MISA turned her bass levels up when the sound man wasn't looking. 😂 She brings a lot of Funk and Jazz to her bass solos. One of the best young bassists out there - regardless of genre or gender.
I saw them in Japan in 2018..flew from Los Angeles just to see them. (I work for an airline, so airfare is cheap) Awesome. A couple months later, I flew back to see the Wagakki Band. You guys need to review them..they are even better than Band Maid
BAND-MAID are geniuses as combining hard-rock, metal, pop and jazz into their songs. They have said they purposely try to put as much into each song as they can so as not to make it just a series of repetitive sections crammed together. Simply put they are brilliant!!!
Great review! As someone who grew up on 70's, 80's & 90's Hard Rock, Metal & Grunge I have resigned myself that I will never be so lucky to experience the same feeling as when seeing Iron Maiden live in concert in 1983 or witnessing the next impactful band like Tool in a small club just on their 3rd gig touring their first album Opiate in 1991. But Band-Maid has been the one band that has done it. They are the one band that took me there. I had been fortunate enough to see them live last year in small club in LA when they did their 5 city mini tour. I would rank it up there with Tool and Maiden live. These Maidens are the real deal. Not only are they TOP NOTCH musicians but are damn good songwriters. I have fallen into the BAND-MAID rabbit hole and cannot see myself getting out. They have an extensive library of tunes which I have yet to encounter a bad song yet. If your looking to do some tracks then : Play (live), Moratorium (live), Puzzle, Real Existence, Alone, Dice, Blooming, Secret My Lips, Renne (Reincarnation), Take Me Higher are a few to get the ball rolling.
I refer to Band-Maid's genre as MGR = Multi Genre Rock. One reason why people can replay their songs over and over is because their compositions are rich, dense and complex... all in a good way with lots to discover. Not many bands do that or could even get away with that without sounding confusing and aimless. But because each of the Maids have different musical frames of reference and are such accomplished musicians, and Saiki is a unique sounding, fully rounded vocalist, they pull it off fantastically.
Exactly! It turned out in the end that it's another one of their anthems! Which nobody expected when they first presented this song last year in Europe. We were all confused 😆 Everybody thought, oh, it's another "start over" 🙄 Studio version has completely changed my impression of it, I thought it's one of the most fascinating songs in CONQUEROR. But when they have presented the live version at Line Cube Shibuya, my perception of it has been revolutionized once again! Actually, it's the same for "endless Story." I was not very much impressed with the MV (I think it's rather distracting), but the girls said in the interviews that the song is written for the arenas, and I really looked forward to seeing it performed at some stadium. Then I heard it in the Summer Sonic festival broadcast, and it was great! It's absolutely true, it's a great song for arenas! BAND-MAID always broadens my horizons 🤩 Just do what the Pigeon says, and no-one gets hurt 😁
That song is an SAIKI show (singer), her range is awesome! It´s kind of a ballad for sure, but by far not easy or "slow"... Nice reaction again, you both did really enjoy it that´s nice and the reason music is made for! Thanks to Band-Maid i really can enjoy music again. It´s really tough to say they are this kind of genre or this one, it´s rock, punk, ballads, even metal parts, funk... Next time Blooming or Onset maybe? Blooming MV is the newest song and very "heavy" and Onset LIVE is an pure instrumental and they are just showing off like crazy, your choice. Have a nice weekend!
Some of the coolest vocals as Miku Saiki do some excellent harmonies especially in the more difficult parts. MIku's voice rises with Saiki's, even in the falsettos
What sets them apart from even the great old classic rock bands is 1) classical training 2) a good feel for funk and jazz (which you were picking up on as "pop") and 3) there isn't just one star musician, but all five are outstanding.
If you guys want to hear something a little heavier from these amazing ladies, try the Rinne MV or live Domination from February 14th 2020.Thanks for the great reactions, your reaction to Thrill was the first time I had ever heard of BAND-MAID, and I'm so glad I watched it. I really love this band!
31,000 views for your "Freedom" reaction is impressive, especially since your channel subscriptions are 1/10th that. You two are good at this because your appreciation of Band-Maid's musical skills are genuine without being over-the-top. I've added my sub today. Thanks!
Write those originals, absolutely, you guys would nail it, I completely believe in you. I revisited your reaction as I find this song is a complete masterpiece - really intricate instrumentation and absolutely beautiful - and love your guys knowledgeable appreciation. I don’t know if know a more beautiful song that rocks this hard at the same time. I read that when Kanami finished the music, she told the others she had created their first true masterpiece and I agree completely. Stellar! And then their performance- wow!! 🤩✌🏼
Welcome back to the Wonderland, which is known as Band-Maid. This Band just make us smile. Keep 'em coming. 😃One live song a day, keeps the doctor away.
