Hello Band-Maid fans 🩷 thank you for your support and recs, I’m only 3 songs deep in Band-Maid and already enjoying the journey so much! I’m writing my deep dive on their career, if you’d be willing to answer a few questions of mine, you can follow me on Instagram and DM me, I think insights from fandoms are always the best when diving into an artist’s career. ALSO !!! On this channel I really want to push discovering new music and expanding the genres you listen to, so if you discovered me thanks to Band-Maid, I encourage you to maybe check another one of my videos on an artist or topic you’re less familiar with!! Thank you for watching my video. 🤟
The other huge all female band in Japan is Lovebites who also are amazing formed by bassist/Founder Miho and Drummer co-founder Haruna Miho whose idol is Steve Harris of Iron Maiden and Haruna who loves Helloween had a vision of a band honoring those MWOBHM bands of the 80's and beyond recruited 2 amazing women on guitars Midori who is a huge fan of people like Nuno Bettencourt and Yngwie Malmsteen who also is a Bodybuilder taking 2nd place recently at the competition. Then Miyako who also plays piano being classically Trained with idols ranging from Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple and Gary Moore to Chopin, Rachmaninov and Dvorak. In 2018 They won Metal Hammer Golden God award for best new band in London and also was the 1st Japanese band to play at Wacken. In 2021 Miho for personal reason left the band and Lovebites went on a yearlong hiatus where Asami and Miyako both became mothers and honed their musical skills miyako and Midori practiced a ton together to get even tighter and Asami worked on her vocals to get better at her pronunctiation of english. when they returned they held auditions in summer of 2022 for both male and female bassists worldwide and found Fami who had a following already at the young age of 20 of 650,000 followers of her on RUclips I decided to share with you 3 songs with you 2 MV's and a Live since like Band Maid they are best live Lovebites Shadowmaker MV ruclips.net/video/Brmoln5Gxus/видео.html (Miho on Bass) Lovebites Hammer of Wrath ruclips.net/video/pHrWRT0Jeac/видео.html ( Fami on Bass Asami tells crowd with a yell "We Are Back!!!") Lovebites Unchained MV ruclips.net/video/vbbMpq2zghQ/видео.html (Brand New Song released ahead of an EP Lovebites II to be dropped later this month)
Also this Band Maid song is my Favorite it has an unworldly duel between bassist Misa and Guitarist Kanami so legendary Band Maid Hate? also Lovebites may have a deeper Maiden influence then Band Maid does also expect the Wolf Pack when reacting to Lovebites ]:P Both Lovebites and Band Maiden are amazing live
Other Female bands and female led bands include: Japan Bridear,Aldious,Mary's Blood,Fates Gear Hagane, Hanabi, and East of Eden Female led bands Unlucky Morpheus,Asterism, and Babymetal Korea Rolling Quarts Mexico The Warning Usa Liliac just a few mostly Japan they and Korea are amazing for groups
oh BTW Lovebites will be in the U.S in September starting with Sold Out Prog Power Festival in Atlanta then Dallas/Los Angeles/ and San Francisco Dallas and Los Angeles had to upgrade the Venues due to ticket sales, ]:) am hoping they add more
You haven’t seen anything yet … you still have to find their ballads, their acoustic sets, their instrumentals, their cover band of themselves, their April Fools day jokes/special presents to their fans … then you move on to discover the band’s back story,their individual back stories,their special personas, how they feel about each other and their fans. The love of their fans for everything about the band, and the love between fans, and the total lack of any barriers (age, gender, race, nationality, etc.) I’m 67, was lucky enough to have discovered them on the first day of their first RUclips release (Thrill), grew up listening to all the greats of rock & metal … these girls are really something special … and the only thing that approaches the joy of listening to a band-maid song is watching a new fan discover the wonder that is Band-Mail. Thanks for discovering the Maids & their Maidiacs … we won’t let you down!
Don't worry about being "late" to Band-Maid, you're here and that's all that matters. Doesn't matter if you've been here the last 11 years or the last 11 minutes you're just as welcome into the fandom. Also, Band-Maid is an underground act and stumbling across them is how everyone discovers them. Just keep spreading the good word.
True, but I will ask the newcomers to pray for those of us that salted the many evil ones that insulted the living h*ll out of Band-Maid. We attempt to live under the heavy curses of the racist misogynist rock/ metal haters. We are heavily scarred by the combat sorcerers that were attacking Band-Maid and other Japanese Women Bands. Not a joke, not hyperbole, they hate our music and we fought them with our souls. Newcomers we love you but believe that just a few years ago there was evil opposition to our Angelic Maids.
What separates Band-Maid from all other bands, imo: strength of songwriting, proliferous creativity; quality and depth of musicianship; unique Individual style & captivating performance; palpable band synergy; expansive soundscape; and consistency of excellence. All of that requires years of long hours of hard work, laser focus, compatibility, and a shipload of talent. Piece of cake! 🍰🎀Thx, Leo!
BAND-MAID IS THE BEST DAMNED ROCK BAND IN THE WORLD (male or female)!!!!! The more you react to the Maids, the larger your RUclips channel will grow. Now, we are probably going to drive crazy with requests and comments (all good). Leo keep it up and you'll grow into becoming a Maidiac.
OMG what a fantastic Triple header. BAND-MAID encapsulate everything that is good about music & everything they do is done with a smile & love for their fans. One of them is me. 🙋♂️
It's hard to believe there is this much talent and energy in music today much less in one band of young ladies. Absolutely love them, just ordered their new DVD.
Je regret that you only now found out about them - but that's how we all felt the first time we heard them. It's like "why are they not known worldwide?!" The good news is, they're getting there! Thanks for helping out with that.
Your excitement is contagious! Really glad you found our Maids. Looking forward to watching your journey into the best hard rock band there is! 🙂 Enjoy!
Seen them twice live, they are definitely the real deal. Their enthusiasm and joy on stage, their musicianship and love of their fans shines through. Definitely do not miss them if they are anywhere near you.
Welcome back to Band-Maid Princess Leo (The Maids call their fans Masters and Princesses). A great trio of songs to do reactions. What you will find, is Band-Maid does extended/added intros or solos in their Okyu-ji's (what they call their live concerts, which translates to "Servings"). The Maids have mentioned these as being a little extra treat for Masters and Princesses making the effort to see and support them live. The breakdowns/solos in the live "Domination" and "Hate?", they only a fraction of what did in these videos. So even if you don't do a reaction to "Domination" and "Hate?" studio versions, you may want to listen to them just to hear the differences and if they added or changed anything. Deep dive Band-Maid? The Ohrenje channel has a 7 part documentary series. It seems like a lot, but as the saying goes, "Time flies when you're having fun". The information provided is interesting and fun. And the production is fantastic. Some reactors have done the documentaries as reactions. The order is Saiki --> Kanami --> Akane --> MISA --> Miku (3 parts). There is an old and new updated version of Saiki and Kanami. If you ask me both versions are great. So if you react to new version , I would suggest you watch the old on your own just to see what was added. There's also a show called "Music Gold Rush" episodes 73 and 74 which features Band-Maid. It's in Japanese, but there are subtitles. It's very informative and fun. It also give some insights into their personalities/personas. Also worth the watch even if you don't do a reaction. PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘
Bonjour Princess! Time you met the ladies, here's a little info on these wonderful people. They are unique characters indeed! Miku Kobato "Little Pigeon" - band founder - rhythm guitar and second vocals. Main lyricist. Claims to be an 810 year old pigeon and makes pigeon noises when she speaks. Po! Very good at poker, really into horses and horse racing. Very clumsy, may fall into ditches. Has the energy of an average nuclear power station mixed with weapons grade cuteness. A comedian onstage - literally! She is the heart and soul of the band. Saiki Atsumi "The Ice Queen" - Lead vocalist and frontwoman. The youngest member at 30. Into train spotting and collecting trainers (sports shoes). Very girly, into doing her nails and is a fashion icon. Really into Baseball and the Hanshin Tigers. Don't mess with her you will lose. But she has a heart of gold and a killer dry sense of humour. Recently started writing lyrics. Has final say on songs. Kanami Tono - "Kanamincho" but usually just "Mincho" for short. Lead guitar and an absolute genius songwriter. Total riff machine. Has two personas. Normally a tiny cute shy very polite lady who seems very innocent (the band have to explain dirty jokes to her). Until she puts on her guitar. As the band say: "then she gets quite violent" - she turns into the shredding rock star she is. Takes guitar off, back to the little girl. Likes cakes, coffee and is totally infatuated by Saiki. She adores Saiki very much, to everyone's amusement. Akane Hirose - "The Gorilla" on Drums. Seems to be the sane member of the band, but is actually the band clown. Has an enormous appetite, seen eating in a lot of MV's. Eats a lot of bananas including on stage, hence the nickname. But she is terrible at actual cooking. Usually has a big grin on her face while drumming manically, Akane was also a DJ (under the name DJ Achi) and likes dancing and goofing with MISA. She also plays trombone! MISA (all caps, no last name) "The Barefoot Assassin" on bass. An absolute bass prodigy, MISA is very shy onstage (and a total clown offstage with Akane). Nickname comes from the fact she plays barefoot and looks like an assassin. Because of shyness often drinks onstage, you can often spot a bottle of Jim Beam on her amp. She drinks it neat. Lately drinking more beer than whiskey though, good girl. Doesn't say much, but when she does it's usually totally hilarious! At a lot of concerts you will hear the fans chanting MISA! MISA! MISA! which has become a slogan.
