Tony Visconti: "I love the originality of BAND Maid. It was like a dream come true to meet them. During recording Miku and Saiki sang for 8 eights straight. I don't know many artists with that kind of stamina. I was taken a back by their professionalism. They definite met my expectations." From JRock News November 2019. Something to aspire too!!
I like this song. It shows their diverse appearance. In Japan, singers and actors tend to hate talking about politics and society. The song is not political, but it shows that they live in this world and are interested in society. I think it's wonderful that women in maid clothes talk about society and our future. BAND MAID isn't just about cute hard rock. It is an independent band in today's society.
People get so caught up in how good they are the music and they don't even listen to the lyrics. If you don't feel this you don't feel nothing.. these ladies actually change my life
Yep, love this song. You got the gist of the sound, it is 1960's/70's psychedelic bluesy Hendrix etc. I have seen some comments in past months since this came out last February that they don't think this is Band-Maid's sound. In a way they are right because this was produced by Visconti. But I say that BM hit this on the nail. This is BM, they can do anything. Heck, Saiki sang in all-English. You never know what subgenres they will do next. Of course, it's still going to be within the rock genre though, you're not going to see them doing western Opera, EDM, Mongolian throat singing, or U.S. country/western. Or maybe they can, they've already done traditional Japanese influences with their Band-Maiko alterego.
Not many people consider this to be a good song, they confuse listening to the song with the video! In Japanese culture, dragons represent wisdom. The video that you see is a metaphor as an outcome of our decisions we made throughout the years that has compromised everything around us. Every decade it worsens, the dragon (life) cries, the dragon flies simply means that the wisdom we perceive continues in a negative fashion
The ability to sing songs on social topics impresses me. The song is interesting in design and performance. I watched and listened to you guys with pleasure. Thank you.
Some people didn't like this song but I enjoyed it very much. I totally agree with you and I've said in the past, it reminds me of some Hendrix song. I really like how Kanami gets her influence from old style rock and roll. I guess that is why I'm so drawn to Band-Maid.
You've already heard it some with "Manners", but MIku's vocals seem to be getting featured a lot more on the new Unseen World album, including a lot of shouts, yells, and weird sounds.
Love the weird sounds in manners. Honestly speaking I love manners way more than this. The dragon cries sounds a bit over simplified and sound like western hard rock.
This might be Miku's first mini solo (at 9:59-10:00 min mark). Glad she's given more to do. MISA is easily the bassist I've ever heard! Kanami is my 2nd fave guitarist (behind Hendrix)
Their music on this song makes one have Hope in spite of the misery in the world caused by our own faults so it is ok to feel upbeat in spite of the mess we are in. We can fix it. Hey, Band Maid is always optimistic so give me a break here. haha. They play like superwomen but deep down inside they feel just like the rest of us mortals...can't help but love them
Nobody really knows when this song got its meaning. They had some original lyrics, which got replaced for the current fully English lyrics by an associate of Tony Visconti (who always has to be referred to as 'legendary producer Tony Visconti') but there's no information about what the original ones were about, or even what the guy who wrote these lyrics wanted it to be about. Nobody seemed to have a clue what the song was about until the video came out, but whether the video was the director's interpretation of the song, the original sentiment behind the song, or the lyric writer's intention...nobody knows. It makes the song...mysterious.
Fck yeah double BAND-MAID week! This was another reaction I was really looking forward to. A lot of times this song kind of shocks people because they're like wtf this is BAND-MAID? Because if the sound they capture here. Like you guys said 70s rock sound. Now I guess since they dropped Manners and everyone's been listening to it this song sounds less surprising since they capture that 70s tone and rock groove in that song. I saw someone mention in the comments this song was Manners beta test lol so funny. Thanks again for another awesome video!
