- Honestly, I cannot find a single thing that's out of place with any of these incredible ladies! Every aspect of this song was flawlessly executed and Akane has cemented herself in my mind as the happiest drummer that I've ever witnessed. What an amazing experience that was!

I'm a bassist myself and the rhythm section of this band is one of the very best ever! I appreciate them so much. So glad you're enjoying your Band-Maid journey 🖤 keep it up!
Stay metal! 🤘🖤
Absolute facts, my friend! Yes, I really am enjoying this journey, thank you so much! Have a great weekend!
Been a drummer for 50 plus years.... heard akane....sold my drums akane Haruna tamu. New sheriff's in town!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤👍👍👍
Pure perfection, aren’t they? I mean, what can you fault? And those faces... their attitude... their music... their story... their joy! Band-Maid is a world treasure! Thanks Chief, for bringing the world's best hard rock band to your viewers!
I get misty eyed with every performance of theirs.
Something about the love for each other you feel on stage just hits me.
I'm a huge babymetal fan then I discoverd Band-Maid. Like I was blown away by BABYMETAL, then I saw "Band-Maid" I was like what no way, click and boom instant fan forever
That my line get out of my head lol only for me "I'm a huge" is "I was a Huge" until the last album now I am just one of those idiots that only likes their Back catalogue before they went Techno and too much Rap. Yui Yui Yui!
My journey, Babymetal > Band Maid > Lovebites > Doll$box > Gacharic Spin > Nemophila > Maximum The Hormone > Hanabie.
They all so great, same like you instant fan forever 🤘🏿
both good but BandMaid is a special band✌🏽👌🏽
I feel you... After i discovered Band-Maid i was also totally blown away and it never stopped or slowed down, they always improve, you will always get surprised and they share a lot with their fans. If you consider everything: musicianship, technique, chemistry, fanbase, talent, vocals, songwriting and the feeling during you are listening to Band-Maid is just HAPPINESS!
I think that´s the best word to describe it and they are the best band i´ve ever seen, that´s my opinion, i´ve seen a lot of bands (Rocco del Schlacko, Rock am Ring, Wacken, Rock im Park) and i had a lot of great times on festivals, great memories, but nothing made my jaw drop like they do... Greetings from Germany! I can see that you are totally hyped, that´s nice!
Happiness is absolutely perfect, brother. An excellent way to describe the experience of listening/watching these amazing ladies. I think that a Band-Maid live show is somethign to add to my bucket list immediately lol!
Have an amazing day, Michael. Vielen dank, as always, my brother.

The baseline is strong in every song. Misa is a world class bassist.
The ballad by them called Daydreaming is a different angle of band maid that is worth checking out :)
When he hears that he is going to be in stunned shock---then he'll get a glimpse of the the vast expanse of their musical palette. That is one of the most gorgeous songs I've ever heard! I seem to be unable to listen to it just once... He'll get to it soon-I will second that suggestion however!
Noted, my friends :) Thank you so much! Have a great weekend :D
Also, Marcus, I see you down here a lot, bro. Thank you so much, man. I appreciate you!
@@Chief322 Thanks--always a pleasure to watch! Being a master detective I assume you're British? ha ha...Right on!
A master detective INDEED! ;) haha!
After listening to Daydreaming, maybe the good time to test some Band Maiko titles :o
So many great comments, as far as my opinion I believe Band Maid has no rivals, the level of composition, musicianship, execution, versatility, precision and attitude, they're changing the face of music today by being themselves, arigatou gozimasou Banda Maido, ganbatte kudasai!
For me the beautiful harmonies is what makes Band Maid unique. Miku is always adding exactly what is needed. Brilliant in every way.
AKANE "THE BEAST" is the Queen Of Fills......
Band-Maid is a SPECIAL band!
The part that eased you “back down into a bed of pillows” is such a smooth caress because MISA is doing something bassists almost never do: BASS CHORDS! She’s a genius bassist .💪🏻🤘🏻
I as a Bass idiot do not understand but YES MISA MISA MISA!