I've seen them live in a smaller venue and they sound great. The energy they gave out during their concert was off the charts. This pigeon hole you're in, called Band Maid is one you'll never get out of. And that's a good thing. Hopefully you'll get to watch them live. Enjoy your journey.😊
You are French, Léo! Merde, me too. 😃 I hope we can get to know each other (en tout bien tout honneur) next year in Paris during the Maids world tour. Congratulations on your channel and your reactions.👍
@@LEO_IS_VIBINGG I'm not very active on social media but I'll do my best. You are right, the French community of Maidiac must mobilize to give a triumphant welcome to the Maids. See you soon Leo.
Live or studio Band-Maid rocks! I've seen them four times live, and they are amazing in person! These ladies reinvigorated my interest in new music! New look and sound is good! No bad songs from these ladies!
I wouldn't call them the best rock band in the world, but definitely one of the best hard rock bands that ive ever heard. Incredibly entertaining live shows too.
Great reactions, Leo! Band-Maid are a superb live band. After 4.5 years of being a Maidiac, I'll finally be seeing them live at the end of November at Zepp Haneda!! 🤘🤘💕💕
Thank you for your reaction, I'm happy from Japan！ I recommend to you Music video of 【Don’t you tell ME】by BAND-MAID. I think it suits you. Bon voyage！💐
La belle France has not yet been "dominated" by Band-Maid, but it is only a matter of time. These women have it all - technical wizardry (but without endless self-indulgent soloing), captivating stage presence, pounding rhythms and beautiful melodies, sharp, witty and perceptive lyrics and above all an unstoppable energy and charm (and beauty too, yes) that only leaves you wanting more and more. Plus they are all very grounded, hard-working and humble. And they treat their fans "royally", as masters and princesses to be served and entertained. What is not to like about Band-Maid? Welcome to the best musical addiction ever!
I always enjoy seeing people react to Band-Maid. No one expects what Band-Maid does consistently: deliver beyond expectations every time. These ladies can practically play "Choose Me" while sleepwalking. At Yokohama Arena they all took off from the stage and walked around the arena, never missing a note, running back to the stage at the last moment. They are such experienced and practiced musicians that nothing fazes them. About the "Exactly like the recording" performance. They do play to a click track and a backing track. But they produce and modify their click and backing tracks for their live performances. At this stage of their career they self produce in the recording studio. Kanami is a classical trained pianist and accomplished MIDI programmer and it shows in their performances. Yes, they are an amazing live concert. Yes they DO interact with the audience. A lot. Do see them live. You will not be disappointed.
Great to have you back with *Band Maid!* Looking forward to more. As far as the songs themselves loved them 🎀🎀 Band Maid has quite a varied catalog, excited to see you go through it 😃 🤘❤🔥🤘
The only other band I’ve heard whose live concerts sounded just like their studio recordings is a band called Rush. I’ve seen Romes Colosseum, Arizona’s Grand Canton, and Band-Maid live in Detroit and all three of these were life altering experiences.
Thanks Leo, you picked three great and accessible songs, BM can get chaotic, fast and hard but there are many mid tempo gems as well, welcome home princess👑
The moment you thought was cute in Domination, they were making faces at the drummer, Akane, to make her mess up (she didn't) because she did something that made the singer, Saiki, laugh while she was singing in the song played before this. It's an example of them having fun in the concerts.
Want to see them having real fun and smiling all the time? Then watch "Freedom" live. It's one of their greatest live performances concerning joy of playing! I don't know of any other band where the fans' playlists differ so much. So, this is just a quite random selection of songs: For some very special live videos try Freedom, Play, Real existence and Endless Story. With Moratorium (Live at Zepp), Rinne (MV) and Dice you can hear more hard rock while more catchy songs are Choose me (MV), Bestie (MV) and Alone (MV). And if you want to hear some ballads then maybe About Us (MV) and Daydreaming (MV) are good picks. But don't miss some of their instrumentals like From now on (MV) and Onset (Live). And finally a very special live performance is Manners/Blackhole (Official Online Live)🍌 And there is more: For example the songs with Miku in lead, their christmas acoustic concert and the 'cover band' Band-Maiko ;-) But if you want to start at the beginning of their career (2013-2017) then go with Thrill (MV, their first video), Real Existence (second video), Alone (MV, first own composition), Freedom(best LIVE performance), Choose Me, Play (LIVE!), ... Some other band recommendations? Then try "The Sixsters" from Ukraine (Pick any song) and "Gacharic Spin" from Japan (song: "Mindset").
Thank you very much for your reaction video! So much enjoyed you are enchanted by BAND-MAID's music. May the day come when you attend their concert and make music together! It will be truly an exceptional experience.
DOMINATION live was the 22nd song of their 23 song set and begins with a segue that is the dying away of the last note of the previous song PLAY. At 12:41 - MISA, the bassist, Kanami the lead guitarist and composer, and Miku the rhythm guitarist, main lyricist and founder of the band, are playing Hengao - "strange faces" - with Akane the drummer, which is making funny faces to try and put someone off. Akane, of course, laughs along while not missing a beat. It shows the ladies' confidence in each others' abilities that they can fool around like this while all of them slam out note-perfect Rock at full tilt. At 13:19 - MISA the bassist is holding her plectrum in her curled finger so she can produce it and switch from slapping to picking in half a nanosecond! At 14:03 - Akane the drummer is hitting two separate beats on her double kick pedals while simultaneously continuing the song melody on her snare, toms and cymbal. At 15:09 - a brief glimpse of Kanami on lead guitar laying down one sweet rolling chord pattern - pure class. THE best live Rock band on Earth.
Speaking of suggestions, the Maids have done a lot of MVs. Bestie is one of the latter and surprised many fans for several reasons. A very good song though.
Wonderful reaction and comments to three terrific Band-Maid songs. You've heard a few now from the hard rockin' end of the spectrum, but Band-Maid does it all. If you like a good ballad, give the Daydreaming MV a try. If you want to see what they can do acoustically, maybe try Catharsis or Sayonakidori. If you want one of the most gorgeous songs (and MVs) they've ever done, try Gion-Cho. If you want an experience of going from a funky blues to a thrashy prog, try the two-for-one special, Manners & Black Hole. Look forward to next time!
Considering how much you like their costumes, trust me, you'll want to put "Secret Maiko Lips" high on your list of videos to watch. For more of the band's camaraderie, the live version of "Don't you tell ME" is great. And for phenomenal Saiki performances, try the combination video of "Manners/BLACK HOLE" and especially the live version of "Endless Story."
As someone who has wandered the musical desert 🏜️ for decades, unable to find any satisfaction in any new music, at least in my local area in Washington State just north of Portland Oregon where our radio stations are located, they are the oasis 🏝️ that I had been thirsting for far too long, so long that in August 2023 my opportunity to see them in person was realized, and this is the first concert I've attended in over 25 years, that how powerful their influence upon me is, I got in line at 5am that day in order to ensure a good place for the show, having some physical limitations by the time the concert was ready to happen my level of pain was debilitating, having said this it was the best concert I've ever attended in my life, they are a must see and I will suffer any amount of pain to see them again and again, I'm confident that you will have your chance in 2025 to see them also, found your channel today and subscribed, good luck in you future both with your channel and seeing Band Maid live.