Great reaction guys!! You really should check out BAND-MAID's song "flying high". It's my favorite hard-rock song by them. For me, it's even better than "Manners". And the latter is a great song too. But "flying high" 😍
Kind of weird knowing you guys already did this before Manners. Haha. To be honest this was the only song I would skip on their Conqueror album... but they performed it live at Line Cube Shibuya on V-Day last year (where their live videos come from)... and it was sooooooo gooood. They really are a live band. The Akane-MISA drum/bass section before the solo was amazing. And yeah Manners might have taken some ideas from here but left this song in the dust. So we mention the legendary producer Tony Visconti. He basically produced this song for them... and we don’t know exactly what the girls thought about it other than the amazing learning opportunity presented to them. What is almost without argument is that they went on to do 2 other songs completely on their own inspired by this one - Flying High and Manners - and those 2 songs are way better according to the vast majority of listeners.
nice reaction ,Goooood reaction⚡️thank you dragon crys my favorite song‼️ you can of course listen to this song on MV, but if you listen to it live, it will be one hundred times more impressive than MV. it's really goose pimples⚡️ ホント、染みるぜ~~~~~~~~~~~~💗👍
many people complained about excessive compression in this video... I didn't like this studio version at first but it started growing on me when I saw it being performed live.
I totally agree it's definitly Hard Rock at its finest and i also love that Misa always has the best unique Bass distortion for each different Song and i also get a Jimi Hendrix vibe and if you can hear a double high vocal note in a Band Maid Song i can assure you Alan it's Miku's Voice harmonized with Saiki's And YES Miku definitly knows how to whisper in a sexy/flirty/attractive way 😏😁 Great Reaction as always 😎👍🏻🤘🏻
Kanami was shredding over MISA and Akane's funky beat, it's a hard rock with Jazz formula, And I remember seeing someone reaction crying over the visual, they show someone died onscreen,
I do like the idea of them trying what I guess you could consider a more American style rock sound, but it's not my favorite. This song however, I think is what led to Manners. And yeah... Miku whispering... 😍
Well this is a great song, it does tell the story of human destruction, with Japanese wisdom as in the Dragon. This is not a song from BANDMAID, a New York record producer flow Miku and Saiki to New York to work on this song. Oh yeah the producers name is Tony Viscott, as the song seen old as he has been in music for a while, one guy he had in his stable was David Bowie.
@@dicodec from wikipedia "His first hit single was T. Rex's "Ride a White Swan" in 1970, the first of many hits in collaboration with Marc Bolan. Visconti's lengthiest involvement was with David Bowie: intermittently from the production and arrangement of Bowie's 1968 single "In the Heat of the Morning" / "London Bye Ta-Ta" to the 2016 release Blackstar, Visconti produced and occasionally performed on many of Bowie's albums.[3] Visconti's work on Blackstar was cited in its Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical and his production of Angelique Kidjo's Djin Djin was cited in its Grammy Award for Best Contemporary World Music Album. One of his first production projects in England was with the British outfit Tyrannosaurus Rex (later to become T. Rex) on their debut album My People Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair... But Now They're Content to Wear Stars on Their Brows (1968). This began a relationship with T. Rex that would last for their next eight albums, and eleven UK Top Ten singles in a row, commencing with "Ride a White Swan" (1970). One of Visconti's greatest successes was Electric Warrior (1971), the album that made T. Rex frontman Marc Bolan a superstar and cemented Visconti's producing prowess. More early production work included David Bowie's second album (1969), and for the Welsh group The Iveys (later known as Badfinger). He produced several tracks for the Iveys' first LP Maybe Tomorrow (1969) and Magic Christian Music (1970), released on The Beatles' Apple label. He produced the first two albums by influential progressive rock band Gentle Giant. Shortly afterwards, Visconti began to work again with David Bowie and, along with guitarist Mick Ronson and drummer John Cambridge, formed and toured with the band The Hype in which he played bass. Although the band name would be very short-lived, most of the line-up persisted and - with Woody Woodmansey replacing Cambridge - would go on to record the seminal album and single The Man Who Sold the World in 1970.