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
@@DavidMISAMISAMISACook 🥃🥃🥃
This band is perfect. They are the level of perfection I wish to achieve, legit👀
I am a big BABYMETAL fan and I love Band-Maid, too. Especially this is my favorite song. Next "About us" please. Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。
i don't know if you noticed but the rest of the band sat down to give Akane her moment to shine. A very classy move.
Happiest drummer on Earth! ♥ Band Maid
Can we also please talk about their crowd interactions and their incredible stage presence. I get chills just hearing Miku and Saiki hyping the crowd with big smiles. And on top of that, you get this amazing drum solo and Kanami's "Mincho" moment with the power pose during a solo. They're simply amazing. Please check out "Play" live also for some more excellent crowd engagement during an awesome song!!
Yes, yes you can talk about that. When BAND-MAID take to the stage they exude an invisible "Feel good" aura that envelops the entire crowd & doesn't let go....ever :)
Second the call for Play live. Powerhouse opening.
I could not agree more, my friend :) They really are amazing. I was watching.. SOMETHING.. I don't remember exactly what, but they were explaining a little more how everything came together in terms of band members being chosen and it was so interesting to learn. It also made me even more aware of how the love, the smiles and the fun they have on stage is all from the heart, they absolutely love what they're doing and they have such admiration for each other, not just as musicians but also as human beings and it makes me so happy to be able to witness that.
Can I just say, John, I appreciate your comment regarding reaching 1k subs. I can't tell you how much it means to have that kind of support. Thank you so much, bro :)
Also.. made a note of Play ;)
@@Chief322 Thanks man, I started watching your content a few weeks back and I think is great. I know it's hard work being so consistent with your content, so all the praise and success is very well deserved.
You talk about the first stop and the lovely shot of Miku and Kanami. The idea behind the band was Miku’s with Kanami second, after it was Kaname’s pal Akane, and through Akane MISA. It was only after a while that Miku reflected that her voice might not be rock enough, so the advert went out and they landed Saiki. They are all mates now. You also must react to Miku’s solo MV - Peace and Love; the pigeon has the most endearing smile in Japanese rock
Peace & love, eh? Somebody's been listening to Cluppo on his own..
This always seem to me to be peak live Band-Maid. The enthusiasm and talent the show on stage is incredible and their energy is infectious, regardless of venue they get the crowd going wild. They have faster songs, like Blooming and Different, as well as slower ballads like Daydreaming and About Us. Truly a future global phenomenon.
Also...
MISA! MISA! MISA!
I am not sure how Band Maid became so addictive. There isn't a weak song in there 7 or 8 years they have been going. I am an old fogey and Band Maid just make me smile and want to go and see them live. I have seen their last two live on lines and bought DVDs and.....if any Band through the years just makes me happy to be around it is this band. Japanese rock and pop and metal have such a great number of quality bands. But Band Maid are the cream. Great to see others as enthusiastic about them as me.
You can tell - after the drum solo - that the transition came together better than they even planned.... Miku was laughing, Akane was laughing and Kanami just shreds it. They work hard but a great crowd reaction can lift a planned transition to something else. And, of course, the guy running lights was really in sync with the whole thing.
The transition from the drum solo to the guitar solo is musical perfection!
They have said that this is their favorite song to perform and I think you can see it clearly in their expressions. They are immensely talented musicians having a grand time. Thanks for doing another Band Maid reaction.
Whenever I read the title 'Freedom' or hear this song, I always have a familiar film scene in my head (don't ask, I don't know why). Some may know it: "They may take our lives but they'll never take our freedom". 🤷🏻♂️ :)
I am realistic enough to know that it won't be like that, but I wish that these ladies could/would continue to make music forever, because with it, they also give me in a way the feeling that the title describes. Freedom. I wish I could explain it better.
【 'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!' - Band-Maid 】🕊️
I'll just say it. People might be fooled by the silly maid costumes and their dorky way of just having fun on stage but... BAND-MAID is possibly the best rock band out there in this moment.