These ladies already won my heart a few years ago, but that doesn't matter, the main thing is that you are here today, know and like them and therefore you are one of us! 😉And with that, greetings from the 'neighborhood' in Germany and welcome to the pigeon-hole of this amazing band. 🙋🏻♂✌🏻 Recommendations are difficult at this point, as the statement that none of their 130+ songs are bad is indeed true (I didn't believe it at first either). But off the top of my head I would name the following ones: ※ Freedom (Official Live) --- Pure fun and many years something like their unofficial anthem ※ Wonderland (Official Live) --- A little bit different style, but no less interesting and a showcase for vocalist Saiki's voice ※ Don't you tell ME (Official Live, from 5 months ago) --- Since you seem to like bassist MISA and guitarist Kanami a lot. :) ※ Endless Story (Official Live, also from 5 months ago) --- After 3 hours and 40 minutes, the last song of their 10th anniversary concert last year. Turn on the subtitles and you'll know by the end why we love these ladies so much. Again, Greetings and welcome. 😇✨ _____________________ _"America invented rock. England improved it.

I'm glad you have understood how much fun they are live, and want to see them. I, and a lot of other Madiacs here, can confirm that they are ridiculous amounts of fun to see live. Rock on Leo!
Can't be better than an absolutely gorgeous girl totally fan-girling over one of my favourite bands! A near complete band when it comes to composition, musicality and stage-presence! Next song? "Blooming" is a favourite of mine. There are some live-recordings of it. But it's close to one of their most complex songs. Especially the vocals are ridiculously hard!
Okay, you have two options. First, wait for them to come close to your hometown during their world tour. Second, pack your bags, grab your passport, and go see their concert in Japan. You only live once-who knows what tomorrow will bring? Go where you want, see what you want, and enjoy life while you can.✨🥰🤘
What’s better than a Band-Maid video and reaction? A Double-feature video and reaction. But a TRIPLE feature? Thank you Leo for a great reaction. Keep up the great work, you have discovered the greatest Rock band of all time! I LOVE BAND MAID ❤❤
Haha I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's really easy for me to have cool reactions to them 😂 they ROCK. Also people are requesting so many songs that I think I'll do a triple feature a month until the end of the year!
Best band maid reaction I’ve seen in a long time If you want to see more of the best new metal in the planet which is all women from Japan You should check out Lovebites If band maid is the guns and roses Lovebites is the new Queensryche / Iron Maiden Their talent is limitless as one guitarist is a classically trained guitarist ; the other is a prize winning body builder and the singer is a trained ballet dancer Incredible women I think you would love edge of the world Hammer of Wrath Swan song with Chopin intro are 3 songs I would suggest
@@LEO_IS_VIBINGG I would pics that and I think you’ll enjoy not only their talent , joy but also their aesthetic If you need links to songs let me know Ty so much
if you want to know better the band maid I recommend that the reactions to the documentaries that are shown here about them are very good Saiki: ruclips.net/video/8IvcvAafH3w/видео.html Akane: ruclips.net/video/5fxIyUngHd8/видео.html Misa: ruclips.net/video/EwBQPj6TabY/видео.html Kanami: ruclips.net/video/lGS5KU2S2D0/видео.html and the band leader with 3 videos Miku Kobato part 1: ruclips.net/video/m0dYUlJ5E60/видео.html part 2: ruclips.net/video/cerctLRhgHE/видео.html part 3: ruclips.net/video/RYWUptnlUTo/видео.html sure you like it and appreciate it more than Band Maid
Leo, Yes, the Maids are incredible musicians -and they love to rehearse - so their live performances are second to none with precision, and accuracy to the studio sound - AND they still manage to have an absolute blast 💥 “serving” the audience!! Few bands have ever reached the performance level of the Maids. Continue your journey down the “Pigeon Hole” and you’ll see!! You’ll be overwhelmed with song reaction requests because in 11 years the Maids have recorded 120+ songs and literally there isn’t a bad one in the bunch! Yes, the band has grow, improved their skills, and evolved over the 11 years. So there are Maidiacs who have an era of the Maids and will request songs primarily from that period. One suggestion is to start at the beginning and go forward. My alternative would be to start with their most recent songs and go backwards through their remarkable discography. Or just do random songs. Either is fine and you’ll have a blast either way ! 🎉 Most recent songs: - “Protect You” - OMV - yes, it’s an Anime theme song. Newest song. - “Unleash!!!!!” - OLV - newer song another from 10th - “Don’t You Tell ME” - old song from 10th show - “Shambles” - OMV - Heavy! - another Anime theme song. -“Influencer” - OMV - TALENT on display!! Or - “Endless Story” - OLV - 10th Anniversary Show Closer - tears & love ❤️ between the band and the fans on display. Or -“Thrill” - Original Music Video - where it all began to happen for the band!! Lore and fun! Take care, enjoy the journey, and rock on 🤘🏼🔥🌎🎸🎤🥁🎼🍀🙌🏼😎✌🏼
Oui, les Maids ont fait une tournée en Europe et joué à Paris, tout cela avant la pandémie. Malheureusement, elles ne sont pas revenues depuis, malgré plusieurs tournées aux États-Unis. Elles ont décidé de rester au Japon toute l'année 2024, mais devraient faire une tournée à l'étranger en 2025. Je sais que tous les Maidiacs européens ont hâte de les accueillir en Europe bientôt ! Yes, the Maids have toured Europe and played in Paris; all before the pandemic. Unfortunately, they haven’t returned since, despite playing in the United States multiple tours. They’ve decided to stay in Japan all of 2024, but should tour overseas in 2025. i know all European Maidiacs are desparate to have them in Europe soon!! Take care 🤘🏼🔥🎸🎤🎼🥁🌎😎✌🏼
「最高の演奏はいつも最新のライブ演奏の中にある」 「BAND-MAIDの法則」のひとつと言われているものです。 彼女達は難度の高い演奏をいとも容易くやってのけます。それはまるでアクロバットをしながら自らその危険を楽しんでいる達人のお遊びのようなものかもしれません。 そして自分達の音楽を磨き上げより素晴らしいものにする事を楽しんでいます。 スタジオ録音は彼女達の音楽の最初の見本にしか過ぎず、ライブを重ねながら改訂を続けている事を公言しています。 そして圧倒的な多様性を彼女達はもっています。 140曲もの曲はあらゆる音楽の要素をもっており、強烈なエレキギターの音からアコーステック版に至るまで、退屈とか飽きるという言葉と無縁の世界です。 クラッシックから現代音楽に至るまでのあらゆる音楽の要素を取込み自分達のスタイルで進化さていると言えます。 激しく、速く、複雑で熱い曲がアコーステック版になり、優雅で優しく暖かい曲に変化する様は魔術か魔法のようです。 彼女達の演奏力の高さはインストゥルメンタル曲で良く分かります。 これらは是非聞いて欲しいものです。 「onset」、「from now on」、「without holding back」は圧倒的です。 以下は私の独断で選んだものです。 万人向けと言えるもの、 「Play」、「Thrill」、「FREEDOM」、「Manners」、「RINNE」 前衛的なもの 「Different」、「influencer」、「BLACK HOLE」 抒情的なもの 「anemone」、「about Us」 彼女達の音楽の多様性は驚くばかりです。そしてその質はとても高いです。140もの曲の中からきっと好みの曲がみつかります。そして好みでない曲も何度か聞いているうちにその良さが分かるようになります。 彼女たちの曲に「駄作」はありません。 'The best performances are always among the latest live performances.' It's what's known as one of Band-Maid's Laws. The girls can pull off difficult performances with ease. It can be like the play of a master acrobat who enjoys the danger of his own acrobatics. They enjoy refining their music and making it better. They have stated that studio recordings are only a first sample of their music and that they continue to revise it through live performances. And the diversity is overwhelming. The 140 songs have elements of all kinds of music, ranging from intense electric guitar sounds to acoustic versions, and are not associated with the words 'boredom' or 'tiredness'. The band has taken elements of all kinds of music, from classical to contemporary, and evolved them in their own style. The way in which intense, fast, complex and hot songs are transformed into acoustic versions, graceful, gentle and warm, is like magic or spellbinding. The girls' performance skills are clearly evident in their instrumental songs. These are definitely worth a listen. 'onset', 'from now on' and 'without holding back' are overwhelming. The following are my own selections. The ones that I would say are for everyone, 'Play', 'Thrill', 'FREEDOM', 'Manners', 'RINNE'. Avant-garde. Different, influencer, BLACK HOLE. Lyrical. 'anemone', 'about Us'. The diversity of their music is astonishing. With 140 songs to choose from, you're sure to find something you like. And even if you don't like a song, you'll appreciate it after you've listened to it a few times. There is no such thing as a 'bad' song. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
Lovely reaction--great idea to do three songs. I thought your camera did very well recording your video and sound, but the volume for the music was a bit low.