[3][7] He would further go on to work on the albums Diamond Dogs (1974), Young Americans (1975), Low (1977), "Heroes" (1977), Lodger (1979), Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) (1980), Heathen (2002), Reality (2003), The Next Day (2013) and Blackstar (2016). Visconti scored the orchestral arrangements for Paul McCartney and Wings' 1973 album Band on the Run. He later produced two albums for the Moody Blues, The Other Side of Life (1986), and Sur La Mer (1988). In 1990, he produced several tracks on the Moody Blues' Keys of the Kingdom album (1991), Luscious Jackson's Electric Honey, Leisure Noise by Gay Dad, Soul Caddy for Cherry Poppin' Daddies and Dawn of Ananda for Annie Haslam. In 1997, Visconti produced the debut album of The Stone Roses member John Squire's new band, The Seahorses entitled Do It Yourself. In the 2000s Visconti renewed his association with David Bowie, producing the albums Heathen in 2002, and Reality in 2003. He produced and played bass on a handful of tracks from The Dandy Warhols 2003 album Welcome to the Monkey House. In 2003 he teamed up with the Finn Brothers (Neil and Tim of Crowded House and Split Enz fame) to record and produce their second collaborative album, eventually released in 2004. In 2004, he produced three songs on the Manic Street Preachers album Lifeblood. In 2005, he collaborated with Copenhagen band Kashmir, whose fifth album, No Balance Palace, featured David Bowie. He has also collaborated as co-writer and producer on the album project by Richard Barone. He worked in Rome and produced the #1 UK album by Morrissey, Ringleader of the Tormentors. In 2007 and 2008, Visconti was very active in the studio with Benin singer Angélique Kidjo, producing her Grammy-winning album Djin Djin. Guests artists include Alicia Keys, Peter Gabriel, Joss Stone, Josh Groban and Carlos Santana. He has also produced two albums at Saint Claire Recording Studio in Lexington, Kentucky: The Bright Lights of America by Pittsburgh punk band Anti-Flag and an album by Alejandro Escovedo called Real Animal released in June 2008. He produced the new No. 1 album (in France) by French artist Raphael in Paris and New York. He produced and mixed Kristeen Young album Music for Strippers, Hookers, and the Odd On-Looker, released in 2009 and arranged Fall Out Boy album Folie à Deux. 2010 marked the release of Richard Barone's Visconti-produced Glow album,[9] which includes five songs co-written with Barone and a remake of T. Rex's Girl. He also played bass, guitar, synth, and Stylophone on the album and performed live in concert with Barone on numerous occasions. Visconti produced the David Bowie album, The Next Day, and remixed and remastered both The Slider anniversary box set and Electric Warrior 40th anniversary boxed set by T. Rex. In 2013, he produced Solar Secrets by Capsula.[10] In 2014 Visconti produced and arranged several tracks on Marc Almond's album The Dancing Marquis. Almond has wanted to work with Visconti since hearing some of Visconti's earliest production work with T-Rex and David Bowie, stating "It was a dream to work with Tony".[11] In 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 Tony Visconti was a Jury member of the ANCHOR-Award linked to the Reeperbahn Festival. Visconti produced Bowie's final album, Blackstar, released on January 8, 2016.[12] In 2018, Visconti produced Evil Spirits for The Damned; their first album in 10 years. He also produced Merrie Land the new album by The Good, the Bad & the Queen (2018)."
The only thing I don’t like about this is the second verse of the lyrics, like Why?! I can excuse a lyricist who’s not a native English speaker coz its often a translation or cultural appropriation issue. But to be fluent and a native speaker at that, to write something so cringey and out of context sht like that boggles my mind. Or maybe he did that coz they’re Japanese anyways so whatever, you know Engrish right? That makes it even worse. Look at what Miku did with “Manners”. She can hardly speak some broken English but still managed to even do some nice wordplays while still keeping everything aligned with the overall message and attitude of the song. This is probably why I absolutely loved the live version of this coz I could hear less of that thanks to Saiki’s beautiful accent 🤣 No, seriously I really do like her accent. Sounds weirdly sexy to me. Its half the reason I keep replaying Black hole.
