From what I understand, "Play" was originally going to be an instrumental piece. However, Saiki, the singer, loved it and asked Miku to write lyrics for it.
It was a instrumental used to play in concerts to give Saiki a break. She liked it so much she asked Miku to write lyrics for it, and the rest is history.
Play was originally an instrumental but lyrics were added later on. That could be the reason you didn't "feel" it.
General Saiki : MISA flank David to your left, he won't know you're coming. Let him see just how far you can pull your hand back when you slap".😆
thats why shes an assassin in that bass...band maid never get you bored they have it you heavy they have yoy want to chill they have that kind of songs, it gives energy you pump out and jam
Miku finally gets a chance to strut her stuff in front of her senpai/sensei, Kanami.
The Bass Player MISA plays with a pick and slaps in the same song and changes from one to the other very quickly!
From a radio interview - - (Chris): What amazed me most about your play style is the changing of picking to slapping, and then picking again so smoothly. Some bassists may throw their picks away to slap, but you use the same pick when you change from slapping to picking again, right?
(Misa): No, I don't throw my pick away. I have become better as I practiced. For the recent 2-3 years, I haven't lost any pick.
(Chris): Show me how.
(Misa): I keep the pick with my index finger and palm.
(Chris): Then you slap the bass with your thumb and middle finger? Can you show me how you play? (then Misa shows how)
(Misa): Because I've been practicing these days, I can change faster than ever.
(Chris): You are mixing them up! That's awesome!
(Misa): I think anybody can do it if you practice.

Another great, HONEST reaction, good on ya David! I was watching some of their concert videos that are captured from the fans and was struck by how, when ever Akane is going to solo, the other ladies will drop and kneel on the stage, helping to direct the audience's full attention to what Akane is doing on the drums, that's something I've never seen before. it might be something to look out for in future videos as it seems this sails under other ,ahem "reactor's" radar. Yours's are reactions I compare others to.
FEELIN' YOU Carl!!!
Just for fun. No need to put this on your reaction list. An unedited live clip of Miku's kruppo "cluppo" crowd response chant followed by "Play". The girls dig into this one a bit harder. ruclips.net/video/-pxubi6c4gg/видео.html
I think your analysis is correct.
As other people have already commented, this song was originally made as an instrumental one, but Saiki wanted to make it as a crowd participation song. So she asked Miku to write lyrics for it.
Some people don't like about crowd's "la, la, la" part, but obviously the crowd at the Okyuji love it 😁😜😁 (P_O)🕊❣
Misa is definitely one of the best bassists in the world right now, and probably will go down as one of the best ever. She actually used to be a session bassist before she was in Band-Maid. After three mini albums, she actually left the band for a few months to take lessons, even though she'd already been playing and recording for at least ten years already. She also refused to settle on the "Domination" album until the bass was absolutely perfect, Miku said Misa recorded the final bass tracks with gauze on her fingers because she'd run through the songs so many times, and that the FIRST TAKES were fine, but Misa wanted them PERFECT to herself.
Being honest to your reactions what makes me sub to you. Thanks man ❤️
FEELIN' YOU Ken!!!
As a huge fan of this band i totally agree with you David. This song was great when i first started listening to them, it did a great job drawing me in to the band, but since then i have listened to most of their catalog and so many songs have surpassed this one for me. These girls write amazing music but this one is not one of their stronger songs if im honest.
Either way 8.6 is a great score, no complaints here! As always If you need any Band Maid (or Lovebites) live video and you cant find it, let me know!
Thanks David, stay safe!
Play is one of those Band Maid songs that has a different feel live than on album. In concert it’s a crowd favorite, but on the album it’s a groove song.
as people said this was originally an instumental.. it has evolved into basicly a crowd participation song .being there in the crowd with everyone singing a goood portion of the song hypes up the crowd so much. i agree its probly an 8.6 to listen to but being in that crowd probably closer to a 9.6
this used to be their instrumental and then Miku decided to add some words to it and make it a song so at concerts they normally play Onset their new instrumental and then this song right after which is amazing
I'd like to see you react to their song 'Real Existance' Live at Zepp Tokyo - ruclips.net/video/-qQnKILR5u0/видео.html
Right. That's the one
Added to the que
@@THEDavidHeretic 👍Great mix, different concert. A hard but complex song. With the live performance of "Real Existence" they demonstrate how good they are really as a band on stage. You will be surprised 😁
Thanks always for your honest reaction. I actuality can relate to what you said to some extent.
