Everything about this song is brilliant beyond words particularly the descending 'ah ah ah'. If these girls don't achieve world wide recognition there is something badly wrong with the system - anti rock, anti girl - whatever the reason. There is not a band that comes anywhere near them for talent, performance, creativity and just all round bloody brilliance.
@@GaryHolloway-810 Neither did I. This was probably the song I overlooked the most from the preview, who knew it’d smack me silly on the very first listen. This is gonna be amazing to sing along in a packed stadium. It won’t take much to incite a riot with something like this 😅
@@GaryHolloway-810 Damn that’s very unfortunate. I hope they get to play there the moment everything recovers. On the other hand it might be a good thing too as I feel they deserve a packed Budokan for their first arena. Also, yay for online shows too as I was feeling quite down for not being able to see their first Budokan.
If you have listened to rock music since The Beatles you can hear how these new bands have picked out the best elements of songs from the 60's to the 90's. They love what they are doing and have learned to do it so well and at such a young age. The future of Rock is safe and in good hands.
That was a great freeze-frame of Saiki. As you pointed out, this is not the Saiki of the indie days. We have watched her grow as a performer over the years and take charge as the lead singer for Band-Maid. The years have been a friend to her in other ways as well. I think it was Robert Palmer who put it best: "She used to look good to me, but now I find her... Simply irresistible!"
Kind of a bitter sweet Band Maid day...the Budokan show they worked so hard to achieve was cancelled but they released another masterpiece. Budokan awaits you another day ladies, Band Maid is forever ours!
I’d heard a song or two from Band-Maid and thought.. ok...not bad....Then I heard this..wow, just wow. I’m gonna have to really check out the rest of their music now
These days it's just so popular to react to something even remotely Band-Maid related and calling it a day. I'm glad there are still people actually diving into the music and/or video. As I wrote on the actual MV, the song and imigary is great, with hints to the other songs on the album and nods to previous songs. Just like they did with Domination, minus the nods to previous songs. You have to watch it a couple of times to actually get all of it, if that is even possible. And if you look at the music videos these lovely ladies put out, the sequence has so far always been a simpler band performance type MV followed by an imigary ladden, elaborate MV and then back to the band performance focused MV.
So good and like so many of their songs the more I hear it the more I catch those special details and touches and I love it so much. Best rock band on the planet.
Such a good song. Thanks for the quick reaction OleSkule! The vid has captions but u can turn on CC to get the Japanese words in English as well. Watch it again & again!
9:27 In that image: Miku: the "Don" (boss) Siaki: the "sottoacapo" (underboss) Kanami: the "consigliere" (advisor/counselor) Akane: the "caporegime" (captain) Misa: the "soldatto" (soldier/goon/assassin)
Miku is showing a lot more confidence! I love it! I gotta give this a few more listening's but so far I'm loving it! Oh by the way, thank you for introducing me to rolling Quartz as I never would have checked them out if not on your say so.
Thanks for another enjoyable reaction session. You’re always so observant and catch so many details! I think those that have been following them for a while will recognize the story of their journey and declaration of where they are headed from this point, in both the music and lyrics of the song. There are also many Easter eggs in the lyrics and video itself... older songs, MVs, album covers... In the Limited Pressing edition of the album, this song appears on both the “Roots” and “Progress / Evolution” CDs. Once again reinforcing the music and lyrics of the song. It’s a storytelling and message.
I think Miku finding Kanami is event that makes anything that comes later possible. Miku has a burning ambition to be a music entertainer. Miku wanted to form a band after failing as a child Idol singer. I'm not sure that Kanami would have developed as a songwriter to anywhere near the degree she has, without being pushed into that role. Akane and Misa have all the qualities to be first class session musicians, but as women it would have been hard to make a living at it. The two of them probably would have ended up giving lessons. Saiki has a nice voice but it's not really a typical J-pop voice, or a smooth City Pop type of voice. The girls really have invented their own genre. They don't really sound like anyone else. They always break their influences into musical elements and do their own thing with it. They are breaking more new ground than anyone else I know of right now.
Saiki's vocals strike me as most of all "natural." Nothing fake or posing about it. And always working to improve, like all of them. And that little yodel near the end... super touch.
Great reaction man! These ladies are ones you should show your daughter! To me the are girl power and a positive roll models. Band-Maid is always surprising me and makes me feel good! I just need a little BM to make me feel a bit better.
If you turn on CC. This song has full English translation. Seems to be their new trend which is very appreciated. Not saying you need to re react just a friendly heads up so you can take in the full meaning on your next listen
Wakannai say? BAND-MAID's services will never disappoint you in any Manner! And Miku...the small pigeon have been unleashed Po! She goes wild on this song. I wonder how crazy she's going to be in "her" song on the album
I just want to thank you for mentioning Rolling Quartz! I fell in love with them immediately because, as you say, sounds like BAND-MAID did in the beginning. Just wow! How many bands are there out there that I have never heard of??? Amazing! I have to say I really love life when you find new gems like this. Thanks for making my day!
Everything coming out for the new album has been amazing so far. Pre-ordering this thing has served to be a wise purchase. They just continue improving themselves.
