Some of my fav brekkie items are: home fries or hashbrowns, pbj sammy, bowl of piping oatmeal and during colder winter months minestrone soup with toasted buttered baguette slices. Play some Japanese Breakfast in the background for mood. 😊
When Akane raises her arm in the air, you KNOW you are in for great stuff. She did it twice before her famous solo in "Freedom" live. When the arm goes up, it's on, folks. I think she did it also between Dice and Hate? at Lollapalooza. When Akane tells you it will be great, listen!
This instrumental has permanently placed Kanami in my guitar god strata. She is too consistent at producing memorable melodies and riffs that pierce my soul. She will never fail. Awesome and Amazing is not even good enough for her. Peace to all.
@@GaryHolloway-810 Sorry, waaaay to much great music that I enjoy immensely. And she's the main culprit of this obsession. And I must call it an obsession. Without the music you got a comedy team maybe. They can do skits and put'em on YT. 😲🙃
Took two flights each way from Canada to see them in NYC October28th at Irving Plaza. Venue only held 1200 ppl with great acoustics. Absolutely the best concert I’ve ever attended. The entire band is so incredibly talented but I believe Kanami has stolen my heart. 😍❤️🇨🇦
@DrumRollTony_Reacts , thank you Tony. If I didn’t have to work I would fly to Japan and turn into a full time groupie ! 😀 Your review was excellent and your depth of musical knowledge is very evident. Cheers ~
I'm glad you made the trip, it was a night I'll never forget. I've been to a lot of shows over the last 50 years or so, but this one was special for me as Band-Maid is personally reviving rock from its doldrums and they are a throwback to the great rock groups of the past and they have vaulted to number one on my list of live performances. The only other ones close were The Doors at the Whiskey a Go Go in LA in 1969 and a massive Atlantic Records Concert in Madison Square Garden in either the late 70's or early 80's. My bucket list includes a trip to Japan to see Band-Maid, Wagakki Band, Baby Metal, Scandal, Nemophila, Aldious and Li-sa-X on their home field.
Band-Maid will go down in the history books as one of the greatest bands of all time. Saiki is the passion, Kanami is the soul, Akane is the pulse, Misa is the groove, and Miku is the heart of the band. Individually they are spectacular but together they are unstoppable! World Domination po!
Hopefully one day they will tour together with the Mexican sisters they met at Aftershock. ruclips.net/video/sCxlA7OWg8o/видео.html ruclips.net/video/pTtH8jozrQQ/видео.html ruclips.net/video/3_RB0tRI624/видео.html
I just knew you were going to replay that sick fill twice! Didn't really appreciate how complex that lead/rhythm guitar duet was until you replayed it. This song has so many layers you learn something new every listen!
AKANE really outdoes herself here; she has really fast hands. KANAMINCHO again shows the world that she is a masterful compose without equal. For more heavy BAND-MAID, and AKANE’s fastest drumming, hear RINNE (“reen-nay”).
Pure genius and that is not overstating it. Kanami is the preeminent songwriter of our time! And Miku never gets enough credit for her rhythm guitar play. She is the backing while the others shine. So stable in her playing. The piano over the top is just another Kanami insert that fits so well. Note: Kanami plays piano.
I've already listened to this song at least 2000 times (I'm not kidding) and it never bores me. Damn it's so beautiful... Anyway man, we wouldn't mind a 25 minute video 😏
It's good that Mincho, got a bit selfish, & wrote a song for herself. She absolutely shines for the whole song. The other three maids supporting her in such sublime fashion, is a real treat to the ears & the Soul. Akane is in 'Animal' mode (from the Muppets) for parts of this song. My favorite breakfast you ask? Fried bacon & egg, with cheese on toast, and sautéed onion & mushrooms over the top.
They played this in Seattle, but it's hard to remember the song out of the whole concert if you hadn't listened to it before. They play with a backing track in all their songs, even live. Thanks for all the great breakdowns in the song writing. I have always thought that Band-Maid appeals to musicians because Kanami is such a studious music geek that musicians will really appreciate their writing. We also know that Akane and Misa write their own parts based off Kanami's outline, and then Kanami puts it all back together, oftentimes without much editing. Anyways, this song is amazing. So epic yet uplifting. The orchestral intro started from Sense and they've said they're interested in incorporating more elements like that in their other songs, and this one being the result.
The backing tracks are kept on Kanami's laptop that she is never without on tour. Both Kanami and Miku are working on new songs even when they are on tour. Herman Li interview.
@@outwest1014 someone mentioned that Kanami didn't have her own laptop that she uses for songwriting on the US tour so she had a ton of ideas that she couldn't work on, but now that she's home, she's able to put those down and get going on them.
