Welcome to Band Maid 🎉 One important thing to remember: there is no such thing as “typical Band Maid.” They are a progressive hard rock fusion band that does everything from tearjerker ballads to thrash metal to arena pop rock to progressive metal instrumentals. It’s also critical to know they consistently outperform their studio tracks in live performances, so choose videos with that in mind. Enjoy the ride 🚀
MISA! MSA! MISA! *_The Barefoot Assassin_* You're right about the bassist. She dresses all in black and plays barefoot while killing it on the bass. 🥷🍺
Welcome to Band-Maid! The best hard rock band I have heard in my 57 years on this planet. They don't stick to any one genre and often mix genres in songs. They are extremely diverse and have an extensive 10 year back catalogue featuring Punk, Pop-Punk, Hard-Rock, Classic Rock, Metal, Prog, Blues, Jazz, Groove, Rap etc. From face melting 220 bpm punk-prog to ballads, instrumentals to acoustics they do it all. They are also five of the nicest people in music, without a shred of ego. They are funny and fun and bad-ass musicians to boot. They are currently celebrating their 10th anniversary with the original line up.
Thank you!! That’s absolutely incredible! Wow! That’s seriously amazing!! So cool! Makes me appreciate them even more when they’re humble and down to earth! That’s awesome! 😊🙌🏻🤘🏻
"Bass isn't something you hear, it's something you feel"...maybe true for ordinary bassists, but MISA is an extraordinary bassist. I suggest you try how MISA's bass sounds in her live performance. The song "HATE?" at Lollapalooza 2023 will be a good one for you😉
Welcome to the Band-Maid Pigeon Hole! That will make sense the more you get into Band-Maid. Live is best, but their MV's are not to be missed either! No bad choices with these amazing ladies!
I’ve been hearing that expression! So I’m guessing you’re right! It’ll make sense as I go along! That’s amazing!! Excited to check out more! Thank you! 😊🙌🏻
@@PANIC_aka_PinD OMG a like from P in D, i'm enamoured. Btw it was so ironic seeing your comment on Sena's channel right above Sal Saucedo's, my arch nemesis & B-M hater :)
Band-Maid is one of my current favorite bands together with Hanabie. The thing I love about Band-Maid is that they take everything I love about hard rock/metal adjacent genres, and make it better. The bass lines are audible and interesting; the drums are inventive and melodic, the guitar riffs are intricate and they manage to make every goddamn solo special(!) and not generic wankery; the vocals are powerful and have beautiful harmonies. Then they are put together to form a fluid and purposeful song structure. Jarring is the last thing that you think when listening to Band-Maid. This is done for 100+ songs, no throwaways or fillers! I love Band-Maid.
They are all exceptional musicians, but Akane, the drummer, deserves all the music awards in the world for her performance on this track. It is mind-blowing.
This was commissioned for the season two closer for the Netflix anime, Kengan Ashura. Since you're a drummer check out 'Freedom' LIVE next. It has Akane's one and only full drum solo.
You have just opened the doorway to a whole new listening experience to the best rock band in the planet. Listen to anything, it's all good and they cover all genres. Wait until you get into their live performances, they're even better.
They didn't tell the singer about the Maid costumes until she joined. They didn't want to drive her away. Thankfully she joined and the rest is history. Best Band Ever!!!!!!
You've just found your new favorite rock band! And I may have found my new favorite reaction channel! XG, Babymetal, Nemophila, Hanabie?! Oh hell yeah!😂🫶🤘👍
I recommend that you react to "Dice & Hate?" live at Lollapalooza 2023. It's just one video but Band-Maid melds two songs together for this show and I think those two songs truly belong together for best effect, and you'll especially LOVE how the bass gets used in this performance.
What a Wonderful Christmas Gift ! Seeing someone discover Band-Maid for the first time . Great Reaction I hope you continue playing The Maids on your channel =) please check out "The Non-Fiction Days" MV or just pick any song their all 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You will find "I have a good feeling about this" will always be an understatement regarding these Japanese bands. I mentioned before that the Japanese all female metal/rock scene is the best in the world & has been for yrds. Band-Maid, Nemo[hila & Lovebites are all elite in their musicianship with Hanabie nipping at their heels. One thing I love about Band-Maid is how prominent the bass is on their songs. Misa is an elite bassist. Love Fami from Lovebites as well as Hariguchi-San from Nemophila, but Misa's bass tones are awesone. Keep going down the Japanese rabbit hole, it get's better & better. Try Lovebites "Judgement Day" from Knockin at Heavem's Gate when U start your Lovebites journey. Happy holidays.
I’m definitely feeling that!! That’s awesome!! Seriously so excited to get more into these bands! Sounds amazing! Thank you!! Same to you! Happy holidays! 😊🙌🏻🤘🏻
I just stumbled onto your channel because you reacted to the greatest hard rock band in the world. Great reaction and welcome to the Band-Maid pigeon-hole. They just finished their 10 year anniversary tour and have about 120 amazing songs for you to check out.
Welcome aboard, Gigi. You are embarking on (along with many others - over 190 million YT views plus over 40 million reactor plays!) an awesome, progressive, hard-rock journey with 5 incredible women. Here's my intro blurb for those who may be new to Band-Maid:
