Great review. This DVD also had a companion DVD where all the members talk about each song. For "Wonderland we learned something important about Saiki's voice. Here's snippet from that: Kanami: Sai-chan's falsetto is beautiful. Miku: Sai-chan's falsetto became possible after the operation on your throat, po. Saiki: Well, that's so. Miku: Until then, you couldn't do it. Saiki: Because the phlegm had obstructed my throat. Like 'Ga-ra-ga-ra.' Miku: Some time ago, Sai-chan asked me, 'How to do falsetto?' po. Saiki: I said, 'I can't do that, because the phlegm obstructs my throat.' Miku: I said, 'Usually it doesn't obstruct.' po. Saiki: I had polyps in my throat, so it was always as if the phlegm were obstructing my throat. Kanami: That's so? Saiki: In my vocal cords, the phlegm was always staying there. Kamani: What a pity for you! Saiki: Hara-hara-hara-hara. Miku: It sounds koro-koro-koro, po. Saiki: Thanks to you all. Miku: After that, you can make a clean falsetto, po. Kanami: Anyway, it's fortunate that remaining Sai-chan's original voice character, the operation had been finished. And Sai-chan can luckily continue singing with the original voice.
The complexity in this song alone and performed live sets them apart from most other bands past and present. I've always loved this song and I think it represents something special about their composing ability.
In the Kanami-Dani PRS interview Dani mentioned the significance of touring and playing live in that there are no do overs. Band-Maid performs live to perfection!
Kanami is the main composer, especially back when this song was written, so she always has what’s best for the song in mind and doesn’t write the guitar parts to be any more flashy than she honestly feels the song would require. Even so, when you listen for her, she’s always busy playing good stuff. Never lazy, or boring, guitar parts even when she’s not the main focal point.
Tomorrow September 28th is Kanami's birthday! The Space Cadent turned Rock Goddess. The Princess 👸 of our hearts. Love your channel here. Thank you Bill Halsey for this reaction!
Muchas gracias, Domo arigatou and Thank You for watching and reacting to what has been my favourite* (*may be subject to change) Band-Maid song for years now. I play it daily and it moves me, relaxes me, energises me and makes me smile...which from now on I will be referring to as 'The Nipple Effect'! It is such a masterpiece of composition - like Kanami's perfectly restrained solo, as you mentioned - and Saiki's vocals really get to shine - she sails through 3 octaves at 11:00 and the long, high note she holds not long afterwards is gorgeous. What you said about music being live is so right. I've enjoyed many, many bands in pubs, clubs, bars, halls, stadiums and festivals since the mid 70's and it is always a great experience. I love that, in Japan, phones are banned at concerts as, up until the mid 90's, we actually used to just watch and dance and sing and enjoy the live experience before going home with good - if occasionally hazy - memories. PS La Gringa, if it helps with the 'costumes'/'outfits'/'lifestyle' debate, the band refer to what they wear on stage as their "Battle Dress"! As do Babymetal, so a double seal of approval there - and it's a pretty cool name!
BTW, I believe Band-Maid will be delighted when they see your reactions. Many bands watch reactions to get a sense of how people feel about their songs. When you guys get up to the front row of a smaller venue concert I am sure they will give you bright 😃 😊 🙂
The Wonderland - called Band-Maid! New album out - “Epic Narrative” new songs along with the single MVs that have been out! “You need to check it out” - Miku Kobato 🤘🕊️🦍🥷👸🏻👀PO!
Thanks for showing your insightful appreciation to an underrated Band-Maid song. The bass, vocals, drums, guitar all have these tasty bits of jazz phrasing. So good.
Band-Maid helped people that could only enjoy super fast songs to be able to enjoy some slower songs with influences from many genres. Chats from years ago would always have comments about Band-Maid wasting time on slower songs. This never happens anymore. This is a result of bands doing what they want to do and reactors on RUclips providing entertaining music appreciation. 😎 😎 😎
Top tier reactors to top tier Band Maid ❤ This song is beautiful, complex, and what I describe as their “cinematic rock.” What exactly is this?! As a musician, whenever I hear songs like this, from any artist, it’s just amazing to me that people can have this much creativity.
9:45 That was Thrill. It was their first video and to this day their most viewed. You should revisit it. It was also the song that saved the band. Their label was about to drop them, but the video took off, and the rest is Maid-story. 🕊️ Unfortunately, we may never get Dance-Maid...although Akane will still dance for us on occassion.
Thanks TG&TG! Wonderland is one of my favs -- so well crafted. Every part is linked and builds tension for that enormous final "To the wonderland" outro. And like you say, it just doesn't need a lot of shreddage.
