Hello everyone! Just to be clear, we did not know this song already has a verison with vocals. We meant no disrespect suggesting we make our own to this song. It was just an idea. We have our own music to work on so no worries! Thanks for checking out the video!
No need to apologize. I took it as a sign of respect! Band Maid likes to re-arrange their songs and they enjoy hearing bands covers of their material. If Offset Era makes a cover with original vocals, I'm sure that Band Maid would listen to it!
Firstly "Giovanni" is a vocal track released on their "Unseen World" album. This is a 'white room' instrumental. They have never been officially released and are often only included on Blu-Ray with the limited edition of an album or single. This "Giovanni" white room was released with the limited edition of the "Unseen World" album - with white room instrumentals of "After Life" , "No God" and "Without Holing Back" . Note that each "white room" MV comes in five versions. One MV focusing on one member and one with all four like the one you watched. The guitars are tuned to E Standard for this track.
I always refer to them as their "How-To" videos, since you can specifically watch the member / instrument of your choice all the way through. I love them. In this specific song, hearing it with and without vocals is like two entirely different songs. It's shocking (to me, a layperson)
What separates Band-Maid from all other bands, imo: strength of songwriting, proliferous creativity; quality and depth of musicianship; unique Individual style & captivating performance; palpable band synergy; expansive soundscape; and consistency of excellence. All of that requires years of long hours of hard work, laser focus, compatibility, and a shipload of talent. Piece of cake! Thx, Chris & Sam!
Work ain't sexy. But what you are seeing is a ton of work. Countless hours of practice. So thankful for the music these ladies are able to craft through their passion for the music and their affection for each other and the Masters and Princesses!
I love Miku's Aces & Eights guitar with the little skull on it =) Band-Maids 3 best instrumentals are "From Now On" MV - "Onset" Official Live and " Without Holding Back" MV ! "From Now On" is the newest off the Unleash EP ! All three are in my top five Band-Maid songs ! Thanks Guys
Thank you for reacting to BAND-MAID's songs. I've been a BAND-MAID fan for eight years at Maidiac. My favorite BAND-MAID instrumental song, It's "Without Holding Back". Please give us your reaction.
What amazed me most about this song is that the original version with vocals has a lead guitar that sounds very low in the mix, and many fans didn't know that there were these crazy guitar riffs underneath the vocals. This little sweet composer/lead guitarist has a gift. An extraordinary talent. Next song? well, how about "H-G-K" or "Corallium"? Thanks for your reaction!
The song Giovanni, with vocals, is from Unseen World (same album as Manners and Black Hole). It's become a favourite of mine but it took a while for me to make sense of it, so it's good that you listened to the instrumental version first: the fewer layers make it more comprehensible. By the way, I've been listening to your new music. Offset Era have really levelled up lately - lots of diversity!
They sound like one of my favorite bands The OFFSPRING. I love their new song. I'd like to see Off Set Era live one day. That'd be a fun show to mosh to.
These girls are always surprising. After being a 3+year fan, just last night I was listening to "No God" instrumental and found a tiny guitar swipe in two choruses I never heard before that absolutely made made that section, not unlike the tiny, only once, spiral ascending guitar part in "Manners" second verse right before the chorus, I recently found that no one ever talks about. These two parts sneak right past all the reactors, Kanami is amazing.
It's so true. I was just listening to the Genshin Concert 2022 again (I hadn't listened to it for awhile); the third verse starts at 6:15 or thereabouts, and there at 6:18 just before Kanami starts the melody is this weird two note transition. It's not hidden or anything, but I'd never noticed it. Then I started hearing stuff from Miku I'd never noticed. She starts with some chords to lead into the verse but after that her volume is turned way down. But if you listen there's these little transition notes between her power chords. Sooo tasty!
Thanks for this reaction! I needed other trained ears to help me with this track. The first time I heard it, I was lost. After listening a few more times and watching you guys, I’m starting to make sense of it. It’s still beyond me, but I’m not giving up. I remember listening to some Rush tracks as a kid and feeling the same way. Later on, Tool delivered wacky stuff it took time to lock in with. It might never grow on me, but Band-Maid are an important enough group to make the effort
There exists a full album of the "Unseen World" album that is all instrumental. It came with the copy of the score that they beautifully published. Kanami worked very hard on that. (I have a copy).