Definitely the best girl band. They're super talented with their instruments and creative with their songs, Saiki vocals are amazing on top of that while they're all also having fun on stage.
For me, it can't get any better than that.
They are great and even better Live!(as you can see and hear) . I soo much want to see them Live!
The transition between the drum solo to the lead guitar is absolutely epic!
The word that comes to mind is "organic unity". The sum of their combined talent is so much more, and it keeps evolving! To make a point, I remember being at a concert of Ten Years After, in the seventies. Alvin Lee, the guitarist was considered one of the fastest and most talented player of the time. But his drummer and his bass player sounded no better than stand in's. They were extra's so he wouldn't be alone on the stage, it felt like. Played great songs, but I was put off seeing this. No chemistry at all.
Well, this is the other end of the rainbow. The seamlessness of the ladies playing and giving each other the spotlight is amazing. The effortless cohesiveness of Bandmaid are a miracle to me, no less. And in the same way the uniqueness of Babymetal baffles me. Thank you, Japan!
Organic unity is a wonderful way to describe it! That's absolutely perfect.
Oh, OOF.. I can imagine that would be quite an off-putting experience, the chemistry of a live show is exactly why we go to them in the first place, is it not? That and to share a room with some of your idols but lacking the chemistry you may as well listen to it at home IMO. I suppose it makes you appreciate shows like this even more, as you say, it really is effortless for them to be this good, this entertaining and this commanding of the crowd, as well as remembering to have fun and just enjoy the experience together as friends. It's a beautiful sight to behold and really drives home the desire to go and see them live as soon as possible!
I'm WITH you there. Thank you INDEED, Japan!
Have a wonderful weekend, my friend! Thank you much for this :)
I now believe that Kanami is a musical savant. It explains so much. And
she is surrounded by sufficient talent to translate her constant stream of creativity into wonderful performances of outstanding songs. Band-Maid getting together was a miracle, their growth and development another. The future will take them into areas no band has ever been before. Their individual talent is stupendous.
If their music makes you smile, you know A LOT about them!
There is so much to talk about with this band and this song in particular. I was happy that you picked up some of the things that I do, but very few other reactors mention. The joy of playing together shows in all of the girls' faces as they interact. And you are right about the transition from the drum solo into the guitar work. It is such a wondrous bit of musical composition flawlessly performed. Another thing about BAND-MAID, is that on many of their songs, there is a part where the instruments pull back in effect giving Saiki her own solo as she sings. One thing that I'm not sure if you caught it because you were focused on Akane, you can see the silhouettes of Kanami and Miku down front clapping and cheering her on during the solo. By the way, the Small Pigeon now has her own signature guitar. Zemaitis recently released a very limited run of beautiful Miku Kobato "Flappy Pigeon" guitars. Trogly, a dude who buys and sells guitars through his reverb store, bought 4 of them and is selling them online for about $6000 which is actually a pretty good price when you consider that Zemaitis is asking about $5000 for them in Japan and you would have to pay for the shipping and duties if you import one yourself. They are beautiful with the metal face engraved with pigeons (1 large one and about 70 or so around the outer edge) and flower inlays of abalone. I don't know if they are worth that price because you can buy the ones she plays on stage for much less.
Rick, bro.. you always come in with a dope comment, dude. Thank you so much!
This honestly excites me for a totally different reason.. lol! I can barely play guitar to save my life.. HOWEVER.. it gives me hope that there may be signature Akane stuff out/in the works..? I'm gonna hit up google in a sec here and find out lol! I'm trying to save to get myself a drum kit again, FINALLY after about 6 years of being without my own
Great reaction. "Freedom" is one their earlier songs and they've been playing it well for years, but this rendition is next level. Misa's bass really carries the song in a subtly brilliant manner. Akane's drum solo is a show stealer. The transition to Kanami's guitar solo was sublime. Band Maid is one of those elite bands where their live versions consistently surpass the studio versions. Their music literally gets my heart pumping every time I listen, and I can't say that about any other group.
During the May 10 online concert they ran all over the studio playing this while the camera crew chased them to close the show, just crazy fun.
