You all ain't seen nothing yet with these ladies. THE BEST rock band on the planet. They are some of the tightest live performers I've ever had the pleasure to see live multiple times...and I saw them play this song live...amazing band with TONS of music.
Next step is usually the LIVE versions of 'Domination' or 'Freedom' where you will hear their incredible singer! You will enjoy it, I can promise you that! 😎🤘
Watch DOMINATION live if you want to get a better idea. They're the best rock band on the planet in my opinion. They're incredible live and we, the fans, are called Maidiacs. Yes, their singer, Saiki, is evident. They don't have a bad song and they've been writing their own music for years. I was 66 when I discovered them and they dragged me back into rock when I'd given up on it because it had gotten so stale for me. I'm 72 now and listen to them almost exclusively because they put so many genres into what they produce. Watch the MV of INFLUENCER if you really want to get some variety that just might surprise you. Thanks for promoting them on your channel.
Yeah,63 here,and my daily dose of BM is a must,,like you i had given up on anything lighting my fuse again,then 3 years ago i found them,5 ladies in maid outfits,its insane aint it,,so so glad i found them.
Band-Maid has been around since 2013, and has done so many AWESOME songs that no matter which song you pick from them you will be impressed. You can't find a bad song. They have awsesome videos and are awesome live. You now have to see a song with vocals. Their singer Saiki is awesome too. Their lyrics are mostly in Japanese, with some English thrown in as well. (Side note: They are truly appreciative of reaction channels and rarely (if ever) give them any hassles. I've seen their videos in reactions with little to no pauses or screen effects. The band doesn't seem to give reactors copyright hits like other bands do.) Some song suggestions: "Domination" (Official Live Video) "Influencer" (Official Video) "Manners/Black Hole" (Official Live Video) (Two songs) "Shambles" (Official Video) "Dice/Hate?" (Live at Lollapalooza) (Two songs. This isn't an official video, so the camera work isn't that great, but their performance is EPIC!) "Daydreaming" (Official Video) They even do great ballads. One of them is their song "Memorable." they were so overwhelmed by the positive support during their 2022 United States tour that they wrote this love song to their fans. These are just a few of their MANY awesome songs.
Band Maid’s first music video “Thrill,” just hit 20M views. This band is special. Definitely in the hard rock space, so if you’re into that? The Maids will probably add 40-50 songs for your playlist. “Onset” is one of four instrumental tracks; this is a musician’s band. Highly technical, progressive and tight. You mentioned vocals and their lead singer, Saiki, brings a powerful but clean voice to this gritty rock sound. “Play,” official live video would be a great follow up. Tasty, funky drums and bass intro followed by some energetic and uplifting choruses. Enjoy the ride 🚀
Who would have thunk that five (including the lead singer) tiny little Japanese girls would come together to form one of the best rock bands I've ever experienced. Together for 10 years now, they have an extensive catalog of impressive music. I hope you guys do more from these ladies. MV's are great but live is where they really shine. Though they have played large venues I think they are really a club band at heart. Saw them in Charlotte, NC with 699 new friends and was blown away with how tight they were for the whole 2 hour set. Easily the best concert I've seen in many many years.
Welcome to Band-Maid! The best hard rock band I have heard in my 58 years on this planet. They don't stick to any one genre and often mix genres in songs. They are extremely diverse and have an extensive 10 year back catalogue featuring Punk, Pop-Punk, Hard-Rock, Classic Rock, Metal, Prog, Blues, Jazz, Groove, Rap etc. From face melting 220 bpm punk-prog to ballads, instrumentals to acoustics they do it all. They are also five of the nicest people in music, without a shred of ego. They are funny and fun and bad-ass musicians to boot. They are currently celebrating their 10th anniversary with the original line up. You need to go and see them next time they tour the US - but be quick, they sell out fast! I travelled to Japan from the UK just to see them. I caught four shows and they blew the roof off every time! Btw, Miku the rhythm guitarist (red rose) formed the band. She had the idea of Band-Maid after working as a maid in Japanese maid cafe's. The idea is a concept called "The Gap" - that is what you see (cute maids) is NOT what you get (Hard Rock/Punk/Metal). They take the maid café concept literally. They call their concerts "servings" and their fans "Masters and Princesses". Oh, and Miku is an 810 year old small pigeon. Rock didn't die it moved to Japan! There are tons of all female rock bands in Japan, from Punk to Heavy Metal, and has been for decades. Wait until you meet Band-Maids lead singer Saiki, she is awesome too! Welcome to the pigeon hole Po!
Hands down the best band I have heard in decades, my suggestion, start with the 3rd studio album, Brand New Maid. So many different styles of rock on one album and the first song they wrote. I can put it on and not skip a song.
Welcome & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 Band-Maid is one of the best bands in our country, especially in live performance. They went on US tours once in 2022 and twice last year. They performed several times in your state, CA. We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". The history is very long and the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Speaking of hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since as early as 1970s : Led Zeppelin / Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Deep Purple (1972), Queen (1975), Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick / Van Halen / Scorpions (1978), Judas Priest (1978/79) and so on. Now, any type of rock can be enjoyed here, especially by many all-female or women-fronted bands. They are daughters of American / European rock, for sure. (Many are grand-daughters in terms of age.) Uh-oh, we also say "Japan is the country obsessed by Jazz". It had started earlier than rock 😄
Welcome to Band Maid!! There is sooooooooooooooo much more to discover from them! Check out Domination the official live on their RUclips channel and yes they do sing and have a vocalist 🤘😀🤘
Haha, great reaction. "They kinda mastered that sh1t." Yes, yes they did. IMO the best hard rock band currently on the planet. This is an instrumental they play to give the vocalist a break during concerts. To see them with vocals, I'll join others in recommending the "Domination" Official Live video.
"SHOCKING!" Spread the word AB. Check out DOMINATION-LIVE for more Shock and Fun. Then their latest instrumental FROM NOW ON and you won't get to the replay button fast enough. You've hit the Awesome motherload. Peace. 37.7
We love our MAIDS, they are the best hard rock band out there, check out their other instrumental "From Now On". Having said that the lead singer is fantastic and they have over 100 songs on 7 albums in 11 years. A great organic group of fantastic musicians.
Finally! I've been hoping you'd find your way to this incredible band. They have over 100 recordings and there's not a bad one in there. As good as their MVs can be, the official live recordings are usually even better. And they are hard to classify into a separate genre because they mix so many genres into a song. Also they do incredible rearrangements of their hard rocking electrified songs into beautiful acoustic versions. You have to check out more. Just follow the leads of other commenters
Oh yes, they have a lot more. My absolute favorite band right now. My next request. BAND-MAID Dice. Mind blowing stuff! Do the music video first. Save the live video for later.
