Happy Saturday, everyone!! Hope you are enjoying my first ever JAPANESE METAL SATURDAY!! If you didn't catch my earlier post, check it out for today's full lineup of five amazingly talented Japanese metal bands. Thanks for watching!! ruclips.net/channel/UC9OjF9x0EZ2-nnObCtZRzuwcommunity?lb=Ugkx90PSeMjAduXXb39eMAYCVuckKEiGJ1NP
MTH, Nemophila and Band-Maid is the ultimate journey to J-Rock ...
Misa the bassist was not a fan of the maid uniform. So she made a Chinese Maid Assassin outfit hers. She is a beast, quiet and shy but plays the hell out of that Black Cloud bass. Also famous for drinking whiskey and beers as well as playing barefoot.
Ok!!! She’s my favorite now! Haha. I love that!! A Chinese maid assassin!? That’s just friggin’ metal. Hell yeah. Misa is now my homegirl. Haha
🤘🏽😎🤘🏽
@@musikbyjh Misais very popular with the fan base. Crowds chant Misa, Misa, Misa at every show. She plays quite a busy bass line and is prominent in most songs.
@@musikbyjh Misa also truly loves good music, she grew up listening to it. It was her mom that introduced her to The Pixies and the Smashing Pumpkins when she was little. Now that's parenting done right.
Also Akane the Drummer's outfit is based more off a Butlers influence and designed to be more functional for drumming.
Lastly Saiki's the Lead Singer's Battle Armor Maid was designed using influences from Spanish Style Maid outfits.
@@Studio-Coast_Kid I think Pixies and Pumpkins came from Misa's own interests and love of grunge, her Mum was a Hendrix and classic rock fan which of course Misa played homage to with the sticker on her 4 string Fender Jazz Bass. I could be wrong of course.
@@edwardallen4051 If her mom was into Hendrix as well it only serves to make her Cooler in my book, lol. But the info comes from a Misa article in one of the score books. I don't remember offhand if it was the Brand New Maid or WD. I know to this day Paz LeChantin is one of her favorite Bassist's. I think not positive she took over as Kim Deal's replacement after she left and subsequently went to jail after starting the Breeder's. I kinda stopped following the Pixies in the late 90's.
The new official live of "Puzzle" has a lot of the qualities of this with also killer vocals.
Like this she takes a murderous riff right through the number, developing it brilliantly all the way through.
Agree!
@@falconsooner Puzzle is quite an old track but they've sexed it up over the years and done various versions, so the new live version is fantastic, it's obvious that they love doing it, even more than they love all the other stuff.
They have a unique sound and each song surprises me. Plus that are fantastic in their live shows.
MISA, the bass player, never was really down with the maid outfit. So a few years in they decided each member could wear what they were comfortable with. The lead singer changed her outfit a lot but you could still kinda see the maid influence. MISA just dropped the maid outfit completely. Still though, if any ask them why MISA isn't dressed like a maid Miku, rhythm guitar and spokesperson will insist that MISA is an assassin maid.
LOVE this, thank you for the info!!
Spokespigeon.
I'm a metal head myself and usually listen to extreme metal, but Band-Maid tickles the hard rock bone in me. You just need one song that speaks to you to get drawn in, and it looks like this song was it for you 😆.
I believe you would like the song "Moratorium". Has a couple of sweet metal moments.
"RIIIINNNNEEEE".😫
@@GaryHolloway-810 Rinne has that sweet metal double kicks in the intro, which I love 🤘
@@madsstavang Hey Mads how did you know i wasn't just clearing my throat? For the record i wasn't.😁
@@GaryHolloway-810 funny how throat clearing always sounds like a Band-Maid song title. CORALLIUUUUM!!
@@madsstavang Haha. Ooohh, you really needed to clear that one didn't you. Sounded like you were choking to death😆
Kanami, lead guitarist / composer, arranger writes instramentals to give the lead singer a break during the middle of shows and because she's playing the vocal line, she gets to show off a little !! 😏❤️🎙🎸🥁😎🤘
Can’t wait to see them on May 24!!!! Band-Maid best band in the world 🌎 😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
I will be there that evening. My 1st live Okyu-ji.
They could go toe to toe with the great fusion bands of the 70s and 80s. Best rock band to come along in 50 years.
Keeping rock alive. 👩🏻🤘🏼
THE best Rock band on Earth. Best served live.