Whoever thought to set it up so they could get down off the stage and right in amongst the crew is a genius. The May 10th show was such a blast, I felt like I was right there with them.
This is by far their favorite song to play. I think it's the only one that's been played at every concert they've done (since it was written). They have alot of fun with it, as you were noticing. Kanami (guitar) was trolling Miku (rhythm guitar) because apparently last time they played the song she messed up some section of it so Kanami was watching her super closely to make sure she didn't again, all jokes of course. Then you get Saiki (vocals) and MISA (bass) crowding around Akane to make faces at her. They do that quite a bit in their concerts, making funny faces at each other to see if they can screw each other up. You can see Akane do a gorilla face back at them, because they call her Gorilla in the band, both for how she wails on the drums and because of her love of bananas.
I already gave alot of suggestions for future songs. I won't further add to the pile that's already there. Just enjoy the ride!
Big ol' smile on my face finding this out haha! There's not a lot of things that make me smile faster than seeing amazing music being made by amazing people in the most fun way possible. Absolutely warms my heart!
By the way, thank you for such a relaxing stream last night, brother. I apologise for being a heavy lurker but that was such a nice way to chill. Have a great weekend, bro!
@@Chief322 Thanks a ton for stopping by. I completely was so into the game I didn't piece together it was you. I feel like such a dolt now!
@@darkchiron LOL! Dude, not at all
@@Chief322 I appreciate all the kind words. I hope you're enjoying the weekend as well.
Request for Play live and Domination live
This is exactly how I felt the first time I heard them.
I think possibly, the most beautiful part of Band-Maid's "Solos" in songs, is that they're very often never fully solo - all the girls work so damn well together, giving each other the spotlight when appropriate, and then hanging back to support the next in turn. Its never a power play for attention, it's more of a beautiful highlight.
Right. Transitions... vocals... bass lines. So, should we tell him? Will it break him? Chance it... Chief, "Moratorium (live)". What happens next is up to you. Cheers.
Awesome! That was one of the top reactions I've seen thus far, ha! Epic time with you chief
Thank you, bro. I honestly really appreciate that :) You absolute star. Have a great day, brother :)
My favorite Bandmaid song is Blooming it’s a great song. Other great live songs I would recommend are Domination, Moritorium, Play, Wonderland, and My secret lips!!
I feel the same. I love all of their music, but Blooming is special.
Akane. This drum solo and her smiles, make me smile, even when my health is in the garbage. Yep Band-Maid makes me feel good even when I feel like hell. They lighten my soul..
Now knowing you’re a drummer I’d recommend you listen to Lovebites, “A Frozen Serenade.” In particular to Haruna’s playing in the various parts of the song. At the beginning she sets down a really great groove and is right in the pocket. The final fast part of the song is nothing short of mesmerizing. I’m a drummer/percussionist, as well as a few other instruments, and her speed and polyrhythms are great!
I love how much fun they have on stage with each other.
Happy New Year. 🎉
A-chan steals the show rightfully, but listen closely to MISA's bass lines, one of her best works.
Band Maid...simply the best! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
The "small pigeon" interview is hilarious! It was actually that, more than the first time hearing them, that got me into them the most!
Check out Secret Maiko Lips next, it's Band Maid goodness with traditional japanese instruments
If you have not heard, Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin fame saw one of Band-Maids shows and was so impressed by Akane the drummer that he had to go back stage after the show to meet her and get a picture with her. He stated she was one of the best drummers he has ever heard live, that includes John Bonham!! We you get that kind of validation from a musician like Jimmy Page, your good!! The picture with Akane and Jimmy Page is out there on the internet, check it out. Love your reactions, like your style dude!!
three things: 1. dude we hate you, keep going back as much as you want relive that magic that flows thru you, 2. dude you keep watching these ladies play, your gonna need more than that snow cap on ur head, need a thick parka to keep the chills out ( but i think you rather enjoy those chills like we all do)and C. i see no other male band with this much energy and passion for their fans, fuck i wanna see a rock band kick a speaker down smash their electric guitar like it means nothing to them, hope and pray this band rejuvenates more young people to rock like they do. “‘were not worthy, were not worthy lol”’
this particular concert produced my favorite version of "domination" cant go back to the MV after watching that.