been loving the maids for 4 years now . so many good songs it's criminal! 7 years of kickass hard rock under their belt and at least 50 great songs. now you NEED to hear japanese all girl power metal band LOVEBITES. 2 dueling shredders that will melt your face and a nuclear reactor of a drummer. do not miss these girls . 4 years in with no bad songs. here's a link for one of the newer mv's called when destinies align that will win you over .ruclips.net/video/hLFelI93VkM/видео.html
One of their best arranged songs. The lyrics also in this case are paramount for the music and composition. Hence the song's flow, breakdowns, etc. (a "fun" song? idk...haha, cheers): Lyrics: Unintentional words won’t do I demand a proper explanation Simplicity isn’t my cup of tea Allude to bewitch Let me believe Believe you believe you It’s always important Worn out and full of it, can’t cry at all This is how my voice leaked out Fades out into a dream I understand, I don’t understand I understand, I don’t understand Looping, passing each other It’s back to zero once again However, however There must be some way Trace the trail of the path we walked Unintentional words won’t do I demand a proper explanation Simplicity isn’t my cup of tea Allude to bewitch Let me believe Believe you believe you These ticklish memories aren’t bad Thus, at a blink of an eye It gets heavy, stuffed, faded But what happened on that day I haven’t forget about it even once It’s not like this, it’s not like that I kept wishing and wishing, but nothings comes true These emotions are even more colorful and stronger Ever so endearing and lovely Thinking what should I do? Turns out it was impossible Though it’s not an inevitable meeting My heart won’t be swayed by anything other I don’t like to listen to this sad song I want you to smile You just trust me Trust me trust me Keep up the pace, keep up the pace, farther away Till the day when the sky falls (I can’t go back to the past Nobody knows the future But I only know this You are my world) I exist to be myself There’s only one place I belong This place wouldn’t change for the better Since it would change into a shining world Taste the sweetness and sourness Ah, without waking up That is… Though it’s not an inevitable meeting My heart won’t be swayed by anything other I don’t like to listen to this sad song I want you to smile You just trust me Trust me trust me To the wonderland Forever Oh please God, listen to my wishes I don’t want anything else Other than to be by Your side always Be connected with You For many years Many years many years
So every so often, instead of watching a reaction to something that I grew up on, I get treated to new music and I’ve gotta say I am very impressed. I’m a child of the 60’s, so I’ve heard everything from all those eras and more. Music to me has been extremely boring over the last 20 years, but because, I believe, that the younger generations are beginning to listen to older music, a lot of it our music, their imagination’s are taking them and us back to new places 😁 creatively speaking. Awesomeness, I’m glad you two did this one, now I’ve got something new to listen to. 🙂
This is the first song you guys reacted to that was written by these girls themselves. The girls (mainly Kanami) wrote several songs when they were preparing for the Brand New MAID album (which includes the song Freedom) but almost all the songs were rejected by their record company. However the record company aid accept one song "Alone". After "Alone", the record company let the girls write and make their own music. You should try to react to "Alone", the MV version. Usually fans would recommend the live version of a Band-Maid song, but the MV version of Alone is just so good. You won't be disappointed.
I'm not a pop fan. But l love this song. It's so complex. I've never heard any pop or ballads that sound this interesting and good. Love the way you phrased as 'deceptively weird' but from my pov they are deliciously weird!
This Wonderland and One and Only are my 2 favorite underrated songs from Bando-Maid. I also had some suggestions, one please do check out Unlucky Morpheus - Unending Sorceress. Thanks and ciao! /,,/
The songs are written by the lead guitarist, Kanami, and her favourite song is another slower one, called 'Daydreaming'. Live versions are hard to find now, but the music video is good ruclips.net/video/RCaeUkrItyY/видео.html
thank you for your grate reaction i love band maid. and my recommend "ningen isu" thay also good japanes band. I'm sorry my poor English. stay safe and helthay
I hope you're right. One of my favorite songs on Conqueror is the riff-laden rocker "Flying High", and it was noticeably absent from the Shibuya concert. I thought maybe they are saving this gem for a music video.
Recommendation from Japan : band : ASTERISM / 3 peace rock band song : RISING MOON / instrumental guitarist / another japanese talented female musician I am sorry. I am not so good at English.
If you think Saiki (the singer) was great in this performance you should try watching Puzzle Live which is band maid's best and most complex song. Here is a link if you need it: ruclips.net/video/OORfX6a3XXE/видео.html
es buena canción pero la mescla es bastante mala para mi gusto le bajaron demasiado al sonido de las guitarras cuesta escuchar a Kanami y a miku ya de por si ya su guitarra esta por el piso