I thought this song sounded awesome at online live in December, but now that manners is out, I gotta say sorry to Tony Visconti. Manners is more interesting and exciting. But I think it's also because with English lyrics, it has the different rhythm and groove. Japanese language has this percussive quality to it and it's an essential part of ''b-m sound'' imo. Remember the German band Scorpion? I listened to one of their songs that was sung in German ages ago which sounded so chunky and heavy because of the tone and the rhythm of German. But once they became popular internationally and started singing in English with less accent, they somehow lost their edge. I listened to their other song with English lyrics and they sounded like any 80s metal bands. The same happened to 80s Japanese metal band Loudness. They sounded exactly like a generic 80s metal band. TDC is a undoubtedly great song but sounds too much like mainstream 70s hard rock.
The video makes this song very hard to enjoy. I get what the message is saying, but, man, I would rather the video be tied to either a sad-sounding song or an angry-sounding song. As it is, I just want to groove . . . and that's very hard with that imagery. Sonically, this and "Manners" are very similar, with that old school groovy sound. Love 'em both.
The song is not a political statemen t, but the video sure as hell is. They didn't write the lyrics, though, so who really knows? The saving grace of this song is that Kanami did the music and the band executed it perfectly.
how environmental problems could ever be political is beyhond me,,and i dont just mean your statement but world wide people on the right dismiss them for some reason,,,its not and should not be a political subject,,,the fact is we have and are destroying and poisoning the planet full stop,,,in 50yrs it wont matter your politics we will be fucked anyway
@@billrand4138 you’re right, the environment matters to all of us, and we are destroying our world if we don’t pull our heads out of the sand. I realized thar I hadn’t finished my thoughts after I hit send, but I fell back asleep before I got to edit my comment.
I dont think this comment will be seen, but I was hoping you could react to more Visual kei bands! The GazettE, Dir En Grey and such are considered the biggest in the Visual Kei scene as of now, so I was hoping you could give some well deserved attention to bands like Kiryu, Kizu and Deviloof!
We've reacted to quite a bit of these bands already. Bands like The Gazette we react to on Tuesday or Wednesday on twitch because those videos always get blocked. The only one we haven't reacted to is Kizu.
@@dicodec Oh, I see. Thank you so much! With your Kiryu reaction, I noticed that you picked a song that was considered rather tame for Kiryu's normal style. Would it be alright if you gave then another shot? I'd recommend Yuukaku-saikouchiku-, though it has no MV. Most of their heavier and more fun songs tend to be B-sides😅
I didn't like Dragon Cries, but I don't hate it either. This song is them experimenting with old school rock. Manners is basically the better sounding and more modernised style.
Because there is... This song was co-written and produced by Tony Visconti (David Bowie, T-Rex, The Damned etc.) HUGE producer, he actually stepped towards Band-Maid after an concert and asked them if they wanna do a song with him and that´s it :)
I love this song, but not the video that much. A little too political in the vid, but doesn't detract from the awesomeness of the song! I know some think we are killing the planet, but we hear and see that all the time, I don't listen to music for that. Music is an escape from that reality of life. Love Band-Maid, for sure!
This comment doesn't have anything to do with this song but, holy cow, did I see that you guy's have done a music video with the super hot Vivid Vision ??? If so, how did you guys pull that off, she is waaaay above your pay grade???
You guys are kind of loud and you're not even listening to a word I say. These ladies has become my best friends. Over the past five or six years. Y'all listen to the music and not to the words. Yeah they are good musicians and that's all you listening to. Shut your mouth and listen to the words of all of their songs... They are not only good musicians! They are a movement. Please just listen to what they're doing

True. And good point
Still, many people love this song!(me included)
@@realdocloco one of my favorite tunes as well, Kanami’s riffs are brilliant
The issue most people have with this song is the way it's mixed. They say it's has too much compression.
@@armynurseboy rather mastered than mixed but that's right
hi guys you know this track was produced by legendary producer Tony Visconti (David Bowie ) T.Rex ) the Damned ) etc .
We did not, it is a great song

That is awesome. We could all use some more Miku
Miku Kobato: guitar, backing vocals, lead vocals, and stunt vocals.