Akane is the goddess of thunder ⚡️
I realize I'm very late to this party but I feel the need to add my 2 cents.
My favorite part of this song is the " hand-off" between the drum solo and the guitar solo. It was absolutely the most flawless hand-off I have ever heard. The call and response between the drums and the guitars blew me away, and then there was this one note that hit right at the start of the lead guitar solo, it was perfect. It really shows how talented and musically inclined these young ladies truly are. Prodigies they are.
NO GOD live, the official video. Misa will impress you.
Jimmy Page was right mate - she is one of the world's best! But then they are all hugely talented and very comfortable together. Kinemi as composer and lead guitar is content to give everyone a share of the limelight - there are no egos on stage. Kinemi by the way says Misa has the most perfect sense of rythm and she does not use a click track.
Yes! The lack of ego really is something that leapt out at me straight away AND made me love them SO much immediately. It's the same in the interviews I've seen too, they're quick to compliment each other, they have hilarious banter and just don't take themselves too seriously. It's honestly such an appealing quality.. as you obviously know lol!
Honestly bro.. the more I watch Misa, the more I adore her, her raw talent (not to detract from her hard work) is absolutely off the scale, she comes across so humble and quiet but absolutely confident in herself, her ability and who she is as a person. It's inspirational tbh.
This entire experience just feels so refreshing!
Sorry her name is Kanami, greetings.
This video was my introduction to BAND-MAID and I’ve listened to their music nearly every day since. I’m glad you mentioned MISA here since her base line is basically carrying this song along while the others get their chance to shine. Akane doesn’t solo very often but when she does, look out. They always have so much fun on stage. Here’s a fan cam video where everyone takes a turn on the drums - Kanami of course steals the show:
ruclips.net/video/Zu3kkzWf7qU/видео.html
Wow! What an introduction! If you hadn't carried on listening from this starting point, I'd have possibly had to question your well-being lol!! Yeah, I'm finding myself more and more amazed by Misa the more I watch. It's amazing to me to see her being so reserved and humble off the stage but shine so bright and be such a force on stage.
Loved that video btw, bro! Thank you, that was awesome haha!
@@Chief322 no problem mate! Yes, they do seem to take delight in teasing Kobato.
Yeah! and keep an eye on Kanami. She is absolutely pissing herself the whole time. These girls are precious.
Just look at the happy faces Akane is making, while beating the Absolute Shit out of those drums. It just makes me happy!!
B-M does the best music I've heard in my life, rock or not. It's just full of flavor, always surprising and interesting to the ear. I've never felt a thing was my thing as much as their sound.
One of the reasons I say they are the best band on Earth is because you can pick less than ten songs from other bands and that's it, but with Band-Maid you can literally make daily reactions for 1/3 of a year and don't get bored. Individually there might be better or more skilled musicians but as a whole pack they're the best, of course imo.
Now after my love letter, here are some bands and songs you might've not reacted yet: Yousei Teikoku - ~Hametuno Tategoto, Unlucky Morpheus - Black Pentagram, Uroboros - Black Swallowtail.
If you're up for a funky change Bradio - Back To The Funk/Golden Liar is a must
A wonderfully accurate love letter, imo! A joy to read, my friend :) Thank you!
Unlucky Morpheus is coming real soon but the others I'll add to the list and they'll work their way up for SURE. Thank you, Yeray. I appreciate you, my friend!