Leur dernier (et unique) passage en France c'était en 2017, et malheureusement rien n'est encore prévu pour qu'elle reviennent en Europe 😢 Mais on garde espoir ! Je profite de ce petit commentaire pour te rediriger vers un autre français tellement fan de BM, qu'il a créé une chaine YT et un discord dédiés à BM, le seul et l'unique Orenje ! Sa chaine YT propose des docus sur chacune des membres et je te recommande chaudement d'aller y faire un tour. Son discord accueille avec grand plaisir les reactors YT alors Fonce !!!! P.S : Je vais quand même te recommander quelque chose parce qu'il y a tellement de bonnes ziks chez BM ^^ donc ma reco ce serait : Puzzle (MV) puis Puzzle (Live) et tu finis par Puzzle (Accoustic Live) et tu te régales :) Cya !
Band＝made has a wide range of musical styles even among Japanese girl hard rock bands, so please listen to a lot of their songs! There are not many live videos, so Please watch a lot of PVs.
Better live, better live, better live, every single time, every single song, every single Japanese band. And, should you care to pursue the idea of, "Why didn't anybody tell me about them," let me introduce you to my favorite Japanese bands, all of which deserve the comment, "Why didn't anybody tell me about them?" One Ok Rock: Take Me to the Top: ruclips.net/video/0dct9gJo6U4/видео.html Doll$Boxx: Fragrance: ruclips.net/video/3N7z4bR2V_4/видео.html Wagaki Band: Letter with no Name: ruclips.net/video/-RNp2EoNB1Y/видео.html Hanabie: In Taiwan: ruclips.net/video/NORZHwHFLD0/видео.html Band Maid's best melody: Daydreaming: ruclips.net/video/g6S05uwq8-M/видео.html
In the song there is a lyric "ten minutes of limp gymnastics" it gets me every time. In another song I think it might be dice "candy or whip what do you like" or "what do you want" I forget. I've been so amazed with the music I have not really noticed the lyrics until lately. The bass player have come to be known as The Barefoot Assassin. Interlude, Extended Intro, etc Compilation - Part1 and 2 really show their talent. There are a lot of interludes. That can be boring but the other parts make it worth look at.
You have to do all 8 BAND-MAID documentaries by Ohrenje. As well as the videos for BAND-MAIKO and Cluppo. Kanami is not the backing Vocalist, that's Miku. Kanami is Lead Guitar. You should have the Lyrics on for 'Hate?" they're really funny!
They came to a town near me and I saw them with about 900 other Maidiacs! It was wonderful!!! While I hope there venues keep getting larger on their international tours, it's great to see them perform up close.
Oh ! A french maidiac !! (Bienvenue au club !). If you want to listen to : * a ballad : Daydreaming (MV) * another straightforward song : Dice (MV) * something more intense : Warning! (MV) * something more progressive : Blooming (MV) * a Miku song : Sayonakidori * an instrumental : From now on (MV)
If you like rock, choosing Japan, the capital of modern rock, is the smartest choice. Above all, it can be said that your choice to enter this world from BAND-MAID is the best.
Welcome back to the world of Band Maid 🌍 There’s a good chance they will tour Europe next time around, so be ready! With a dedicated schedule of song reactions, you’ll be prepared for your first okiyuji (serving). The audience is very much a part of every Band Maid performance. There will be a flood of recommendations for you. I could probably guess almost all of them (Freedom, Warning, DICE, From Now On, Thrill, Daydreaming…etc) Here is my unexpected choice for you: “CLANG,” live, of course. I wager that I will be the only Maidiac with this song choice 😊 The “Instrumental Maid Channel” is as good a resource for material as the Official Band Maid channel. I believe a high quality version is there for you ❤
Leo , Thanks for continuing down the BAND-MAID Pigeon hole , just to let you know when you talk during the video , your mic takes the music volume down , so to us viewers the music volume is fading in n out .
@@LEO_IS_VIBINGG You want mixed Japanese and French? You should give a listen to Sheena Ringo, she's the artist that originally inspired Miku to create Band Maid. A lot of her songs have a very French Café-Jazz feel to them, several have French lyrics, and Sheena is the epitome of chic.
❤😮 Triple Band MAIDsssssSss😱I see you r called Leo Is Vibing. Welcome Home Our ‘ONE AND ONLY’ beautiful Princess LEO from 🇫🇷🥹🥰. Monthly Maid is Awesome for 2024🤩 and August about MAIDS( did check out your Katy Perry- you gonna do similar to that)… WOWWW😋🤤. THANK YOU 🙏. BLAME it to someone called Ohrenje😏(A Great France)🤭 when you said no one told you. Awww when I said Great Person from 🇫🇷, of course I didn’t mean Macron or The Eiffel Tower😏( u’ll find out soon). Hope you ENJOY and WONDERFUL MAIDS’ JOURNEY. Thanks & see you again Beautiful 🇫🇷 Princess. 👋
The biggest difference between studio version and live version is the sound. Live has the raw sound, you can hear the vocalist sound a lot cleaner on studio version, which I don't like. Live vocal may not be as perfect, but "rock", showing Saiki's wild side as well as soft side depending on type of the song. They play all types of rock, fused with elements of multiple genres. They play 22-23 songs on average and keep you engaged throughout the show. Time pass by so quickly when you're at their live, and they always leave you wanting for more.
Hello Band-Maid fans 🩷 thank you for your support and recs, I’m only 3 songs deep in Band-Maid and already enjoying the journey so much!
I’m writing my deep dive on their career, if you’d be willing to answer a few questions of mine, you can follow me on Instagram and DM me, I think insights from fandoms are always the best when diving into an artist’s career.
ALSO !!! On this channel I really want to push discovering new music and expanding the genres you listen to, so if you discovered me thanks to Band-Maid, I encourage you to maybe check another one of my videos on an artist or topic you’re less familiar with!!
Thank you for watching my video. 🤟
Band-Maid deep dive, woooot!!!! You're in for a wild ride!
The other huge all female band in Japan is Lovebites who also are amazing formed by bassist/Founder Miho and Drummer co-founder Haruna Miho whose idol is Steve Harris of Iron Maiden and Haruna who loves Helloween had a vision of a band honoring those MWOBHM bands of the 80's and beyond recruited 2 amazing women on guitars Midori who is a huge fan of people like Nuno Bettencourt and Yngwie Malmsteen who also is a Bodybuilder taking 2nd place recently at the competition. Then Miyako who also plays piano being classically Trained with idols ranging from Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple and Gary Moore to Chopin, Rachmaninov and Dvorak. In 2018 They won Metal Hammer Golden God award for best new band in London and also was the 1st Japanese band to play at Wacken. In 2021 Miho for personal reason left the band and Lovebites went on a yearlong hiatus where Asami and Miyako both became mothers and honed their musical skills miyako and Midori practiced a ton together to get even tighter and Asami worked on her vocals to get better at her pronunctiation of english. when they returned they held auditions in summer of 2022 for both male and female bassists worldwide and found Fami who had a following already at the young age of 20 of 650,000 followers of her on RUclips I decided to share with you 3 songs with you 2 MV's and a Live since like Band Maid they are best live
Lovebites Shadowmaker MV ruclips.net/video/Brmoln5Gxus/видео.html (Miho on Bass)
Lovebites Hammer of Wrath ruclips.net/video/pHrWRT0Jeac/видео.html ( Fami on Bass Asami tells crowd with a yell "We Are Back!!!")