Hej there Airplay Beats ! Welcome to the world of Band-Maid ! What a priceless reaction. The realization that these wonder women are women and from japan. still lol. Hope to see more amazement about Band-Maid here in the future ;-)
Gentlemen, welcome to the Wonderful World of Band Maid. In 10 years, they have gone from being on the verge of breaking up to the top of the heap in amazing hard rock on the planet. They have a MASSIVE global fan base on pretty much every continent. And the looks on your faces when you realize what you are seeing and hearing is priceless. Their technical precision in astounding and their composer and lead guitarist, Kanami Tono is a savant and to me is Japan's Brian Wilson. They are one of the very few bands today that do instrumentals and they are amazing at it, as you have seen. If you thought Onset was something, wait until you react to the music video for From Now On, which is harder and more complex. I'm 76 and from Brooklyn NY and have been following rock and popular music since the late 1950's and haven't seen this kind of talent in decades. They toured three times in the US between the fall of 2022 and end of August 2023. I saw them twice in 2022 and once in 2023 and have heard them play Onset and many of their other great songs. They have a catalogue of over 120 excellent songs and haven't had a mediocre one yet. True music fans will appreciate good music no matter where it comes from and what language it is in and Band Maid typifies that whether it's the US, Mexico, Holland, German, Great Britain, France, Hong Kong or any other place on the globe that loves good music. As my good friend @flugelhornoldman1362 also mentioned, Japan has a vibrant and hot jazz/funk scene with a group of great musicians that consists of native Japanese and a lot of expats from the US and Europe living and playing there. And the amount of amazing Japanese female jazz musicians and groups is tremendous. They could play and wow crowds in NY, LA, Chicago and any other city you would want to mention. At the top of my bucket list is a trip to Japan to see my favorite musicians on their home turf before I'm no longer able to travel. Great reaction my friends and I look forward to more.
Great job!.....I hope to see more in the future....your reactions were honest and true....I think you may enjoy more Band-Maid....They are special!!.....you have over 130 different songs/compositions to choose from......they take their instrumentals serious.....the singer Saiki is very original...They Rock!.....enjoy the ride......recommend 'Domination' live version with CC button for lyrics ...also these popular Band-Maid songs/videos... Play...Dice....Onset...from now on....Warning.....many, many, ways to go
I'm so glad you guys have finally discovered my favorite band =) Band-Maid is considered one of the best hard rock bands in the world ! They have been together 10 years and have a wonderful singer ! Please check out "Domination" Official Live or "Freedom" Live ! Thanks Great Reaction btw their fans are called Maidiacs ✌🤘
Actually this is the first time I've suggested Domination in a long time. Lately I've been pushing FROM NOW ON and also DICE/HATE live at Lalapalooza. Influencer is a great one too. In fact, just about anything.@@roumiaou
Finally!!! Band-Maid!!! My two favorite bands are Van Halen and Band-Maid. Rush is 3rd. Saw them live in Chicago, Nashville and Salt Lake City. Best live band in the world. The lead singer is amazing!
A couple of us here at Sonic Leader are progressive rock fans who've also been Maidiacs for years. I subscribe to watch your reactions to the classic prog, and today I cheered when I saw you were doing Band-Maid. As a kid I loved progressive acts like Yes, King Crimson, Zappa and others that you guys feature on the channel. Band-Maid is the only musical group since then that's given me the same feelings of excitement, satisfaction and anticipation for each new song, album and concert. Also the same level of respect and admiration for each individual member. They're not just a good hard rock group, they are creating a catalog of intricate and very original music that will endure and find new fans well into the future, I'm completely sure of it. They're definitely on par with the progressive and classic rock groups from the past you guys react to, and I'm so glad to see you checking them out!
I love when people first discover Band Maid. As others have stated, quite possibly the greatest hard rock band on the planet right now. Do Domination live and you'll get a better feel for them.
As an old-school musician in my mid-50s, I have been one who has been cynical of anything new rivaling any of the great music of the past. That was until I became exposed to Band-Maid. These Maidens single-handedly reignited my love for the music that inspired me as a kid. I urge everyone to sample this band starting from their early work to their current stuff that way you can appreciate their progression as a band. I have been a hard critic of most current music and I rarely praise any band that has changed after being exposed to Band-Maid. They have been prolific songwriters who produced well over 120 studio & and live tracks over ten year period. They average a new album virtually every year. They are exceptional instrumentalists who have demonstrated the ability to forge interestingly creative music that incorporates the best of Hard Rock/Metal/Punk/Funk/Pop to form a unique yet familiar sound that is catchy with a unique distinct signature of their own. Their tracks have evolved from a straightforward Hard Rock/Metal/Pop Punk to a more Progressive Slant. Their music holds a wide variety of styles which has allowed them to produce tracks that are not predictable yet have a common thread that is distinctly Band-Maid. It is this quality that requires one to digest a minimum of 5 tracks to truly appreciate the greatness of this band. I happen to believe Band-Maid Is possibly the most important band keeping Hard Rock/Metal/Punk/Pop/Progressive Rock alive and well. This is the one rare band that sounds better live than the studio. And I feel fortunate to have seen them live a few times in both LA and San Diego when they came through the last two times 8 toured in the U.S. This band needs to be illuminated and given the recognition they deserve and I hope to see you guys tap deeper into this important band.
I'm also in my 50's and swore I would never fall into that music rut where I only liked stuff I grew up with. But low and behold I fell into that rut and almost got tired of music. Then I discovered Band-Maid and they turned me onto the amazing world of Japanese rock and metal.
I am listening to Brand New Maid as I am reading comments here........I'm 60 and had given up on even thinking of looking for new rock to listen to in the mid 90's lol. I am with you, BAND-MAID gave me back my joy for music. I literally want every person who has ever liked hard rock to hear this band.
