MISA would definitely approve of your shirt. This has to be one of their best songs. Every member gets a chance to shine. If you want to hear more of Miku singing, check out "Rock In Me" live :-)
I love this song it has an eighties hard rock feel even more so live because the bass and drums are so punchy. I think every Bandmaid song is a drum solo from start to end. If you are looking for an Akane fix there's a video of her doing a Maximum the Hormone cover, check it out if you haven't already.
Miku does such an amazing job augmenting Saiki's voice that it's not always clear where one stops and the other starts. It's nice to have a song with more harmonizing and trading off of lines so you can hear her better. She doesn't have Saiki's power, but boy does she have a sweet voice. Someone suggested 'Rock In Me' live. That's a good one to see her really engage an audience.
I really like Saiki's voice, and this song shows it off, I like her shouts. Miku is the heart and soul of this group, but you don't often get to see it. Even if Saiki and Kanami are my favorite parts. Look up the live version of Rock In Me, she's on stage for a while before and you see her personality. And good luck with the Akane solo, she doesn't like to do them very often AFAIK.
"Choose me", "Turn me on", "Rock in me" and, of course, "Don`t let me down" (in this order). It is meaning of life and a guide after Band Maid for real fans:)
Miku does have a sweet voice but she is nowhere as strong and natural a singer as Saiki. I know how you were feeling when you were smiling at her vocal parts. She can really melt your heart with that head tilt and finger wag in this song. You will get a chance to see more of her considerable moe powers if you can find a way to do "Thrill".
Miku has a more melodic voice than Saiki, definitely better for ballads, and in a duet with her, she sings not only in harmony, but contrasting delicacy of her singing with the sharp, almost Saiki scream. This appeared only after some time, because in the acoustic session of 2014, or even in "Thrill" their voices sound quite similar.
Every element - human and instrument - is totally on point here and lay down a seriously ferocious barrage…this tune wasn’t one of my Top 5 before: it sure the hell is now!!!
Hey John! Miku and Saiki sing together more than not. Their voices meld together so well that they sound as one much of the time, kind of like how Alice In Chains used to combine their 2 voices so seamlessly.💪🏻🤘🏻
Misa and Akane are the heart of Band Maid's sound. Akane is an amazing drummer. Since you have reviewed many of the great live version performances, I suggest that you review some of the early Band Maid songs. I would recommend "Thrill" and "Shake that", as those were the songs that first drew attention to Band Maid. Good review.
The problem with Japanese girl bands is once you like one o more, you just simply can't stay away. It begins with Babymetal, next Scandal, and now Band-Maid. And you know it when you know the names of all the members.
I think I've checked them all out, But Band Maid is the only one I like. There is just something special about them...every member...every instrument...the song styling...the harmonies....everything just clicks like no other.
@@stimproid Band-Maid are absolutely my fav but I have room for TELECiDE, Mutant Monster,, LoveBites, Mary's Blood, Babymetal, Scandal(Early) and StereoPony in my mix with a shout out to Unlucky Morpheus and Brats
@@DavidMISAMISAMISACook A deal breaker for me with any band is the screaming/yelling/growling style. Some of them are great until I hear that...then I'm out. Many of the vocalists that don't growl seem to have a similar style...singing from their head...Saiki really projects power from her diaphragm... setting her apart from the rest. The other bands have singers...Saiki is a legit Rockstar. Just my opinion :-)
I don't think that her surgery has much to do with the changes in her voice. It's a matter of vocal technique. She said in an interview that she learned from her vocal coach how to use her full body to sing better and to make her voice last for more than half hour of show. In the early days she used mostly her head voice and she could barely speak at the end of the gigs, but she learned how to save strenght for a two-hour show. And she is still learning.
I know scandal long time ago far before bm, but never learn their name, i only impresed that there is exist all girl band, stereopony too .but when i found bm, i just know that this is music iv been searching for
Great reaction !! If you want to deeply enjoy AKANE's performance more, I recommend "Band-Maid / Alone (live @ Comiccon London 2016)" video to you. Probably this video is taken by a fan camera. So the sound quality and the movie fineness are a bit lower. But ! you will understand her high performance technique from this video, and why she is called a "beast". Please enjoy !!
i dismissed this first listen but its growing on me , a lot of good parts well played, and yes Miku vocals so cute too , and Misa...a wow start to song.
Reac to: Band Maid Anemone Acoustic Live At Zepp Tokyo please, Kanami also sings, he has a Sweet Voice and good harmonization, I Really love this concert.
Miku is Band Maid's brain and engine. Miku also write the lyrics. Band Maid is her band.....She is an amazing girl....React "Rock in me" Zepp live, Miku sing...
All three can play piano since young age. That's why their music is so interesting. Their long time training have conditioned their brains to be so comfortable with music. It's like eating for them. Their minds can weave in and out of music scores like walking in the park.
@@DavidMISAMISAMISACook So does the drummer with Scandal , live and with other band live on tv too . I hope Akane and the gtr player get a chance to as well.
I saw a bunch of that particular video. Look carefully and you'll see what MISA was drinking that night: Jim Beam! Just sayin' she might be...challenged by a "Jack Daniels" shirt...at least it would be a conversation starter.
She actually likes both whiskeys. Jim Beam and JD. Misa is an acutely shy person. She tosses back a few to stay loose. Miku says Misa plays better when drunk and Misa says a couple of shots is far better than taking tranquilizers. Best damn hard rock band anywhere today. I love this incredible band. Sacramento does, too.
It's great to see all of the reaction videos to my favourite band spreading the word. After you do these though, look up the lyrics for yourself. I think you will be surprised at just how much English is in there. For your convenience lyricstranslate.com/en/band-maid-lyrics.html
If you want to see more Akane's drum play, please check "Akane plays Maximum the hormone's Benjo sandal dance" ruclips.net/video/OJcCeFlqo1A/видео.html
Oh my dog!! I have just noticed Akane's bare shoulders, oh no, pure filth!!...LOL!! her backing is just phenominal, she never misses a beat. Another great song from these beautiful superb ladies. ps. I am now going to cut away the shoulders of all my T shirts. And I wood really love a maids outfit, and my girlfriend says she is ok with that.
How come that I have never seen this reaction of yours? OK, now we have a longer Akane's solo: ruclips.net/video/8Nq_reJB4SY/видео.html There is also one in Freedom, here at 5-23: ruclips.net/video/FKQLNN7N5w0/видео.html And here as well, at the same exact moment of 5-23: ruclips.net/video/RxmRiWHZ3TI/видео.html
Basically Kanami writes the basic music for the songs and Miku writes most of the lyrics. Have you noticed yet that you haven't heard a bad song from Band Maid? More power to you if you can get more into music. Sorry I haven't subscribed but if it makes you feel any better I don't subscribe to anyone.
If you don't mind an old fart rocker I'd join your band. Can play rhythm guitar, bass or drums. And like Miku my voice is better as a backup harmonizing one. 😀