Many of my favorite band-maid songs weren't my favorite on first listen. There are bunch of songs I call 'ultimate growers'.
With most other bands, if I don't like the sound of the song into half way through, I will never like the song. With band-maid songs, I always listen to the end (with proper headphones) and always find something interesting, transitions, riffs, cool bridges, drum rolls or extra bluesiness or funkiness... whatever they adopt somewhere in the song win me over most of the time.
Most of their songs have the secret ingredients, leaving this nice aftertaste...irresistible aftertaste, for fans.
this is like Band-Maid's anthem song 🤩
On their first overseas tour they were amazed at how many audiences sang along with them sometimes in Japanese. Saiki has the gift to engage audiences and control things as you point out and I think they are happy to include a certain amount of sing a longs in any concert.
Entertaining, Honest and always interesting...thanks David. congrats on 5k subs...onwards and upwards my man 👍
FEELIN' YOU Paul!!!
Eventually, the Maids are gonna get ya on 95% of their songs, David! 😝 BTW - if you ever get a chance to see the ZEPP concert version of "Play", the one that was for some crazy reason taken down, check it out. it was 🔥, literally! Also, the view count is totally misleading as many views, millions in some cases, have disappeared with the takedowns and are also spread out over many YT sources and channels, etc.
They took the Zepp version down because they wanted the Shibuya version to replace it as the official version. Other than the pyrotechnics, this version has everything the Zepp version had and more. But I will admit that the audio was better mixed on the Zepp version.
@@tombworld9012 MISA's intro bass solo on that version is one of her best. Kanami and Miku's vocals are way better mixed and I also preferred the overall ambience and stage setup, too. Just playing each back to back tells the story. BTW - I was just over at bilibili and someone posted an awesome 3 part medley that's so punchy it makes you wonder what B-M's audio tech's were thinking in all their post Zepp releases. Thx, Tombworld!
My favourite song when I’m driving in the hwy 😆
If someone can get David the videos from their Zepp show of "Take Me Higher" and "Don't You Tell Me" so he can react to those two so he can check out MISA's bass slapping technique even more and to hear a call and response between her on bass and Kanami on guitar.
Never heard the term Noodle fest. I think you're right though. This started out as an instrumental only, "Look at what I can play" song to showcase talent. It went through a number of different iterations. Miku came up lyrics to make it a crowd response song. Saiki leads the crowd, and Miku's responses are designed to get the crowd to sing along. They played it at concerts for quite a while before finally putting it on an album. There are earlier versions of this with Misa getting into the slapping much more than this. I think they ran into some issues with her messing up her thumb on this a time or two, so they had to cut back on that. Misa's discipline on the slapping technique might have been won the hard way.
Don't think Misa had any problem with the slapping, she used to slapp harder on other songs even before this song and the change of the song is mainly about the intro which they changed in every tour they did
I don't think the fans worry about Saiki or any band member turning their back on them...Becuase when they are..it's because they are interacting with each other..and the fans love it!.....It's one of the things that make them so popular with their fans...the girls really have a friendship and comradery and it shows....Alot of band may be good musisians, but have no personality on stage...and play to get off the stage..where the Maids play to be ON stage....Long May They Reign.
The next song in line at this concert is Domination, number 21 of 23! Honest reaction and you can't be disappointed with that.
It looks like they go straight into Domination after this. Whew! 3rd last song of a 2 hours set . You cant deny the energy of this band. This is a great jam song written to incorporate the audience and it WORKS : )
Man I feel so old, wth is this?? Great stuff!
HAHA... stage general??? You poor, poor, fool.
She's the STAGE QUEEN! :)
9:16 You are literally the only one who cares how long her back is turned. Don't be such a fuddy-duddy. =)
Checked out all your Band Maid videos and quite a few others. Sweet! You do what you do well. Now for my 2 cents. Band Maid is the best rock and roll band in the world today! Po!
