For the time signature, the part that repeats itself is in 5/4, then where the lead guitar is ascending there is a number of bars in 2/4, but the first time there are 5 of them and the second time there are 6. You could decompose things differently but that's how I feel it at least.
Agree - 5/4.
Love this kind of breakdown of the lil mini prog treats “these bands” leave for us
Miku, rhythm guitarist, didn’t even know how to play when she formed the band back in 2013. Her original intention was to be the vocalist but decided to bring aboard Saiki as main vocalist for her superior rock style ability and sound. THEN she started learning on the fly from Kanami. Kanami is still her sensei to this day.💪🏻🤘🏻
Kanami´s inspiration is clearly Carlos Santana, she always speaks about him with a lot of respect and says he is her idol.
"A good guitar solo will trigger emotions. I always keep that in mind" - Kanami Tono
She is an incredible musician, songwriter and really humble. She is my favorite musician at the moment, even though i love ALL maids, she stands out for me... Greetings from Germany
I hear some Adrian Smith as well. VERY nice
Fully agreed. Kanami is easily among my top songwriters of all times list, bar none. Pretty much the only one whose 99% of work is in my fav playlist.
Considering how diverse their catalogue is, it’s boggles my mind how she does it everytime. Usually it’s 50-60% even for those that I grew up listening to.
I just love how she always manages to balance out the intricate structure of their songs with very accessible catchiness.
It’s an open secret but how she did it for 4 albums straight is a whole another thing.
Michael I truly believe Kanami is a musical savant and luckily supported by a group of hugely talented musicians who can interpret her compositions and deliver mega performances. Intrigued to see where her brain will take them.
Kanami always pointed Carlos Santana as her favorite guitarist, also she mentioned Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai and Eddie Van Halen as influences of her style.
Recently she mentioned Larry Carlton as an ispiration.
As BAND-MAID stated on Manners, "Our rock never dies, ever. Forever!" - 'nuff said!
🤙🏼🥃🥃🥃
"Our rock" never dies...according to the girls! 😁
@@lurkmerchant You are correct my friend. I edited it. Thanks 🙂
You are still just scratching the surface of what this band can do. They are such a talented and tight band, it's just ridiculous!! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
On Kanami, give me music that does something to me emotionally over the gymnastics ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. She excels tremendously at this.
All 3 of Band-Maid, Lovebites, and Nemophila do very interesting song writing but I do have to agree that Kanami is the best. Band-Maid’s composition is definitely their strongest asset and really helps put them above their contemporaries.
Best is relative and I love Kanami
I'm not sure if Kanami's the best songwriter but her composition to me is the most interesting, weird, wild and catchy, all at the same time. And all instruments add so much to their music. Kanami's raw, rough around the edge-y sound is unusual in Japanese guitarists. They all have the playfulness in their sound and kanami makes the best use of it.
Kanami has mentioned Carlos Santana, Larry Carlton as inspirations. And last October, she tweeted a beautiful tribute tweet for Eddie Van Halen, saying she loves his phrasing and tapping. Kanami uses a backing track of her tapping, and it runs along her tapping live. Most bands use backing tracks in songs. Lovebites Swan song, Miyako does piano backing tracks that play as she's on guitar. Though in Burden of time, she does play both guitar and piano at same time.
For me, what seperate Band Maid from other bands including Lovebites and Nemophilia is the way they compose the songs, also they are more versatile in terms of style, they are more willing to take risk and make changes, this is even more obvious in the new album.
You mentioned one of the things that makes Band-Maid so great: they avoid parallel lines in parts -- everyone does some thing unique and creative to compliment the others.
I love every one of the maids. But, Kanami is at the top for me. I love her. She is such a precious person.
For what it’s worth, I’d love to hear your reaction/analysis of “Bubble”. The music video is available on their official channel. It’s got so much groove
Yes! Great song 🤘🔥🎸
What you are responding to is the incredible depth of music education in Japan. Exposure to music theory, and training on instruments, are commonplace, not the exception as they are in the U.S. All of these groups write ambitious music, rather then sticking to a formula. We need more of that here!!!!
💯% agree 🤙🏼
Akane and Misa both went to Tokyo School of Music (TSM) around the same time and have worked together a few times before Band-Maid.
Kanami had a music tutor (all her siblings did too). I don't think she ever went to a music school/academy. Instead she got a finance/economics degree.