Love the weird sounds in manners. Honestly speaking I love manners way more than this. The dragon cries sounds a bit over simplified and sound like western hard rock.
This might be Miku's first mini solo (at 9:59-10:00 min mark). Glad she's given more to do.
MISA is easily the bassist I've ever heard! Kanami is my 2nd fave guitarist (behind Hendrix)
Very cool!
Whoa I never even noticed that was Miku's guitar, thanks for pointing that out!
Bro, seeing alan before reacting to band maid compare to now. He really become maidiac and exciting. Man keep it up alan and eric!!
He really has become a maidiac for sure haha. Thanks Jay!!
So true🤘🤘🤘
Their music on this song makes one have Hope in spite of the misery in the world caused by our own faults so it is ok to feel upbeat in spite of the mess we are in. We can fix it. Hey, Band Maid is always optimistic so give me a break here. haha. They play like superwomen but deep down inside they feel just like the rest of us mortals...can't help but love them

Yup yup, we had no clue until we got word that they dropped Manners haha. Yeah it is a bit of a change but it still sounds like them overall I think.
Great reaction guys!! You really should check out BAND-MAID's song "flying high". It's my favorite hard-rock song by them. For me, it's even better than "Manners". And the latter is a great song too. But "flying high" 😍
Flying High is awesome. I don’t think it gets the love it deserves.
Heck yes! We're down!
Probably one of my all times favorites song of them!
Another banger from Bandmaid
Most definitely!
Probably I'm with the minority but I freaking love this song so much! That bluesy and 70's sound is so fucking good!
Very dope!
Band Maid’s official MV for Warning! drops at 10.00 EST (15.00 GMT)
Yup yup! Gonna react later tonight
It's not a circle of life! "The Fenix flies" is devastating! When the bird of resurrection leaves us, then we have no more chances.
Got ya, I was guessing 🤷♂️
I took it to mean that the phoenix is taking flight after being born anew, so it's still hopeful.
Kind of weird knowing you guys already did this before Manners. Haha.

One of my favorites by them and an underrated one.
So weird. You think it sounds like western influenced or something? 🤔
When they harmonized They created a third singer MIKI SAIKU!😉 By the way am I the only one to have DEEP PURPLE vibe?
True haha. I can hear it too!
Another great reaction have guys ever listen to freezer or beauty and the beast no bid but these two songs are absolutely hard rock check em out
Thanks! We haven't but in sure we will get to them soon.
The Dragon Cries No More... The Phoenix is Flying!
Exactly!

I love this song. Kanami is just so incredible. Very Led Zeppliny, Seikei vocal trail off ala Plant.
For sure!!
Fantastic song. Mix could be better. In their concert in Line Cube Shibuya they nailed this song boosting it to the stars. Literally unbelievable.
Ah I see, very cool!
I'm sure you'll learn about Tony Visconti's involvement after this video.
Yup, plenty of people were sure to point it out haha.
Check Spotify. WARNING by Band Maid. If you liked After Life you'll need to change your underwear after WARNING. Almost speed metal.
Heck yes! We are ready!
I totally agree it's definitly Hard Rock at its finest and i also love that Misa always has the best unique Bass distortion for each different Song and i also get a Jimi Hendrix vibe and if you can hear a double high vocal note in a Band Maid Song i can assure you Alan it's Miku's Voice harmonized with Saiki's

Thank you 🙏 soo much for watching!

New MV in 30 minutes ^^

Oh dang

Thank you!