Kanami is a genius, she writes there music, and Miku and Saiki write the lyrics, then they all get together to set the arrangement, BUT, after all that Kanami has said that Misa then just does Misa
All their stuff, video clips or live is awesome. Saiki on lead vox, lyrics by Miku, rhythm gtr , Kanami on lead writes all music parts. Drums Akane , Bassist Misa are awesome players too. Been together 7yrs

MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!!! 🥃🥃🥃 Akane is a drumming 🥁 Beast in this video and MISA is present from start to finish 🤙🏼🙂
Thank you for this video. Now you've finally seen the way these girls feed off the energy of the crowd. They all smile and have fun. Most bands have fake smiles but you can see the pure love and enjoyment they have playing. Also, no matter how much I love this song, listen on CD is a disappointment not having the drum solo. It flows with the song and when everyone joins back in is flawless. I don't know if you've noticed yet, but MISA plays barefoot. There are times I've seen pictures with her wearing shoes and it's like seeing a unicorn...magical. 😁 If you were to do a reaction to every song, one a day, you'd have enough content for 3 months. That doesn't even include the live versions. You've done 7 reactions to these lovely ladies so far. You haven't even heard the best stuff yet. There's Real Existence, Daydreaming, YOLO, Don't you tell ME (the MV is really cute and shows their personalities, it was also the 2nd video I saw and that's when I fell in love with them), Alone, Blooming, Rock in me (Miku sings this happy little song and you get a feeling of how the band would have sounded if she remained the lead singer), Bubble, Domination (both MV and live, although the MV has terrible sound quality) and another favorite of mine Choose Me. I could go on, but anything you listen to or watch is never a bad choice. Thanks for the shout out...no longer a virgin in that area 👍🤘. Keep rocking and stay safe. It's nice, here in the US we are finally able to go out without having to mask up. Life is finally getting back to the before times. Looking forward to the next video. Have a great day, week and month.
congrats one reaching over 1 thousand subscribers. A request for Love Bites \\When Destinies Align//
when you think of drummers like john bonham, ian pace, neil peart, lars from metallica, you understand how good akane really is.
Can't speak for others, but I actually like that you pause at key points to talk about what you like. If I want to watch all the way through, I go to the main video. If I'm on a reaction video I want reactions! And pausing then replaying is the best way in my opinion 🤗 do you, mate, it's working
Personally for me 'Manners' is where Akane really shines. She doesn't do any solos on that song but her drums are just so clean, tasteful, simple yet complex at the same time ... The drums are always a major part of 'the backbone' of rock songs, but I've never heard a song where the drums were so much the rhythm backbone and also almost a lead instrument ... Akane is the 'Stephane Grappelli' of drums!!!
They performed this song as the finale of the Day of Maid live stream (about 3 weeks ago). What a fun that was😝 Not only Maids, but staff members were having fun🎉🥳😝😍🧨
I really wished I were there with them🥺 (P_O)🕊💕
Again, please pause and rewind as many times as you like my friend! Your appreciation for what you are seeing is always evident and your reactions are incredibly genuine and heart-felt. So, do as you please with the pause and rewind!
You mentioned the bass line - Band Maid dropped a new Live video a few days ago (I'm certain the Band Maid army has already alerted you). It's their Live performance of No God (ruclips.net/video/nAdWnIRjGak/видео.html). Misa goes between picking and slapping flawlessly - you can see that when she goes to slap, she grabs her pick with her index finger (kind of wedges it between the tip of her finger and the base of her finger (for the anatomically inclined, it's between the distal phalanx and the proximal phalanx), and plucks with her middle and ring fingers. I'm not quite sure how she goes back to picking and transfers the pick back to between her index finger and thumb without dropping her pick on the stage....but good drums and great bass. Stay well and stay safe.
I am late to this party and a new subscriber. Being a musician yourself, you probably noticed many little nuances. If you listen closely after the solo after Akane's solo it is the bass that first brings in the riff coming out of the drum solo section and into the guitar solo. For me Band Maid has brought fun back into heavy music. Watching Akane smiling and laughing after the solo brings tears to my eyes. I don't know why. During the drum solo watching Kanami and Miku cheering for her, clapping their hands and pumping their fists, again, just warms my heart. It is so refreshing to see a band when the members actually look like they genuinely like and care about each other. This is outside of the obvious musicianship. What I always tell people who have never heard them is Band Maid is not a style or genre, Band Maid is a sound. I am not going to lie. They are not hard to look at either. They are also a breath of fresh air from ugly guys dressed in black who scowl and play as fast as they can and play every riff that they know in less than a minute. Great fantastic reaction. Cheers.