Miku's training is more traditional. Japanese folk singing. She was convinced by her grandma to go pop to expand her career prospects. Her idol group didn't go anywhere and she worked in a maid cafe (where the Band-Maid inspiration came from) to make ends meet.
No idea about Saiki but I get the feeling she did theatre.
Incredible reaction once again! IMO you really seem to get what makes them special. For something a bit different, try their song "Daydreaming". For the ultimate mind-melting experience, try "Giovanni".
🤙🏼
Wave is a double threat when it comes to reacting. He's informative AND entertaining.
@@patron40silver 💯% true
Giovanni is mind boggling! I'd love to see his take on this song.
A very special talented band. They're bad ass!
I have been a bassist since 1966 and I have yet to see anybody hide the pick better than MISA.
Two of Kanami's inspirations are Eddie Van Halen & Carlos Santana among others. She's a student of rock & roll guitar who has developed a style all her own❤😎
I saw a phone upload from a concert in New York a few years ago, where Misa and Kanami had a guitar vs bass solo duel. It was entertaining and funny to watch at the same time.
They have two more instrumentals you could listen to, Without Holding Back and Don't Be Long
I always forget about Don't Be Long. That's a good one.
Second Without holding back!
Akanes lightning fast fills and footwork is mindblowing!
Don't forget Giovanni
The "harmony" guitar sound that appears in the second and third sections is actually a backing track - they've made no secret of the fact that they use backing tracks during live shows to get a fuller sound. Sometimes it's a guitar and, more recently, additional vocal tracks have used as well. Akane used to be in control of the tracks from a console next to her kit but I'm not sure that's still the case.
Whenever they use them it's just to add some synth or something like that, I think the harmony was most likely a synth, it doesn't have neither the guitar tone of Kanami nor Miku and it does sound very synthy.
Never seem themy use guitar back tracks as far as I know and from all the lives I've seen from them.
I noticed that too after many viewings. You can tell that Miku is still playing her normal rhythm part when the "harmony" track kicks in. I can't think of any other songs where they use a guitar back track though. They usually use them for piano or synth parts. Nothing wrong with that. Whatever works.
@@billb.5183 If it makes for a better live sound I'm all for it! I did notice the last (online) live show seemed to use quite a lot of backing tracks (and layering) on the vocals, and that certainly made for a really good sound.
@@harleyrichards140 Absolutely. I forgot to mention vocal tracks as well.I'm fine with all of it.
Kanami does backing tracks also. Kanami recorded a tapping run, and it plays along with her. It's in a interview with her.
Kanami's influences? Probably start with Carlos Santana, EVH and Steve Vai. I've also heard strong Lindsay Buckingham, Mike Campbell and even some Dimebag vibes in some of the stuff she's written. She also seems to have listened to a lot of non-rock genres, especially jazz and classical. Like Akane and MISA, she has a bunch of music schooling in her background, from a young age.
I really liked that editing technique where you showed the base player flipping the pick. Love to see more of that sort of thing.
Kanami has called out Carlos Santana as inspiration, but personally I also hear a lot of Kirk Hammett as well. Maybe that’s just me
Mind blown ?? Your journey is just beginning, so many more songs
are gonna turn you into a Madiac.
You DO get them, don't you. I've seen the video of Onset hundreds of times, and you still pointed out some drum work that I hadn't noticed before. Thanks!
One of Kanami's inspirations is Carlos Santana. She has others, but that's the person I've heard her bring up multiple times.
Great reaction and for me this is the reason I love this band, the incredible compositions, the instrumental talent and the cohesiveness of the members and their obvious joy at playing live.
Great reaction! Live versions (and there are a few different versions) of "Play" by Band-Maid next, please.
I suggest the following Band Maid songs: Thrill, Bubble, Dice, Manners, Domination (live) & Real Existence (live)
And loads of other songs...
Their range of styles and genres is amazing. Do not forget their lyrics. The newer videos have quite good subs and are safe to react to. I would recommend "About Us" live for a ballad with subs. It's love song to their fans during Covid times with amazing vocals, if you want to experience a sample of their lyrics. "Warning!" is a headbanger with good lyrics translation and a high energy video about the record labels, if you prefer a more metal song. "Wonderland" could be an alternative if you like to hear them do a style that sound like no one else. "Daydreaming" if you want to react to a masterclass in composing. There are so many more! "Alone", their first own song they were allowed to record, "Blooming", "Rinne" or...well, don't bather about recommendations! No matter what you pick, you can't go wrong. The worst you can do is pick a genre that is not in you flavour!