BAND-MAID’s songs and sound beat with the heart and soul of all rockers. But you’ll also hear heavy influences of Prog, Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Jazz, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Joy of Playing, Consistency (125 songs), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destined for mega-stardom. Each member's personalities are super interesting and their musicianship among the best. Their writing, arrangements and overall sound, especially guitar tones and drums, are kick-ass! Having seen them LIVE, I can honestly say their performance, sound, stage appearance, and band synergy is off-the-rails spectacular! Band-Maid is the only band in decades where I love nearly EVERY song they’ve done. I have over 70 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: ruclips.net/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/видео.html Their songs from albums Unleash, Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Shambles, Warning, No God, Different, Black Hole, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Don’t You Tell Me, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Choose Me, I Can’t Live Without You, and on and on. But don’t miss out on their powerful, beautifully written, mid-tempo songs like Daydreaming, About Us, Memorable, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, At The Drop Of A Hat, Mirage and Smile... or more punky like After Life, Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like Manners and The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or a bit jazzy like Wonderland… or progressive like No God, Giovanni, and Black Hole… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like From Now On, Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts… or their many acoustic versions like Catharsis and Sayonakidori... and last but not least, their Anime hits like Sense, Glory and Unleash (from their own Anime MV (series?)): ruclips.net/video/7LB_EPS48HE/видео.html) And many songs are represented with 50 well produced music videos. ruclips.net/user/BANDMAID Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYU-JI concerts: ONLINE OKYU-JI (Feb. 11, 2021) “No God” ruclips.net/video/nAdWnIRjGak/видео.html Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA (February 14, 2020) “Domination” ruclips.net/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/видео.html ZEPP 2018 “Real Existence” ruclips.net/video/-qQnKILR5u0/видео.html Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 and other full concerts are on bandmaidprime.tokyo, bili, and official Band-Maid’s DVD/BD/CD. “P and D⁴” 30+ Photo Collage videos at www.youtube.com/@PinD2/videos And some of the better quality fan videos are excellent. Here’s two of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at an intimate venue: Shot by Pat McKee from their 2023 US tour concert in Detroit: ruclips.net/video/DgxU-MVjta0/видео.html See the Maids 2023 Rockville Festival’s short-set perfection performance: ruclips.net/video/vjZkNeoGmhc/видео.html If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, CD, DVD/BD & Merch, etc. bandmaid.tokyo Like most Band-Maid songs, I like them from the get-go but really start to appreciate them after more hearings and seeing their LIVE videos. I'll go back and see an older song like YOLO, Order, Shake That, Freezer, Before Yesterday, Real Existence, Non Fiction Days and Alone, etc. and realize there's no band that can consistently construct and play like Band-Maid. For fun, check out an awesome, little known "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009 Band-Maid Members: Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “StarQueen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 29 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away her sometimes perceived, coldish persona. Saiki’s powerhouse performances, charisma, and voice focus the experience that’s driven her to the top echelon of hard rock frontwomen... or frontmen! Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 32 years old. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR SpokesPigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. Kuruppo! No, no, no… KURUPPO!! Kanami Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 32 years old, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want from Mincho is more! Akane Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, 33 years old, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) while revolutionizing rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumZilla” is the Party! MISA (Me-Sa) "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass, 31 years old. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin literally kills it… every note... uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA! MISA! Maidiacs (Maid-e-acts) - Band-Maid’s crazed yet supportive, knowledgeable and loyal Super Fans. [BAND-MAID NEWS] BAND-MAID PRIME - Special Video Distribution Website. Along with nearly 50 great play-through’s by each member, concerts and skits, Band-Maid management / label(s) have included the Acoustic Christmas 2021, ZEPP 2018 and Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 concerts! Fans can now see more than 50 great live performances with awesome audio, etc. like Fate, I Can't Live Without You and the great MISA / Kanami exchange in Don't You Tell Me. Those concerts are two of the best produced & performed concerts ever recorded, IMO. bandmaidprime.tokyo The Maids SOLD OUT 2023 US & Mexico tour wrapped up and was a fantastic success. And so many great live fancams to watch! Their playing and antics were as fresh and fun to experience from first show to last. BRAVO Band-Maid!!!!! In addition, their Japan tour finished up with 13 concerts, AND they’re writing and recording for their new album. Their 10th Anniversary Tour concluded at Japan’s 17,000 seat Yokohama Arena on Nov. 26, 2023 and in Hong Kong Dec. 21! The Maids are one of the hardest working super groups in the business! Their music, their sound, each of the Maids, and the love that permeates their live events is an experience not to be missed. Hope you can catch them LIVE!

