Check out Ohrenje's channel for excellent documentries on the ladies...They start with Saiki (lead vocals) and then Kanami (lead guitar) then Akane (drummer) and then MISA (bassist) and finally Miku the band founder (rhythm guitar vocals, lyrics)..The reason for her being last is because it ties up the whole story as told in the previous documentries...They are well made and fun.
Thanks for watching I really appreciate it. They are spectacular and amazing. I will definitely check out your suggestion. I love learning about the artists and bands and songs. Thanks again and take care.
Yeah Seconded, You can also check out RUclips Channel Wave Potter Films and his three part series on the Maid's cslled Rock is Not Dead. Its also pretty good. But Admittedly Orenje's Documentary is the Gold Standard.
You can find a number of documentaries and interviews that are on RUclips that are chock full of everything BAND-MAID.Maidiacs also have volumes of info that is always excellent.
Thanks Jeremy for watching and the info. I will definitely have to check out the documentaries. I love learning about the artists and bands and songs. Thanks again and take care
Thanks Ernest for watching I really appreciate it. They are absolutely amazing and fabulous. Every song and video of theirs has been great. Thanks again and take care.
BAND-MAID just celebrated 10 years together. Same five talented gals who have worked very hard to become known throughout the world. They are my favorite group and I don't see that changing for years to come. Thank you for your reaction to this wonderful song. (p.s. filmed in Taiwan)
Thanks Lawrence for watching I really appreciate it. They are absolutely amazing and spectacular and have so much energy. Thanks for the info also. Take care and hope to hear from you soon.
I did react to them live a couple times and yes they were great. I love live performances but also enjoy the MV also . Thanks for watching I really appreciate it.
The video was shot in Taiwan ... not 100% sure what town/city but the back drop while they are singing the chorus was the old Keelung Shipyard. Oh ... I was born in 61 as well haha.
Thanks for watching and for the info. They are absolutely amazing and spectacular . I love their talent and voices and energy. I will definitely do much more of them in the future.
I played hockey and baseball and was a ballboy at football for the Toronto Argo's of the CFL in their preseason. I started skating when I was 3 and a half. Thanks for the reply my friend.@@grumpyoldguyreacts
Daydreaming, About Us, Anemone, Endless Story, Memorable, PAGE, Wonderland, Awkward, Start Over, Mirage, At the Drop of a Hat and Smile -- an unbelievable range of mid-tempo songs from the greatest hard rock band on the planet - Band-Maid. "Daydreaming," "YOLO," "Puzzle,” and a host of others are world-class masterpieces. Although I love Daydreaming just the way it is and believe it may be Band-Maid's best composed and overall accessible song, I've always wondered if it was sung in English, how deep in the international market Daydreaming would have traveled...? Oh well, I'll stop daydreaming now. Thx Tom, for another great Band-Maid reaction!
Thank you Tom for watching I appreciate it. Also thanks for the suggestions. They are absolutely amazing and spectacular and have so much talent and energy. I love listening to the other languages of the bands and artists. Thanks again and take care.
A song that, even after some years now, enjoys absolute special status for me. _____________________ _"America invented rock. England improved it. And now, Japan has perfected it."_ 🔥🤘🏻 → Band-Maid ※ Gacharic Spin ※ Lovebites ※ Nemophila ※ East of Eden ※ Hanabie ※ Asterism ※ Trident
I think I agree with you 💯 percent. The Japanese bands have all been absolutely amazing and spectacular. I have more coming up soon. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it.
Welcome back to Band Maid. “Daydreaming” is their spin with writing a “ballad” and seemed to develop into an alternative rock, uptempo song. Fairly unique in their catalog, honestly. And a live concert setlist in concrete. The cool thing about the Maids is the ridiculous variety they play. You’ve hit on quite a few. But did you know they did instrumentals? The best I’ve heard since Rush. The most powerful is “From Now On,” official music video. The Maids are so fearless and confident that it was released as the first single from their latest album. And it’s often Song #1 when they play music festivals
Thanks Mike for watching and taking the time to comment. They are absolutely amazing and every song and video of theirs have been fabulous. I will definitely do more of them in the future. Sometimes it takes a while to get back to some bands because I'm trying to keep everyone happy plus learn new artists and bands. Thanks again and take care.
How old they are? Here you go: Saiki Atsumi - Lead vocals Born Feb 8, 1994 MISA - Bass Born Oct 15, 1992 Miku Kobato - Rhythm guitar, backing vocals Born Oct 21, 1991 Kanami Tono - Lead guitar Born Sept 28, 1991 Akane Hirose - Drums Born Dec 14, 1990
Thanks Jonas for the info. I really enjoy learning about the artists and bands. Also thanks for watching. These YOUNG ladies are spectacular. Thanks again and take care.
@@grumpyoldguyreacts No thank YOU! Keep listening to these ladies! They are worth every second! I would recommend their live of 'Corallium' from Shibuya Eggman. (It's on YT somewhere). The intricacy of the song baffles me every time. 🤘
I do have earbuds but I'm a little weird. I hate having things in or over my ears. Just don't like the feeling. I guess I can try again. Band Maid is absolutely amazing and fabulous. Thanks Graham for watching I really appreciate it.
The only band member of Band-Maid who has a solo project apart from Band-Maid is Band-Maid founder Miku. Her solo project is called "cluppo". From what I've heard from fans, Miku has said that she may do more as cluppo but that her commitment will always be to Band-Maid. The cluppo sound is more of a pop style than is Band-Maid. If you want to check it out, I recommend you listen to the song "Peace & Love." Miku, by the way, has a signature Zemaitis guitar known as "Flappy Pigeon", and she also has a cluppo song titled "Flapping Wings."
Thanks Mark for watching I really appreciate it and for the info. I will definitely check out your suggestion and I love learning about the artists and bands and the song's. They are absolutely amazing and spectacular. Thanks again and take care.
Best hard rock band on the planet. And in my opinion the best band I have ever heard in my 58 years. No need to make their video so small, Band-Maid won't copyright you for official video's, they support reactors and even watch them. Other Japanese bands you really should check out are Gacharic Spin 'Mindset' - rock funk insanity Hanabie 'Tousou' (run away) - youngsters on the scene blowing up massively - absolutely incredible. Three sisters from Mexico, check out The Warning, they are incredible. If you are really brave check out the incredible insanity that is Maximum The Hormone "Alien" this long standing band from Japan has been role models for many Japanese artists especially Akane the drummer from Band-Maid. This band is a Japanese metal institution. Be prepared for the unexpected though! Best wishes.
Thanks Davey for watching I really appreciate it. I have reacted to The Warning at least a Dozen times and they are absolutely amazing and spectacular. My son does all the editing and everything so I'm not sure about the size of the video. I'm computer illiterate so my wife and son do everything for me. Band Maid is fabulous and fantastic. I have reacted to so many great Japanese girl bands and have more coming up. Thanks again and take care.
They are absolutely amazing and I love them . So much talent and energy. Their videos are always great too. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
This is one of their laid back songs, pretty easy on the musicians and just a great melody. I suggest LIVE cuts and in particular Domination (live) and Freedom, as well as the live version of Manners with Black Hole. One of my three favorite Japanese bands, One Ok Rock, Wagakki and Band Maid.
Thanks Kitty for watching I really appreciate it. I reacted to Domination live and the MV a long while ago and I think I did Manners also. Every song and video of theirs have been fantastic and fabulous. I also have reacted to Wagakki 4 or 5 times and also did One Ok Rock once. Every Japanese band I have reacted to has been fabulous. Thanks again and take care.
Thanks Tom for watching. My son does all the editing and stuff. I am computer illiterate so I depend on him to do everything. I don't know if he can do that with the T.V. or not. I'll ask him. Thanks again I appreciate you watching.
Not as a video to react to (though you could) I suggest you check out the first installment of the Band Maid Documentary to learn just how lucky we are that this band came to be starting with our lovely Pigeon Miku and her dream. ruclips.net/video/m0dYUlJ5E60/видео.html
Thanks Robert for watching I really appreciate it. I will definitely check out your suggestion. They are fabulous and spectacular and I will definitely do more of them in the future.
This is a nice song, but far from demonstrating what this band can do. It is a great introduction to that wonderful voice of Saiki, the lead singer, which is tremendous. However, I think "Domination" and/or "Freedom" would have been better choices and after a while and having gotten to know them, comes "Manners", "Black Hole," "Dice" and others. Welcome to the incredible realm of Band Maid!
Thanks Howard for watching I really appreciate it. I know I reacted to Domination twice , live and the MV. Manners sounds familiar but I'm not sure. I have reacted to them probably 10 times and every song and video has been fabulous. Thanks again and take care.
Hate to be the bringer of bad news. While Gunkanjima (Battleship Island) is an amazing location, that is not where they shot Daydreaming. It was shot at Agenna Shipyards in Keelung Taiwan during their tour there in 2017. The city shots in the video are in Keelung as well. The signs are all in Taiwanese. That all said, would love to see them shoot at Battleship Island but sadly that place is so poorly maintained that it isn't safe except from some very restrictive tours.
@@stabehlphotography Oh really? I thought it was the island. Particularly the part where kanami is playing in that garden courtyard surrounded by a broken down building. I felt like I've seen that building in exploration videos of the island before. That's what lead me to believe that.
Sad to think, but that location could've been the result of one of our bombs. The images in Babymetal's Monochrome lyric MV definitely remind me of the Hiroshima bombing because that's where Su-metal is from.
I love these girls.
Me too. Absolutely amazing