What's incredible is that the 'Giovanni' track on the 'Unseen World' CD has equally incredible vocals throughout the song: Saiki and Miku outdid themselves.
5:49 it's a third guitar track indeed. mincho-zilla regularly beefs up this part in their material. this is one of the few songs where it is a bit upfront in the mix. on their manic ballad 'i can't live without you', there's even a third chorus-rich layer added to the song, and somewhere in the middle part of the song a quasi-whammy dive bomb spices up the transition.
The vocal version of this is one of my favorites from the Unseen World album. This along with Manners, Black Hole, No God and I Still Seek Revenge are the ones i enjoy the most!
You may not have known, the White Room series are basically Tutorials. There are 4 other videos for each song, one for e each instrument. That way you could focus on just one instrument and learn that entire part. Then go back to this video and see how it fits within the context of the whole song. Whenever there's an additional instrument, it's played by Kanami in the backing tracks, unless it's a vocal double.
Yeah, certain people will upload videos specifically for reactors to react to, the main video usually is only up for a short time, before being removed, many times by the original uploader, other times by the record company. It all depends on the track and if it has ever been publicly released before. MISA will decide how she plays based on how hard she wants the tone to be. When picked, the bass strings have a "THUNK" to them vs when they are slapped or plucked. And I can't remember who said it, but Akane's double bass was referred to her doing a thrash metal kick drum part in a pop-rock song. And as others have probably mentioned this is an instrumental version of a song with a vocal track, but if you hear it without the vocals you can actually hear all the intricacies hidden behind Saiki and Miku's vocals.
The instrumental version is also on the CD that comes with the scorebook. Almost the entire Unseen World is in instrumental version(youth the track on the limited edition is the missing version). This video is also off the same limited edition CD version as well. Kanami often has a harmony line in the back track. Making it very relistenable over and over.
There is also an instrumental version of YOLO (one of my favorite songs) that stands on its own because you can hear how much is going on with the guitars. Perhaps you can do a side-by-side reaction to the original MV and the instrumental (available as streaming audio).
This song is not "out there" because it was never released as a single/video. As others have noted this is from the Unseen World album and these white room versions are bonuses available with the deluxe versions of several of their albums.
Giovanni is an song wit lyrics they just occasionally turn one of their songs into an instrumental. They also have official instrimentals like Onset or Without Holding Back, this one Miku and Kanami Played with Herman Li on his youtube where he was "auditioning" to be a maid, he even wore the maid costume. The three played with him adding his dragonforce flare to it. The song Play was an instrumental they turned into a song with lyrics. The instrumentals are for giving saiki a break from the vocals because they typically to 22+ songs in a concert. They also have an audience participation time with Miku after the instrumental and then end it with a Miku lead song. Onset live is an experience.
There's a collection of these white room instrumentals - I have Domination, Dice, Without Holding Back, Onset, No God, After Life, Giovanni. They came as bonuses with various Band-Maid merch. Miku's often under-rated parts get to shine, especially on the Without Holding Back and Onset pieces.
I saved a list from looking it up for an other channels, so I can just plop it here: The Conqueror limited edition DVD/Blu-ray editions (white room) came with: - Domination (Instrumental Video) - Dice (Instrumental Video) - Onset (Instrumental Video, originally an instrumental) Unseen World limited edition DVD/Blu-ray editions (white room): - After Life (Instrumental Video) - No God (Instrumental Video) - Giovanni (Instrumental Video) - Without Holding Back (Instrumental Video, originally an instrumental) Unleash limited edition DVD/Blu-ray editions (white room): - Unleash!!!!! (Instrumental Music Video) - Sense (Instrumental Music Video) - From Now On (MV - black room, originally an instrumental) And as far as audio instrumental versions goes (so no videos): - The Yolo EP/single came with an instrumental version of Yolo - The official scorebook of Unseen World came with a full instrumental CD of the standard edition of Unseen World All of them have multiple video angels as far as I know, I am not sure about the From Now MV Video and I can't check now.
