Thank you for watching my video reaction to BAND MAID preforming & getting interviewed on a JP show. I learned a little bit more from them and I hope you have too.
Po is short for the Pigeon sound of Cruppo in Japan. Here in the US, we would make that sound a "Coo." Another example, a dog would say "ruff' (US) and Won, Won (Japan). Therefore, Miku is always in Pigeon character and never misses closing her sentences with "Po!" or "Cruppo" Po!Po! Kanami totally mesmerized by the American guys talking, Po! 🦍🍌
They have always been very good at these sort of interviews. Miku is always the lead and spokeswoman. Saiki has become more confident and seems to enjoy them more too. The aim at performing and relating to overseas audiences while not ignoring their home fans must be hard. They are not huge in Japan where really they should be. But more and more fans from overseas are joining the Maidiac fandom. After ten years let's all hope that they keep on enjoying what they do. They remain one if not the very band around.
They shortened "Choose Me" by a verse. I think "Memorable" is shortened, too. Must have been for the constraints of the tv show. The Maids kicking butt as per usual! 🤘🤘💕💕 Kuruppo is how the Japanese make the pigeon sound. Kobato means little pigeon. Miku says Po! at the end of nearly every sentence in interviews as a play on her name (like many Japanese women say "Nyan! Nyan!" for "Meow! Meow!"). So Miku is our 810 year old little, flappy pigeon (hence the name Flappy Pigeon for her signature Zemaitis guitar)!
They will be about 20 miles away from me at Daytona speedway part of a rock fest. But even in May it is going to be hot and humid! And I think Atlanta after that.
OMG!!!! Miku's smile at 1:40 is so lovely Po!!!! Miku is such a wonderful spokesperson for the group. Saiki, Kanami, Akane, and especially Misa, are quiet and so polite. My love and respect for this group of incredible ladies grows everyday. There are differences in opinion within the commentators about the the meaning of Miku's use of 'Po'. Her family name, Kubato, means little pigeon. In most interviews she will end each sentence with -Po. Regardless, Miku's response at 4:38 is hilarious! I don't speak Japanese, but her fellow musicians appear to tolerate Miku's use of the term with a degree of embarrassment. Love these incredible MAIDS. Thank you for the post! This one gets saved.
Hey MVJ, I hope you are having a great night. The Maids are currently on tour in Japan, but will be here in May for some dates that have been announced and possibly will be back in August for more dates that haven't been announced yet.
If Miku ever came to the Philippines. She would be the most respectful pigeon ever. Even kids get a Po (ぽ). She'd fit in quite well. If they play there, I'm flying over for sure. That would be an amazing show. ぽ
Very nice - a much more melodic song - so different from their normal heavy approach - so good to see their growth and willingness to change things up - as always they impress - as a Westerner , I'm curious about their personal lives ... but I'm sure they wish to remain so Japanese and so private ...
Bang! went the pistol Crash! Went the window Ouch! Went the son of a gun Onomatopoeia I don't want to see ya Speaking in a foreign tongue. "OnomatoPOeia" -John Prine 1973
Correct. In Tagalog (Filipino language), "po" is like "desu" in Japanese. We add it in almost every sentence, whether at the end or in the middle when speaking to someone with respect - elderly, stranger, or those of higher status.
"Thrill" got 2 million view in 2 weeks on Facebook. That caused their agency to change plans, as the agency plan was to keep Miku and Saiki as Dance Maid without Kanami, Akane and MISA. Also they performed in Mexico after(?) Seattle.
The ending "po" is absolutely unusual and that's why the interviewees are so irritated. It imitates the sound of a pigeon, which is certainly peculiar. It's just a quirk of Miku's and the other band members (especially Saiki) are partially embarrassed by it. But they have gotten used to it over the years.
every time i watch band maid i come away with 2 words
THEY ROCK
Such a talented group. They are producing some of the most complex music today and their concerts are legendary.
♥ these girls! Can't wait to see them again this May!
In May. IN MAY! Haven't you been spoiled enough already? London is calling.😫
LADIES !

In London dogs just come up to you with a knife & say "Give us your money".😂
@@GaryHolloway-810 Same here in LA, Po! 🐶
@@JK-tz6kk Haha. Yep pigeons also do a similar thing but they rob you of your food instead. 🤷♂️

I love Saiki's deep voice

Be in the US in May! You live anywhere in the SE you have no excuses for not seeing them!

we all respect the pigeon

"Po" is the sound a pigeon makes.
NHK World's, Songs of Tokyo...sadly, the final episode. Chris Peppler is a fellow bassist and the announcer for this segment.

Miku is Band-Maid's SpokesPigeon, Po! I hope that clears up any confusion, MVJ. 🕊

I heard Po was to emulate an animé character who is a cat who says meow after every sentence. Instead of meow, a pigeon says po.
In the band she's referred to as the small pigeon, and the sound they make is po
Bang! went the pistol
Crash! Went the window
Ouch! Went the son of a gun

Hato Poppo is a Japanese nursery song like ABC :)

Check Miku solo project Album CLUPPO songs Piece And Love..
Filipinos people speak always with "PO" at the end...
She say's Po because that's the sound a pigeon makes, and Miku Kobato is the Little Pigeon.
Sounds like Paramore to me
*Miku Kobato* and *Kobato* means small pigeon so *Miku* says (Kuruppo) or (Po!) for short.
Lol. No, "PO" is not a sign of respect in Japan. As far as I know, no one else, except Miku and her fans, uses "PO" in Japan😏
This last song was done during the covid lockdown when they couldn't tour and was made to convey how they were missing their fans.
