MISA (the bassest) has been with Band-Maid since the beginning. She was brought onboard from the suggestion of drummer (Akane) with whom she was already friends through the Tokyo school of music Next year will be the 10th anniversary of these fantastic musicians. If this doesn't get you're blood pumping you're already dead.
Let me start, with a WELCOME to the "pigeon" hole.....you two have NO idea the musical journey you've just begun.....Band Maid is, without a doubt, the most dynamic band in rock today.....they mix genre and style to create astoundingly complex songs that keep you involved whether a ballad, or a chunky metalish banger.....please enjoy the ride......might I suggest "Moratorium" live official.....really ANY video, but they shine especially bright live......nice work and thanks
OMG, this song is a thrill ride start to finish! I LOVE Band-Maid! The two best rock bands in the world today are Band-Maid and The Warning, IMHO. I am so glad that you have discovered both of them! The Ladies are Killing it!
@@gku8744 Yes, at the Aftershock Festival in Sacramento. I've seen it many times. They seem to have a lot of love and respect for each other, and why wouldn't they. LOL . That would be a dream tour for sure!
Jeff, Sue is right, way TMI on regularity. LOL Lovebites lost their bass player, Miho, just replaced by Fami. Now that you have found , and enjoyed, Band Maid and Lovebites, I'd like to suggest another Japanese all female band, Nemophila. Try Dissension, Reitei, Seize the Fate, and for Jeff's channel, covers of Iron Maiden's The Trooper and Aces High.
They have 2 other standout instrumentals (would be 3 as Play started out as an instrumental) - Without Holding Back and From Now On which is from their new EP which they performed at most of their shows on their recently completed US tour, there are plenty of excellent fancams available of From Now On (arguably their best instrumental so far). Instrumentally their songs are so good that they release instrumental versions of a lot of their stuff, usually as bonus CD's. Giovanni is my favourite of those.
Misa was thinking of quiting the band tho... Before their first US tour. She changed her mind during the tour after seeing the love from the fans. Imagine Bandmaid without Misa... ... ...
Ironically, rather than lose a player they've gained a player. Miku, one of the vocalists, took up rhythmic guitar to help give the band a fuller sound. In the 9 years since they were founded she's become a really great guitar player.
@@jofujino I agree 100 percent. Miku is the heart and soul of Band-Maid. Music is more than technical excellence. It's about making a connection to your audience. Look at Babymetal, they don't even play instruments.
There is only one MISA! Perfect fit for Band Maid. But a lot of great bassists in the Japanese scene where composers go out of their way way to highlight all the talents in a band. J-Rock and J-Metal here to stay. 🤘
Sorry Jeff but it's Lovebites that have got a new bassist. Misa is Band Maid's only bassist and is exceptional. Maybe try their performance of Manners / Black Hole. For an exceptional bassist try Asterism playing Dawn or Church.
The looks on your faces said it all, Onset is simply a MASTERPIECE!! Some other of their instrumentals that will knock your socks off are Without Holding Back and Giovanni. From Now On is spectacular as well, but has no MV. Thanks again!🤘🤩🤘
Thanks SueSue and Wolfman! "Onset" is a Masterpiece, no doubt, but believe it or not The Maids have so many Masterpieces that it's hard to remember them all...SERIOUSLY. Best, most complete band I've ever seen, and I'm an old(er) fart. Just drove 10 hrs each way to see them in Phoenix and they CRUSHED it! Pick any song from their channel. You'll be amazed. Again, thanks much! 🕊