ライブ版を生で聞いた時の印象は全く別の曲です。
お給仕まだ未体験ですので、是非帰宅したいものです⚡️
@@mv3873 BAND-MAIDのお給仕(OKYU-JI)は素晴らしいの一言です。
特にAKANEとMISAのドラムとベースの低音の印象は全くCDとは異なりますし、ライブの為のスペシャルバージョンや古い曲のバージョンアップ、チューンアップもあり、いつも新しい発見があります。
そして、ライブ演奏の方が音がクリアーだったり、よりダイナミックだったりする事が多く、素晴らしい演奏に引き付けられてしまいます。
もちろん小鳩タイムも面白く、お呪いコーナーも異次元(?)の楽しさがあります。
実は渋谷ライブは2日とも帰宅しましたが、Dragon Cricsはチューンアップされてまるで別の曲のようになりましたし、輪廻も初日のエンディングと2日目のオープニングでスペシャルバージョンが披露されています。
しかも2回とも演奏が異なっていたので驚きました。初日はエンディング向けの拡張版、二日目はオープニング向けのイントロ版とでも言うべき内容でした。
海外のファンや高齢者や女性のファンも多く、メイド服にコスプレした若い女性や男性ファン( ! ! ! )、母親同伴の女児(当然のようにメイド服でした)もおり、忘れられない楽しい思い出になっています。
騙されたと思って帰宅してみるのも一興だと思います。
12月のオンラインお給仕のafter life の後のaloneのイントロは印象的でした~~💥

Visconti's lengthiest involvement was with David Bowie: intermittently from the production and arrangement of Bowie's 1968 single "In the Heat of the Morning" / "London Bye Ta-Ta" to the 2016 release Blackstar, Visconti produced and occasionally performed on many of Bowie's albums.[3] Visconti's work on Blackstar was cited in its Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical and his production of Angelique Kidjo's Djin Djin was cited in its Grammy Award for Best Contemporary World Music Album. One of his first production projects in England was with the British outfit Tyrannosaurus Rex (later to become T. Rex) on their debut album My People Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair... But Now They're Content to Wear Stars on Their Brows (1968). This began a relationship with T. Rex that would last for their next eight albums, and eleven UK Top Ten singles in a row, commencing with "Ride a White Swan" (1970). One of Visconti's greatest successes was Electric Warrior (1971), the album that made T. Rex frontman Marc Bolan a superstar and cemented Visconti's producing prowess.
More early production work included David Bowie's second album (1969), and for the Welsh group The Iveys (later known as Badfinger). He produced several tracks for the Iveys' first LP Maybe Tomorrow (1969) and Magic Christian Music (1970), released on The Beatles' Apple label. He produced the first two albums by influential progressive rock band Gentle Giant. Shortly afterwards, Visconti began to work again with David Bowie and, along with guitarist Mick Ronson and drummer John Cambridge, formed and toured with the band The Hype in which he played bass. Although the band name would be very short-lived, most of the line-up persisted and - with Woody Woodmansey replacing Cambridge - would go on to record the seminal album and single The Man Who Sold the World in 1970.[3][7] He would further go on to work on the albums Diamond Dogs (1974), Young Americans (1975), Low (1977), "Heroes" (1977), Lodger (1979), Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) (1980), Heathen (2002), Reality (2003), The Next Day (2013) and Blackstar (2016).
Visconti scored the orchestral arrangements for Paul McCartney and Wings' 1973 album Band on the Run. He later produced two albums for the Moody Blues, The Other Side of Life (1986), and Sur La Mer (1988).
In 1990, he produced several tracks on the Moody Blues' Keys of the Kingdom album (1991), Luscious Jackson's Electric Honey, Leisure Noise by Gay Dad, Soul Caddy for Cherry Poppin' Daddies and Dawn of Ananda for Annie Haslam. In 1997, Visconti produced the debut album of The Stone Roses member John Squire's new band, The Seahorses entitled Do It Yourself. In the 2000s Visconti renewed his association with David Bowie, producing the albums Heathen in 2002, and Reality in 2003.