But after a certain point it comes down to taste. They're as good at what they do as anyone ever was. For all the reasons you said. Solid songs. Great execution. Incredible shtick! And no one looks happier doing it. Plus their cuter than a bucket of kittens. By design. Not only do the boys like them. The girls do because they're so kawai(cute). And they have musical Super powers. They're real life anime. Like your channel. I'm requesting "Dice" Official video. Rock and Roll!🤘

@@THEDavidHeretic groovy🤘😎
So there i was just travelling back thru time & i thought i can't leave without giving Doobie a like.🙂👍
@@GaryHolloway-810 Wow! That was actually pretty good! Apparently I wasn't completely shit faced! Keep looking Gary. There is stuff out there that make me look like a complete idiot! I totally forgot about this post. Must say I'm quite impressed with myself! I'll own it when you find the one that makes me look like an ass! Thanks Gary! 😎😎😎😎
@@GaryHolloway-810 damn. a lot of these!!!!!!!! In that post. sorry for yelling brother.
David praising Misa?
Yes.
MISA MISA MISA!
Probably what is nor grabbing you is the same as other fans and that includes some of the band members.... and that's the "La la la " part.
I always enjoy your reaction
So I guess you and the others do not like Iron Maiden's The Trooper then. I mean, the chorus goes Ohhhhh ohhhh ohhhh.
@@spupydo not the same, the nanana lalala part in this song seem out of place. I also prefer oh oh oh rather than lalala nanana. For exemple I have no problem with the "oh oh oh" in Alone or Endless stroy from Band maid
Rather late with my comment but glad you enjoyed it despite your 'noodle fest' feelings. It easy to forget that you do not know Band Maid, as well as many of the people making the comments. To see Band Maid live playing this song, I bet you would be shouting and moving as much as people half your age. 😀
Misa is a classically trained cellist, and Kanami is a classically trained violinist.
David, like your analysis. Yes, entertaining. Not easy to do. Try the MV Warning! next.

@@THEDavidHeretic i'll be on the lookout. and keep the mel brooks schtick forever. it's good to be king.
@@jkkansasband7056 "Let's end this meeting, on a high note...."
Saiki..."the hostess with the mostess"..
Fair reaction. Up vote. This song was originally written as an instrumental so maybe that is why you got "noodle fest" vibes. A top 10 Band Maid song for me because I love the noodling and call and response. I always like your BM honest reactions. For something catchier try Blooming, Dice, Choose Me.
Love your technical breakdown of bass technique
I've seen others having the same problem.
Not many, but mainly because it's kind of "cringy" with the "nanana" part.
Though: it was the first song that i heard with them, but then the "zepp" version where it starts with the popping of MISAs bass!
Misa is a great bassplayer, I like her style. I played a few years bassguitar when I was younger in a few local metalbands. Band-Maid have a unique style, a mix of hard rock, punk and J-pop. They have also very different songs from have to poppy, and of course every band has their good en less good songs. Band-Maid just never dissapoint me because their not only great musicians but also great songwriters. Try Warning (ruclips.net/video/9yD3IqrLtPk/видео.html) or After Life (ruclips.net/video/2MOvCkCqz_U/видео.html) wich are their latest songs and heavier ones.

Could you react to Nemophila - Dissension? Thanks!

Not my favorite song of them but it has some good energy, I think it is fun experiencing it live
I have 3 favorite bands. *The Warning, Band-Maid, and Nightwish* so I wonder if you'd be interested in a Nightwish reaction?
A good start could be their song *Storytime* ( _unless you've seen this already_ ). ruclips.net/video/q9eKLPCciWw/видео.html
Not familiar with Nightwish really....I've heard two songs by them: "I Wish I Had An Angel" and their cover of "Phantom Of The Opera". Already in the que, added your name to the requesters.
@@THEDavidHeretic As you can see my link has a timestamp attached to it and that is because the link goes to a full concert performed in Wacken, Germany in 2013 when they just had changed their singer. That video really is superior to must cut-out copies out there regarding video and sound quality.