Band Maid hasn’t had a line up change since their debut in 2013! They’ve been together all this time and their love for each other is very evident on stage and in their interactions off stage as well! From what I’ve seen other people say, band mates that genuinely like and enjoy each other is rare? Also, you two seem very knowledgeable and I would love to hear more of your thoughts about the music and technical aspects as well! What about Misa’s base solo was so amazing? What about this instrumental captivated vs other instrumentals you’ve heard? I’d love to know the whys behind it!
I love it that Kanami’s tapping technique made you forget about your lollipop. You never went back to your lollipop, that’s how sweet kanami’s guitar playing is.
This band are one of the very best bands out there… everything they’ve done to date has been excellent. And live they kill it. So so good. Recommend checking out their stuff, both on MV and live! Satisfaction guaranteed.
Fun fact, they started adding instrumentals partly because their lead vocalist, Saiki, was straining her vocals on long sets with too little downtime between concerts. Now they use the instrumentals, and the Omajinai-time, comedic interactions with the audience, to give her time to rest. On their recent, US tour though it was so exhausting even their guitarist had to take a back stage break and rest during Omajinai-time.
@@jofujino ya Kanami didn't do Japanese lesson time with Saiki during their last show so Miku filled in for her. And another reason they do instrumentals is because I think they want people to take their musicianship seriously and they know lots of people like instrumentals.
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: 31 Koba/Kuruppo/ Backing Vocals, Backing Tracks, Arrangements 10/21/91 Cluppo Kanami Tono Princess/ Lead Guitarist, Primary Composer, Backing Vocals, Keyboards, Backing Tracks Age: 31 Kanamincho/ Backing Vocals on Backing Tracks, Arrangements 9/28/91 Mincho Akane Hirose Gorilla/ Drums, Percussion, Backing Vocals on Backing Tracks, Backing Tracks, Age: 31 Ah-Chan Arrangements 12/14/90 MISA Barefoot Assassin/ 5 String Bass Guitar, Backing Vocals on Backing Tracks, Backing Tracks Age: 30 MISA-MISA-MISA Arrangements 10/15/92 Saiki Atsumi Ice Queen/ Primary Lead Vocalist, Backing Vocals, Lyricist, Backing Vocals on Backing Age: 28 Sai-Chan/ Tracks, Backing tracks, Arrangements 2/8/94 Sensei (Teacher) Band-Maid has had the same bassist from it's beginning. Lovebites is the one that has recently replaced their bass player. You are not the first reactors to make that mistake as MISA had changed her look (Hair style and "Uniform"/Costume), and that has confused a few people. As others have written, Band-Maid has several other instrumental compositions, plus several of their songs they have performed as instrumentals. Band-Maid is truly the only band I know of that you could pick ANY song of theirs and it will be a good song. Some may not be as top tier as others are, but they are still good, solid pieces of musicianship and singing.
This is a great performance, but their lead singer, Saiki, is a top-tier frontwoman, so maybe "Freedom" official live would be good next. Band-Maid has never had a lineup change, unless you count the addition of Saiki about a month after their founding when they decided to change from a four-piece to a five-piece. The members' ages were 24-27 at the time of this video, and they are 28-31 now.
You got it wrong sir. It’s Love Bites who lost their bassist. The lineup on BAND MAID is original till today! That bassist you just heard is Misa. They call her the Barefoot Assassin.
Great Reaction guys. My favorite Band Maid song. Misu is such a beast on bass. Hopefully you caught her switching from pick to fingers in the solo. So amazing.
No new bassist for our Maids - Misa is original. The whole band has been together since the beginning (for all practical purposes). Misa is a remarkable composer, player and performer; as is the whole band. 😀 These are older songs - about. 7/10ths of the music they create today. If you’re mind is blown now, you better strap in because as you listen to the newer songs, they get even more incredible 😮 Are you ready for “No God”? (Not an anti-God statement if your wondering) - official live video - from a virtual online performance during the pandemic. Bass Heaven! Take care and rock on 🤘🏼🔥🎼🎸😁
You are confusing BAND-MAID with LOVEBITES, BAND-MAID's bassist has not been replaced. The bassist of LOVEBITES is Miho, and the second generation Fami was unveiled in a RUclips video in October 2022. You will be amazed by new bassist Fami's slapping and fast finger picking. If you watch "Alien Alien" on her RUclips channel, which was uploaded 3 years ago with 10250000 listens on her content, you will be amazed at her world-class slapping skills. With the addition of new bassist Fami, the trio's harmony shredding may become a reality. Fami is a five-string bassist who can dance, sing, and play, and boasts 650,000 RUclips subscribers. Fami is 20 years old with a cute smile. She has a Bacchus Handmade Series signature headless bass WOODLINE5AC-HL Fami.
In case u haven't been introduced. Miku "small pigeon" Kobato: founder/2nd vocal/rhythm gtr./main lyricist. Saiki "the ice queen" Atsumi: 1st vocal/lyrics. Kanami "mincho" aka "princess" Tono: lead gtr./keyboards/composer. Akane "gorilla" Hirose: drums. MISA "the barefoot assassin": bass.
Band-Maid played this and "From now ON" on the US Tour that just concluded, both were amazing live! "Without Holding Bank" is another great instrumental from these ladies, also "Giovanni", which has words but is done as a instrumental too, and it's probably my favorite! The instrumentals give Saiki, the singer, a chance to rest her voice.
I too have been a Judas Priest fan since 1979 and they have been my only band to listen to practically since this century began, but by chance I stumbled upon BAND-MAID 3 and a half years ago and in a very short time they managed to relegate my beloved Judas, who I am celebrating their induction into the Hall of Fame, to the background. BAND-MAID are truly on another level. They reinvent Rock and Roll in every song they do. And Rock and Roll said: "You will love BAND-MAID above all things". "🤘🤘 ¡ ¡ ¡ B A N D M A I D H E A D ! ! ! 🤘🤘"
"They reinvent Rock n Roll in every song they do?" Really? Their 2 songs "Warning" & "Black Hole" was reinvented? Does The Warning come to mind? Uhhhhh, yes.
You still need to hear SAIKI and KOBATO singing live. I recommend again DOMINATION (quit different from the studio version), and also FREEDOM and PLAY, all from a performance captured before Covid.
MISA is the bassist. She is also known as the 'Barefoot Assassin'. She plays all live shows with bare feet. And assassinates the bass. It is definitely 'Lovebites' that changed bass players. Miho left and has now been replaced by Fami. A great clip for a reaction would be "Manners/Black Hole" (live). As brilliant as all the Maids are, MISA owns both songs in that clip. But any live performance suggested by any commenter, will knock your socks off. ruclips.net/video/iaf94nNSRGE/видео.html
Band-Maid always brings an ONSET of love, appreciation and happiness to their viewers. Why? Because they're so damn good -- good-natured, good-hearted, good-looking, and beyond good as writers, players and performers. Wow, right?!
"Onset" is the foundational instrumental for Band Maid, but they have evolved since then. There are several instrumentals, the latest "From Now On" is an instant classic. Btw, they are even more powerful and incredible in person, Po! They are all 29 - 31 years old. 2023 marks their 10th year together. Side note: they tend to release a song, EP, or full album every 365 days, just to show you how much music they have up their sleeves. >130 songs, 49ish MV's, and >500 fancams from their recent US tour, and they are just getting started.
Miku Kobato 31 (小鳩 ミク) - rhythm guitar, vocals, lyrics, the one who started the band Kanami Tōno 31 (遠乃 歌波) - lead guitar, writes most of the songs Akane Hirose 31 (廣瀬 茜) - drums, gorilla ;-) Misa - 29 bass godess (dont get me wrong all of them are godesses) Saiki Atsumi 28 (厚見 彩姫) - lead vocals and crowd control ;-)
Today i see you enjoy a nice guitar play, so i have to recommend you to have a look to Tina S. For sure one of the best you can experience. My Favorites are "For the Love of God" a Steve Vai cover, but mostly people startet with "Moonlight Sonata". Yes Beethoven on guitar. Or the Dragon Force song "Thrue the fire and the flames". Herman Li reacts to her, funny to watch his face while seeing that. She do this till the age of max 17y.. There still rumors what happens and why she sadly does no new Videos. But i hope she is fine and thankfully she giftet us some really impressive guitar experiences. Greetings from Germany, stay safe & healthy!
These are not "little girls" and though they may be smallish in stature, BAND-MAID towers over the rock-n-roll world, they dominate! FYI: they are all in their very early thirties, except for lead singer Saiki who will be 29 on Feb 8th, 2023.
Band-Maid didn't lose their bass player, that was Lovebites. Band-Maid is still all the original lineup. However, you're not the first reactors I've heard say that recently, so I think someone out there is spreading some bad information to reactors.
You see the progression of female musicians here in Band Maid. Kanami on lead guitar is the composer now. Misa on bass (always has been) and Akane on drums are all multi instrumentalists. Miku on rhythm guitar has had to learn craft since joining. This footage was taken in 2018 when they were in their mid 20's. Just concluded a 12 date tour of the US with 20k fans attending. Rave reviews as they are simply outstanding live as you see here. They really set the standard in female professional musicianship.
What's going on here is actually easy to answer. The for many, currently best rock band shows what they are capable of. 🔥🤘🏻 Another good song that can lift the mood quite well is certainly 'Freedom' (Live). And with that, also from me a slightly delayed 'Welcome to the pigeonhole' and greetings from Germany. :) _____________________ 「 _'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!'_ 」 --- *BAND-MAID* 'Manners' 🕊
They DO NOT have a new bass player. Misa has been with them from the start. Nemophila has a new bass player. Someone started a stupid rumor that Misa left Band Maid. NOT TRUE.
The thing about Band-Maid is that if MISA, the bassist, left the group there would be no more Band-Maid. Each member of Band-Maid is just as important as any other. Band-Maid is five of the most talented musicians in the world. Without one, there is none. This band makes me happy.

