The acoustic versions are totally different animals. Misa really shines in these acoustic versions and I would love to hear her playing an actual acoustic guitar. I suspect it would be very good.
The acoustic version is wonderful. I especially like the driving bass in the second verse. The original is also excellent, I love them both for different reasons.
That's the thing with Gary. Once he sets up shop in your head, you either board up the windows and break out the candles... or the world turns into a Holloway anime. 😵💫
Tasteful outfits for the acoustic...ensured no Xmas present from a sitting Saiki...Gary 🤣 They're unique...goosefleshyitis-inflicting master arrangers. MISAx3 bringing the feels too. Perfect twin reaction. More!! 👍🤘🤘🤘
Again, the genius of Kanami showing here, being able to change and re-arrange this song to the beautiful acoustic version! Love both versions! One thing that all the Christmas Concert songs have in common, to me anyway, is the vocals really shine, whether it's Saiki or Miku doing the lead vocals! Still the best Christmas present I've received that I never knew I needed!
Damn you Holloway 🤣😂 How many bands would have the musical courage to rearrange their tunes for an acoustic set like this and then smash it out of the park - Fckin Awesome indeed 🍻 What a band , Viva the Maids peace and love Po 👍🎼🥁🎤🎸🍻
This acoustic version really floored me, it’s such a good, clever reinterpretation of the original. Misa’s bass playing is sublime and Kanami’s acoustic solo was so cool.Although she had to restrain herself, Akane’s drumming is perfect. Saiki’s vocals, along with Miku, are pure magic. This acoustic version made me appreciate the original a lot more. Good review.
The actual line is "Sho ̄ mo nai kosei wa zenbu kowashite" meaning "Destroy all the personality that doesn’t exist." Now I have to try to purge what Gary did from my brain. Especially since this song, "After Life" appears to be one that will be in the setlist[s] for the upcoming tour.

The verse riff in the electric! Kanami's solo in the acoustic! They're both amazing! Suggest doing a double reaction for "Different." Yeah, thanks a lot, Gary and 2GEN! 🤣🤣🤣Now I too won't be able to unhear that in After Life too! I hear "rock and roll, baby" in one of the choruses in Manners. I know it's not really what they're saying, but I think it fits the spirit of the song. 😄🤘🤘
Yep Gary is one in a one. I would say in one in a million but I don't think we could handle that. On a side note how far down your list is REAL EXISTENCE?. LIVE and MV available.
Yeah that'd be awesome. I know 2GEN has already done "Don't You Tell Me" live but it'd be great if he did the MV too cos it's one of their best. P.S just being a Maidiac is good enough for me.😁
Another great double man, Keep 'em coming. One thing I love about Akane is the little Ringo Starr (The Beatles) sway she gets behind the kit sometimes. Oh and look the kit in the acoustic version is set up exactly like Ringo's in the early days.
Mate! Greetings and it is getting bleedin' hot again! Gary is the BAND MAID JOKER, their biggest fan, but be careful, it is sometimes tough to know whether to take it seriously or not. I have been the butt of his jokes myself, and it is always great fun. One of the biggest fans along with Tom Clark, SNOWDOG, Robert and so on! About saucy jokes, actually Misa is a specialist and all the other band members are looking forward to her dirty jokes, except Kanami who usually does not catch their meanings! As for the Japanese lyrics it does sound as you say although it is completely unintended! LOL Superb idea to react to them together! The electric version is often played during their live concerts. Akane and Misa are simply going crazy, while Kanami is lost in jazz. As for Saiki and Miku hey sound like a Cindi Lauper duet. Very difficult to classify as a genre. The acoustic version just shows their talent. I do not know of any famous rock bands playing their same pieces both electrically and acoustically near that well. Pure class! Thank you so much for another reaction from the guts! Best regards, Robert-Gilles
As with some other folks mention here, after first hearing the acoustic version, it's now difficult for me to not imagine, that the original electric one is too rushed- like it was recorder at a slightly too high 1.25X speed or something, lol. It just doesn't sound right somehow.
@@GaryHolloway-810 I made you the star of my show Gary!.(cough cough)...yes yes..I killed you off in the first scene (or did I?)...but still..fame is fame right!..😁
@@GaryHolloway-810 AH! AH! AH!...No! No! No!..It was Only 2 times😛 ..you didn't get fully bitten! ..And i'm not sure Pigeon poop on the face counts...and it was only 1 guitar string (which has yet to be ID'ed)...Naaah!..So..just a beating and garrote ...There..doesn't that feel better?😁....Just twice.🤣
If you get a kick out of that Afterlife lyric, you need to check out Don't Let Me Down. Whole song is 🔥😱🔥😱🔥😱🔥😱 I suggest listen first, then relisten while reading the lyrics. 😛😛😛😛
Occasionally there are some choice lyrics in Band-Maid songs. The classic one's are "You make me so wet", "Going down" which she eccentuates live by puting her hand between her thighs. Doing this show made a lot of work for kanami, who had to completely re-arrange every one of these songs.
That’s not what she’s saying, but it’s an interesting Mondagreen. I think it’s too late to watch the whole set; they took it down on February. Waiting for the CD.
I'm glad Mincho took the caffeine out of the acoustic version cause it's a great song... as usual!
Original vs Acoustic comparisons sounds like a great idea.
I wonder how many of those who doubted these ladies could play their instruments came forward and apologized...None I suspect.
It's definitely not gonna happen with the a$$hole Select Circle 😛.
Celect Circle...the Miku bullying creep.
Love this song ,love Band Maid,so awesome!!!!!
The acoustic versions are totally different animals. Misa really shines in these acoustic versions and I would love to hear her playing an actual acoustic guitar. I suspect it would be very good.
2GEN i honestly believe acoustic "Catharsis" is how the studio version should've originally been written :)
The acoustic version is wonderful. I especially like the driving bass in the second verse. The original is also excellent, I love them both for different reasons.
They're so different from one another and I love 'em both. Let's say the acoustic is the 'pussy[cat]' version and the studio is the tiger version. :)
The most incredible thing is what they did with the acoustic version of "Different." Kanami is almighty!☺
That's the thing with Gary. Once he sets up shop in your head, you either board up the windows and break out the candles... or the world turns into a Holloway anime. 😵💫
🤣
Gary and Terry Pratchett would have made a great team
@@glenkelley6799 I tried to imagine that combo and my head started spinning. 🤯
Always end up with a smile when hearing the acoustic breakdown section.