One of the remarkable things about Miku is her energy and selflessness. She is constantly performing even when the other members get a break.
@stimproid And when they're not on stage, she's out promoting the band.
Best spokespigeon ever. : )
@@rickwagner- Po!

In this song all five ladies have each high point.
Hey John, Just thought I would let you know that this was one of the first vids I watched 3+ years ago. Came back just to see this again.
Miku does have a sweet voice but she is nowhere as strong and natural a singer as Saiki. I know how you were feeling when you were smiling at her vocal parts. She can really melt your heart with that head tilt and finger wag in this song. You will get a chance to see more of her considerable moe powers if you can find a way to do "Thrill".

Oh and don't forget Rock In Me, Miku sings the whole song while Saiki takes a break and is super cute the whole time lol.
Great reaction matey. Good on you John. Cheers from Pete in Australia.
@Peter Karargiris I'm from Victoria 200km East of Melbourne
Cheers Dave, I'm from Adelaide. How the heck are we going to get Band-Maid to come to Australia ?
@@peterkarargiris4110 All good thing, we finally got Babymetal albeit East Coast only sorry Peter
@@DavidMISAMISAMISACook Not to worry, this fanboy will travel.
Happy Birthday Saiki san!
Hmm, looks like you're enchanted also. "Grin"

try their song "ALONE", it has many short solos from AKANE. They have a MV of it

Get this band relocated to LA. They are hands down the very best at what they do. Love these ladies. Viva Band-Maid.
Saiki's voice is so sultry and Miku's harmonies are icing on the already kick ass cake! I'm so glad Sai-chan doesn't sound like a mouse on helium!
Great reaction !!

Band Maid is fantastic!
"Alone" next pls !!
Good luck with ur dream john
U're a man with a mission
MISA MISA MISA!
Agreed!
More bands need to have bass solos. It sounds SOOOO GOOOD!
Miku is Band Maid's brain and engine. Miku also write the lyrics. Band Maid is her band.....She is an amazing girl....React "Rock in me" Zepp live, Miku sing...
Kanami plays piano also!
So does Akane
MISA started playing piano when she was 3 or 4. According to wikipedia.
All three can play piano since young age. That's why their music is so interesting. Their long time training have conditioned their brains to be so comfortable with music. It's like eating for them. Their minds can weave in and out of music scores like walking in the park.
@@DavidMISAMISAMISACook So does the drummer with Scandal , live and with other band live on tv too . I hope Akane and the gtr player get a chance to as well.
@@DavidMISAMISAMISACook Akane also plays trombone. Band-Maid needs a wicked trombone solo.........
Kanami and Akane and Misa began the piano from the age of three. And Akane is to play the trombone.
If you have not already, check out their song Arcadia Girls
Kanami's guitar solo is amazing and on freak!
You should review live ‘Moratorium’. It will rock you to your core. Misa’s bass is a machine gun in that song.
done already ruclips.net/video/O6SI2UkG93k/видео.html
Order. Great tune by the group.
John it is so nice to see you so happy!!!!!! When are you going to do the next section of the End of an Era concert?