Sorry Wolfman but youre getting Band Maid and Lovebites mixed up. Band Maid have had the same lineup since they formed. Miku (original vocalist) the one with twin twirls and the red flower had the dream of a hard rock band dressed in Maid uniforms - she worked in a Maid Cafe. Miku first came across Kanami (Lead Guitar) on Japan's equivalent to RUclips back in 2012/2013 on which Kanami was posting home made videos of herself playing guitar. Kanami was approached and liked the concept. Kanami knew and suggested Akane (Drummer) and Akane knew and suggested Misa (Bass)... Shortly after they formed as a four piece band, Miku realised they needed a more Rock orientated voice for the vocals and so Saiki the one with the blue flower was brought into the lineup after auditioning, with Miku the original lead singer agreeing to learn to play Rhythm guitar to add to the bands musical flexibility - being taught by Kanami. Miku does occasionally take lead vocals and is the more outgoing of the band and so takes a lead role in promoting the band and interviews alongside Saiki.
I didn't read all the comments so you might have heard this. BAND-MAID did a cover of "Honey" (ハニー) by MUCC. It was a hidden track on the album "World Domination". Both versions are very good. imho. ruclips.net/video/lamaaLxPPT8/видео.html ruclips.net/video/TW9phmAGGEs/видео.html
I like most of their songs but I think I like the instrumentals best. The bass, drums, and lead guitar have a chance to let loose. Two other instrumentals that won't disappoint you are Without Holding Back ruclips.net/video/rF3RbQEowuM/видео.html and From Now On ruclips.net/video/pN_wg8UAz9A/видео.html . From Now On is my current favorite song.
speechless what talent and pleasing to the eye