Many of the old rock bands got tired of writing similar songs, or made songs that were too complicated to be understood. The disappointed rock fan hid "behind the rock" for a while, but ate Kanami's elaborate bait. She knows what's cool. They are swimming out of the shade of the rock. It's a big catch! I think Band-Maid is a good fisherman, for example.
You were spot on with your comment at about 6:24 onwards, qoute from Misa's comments on the album on the hmv co jp site: 'A song that connects "return to origin" and "evolution of current point". The theme is exactly our BAND-MAID.'
I felt similar today. After getting up read the news about Marko, today generally not had much success with my plans, and then in the afternoon the notification that this video was published. How much that has saved me the day! Beautiful video, musically perfect again and excellent lyrics. In short: Another great song from these ladies!
Half the album is like this and the rest is the new progression. This is the bridge song. I see your thoughts on Rolling Quartz. They did just start in 2019.
After that FFDP reaction, you needed this! This song has that groove rock, bluesy feel, similar to a band like Clutch, but heavier and all B-M. I've listened to the song a dozen times already, and it gets better each time!!!👍👍🤘🤘🤘
@@GaryHolloway-810 - I agree. By the last concert before the surgery, she was in serious pain trying to sing. There is a pic from the time of that concert (in August 2017 if I remember correctly), I think offstage but still in their concert dresses, of Kanami drying Saiki's tears with a cloth and trying to comfort her. And real suffering on her face. She said later in interview she had known about the nodes on her vocal cords for awhile, but was afraid of the surgery, and that learning her vocal coach had had it encouraged her. (But she clearly couldn't put it off any longer either.) After, she was getting further coaching on using power without excessive strain, which I think she is mastering. And although I was concerned when she was back at it only a month or so after surgery, it was heartening to see what they all did to help lower the stress on her voice. It was exactly then I noticed she and Miku subtly swapping vocals periodically, so smoothly I wouldn't have realized it except for seeing it on the video. That was temporary. That was also when they started coming up with a few instrumentals, that everyone calls her pee break. Maybe, but it's more than that. And Miku got a couple of solo songs after that. And they included the acoustic sessions in a few concerts, so Saiki could show her emotional range and versatility more without pushing her vocal volume as much. And conversely, that is also when the others ramped up the heavy tunes more (along with her amp channel) so she wouldn't have to carry the overall intensity as much. All those things started, right... then. And when recovered, she had the knowledge and the freedom to use her voice without straining and has even more power now. Anyway, it really touched me to realize how they must have brainstormed how to support Saiki's vocal health through recovery and beyond. And, Band-Maid came out stronger for it.
The ladies released this song today but at the same time they released a message about the cancellation of their Budokan concert which had been scheduled for Feb. 11, 2021 due to the emergency epidemic in Tokyo ......I had tickets for that show.....we will have to wait for things to clear up first before another chance to see them live again! Still Manners is a great song to soften the blow! Thanks from 🇨🇦
You want really early Band-Maid listen to something off of Maid in Japan. Something like Forward, Be OK, or Key. There aren't any videos for them though (that I know of), since they are from their first album. It's definitely a different sound from even things on New Beginning like Thrill. Other things off of New Beginning would be great as well. Personally my favorites are Freezer, Price of Pride and Arcadia Girl, though most are awesome.
Yes. Written by others, but they definitely gave the tunes their own treatment. I like every stage of Band-Maid. I liked Honey from that period, a lot, but their recent stronger arrangement of it is rock gold.
I noticed that you haven't done a reaction to NEMOPHILA yet. They are another J-Rock band composed of members of other bands and have been together jamming for a little over a year. I think every Band-Maid fan out there would especially enjoy their latest single SORAI.
I agree. One of those rare bands whose every release I have liked. Like Band-Maid, they have a blast playing together, and their qualities are top notch.
Definitely influenced by Dragon Cries .. Surprised because that was one of their least popular songs. Even though Tony Visconti hasn't worked with anyone relevant in a long time. It was of course an experience for them to work with someone outside of Japan and to gain knowledge in the music industry. I like hearing them adding more English to their songs.
Mate! As usual I am late for the coach as I discovered you a long time after you got started! Manners is part of an album proving like so many of your friends say, they have matured. But like any good wine they still have plenty of time and potential to refine themselves into something we cannot yet imagine! Looking forward to your next reaction! Best regards, Robert-Gilles
Damn you got this one out quick! Such a dope song. You can just groove to this for hours. (Thats what I plan on doing lol) I love the breakdown on the lyrics! Great reaction. Thanks for the video.
Hey while we're all here. I'm sure we all know Band-Maid had to cancel their Budokan shoe. Would anyone like to participate/ head up a "thank you" (i was thinking a fan compilation video but open to ideas) for Band-Maid for everything they've done for all their fans this year in spite of them almost certainly being bummed at how they can't get out on stage or interact with their fans. Thank you! Hoping to get it to them by February 11th aka Budokan day.
Back and forth between the two. They usually include a few English lines and expressions, but for this it looks like at least half is in English. If the subtitle translation is on, it will show the Japanese in English as well.