Lovebites Unchained MV ruclips.net/video/vbbMpq2zghQ/видео.html (Brand New Song released ahead of an EP Lovebites II to be dropped later this month)
Also this Band Maid song is my Favorite it has an unworldly duel between bassist Misa and Guitarist Kanami so legendary Band Maid Hate? also Lovebites may have a deeper Maiden influence then Band Maid does also expect the Wolf Pack when reacting to Lovebites ]:P Both Lovebites and Band Maiden are amazing live
Other Female bands and female led bands include:
Japan Bridear,Aldious,Mary's Blood,Fates Gear Hagane, Hanabi, and East of Eden Female led bands Unlucky Morpheus,Asterism, and Babymetal
Korea Rolling Quarts
Mexico The Warning
Usa Liliac just a few mostly Japan they and Korea are amazing for groups
oh BTW Lovebites will be in the U.S in September starting with Sold Out Prog Power Festival in Atlanta then Dallas/Los Angeles/ and San Francisco Dallas and Los Angeles had to upgrade the Venues due to ticket sales, ]:) am hoping they add more
Band Maid isnt just a band, theyre a sisterhood and it really shows. They adore each other and it shows.
Yes!! They seem to genuinely enjoy playing together it's great to see
You haven’t seen anything yet … you still have to find their ballads, their acoustic sets, their instrumentals, their cover band of themselves, their April Fools day jokes/special presents to their fans … then you move on to discover the band’s back story,their individual back stories,their special personas, how they feel about each other and their fans. The love of their fans for everything about the band, and the love between fans, and the total lack of any barriers (age, gender, race, nationality, etc.)
I’m 67, was lucky enough to have discovered them on the first day of their first RUclips release (Thrill), grew up listening to all the greats of rock & metal … these girls are really something special … and the only thing that approaches the joy of listening to a band-maid song is watching a new fan discover the wonder that is Band-Mail.
Thanks for discovering the Maids & their Maidiacs … we won’t let you down!
Your comment is so wholesome, it's crazy you're one of the OG fans!
Don't worry about being "late" to Band-Maid, you're here and that's all that matters. Doesn't matter if you've been here the last 11 years or the last 11 minutes you're just as welcome into the fandom. Also, Band-Maid is an underground act and stumbling across them is how everyone discovers them. Just keep spreading the good word.
The Band-Maid fandom has the best spirit, y'all are amazing, I'm glad to be part of it now :)
Being "late" just means one has more to catch up on 👍😎😊
True, but I will ask the newcomers to pray for those of us that salted the many evil ones that insulted the living h*ll out of Band-Maid. We attempt to live under the heavy curses of the racist misogynist rock/ metal haters. We are heavily scarred by the combat sorcerers that were attacking Band-Maid and other Japanese Women Bands. Not a joke, not hyperbole, they hate our music and we fought them with our souls. Newcomers we love you but believe that just a few years ago there was evil opposition to our Angelic Maids.
What separates Band-Maid from all other bands, imo: strength of songwriting, proliferous creativity; quality and depth of musicianship; unique Individual style & captivating performance; palpable band synergy; expansive soundscape; and consistency of excellence. All of that requires years of long hours of hard work, laser focus, compatibility, and a shipload of talent. Piece of cake! 🍰🎀Thx, Leo!
Yes, seeing them perform I can't even imagine the hours of hard work that have been put in, in only 11 years. Incredible
Another Shoutout to Papinoob for introducing the Maids to this lovely princess! Carrier pigeons spreading the word! 🍺😁🕊️
Yes! Brought me my best music discovery of 2024
Po! :D
BAND-MAID IS THE BEST DAMNED ROCK BAND IN THE WORLD (male or female)!!!!! The more you react to the Maids, the larger your RUclips channel will grow. Now, we are probably going to drive crazy with requests and comments (all good). Leo keep it up and you'll grow into becoming a Maidiac.
Haha I really appreciate the support
@@LEO_IS_VIBINGGBand-Maid T's are really cool 👍
OMG what a fantastic Triple header. BAND-MAID encapsulate everything that is
good about music & everything they do is done with a smile & love for their fans. One of them is me. 🙋♂️
Leo is the most charming reactor to talk about Band-Maid. It’s normal, she’s French.😉
@@Kissthetoad321 Exactly. When Leo said she was French & lived in France i was shocked. I thought for sure she was from the rainforests of Patagonia.😏
@@Kissthetoad321 I was mesmerized by her beautiful big brown eyes, flawless skin, and cute accent. 😍 Leo is the French Kanami!
@@GaryHolloway-810 I'm shocked that she speaks English so fluently.😯
@@Kissthetoad321 Yes & she also has a french accent lilt that is so Kawaii :)
It's hard to believe there is this much talent and energy in music today much less in one band of young ladies. Absolutely love them, just ordered their new DVD.
Je regret that you only now found out about them - but that's how we all felt the first time we heard them. It's like "why are they not known worldwide?!" The good news is, they're getting there! Thanks for helping out with that.
Your excitement is contagious! Really glad you found our Maids. Looking forward to watching your journey into the best hard rock band there is! 🙂 Enjoy!
Dave! 🍺😁🤘🏻

Seen them twice live, they are definitely the real deal. Their enthusiasm and joy on stage, their musicianship and love of their fans shines through. Definitely do not miss them if they are anywhere near you.
Greatest rockband in this Universe ever 🔥🤘❤️ Greets from Finland 🇫🇮
Welcome back to Band-Maid Princess Leo (The Maids call their fans Masters and Princesses). A great trio of songs to do reactions. What you will find, is Band-Maid does extended/added intros or solos in their Okyu-ji's (what they call their live concerts, which translates to "Servings"). The Maids have mentioned these as being a little extra treat for Masters and Princesses making the effort to see and support them live. The breakdowns/solos in the live "Domination" and "Hate?", they only a fraction of what did in these videos. So even if you don't do a reaction to "Domination" and "Hate?" studio versions, you may want to listen to them just to hear the differences and if they added or changed anything.
Deep dive Band-Maid? The Ohrenje channel has a 7 part documentary series. It seems like a lot, but as the saying goes, "Time flies when you're having fun". The information provided is interesting and fun. And the production is fantastic. Some reactors have done the documentaries as reactions. The order is Saiki --> Kanami --> Akane --> MISA --> Miku (3 parts). There is an old and new updated version of Saiki and Kanami. If you ask me both versions are great. So if you react to new version , I would suggest you watch the old on your own just to see what was added. There's also a show called "Music Gold Rush" episodes 73 and 74 which features Band-Maid. It's in Japanese, but there are subtitles. It's very informative and fun. It also give some insights into their personalities/personas. Also worth the watch even if you don't do a reaction.
PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘
Wonderful recommendation, to react to the Ohrenje's documentaries. I fully support this proposal.
Thank you for the tips!!!
Band Maid is amazing! 🍺😁🤘🏻
They are !!! 🤟
JMATAB speaks the truth.😁🍺
"Hate" has the newest iteration of their outfits. From their biggest show in Yokohama from last November.
Bonjour Princess! Time you met the ladies, here's a little info on these wonderful people. They are unique characters indeed!
Miku Kobato "Little Pigeon" - band founder - rhythm guitar and second vocals. Main lyricist. Claims to be an 810 year old pigeon and makes pigeon noises when she speaks. Po! Very good at poker, really into horses and horse racing. Very clumsy, may fall into ditches. Has the energy of an average nuclear power station mixed with weapons grade cuteness. A comedian onstage - literally! She is the heart and soul of the band.
Saiki Atsumi "The Ice Queen" - Lead vocalist and frontwoman. The youngest member at 30. Into train spotting and collecting trainers (sports shoes). Very girly, into doing her nails and is a fashion icon. Really into Baseball and the Hanshin Tigers. Don't mess with her you will lose. But she has a heart of gold and a killer dry sense of humour. Recently started writing lyrics. Has final say on songs.