Still the original maids since 2013. No one can ever replace MISA!
OMG, this song is a thrill ride start to finish! I LOVE Band-Maid! The two best rock bands in the world today are Band-Maid and The Warning, IMHO. I am so glad that you have discovered both of them! The Ladies are Killing it!
My 2 favorites also.
@@gku8744 Yes, at the Aftershock Festival in Sacramento. I've seen it many times. They seem to have a lot of love and respect for each other, and why wouldn't they. LOL . That would be a dream tour for sure!
Truth.
They are so Freaking Tight !!
Jeff, Sue is right, way TMI on regularity. LOL
Lovebites lost their bass player, Miho, just replaced by Fami.
Now that you have found , and enjoyed, Band Maid and Lovebites, I'd like to suggest another Japanese all female band, Nemophila. Try Dissension, Reitei, Seize the Fate, and for Jeff's channel, covers of Iron Maiden's The Trooper and Aces High.
...and, of course, SCANDAL.
Again, no one replaces MISA!

You forgot Don’t Be Long
@@ronniebrucehalford8396 Oops
Yes, "Giovanni", probably one of the craziest and best riff of Kanami's career. Fully shiny only when Saiki went to the bar for a moment to gargle. 😄
Who knew that the best dang rock band on earth would turn out to be four Japanese women and one 500 year old pigeon?🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Band-Maid never lost any members. They're all original! The girls are now 29-31 years old. They started in 2013.
Excuse me....Saiki's whispering in my ear that she's only 28 🤔
They're thinking of Lovebites lol.
Misa was thinking of quiting the band tho... Before their first US tour. She changed her mind during the tour after seeing the love from the fans. Imagine Bandmaid without Misa... ... ...

No new bassist for our Maids - Misa is original.

Take care and rock on 🤘🏼🔥🎼🎸😁
Replace MISA? This is possibly as much blasphemy as trying to replace Chris Squire from Yes.
You are confusing BAND-MAID with LOVEBITES, BAND-MAID's bassist has not been replaced.

"Without Holding Bank" is another great instrumental from these ladies, also "Giovanni", which has words but is done as a instrumental too, and it's probably my favorite!

💯% correct 🤙🏼
Band-Maid can never change any member, if that happens the band will disband them self.
Band Maid instrumental： From now on > Without holding back > onset.... they just get better and better.