Guys, you've discovered a truly great band. Everything about this band is unique and exceptional, esp for me the songwriting. Glad you enjoyed them. Btw, their vocalist is wonderful so you might want to check out one of their regular, non-instrumental songs. If you prefer checking out another instrumental song by them (they play these instrumentals live to give their vocalist a break), check out "From now on." 👍
Gotta admit I've heard of them but never listened to them Ladies got some chops...wow Some parts reminded me of Dream Theater when they get jamming You should probably check them out also
Here is the first part of an info file I post for new reactors to the Ladies of Band-Maid. There is more to it if you are interested. Band Maid Is; (In order of joining band) Name/Age: Nickname: Position: Miku Kobato Small Pigeon/ Band Founder, Secondary Lead Vocalist, Rhythm Guitarist, Main Lyricist, Age: 32 Koba/Kuruppo/ Backing Vocals, Backing Tracks, Arrangements 10/21/91 Cluppo Kanami Tono Princess/ Lead Guitarist, Primary Composer, Backing Vocals, Keyboards, Backing Tracks Age: 32 Kanamincho/ Backing Vocals on Backing Tracks, Arrangements 9/28/91 Mincho Akane Hirose Gorilla/ Drums, Percussion, Backing Vocals on Backing Tracks, Backing Tracks, Age: 33 Ah-Chan Arrangements 12/14/90 MISA Barefoot Assassin/ 5 String Bass Guitar, Backing Vocals on Backing Tracks, Backing Tracks Age: 31 MISA-MISA-MISA Arrangements 10/15/92 Saiki Atsumi Ice Queen/ Primary Lead Vocalist, Backing Vocals, Lyricist, Backing Vocals on Backing Age: 29 Sai-Chan/ Tracks, Backing tracks, Arrangements 2/8/94 Sensei (Teacher) To see just how good these Ladies are currently, I suggest you go to @realdocloco channel and watch his video taken from the Ladies Hulu performance at last years Lollapalooza of the 2 song Dice and Hate? and yes the question mark is part of the songs name.
Was lucky enough to see them live in Chicago 2022. Theyre honestly one of the best group of musicians youll ever hear. And the fact theyre all 5 cute Japanese women adds on to the wow factor from how good they play. And the fans are some of the nicest and loving people on earth. I also noticed your face light up when MISA (the bass player) did her solo. Shes an amazing bassist
Welcome to the fandom! Best rock band in the world right now! Been fortunate to see them play live twice in the last few years They played for round 2 hours each time. By far the best 2 concerts I've been to! I suggest these Band Maid songs: Thrill, Dice, Manners, Bubble, No God (live) & Puzzle (live) I'd also suggest another all female band from Mexico - The Warning! Maybe start with Money, Disciple, or Evolve (live from MTV VMAs)
The band calls the contrast between their cutesy maid costumes and their hard rock sound "the gap". They enjoy seeing the confused looks on people's faces when they walk on stage and the reaction when they start playing with their hard rock sound. My opinion is that Band-Maid are one of the best bands to have formed in the past 10 years, and are currently one of the best rock and roll bands on the planet. They play many genres and styles including ballads, power ballads, pop, rock, progressive rock, hard rock, punk, metal, nu metal, and everything before in-between and beyond. They also have several great instrumental songs like this that they use live to give their lead singer Saiki a break. I don't know what musical style that you prefer but you can't go wrong by listening to Onset, From Now On, Moratorium, No God, Rinne, About Us, Play, Why Why Why, and my favorite Official Music Video of theirs Don't You Tell Me. The double bass kick drum on No God and Rinne will blow your mind. Have fun with it! Introducing The Band... Miku [mee-kuu] (Small Pigeon) - Rhythm Guitar, Vocals, Lyricist, Band Founder Misa [mee-suh] (Barefoot Assassin) - Bass Guitar Akane [aah-kah-nay] (Gorilla) - Drums Kanami [kah-nah-mee] (Mincho) - Lead Guitar, Songwriter Saiki [sigh-kee] (Sai-Chan) - Lead Vocals
Welcome to the rabbit hole, gentlemen. This was introduction to Band-Maid and becoming a full fledged Maidiac. I suggest Play (live video), followed by Domination (live), Freedom (live), and their jazziest track Manners (music video). From there, you can find the more punk rock songs and a few of their ballads. Enjoy the ride!
Airplay Beats , Welcome to BAND-MAID , Enjoy your journey down the Pigeon hole , MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! the Barefoot Bass Assassin , yes they have a great lead vocalist , may I recommend the song Domination , official live video from there channel , BAND-MAID has been around since 2013 . Im saw them twice amazing live performances .
Their live song "Freedom" has a drum solo. Also see the Japanese female metal band Lovebites with 2 shredding guitarists ("Holy War "- live is a good place to start).
Welcome to the Maidiacs, guys. This was a fun reaction. "The Gap" strikes again😂 They have a fantastic vocalist (actually two). I always recommend Domination Official Live to newcomers.
Glad y'all reacting to this band, they rock! "Unlucky Morpheus" is band from Japan who also rocks! There cover of "Far beyond the sun" cover is a great version of the song. Enjoy y'all!
Hey guys, loved your reaction to Band-Maid! They are a special band and introduced me to a whole new music scene,Japanese rock in general and the metal/hard rock female bands in particular, yes they sing! Love the vocal harmonies they incorporate and the lead singer who is not on stage here, Saiki, is quite gifted. You can’t go wrong with “Influencer , “Manners, “Play”. Domination or “Dice”, or one of my favorites “Puzzle” for the next reaction. Lots of Band-Maid for you to discover! I’ve followed Band-Maid for many years but really got deeper into the music when they toured the States in 2022. Don’t feel bad being late to discover them, enjoy them as I do as fresh and original music, I am now myself late to the party for another female band from Japan named Nemophila, I think you will really like them as well ( simply incredible, check out the official live for “Oiran” or “Rise”)
Yes, keep going. They are an excellent band. They happen to be women, Japanese women, but they are the epitome of a rock and roll band (minus the drugs, outsized egos, and internal strife).
🤣Haha ! Great reaction. “Onset” is one of their earlier instrumentals. Band Maid is currently the best rock band going in the world. I recommend watching “Thrill” which is their first, and most watched, music video. I’d also recommend the official live versions of “Freedom”, “Real Existence”, and “Play”. BTW, the lead vocalist is fantastic. I hope you react to more Band Maid music, as you’ll have plenty of great songs to choose from.
heatfelt har rock core with many many influences and little nuances. Great ppl and dope music...the real package. Love Band Maid and they still underrated.
Welcome to the Ladies of Band-maid Gentelmen.. This was an instamental, check out one with the vocalist, Real existence live is smokin.. They have over 100 songs if you want some more, They are a very cool band.. Japan is where it's at if you like all female bands? Here are a few more for you.. if you Dare? Public health warning, beware, you will be roocked... Lovebites - Stand and deliver live from Knocking at Heaven's gate. Nemophila - Sorai Live Aldious - We are full version mv Gacharic spin - Mindset mv Trident - Ambivilant official live Hagane - Super villan mv East of Eden - Evolve Extended Version mv And one from Korea.. Rolling Quartz - Fearless mv There are many many more but these ones have over 200 songs between them.. Best wishes from France..
Band Maid ... one of the best Live bands hands down..... you should try any Live track... Puzzle, Manners / Black Hole, Domination, Warning... pick a live track... you cant go wrong....