@@outwest1014 kanami said in a fanclub email that she didn't have her laptop with her this time so I expect they were on a tablet and/or thumb drive. Ever since sense she's really hot into writing and creating these. She's really growing as a producer.
Great job Tony!. You can bring a 25 min video whenever you want!. This is absolutely peak Band Maid. Aggresive, symphonic, heavy, melodic... I think these five girls really think "why to choose?, let´s put everything together in our magic marmite and invoke the secret spell"... and everything fits perfectly like in a swiss watch. Goddess tier level of sorcery of course. Thank you sir!
I witnessed this song performed in Tokyo as 12th song in the setlist and Band-Maid played it in 12 out of 13 US concerts as 8th to 11th. Most of the audience at those venues had of course already known their skills and talents. When I heard that they played this instrumental piece as opening at Saitama Super Arena on Nov.6 as support to Guns N' Roses (like they did at Aftershock), I felt very proud of them. Yeah! they showed off their skills and talents to GNR fans who did not know who the girls in maid outfit on the stage were. I felt as if I heard them screaming "Hey guys! Listen to us and open your eyes wide! We are not the persons that you think ! Salute us!" 😄 Thanks from B-M's homeland 有難う💛。
Hello Mr. Flugelhorn. I recently stumbled upon this. You might think it's kawaii. At the 1:40 minute mark Su-metals sister give a great Miku imitation ruclips.net/video/JRhpox6pTLE/видео.html
This is Kanami with the handcuffs off. Straight Mincho going ham and it’s only possible because who she has behind her. This is TRULY a five piece band.
Many of us -- right, Tony ;-) -- just recently saw Band-Maid play “From Now On” live. OMNG! Kanami riffed her ass off. And the BPM’s matched the DB's! 😶🌫
Great video, love the commentary! I dont mind the pausing/rewinding at all, I love the input you provide. This song is one hell of a song! There is such an emotional presence in the song. You can really feel the emotions that are being played out with the instruments. I describe this song as powerful like the ocean and Kanami is the mighty tide. She builds things up like a wave builds up and then all the instruments return to create that crashing impact that waves have. It would not have been possible for Kanami to blend so many crazy things together into a cohesive composition without have confidence that Miku could hold things down on the rhythm. Miku was SO essential to keeping everything together. She provided a solid foundation that could have easily been swept up by the ocean tide known as Kanamis playing. Miku really is the glue that holds everything together.
Their technical skill and creativity makes a mockery of most bands. They are not a prog band but they can hold their own with any of them. I like to call them the beautiful machine. Great reaction, rock on 🤘
Brother they dropped another concert video from I think 2017, the song is Don't You Tell Me live. Epic back and forth between The Riff Goddess and the barefoot assassin. All with Akane on the toms underneath holding the tempo beautifully. This is also just a killer song. If you can fit this in, I believe you would really enjoy it. Keep on keepin on Tony. 3 more weeks on the road then home to Lynnwood! Bacon and eggs for breakfast. Can't beat it
@@jkkansasband7056 Haha. Jk if Kanami was racing i'd get a vantage point on the route & watch....& accidently kick the other cyclists off their bikes as the went past.😏
It's so nice to see you back to Band-Maid. I enjoy all of your reactions, but Band-Maid is the reason that I'm here. And you have so much more left to cover :) This song is incredible, and it was awe-inspiring to hear live. Such a show-off piece for the instrumentalists.
Heavy and intense are good descriptors. This I feel shows as you said that Band-Maid collectively keeps progressing, even after 9 years now, still perfecting, genius song writing, and one of the best Stage bands I have seen (saw them at the Neptune at start of tour) Funny but I can tell by your reaction/analysis your a band director...Earlier in life I was in band and symphony, would have loved to have had you as a director, lol! Your reaction to "a lot going on" reminded me of my past: music directors were always cool in my experiences. I really like your critical but analytic style. now watching, regards from Seattle.👍 oh yea, and it is Fruit and grain cereal.
Backing tracks played and composed by Kanami herself (who is a classically trained musician, along with Akane), which is pretty damned awesome, if you ask me. BTW, yours is the most informative reaction to this song, or any Band Maid song for that matter, and this non-musician really appreciates all the technicalities I learned from watching you. Kudos! 👏👏👏
The bands dexterity and Mincho's compositions are off the chart awesome, can't get enough of this band, only band to grab me like this was Rush first time I heard them in 1978
It is my understanding Kanami is also a trained concert pianist. This is the first song I have heard where (I assume) she has overdubbed a piano part throughout. And you were the first reactor to even notice it. You break things down to the details of what incredible stuff they are doing, others just go "WOW."