BLOOMING is another great taping song. KANAMI taps in THRILL as well, she is well versed in tapping.
MISA plays with a pick and slaps in the same song and changes from one to the other very quickly!
From a radio interview - - (Chris): What amazed me most about your play style is the changing of picking to slapping, and then picking again so smoothly. Some bassists may throw their picks away to slap, but you use the same pick when you change from slapping to picking again, right?
(Misa): No, I don't throw my pick away. I have become better as I practiced. For the recent 2-3 years, I haven't lost any pick.
(Chris): Show me how.
(Misa): I keep the pick with my index finger and palm.
(Chris): Then you slap the bass with your thumb and middle finger? Can you show me how you play? (then Misa shows how)
(Misa): Because I've been practicing these days, I can change faster than ever.
(Chris): You are mixing them up! That's awesome!
(Misa): I think anybody can do it if you practice.
Misa - BASS GUITAR plays Black Cloud "Smoker" and Privat Reserve (SG Style) bass - Orange AB200B MKIII Amps
KANAMI asks HERMAN LI from DRAGON FORCE what the fastest song he has played - he answered with 215(?) KANAMI said she would write a song to match or beat that. She comes close with DIFFERENT.
KANAMI's inspiration is CARLOS SANTANA - Main reason she plays with a PRS Custom 24 and MESA BOOGIE Amp.
PLAY is another song that was supposed to be an instrumental but SAIKI was feeling left out.
Thank you for reacting to this video! Love this Band-Maid!
To see a unique side of the band, you should check out their alto ego, Band Maiko. There are only to songs, a remake of "Secret My Lips" which was a April Fools Day joke on there fans and what I think is a truly amazing song, "Gion -Cho". The word Maiko means like a "apprentice Geisha" and the lyrics and MV support this beautifully.
She always says Carlos Santana, including why she was drawn to PRS (he was an early adopter in the 80s).
Here is a tune that to me sounds similar, instrumental, same key & approx speed, maybe feel (the maybe not to someone listening closely to creative Akane). I have zero evidence, nbd, but like the creation of BandMaid soon after a Doll$Boxx video spotlit the gap between hard rock with maid outfits, Onset came out soon after Gacharic Spin (aka Doll$Boxx) put this out. But this is “Nicorin’s Commuter Rush” ruclips.net/video/VXAB83r0lbQ/видео.html , a piece about Guitar TomoZo’s experience 100,000,014 years ago when she was born on planet Nicorin. She the one dressed as lil Bo Peep, not to be confused with the princess in a bedazzled neckbrace, the drumming cyclist, nor the cheeseburger’s impression of Keith Emerson. If you still can’t tell, look for the guitar, she uses PRS too 😉🎸💃😎
You should react to another of their instrumentals Without Holding Back. ITS EVEN BETTER in its driving composition style. But someone else will have to provide the link cuz I don’t have it!💪🏻🤘🏻
Billibilli is a place i look for the stuff that isnt on RUclips
@@andreaspedersen3952 ... or streamable :-) streamable.com/aomlow
I don’t think it’s better.
But it’s certainly excellent.
You are becoming one of my favorite reactors. The slow mo of the pick flip earned a suscribed from me. Agree with those suggesting Play
Two words..."Play" (live).
One minute into the vid, I got to say, your going to love this😎
Without Holding Back is another excellent instrumental from Band-Maid 👌!
Agreed. There are not too many interesting rock bands out there. But to me only Band-Maid brings such admiration, affection, joy and lightness of being no one else does. You don't need to have hate or male aggression in hard rock to make it powerful.
Kanami is big fan of Carlos Santana. Influenced her playing? Not sure.
Kanami played Santana when they were in the world tour.
Carol Santana is the reason I started playing the guitar.
He and Kanami are different in style of playing but they sounded same in term of sprit to me.
It's hard to describe but they both impress you by one note not by technical stuff.
Indeed she did.
She says that she learnt the pentatonic scale of him.
that's one of the reason misa get her nickname
"barefoot assassin" 👍🏼
super easy how she switch between pick and slap in all the songs,
you can call that as "outstanding skill" too right?
and then it's kanami who arrange & compose this instrument,
her inspiration is carlos santana but,
where she get this idea to create and writings this instrument?
maybe aliens because you must admit this instrument is extra ordinary 🤣
I personally feel her ability to drop a fill high on the neck and then drop back into the mix like she was never there is why she's called the assassin. The barefoot part is self explanatory.