Okay guys, so next you need to do the version of this song with vocals. Recommend the studio audio track to really hear all the parts the best but the live stream one is good too.
Great reaction! Check out the original song with vocals, I think the harmonies in the solo section are pretty cool, it's some "ooh ooh ooh" that goes so well with that part.
Go for it with a vocal addition of your own. Then compare it with their vocal version. There is a growing amount of Band Maid covers done by their fans. The most unique are done by a classical cellist, just using his cello. From his comments, and the results, Kanami's music is classically structured.
I love seeing musicians react to Giovanni cause you can see real appreciation for what this song brings to the table 🔥 however, this is an instrumental version. The original has lyrics and they are on par with the amazing instrumentation. I hope you'll give that a listen as well ✨ Rock on, Po! 😎🤘🏻🕊️💜
This song is originally not an instrumental, although it's that flawless. It's one of their "white room" instrumental versions that you get on a bonus DVD/Bluray when you buy the limited editions of their albums. As you can imagine, they are normally not meant to be free, because people pay a lot of money to get the limited editions. But well, of course, they do pop up from time to time on YT and elsewhere.
We should all give thanks that Band Maid as a whole is easy going about copyright issues. I have no doubt that policy has helped fuel their fan base growth.
These "white room" instrumentals are not altered in any way to make up for the lack of vocals. That is what the song sounds like without them. They come on bonus DVDs with their albums, which is why they don't get "officially" released as music videos. Only "From Now On" has gotten an official music video. Their white room instrumentals are "Onset" and "Without Holding Back" which were written as instrumentals. Then you have "Dice", "Domination", Afterlife", "Giovanni", "No God", "Sense", and "Unleash". "Don't Be Long" was written as an instrumental but never got a white room video for some reason. "Yolo" may have been their first song t o have the vocals removed, but that instrumental version only got released as a b-side to their "Yolo" single I think. They also released an entirely instrumental version of the album "Unseen World", which came on a bonus CD with the musical score book. You can still get it, but only directly from Japan. Phew... I'm done. I think my comment is accurate, though I'm sure I'll get corrected by someone if it's not. 😀
I put my list under Tony Griffin's comment. I looked that one up a while ago for an other channel and saved it, but I missed your comment. I don't think you have a missing one (or I have a missing track as well). It's basically the same list as mine, just formatted differently :). The main thing is, these are bonus tracks that come with their limited editions mainly.
The vocals for this are really good. But this instrumental version puts the guitars forward in the mix and makes it almost a different song. For a pure instrumental., check out From Now On.
The special release of the 'Unseen World' album with vocals removed was absolute gold...allowing us to better hear the complex goings-on underneath. I regularly listen to 'Unheard World' as I call it. Maidiac collectors: These white room videos (5 for each song, includes individual Maid views) with the limited Unseen World and Conqueror albums are a must-have. Here's the official audio with vocal on their channel... ruclips.net/video/0JZkjDhxohM/видео.html
Not surprised that the site didn’t have many subs. It’s a pirated rip from the Blue Ray included with a special limited release of Unseen World. Weird to hear it without vocals but still pretty cool.
As others have mentioned, this is just the instrumental version. It stands out from the vocals version because Saiki and Miku's vocals are very forward in the mix and the madness is easy to miss, since the vocals are also bananas. There is a live vocal version in existence on YT, if you want to look at that on your own time.
I'm always looking forward to your BAND-MAID reactions. The song is non-instrumental and has a vocal track. Perhaps you finally realize the need for vocalist Saiki in this song. And again I marvel at this being done behind the vocal track. Furthermore, I find that every song of BAND-MAID is like that.
Miku, for the most part learned to play using drop D to get up to speed quicker and be performing basic rhythms so Kanami could do other things (also how I learned to play originally). Her parts were written to accommodate until she got up to speed and now plays normal tuning, but continues playing the older stuff in drop D. I think the Aces and Eights (LP style) guitar is drop D and the Flappy Pigeon (also LP) is normal tuning. I noticed she also plays the "V" in drop D as well. I could be wrong about that, but if so, I'm sure someone will correct it....
