this man is a legend".
I am still surprised when I hear this 😂 Why a legend? I'm just a fly on the wall. A fly with a phone, that's it 🙇♂️
🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
@@VladimirChupin Band Maid is a living legend. The fact that you documented their development includes you in the 'legendary' status. You are a major factor in the history of Band Maid!
@@randymcmillen647 Well, I just did what must be done. The cultural heritage of humanity must be preserved!
@@VladimirChupin What you did was taking the best gift to the musical world and regifted Band Maid to help them become the Megastars they deserve to be. God bless you.

Vlad, thanks again for the work you put into these videos and this channel. It is appreciated!
Thank you Vladimir.....Your AWESOME ✌
You confuse things - it's BAND-MAID which is awesome 😂
I am just a humble fan with a phone 🙏
@@VladimirChupin OK THEN! I'LL REPHRASE THAT..YOUR'RE AN AWESOME FAN WITH A PHONE CAPTURING THESE FABULOUS LADIES...

HQ as always :) MISA`s hair blowing in the wind in the "Play" intro...
Big thanks for the upload Vlad, amazing capture, feels like we're there. Great work from these ladies!!
GOD ALMIGHTY....THESE GALS ARE FABULOUS....GOTTA SEE THEM....THESE VIDS ARE GREAT..CAN SEE AKANE AT HER BEST...OH THAT SMILE...!
These three songs need a music video even if they are from the previous album.
As always Thanks for the Upload Vlad, its like we are on stage as well many thanks BandMaid 4ever 💪🏻
You are always welcome! 🎸🤘👍
High quality stuff right there. That camera and the angle are fantastic.
I think I heard MISA drop a note...she's human after all! Thanks for this.
Misa, Misa, Misa
Thank you Vladimir!! A great video!!
Hi, My name is Bob.....and I'm addicted to Band-Maid.....and that makes me happy ;-)
🤘💕
Well joy shines through...playing and having fun is obviously more important to this girls than just being an industrial moneymaking thing..!
I think the Japanese people, in general, understand life better than we the Westerners. It's such a simple thing, to recognize that money is not all you need in the world, but alas, most of the businesses in the West are money-centred. In Japan, when you start a business, the idea is not to make money, but to do well what you have purposed to do-and the money will come naturally, as a byproduct of hard work. If your business is not profitable, for the Japanese people it simply means that you are not serving the society well. Like the doubts Akane had when she was invited to join the all-girls band. She said that the girls usually don't have enough motivation, and don't work hard enough. That was her only concern: not that she will not make a lot of money, etc.
@@VladimirChupin They do work hard, don't they? Real hard. That's why they're so close knitted. They have the same goal, every members support each other and sacrifice their private life for the music. And now they're pushing 30. Akane turned 30 recently. I really thank band-maid for their enormous effort.
@@lurkmerchant They all deserve to be the role models for anyone of us. Absolutely selfless, centred on serving the others, really hard-working... Amazing people in an amazing band.
いつも良いポジションで見てますね!
beautiful voice
Saiki has improved significantly over the past year. She already had that magical power in her voice before, but it was not so perfectly expressed as in Unseen World songs. The band has reached a new level, definitely...
MISA is so bad ass!!!!!
Misa, Barefoot Bass-Godess!
02:50 The poor roadie is going to have a nervous breakdown by the time the tour is finished! And the ladies are teasing him too....LOL
It's kind a funny. I think they do it on purpose so the roadie won't be standing around and get bored. Sometimes you see him smiling and talking to the girls while performing 2hr shows.
Fortunately for him, how many would like to be in his shoes,+ Roadie for this wonderband.
Great angle of view.👍
Misa is playing in so little light, it is reminiscent of Blackers just before he left Deep Purple in '75.
In other words, she is the "woman in black".
AWESOME Vladimir....Always grateful for your video's of BAND-MAID.....The Ladies Always Give a Blistering Performance and Deliver The Goods....Cheers From Ohio
It's too bad that they aren't coming anywhere near Ohio during their short stint in the US. If they ever come anywhere near Ohio, I will make sure to be there!
@@BioHizzle. My Brother saw them in California...said they were Absolutely On Fire....lucky stiff...LOL
ミサはパリコレのモデルみたいだね。
4:03 that smile thou. Misa misa oh misa. I'm melting. deym.
MISA roolz. That's how the instrument is meant to be played.
MISA MISA MISA!
Sadly they won't be playing small venues like this for much longer. Beyond amazing. That stage is dangerous AF. They have a white line to warn of a drop right into that steel barrier.
Even if they step too far ahead, it's not that dangerous, because the stage is very low, almost at the ground level. And the fans will definitely catch them if they fall :-)
Thank you
these ladies hold the rock god in their palm
keeeeeeep going!
Miku is beyond cute. In the MVs she seems very sexy, but in real life she is very adorable. It must be that idol training.
I think both training and inborn talent. In order to be an entertainer like this, you have to be born with that quality.
The same for guitar playing-or any other musical instrument, for that matter. There are many people who spend years learning guitar, and still that guitar in their hands looks like it's an enemy they fight with. And there are people like Kanami, where the guitar seems to be singing all by itself, when she takes it in her hands.
The same for MISA, of course. One touch of a finger, and her bass starts roaring like a motorbike when you start its engine.
In case of Akane, it looks like her drum kit is the extension of her brain-not even of her hands and feet, but literally of her brain. That rhythm seems to be borne with a speed much faster than the human limbs can move. But OK, she's only half-human, maybe that's why...