Any recording that was done before 2013 will not have Floor Jansen performing and then it will be up to your taste if you like it or not. Personally, I can't stand their first singer Tarja while others adore her. Their second singer Anette made no impact on me while their present singer Floor is like a god to me. 😄
Just like The Warning, Nightwish is really a band you should watch live and I know that you will enjoy the crowd in my video and there is a guy with a hat in the middle of the song that *REALLY* stands out. 😂 Another similarity is the fan base. The Nightwish army is huge and just as in The Warning army there are some bad apples that can get overly protective. Still, this band is so great it will be worth any bad comments, and imagine being their bass player ( _who looks a little like you_ ) and perform in front of those +82 000 in the crowd. 🤘😎🤘
OK, how many BM Fans want BM to do a cover of Kick Out The Jams by MC5? I do!
She dosent say much but deadly on bass.
8.6! You're being...kind. It's kind of a crowd warm-up ditty...fun, but not much to it, musically. A 7.3 from me. And I love this band! That's good for +0.3 every time...
It's just MISA MISA MISA
Nice reaction.
You have now seen many great bands from japan but not Babymetal. I guess you wrote off Babymetal either because of the name, their gimiky appearance or because of the song "gimmi chokolate". Maybe you haven't heard of babymetal. Since i have seen you as a person with a strong understanding of music i hope you react to the song "rondo of nightmare (with mischiefs of god intro) and give your opinion.
If you, for whatever reason, do not want to react to babymetal, i still recommend the band "Nemophila" with the song "Dissension". By the way, the Maidiacs should also agree with this;)
Keep it up!
I have 9 requests for Babymetal in the que currently.....just haven't gotten to them yet. Rondo Of Nightmare is already in the que, added your name to the requesters.
I really thought the singer had a great voice. Not exactly my kind of music, but really, I've heard worse. I know I would not go out and "shop" for their music, but if they came to town with a live show, I'd be going! They were exciting. I would even buy some merch at the show. Not what I would listen to everyday, but darn sure would love to party with them at least once.
George...they are a phenomenal live band. Check out their live videos of Freedom, Domination, Real Existence and Onset from their official channel. They are high energy and a lot of fun.
"Is it necessary? No." But they did it anyway. That sums up Band-Maid for me. Every single song has several moments, little musical flourishes or ideas that really weren't necessary - the song was already good! - but they did it anyway. They don't hold back riffs or ideas for other songs, they try to make every song the best it can be. Another react channel (Chase Carneson) call their songwriting brave for that reason and I am inclined to agree.
Anyway, great reaction, great explanation. I dunno if you've done anything off the new album? If not, try Warning!

The song is not for YOU. It is for the crowd. Written for crowd participation. Certain songs Kanami writes thinking of large crowds.
Not really Kanami doing this, It's Miku who does the lyrics. Kanami's composition and instrumental is fine.
I understand It's better experiencing it live, and that they do simple lyrics for crowd participation so that foreign fans Can easily repeat Them so It's okay, even though I would've prefered them not having the nanana
@@jonasw3945 Bless your heart!
@@jonasw3945 Yeah the instrumental section is great. Just that nanana lala part breaks the flow a bit too much. The crowd interaction is nice to see though.
There are some bands that release an instrumental version for all of their songs. BM should probably do that too as their instrumentals are always great.
Infact with UW I liked the instrumentals much more than the ver with vocals.
So time to expand your knowledge of the Japanese rock/ metal scene with yet another band?
It's also another sub genre than all the other band's you covered so far.
Versailles - Masquerade ( m.ruclips.net/video/niAl_paNrh0/видео.html ).
Already in the que, you requested it.
@@THEDavidHeretic Yes, just thought it could not hurt with a reminder :)
I know all reactors get a lot of requests so when I really like a channels take on reactions I usually add a reminder after some time.
@@Zandman26 No worries, just so you know it's currently sitting at #998. It will take a while but I promise you I will get to it.
Songs/performances like this are why people pay to go to concerts.
Noodle fest! Haha, fair score for a fun but repetitive song that’s probably better enjoyed in the crowd. I don’t know if you just do heavy songs, but if not Wonderland live might be your next Band-Maid song ;) melodic, clever arrangement.
I'll react to anything.....hell I've reacted to Beyonce and Bilie Eilish, that should say something....LOL