And that my new fellow maidiac is one reason akane is the gorilla...saiki is the ice princess...kanami is the princess due to i believe that's what her name means please let me know if i'm wrong about that...miku as you know is the small pigeon and misa is the barefoot assassin keep up the great work blessed be
Well said. Well said. Your sentiments reflect every Band-Maid fan. And yeah MISA'S bass is a little low in the mix compared to other videos that are no longer available. But if you're really paying close attention, she's all over the place the whole song. Synced to Akane and the melody most of the time.
Hey Chief--welcome welcome "po", I see that you're continuing on getting more exposure to the radiance of Band Maid! I love it when Saiki yells at the crowd during the intros hyping them up, then launching into her vocals. This is one of those Kanami odes to a balls out classic rock intro and you're so right-what a groove! Along with the contagious, happy vibe that Mr. Port and Mr. Holloway wrote about so well earlier, it just makes it a pleasure to see this again! Miku and Saiki's vocals are just so tight, pretty and dynamic. Akane-OMG is indeed a QUEEN, smiling as she is just destroying us with her intensity...it's sheer alchemy on display Chief! I can't write about the overall encompassing realm of the band any better than Mr. Page-so what he said!
As Jiggle wrote, if you want to hear one of the most captivating ballads ever I suggest Daydreaming...but will also say "Play" Live is a good call as well. (Misa Misa and Akane will say hi) I also recommend watching the "Blooming" official vid---a complete tour de force song soon! Such a songwriting masterpiece, of course one of many. Kanami's solos are so melodic, soaring and breathtaking. Then so is the one in Daydreaming! Enjoy mate!
I always think that their live video should be separated to five members each. Whole members' play worth seeing and listening. I saw their live once in Japan and was so embarrassed that I didn't know where my eyes kept focussed. That was my first overseas live concert and worthy of every penny!
Jimmy Page adore Akane playing, n Akane get influeced by Nao (Maximum the Hormone drummer) hell yeah 🤘🏿
Try the Bandmaid song Don’t You Tell Me live version because it has an awesome bass vs guitar duel that is fantastic!!!
DID YOU HEAR THE BASS CHORDS DURING THE SLOW DOWN ? I have not heard this until now ( which does not mean it was the first time a bass palyer did it ). Se is so good.
I've seen some great drummers play live - Keith Moon, John Bonham, Ginger Baker - but none of them looked as happy as Akane does in this great performance. All the videos from this 2020 concert are amazing and give different members of the band a chance to strut their stuff. Of the other four that are available - PLAY: ruclips.net/video/3LxX_t4vg7U/видео.html , CHOOSE ME: ruclips.net/video/HcqitbXgigU/видео.html , DOMINATION: ruclips.net/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/видео.html and WONDERLAND: ruclips.net/video/x4hxLeHbqZo/видео.html , I love Wonderland for the way Saiki gets to show off her vocal power, though Domination is where they all get to show off! You're going to need about 20 pauses to react to Domination - which none of us mind as we've all seen the video, so no need to keep apologising. Hell, at least you rewind every time, which makes a big difference as the run-up is an essential part of the explosion that follows! If you have a 6 year old running around, I'd recommend showing them Gimme Chocolate or Doki Doki Morning by Babymetal. They're both cuteAF and a great introduction to Metal at that age - kinda like a My Little Mosh Pit!
5:45 Sometimes they try to make the drummer laugh during the live, making funny faces laugh at each other so that the audience can't see them.
If you want a real 'WOW I was not expecting that' moment, try 'About Us' Official Live version. Shows a different side to the band.
Akane. So good even Jimmy Page had to have his picture with her ! twitter.com/JimmyPageNews/status/798242289596264449/photo/1
Every time I watch this I love the view of Akane from her right side during her solo, it really shows off the speed that she is drumming across her kit. The transistion from drum solo to guitar solo is a great example of Kanami's song writing genius. Love Band Maid !!