That's the thing which makes them unique and makes fans respect and appreciate their hardwork 😁👌
Watch "Domination" Live from Feb 14th, 2020... you'll be blown away.
Band Maid-Blooming...🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great review! As someone who grew up on 70's, 80's & 90's Hard Rock, Metal & Grunge I have resigned myself that I will never be so lucky to experience the same feeling as when seeing Iron Maiden live in concert in 1983 or witnessing the next impactful band like Tool in a small club just on their 3rd gig touring their first album Opiate in 1991.

Jealous! I'm saving up for seeing them when they come to the US. I really hope they come to my area!

@@rindosolotouring ありがとうございました
Or anti-genre band. Lol
Literally all of their songs are great. Every time you listen to one of their songs you hear something new. Lots going on but it all fits together.
I really like the way this song is musically composed.
This song does have a "anthem feel". So does "Endless Story" from the same album, which was written specifically to have the "anthem feel".
Exactly! It turned out in the end that it's another one of their anthems! Which nobody expected when they first presented this song last year in Europe. We were all confused 😆 Everybody thought, oh, it's another "start over" 🙄 Studio version has completely changed my impression of it, I thought it's one of the most fascinating songs in CONQUEROR.

The way Saiki sways and flows!!!! This is a Masterpiece!

I second Onset ! Just love Misa solo

The genre is Band-Maid!! Nice reaction!
The transitions in this tune is masterful!! These ladies are the real deal, no joke!!
Want a rock ballard?...watch their "Daydreaming" MV..it's BEAUTIFUL!!
'Band-Maid was here'......
Write those originals, absolutely, you guys would nail it, I completely believe in you.
I revisited your reaction as I find this song is a complete masterpiece - really intricate instrumentation and absolutely beautiful - and love your guys knowledgeable appreciation.

この曲は初めてですが、全くアニソンです。今や世界のポップカルチャーを牽引して居る一つがアニメですが、其れに付けられているアニソンは綺羅星の様に神曲ばかり、世界の音楽の全てを網羅して居る。そしてBAND-MAIDの楽曲の多様性はアニソンポップカルチャーの一端と言う事です。
Go with band maid - yolo, you can hear another level of voice and rythm guitar, bass and anything you want ithink.
I hope you go with it 🙏
^ THIS ^
u just heard the most Technical ballad band-maid song.
Thanks again OLS! Hang Tough You guys are doing things right!
You can hear rhis song 10 times and still find new things happening in the background musically
Your Judas Priest cover was very impressive. Check it out people. I'll be looking forward to more BAND-MAID from the both of you.
Welcome back to the Wonderland, which is known as Band-Maid.
This Band just make us smile. Keep 'em coming.
😃One live song a day, keeps the doctor away.
Asks for harder Band-Maid songs, reacts to Wonderland...lol. Just poking fun, great videos guys!
Saiki makes me cry every time! Uhhh
Thanks you "guys". Had not heard Wonderland before. I really enjoy the Maids quieter stuff like this; Daydreaming, Anemone.
BAND MAID, so gooooood!!!! next BLOOMING please!
been loving the maids for 4 years now . so many good songs it's criminal! 7 years of kickass hard rock under their belt and at least 50 great songs. now you NEED to hear japanese all girl power metal band LOVEBITES. 2 dueling shredders that will melt your face and a nuclear reactor of a drummer. do not miss these girls . 4 years in with no bad songs. here's a link for one of the newer mv's called when destinies align that will win you over .ruclips.net/video/hLFelI93VkM/видео.html
One of their best arranged songs. The lyrics also in this case are paramount for the music and composition. Hence the song's flow, breakdowns, etc. (a "fun" song? idk...haha, cheers):
Lyrics:
Unintentional words won’t do
I demand a proper explanation
Simplicity isn’t my cup of tea
Allude to bewitch
Let me believe
Believe you believe you
It’s always important
Worn out and full of it, can’t cry at all
This is how my voice leaked out
Fades out into a dream
I understand, I don’t understand
I understand, I don’t understand
Looping, passing each other
It’s back to zero once again
However, however
There must be some way
Trace the trail of the path we walked
Unintentional words won’t do
I demand a proper explanation
Simplicity isn’t my cup of tea
Allude to bewitch
Let me believe
Believe you believe you
These ticklish memories aren’t bad
Thus, at a blink of an eye
It gets heavy, stuffed, faded
But what happened on that day
I haven’t forget about it even once
It’s not like this, it’s not like that
I kept wishing and wishing, but nothings comes true
These emotions are even more colorful and stronger
Ever so endearing and lovely
Thinking what should I do?
Turns out it was impossible
Though it’s not an inevitable meeting
My heart won’t be swayed by anything other
I don’t like to listen to this sad song
I want you to smile
You just trust me
Trust me trust me
Keep up the pace, keep up the pace, farther away
Till the day when the sky falls
(I can’t go back to the past
Nobody knows the future
But I only know this
You are my world)
I exist to be myself
There’s only one place I belong
This place wouldn’t change for the better
Since it would change into a shining world
Taste the sweetness and sourness
Ah, without waking up
That is…
Though it’s not an inevitable meeting
My heart won’t be swayed by anything other
I don’t like to listen to this sad song
I want you to smile
You just trust me
Trust me trust me
To the wonderland
Forever
Oh please God, listen to my wishes
I don’t want anything else
Other than to be by Your side always
Be connected with You
For many years
Many years many years
Band Maid is simply pure talent. I love listening to them.
I love their ballad/melodic love song tbh it won’t let me down tbh!
The way approach their writing is so different of the norm but completely refreshing and exciting. Definitely not the same old same old.
Band Maid we don't clean up. But we do clean house ! Band Maid, making rock and roll great again !
And they mop the floor with their contemporaries.
@@DMiyash248 LOL...and Saiki will stand there with her heel in your back until you clean it up. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Great job. Band Maid style is hard to define, many genres in each song, maybe fusion rock?. But the kind of NUCLEAR fusion rock.
So every so often, instead of watching a reaction to something that I grew up on, I get treated to new music and I’ve gotta say I am very impressed. I’m a child of the 60’s, so I’ve heard everything from all those eras and more.