He produced and played bass on a handful of tracks from The Dandy Warhols 2003 album Welcome to the Monkey House. In 2003 he teamed up with the Finn Brothers (Neil and Tim of Crowded House and Split Enz fame) to record and produce their second collaborative album, eventually released in 2004. In 2004, he produced three songs on the Manic Street Preachers album Lifeblood. In 2005, he collaborated with Copenhagen band Kashmir, whose fifth album, No Balance Palace, featured David Bowie. He has also collaborated as co-writer and producer on the album project by Richard Barone. He worked in Rome and produced the #1 UK album by Morrissey, Ringleader of the Tormentors. In 2007 and 2008, Visconti was very active in the studio with Benin singer Angélique Kidjo, producing her Grammy-winning album Djin Djin. Guests artists include Alicia Keys, Peter Gabriel, Joss Stone, Josh Groban and Carlos Santana. He has also produced two albums at Saint Claire Recording Studio in Lexington, Kentucky: The Bright Lights of America by Pittsburgh punk band Anti-Flag and an album by Alejandro Escovedo called Real Animal released in June 2008. He produced the new No. 1 album (in France) by French artist Raphael in Paris and New York. He produced and mixed Kristeen Young album Music for Strippers, Hookers, and the Odd On-Looker, released in 2009 and arranged Fall Out Boy album Folie à Deux. 2010 marked the release of Richard Barone's Visconti-produced Glow album,[9] which includes five songs co-written with Barone and a remake of T. Rex's Girl. He also played bass, guitar, synth, and Stylophone on the album and performed live in concert with Barone on numerous occasions.
Visconti produced the David Bowie album, The Next Day, and remixed and remastered both The Slider anniversary box set and Electric Warrior 40th anniversary boxed set by T. Rex. In 2013, he produced Solar Secrets by Capsula.[10]
In 2014 Visconti produced and arranged several tracks on Marc Almond's album The Dancing Marquis. Almond has wanted to work with Visconti since hearing some of Visconti's earliest production work with T-Rex and David Bowie, stating "It was a dream to work with Tony".[11]
In 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 Tony Visconti was a Jury member of the ANCHOR-Award linked to the Reeperbahn Festival.
Visconti produced Bowie's final album, Blackstar, released on January 8, 2016.[12]
In 2018, Visconti produced Evil Spirits for The Damned; their first album in 10 years. He also produced Merrie Land the new album by The Good, the Bad & the Queen (2018)."
Dragon Cries & Manners. Its like having a twin brother with one of them gets more attention than the other. Just saying.
True
The only thing I don’t like about this is the second verse of the lyrics, like Why?! I can excuse a lyricist who’s not a native English speaker coz its often a translation or cultural appropriation issue. But to be fluent and a native speaker at that, to write something so cringey and out of context sht like that boggles my mind. Or maybe he did that coz they’re Japanese anyways so whatever, you know Engrish right? That makes it even worse.
Look at what Miku did with “Manners”. She can hardly speak some broken English but still managed to even do some nice wordplays while still keeping everything aligned with the overall message and attitude of the song.
This is probably why I absolutely loved the live version of this coz I could hear less of that thanks to Saiki’s beautiful accent 🤣
No, seriously I really do like her accent. Sounds weirdly sexy to me. Its half the reason I keep replaying Black hole.
Thats fair. We feel the same mostly.
I thought this song sounded awesome at online live in December, but now that manners is out, I gotta say sorry to Tony Visconti. Manners is more interesting and exciting.
But I think it's also because with English lyrics, it has the different rhythm and groove.
Japanese language has this percussive quality to it and it's an essential part of ''b-m sound'' imo.
Remember the German band Scorpion? I listened to one of their songs that was sung in German ages ago which sounded so chunky and heavy because of the tone and the rhythm of German. But once they became popular internationally and started singing in English with less accent, they somehow lost their edge. I listened to their other song with English lyrics and they sounded like any 80s metal bands. The same happened to 80s Japanese metal band Loudness. They sounded exactly like a generic 80s metal band.
TDC is a undoubtedly great song but sounds too much like mainstream 70s hard rock.
It's a about time,
Right!!
The video makes this song very hard to enjoy. I get what the message is saying, but, man, I would rather the video be tied to either a sad-sounding song or an angry-sounding song. As it is, I just want to groove . . . and that's very hard with that imagery.
Sonically, this and "Manners" are very similar, with that old school groovy sound. Love 'em both.
I totally feel you on this
The song is not a political statemen t, but the video sure as hell is. They didn't write the lyrics, though, so who really knows? The saving grace of this song is that Kanami did the music and the band executed it perfectly.