The BAND-MAID bass player has never been replaced... it has been MISA from the start.
I too have been a Judas Priest fan since 1979 and they have been my only band to listen to practically since this century began, but by chance I stumbled upon BAND-MAID 3 and a half years ago and in a very short time they managed to relegate my beloved Judas, who I am celebrating their induction into the Hall of Fame, to the background.
BAND-MAID are truly on another level. They reinvent Rock and Roll in every song they do.
And Rock and Roll said:
"You will love BAND-MAID above all things".
"🤘🤘 ¡ ¡ ¡ B A N D M A I D H E A D ! ! ! 🤘🤘"
"They reinvent Rock n Roll in every song they do?" Really? Their 2 songs "Warning" & "Black Hole" was reinvented? Does The Warning come to mind? Uhhhhh, yes.
I always wear my MISA MISA MISA T- shirt when i listen to " ONSET " =) Check out another masterpiece by Band-Maid ! The "Blooming" MV =) Thanks
They have never lost any members, its always been these 5 :) Misa is an amazing bass player.
No it was Lovebites who got a new bass player. Band Maid have had the same line up for the past nine years.
As a Nightwish and Floor fan i must admit that this Japanese Band is one of my favourite
All good musicians
I've got the vibe since 2016
Read a few of the comments on the videos you do on Band maid and you wont have soooo many questions that have already been answered.
You still need to hear SAIKI and KOBATO singing live. I recommend again DOMINATION (quit different from the studio version), and also FREEDOM and PLAY, all from a performance captured before Covid.
MISA is the bassist. She is also known as the 'Barefoot Assassin'. She plays all live shows with bare feet. And assassinates the bass.
It is definitely 'Lovebites' that changed bass players. Miho left and has now been replaced by Fami.
A great clip for a reaction would be "Manners/Black Hole" (live). As brilliant as all the Maids are, MISA owns both songs in that clip. But any live performance suggested by any commenter, will knock your socks off. ruclips.net/video/iaf94nNSRGE/видео.html
Band-Maid always brings an ONSET of love, appreciation and happiness to their viewers. Why? Because they're so damn good -- good-natured, good-hearted, good-looking, and beyond good as writers, players and performers. Wow, right?!
"Onset" is the foundational instrumental for Band Maid, but they have evolved since then. There are several instrumentals, the latest "From Now On" is an instant classic. Btw, they are even more powerful and incredible in person, Po! They are all 29 - 31 years old. 2023 marks their 10th year together. Side note: they tend to release a song, EP, or full album every 365 days, just to show you how much music they have up their sleeves. >130 songs, 49ish MV's, and >500 fancams from their recent US tour, and they are just getting started.

Saiki Atsumi 28 (厚見 彩姫) - lead vocals and crowd control ;-)
MISA turned 30 a couple of weeks ago.
@@Metal_Auditor Alright, did know about the birthday. Did not know that it was the 30th 😅
No. Band-Maid has had the same line up for 10 years. You're confused . Lovebites has a new bassist.
This is the same bass player as always…Lovebites is the band who lost their bass player.
So many great bass players in Japan. Not a problem.
Misa Misa Misa the best bass player.
7:10 No. BAND-MAID is still the original lineup. No one has left the band since their forming.
MISA MISA MISA!!!!!! a cover that Band-Maid does is "Honey" originally by another Japanese band MUCCU
Hi kon-nichiwa こんにちは！！
Today i see you enjoy a nice guitar play, so i have to recommend you to have a look to Tina S.
For sure one of the best you can experience.
My Favorites are "For the Love of God" a Steve Vai cover, but mostly people startet with "Moonlight Sonata".
Yes Beethoven on guitar.
Or the Dragon Force song "Thrue the fire and the flames".
Herman Li reacts to her, funny to watch his face while seeing that.
She do this till the age of max 17y..
There still rumors what happens and why she sadly does no new Videos.
But i hope she is fine and thankfully she giftet us some really impressive guitar experiences.
Greetings from Germany, stay safe & healthy!
MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃
They just opened for Guns n Roses concert in Japan yesterday!
These are not "little girls" and though they may be smallish in stature, BAND-MAID towers over the rock-n-roll world, they dominate!
FYI: they are all in their very early thirties, except for lead singer Saiki who will be 29 on Feb 8th, 2023.
Uh, MISA is almost 5'9" and Akane is 5'6". Saiki is 5'4". The two tiny ones are Kanami 5'1" and Miku 5'.
@@ShikataGaNai100 Though SOME OF THEM may be smallish in stature...
Fixed it for you.
@@ShikataGaNai100 MISA 1,71 Akane 1,67 Saiki 1,63 Kanami 1,58 and Miku 1,55.
@@BeckMax My comment stands as posted.
@@ShikataGaNai100 I'm complementing your comment, not asking you to change it. Damn how upset some people gets with no reason.
👍😃
Band-Maid didn't lose their bass player, that was Lovebites. Band-Maid is still all the original lineup. However, you're not the first reactors I've heard say that recently, so I think someone out there is spreading some bad information to reactors.
That’s the original bass player. They have had the same members since 2013. The greatest rock/hard rock band in the world.
You see the progression of female musicians here in Band Maid. Kanami on lead guitar is the composer now. Misa on bass (always has been) and Akane on drums are all multi instrumentalists. Miku on rhythm guitar has had to learn craft since joining.
This footage was taken in 2018 when they were in their mid 20's.
Just concluded a 12 date tour of the US with 20k fans attending. Rave reviews as they are simply outstanding live as you see here.
They really set the standard in female professional musicianship.
Band Maid: Simply Beautiful 🤘😎
Miho left, the bassist of LOVEBITES, now they have a new bassist, Fami.