Two of my favorite commentator quotes directed at Band Maid (more than once...or twice...or three times) from 2016: (a) "C'mon, that's not really THEM playing those instruments?"; (b) "They'll never keep this up -- women have no stamina!". Oi, Oy and Oh Boy!!!
@𝙏𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙢 𝙢𝙚🤳DrumRollTonyReacts You're working with a person who lives odd and irregular hours of being awake, AND can never seem to remember what he needs to do when he actually has a chance to do something about it. So, having said that, how may I be of assistance?
I don't think you stop and expound enough!! We call you stop and go Tony in the studio. Keep up the good work sir. Those who don't like it can tune in a talk show on am radio.🤪🤪
Your "interruptions" are accepted as they are informative and helpful in understanding the music. The interruptions that are not acceptable are the reviewers who have nothing more to say than - WOW, Awesome, Cool, etc., with no real informative comments. Keep up the good work and visit BAND MAID more often!!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Reading the comments, many claim that they are the BEST band right now/ever/in the universe. Don't get it, know several bands that are better, for example...thinking...shit...that's where my argument collapsed. (Groucho Marx: Don't bring facts, it interferes with my argumentation.)
if you wanna hear something with vocals, highly recommend "HATE" or "I'll" from their newest EP/album. Think those two are their most interesting and unique songs.
3 minutes and 45 seconds that shows pretty much every band that dares to poach in Band-Maids territory who the real bosses are. 🔥🤘🏻 _____________________ 「 _'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!'_ 」 --- *BAND-MAID* 'Manners' 🕊
Since you already have BAND-MAID covered, definitely check out GRANRODEO, who was the second support band during Guns 'n' Roses' japan live, so definitely a HIGH recommendation for rock fans. As for songs/mvs to check out: - Pierrot Dancin', great MV and just a banger overall - CAN DO, probably their most well known song due to being a Kurono no Basket OP - CRACK STAR FLASH, fun MV, although definitely a flashing lights warning if needed - BEASTFUL, more on the metal side, but such a damn bop. Slight gore warning for the mv though - QUESTION TIME, main song of their latest album and honestly, ist one hell of a more jazz/funk song with rock elements, but it's so good! And last recommendation - SUPERNOVA, it's just such a beautiful song and MV, definitely something to check out Sorry if I went overboard, I just LOVE this group a lot!
Can you react to "Wagakki Band - Homura + Akatsuki no Ito from 1st JAPAN Tour 2015 Hibiya Yagai Ongakudo"? It's quite a unique band im sure you will like it.
Brother, these girls never let you down. So much talent... The Riff Goddess is just Fn amazing. They all are amazing. Not a weak spot in this band. Love the Maids!
Kanami lists Larry Carlton, Carlos Santana, and Eddie van Halen as influences, and you can hear references to them from time to time in her playing. Now it might be just me, but in her writing another influence I hear is Frank Zappa, especially on this track, and especially in the way she weaves in her piano playing on the backing track. Full English breakfast with no baked beans but extra black pudding.
I've already learned that you have to see a reaction from those who stop all the time, after you've heard the song you like a thousand times, so as not to feel bad when they cut short the experience of listening to the song, but this guy is an extreme case hahaha I leave, I listen to it a thousand times and then I come back because the reaction seems good, but now it distresses me hahaha
Have you reacted to one of their latest stuff "Balance" is my favorite song but very underappreciated. If you love Akane like me, it's such a fun song to listen to everyday.
It's too bad that there isn't a Kanami AND a Mincho because I'd love to see her playing the piano parts too. I've also said before that I'm not a musician so I can't tell if MISA is the best bassist around, but I can say that her bass is the best sounding bass I've ever heard.
Tony, I'm re-watching this for I think the 7th or 8th time, and I've gotten to the part where you say if you really went though and broke the song down this would be a 20+ minute song. Can I suggest you pull a Jack? Jack from JBF Music will do a reaction then go back later and do a detailed break down and explanation. I and probably quite a few other Maidiac's would really enjoy it if you DID do a break down video going into a deep dive.
Please react to Maximum the Hormone (e.g. "Yoshu Fukushu", "Let’s Talk about Menkata Cottelee" or "Hungry Pride"). MTH's drummer Nao has had a great influence on Akane and her playing style.
It never fails to amaze! Akane has a more of an American Style rather than a British Style Grip. But she holds the sticks so low she can get a lot of power with very little effort. But anyway, if you like this sort of song try 'Different'. But if you want something really heavy, I'm talking bordering on Thrash, try 'Rinne' (Reincarnation), either the Original Music Video or the Live-To-Tape Okyu-Ji, both are excellent, though the picture on the OMV is grainy because it was shot on 8mm film because the Japanese horror film the song is based on also used a lot of 8mm film.