People confuse political with environmental because politicians use and bend environmental issues for their own agenda.
how environmental problems could ever be political is beyhond me,,and i dont just mean your statement but world wide people on the right dismiss them for some reason,,,its not and should not be a political subject,,,the fact is we have and are destroying and poisoning the planet full stop,,,in 50yrs it wont matter your politics we will be fucked anyway
@@billrand4138 you’re right, the environment matters to all of us, and we are destroying our world if we don’t pull our heads out of the sand. I realized thar I hadn’t finished my thoughts after I hit send, but I fell back asleep before I got to edit my comment.
@@ronaldbowers2240 my txt was more to do with the origional op than you :)
I dont think this comment will be seen, but I was hoping you could react to more Visual kei bands! The GazettE, Dir En Grey and such are considered the biggest in the Visual Kei scene as of now, so I was hoping you could give some well deserved attention to bands like Kiryu, Kizu and Deviloof!
We've reacted to quite a bit of these bands already. Bands like The Gazette we react to on Tuesday or Wednesday on twitch because those videos always get blocked. The only one we haven't reacted to is Kizu.
@@dicodec Oh, I see. Thank you so much!
With your Kiryu reaction, I noticed that you picked a song that was considered rather tame for Kiryu's normal style. Would it be alright if you gave then another shot? I'd recommend Yuukaku-saikouchiku-, though it has no MV. Most of their heavier and more fun songs tend to be B-sides😅
I didn't like Dragon Cries, but I don't hate it either. This song is them experimenting with old school rock. Manners is basically the better sounding and more modernised style.
We each have our taste fam. I feel you.
From what i read...its about the destruction of the earth...the dragon (mother earth) is sad...i sensed strong American influence...
Hmmmm
Because there is... This song was co-written and produced by Tony Visconti (David Bowie, T-Rex, The Damned etc.) HUGE producer, he actually stepped towards Band-Maid after an concert and asked them if they wanna do a song with him and that´s it :)
@@Slippy6582 iT's HARD to get a correct story and re-tell iT properly, eh?
Electric ladyland😀
Nani?
@@dicodec Na, I was thinking of how the guitar reminds me a bit of hendrix.
I love this song, but not the video that much. A little too political in the vid, but doesn't detract from the awesomeness of the song! I know some think we are killing the planet, but we hear and see that all the time, I don't listen to music for that. Music is an escape from that reality of life. Love Band-Maid, for sure!
Thats fair. Yeah this song is dope for sure
yes it's a question WHY?
???
iCan answer that, but this is neither The TIME, nor The Place!
This comment doesn't have anything to do with this song but, holy cow, did I see that you guy's have done a music video with the super hot Vivid Vision ??? If so, how did you guys pull that off, she is waaaay above your pay grade???
She and Alan had know eachother for about a year and we will help eachother out from time to time.
Please Before Yesterday & Fate
Down and down!
Soo much Jimi Hendrix vibe
Agreed!
Please react to songs from zutomayo like milabo, byoushin wo kamu, hunch gray
Sure thing!
Dicodec 😊
Can You please check out Why Don't We's new album The Good Times and The Bad Ones? It is fire 🔥
I'll add it to the list 🤘
You won't regret it 😊
band-maid - no god reactionplease
You got it!
You guys are kind of loud and you're not even listening to a word I say. These ladies has become my best friends. Over the past five or six years. Y'all listen to the music and not to the words. Yeah they are good musicians and that's all you listening to. Shut your mouth and listen to the words of all of their songs... They are not only good musicians! They are a movement. Please just listen to what they're doing
lol this comment is hilarious, You should do comedy
I like the song, but the way it was mixed makes me cry
lol @ YOU
I just wonder who does down thumbs to great music? They do it to JinJer also I guess just ugly souls!
Probably towards us and not the bands themselves haha.
@@dicodec Well hell man then the answer to the ? is simply that they are just haters oh well what can you do about some peoples kids!
True, can't please everyone so we don't let it get to us.
reaction to blackpink please
We have one up already!
@@dicodec You should do Kill this Love with Black Pink. It is amazing...
Nope
Why though?