This song is the official Band Maid Anthem. Madiacs Rise! We taking over!
I said this would be the arena chant song. I did NOT see this coming :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 Neither did I. This was probably the song I overlooked the most from the preview, who knew it’d smack me silly on the very first listen.
This is gonna be amazing to sing along in a packed stadium. It won’t take much to incite a riot with something like this 😅
@@Dtagcity I just read B-M's statement on their Tokyo site cancelling Budokan. It's quite moving. But they've hinted at more on line shows. Yay.

Kanami the riff machine takes charge.
I think their genre is J-Band Maid. That Outro, Po!
Hahahahha so fking TRUE
This song is J-QotSA Josh Homme would be proud to write this song.

I was trying to find the word for this and I have settled on "Maturity". This song shows their maturity. I love this song so much!
This album will be a masterpiece without a doubt

Band Maid to the rescue!! Yeah they have pretty much rescued me all of last year and into this one. Hard to feel sad when these ladies show up.
I just can't believe they did it again! Smashing rock busting music - THE BEST!!!!
Our Rock will never dies!
So good and like so many of their songs the more I hear it the more I catch those special details and touches and I love it so much. Best rock band on the planet.
Such a good song. Thanks for the quick reaction OleSkule! The vid has captions but u can turn on CC to get the Japanese words in English as well. Watch it again & again!
MISA! MISA! MISA!
Proof they are the Best Rock'n'Roll Band on the Planet Today!!
Po!
I was just watching them play 'After Life' live on J-Melo and then this pops up! Indeed a wonderful day :D
This has latter day Glenn Hughes and Deep Purple all over it.. Loving it so much.
Like it. Its in the style like "the dragon cries". They can blues rock.

Cute Japanese ladies come here to save proud of Rock!! ( ^ ^ )
Hey while we're all here. I'm sure we all know Band-Maid had to cancel their Budokan shoe. Would anyone like to participate/ head up a "thank you" (i was thinking a fan compilation video but open to ideas) for Band-Maid for everything they've done for all their fans this year in spite of them almost certainly being bummed at how they can't get out on stage or interact with their fans. Thank you! Hoping to get it to them by February 11th aka Budokan day.
are they singing in Japanese and English simultaneously? it's a badass song in English but to sing both makes it even more so!!!
Back and forth between the two. They usually include a few English lines and expressions, but for this it looks like at least half is in English. If the subtitle translation is on, it will show the Japanese in English as well.
Wow. Best song of band-maid!
This song is simply one great solo from MISA.