Dude I am so impressed how you picked up all the changes as they occured on your first listen geez you have a hell of an ear, it took me like 5 times thru. You are going to love EVERY BM song but bad news only 120+ of them, hah
Welcome to Band Maid. They are the best band going right now You can not go wrong with any of their songs. My favorite song is Moritorium. They are just as good live. Enjoy.
Some might say better live due to the energy from the give and take with the fans. We forget how amazing it is that their skill is so great that their live performances do no suffer. Playing is just as clean as a studio recording.
Band Maid is my favourite since almost 10 years. There is no such thing as a bad song from them. You will get more than you asked. Misa (bassist) have a special place in my heart.
Welcome to onboard join u s, Band-Maid World Domination journey. Band-maid is a Hardrock band , but near Metal , sprinkle with abit of Jazz , full of Positive Energy yet Catchy :) Jpop singer in Rock band which create the contrast of music. *** i bet u yet react to R&B singer in J-metal band yet, looking forward to reaction video 🎸🎸
Mate! Greetings from Shizuoka under the benign care of Mount Fuji! I have already read all the comments including the usual troll's! Great start on the Japanese rock scene which is simply unfathomable. I already know more than 100 worthy bands but you started with the best of them! Hold onto your eat for dear life and try and listen to Dawn by Asterism, Move Over by Glim Spanky, Te No Hira de Odoru by Sokoninaru, Homura + Akatsuki no Ito by Wagakki Band, Evolve by East of Eden, that is, if you can survive it! Best regards, Robert-Gilles Martineau
If you are a drummer you need to Akane Hirosi's solo in Freedom live. Welcome to the Maidiacs club. about 70 or more songs official live on here. good luck NOT binging on these girls. btw Jimmy Page is a fan of Akane drumming and went to see them live and met her.
Welcome to the best band this short century (though I don’t think 72 more years is enough to find one better). You’ve only scratched the surface. Probably not even a top 40 Band-Maid track imho; that’s how spectacular they are. I would suggest looking up “Band-Maid Hate live lollapalooza” and I promise you will not be disappointed, friend.😊
Welcome to BAND-MAID , Enjoy your journey down the Pigeon hole , The song Shambles is the closing song for anime Kengan Ashura , its an anime about fighters , MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! the Barefoot Bass Assassin , this was their latest MV , if you want to see where they came from Watch the official MV of Thrill , their first MV from 2014 , all the same Amazing Ladies .
Yes exactly " her voice" nice isn't it. Now BAND-MAID are the best rock band in the world and fortunately for you they have over 100 songs for you to discover including acoustic versions and other stuff. Now another all girl Japanese band is NEMOPHILA. They are punk metal although they have softer songs as well and they are renowned for their covers that are very popular. Start with Rise if you dare.
Absolutely! Awesome! I’m super excited to check out more! I’ve actually recently reacted to Nemophila for the first time with their song “Rise”! You can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/NyxLAKgf13g/видео.htmlsi=lsuC2xE76IkGXmf- Thank you!! 😊🙌🏻🤘🏻
A friend or another alias for SelectCircle, John P. Johnson, StarOcean? When have you come out of your cesspool! You even have the nerve to indicate a fake account! Robert-Gilles Martineau in Japan!