Nice video
Take a deep breath and you will be OK....lol Akane is a "BEAST" (aka "Gorilla"). This is one of my favorite drum solos ever! Thanks for the reaction! You know a band is great when you can't understand any of the words and they have you totally captivated!
Yoyoka reacts will also increase your views and subs. In fact any Japanese (and other Asian Countries) Girl Bands or Girl Musicians. A super hot bed of talent.
(DRUMMERS: Yoyoka, Senri Kawaguchi, Akane Hirose, Murata Tamu, Kanede Sato, Tarn Softwhip, and many more ) (BANDS: BabyMetal, Band Maids, LoveBites and many more). (GUITARISTS: YOYO, Li-sa-X) These are also must sees.

Q. How can you fall in love with 5 women at the same time?
A. BAND-MAID.
Let me make it clear I'm not a drummers little finger, but I feel that through that whole transition into the guitar solo, Akane is still playing the drum solo. She doesn't drop back into the pocket until Kanami actually starts her guitar solo proper. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. It's just how it feels to me.
Cool reaction excellent song to . I know what you mean man they rock . I am curious about what your niece might think about Band Maid .
So Good ! 😆😆😆
I liked to see you enjoy BAND-MAID, I discovered them five months ago and they still blow my mind when I listen to them (especially MISA hehehe) because the bass / drums duo seems to me the closest thing to a steamroller, but since you are a drummer, I think you will also like "The Warning", three Mexican sisters who started about 6 or 7 years ago and are about to release their 3rd album, the remarkable thing is that currently the guitarist and lead singer is 21 years old, the drummer is 19 and also the singer in several songs and the bass player is 16, you can see how old they were when they started.
Ah! all the songs on their albums have been written by themselves and Paulina, the drummer, is a spectacle, but the three of them are pure passion when they play ;)
I leave you the link of the first thing I saw of them, it's the end of their 2nd TEDx talk at the University of Nevada in January 2017, they were 17, 14 and 12 years old, performing the song "Survive", written by them, from the album they would release that same year (the 1st) and you don't expect to see some "girls" playing rock hehehehe.

And also from the video they released a week ago as a preview of their third album.

As I know they are blocking this one from UMG :( I leave you the one of the performance they did from "The Cave", the studio they have in the basement of their house in Monterrey just the same day the video was released, without any attachments, the three of them with their instruments and without any production, what it sounds like is what they play ;)

You might enjoy Bridear - give "Bloody Bride" a listen. Cheers 🤘
It might be fun for a change of pace to look at some of the acoustic versions with Kanami and Saiki or Rock in Me or Time where Miku takes lead vocals.
I suggest Decayed Crow from Dir en Grey.
One of the best japanese bands.
Their drummer are good too.
Show your niece some BABYMETAL she’ll probably like it nice reaction I enjoyed it
If you don't know who Yoyoka is you need to check her out. Already becoming a world phenom at 11 yo. Already made the DrummerWorld Top 500 of All Time (at age 11 - youngest ever!). Has been playing live (paid) gigs since age 4. Very well respected in the drumming community. List of accomplishments is too long. Check out her cover of "Burn" to start. ruclips.net/video/uhzX9QbH3js/видео.html Then basically anything she plays. Make sure you're prepared to go down that rabbit hole. She's unbelievable.
I feel like your niece needs to know about Band Maid. Probably Lovebites too, especially if she's at the age where their princess-y outfits are likely to appeal to her.
Great reaction as always when you react to Band Maid! Quick question...as you are a drummer, are you a Neil Peart fan?
Band Maid make us FREE!!!
Well, you are after all looking at one of the best female drummers on earth, so🤷♂️
Reaction next station after BandMaid: LoveBite (Another amazing Japan Metal)
The easy cure for saying 'I'm sorry for pausing so much' is to not pause so much.
If I want to have no pauses, I watch the original. In a reaction video I want to see the reaction, and there the pauses are appropriate.