Thank you for responding to BAND-MAID's song. "Onset" demonstrates their technique in a fully instrumental track. In particular, the tapping technique of the lead guitar "Kanami" stands out. As a Maidiac, what I want you to see in this song is the bass guitar solo. Misa's switching between picking and slap playing style is too fast and supernatural. They may look cute, but they have amazing skills. My favorite BAND-MAID instrumental song is "Without Folding Back". I would be happy if you could react to this song as well. ruclips.net/video/eEiE3ND7JEc/видео.html thank you.

Great band! Other female bands/groups from Japan I like are Babymetal, Lovebites, Aldious, Bridear, Cyntia & Destrose. Definitely do some Loudness, Church of Misery, Hellhound & Sigh too, all from Japan. Japanese bassist Tetsuo Sakurai has some great stuff too. Gentle Hearts Live concert is awesome, Tetsuo with guitarist Greg Howe, drummer Dennis Chambers & keyboardist Akira Onizuka. Incredible concert! Guitarist Ichika Nito is great too! And Masayoshi Takanaka as well, his Super Live 2012 concert is really good.
You guys aren’t the only ones living under a rock. I’ve never heard these girls play before. I watched both of their videos. I’m not sure what genre you’d call it. But they were playing their tails off. Now I’ve got 1 for both of you. And when I suggest anything to both of you. I’m not asking you to react. Just one music lover, sharing something with fellow music lovers. Tokyo Groove Jyoshi. Funk # 1. I’d say they’re a Jazz Fusion Band. As always Thank You, you turned me on today. As always Peace and Continued Success ❤

Welcome to the best rock/metal band in the world …… male or female! Yes, they have the best female vocals in the World (yeah, I use the phrase “…best in the world” a lot when talking Band-Maid.) The lead singer, Saiki, takes a break during concerts allowing the band to do what they do best. You noticed the drummer smile while playing but don’t be fooled, she is a beast. Her name is Akane, otherwise known as the Gorilla. The bassist is MISA, the barefoot assassin quite frankly the “best in the World” and the crowd favorite. The Lead guitarist, Kanami, composes the music and is a genius at what she does. And finally the most adorable Maid is Miku, the rhythm guitarist and backup singer. She is the founder of the band and lyricist. I discovered them in 2022 even though they have been around since 2013. I’ve been around since the 1960’s 1070’s so I’ve seen a lot of rock bands come and go. These women of Band Maid belong to rock royalty and I believe them to be the most versatile, technically proficient band ever. Besides, who doesn’t like girls who just plain rock!!!
From 1986 to 1996, there was a Japanese female five-piece rock band called "Princess Princess". Misa (bass) and Akane (drums) studied music expertise at a music school where the bassist and drummer of Princess Princess served as vice president and advisor, and this led to the current BAND-MAID. It is wonderful to see that rock music brought from the world to Japan is being passed on to the next generation, and that the Japanese rock scene is bringing joy and "Ikigai" to old-time rock fans around the world by reminding them of the greatness of rock music!
You guys would be amazed at the Japanese rock and metal scene, and there are a lot of all-female groups, all of them that I've heard are talented. Band Maid themselves have over 120 songs in their catalog and have been together with all of the original members since 2013. Their American audience is growing all of the time. They just wrapped up an American tour last fall and I think they sold out every show. I've listened to all of their music, and I haven't found one that I didn't like yet.
Just a comment. If I am distracted or sick I might listen to a BandMaid tune and be kinda meh. Then I pay attention and think was I smoking crack?! This is great!
"They kinda mastered that shlt" That would make a nice cross stich sampler. Gary Holloway can you get on that. Or a t shirt with that on it and a picture of Kanami shredding. Anyways love your channel for real. The founder (Miku Kobato) thought it would be cool to have girls in cutesy maid rigs come out and melt your face with impossibly hard rock and roll. To conclude - they kinda mastered that sh!t. Addendum: Guys these gents know their stuff! These two have reacted to TONS of the best rock and roll from back when I could put on my socks without throwing my back out! Incredible playlist from these fellows!!!
You would be amazed at how many female Japanese bands there are! They beat the west by a mile! Band-Maid, Lovebites, Brats, Wang Dang Doodle, Nemophila, Hanabie, and many many more. But Band-Maid is the top for me. Not just of Japanese or women bands either! They are my all time favorite band!
These ladies are part of a genre called Japanese metal. There are alot of great bands in it, with quite a few all girl bands. Once you indulge, you will never be the same lol. 🇯🇵 Remember to keep an open mind. It's like Cirque Du Soleil meets metal.
@@darkz3741lots of folks are too young to remember what proper rock and roll i.e. guitar centric non auto tuned vocal spendor freaking ROCK & ROLL music sounds like so they call it metal.
Singer is Saiki and she's great please do one of their regular songs so you can hear her. Live is fine especially if it's an official live video. Some have subtitles like Puzzle that is about a girl who is in love with a married man.
His Sacred Holiness TinyHat-san welcomes you to the Unseen World which leads to World Domination. (Don't worry, you'll understand later.) They are the best live rock band on the planet.
Lead guitarist Kanami Tōno and bassists Misa are top tier. They're consistently two of the best in the business today. Their lead singer Saiki makes for a great frontwoman.
![Twenty One Pilots - The Line (from Arcane Season 2) [Official Audio]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/XCz7WUotXs8/mqdefault.jpg)
You all ain't seen nothing yet with these ladies. THE BEST rock band on the planet. They are some of the tightest live performers I've ever had the pleasure to see live multiple times...and I saw them play this song live...amazing band with TONS of music.
Next step is usually the LIVE versions of 'Domination' or 'Freedom' where you will hear their incredible singer! You will enjoy it, I can promise you that!
😎🤘
Jonas what's good killa?
Watch DOMINATION live if you want to get a better idea. They're the best rock band on the planet in my opinion. They're incredible live and we, the fans, are called Maidiacs. Yes, their singer, Saiki, is evident. They don't have a bad song and they've been writing their own music for years. I was 66 when I discovered them and they dragged me back into rock when I'd given up on it because it had gotten so stale for me. I'm 72 now and listen to them almost exclusively because they put so many genres into what they produce. Watch the MV of INFLUENCER if you really want to get some variety that just might surprise you. Thanks for promoting them on your channel.
Yeah,63 here,and my daily dose of BM is a must,,like you i had given up on anything lighting my fuse again,then 3 years ago i found them,5 ladies in maid outfits,its insane aint it,,so so glad i found them.
I am 69 and in love with Band-Maid. Their music and musicianship is outstanding.
Band-Maid has been around since 2013, and has done so many AWESOME songs that no matter which song you pick from them you will be impressed. You can't find a bad song.