I found Band-Maid about two and a half years ago while being bored at work watching silly Japanese Music videos. (see Baby Metal "Gimme Chocolate"). They kept popping up in my recommendations, but the thumbnail clearly showed them wearing silly Maid costumes. But hey, that day I was watching silly videos.
OMFG! is all I can say. After you watch and listen to these musicians you will never think of them as silly.
The first thing I focused in on was the Drummer. I had assumed this was just another Pop-Idol group where the girls just sing and dance, looking cute as they do their thing. But from the first ("Start Over") the Drummer was clearly playing. It went from this kind of light guitar pop to slowly built up piece that had me clicking on the next one on the list: "Thrill." A total throwback to 80s Hard Rock nearly Metal. The drummer is sprinkling in double pedals and just keeping it rock solid. At this point I'm impressed and had to keep going.
"Real Existence" is what put me over the edge. Akane (I had read the comments to find out her name at this point) goes completely Keith Moon wild on the drums while never losing control. Each verse, each chorus and the guitar solo all have multiple sub sections on the drums, and it is simply amazing. Simple, but ever moving, changing and perfectly locked into the rest of the music.
So, after watching every last official video on their channel multiple times, made my first iTunes purchase EVER (and first money spent on new music in DECADES) I called up a friend of mine who had played guitar professionally in Japan back in the 90s. "Dude, I just found THE MOST AMAZING Japanese band! and they're all girls! and all dressed up li...." "Oh, you found Band-Maid, here, let me send you a link" ONSET. I think I cried.
I've not been THIS into a band since first learning to play drums listening to Rush. They are THAT good.
...and then there's MISA! :)
Japan is now a metal superpower. Thanks to ladies like these.
Yeah, it's a 5/4. Sick, don´t you?, as hell. These girls are masters.
Really enjoyed your reaction! If you listen to Giovanni in the future try checking out the instrumental version after! It will blow your mind!👍❤😉
I love watching you go through the same process that I went through a month ago. I'm happy you are sharing your journey.
IMO... up next you have Play(live) an instrumental that became a full song, and Puzzle (live - you'll have to go off YT) a song that just shows how much of a guitar god Kanami actually is...
If you want to see studio production... Blooming and Warning are can't miss.
One of the best reactions I’ve heard, and I heard many!
There's so much incredible music coming from Japan these days it mind bending, and I love them all, but what your witnessing here is the best band on the planet hands down, composition, execution, arrangement, musicianship, and the list goes on and on.
A certain MR EDDIE VAN HALEN would be impressed with KANAMI'S
tapping technique.
Originally, Kanami played Addictone guitars but once she was
noticed, she’s been PRS all the way!
Kanami- PRS / Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier + 8 or 9
different pedals
Miku- Zemaitis Custom / EVH 5150 (EDDIE VAN HALEN) stack + various pedals
MISA- Black Cloud custom 5 string bass / Orange stack
Akane- Drum Kit: Tama Star Bubinga, Snare Drum: Ludwig, Cymbals: Zildjian (left to right)
Oh, by the way- JIMMY PAGE OF (LED ZEPPELIN) loves BAND-MAID, enough
said....
You said you wish you could see Akane. I think the point of this video is to be all about the music, that's why they are all in shadows, we can barely see anything but hands. I think that's a cool concept.
You speak of control by Kanami...despite her speed and shreds...I have never seen a single scratch on one of Kanami's PRS guitars...and, remember, PRS does not come with a pick guard. Her touch and precision is truly astounding.
MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!!! 🥃🥃🥃Band-Maid along with a few other bands from Japan are helping to save Rock music. It's good you saw MISA'S "slap-pick" technique. I'm sure many Maidiacs will tell you Carlos Santana is Kanami's musical influence.
Curtis R Robles is one of my influences. 🤘🤘🤘
@@patron40silver Whaaaaatt?? Wait until you meet me, it gets worse. Lol. I'm drinking and Suntory-Toki right now with my film crew friends. KANPAI!!!
Kanami (guitar on right) is the main composer. Miku (guitar/vocals on left) is the main lyricist.