As many have said this one has vocals on it and either version is great. The only problem with the vocal track is Saiki's powerful voice does drown out Kanami during the chrous where both Saiki and Kanami are going fast. I think the whole album of Unseen World can be played instrumental tracks. The only official instrumental track without vocals from Unseen World is Wittout Holding Back
I'd love to see a reaction to one of their acoustic performances, particularly "Forward" which can be found here ruclips.net/video/YQwmCHGTxco/видео.html It's a very simple track but special track, using only Miku, Saiki and Akane (on bongos/chimes). It sounds like a completely different band (in a good way). I think it really highlights just how well Miku can harmonize with Saiki and of course Akane is amazing as always.
When I first heard this track off the Unseen World album it was my least favourite, a bit too proggy for me. But once I heard this version without the vocals it blew me away. Now I love the full version with Saiki's vocals. Check it out !
Misa usually uses the pick quite a lot but slaps while holding the pick. This is one of their more "progressive" tunes, almost reminiscent of King Crimson in parts. They are more multi dimensional than the other Japanese girl bands or any other at this time.
I like when they do an instrumental version of songs, as sometimes the 'normal' version is a bit overcrowded with vocals and you loose nuance and don't let instruments breathe :)
This is NOT an instrumental. You just got a video without the 2 song tracks. This is just what B-M does in the background to back up the singers. Make sure you do not listen to that before you write your own song track. It would be very interesting to compare.
“…especially now there are no vocals they really have to fill it up…” 😂 oh if you only knew. Yeah you now have to hear the song with vocals. It’s a shame you heard this first because it’s fun to watch reactors try and figure out what’s happening musically during the album version with vocals.
Hello everyone! Just to be clear, we did not know this song already has a verison with vocals. We meant no disrespect suggesting we make our own to this song. It was just an idea. We have our own music to work on so no worries! Thanks for checking out the video!
pin this :)
The channel this was on will probably eventually get taken down.
The vocals are almost too much to take in with this track. "I still seek revenge" if you want MISA unleashed.
No need to apologize. I took it as a sign of respect! Band Maid likes to re-arrange their songs and they enjoy hearing bands covers of their material. If Offset Era makes a cover with original vocals, I'm sure that Band Maid would listen to it!
The fact that you thought it was meant to be an instrumental is a compliment to how good the music is behind the vocals.
Firstly "Giovanni" is a vocal track released on their "Unseen World" album.
This is a 'white room' instrumental. They have never been officially released and are often only included on Blu-Ray with the limited edition of an album or single. This "Giovanni" white room was released with the limited edition of the "Unseen World" album - with white room instrumentals of "After Life" , "No God" and "Without Holing Back" .

Hi Tom!
I'm not surprised that you promote the best band in the world - what "world", the universe(!). :D
@@tibornogradi3432 LOL If by promote you mean love, then I guess I do. And that includes all parallel universes, too... probably! 🤘😂
@@TomClark-Futoura Yes Yes Yes. I thought of love, the love of the genius Band Maid.
Yes. For the orchestra of the Universe... :D
Every Band Maid song can be an amazing instrumental.
Yup, they're crazy talented female band in the world.
Work ain't sexy. But what you are seeing is a ton of work. Countless hours of practice. So thankful for the music these ladies are able to craft through their passion for the music and their affection for each other and the Masters and Princesses!

One of the best song and instrumental of their discography for me
It never pays to assume anything when it comes to the awesomeness that is the Bass playing Barefoot Assassin, MISA. Thank you for the reaction. 🔥🖤
These girls are always surprising. After being a 3+year fan, just last night I was listening to "No God" instrumental and found a tiny guitar swipe in two choruses I never heard before that absolutely made made that section, not unlike the tiny, only once, spiral ascending guitar part in "Manners" second verse right before the chorus, I recently found that no one ever talks about.

I like the analysis by both of you.
I'm not a musician, but I often like just one note in some B-M songs.