When Band-Maid first started they all had the same costums ! Now they design their own "Battle Gear" its what they call costumes now ! MISA The Barefoot Assassin wears a Assassin Costume =) Another Great Instrumental is "ONSET" Official Live Thanks Jeremy =) ✌🤘
MISA MISAMISA...the Barefoot Assasin...my favorite Bass on earth...well with Haragushi-san of Nemophila..ja
I saw Band-Maid live earlier this week in Austin,Tx and they were awesome!! So many great songs by this band and these ladies are just incredible musicians, I don’t believe that they have a bad song in their catalog of over 140 songs. Today they are in Daytona, Fl opening for Slipknot and Robb Zombie at the Rockville show and I hope they are doing great, I wish I was there! I saw Nemophila in Dallas back in March and they were also incredible live. Great bands from Japan!!
Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 I witnessed this song performed live twice in Tokyo and dropped my jaw twice 😲. I believe so did many of American audience at 12 venues in the last October. Band-Maid, however, did not play it in the final concert of US Tour. In an interview Kanami explained the reason why B-M didn't play it in Chicago: "From Now On requires a lot of adrenaline to play, but I was a bit anemic that day. I would have passed out if we did it". [source : Japanese magazine "PMC vol.25" page 100] .... I don't blame you, Kanami 💛。Then B-M played "From Now On" as 21st in the total 26-song setlist at Tokyo Garden Theater on Jan.9 this year. If Kanami is in good shape, her adrenaline is inexhaustible 😍
MISA is called the "Barefoot Assassin" & she has the coolest nickname since God said "From Now On I'll dress all in black & call myself Gangsta God "....probably.😏
These girls absolutely rip. So much damn talent.
Great to hear your second reaction Jeremy!
You’ve already noticed how Band Maid compositions grow on you. Sometimes it takes a few listens to catch everything they’re doing.
The Maids do much more within their music than they could have. They often give away killer riffs in the same song that could’ve easily made another hit altogether!
They never take the easy route of cut and paste. Every verse is different, every instrument contributes more than what most bands do. Misa’s bass lines are like four minute solos! Kanami works within and around the chords Miku lays down, and Akane’s fills are always creative, always changing to drive the song.
Their music really respects the listener because they put so much effort into the details that you won’t notice until that third or fourth time.
Just notice how they always augment their second verses. That’s where I started.
Next song for your tastes? I’ll take a gamble and suggest:
“Real Existence” Live @ Zepp 2018
definitely do the live shows if you can find them but some songs just have the music videos. They don't have any bad songs so if you're enjoying them then you are in for a ride.
Kanami🥰took the vocals in her own hands in this one.
Band Maid doing Band Maid things... they can pretty much do anything .... and the US tour starts tomorrow in Houston... if they are in your area get tickets and go ... amazing live....
Misa's "Maid" costume is a take on the Chinese Housekeeper pajama . But it isn't a plain pajama outfit: it has a lot of lace, sheer fabric, sequins, and it is elegant in its details, but its 99.9% BLACK. It has been humorously noted that it really isn't a maid uniform and the joke is that she's a Ninja "Maid-Assassin'. Misa prefers to perform on bass barefoot and has been given the nickname of "The Barefoot Assassin". While lead guitar Kanami receives the most credit for Band-Maid compositions, Misa is next in line. Misa and Kanami learned piano as toddlers. Misa is a multi instrumentalist and played guitar before being invited to play bass for another band and switched to major in bass in college because of it.
I see you reacted to "Blooming" and you made that "Hold-on! There's a lot more going on here than I thought)" discovery. A typical Band-Maid song, catchy on first pass, may require several hearings to recognize all the lovely fills, change-ups, and embellishments these 5 musicians pack into each performance. This is a band that becomes more impressive each time you listen to them. and you don't know what you're going to hear every time you hit the 'PLAY' button because they love mixing up genre.
A restaurant here in Chinatown has hostesses that dress like that. In red with a big slit up one leg. Kinda weird because it's a family restaurant. But I guess if they walked you to your table like Morticia Addam's it would take forever.
@@jefffromchicago6321 The Band-Maid concept originated when Miku Kobato was a waitress at a Maid Café, a service oriented restaurant focused on making the customers happy. She liked her cute anime style French maid uniform and thought that a band playing hard rock while wearing cute maid uniforms would be memorable. She also liked the customer service concept of the Maid Café. Band-Maid concerts are called Okyuji (servings) and band members interact with the audience as though they were serving them at a café. Band-Maid puts on live shows like no other.
@@etoineschrdlu9382 thanks for the reply. I'm not a newbie though. I've been to 8 shows.
yees! another one for me to rock out too on alexa while I'm cooking I love a good shred and this one was excellent Kudos sir.
👍👍👍👍👍
😁
Their last few albums have been leaning heavier on the Metal side of rock, What I do love about them is they have a wide spectrum of songs throughout the entire spectrum of rock.