If you want to see the full range of their compositional ability, you can check out Daydreaming, which Kanami has said is one of her favourite songs and also one she found most difficult to compose.
onset, without holding back, giovanni, no god and the rest of instrumental music versions of band maid are insane
Stunning is cool in the description and obviously true. Maybe ICONIC would better. Just saying. Sweet reaction brother! Band Maid Forever! 😊😎🤘
You can find many instrumental videos that they've done on Facebook. They would probably get blocked here if you tried to react to them, but I highly recommend that you at least check them out. Without Holding Back (Instrumental), Afterlife (Instrumental), No God (Instrumental), and Giovanni (Instrumental) will blow your mind. There are instrumental versions of Dice and Domination as well.
They have talked about the creative process they go through as a band, Kanami will come up with the general tune and riffs and give the others a demo. Akane and Misa then develop their parts off that while Miku writes the lyrics and works with Saiki on how it all goes together lyrically (Japanese and English). By the time it's all said and done you have the Band Maid sound, so different yet familiar. Totally awesome in all the variations they develop. In one interview Akane said she came up with 3 drum arrangements from simple to hard then insane. Of course she said they all chose the insane version of the drums. That is one aspect of their uniqueness, they all have input and say in the final product.
Great review!
Dude....there are a *lot* of great rock/metal bands making music today, it's just that (as you said) most of them haven't even sniffed mainstream popularity yet and so you have to do a bit of digging to find them. A few great tracks from the last year-ish:
VOLA - "Straight Lines"
Maelføy - "Emptiness Inside" or "Everything"
Sleep Token - "Sugar"
Ultra-Violence - "The Pain"
They're not all as technical as Band Maid, and none of these songs would net you the kind of views a Band Maid or Nightwish reaction does, but these are all killer tunes in my not-at-all humble opinion.
At any rate, really enjoyed your reaction & insights into this song. Keep plugging away at it, this channel will definitely grow on the strength of your knowledge! 🤘
I love this band. I found them because of the troglys guitar show. He reviewed the Zemitis Floppy Pigeon signature guitar of Miku. I Will thank him forever.
Great reaction, Band Maid changes style in about every song. You fall in love all over again.b
Another masterpiece....these girls are just so BadAss.. For me every song is an instrumental since I don't speak Japanese, it's all about the music. Akane is a beast....period. For as hard as she hits her drumming is one of the cleanest. Check out "Blooming"....... you won't be disappointed. Great react.....thanks
Regarding the odd time signature, according to the band score in the magazine "Young Guitar" (February 2021), for the 1st time before going into the main tapping melody line, there are 4 bars in 5/4, 2 bars in 4/4, then 1 bar in 2/4. For the 2nd time, it's 3 bars in 5/4, then 3 bars in 4/4.
Nice reaction! One thing I'd like to point out though. The guitar harmony you pointed out sounds like a pre-recorded track to me.
I'm not trying to nitpick but just want to say that I was even more impressed how brave and in-sync they are to use pre-recorded track in such a complex piece.
Well, they are pros and should be able to do that, I'm just saying..
Keep on rockin' bro, Po!
Misa is already a master in hiding the pick in her folded index, interestingly enough Kanami does it to when she is tapping.
She probably does what most folks do and holds the pick in her curled middle finger.
Haha. Welcome to Band Maid my friend. Kanami’s musical composition is amazing.
Zachary! Thank you SO MUCH for joining the channel. Idk where YT is supposed to notify me of new members (or if they even do) but i'm sorry it took me so long to realize it! Thank you so much! Please let me know if you ever have a request you'd like me to get to! I'll create a member's only post in the community tab that i'll watch for requests if you have them!
Love this band. No spotlight hogs here. Everyone is so generous when working together.
They are appearing in world first virtual festival splendour xr on 25th of July. It's pity that this aussie music festival isn't live for the obvious reason... but they are slowly getting there.
Hopefully a venue like this will open the eyes of large population who have never even heard of band-maid before.
For more insane Kanami tapping you need to watch 'Blooming' it is also my favourite Band Maid song. Akane's drums during the guitar solo match it so well. Enjoy !
Maidiac!!!☺🥁🥁🥁🎸🎸🎸🎤🎤🎤 Kanami 's inspiration is Santana.
Check out Band Maid - Blooming...tapping madness 😍😍 nice reaction n analysis...tq bro 👍🏻
Dude... how fucking amazing it's Akane?? They are all fantastic...I probably geek out the most about Akane....or MISA...or Kanami.... anyway, nice job
These ladies are 5 happy, face melting Ninjas!
Another ROCK band with many crossover fans with Band-Maid is a young sister Power Trio from Mexico: The Warning!