I liked this song the first time I heard it There is such a nostalgic sound to it, I don't think I'll ever get tired of hearing it

Thanks for watching and the info. I will definitely check it out. Take care.
Band maid is a super live band 🤘🎸👍
I did react to them live a couple times and yes they were great. I love live performances but also enjoy the MV also . Thanks for watching I really appreciate it.
You can get everything you need to know about BAND-MAID in Orenji's videos. He has a documentary for each of them and 3 for band founder Miku.
Thanks for watching and the info. I will definitely check it out. They are absolutely amazing and fabulous.
The video was filmed in Taiwan in 2016 , MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! the Barefoot Bass Assassin.
Thanks for watching and the info. They are absolutely amazing and spectacular.

I love Band-Maid who play progresive rock and look great. 1961 was when I made my mark in sports.
Your mark in sports???? Band Maid are great. Thanks William for your support. Take care my friend.

To really appreciate this music get some headphones for you birthday.

It's hard deciding the best of BAND-MAID, but Daydreaming is always no.1 for me
They are absolutely amazing and spectacular. Band Maids songs and videos are great and I love them. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it.

@@chrisegbertky Yes, and they have met too! Hope to see them together on one stage some time!
@@Davey-Boyd That WOULD be great. If I didn't start this channel I would have never found all these great bands.
Band Maid simply the best band in the world!!! And Kanami { the lead guitar } simply the best female guitar player in the world!!!

My favorite Kanami solo. The clouds part and the angels sing. If you like this watch ABOUT US and you may need a hanky.