I hope you react to corallium or giovani one day :) corrallium is just amazing with lots going on- but giovanni- as well as lots going its kinda so wierd and manic! Lots ofpeople dont gell with it right away but it grows on them. I wonder if you'll like it at all its so odd. p.s if you DO ever do it, most fans recommend you listen to the instrumental version in the same vid (1 with 1 background) - it lets you hear whats going on a lot better instrumentally.

Took two flights each way from Canada to see them in NYC October28th at Irving Plaza. Venue only held 1200 ppl with great acoustics. Absolutely the best concert I’ve ever attended. The entire band is so incredibly talented but I believe Kanami has stolen my heart. 😍❤️🇨🇦
@DrumRollTony_Reacts , thank you Tony. If I didn’t have to work I would fly to Japan and turn into a full time groupie ! 😀 Your review was excellent and your depth of musical knowledge is very evident. Cheers ~
I did the same to see them in Silver Spring MD.
Totally worth it.
I was at that show, up in the balcony. An incredible show! I drove from Pittsburgh. Worth the travel
I'm glad you made the trip, it was a night I'll never forget. I've been to a lot of shows over the last 50 years or so, but this one was special for me as Band-Maid is personally reviving rock from its doldrums and they are a throwback to the great rock groups of the past and they have vaulted to number one on my list of live performances.

Didn't really appreciate how complex that lead/rhythm guitar duet was until you replayed it. This song has so many layers you learn something new every listen!
Band-Maid's instrumentals are another level like no other.
AKANE really outdoes herself here; she has really fast hands.
KANAMINCHO again shows the world that she is a masterful compose without equal.
For more heavy BAND-MAID, and AKANE’s fastest drumming, hear RINNE (“reen-nay”).

Reading the comments, many claim that they are the BEST band right now/ever/in the universe. Don't get it, know several bands that are better, for example...thinking...shit...that's where my argument collapsed.
(Groucho Marx: Don't bring facts, it interferes with my argumentation.)
😆
if you wanna hear something with vocals, highly recommend "HATE" or "I'll" from their newest EP/album. Think those two are their most interesting and unique songs.
Chills !
3 minutes and 45 seconds that shows pretty much every band that dares to poach in Band-Maids territory who the real bosses are. 🔥🤘🏻

This is a Japanese version of Wipeout. Love it.
They used this in the US tour to give Saiki a longer break and it's so good that you don't realize there's no lead singer.
So Onset is no longer the official "Saiki's pee break" song? 😂
Having seen them in Dallas myself Band Maid is on another level live .
Great review as always
👍👍👍👍👍
Man you're reactions are awesome 👌 👏 😎
Instant rock anthology unequaled
Since you already have BAND-MAID covered, definitely check out GRANRODEO, who was the second support band during Guns 'n' Roses' japan live, so definitely a HIGH recommendation for rock fans.
As for songs/mvs to check out:
- Pierrot Dancin', great MV and just a banger overall
- CAN DO, probably their most well known song due to being a Kurono no Basket OP
- CRACK STAR FLASH, fun MV, although definitely a flashing lights warning if needed
- BEASTFUL, more on the metal side, but such a damn bop. Slight gore warning for the mv though
- QUESTION TIME, main song of their latest album and honestly, ist one hell of a more jazz/funk song with rock elements, but it's so good!
And last recommendation
- SUPERNOVA, it's just such a beautiful song and MV, definitely something to check out
Sorry if I went overboard, I just LOVE this group a lot!
Good choice
10:49 is the look I give when someone asks me if I've heard band-maid before.
Can you react to "Wagakki Band - Homura + Akatsuki no Ito from 1st JAPAN Tour 2015 Hibiya Yagai Ongakudo"?
It's quite a unique band im sure you will like it.
Brother, these girls never let you down. So much talent... The Riff Goddess is just Fn amazing. They all are amazing. Not a weak spot in this band. Love the Maids!
🤘
Yes, Mozart's, not Verdi's. Different tempo, but same notes. Kanami the short sample queen.
So Cool! 😍❤
Kanami lists Larry Carlton, Carlos Santana, and Eddie van Halen as influences, and you can hear references to them from time to time in her playing. Now it might be just me, but in her writing another influence I hear is Frank Zappa, especially on this track, and especially in the way she weaves in her piano playing on the backing track.
Full English breakfast with no baked beans but extra black pudding.