Tequila Jimmy and Gringa, thank you for the reaction and the shout out. Of course, " Wonderland" is always one of my favorite Band-Maid songs. The song shows that they are more than simply a rock band. Their musical brilliance transcends any genre. I'm glad both liked it. MISA's bass is so soulfully in this one. I call her the Japanese soul sister.
We really dug this one Bill. So many musical things happening in this song. Above all impressive composition .Band-Maid is fkin amazing! Thank you again for supporting us and bringing this one into the spotlight! 🍻
I really love this song. It feels like being on a float in a river, and being carried along by the current. Sometimes soft and smoothly,, sometimes the trip gets a little bit more exciting. But the entire ride is a joy to be carried through by the sound, and when it's over, you open your eyes, and say to yourself "One more time!"
The video you may be thinking about with the white background would be “Thrill”. The video that put them on the course that they are on. I believe Kanami once said that they write for what best serves the song. Enjoy your reactions
In some songs, 'Stealth-Mincho' is at least as strong and indispensable as 'Minchozilla'. And I can't remember ever having felt that the lovely Kanami showed us the wrong side of herself. That also makes her special.... If the first songs I heard from B-M impressed me from the instrumental side, it was this song that made me realize quite clearly how good and important Saiki is for this band construct as well. Would B-M work with a different singer? Even though Linkin Park are currently proving that it is possible, my mind won't let anyone else take Saiki's place. ❤🔥🤘🏻 _____________________ 「 _"Our rock never dies ever. Forever!"_ 」 - from *BAND-MAID* - 'Manners' ♬🕊
Im so glad you got to hear this !!!!!!! It's one of my fav's and really show a different side of BM. Being a drummer....Akane as usual was absolutely perfect is this...totally in the pocket with Misa and never going overboard. This song really shows of the musicianship of this band. Since you liked this...check out Awkward live.....another often overlooked song by our girls !!!!!!!
Another great reaction from TJ & TG! I agree that Band-Maid are great in a live setting. I also agree that Kanami doesn't overdo anything and plays what fits best in each song. Also, they just released a new album called Epic Narratives.
Always love this song, Saiki really gets to shine. Since The Gringa mentioned that MISA is her favorite bassist, I want to recommend a brand new band that happens to be big fans of Band Maid, and also has a freaking insanely good bassist. Nek! (Pronounced Neck-ee). Check out their song Maze, I think you two will enjoy it quite a bit. Their bassist was a finalist for Lovebites despite being only 15 at the time.
BAND-MAID is not LOVEBITES. They know when not to noodle. Such restraint. Nothing against Noodle Meister Showoff Bands, like LOVEBITES and Aldios. Not really my thing, but some people like it. And Fami finally found a home. It had to be in one of those two bands. She fits right in. But BAND-MAID know how to reign it in. But if you want to see them noodle, watch 'Without Holding Back'. They can noodle with the best of them! ruclips.net/video/eEiE3ND7JEc/видео.html
Im sorry that you havent grabbed any of the new tracks off of their latest album that dropped on the 25th.....forbidden tale, toi et moi, or tamaya....no videos for these yet, but its been teased that the next video will be forbidden tale
Hey guys....btw...the song that you heard in a white room was the song "Thrill". It was their fist ever MV. It still sounds great even after 11 years!!! You should definitely check it out !!!! It's a fan FAV !!!! But do the MV....the live mix isn't great
This is what I call real piece of music. By that I mean music that transcends genre's and stands alone by it's genius. The only other song that does this for me is Awkward.
Thank you *Bill Hallisey* for spreading the word of *BAND-MAID* 🍺😁

I love the complexity of this song. There’s so much in there rhythmically, melodically and harmonically to digest.

That white room video is their song - Thrill. Definitely worth a re-listen
Thanks! With such a huge catalog of songs, this one often gets lost in the mix.

Don't think they ever played with Babymetal except on the same festival bill...maybe
Honestly not sure... That's what he told us and we were surprised he knew them
Could you react to Gold Slugs by DJ Khaled, Chris Brown?
Dude, check out "THE ONE" from EPIC NARRATIVES their new album it's audio only at this point 😊 but you need this in your life
This is what I call real piece of music. By that I mean music that transcends genre's and stands alone by it's genius. The only other song that does this for me is Awkward.
Totally Agree !!!!!
I can only understand the translation, but are you saying “SAIKI” is Korean? That is too rude. She is a genuine Japanese.
Lol who said she was Korean ??