I think you would really enjoy them. Here is song off their Second Album, Queen of the Murder Scene, called Dull Knives. This video is recorded live in their home basement studio, known as The Warning Cave: ruclips.net/video/-VUCzqDyOdI/видео.html
I've actually made one video about The Warning already! They are such a cool band! But i definitely plan on doing more in the future. Thank you for sharing!
@@WavePotter I thought you looked familiar. LOL More Warning, Please ! :)
I see you couldn't stay away from BAND-MAID.
Me neither.
Let's meet back here in a few days for some more BAND-MAID breakdowns.
Do 'Domination' LIVE next. That or 'Real Existence' LIVE. But if you're not into the LIVE stuff try the MV for the ultra heavy Rinne', it has Metal influenced shredding, or the MV for 'Blooming' it has Power Pop tapping. They are Hard Rock, but have so many influences that they draw on, even jazz.
if you're gonna count a 7...only say "sev" since the second syllable "en" takes more time up......six, sev, eight...
Next Blooming, please!
It’s 5/4
It’s 5/4.
Kanami is not as technical as the guitarist from Nemophilia or Lovebites. She does though do an incredible job of composing and always serving the song. I love all 3 of the bands by the way and hate picking best or even favorites.
And yet for me of those three it's only Kanami's playing that I can listen to all day. I admire the crazy guitar technique in some of those other bands, but they don't give me the feels like Kanami's playing does.
@@drogonr9318 are you a metal fan? I can listen to all of them and not get tired myself.
ピックからスラップに変わった所、気付きましたね。ｗ
Mincho is such a good song writer and arranger. She can be said a today’s Amadeus Mozart.
Resistance is futile. BEST ROCK BAND ON THE PLANET.
Kanami and the gang may not be as technical as Lovebites and Nemophila, but their compositions are def more creative and full of WTF moments, great bridges, transitions and so on. You can't go wrong with any of the suggestions people are offering. There's no video for one of their most WTF progressive songs, "Giovanni", but if you watch the lyric video a fan made for it, look for the instrumental video Band-Maid did. Trust me, not too many could comprehend the song until they also saw the instrumental video. It's not an official video so you may need to find it elsewhere. But my vote for your next official mv is "Different" which delivers a prog punk song that will also blow your mind. "
Yess...misa is bass goddess.
Excerpt from a really good interview found on Reddit. "Interview with and-Maid on Player Magazine - September 2018 issue" www.reddit.com/r/BandMaid/comments/gdxff6/interview_with_bandmaid_on_player_magazine/
"Kanami: I was a singer-songwriter and I used to sing with an acoustic guitar. But I also liked the electric guitar and Santana. I started the guitar because of Larry Carlton, though (laughter)."
They go into detail on their songwriting methodology (at least as it was then) and their musical backgrounds. It isn't very long and is well worth the read.
Edit to add another Thank you to the music gods for giving us Larry Carlton, as if he hadn't done enough as it is.
The pre-chorus is in 5/4
The rest of the piece is straight up 4/4 with some syncopated beats between Miku and Akane
for toms and tapping extraordinaire, - check out Blooming
Kanami is a musical savant
MISA MISA MISA!
And, all Maidiacs bow down to Little Hat-san...tossed aside by MISA, taken up by Akane, and now a Holy Relic of Rock!
It's 5/4 time on the bridge.
Band-Maid is not an “ordinal rock band”, but it’s a string-instrument ensemble, which is just like a classical chamber music, formed with the 1st guitar, the 2nd guitar, and the 3rd, “5-string” base, plus the percussion.
This way, you could look into BM more deeply… I think.
If you like instrumentals try Asterism they don't have a vocalist and Hakura is fantastic.
On-Set is music for the soul!!!
ひとりで様々な楽器を器用にこなすPotterさん故、ONSETのように各メンバーの技量の見せどころ/聴かせどころが途切れることなく炸裂する演奏においては、Reactするにあたりいつも以上にPAUSE/REWINDが多くキモい、じゃなかったお見苦しい点があることについては私からもお詫びしたい。
つまり「いいぞ、もっとやれ。」ということです。(^^♪
you really need "blooming" next. funny enough kamani likes santana
Please react Band maid - dont you tell me - live( best solo ever)
Please ❤️
Yep -- BAND-MAID!!! I always start my day with "Onset". Really motivates me to get shit done with a smile. If you want to have your brain melted more, react to all their official live videos. Listen their official MVs first, then react to the live versions.
