You would not believe how different the original rock version is, but Miku is equally excellent in both, she is underrated as a vocalist I think. Loved your reaction, keep `em coming !
"Sayonakidori" is one of the most beautiful acoustic songs I have heard in a long time. Miku wrote the lyrics loosely based on the Shakespearian tragedy of "Romeo and Juliet". The lyrics reflect the longing of Juliet to continue the romantic encounter with Romeo. She hears a bird singing and thinking it's a nightingale (Sayonakidori is Japanese for nightingale), but Romeo tells her it's a lark. That meant that daylight was approaching and he had to leave. Juliet's words of romantic longing are so apparant in the lyrics. Miku's brilliant lyrics coupled with her sweet young girl's voice makes the song so impactful.
I've had a song that's been my favorite song for almost 30 years, and I never thought I'd find a song that would be better. Let's just say I have two favorite songs now.😂 (The other one is Tori Amos - Winter.)
On Christmas of 2021 *BAND-MAID* had a Streaming Acoustic show and below is the setlist from the show. ├ 📂 Smile ├ 📂 At the drop of a hat ├ 📂 NO GOD ├ 📂 H-G-K ├ 📂 Different (Saiki, Kanami) ├ 📂 Manners (Saiki, Kanami) ├ 📂 Awkward (Saiki, Kanami, MISA) ├ 📂 Wonderland (Saiki, Kanami, MISA) ├ 📂 TIME (Miku, Akane, MISA) ├ 📂 Sayonakidori (Miku, Akane, MISA) ├ 📂 FORWARD (Miku, Saiki, Akane) ├ 📂 Catharsis ├ 📂 Mirage └ 📂 PAGE
Great job Juliett! Believe it or not, Sayonakidori is a heavy hard rock song, which makes this delicate arrangement even more surprising in its acoustic version. You can listen to the original version on Band Maid's YT channel in the releases section, it's the seventh song from their LP Unseen World. Believe me, it's worth being amazed by the difference between one version and another. Thanks!
The full-band version of Sayonakidori is great as well: they both touch the emotions, but in different ways. Their acoustic set was incredible and if you have an interest in seeing any more, they have one more song -- Catharsis -- loaded to their channel. It's also a beautiful song with great lyrics.
Three years ago at Christmas, BAND-AMID held an acoustic online broadcast for fans when they were still unable to perform live in Japan. It took a full day to record, and the 1 hour and 30 minute 14 song broadcast begins at sunrise and ends at dusk. It was also the first time they changed from their maid outfits into brown Christmas reindeer colored outfits. Miku initially formed the band as the lead singer, but felt that her own voice was too bright and didn't fit the band's direction, so she scouted Saiki and, not wanting to add any more members, began playing side guitar for the first time. The official RUclips channel has a video of "Catharsis" performed by all the members at that time. And if you like Miku's gentle singing voice, I recommend Cluppo "With you". This song also has great lyrics.
If you like Miku's songs check out her solo stuff. After doing two years of their April Fool's Day persons, BAND-MAIKO, don't forget to check those out, that cam back from The COVID Clampdown with a new joke, Miku Goes Solo as Cluppo. You may already know her pigeon alter ego, Kruppo. She just changed the transliteration. She wrote a song for each member of BAND-MAID, but I think only a couple have videos. One is an anime theme song. Look for her doing the Maiko walk in huge Doc Martin style boots. Also, check out their anime theme songs like 'Shambles, as well as the OMV for 'Unleash' in which they appear in anime form themselves.
Please do not sleep on Unleash!!!!! as it is the tale of 5 women conquering COVID as musicians who entertain fans long distance who then morph into super heroines to kick the monster's ass! Part anime - part live Maids - 100% awesome Official Music Video!
Hi. After many requests for an acoustic set by fans, this was one of 14 songs released as a live stream- a Christmas gift to the fans on 25 Dec 2021. The electric version of this song is pretty heavy, but Kanami completely rearranged all the songs for the acoustic show using different combinations of the band members. As a result making the songs more folky/jazzy if that makes sense. The show audio was released as a CD in April 2022. So far no DVD. Great reaction again- Thanks.
Very nice reaction and comments. Miku actually has a pretty wide vocal range, both lower and higher than main singer Saiki, but without the power that Saiki has. In this song, it's pretty much the upper range for Miku. Thanks for continuing to react to Band-Maid.
Glad to hear it 👍🏻☺️ Always here if you need anything even more suggestions haha 😂 Take all the time you need, but will be eagerly waiting for more content 🙂 have a good day Jess ❤️
Great reaction, as always, Jess. Maybe time to go back to something harder rocking? If so, I suggest an older one of theirs, The Non-fiction Days... either the MV or the live, they're both great. Or if you want to keep on with the softer side, have you done the MV for Daydreaming yet? If not, you'll love it (it's really hard not to love).
You should hear the full electric version of this song. Miku kills it in both, but the feel of the songs are so different. You also have to love the amazing backing vocals of Akane. The Gorilla has a sweet voice, which complements Miku's so well. FYI...It's really only missing 1 member, Kanami, as Saiki takes a break during these Miku lead songs. There are 3 other songs in Miku's current rotation, "Time", "Rock In Me" and "Brightest Star". PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘 As for Miku's sing ability, prior to forming Band-Maid, she had just come from a Idol group called 'Lil Cumin". That group consisted of 3 Idols selected from over 2,600 contestants, broadcasted on a Japanese TV channel. She also has a side solo project called Cluppo, where she is the lead singer, in the vocal style call hippi-poppo. After the band formed, Miku realized her voice alone wasn't quite what she envisioned for the bands direction, so she along with Management of the Talent Agency, looked for another singer in the Talent Agency to do dual vocals with Miku. Enter Saiki. So in the early stages, Miku sang more, although Saiki did seem to have more "lead" lines than Miku. As the band's music progressed, Saiki took on more of a "lead" and Miku more of a "backing vocal" role, as well as learning the rhythm guitar parts. BTW...not sure if you were aware or not, but Miku didn't initially know how to play any instruments prior to the formation of Band-Maid. For the band to progress, it was decided they needed a additional guitarist was needed to play rhythm guitar, to allow Kanami to take lead guitar to the next step. Miku didn't want to add another member, so it came down to Saiki or Miku having to learn the guitar. The story is Saiki refused, so Miku took it upon herself to learn the part. If/when you do their first MV "Thrill", the song that saved the band, Miku is holding a Rickenbacker guitar. Holding is literally right, as she did not know how to play guitar at the time this video was shot. Under the tutelage of the genius composer and lead guitarist Kanami, Miku has become a great rhythm guitarist. So, at the end of the day, Band-Maid technically has two lead singers, just one, majority of the time, is the feature lead singer.

Miku just has a pop voice and does a great job where she fits as backing most of the time. She knows that. They all know that.

No matter what venue or band format, Band-Maid always brings something unexpected and special to the eyes and ears... and heart! 💝🎀 Thx, Jess!
Bear in mind... Miku is classed as a 'Mezzo Soprano'. Such a sweet little pigeon.

3/5 of Band Maid is still better than most bands 😉
There were actually 14 songs in this 2021 Xmas Day online concert; 2 of which are in their official channel - Sayonakidori and Catharsis.
Three years ago at Christmas, BAND-AMID held an acoustic online broadcast for fans when they were still unable to perform live in Japan. It took a full day to record, and the 1 hour and 30 minute 14 song broadcast begins at sunrise and ends at dusk.

Thank you for reacting to my favorite Band-Maid song.