What's going on here is actually easy to answer. The for many, currently best rock band shows what they are capable of. 🔥🤘🏻
Another good song that can lift the mood quite well is certainly 'Freedom' (Live).
And with that, also from me a slightly delayed 'Welcome to the pigeonhole' and greetings from Germany. :)

They DO NOT have a new bass player. Misa has been with them from the start. Nemophila has a new bass player. Someone started a stupid rumor that Misa left Band Maid. NOT TRUE.
"Nemophila has a new bass player."
Lovebites, not Nemophila. Haraguchi-san has been with Nemophila from the start, and is still with the band.
Love Bites lost the bass player, they have a new one now.
The thing about Band-Maid is that if MISA, the bassist, left the group there would be no more Band-Maid.
Each member of Band-Maid is just as important as any other.
Band-Maid is five of the most talented musicians in the world. Without one, there is none.
This band makes me happy.
There is a reason I only listen to female, japanese bands nowadays....

Sorry Wolfman but youre getting Band Maid and Lovebites mixed up. Band Maid have had the same lineup since they formed. Miku (original vocalist) the one with twin twirls and the red flower had the dream of a hard rock band dressed in Maid uniforms - she worked in a Maid Cafe. Miku first came across Kanami (Lead Guitar) on Japan's equivalent to RUclips back in 2012/2013 on which Kanami was posting home made videos of herself playing guitar. Kanami was approached and liked the concept. Kanami knew and suggested Akane (Drummer) and Akane knew and suggested Misa (Bass)... Shortly after they formed as a four piece band, Miku realised they needed a more Rock orientated voice for the vocals and so Saiki the one with the blue flower was brought into the lineup after auditioning, with Miku the original lead singer agreeing to learn to play Rhythm guitar to add to the bands musical flexibility - being taught by Kanami. Miku does occasionally take lead vocals and is the more outgoing of the band and so takes a lead role in promoting the band and interviews alongside Saiki.
Misa is the original and current bass player. You're thinking of a different band.
No no no LOL. Why are RUclipsrs in the US keep saying they have a new bass player? lol. They are the same 5 ladies they always have been.
This MISA bass player change LIE needs to stop.....
Band Maid has had the same line up since their inception in 2013. They have no new bass player.
Cheers!
I didn't read all the comments so you might have heard this. BAND-MAID did a cover of "Honey" (ハニー) by MUCC. It was a hidden track on the album "World Domination". Both versions are very good. imho. ruclips.net/video/lamaaLxPPT8/видео.html ruclips.net/video/TW9phmAGGEs/видео.html
I like most of their songs but I think I like the instrumentals best. The bass, drums, and lead guitar have a chance to let loose. Two other instrumentals that won't disappoint you are Without Holding Back ruclips.net/video/rF3RbQEowuM/видео.html and From Now On ruclips.net/video/pN_wg8UAz9A/видео.html . From Now On is my current favorite song.
Yes, of coures
Man-made still has Misa as a bass player. Love bites lost Mijo as their bass player and now have fami their new bass player
Please do your research before making false comments about who was or is in the band. It makes you look very unintelligent.
Nope. MISA is the ONLY bass player ever of BANDMAID. You're welcome.
Band Maid NEVER changed their bass player.
Also, i challenge you to find someone who can replace Misa.