another great live on is Domination live in 2020 and Rinne a video clip is ptretty rockin. sure you will like both. All live stuff, they crush it.
If you like soft song of them try daydreaming and endless story guys
Wwow, that sounded like Koda Kumi !
I'm not a pop fan. But l love this song. It's so complex. I've never heard any pop or ballads that sound this interesting and good. Love the way you phrased as 'deceptively weird' but from my pov they are deliciously weird!
Band-Maid、最高やわ！これからもどんどんリアクション動画投稿しちゃってね〜！
[play] and [dice] are great song choices
ONSET It;s instrumental and it ROCKS
This Wonderland and One and Only are my 2 favorite underrated songs from Bando-Maid. I also had some suggestions, one please do check out Unlucky Morpheus - Unending Sorceress. Thanks and ciao! /,,/

I vote that you check out their "Blooming" MV next. A bit faster and heavier.
🔥 🔥
thank you for your grate reaction i love band maid. and my recommend "ningen isu" thay also good japanes band. I'm sorry my poor English. stay safe and helthay
Band Maid 👐
More band maid.
MISA MISA MISA!
Only 89 songs to go! And it seems like they’re going to release a new single or two very soon.
I hope you're right. One of my favorite songs on Conqueror is the riff-laden rocker "Flying High", and it was noticeably absent from the Shibuya concert. I thought maybe they are saving this gem for a music video.
John Matthew they played it on 13 feb. I’m almost 100% certain there won’t be an MV for Flying High.
More Band-Maid please.
Recommendation from Japan :
band : ASTERISM / 3 peace rock band
song : RISING MOON / instrumental
guitarist / another japanese talented female musician
I am sorry. I am not so good at English.
me too I'm confused by it but LOVE it anyway. Try the MV of Daydreaming tis beautiful.
Watch their videos on Dice and Blooming. Enough said.
If you think Saiki (the singer) was great in this performance you should try watching Puzzle Live which is band maid's best and most complex song. Here is a link if you need it:
ruclips.net/video/OORfX6a3XXE/видео.html
Kimmy that name suits you well
It's a Band-Maid song. What more does it need to be?
If you want someting heavier, please react to Rinne, live is better but mv vorks as well
es buena canción pero la mescla es bastante mala para mi gusto le bajaron demasiado al sonido de las guitarras cuesta escuchar a Kanami y a miku ya de por si ya su guitarra esta por el piso