Red Rose Miku, Sept. 14, 2017 interview: At the Band forming nobody in our band had done "Hard Rock" so we had started without knowing anything - we have grown greatly musically as a Band.
All of their growth is astonishing but Kanami is just another level genius. She was basically a solo singer songwriter, keyboard player and acoustic guitarist ( think early Neil Young) when Band Maid formed although we know that she had played in school bands doing classic rock covers as well. Then over the first two years of Band Maid whilst they were playing songs provided for them she developed her rock writing and arranging skills and eventually nailed it with Alone which was quickly followed by a brilliant single 6 months later, YOLO, Matchles Gum and Unfair Game and then 2 months later with 8 more incredible new songs on Just Bring It. The floodgates were truly opened.
Band Maid usually does 22 or so songs in a concert and they have a number of instrumentals to give the singers a break. They also do one song with the Rhythm guitarist singing lead and she does a miku magic time which is audience participation all to give Saiki(lead singer) a break. Miku is the leader of the group, she is playing a Zemaitis, Flappy Pidgeon guitar which the company made for her and sells with a pink or baby blue case, the Pidgeon refers to her(in japanese Dove and pidgeon are the same word). The PRS is because that company sponsors Kanami. The last 6 albums or so they wriite all of their own music. I suggest the live Manners and Black Hole video, No God, Influencer or for older Domination live, Rinne, Bubble, Moratorium but really everything is good. Also, live is always worth watching because they are definitely a band who can play as well live as they do recorded. They also have 14 of their songs turned into an acoustic only christmas concert they did a couple of years ago. Watch Misa, she has this talent to tuck the pick and instantly switch between pick and pop and slap.
Favorita Bandmaid song is always the last song you heard. And Bandmaid is one extreme since they always make you to come back for more listen. Good choice and keep on reaction with great new bands.
Onset (live) and From Now On are 2 more Band-Maid instrumentals you would like. Misa is simply the coolest bassist on the planet. Not only is she beautiful and dressed so cool, but the way she moves on stage lets you know she was born to be a rock star.
Something heavy?

The bass player is known as the barefoot assassin. Now you know why. The black outfits are allegedly also maid outfits, I think one is some Spanish maid outfit and I forget about the other. Anyway, it's fitting that MISA and Saiki are in all black because they are the "coolest" - what they all are is BAD-ASS!!!
Theyre touring in the US right now. Grab a ticket! Ive seen them a bunch of times, both here and in Japan. Ill be in Detroit on the 24th.
Misa is the Barefoot Assassin... plays without shoes so she can feel the rhythm and stay in tune with the music.
Also... they're music will grow on you, until it has you and then you wont be able to live without it. Its a weird phenomenon.
The stereotypical maid Cafe will have them dressed like the 2 guitarists. There's a 1000 different Cafe styles though, from cat girls to scantily clad demon girls to french maids to British to aquatic themed dresses with clip on fish tails.
Funny thing The rhythm guitarists guitar is a zemaitis flappy pigeon. Her own signature line limited production and can easily match the lead guitarists prs both are $$$$$$$$. Great react .

Kanami, the lead guitarist of BM, inspired me to buy a PRS. One hell of a guitar. 🎸⚡You should get one.
The bass player (Misa) wasn't really down for the maid costumes, so her costume is a compromise but fits her nickname very well, "The Barefoot Assassin", always plays barefoot.
I forgot to mention it's some form of Ninja garb, which goes well with her nickname of "The Barefoot Assassin".
band-maid music tends to grow, whether it's made an initial impact or otherwise. if the musical hooks won't catch your ear, the intricate structure in their songwriting will.
Band Maid hype!
Are you diggin' Japanese Metal Saturday, my friend?!!?

Jeremy mate!
Greetings from Shizuoka City under the benign care of Mount Fuji!
Misa is popular for many reasons, but what most people forget is that she is very shy in public but quite goofy and outgoing in private and is known for her dirty jokes. Actually, she had a bit of a rough youth, what with her parents divorcing and her mother marrying again. She stayed with her mother, looking after her little step sister she is very protective of. Musically, she has had a very solid education form piano to finally concentrating on the bass. She started with a 4-string bass but now exclusively uses a 5-string instrument. She can play any kind of bass from jazz to metal and and contributes a lot to Kanami's compositions. She was introduced by the drummer Akane who attended the same highly reputed Tokyo School of Music.
At one time she was feeling like quitting but has now become an indestructible pillar of the band.
Expect more contributions from her!
Best regards,
Robert-Gilles (Martineau)
MISA is dressed as an assassin maid. Not positive that was an official thing before, but it is now lol.