I was so blown away I didn't even realise there was a piano 😆, thanks for the analysis
Most likely played by Kanami.
Though it could be MISA also.
What is this What Kanami is Playing from 5:09 Thats Sick even for her Standards
Everyone always reacts to the piano but never the violins
Tony, you heard this in Seattle. It kicked off the middle part of the show where Saiki left the stage.
Sssshhh! Kanami is speaking
Original link is in the video description if you need complete silence. Reactions involve uhhhhh talking 😅
Kanami going dark and metal heavy on us !! If this is charted Kanami's brain went in overheat for at least a minute.
Such a great song
I hate when reactors cannot if wait for the the first riff to play before stopping the video..Thanks for the memories Tony. Good luck
LOL ok? Imagine thining that I am not allowed to stop and identify the Dies irae at the start before we get into it? Why do people comment this stuff?
I've already learned that you have to see a reaction from those who stop all the time, after you've heard the song you like a thousand times, so as not to feel bad when they cut short the experience of listening to the song, but this guy is an extreme case hahaha I leave, I listen to it a thousand times and then I come back because the reaction seems good, but now it distresses me hahaha
Was thinking of changing my name to "double paradidle Kevin" - oh, and yep this song SMOKES!!!!
Have you reacted to one of their latest stuff "Balance" is my favorite song but very underappreciated. If you love Akane like me, it's such a fun song to listen to everyday.
Didn't you hear them play this one in US tour?
I did. But.. lol, its a live show. Loud as fuck, drinks, people, repeat... it does not sound like this in that element
🤘😝🤘
Tony this was in the Seattle play list , nice to see MISA using the Black Smoker Bass again .
I just didn't remember
Plus live it's so loud you don't hear it like this. Perfectly mixed
Is Tony providing the free microscope to see the band with?---or are they even necessary?
It's too bad that there isn't a Kanami AND a Mincho because I'd love to see her playing the piano parts too.
I've also said before that I'm not a musician so I can't tell if MISA is the best bassist around, but I can say that her bass is the best sounding bass I've ever heard.
I'd love for Saiki to learn the piano parts and play with them live.
Vocals by PRS here.
MISA MISA MISA!!!!! Egg and Bacon Toasted Sandwich!
@DrumRollTonyReacts. I live in Australia NO gifts necessary lol
That’s good music !!
Tony, I'm re-watching this for I think the 7th or 8th time, and I've gotten to the part where you say if you really went though and broke the song down this would be a 20+ minute song. Can I suggest you pull a Jack? Jack from JBF Music will do a reaction then go back later and do a detailed break down and explanation.
I and probably quite a few other Maidiac's would really enjoy it if you DID do a break down video going into a deep dive.
Yes, there are two guitarists in this band- both great at what they do. That first decent fill by Akane killed me too. Great job.
Please react to Maximum the Hormone (e.g. "Yoshu Fukushu", "Let’s Talk about Menkata Cottelee" or "Hungry Pride"). MTH's drummer Nao has had a great influence on Akane and her playing style.
This is soo sick that They were so confident in this Instrumental that they made a music video for it.
i dare say, 'from now on' is a film composer's wet dream.
Just joined your channel and it's pretty cool. You should make a video reaction of ADO music from One Piece Red Film.
Never even been nominated for a Grammy and that's just wrong!
Kanami The Goddess
Above all maybe kanami has such amazing taste.
Kanami composes songs always using the piano .because she is a pianist before being a guitarist.
Anytime you hear silence in a Band-Maid song, be prepared to be slapped in the face.
It never fails to amaze! Akane has a more of an American Style rather than a British Style Grip. But she holds the sticks so low she can get a lot of power with very little effort. But anyway, if you like this sort of song try 'Different'. But if you want something really heavy, I'm talking bordering on Thrash, try 'Rinne' (Reincarnation), either the Original Music Video or the Live-To-Tape Okyu-Ji, both are excellent, though the picture on the OMV is grainy because it was shot on 8mm film because the Japanese horror film the song is based on also used a lot of 8mm film.
I missed BAND-MAID fr
Same. I was quickly reminded how good they are
Hi. RUclipsr "Lindross" has Band-Maid songs only drums (Sense, Black hole...).You must see.
I was hoping you would grab this one.
I hope you react to corallium or giovani one day :) corrallium is just amazing with lots going on- but giovanni- as well as lots going its kinda so wierd and manic! Lots ofpeople dont gell with it right away but it grows on them. I wonder if you'll like it at all its so odd. p.s if you DO ever do it, most fans recommend you listen to the instrumental version in the same vid (1 with 1 background) - it lets you hear whats going on a lot better instrumentally.