They have awsesome videos and are awesome live. You now have to see a song with vocals. Their singer Saiki is awesome too. Their lyrics are mostly in Japanese, with some English thrown in as well.
(Side note: They are truly appreciative of reaction channels and rarely (if ever) give them any hassles. I've seen their videos in reactions with little to no pauses or screen effects. The band doesn't seem to give reactors copyright hits like other bands do.)
Some song suggestions:
"Domination" (Official Live Video)
"Influencer" (Official Video)
"Manners/Black Hole" (Official Live Video) (Two songs)
"Shambles" (Official Video)
"Dice/Hate?" (Live at Lollapalooza) (Two songs. This isn't an official video, so the camera work isn't that great, but their performance is EPIC!)
"Daydreaming" (Official Video)
They even do great ballads. One of them is their song "Memorable." they were so overwhelmed by the positive support during their 2022 United States tour that they wrote this love song to their fans.
These are just a few of their MANY awesome songs.
Band Maid’s first music video “Thrill,” just hit 20M views. This band is special. Definitely in the hard rock space, so if you’re into that? The Maids will probably add 40-50 songs for your playlist.
“Onset” is one of four instrumental tracks; this is a musician’s band. Highly technical, progressive and tight.
You mentioned vocals and their lead singer, Saiki, brings a powerful but clean voice to this gritty rock sound.
“Play,” official live video would be a great follow up. Tasty, funky drums and bass intro followed by some energetic and uplifting choruses. Enjoy the ride 🚀
ditto to Play
Who would have thunk that five (including the lead singer) tiny little Japanese girls would come together to form one of the best rock bands I've ever experienced. Together for 10 years now, they have an extensive catalog of impressive music. I hope you guys do more from these ladies. MV's are great but live is where they really shine. Though they have played large venues I think they are really a club band at heart. Saw them in Charlotte, NC with 699 new friends and was blown away with how tight they were for the whole 2 hour set. Easily the best concert I've seen in many many years.
Welcome to Band-Maid! The best hard rock band I have heard in my 58 years on this planet. They don't stick to any one genre and often mix genres in songs. They are extremely diverse and have an extensive 10 year back catalogue featuring Punk, Pop-Punk, Hard-Rock, Classic Rock, Metal, Prog, Blues, Jazz, Groove, Rap etc. From face melting 220 bpm punk-prog to ballads, instrumentals to acoustics they do it all. They are also five of the nicest people in music, without a shred of ego. They are funny and fun and bad-ass musicians to boot. They are currently celebrating their 10th anniversary with the original line up. You need to go and see them next time they tour the US - but be quick, they sell out fast! I travelled to Japan from the UK just to see them. I caught four shows and they blew the roof off every time!
Btw, Miku the rhythm guitarist (red rose) formed the band. She had the idea of Band-Maid after working as a maid in Japanese maid cafe's. The idea is a concept called "The Gap" - that is what you see (cute maids) is NOT what you get (Hard Rock/Punk/Metal). They take the maid café concept literally. They call their concerts "servings" and their fans "Masters and Princesses". Oh, and Miku is an 810 year old small pigeon.
Rock didn't die it moved to Japan! There are tons of all female rock bands in Japan, from Punk to Heavy Metal, and has been for decades.
Wait until you meet Band-Maids lead singer Saiki, she is awesome too!
Welcome to the pigeon hole Po!
Holy crap! That was incredible! Never heard of these chick's before. Need to check out more of their stuff.
You've got ten years and over 120 songs to catch up on and worth every second. Welcome from the Maidiacs.
And it just keeps getting better and better!
Hands down the best band I have heard in decades, my suggestion, start with the 3rd studio album, Brand New Maid. So many different styles of rock on one album and the first song they wrote. I can put it on and not skip a song.
Always happy when people discover The Maids. They are such an absolutely awesome group of talented badass ladies.
I am not Mr politically correct by a long shot. But they're not chicks, they are incredible musicians that happen to be woman !
Welcome & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 Band-Maid is one of the best bands in our country, especially in live performance. They went on US tours once in 2022 and twice last year. They performed several times in your state, CA.
We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". The history is very long and the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Speaking of hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since as early as 1970s : Led Zeppelin / Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Deep Purple (1972), Queen (1975), Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick / Van Halen / Scorpions (1978), Judas Priest (1978/79) and so on. Now, any type of rock can be enjoyed here, especially by many all-female or women-fronted bands. They are daughters of American / European rock, for sure. (Many are grand-daughters in terms of age.)
Uh-oh, we also say "Japan is the country obsessed by Jazz". It had started earlier than rock 😄
Once again you bring the facts my friend. I haven't commented with you for a while and now it's twice in one day. Keep the faith !!!!!
Welcome to Band Maid!!
There is sooooooooooooooo much more to discover from them!
Check out Domination the official live on their RUclips channel
and yes they do sing and have a vocalist
🤘😀🤘
Haha, great reaction. "They kinda mastered that sh1t." Yes, yes they did. IMO the best hard rock band currently on the planet. This is an instrumental they play to give the vocalist a break during concerts. To see them with vocals, I'll join others in recommending the "Domination" Official Live video.
"SHOCKING!" Spread the word AB. Check out DOMINATION-LIVE for more Shock and Fun. Then their latest instrumental FROM NOW ON and you won't get to the replay button fast enough. You've hit the Awesome motherload. Peace. 37.7
Congratulations on discovering the very best band in the world today! Maybe "Dice & Hate" from Lolla next. Enjoy the ride!! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂🕊
good choice
We love our MAIDS, they are the best hard rock band out there, check out their other instrumental "From Now On". Having said that the lead singer is fantastic and they have over 100 songs on 7 albums in 11 years. A great organic group of fantastic musicians.
Finally! I've been hoping you'd find your way to this incredible band. They have over 100 recordings and there's not a bad one in there. As good as their MVs can be, the official live recordings are usually even better. And they are hard to classify into a separate genre because they mix so many genres into a song. Also they do incredible rearrangements of their hard rocking electrified songs into beautiful acoustic versions. You have to check out more. Just follow the leads of other commenters
Oh yes, they have a lot more. My absolute favorite band right now. My next request. BAND-MAID Dice. Mind blowing stuff! Do the music video first. Save the live video for later.
👍👍BAND-MAID rocking the house and us!! 🖖❤
Hej there Airplay Beats ! Welcome to the world of Band-Maid !
What a priceless reaction. The realization that these wonder women are women and from japan. still lol.
Hope to see more amazement about Band-Maid here in the future ;-)
Ok…gotta admit I never heard of them TY airplay 🎧 beats ! That was 🔥 fire those ladies no joke.