If you like the instrumentals, you'll like their song, 'Without Holding Back'. However, if you want more Metal influenced BAND-MAID check out 'Different', 'Black Hole' and 'Rinne'. But no, maids don't dress like MISA. And MISA has stopped dressing like a maid, though she was always in all black. They used to call her look Maid Assassin. Sometimes the other members call her Ass Chin for the cleft in her chin. As for tuning they usually use a Digi Tech Drop Box.
So bandmaid is one of those bands that just shines in their live shows. You should check out Band-Maid Domination live next. They are one of my favorite Japanese bands and I feel like you will really enjoy them live.
Misa didn't feel comfortable wearing dresses, so they agreed to wear what they liked. She don't like wearing shoes either, so she goes barefoot most of the time. Her nickname is the barefoot assassin. And I think she kills that Bass, lol. You should check out Bestie and Hate? That's two of my favorite songs.
The only ones that stay true to the maid costume are the two guitar players, the other 3 kinda just do their own thing, which I think works better than if they all looked the same.
Assassin Maid PO!
Time for the live stuff. Next level compared to studio recordings
Band Maid's sound is still evolving. None of their albums sounds exactly like the one that came before.
3:55 - It's a shame the mix doesn't let you hear that bottom B-string on Misa's bass when she goes to the lower frets (she might even be hitting it open at the end of that drop - that'll be a c. 31 Hz fundamental!).
Hey thanks my man, thanks for the shout out, great reaction
Thanks again for the coffee and the nice comment. This was fun!! ✌🏽
Only Miku the band founder had worked in a maid cafe - that was what gave her the idea of that image and contrasting it to a hard rock sound.
And no, The bassist Misa started with a more maid like outfit - it was black, but kinda like a Edo period servant / assasin look lol- and as she goes barefoot on stage the fans nicknamed her the barefoot assasin - and she has stook with that image and its moved futher away from the kinda servant/maid style from several albums back.
The lead singer (whos not in this video obviously- also doesnt look like much of a maid - her outfit started kinda like a spanish style servant outfit but has moved away from that a bit more - tho still more miad/servant like than misa's.
The only thing to be absolutely clear on is the look is a style they came up with from the start- its not to sexualise them - they are not a studio band - they came up the long hard way by playing hundreds of tiny gigs in pubs etc and write their own music (except in the early albums)
MISA MISA MISA!!!!!
Nice choice🤘🏻
Saiki (vocals) and Misa (bass player) were the least enthusiastic about the maid outfits so they eventually changed into their own outifts that fit their styles. Misa also is barefoot when she can.
I think Onset official live is their best instrumental
Watch another instrumental called WITHOUT HOLDING BACK and you'll be more impressed. They can play any genre and, in fact, blend them together in their original compositions. They aren't metal in the strict sense of the word. If you want crazy bass listen to NO GOD. You've only touched the surface.
Underestimate the Maids at your peril a bit like pissing off Mike Tyson 😂 👍🍻
@Roger Chance Good man I aim to be the same way later , just remember Dean Martin who said if you can still hold onto the floor you're still good for more (or words to that effect) 😄👍🍻🥂
@Roger Chance 😄👍🍻🍻 meant to be 🥂
MISA do not have a maid outfit. They are jokingly calling it an "assassin maid outfit" when people asks about that. Note, MISA - all capital letters is her name.
Google “Maid Cafe” and you will understand.
I looked up the word "tight" in Websters Dictionary, and overlooking my old girlfriend's photos.....Band-Maid's picture was there with no explanation.......weird right?
ai,ai,ai・・・♪？
"crazy train"？
"Extreme" music does not make it good, even in metal.
Well that’s totally subjective depending on the person and their preferences. To some, extreme helps make the emotion even more intense…which to those folks, would make it good. Or for me, more extreme parts, time signatures, arrangements…can be more interesting sometimes. It all depends on what you like.
I’m just happy that we have so many diverse artists. Otherwise, life would be pretty boring.
You obviously have a low opinion of any band that you only allow 10 percent of your share of the screen.......
We've evolved over the past year. Thanks for stopping by. ✌🏽
Hi,...You said,...nice dress,...nice Amp,...nice guitar,...nice, nice, nice. Ok,...as an Audio Engineer I can understand you a little bit.
But I think you have not realy understood the genius of this band as a musician.Sorry!
Hey there! No need to be sorry. It's hard to process everything at the same time for first-time reactions. I've since done more Band-Maid and re-listened to this song many times. I get the hype. Happy Halloween! ✌🏽
Thanks for your answer,and I think I was too fast with my comment,....sorry again and cheers!!!@@musikbyjh