Kanami Tono - "Kanamincho" but usually just "Mincho" for short. Lead guitar and an absolute genius songwriter. Total riff machine. Has two personas. Normally a tiny cute shy very polite lady who seems very innocent (the band have to explain dirty jokes to her). Until she puts on her guitar. As the band say: "then she gets quite violent" - she turns into the shredding rock star she is. Takes guitar off, back to the little girl. Likes cakes, coffee and is totally infatuated by Saiki. She adores Saiki very much, to everyone's amusement.
Akane Hirose - "The Gorilla" on Drums. Seems to be the sane member of the band, but is actually the band clown. Has an enormous appetite, seen eating in a lot of MV's. Eats a lot of bananas including on stage, hence the nickname. But she is terrible at actual cooking. Usually has a big grin on her face while drumming manically, Akane was also a DJ (under the name DJ Achi) and likes dancing and goofing with MISA. She also plays trombone!
MISA (all caps, no last name) "The Barefoot Assassin" on bass. An absolute bass prodigy, MISA is very shy onstage (and a total clown offstage with Akane). Nickname comes from the fact she plays barefoot and looks like an assassin. Because of shyness often drinks onstage, you can often spot a bottle of Jim Beam on her amp. She drinks it neat. Lately drinking more beer than whiskey though, good girl. Doesn't say much, but when she does it's usually totally hilarious! At a lot of concerts you will hear the fans chanting MISA! MISA! MISA! which has become a slogan.
I've seen them live in a smaller venue and they sound great. The energy they gave out during their concert was off the charts. This pigeon hole you're in, called Band Maid is one you'll never get out of. And that's a good thing. Hopefully you'll get to watch them live. Enjoy your journey.😊
Thanks for the reactions!
And looking forward to more Band-Maid.
Enjoy this pigeon hole of Band-Maid.
🤘🕊️🦍🥷👸🏻👀PO!
You are French, Léo! Merde, me too. 😃 I hope we can get to know each other (en tout bien tout honneur) next year in Paris during the Maids world tour. Congratulations on your channel and your reactions.👍
Yes let's manifest them coming to Paris! If we go to the same show you can definitely hit me up on Insta!
@@LEO_IS_VIBINGG I'm not very active on social media but I'll do my best. You are right, the French community of Maidiac must mobilize to give a triumphant welcome to the Maids. See you soon Leo.
Live or studio Band-Maid rocks! I've seen them four times live, and they are amazing in person! These ladies reinvigorated my interest in new music! New look and sound is good! No bad songs from these ladies!
So great to see someone else taken over by the joy that is Band-Maid
Discovered this band about 8 years ago! Wonderful day! ❤
I wouldn't call them the best rock band in the world, but definitely one of the best hard rock bands that ive ever heard. Incredibly entertaining live shows too.
🔥BAND-MAID🔥
リアクションありがとうございます🕊日本からご挨拶😊
For a different side of Band Maid that is more like ballads, try the songs About Us, Bestie, Endless Story, or Sayonakidori acoustic version
It's perfectly fine to just be in awe of 5 incredibly talented women owning the stage and producing some great sound.
Great reactions, Leo! Band-Maid are a superb live band. After 4.5 years of being a Maidiac, I'll finally be seeing them live at the end of November at Zepp Haneda!! 🤘🤘💕💕
Try Protect You. It is a new song created for a new anime show. The show is based off the original anime known as Goldorak in France.
Thank you for your reaction, I'm happy from Japan！
I recommend to you Music video of 【Don’t you tell ME】by BAND-MAID.
I think it suits you.
Bon voyage！💐
The best live rock band on the planet...maybe ever.
La belle France has not yet been "dominated" by Band-Maid, but it is only a matter of time. These women have it all - technical wizardry (but without endless self-indulgent soloing), captivating stage presence, pounding rhythms and beautiful melodies, sharp, witty and perceptive lyrics and above all an unstoppable energy and charm (and beauty too, yes) that only leaves you wanting more and more. Plus they are all very grounded, hard-working and humble. And they treat their fans "royally", as masters and princesses to be served and entertained. What is not to like about Band-Maid? Welcome to the best musical addiction ever!
I always enjoy seeing people react to Band-Maid. No one expects what Band-Maid does consistently: deliver beyond expectations every time.
These ladies can practically play "Choose Me" while sleepwalking. At Yokohama Arena they all took off from the stage and walked around the arena, never missing a note, running back to the stage at the last moment. They are such experienced and practiced musicians that nothing fazes them.
About the "Exactly like the recording" performance. They do play to a click track and a backing track. But they produce and modify their click and backing tracks for their live performances. At this stage of their career they self produce in the recording studio. Kanami is a classical trained pianist and accomplished MIDI programmer and it shows in their performances.
Yes, they are an amazing live concert. Yes they DO interact with the audience. A lot. Do see them live. You will not be disappointed.
The more I know, the more I'm impressed... DAMN
Great to have you back with *Band Maid!*
Looking forward to more.
As far as the songs themselves loved them 🎀🎀
Band Maid has quite a varied catalog, excited to see you go through it 😃
🤘❤🔥🤘
They are" The Perfect Beast"
The only other band I’ve heard whose live concerts sounded just like their studio recordings is a band called Rush. I’ve seen Romes Colosseum, Arizona’s Grand Canton, and Band-Maid live in Detroit and all three of these were life altering experiences.
Best Hard Rock band of the moment!!
Please turn up the video volume. Best rock band on the planet.
Yes!!!
Thanks Leo, you picked three great and accessible songs, BM can get chaotic, fast and hard but there are many mid tempo gems as well, welcome home princess👑
I just love being called princess 😂🩷 this is such a great name for the fans
I think "Iron Band-Maiden" would be a great April 1st 2025 spoof by the Maid ladies.
Why April 4th? Is that when they tour?
@@LEO_IS_VIBINGG I meant April 1st, when practical jokes get played.
The moment you thought was cute in Domination, they were making faces at the drummer, Akane, to make her mess up (she didn't) because she did something that made the singer, Saiki, laugh while she was singing in the song played before this. It's an example of them having fun in the concerts.
Every second song (on average) is an exercise in "Shock & Awe".
You beat the average here, with three in a row. Well done.
Deep Dive = Ohrenje channel's documentaries! Professionally done!
YES he's amazing, he offered to help me a little for my own Band-Maid videos ❤
Want to see them having real fun and smiling all the time? Then watch "Freedom" live. It's one of their greatest live performances concerning joy of playing!
I don't know of any other band where the fans' playlists differ so much. So, this is just a quite random selection of songs: For some very special live videos try Freedom, Play, Real existence and Endless Story. With Moratorium (Live at Zepp), Rinne (MV) and Dice you can hear more hard rock while more catchy songs are Choose me (MV), Bestie (MV) and Alone (MV). And if you want to hear some ballads then maybe About Us (MV) and Daydreaming (MV) are good picks. But don't miss some of their instrumentals like From now on (MV) and Onset (Live). And finally a very special live performance is Manners/Blackhole (Official Online Live)🍌 And there is more: For example the songs with Miku in lead, their christmas acoustic concert and the 'cover band' Band-Maiko ;-)
But if you want to start at the beginning of their career (2013-2017) then go with Thrill (MV, their first video), Real Existence (second video), Alone (MV, first own composition), Freedom(best LIVE performance), Choose Me, Play (LIVE!), ...
Some other band recommendations? Then try "The Sixsters" from Ukraine (Pick any song) and "Gacharic Spin" from Japan (song: "Mindset").
Recommend some of their ballads: Daydreaming, About Us, Memorable, Endless Story
Wait until you listen to From Now On.
lemme write that down ✍
Thank you very much for your reaction video! So much enjoyed you are enchanted by BAND-MAID's music. May the day come when you attend their concert and make music together! It will be truly an exceptional experience.
Been fortunate enough to see this amazing band 3 times. By far the best 3 concerts I've been to! ♥
DOMINATION live was the 22nd song of their 23 song set and begins with a segue that is the dying away of the last note of the previous song PLAY. At 12:41 - MISA, the bassist, Kanami the lead guitarist and composer, and Miku the rhythm guitarist, main lyricist and founder of the band, are playing Hengao - "strange faces" - with Akane the drummer, which is making funny faces to try and put someone off. Akane, of course, laughs along while not missing a beat. It shows the ladies' confidence in each others' abilities that they can fool around like this while all of them slam out note-perfect Rock at full tilt. At 13:19 - MISA the bassist is holding her plectrum in her curled finger so she can produce it and switch from slapping to picking in half a nanosecond! At 14:03 - Akane the drummer is hitting two separate beats on her double kick pedals while simultaneously continuing the song melody on her snare, toms and cymbal. At 15:09 - a brief glimpse of Kanami on lead guitar laying down one sweet rolling chord pattern - pure class. THE best live Rock band on Earth.