Yes. They sing. They are truly incredible. You cannot go wrong with them. Pick a song. Any song. You’ll love it. Promise. 👍🎸🎤🎸🥁🎸
Band Maid kicks ass! Now you need to check out Lovebites! They are a Japanese all women metal band. Good stuff, also check out Nemophila
Best band on the planet 🎎🤘🎎🤘
The best band in the world!
I laughed aloud through clouded vision at your realization of this wonderful organization of women. Thank You, Gentlemen. I enjoyed your reaction.
Gentlemen, welcome to the Wonderful World of Band Maid. In 10 years, they have gone from being on the verge of breaking up to the top of the heap in amazing hard rock on the planet. They have a MASSIVE global fan base on pretty much every continent. And the looks on your faces when you realize what you are seeing and hearing is priceless. Their technical precision in astounding and their composer and lead guitarist, Kanami Tono is a savant and to me is Japan's Brian Wilson. They are one of the very few bands today that do instrumentals and they are amazing at it, as you have seen. If you thought Onset was something, wait until you react to the music video for From Now On, which is harder and more complex. I'm 76 and from Brooklyn NY and have been following rock and popular music since the late 1950's and haven't seen this kind of talent in decades. They toured three times in the US between the fall of 2022 and end of August 2023. I saw them twice in 2022 and once in 2023 and have heard them play Onset and many of their other great songs.
They have a catalogue of over 120 excellent songs and haven't had a mediocre one yet. True music fans will appreciate good music no matter where it comes from and what language it is in and Band Maid typifies that whether it's the US, Mexico, Holland, German, Great Britain, France, Hong Kong or any other place on the globe that loves good music. As my good friend @flugelhornoldman1362 also mentioned, Japan has a vibrant and hot jazz/funk scene with a group of great musicians that consists of native Japanese and a lot of expats from the US and Europe living and playing there. And the amount of amazing Japanese female jazz musicians and groups is tremendous. They could play and wow crowds in NY, LA, Chicago and any other city you would want to mention. At the top of my bucket list is a trip to Japan to see my favorite musicians on their home turf before I'm no longer able to travel. Great reaction my friends and I look forward to more.
Great job!.....I hope to see more in the future....your reactions were honest and true....I think you may enjoy more Band-Maid....They are special!!.....you have over 130 different songs/compositions to choose from......they take their instrumentals serious.....the singer Saiki is very original...They Rock!.....enjoy the ride......recommend 'Domination' live version with CC button for lyrics ...also these popular Band-Maid songs/videos... Play...Dice....Onset...from now on....Warning.....many, many, ways to go
They are going to blow your mind....Jimmy Page is a fan, he went backstage to meet Akane, the drummer, because he was so impressed.
Glad to see you guys enjoyed Band-Maid
WOW. Talk about GIRL POWER ❗ This was amazing. Japan loves this frantic heavy guitar Rock. Well done Ladies.
I'm so glad you guys have finally discovered my favorite band =) Band-Maid is considered one of the best hard rock bands in the world ! They have been together 10 years and have a wonderful singer ! Please check out "Domination" Official Live or "Freedom" Live ! Thanks Great Reaction btw their fans are called Maidiacs ✌🤘
They've gotten really good over the years!
Not one of the best, THE best. (In my opinion). 😁
@@topographic1973ifyCorrect!
No Domination. Enough of it. There are way better MV'S
Actually this is the first time I've suggested Domination in a long time. Lately I've been pushing FROM NOW ON and also DICE/HATE live at Lalapalooza. Influencer is a great one too. In fact, just about anything.@@roumiaou
Finally!!! Band-Maid!!! My two favorite bands are Van Halen and Band-Maid. Rush is 3rd. Saw them live in Chicago, Nashville and Salt Lake City. Best live band in the world. The lead singer is amazing!
Agreed!
Ditto for fave bands too....
A couple of us here at Sonic Leader are progressive rock fans who've also been Maidiacs for years.
I subscribe to watch your reactions to the classic prog, and today I cheered when I saw you were doing Band-Maid. As a kid I loved progressive acts like Yes, King Crimson, Zappa and others that you guys feature on the channel. Band-Maid is the only musical group since then that's given me the same feelings of excitement, satisfaction and anticipation for each new song, album and concert. Also the same level of respect and admiration for each individual member.
They're not just a good hard rock group, they are creating a catalog of intricate and very original music that will endure and find new fans well into the future, I'm completely sure of it. They're definitely on par with the progressive and classic rock groups from the past you guys react to, and I'm so glad to see you checking them out!
Oooh that was fun! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the next one!
MORE BAND-MAID!!!👍
Great performance, great show
I love when people first discover Band Maid. As others have stated, quite possibly the greatest hard rock band on the planet right now. Do Domination live and you'll get a better feel for them.
As an old-school musician in my mid-50s, I have been one who has been cynical of anything new rivaling any of the great music of the past. That was until I became exposed to Band-Maid. These Maidens single-handedly reignited my love for the music that inspired me as a kid. I urge everyone to sample this band starting from their early work to their current stuff that way you can appreciate their progression as a band. I have been a hard critic of most current music and I rarely praise any band that has changed after being exposed to Band-Maid.
They have been prolific songwriters who produced well over 120 studio & and live tracks over ten year period. They average a new album virtually every year. They are exceptional instrumentalists who have demonstrated the ability to forge interestingly creative music that incorporates the best of Hard Rock/Metal/Punk/Funk/Pop to form a unique yet familiar sound that is catchy with a unique distinct signature of their own.
Their tracks have evolved from a straightforward Hard Rock/Metal/Pop Punk to a more Progressive Slant. Their music holds a wide variety of styles which has allowed them to produce tracks that are not predictable yet have a common thread that is distinctly Band-Maid. It is this quality that requires one to digest a minimum of 5 tracks to truly appreciate the greatness of this band. I happen to believe Band-Maid Is possibly the most important band keeping Hard Rock/Metal/Punk/Pop/Progressive Rock alive and well.
This is the one rare band that sounds better live than the studio. And I feel fortunate to have seen them live a few times in both LA and San Diego when they came through the last two times 8 toured in the U.S. This band needs to be illuminated and given the recognition they deserve and I hope to see you guys tap deeper into this important band.
Hear hear!
I'm also in my 50's and swore I would never fall into that music rut where I only liked stuff I grew up with. But low and behold I fell into that rut and almost got tired of music. Then I discovered Band-Maid and they turned me onto the amazing world of Japanese rock and metal.
I am listening to Brand New Maid as I am reading comments here........I'm 60 and had given up on even thinking of looking for new rock to listen to in the mid 90's lol. I am with you, BAND-MAID gave me back my joy for music. I literally want every person who has ever liked hard rock to hear this band.