I'm no bassist but had assumed she picks that part to get more of a definitive attack. That's absolutely necessary for this song.
I could watch that all day long! Thanks guys!

Actually there is an official release of this and every other track off of Unseen World. The release is called the Instrumental score.
MISA MISA MISA!!!!!
They often use backing tracks of various forms ... just like pretty much every other popular band.
The album this is from, Unseen World, is the best thing to happen during the pandemic.
Excellent reaction to Hunter!

I'm always looking forward to your BAND-MAID reactions.
The song is non-instrumental and has a vocal track.
Perhaps you finally realize the need for vocalist Saiki in this song.
And again I marvel at this being done behind the vocal track.
Furthermore, I find that every song of BAND-MAID is like that.
Guys, guys, guys...!
Hey!
This thing reminds me of the best days of Jimmy Hendriks...
Charm? Isn't that...
Thank you everyone.
When do you react to the brilliant "Onset"? Month?
Miku, for the most part learned to play using drop D to get up to speed quicker and be performing basic rhythms so Kanami could do other things (also how I learned to play originally). Her parts were written to accommodate until she got up to speed and now plays normal tuning, but continues playing the older stuff in drop D. I think the Aces and Eights (LP style) guitar is drop D and the Flappy Pigeon (also LP) is normal tuning. I noticed she also plays the "V" in drop D as well. I could be wrong about that, but if so, I'm sure someone will correct it....
As many have said this one has vocals on it and either version is great. The only problem with the vocal track is Saiki's powerful voice does drown out Kanami during the chrous where both Saiki and Kanami are going fast. I think the whole album of Unseen World can be played instrumental tracks. The only official instrumental track without vocals from Unseen World is Wittout Holding Back
Forgot to say people say Kanami is soloing throughout the whole song
I need a cigarette
I am kinda interested in your version of Giovanni and how different it would turn out to be from the original version. 😊
I'd love to see a reaction to one of their acoustic performances, particularly "Forward" which can be found here ruclips.net/video/YQwmCHGTxco/видео.html
It's a very simple track but special track, using only Miku, Saiki and Akane (on bongos/chimes). It sounds like a completely different band (in a good way). I think it really highlights just how well Miku can harmonize with Saiki and of course Akane is amazing as always.
Yes, Miku is the rhythm bass and guitar player, Po! I think Akane (drums) wears Onitsuka Tigers Mexico 66 slip-ons, so generally a flat tennis shoe.🦍🍌
When I first heard this track off the Unseen World album it was my least favourite, a bit too proggy for me. But once I heard this version without the vocals it blew me away. Now I love the full version with Saiki's vocals. Check it out !
This song should be instrumental, but Miku's write the lyrics for this song and it both so awesome.....
Misa usually uses the pick quite a lot but slaps while holding the pick. This is one of their more "progressive" tunes, almost reminiscent of King Crimson in parts. They are more multi dimensional than the other Japanese girl bands or any other at this time.
Okay one more thing - even though they already have vocals, I'm sure they'd encourage you to come up with some of your own. Just do it, man!
I like when they do an instrumental version of songs, as sometimes the 'normal' version is a bit overcrowded with vocals and you loose nuance and don't let instruments breathe :)
Yes, there is a third guitar. It annoyed me so much the first time I heard it. I like to see how they play and there are notes no one plays.
2:52 start reaction
This is NOT an instrumental. You just got a video without the 2 song tracks. This is just what B-M does in the background to back up the singers. Make sure you do not listen to that before you write your own song track. It would be very interesting to compare.
I would like to see them do that
“…especially now there are no vocals they really have to fill it up…” 😂 oh if you only knew. Yeah you now have to hear the song with vocals.
It’s a shame you heard this first because it’s fun to watch reactors try and figure out what’s happening musically during the album version with vocals.
please react one ok rock!
this vocalist is the best in the world.
Kanami is crazy…
That's not an instrumental though. Haha I wanna see it.
It's not a true instrumental. It's Giovanni sans-vocals. The vocals are just as weird as the rest of it.
Always a great react from you guys!❤ Bandmaid for life!🤩💯👍🤘🤘💥