Speaking of suggestions, the Maids have done a lot of MVs. Bestie is one of the latter and surprised many fans for several reasons. A very good song though.
Wonderful reaction and comments to three terrific Band-Maid songs. You've heard a few now from the hard rockin' end of the spectrum, but Band-Maid does it all. If you like a good ballad, give the Daydreaming MV a try. If you want to see what they can do acoustically, maybe try Catharsis or Sayonakidori. If you want one of the most gorgeous songs (and MVs) they've ever done, try Gion-Cho. If you want an experience of going from a funky blues to a thrashy prog, try the two-for-one special, Manners & Black Hole. Look forward to next time!
Considering how much you like their costumes, trust me, you'll want to put "Secret Maiko Lips" high on your list of videos to watch.
For more of the band's camaraderie, the live version of "Don't you tell ME" is great.
And for phenomenal Saiki performances, try the combination video of "Manners/BLACK HOLE" and especially the live version of "Endless Story."
MISA is one of my all time favorite bassists. So creative and talented. All of them really.
As someone who has wandered the musical desert 🏜️ for decades, unable to find any satisfaction in any new music, at least in my local area in Washington State just north of Portland Oregon where our radio stations are located, they are the oasis 🏝️ that I had been thirsting for far too long, so long that in August 2023 my opportunity to see them in person was realized, and this is the first concert I've attended in over 25 years, that how powerful their influence upon me is, I got in line at 5am that day in order to ensure a good place for the show, having some physical limitations by the time the concert was ready to happen my level of pain was debilitating, having said this it was the best concert I've ever attended in my life, they are a must see and I will suffer any amount of pain to see them again and again, I'm confident that you will have your chance in 2025 to see them also, found your channel today and subscribed, good luck in you future both with your channel and seeing Band Maid live.
These ladies already won my heart a few years ago, but that doesn't matter, the main thing is that you are here today, know and like them and therefore you are one of us! 😉And with that, greetings from the 'neighborhood' in Germany and welcome to the pigeon-hole of this amazing band. 🙋🏻♂✌🏻
Recommendations are difficult at this point, as the statement that none of their 130+ songs are bad is indeed true (I didn't believe it at first either). But off the top of my head I would name the following ones:
※ Freedom (Official Live) --- Pure fun and many years something like their unofficial anthem
※ Wonderland (Official Live) --- A little bit different style, but no less interesting and a showcase for vocalist Saiki's voice
※ Don't you tell ME (Official Live, from 5 months ago) --- Since you seem to like bassist MISA and guitarist Kanami a lot. :)
※ Endless Story (Official Live, also from 5 months ago) --- After 3 hours and 40 minutes, the last song of their 10th anniversary concert last year. Turn on the subtitles and you'll know by the end why we love these ladies so much.
Again, Greetings and welcome. 😇✨

Thanks 👍

I'm glad you have understood how much fun they are live, and want to see them. I, and a lot of other Madiacs here, can confirm that they are ridiculous amounts of fun to see live. Rock on Leo!
Such a cute reactor reacting to cute Maids!!!
Leo is vibing you.😂
Can't be better than an absolutely gorgeous girl totally fan-girling over one of my favourite bands!
A near complete band when it comes to composition, musicality and stage-presence!
Next song? "Blooming" is a favourite of mine. There are some live-recordings of it.
But it's close to one of their most complex songs. Especially the vocals are ridiculously hard!
Okay, you have two options. First, wait for them to come close to your hometown during their world tour. Second, pack your bags, grab your passport, and go see their concert in Japan. You only live once-who knows what tomorrow will bring? Go where you want, see what you want, and enjoy life while you can.✨🥰🤘
0:17 This is the face I made the first time I heard Band-Maid. It's the face I make everytime I listen to Band-Maid. 😎
What’s better than a Band-Maid video and reaction? A Double-feature video and reaction. But a TRIPLE feature? Thank you Leo for a great reaction. Keep up the great work, you have discovered the greatest Rock band of all time! I LOVE BAND MAID ❤❤

sure you like it and appreciate it more than Band Maid
Leo, Yes, the Maids are incredible musicians -and they love to rehearse - so their live performances are second to none with precision, and accuracy to the studio sound - AND they still manage to have an absolute blast 💥 “serving” the audience!! Few bands have ever reached the performance level of the Maids.
Continue your journey down the “Pigeon Hole” and you’ll see!!
You’ll be overwhelmed with song reaction requests because in 11 years the Maids have recorded 120+ songs and literally there isn’t a bad one in the bunch!
Yes, the band has grow, improved their skills, and evolved over the 11 years. So there are Maidiacs who have an era of the Maids and will request songs primarily from that period.
One suggestion is to start at the beginning and go forward. My alternative would be to start with their most recent songs and go backwards through their remarkable discography. Or just do random songs. Either is fine and you’ll have a blast either way ! 🎉
Most recent songs:
- “Protect You” - OMV - yes, it’s an Anime theme song. Newest song.
- “Unleash!!!!!” - OLV - newer song another from 10th
- “Don’t You Tell ME” - old song from 10th show
- “Shambles” - OMV - Heavy! - another Anime theme song.
-“Influencer” - OMV - TALENT on display!!
Or

Oui, les Maids ont fait une tournée en Europe et joué à Paris, tout cela avant la pandémie. Malheureusement, elles ne sont pas revenues depuis, malgré plusieurs tournées aux États-Unis. Elles ont décidé de rester au Japon toute l'année 2024, mais devraient faire une tournée à l'étranger en 2025. Je sais que tous les Maidiacs européens ont hâte de les accueillir en Europe bientôt !
Yes, the Maids have toured Europe and played in Paris; all before the pandemic. Unfortunately, they haven’t returned since, despite playing in the United States multiple tours. They’ve decided to stay in Japan all of 2024, but should tour overseas in 2025. i know all European Maidiacs are desparate to have them in Europe soon!!
Take care 🤘🏼🔥🎸🎤🎼🥁🌎😎✌🏼
「最高の演奏はいつも最新のライブ演奏の中にある」
「BAND-MAIDの法則」のひとつと言われているものです。
彼女達は難度の高い演奏をいとも容易くやってのけます。それはまるでアクロバットをしながら自らその危険を楽しんでいる達人のお遊びのようなものかもしれません。
そして自分達の音楽を磨き上げより素晴らしいものにする事を楽しんでいます。
スタジオ録音は彼女達の音楽の最初の見本にしか過ぎず、ライブを重ねながら改訂を続けている事を公言しています。
そして圧倒的な多様性を彼女達はもっています。
140曲もの曲はあらゆる音楽の要素をもっており、強烈なエレキギターの音からアコーステック版に至るまで、退屈とか飽きるという言葉と無縁の世界です。
クラッシックから現代音楽に至るまでのあらゆる音楽の要素を取込み自分達のスタイルで進化さていると言えます。
激しく、速く、複雑で熱い曲がアコーステック版になり、優雅で優しく暖かい曲に変化する様は魔術か魔法のようです。
彼女達の演奏力の高さはインストゥルメンタル曲で良く分かります。
これらは是非聞いて欲しいものです。
「onset」、「from now on」、「without holding back」は圧倒的です。
以下は私の独断で選んだものです。
万人向けと言えるもの、
「Play」、「Thrill」、「FREEDOM」、「Manners」、「RINNE」
前衛的なもの
「Different」、「influencer」、「BLACK HOLE」
抒情的なもの
「anemone」、「about Us」
彼女達の音楽の多様性は驚くばかりです。そしてその質はとても高いです。140もの曲の中からきっと好みの曲がみつかります。そして好みでない曲も何度か聞いているうちにその良さが分かるようになります。
彼女たちの曲に「駄作」はありません。
'The best performances are always among the latest live performances.'
It's what's known as one of Band-Maid's Laws.
The girls can pull off difficult performances with ease. It can be like the play of a master acrobat who enjoys the danger of his own acrobatics.