♥ these girls! BTW - have you checked out The Warning? Both bands are big fans of each other!
These are like those "I practice 14 hours a day" chops...
Love these ladies. Seen 'em twice, in the past 18 months.
These ladies are so good !!
😏♥️🎙🎸🥁😎🤘
Guys, you've discovered a truly great band. Everything about this band is unique and exceptional, esp for me the songwriting. Glad you enjoyed them. Btw, their vocalist is wonderful so you might want to check out one of their regular, non-instrumental songs. If you prefer checking out another instrumental song by them (they play these instrumentals live to give their vocalist a break), check out "From now on." 👍
One of my Band Maid favorites is "From Now On (Official Music Video)."
Gotta admit I've heard of them but never listened to them
Ladies got some chops...wow
Some parts reminded me of Dream Theater when they get jamming
You should probably check them out also
Here is the first part of an info file I post for new reactors to the Ladies of Band-Maid. There is more to it if you are interested.

To see just how good these Ladies are currently, I suggest you go to @realdocloco channel and watch his video taken from the Ladies Hulu performance at last years Lollapalooza of the 2 song Dice and Hate? and yes the question mark is part of the songs name.
Was lucky enough to see them live in Chicago 2022. Theyre honestly one of the best group of musicians youll ever hear. And the fact theyre all 5 cute Japanese women adds on to the wow factor from how good they play. And the fans are some of the nicest and loving people on earth.
I also noticed your face light up when MISA (the bass player) did her solo. Shes an amazing bassist
ahhh boy. barely scratched the surface with this one hehehehe. band maid is awesome
Welcome to the fandom! Best rock band in the world right now! Been fortunate to see them play live twice in the last few years
They played for round 2 hours each time. By far the best 2 concerts I've been to!
I suggest these Band Maid songs: Thrill, Dice, Manners, Bubble, No God (live) & Puzzle (live)
I'd also suggest another all female band from Mexico - The Warning! Maybe start with Money, Disciple, or Evolve (live from MTV VMAs)
The band calls the contrast between their cutesy maid costumes and their hard rock sound "the gap". They enjoy seeing the confused looks on people's faces when they walk on stage and the reaction when they start playing with their hard rock sound.
My opinion is that Band-Maid are one of the best bands to have formed in the past 10 years, and are currently one of the best rock and roll bands on the planet. They play many genres and styles including ballads, power ballads, pop, rock, progressive rock, hard rock, punk, metal, nu metal, and everything before in-between and beyond. They also have several great instrumental songs like this that they use live to give their lead singer Saiki a break.
I don't know what musical style that you prefer but you can't go wrong by listening to Onset, From Now On, Moratorium, No God, Rinne, About Us, Play, Why Why Why, and my favorite Official Music Video of theirs Don't You Tell Me. The double bass kick drum on No God and Rinne will blow your mind. Have fun with it!
Introducing The Band...
Miku [mee-kuu] (Small Pigeon) - Rhythm Guitar, Vocals, Lyricist, Band Founder
Misa [mee-suh] (Barefoot Assassin) - Bass Guitar
Akane [aah-kah-nay] (Gorilla) - Drums

Band maid is a super live band
It even gets much, much better, please check out more, you will not be disappointed! My favorite band for years! Thanks for the reaction.
Welcome to the rabbit hole, gentlemen. This was introduction to Band-Maid and becoming a full fledged Maidiac.
I suggest Play (live video), followed by Domination (live), Freedom (live), and their jazziest track Manners (music video). From there, you can find the more punk rock songs and a few of their ballads. Enjoy the ride!
Airplay Beats , Welcome to BAND-MAID , Enjoy your journey down the Pigeon hole , MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! the Barefoot Bass Assassin , yes they have a great lead vocalist , may I recommend the song Domination , official live video from there channel , BAND-MAID has been around since 2013 . Im saw them twice amazing live performances .
Their live song "Freedom" has a drum solo. Also see the Japanese female metal band Lovebites with 2 shredding guitarists ("Holy War "- live is a good place to start).
Your facial expressions were priceless. Absolute disbelief. You couldn’t compute. 😂
Welcome to the Maidiacs, guys. This was a fun reaction. "The Gap" strikes again😂
They have a fantastic vocalist (actually two). I always recommend Domination Official Live to newcomers.
Glad y'all reacting to this band, they rock! "Unlucky Morpheus" is band from Japan who also rocks! There cover of "Far beyond the sun" cover is a great version of the song. Enjoy y'all!
Really great band! Seen them four times in the US. Incredible!
Impressive !!!
Go Laa! Go Chee! They rock! Never heard of them.
Check out some more of their lives, Domination, Freedom and Puzzle lives. You will enjoy, have fun!
Incredible musicians but a tough fan base to deal with !
These gals got chops for days. 🤘☮
I'm lovin' it.❤👍🇯🇵
Hey great reaction gentleman! Jeff here I love me some Onset, stay with this band!
Hey guys, loved your reaction to Band-Maid! They are a special band and introduced me to a whole new music scene,Japanese rock in general and the metal/hard rock female bands in particular, yes they sing! Love the vocal harmonies they incorporate and the lead singer who is not on stage here, Saiki, is quite gifted. You can’t go wrong with “Influencer , “Manners, “Play”. Domination or “Dice”, or one of my favorites “Puzzle” for the next reaction. Lots of Band-Maid for you to discover! I’ve followed Band-Maid for many years but really got deeper into the music when they toured the States in 2022. Don’t feel bad being late to discover them, enjoy them as I do as fresh and original music, I am now myself late to the party for another female band from Japan named Nemophila, I think you will really like them as well ( simply incredible, check out the official live for “Oiran” or “Rise”)
Yeah, they are huge. You got check some of their bigger songs with vocals. The lead vocalist and lead guitarist have pipes.
Thanks for the reaction.
130 songs over 10+ years, and not a bad aong in the bunch. Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey!
Yes, keep going. They are an excellent band. They happen to be women, Japanese women, but they are the epitome of a rock and roll band (minus the drugs, outsized egos, and internal strife).
🤣Haha ! Great reaction. “Onset” is one of their earlier instrumentals. Band Maid is currently the best rock band going in the world. I recommend watching “Thrill” which is their first, and most watched, music video. I’d also recommend the official live versions of “Freedom”, “Real Existence”, and “Play”. BTW, the lead vocalist is fantastic. I hope you react to more Band Maid music, as you’ll have plenty of great songs to choose from.
heatfelt har rock core with many many influences and little nuances. Great ppl and dope music...the real package. Love Band Maid and they still underrated.
yes they sound this good live.