Thanks my friend! I can't leave without BAND MAID
Just like the song of Robert Palmer they are simply irresistable
Vlad! You're back in front of Misa. 😜 большое спасибо! 👍😎👍
Bravo!!!

8:50 𝗬𝗢𝗨 👍😎👍
The gem's you find when YOU go digging... MISA though, that bass sounded amazing. And the rest of the ladies were fire. Thanks for this.
Only drum&bass from that corner, sorry...
The best sound was in Hamburg.
Bochum was OK, but a little bit of reverb was present. It seems I was in the wrong sound zone. If I would be a bit further from the stage, I would probably get the perfect stereo base.
2:50 I feel your struggle, tech guy. I really do. Messed up cables are the worst.
Just noticed it :) Misa and Kanami :)
何とか8/2の赤坂でのライブの抽選に当選した。久しぶりに彼女達に会える。うれしい。
As a bassist, I wonder how the hell Misa-san does to play with a pick and slap bass at the same time? !!
She said she wants all bassists to learn that trick. She holds the pick with her index finger when switching to slap.
@@VladimirChupin After studying the video, I understand how she does it. I've tried it .... and I've tried it again .... and again. You have to get used to using the other fingers and not drop the fucking pick all the fucking time :-) ....and you have to be faast man!
@@VladimirChupin Mastered, + demonstrates the technique during one of her interviews.
That was outstanding footage and decent sound quality too, Vlad, thanks for the great upload.
MISA MISA MISA !!! 😜
It has turned into a very interesting mix, that the sound is so much preferring MISA's bass. I came to appreciate her even more. Even though "more" was probably not possible, she was always my major crush in BAND-MAID.
Although I must confess that Mincho in Hamburg has stolen my heart...
Just noticed MISA mic stand no mic but 4 pics on it all lined up. That's our little assassin
Sometimes she does have a mic. In Japan, she usually does have one. Although she does not provide any backing vocals. She uses that mic for the "opening ceremony," when she opens a beer can, so that the audience may hear the sound.
Wonderful
Damn that bassist is my dream girl.
Great vid. Finally a decent def vid from Misa's sde of the stage.
Sound is definitely not the best in this corner :-(
Sadly, Kanami-san, you are once again in the back of this video for most of it. Of all of the ladies in this group, I think that Kanami looks like she is having the most fun. Watch her as she is jamming and she just looks serene as she is tapping away or jamming out in front. In both the videos and the live shows, she really looks like she is having fun playing her heart out for us.
Some people on Reddit complained that my phone obscures their view, and therefore I decided to stay at the side as much as possible. I was not able to do in Bochum, because a security guy would not let me. In Hamburg, I was also at side, but at that concert I decided to switch to Kanami's side. And it was a good decision. I appreciated her so much more.
@@VladimirChupin No worries. It is hard to get everyone when you are in the crowd doing the filming. My main complaint is that Kanmai is minimized in the official videos when I really feel that she is the backbone of the group. Of course, your video also made me realize how awesome a guitarist that Rika is. These ladies are truly talented and I am happy that people like yourself do all this work to share their hard work with us!
@@felinious Thanks a lot! Somebody else said that it would be good to record the concerts, but it's terrible when all 100 people start doing it. There should be a few appointed filmers with good cameras, and the rest should concentrate on jumping and screaming, and encouraging the band, resting assured that the concert will have a good coverage, and recordings will be made available later.
Basically, it's a question of co-ordination. I don't know, though, how it should best be done...
4:52 CHUGGA CHUGGA goes the hard rock train
Play clang, you!

MISA!
amazing footage!!!!