They enjoy refining their music and making it better.
They have stated that studio recordings are only a first sample of their music and that they continue to revise it through live performances.
And the diversity is overwhelming.
The 140 songs have elements of all kinds of music, ranging from intense electric guitar sounds to acoustic versions, and are not associated with the words 'boredom' or 'tiredness'.
The band has taken elements of all kinds of music, from classical to contemporary, and evolved them in their own style.
The way in which intense, fast, complex and hot songs are transformed into acoustic versions, graceful, gentle and warm, is like magic or spellbinding.
The girls' performance skills are clearly evident in their instrumental songs.
These are definitely worth a listen.
'onset', 'from now on' and 'without holding back' are overwhelming.
The following are my own selections.
The ones that I would say are for everyone,
'Play', 'Thrill', 'FREEDOM', 'Manners', 'RINNE'.
Avant-garde.
Different, influencer, BLACK HOLE.
Lyrical.
'anemone', 'about Us'.
The diversity of their music is astonishing. With 140 songs to choose from, you're sure to find something you like. And even if you don't like a song, you'll appreciate it after you've listened to it a few times.
There is no such thing as a 'bad' song.

かわいらしいリアクションをありがとう😉
Lovely reaction--great idea to do three songs. I thought your camera did very well recording your video and sound, but the volume for the music was a bit low.
Leur dernier (et unique) passage en France c'était en 2017, et malheureusement rien n'est encore prévu pour qu'elle reviennent en Europe 😢 Mais on garde espoir !
Je profite de ce petit commentaire pour te rediriger vers un autre français tellement fan de BM, qu'il a créé une chaine YT et un discord dédiés à BM, le seul et l'unique Orenje !
Sa chaine YT propose des docus sur chacune des membres et je te recommande chaudement d'aller y faire un tour.
Son discord accueille avec grand plaisir les reactors YT alors Fonce !!!!
P.S : Je vais quand même te recommander quelque chose parce qu'il y a tellement de bonnes ziks chez BM ^^ donc ma reco ce serait : Puzzle (MV) puis Puzzle (Live) et tu finis par Puzzle (Accoustic Live) et tu te régales :)
Cya !
Band＝made has a wide range of musical styles even among Japanese girl hard rock bands, so please listen to a lot of their songs!
There are not many live videos, so
Please watch a lot of PVs.
Better live, better live, better live, every single time, every single song, every single Japanese band. And, should you care to pursue the idea of, "Why didn't anybody tell me about them," let me introduce you to my favorite Japanese bands, all of which deserve the comment, "Why didn't anybody tell me about them?"
One Ok Rock: Take Me to the Top: ruclips.net/video/0dct9gJo6U4/видео.html
Doll$Boxx: Fragrance: ruclips.net/video/3N7z4bR2V_4/видео.html
Wagaki Band: Letter with no Name: ruclips.net/video/-RNp2EoNB1Y/видео.html
Hanabie: In Taiwan: ruclips.net/video/NORZHwHFLD0/видео.html
Band Maid's best melody: Daydreaming: ruclips.net/video/g6S05uwq8-M/видео.html
In the song there is a lyric "ten minutes of limp gymnastics" it gets me every time. In another song I think it might be dice "candy or whip what do you like" or "what do you want" I forget. I've been so amazed with the music I have not really noticed the lyrics until lately. The bass player have come to be known as The Barefoot Assassin.
Interlude, Extended Intro, etc Compilation - Part1 and 2 really show their talent. There are a lot of interludes. That can be boring but the other parts make it worth look at.
You have to do all 8 BAND-MAID documentaries by Ohrenje. As well as the videos for BAND-MAIKO and Cluppo. Kanami is not the backing Vocalist, that's Miku. Kanami is Lead Guitar. You should have the Lyrics on for 'Hate?" they're really funny!
Kanami also provides backing vocals at times.
And Ohrenje is also a French Maidiac 😍
They came to a town near me and I saw them with about 900 other Maidiacs! It was wonderful!!!
While I hope there venues keep getting larger on their international tours, it's great to see them perform up close.
Oh ! A french maidiac !! (Bienvenue au club !).
If you want to listen to :
* a ballad : Daydreaming (MV)
* another straightforward song : Dice (MV)
* something more intense : Warning! (MV)
* something more progressive : Blooming (MV)
* a Miku song : Sayonakidori
* an instrumental : From now on (MV)
EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD LOVRS .SAIKI .SO BEAUTIFUL❤
Band-Maid - Lovebites - The Warning, react to these bands and the rock and metal fans will come, guaranteed, excellent reaction, rock on🤘
If you like rock, choosing Japan, the capital of modern rock, is the smartest choice. Above all, it can be said that your choice to enter this world from BAND-MAID is the best.
Welcome back to the world of Band Maid 🌍
There’s a good chance they will tour Europe next time around, so be ready! With a dedicated schedule of song reactions, you’ll be prepared for your first okiyuji (serving). The audience is very much a part of every Band Maid performance.
There will be a flood of recommendations for you. I could probably guess almost all of them (Freedom, Warning, DICE, From Now On, Thrill, Daydreaming…etc)
Here is my unexpected choice for you: “CLANG,” live, of course. I wager that I will be the only Maidiac with this song choice 😊
The “Instrumental Maid Channel” is as good a resource for material as the Official Band Maid channel. I believe a high quality version is there for you ❤
NICE❗️reaction 👍
from Japanese fan.🇯🇵 po!🐦
Still gets me when Saiki screams "Don't give a shit no more!" lol
Leo , Thanks for continuing down the BAND-MAID Pigeon hole , just to let you know when you talk during the video , your mic takes the music volume down , so to us viewers the music volume is fading in n out .
I've heard that their new album has two songs with mixed Japanese and French lyrics ❤
STOP IT that would be so amazing and beautiful!
@@LEO_IS_VIBINGG You want mixed Japanese and French? You should give a listen to Sheena Ringo, she's the artist that originally inspired Miku to create Band Maid. A lot of her songs have a very French Café-Jazz feel to them, several have French lyrics, and Sheena is the epitome of chic.
05:14 ahh the fangirl squeak 😊 happens to me all the time 😆💜
😂😂😂 I don't keep these things in my
❤😮 Triple Band MAIDsssssSss😱I see you r called Leo Is Vibing. Welcome Home Our ‘ONE AND ONLY’ beautiful Princess LEO from 🇫🇷🥹🥰. Monthly Maid is Awesome for 2024🤩 and August about MAIDS( did check out your Katy Perry- you gonna do similar to that)… WOWWW😋🤤. THANK YOU 🙏. BLAME it to someone called Ohrenje😏(A Great France)🤭 when you said no one told you. Awww when I said Great Person from 🇫🇷, of course I didn’t mean Macron or The Eiffel Tower😏( u’ll find out soon). Hope you ENJOY and WONDERFUL MAIDS’ JOURNEY. Thanks & see you again Beautiful 🇫🇷 Princess. 👋
Thank you! I'm hesitating between doing a video like Katy, or several video, there's so much to cover here lol. I'm on the discord server now !
Sssoooo now you need DAYDREAMING MV ONLY PLEASE if you like minchozilla's solos
I would see them if the go to Paris also. (And I live near Chicago)
@@Kevin6059 And if B-M play England instead you could stop off & pick up Leo on the way.😏
@@GaryHolloway-810 I'm on it. I may have to just be a groupie for the whole tour
THEIR BEST SONG I S HATE❤❤❤❤❤
4:14 glitch in the maidtrix
The biggest difference between studio version and live version is the sound. Live has the raw sound, you can hear the vocalist sound a lot cleaner on studio version, which I don't like. Live vocal may not be as perfect, but "rock", showing Saiki's wild side as well as soft side depending on type of the song.
They play all types of rock, fused with elements of multiple genres. They play 22-23 songs on average and keep you engaged throughout the show. Time pass by so quickly when you're at their live, and they always leave you wanting for more.
🤘🤘
🤘More Band-Maid🤘
More volume
More hooks in BandMaid than a Miami Charter Boat..for more top shelf metal,try"Symphony X"
Thank you 🫶🫶🫶
I like your reactions but you have the song volume down so low that I can't hear what you're reacting to.
I could hear both perfectly fine