They have MAID cafes all over japan, Founder and rhythm guitarist and HOTTIE MIKU used to work at one
LOL. Delayed Reaction Theater on a Wednesday. Yes, from Japan. Yes, that means they're Japanese. And yes, dressed as maids.
Stop it silly! You made me choke on my Yoo Hoo!

Japan has alot of all female rock/metal bands. Check out Nemophila, Love Bites, Hanabie, Gacharic Spin, many more.
As always, 👍for the Kings hat and, of course Band-Maid
Thank you for responding to BAND-MAID's song.
"Onset" demonstrates their technique in a fully instrumental track.
In particular, the tapping technique of the lead guitar "Kanami" stands out.
As a Maidiac, what I want you to see in this song is the bass guitar solo.
Misa's switching between picking and slap playing style is too fast and supernatural.
They may look cute, but they have amazing skills.
My favorite BAND-MAID instrumental song is "Without Folding Back".
I would be happy if you could react to this song as well.
ruclips.net/video/eEiE3ND7JEc/видео.html
thank you.
They played Lollapalooza this past year
THE best band on Earth. And yes, as you spotted, thay are indeed women and Japanese.

I discovered *BAND-MAID* in 2019 and came to a realization that *BAND-MAID* more then just a rock band they are a band that does not have any boundaries and is willing experiment into different genre from (Blues, Rock, Punk and Jazz) and a lot of fans including me would say “you got to check out their live videos” from:

Great band! Other female bands/groups from Japan I like are Babymetal, Lovebites, Aldious, Bridear, Cyntia & Destrose.
Definitely do some Loudness, Church of Misery, Hellhound & Sigh too, all from Japan. Japanese bassist Tetsuo Sakurai has some great stuff too. Gentle Hearts Live concert is awesome, Tetsuo with guitarist Greg Howe, drummer Dennis Chambers & keyboardist Akira Onizuka. Incredible concert!
Guitarist Ichika Nito is great too! And Masayoshi Takanaka as well, his Super Live 2012 concert is really good.
Thrill! is the gateway song to Bandmaid that I took. Hip swinging banger
You guys aren’t the only ones living under a rock. I’ve never heard these girls play before. I watched both of their videos. I’m not sure what genre you’d call it. But they were playing their tails off. Now I’ve got 1 for both of you. And when I suggest anything to both of you. I’m not asking you to react. Just one music lover, sharing something with fellow music lovers. Tokyo Groove Jyoshi. Funk # 1. I’d say they’re a Jazz Fusion Band. As always Thank You, you turned me on today. As always Peace and Continued Success ❤
Love your Rush reactions, fellows. Welcome to Band Maid! Live Band Maid is best Band Maid....

Welcome to the best rock/metal band in the world …… male or female! Yes, they have the best female vocals in the World (yeah, I use the phrase “…best in the world” a lot when talking Band-Maid.) The lead singer, Saiki, takes a break during concerts allowing the band to do what they do best. You noticed the drummer smile while playing but don’t be fooled, she is a beast. Her name is Akane, otherwise known as the Gorilla. The bassist is MISA, the barefoot assassin quite frankly the “best in the World” and the crowd favorite. The Lead guitarist, Kanami, composes the music and is a genius at what she does. And finally the most adorable Maid is Miku, the rhythm guitarist and backup singer. She is the founder of the band and lyricist. I discovered them in 2022 even though they have been around since 2013. I’ve been around since the 1960’s 1070’s so I’ve seen a lot of rock bands come and go. These women of Band Maid belong to rock royalty and I believe them to be the most versatile, technically proficient band ever. Besides, who doesn’t like girls who just plain rock!!!
From 1986 to 1996, there was a Japanese female five-piece rock band called "Princess Princess".
Misa (bass) and Akane (drums) studied music expertise at a music school where the bassist and drummer of Princess Princess served as vice president and advisor, and this led to the current BAND-MAID.
It is wonderful to see that rock music brought from the world to Japan is being passed on to the next generation, and that the Japanese rock scene is bringing joy and "Ikigai" to old-time rock fans around the world by reminding them of the greatness of rock music!
You guys would be amazed at the Japanese rock and metal scene, and there are a lot of all-female groups, all of them that I've heard are talented. Band Maid themselves have over 120 songs in their catalog and have been together with all of the original members since 2013. Their American audience is growing all of the time. They just wrapped up an American tour last fall and I think they sold out every show. I've listened to all of their music, and I haven't found one that I didn't like yet.
Just a comment. If I am distracted or sick I might listen to a BandMaid tune and be kinda meh. Then I pay attention and think was I smoking crack?! This is great!
Awesome guys. Newer and with singer? "Puzzle" Official LIVE from their official channel. Peace!
Small note, they're playing in the dark, that's how good they are
Check out their songs Choose Me, Shambles, and Hate? for more shredding, slapping, and drums plus great vocals.
"They kinda mastered that shlt" That would make a nice cross stich sampler. Gary Holloway can you get on that. Or a t shirt with that on it and a picture of Kanami shredding.
Anyways love your channel for real. The founder (Miku Kobato) thought it would be cool to have girls in cutesy maid rigs come out and melt your face with impossibly hard rock and roll. To conclude - they kinda mastered that sh!t.
Addendum: Guys these gents know their stuff! These two have reacted to TONS of the best rock and roll from back when I could put on my socks without throwing my back out! Incredible playlist from these fellows!!!
Better late than never.... They'll punch your ears, +10 years, +120 songs, all styles & genres.... Get prepped.
You would be amazed at how many female Japanese bands there are! They beat the west by a mile! Band-Maid, Lovebites, Brats, Wang Dang Doodle, Nemophila, Hanabie, and many many more. But Band-Maid is the top for me. Not just of Japanese or women bands either! They are my all time favorite band!
These ladies are part of a genre called Japanese metal. There are alot of great bands in it, with quite a few all girl bands. Once you indulge, you will never be the same lol. 🇯🇵 Remember to keep an open mind. It's like Cirque Du Soleil meets metal.
They are not metal, they make hard rock.
@@darkz3741lots of folks are too young to remember what proper rock and roll i.e. guitar centric non auto tuned vocal spendor freaking ROCK & ROLL music sounds like so they call it metal.
Welcome to The Maids, Gentlemen! 🕊
Singer is Saiki and she's great please do one of their regular songs so you can hear her. Live is fine especially if it's an official live video. Some have subtitles like Puzzle that is about a girl who is in love with a married man.
Nice
His Sacred Holiness TinyHat-san welcomes you to the Unseen World which leads to World Domination. (Don't worry, you'll understand later.) They are the best live rock band on the planet.
Lead guitarist Kanami Tōno and bassists Misa are top tier. They're consistently two of the best in the business today. Their lead singer Saiki makes for a great frontwoman.