Every one of the Maids will crush your heart as you delve into their catalogue of over 130 videos. Get into it man. Especially their live ones.
Sounds amazing!! I’m excited! 😊🙌🏻🤘🏻
Welcome to the Band Maid rabbit hole. Check out all their official live performance videos like "Puzzle." They sound even better live. Enjoy!
It's pigeon hole, thank you😉
There are no Rabbit Holes in BAND-MAID. It's a Pigeon Hole. Why will become self-evident, but it's sort of like why it's a Fox Hole with BabyMetal.
😊🙌🏻🤘🏻
You have arrived on planet Band-Maid....enjoy your stay, you will never be disappointed.
Miku (rhythm guitar) adds the harmonies.
Thank you! Happy to be here! That’s awesome! 😊🙌🏻🤘🏻
Congratulations on discovering the best band in the world today, what a Christmas present for you! Enjoy the ride!! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂🕊

Like most Band-Maid songs, I like them from the get-go but really start to appreciate them after more hearings and seeing their LIVE videos. I'll go back and see an older song like YOLO, Order, Shake That, Freezer, Before Yesterday, Real Existence, Non Fiction Days and Alone, etc. and realize there's no band that can consistently construct and play like Band-Maid.
For fun, check out an awesome, little known "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009
Band-Maid Members:
Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “StarQueen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 29 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away her sometimes perceived, coldish persona. Saiki’s powerhouse performances, charisma, and voice focus the experience that’s driven her to the top echelon of hard rock frontwomen... or frontmen!
Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 32 years old. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR SpokesPigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. Kuruppo! No, no, no… KURUPPO!!
Kanami Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 32 years old, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want from Mincho is more!
Akane Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, 33 years old, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) while revolutionizing rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumZilla” is the Party!
MISA (Me-Sa) "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass, 31 years old. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin literally kills it… every note... uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA! MISA!
Maidiacs (Maid-e-acts) - Band-Maid’s crazed yet supportive, knowledgeable and loyal Super Fans.
[BAND-MAID NEWS]
BAND-MAID PRIME - Special Video Distribution Website. Along with nearly 50 great play-through’s by each member, concerts and skits, Band-Maid management / label(s) have included the Acoustic Christmas 2021, ZEPP 2018 and Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 concerts!

Those concerts are two of the best produced & performed concerts ever recorded, IMO. bandmaidprime.tokyo
The Maids SOLD OUT 2023 US & Mexico tour wrapped up and was a fantastic success. And so many great live fancams to watch! Their playing and antics were as fresh and fun to experience from first show to last. BRAVO Band-Maid!!!!! In addition, their Japan tour finished up with 13 concerts, AND they’re writing and recording for their new album. Their 10th Anniversary Tour concluded at Japan’s 17,000 seat Yokohama Arena on Nov. 26, 2023 and in Hong Kong Dec. 21!
The Maids are one of the hardest working super groups in the business! Their music, their sound, each of the Maids, and the love that permeates their live events is an experience not to be missed. Hope you can catch them LIVE!

Welcome to Band Maid. They are the best band going right now You can not go wrong with any of their songs. My favorite song is Moritorium. They are just as good live. Enjoy.
Thank you!! That’s awesome! Sounds amazing! Thanks again!! 😊🙌🏻🤘🏻
Some might say better live due to the energy from the give and take with the fans. We forget how amazing it is that their skill is so great that their live performances do no suffer. Playing is just as clean as a studio recording.
Band Maid is my favourite since almost 10 years. There is no such thing as a bad song from them. You will get more than you asked. Misa (bassist) have a special place in my heart.
That’s awesome!! So cool! 😊🙌🏻🤘🏻
Nice job! Really enjoyed your first experience with Band-Maid! Keep em coming!
Thank you!! I really appreciate it! Absolutely! You can definitely expect more! 😊🙌🏻🤘🏻

Greetings from Shizuoka under the benign care of Mount Fuji!
I have already read all the comments including the usual troll's!
Great start on the Japanese rock scene which is simply unfathomable. I already know more than 100 worthy bands but you started with the best of them!
Hold onto your eat for dear life and try and listen to Dawn by Asterism, Move Over by Glim Spanky, Te No Hira de Odoru by Sokoninaru, Homura + Akatsuki no Ito by Wagakki Band, Evolve by East of Eden, that is, if you can survive it!
Best regards,
Robert-Gilles Martineau
Sounds amazing!! I’ll definitely add those to my To Do list!! Thank you!!! I really appreciate it!! 😊🙌🏻🤘🏻🔥
@@gigixreacts Cheers, mate! You have plenty on your plate! LOL
Best regards,

😆😊🙌🏻🤘🏻
Another Madiac cherry popped 💪🏼🔥
😆😊🤘🏻
There's a reason people kept asking for Band_maid.
For real tho! 😧🙌🏻
If you are a drummer you need to Akane Hirosi's solo in Freedom live. Welcome to the Maidiacs club. about 70 or more songs official live on here. good luck NOT binging on these girls. btw Jimmy Page is a fan of Akane drumming and went to see them live and met her.
That’s amazing!! Thank you! Whoa! So cool! 😊🙌🏻🤘🏻
Welcome to the best band this short century (though I don’t think 72 more years is enough to find one better). You’ve only scratched the surface. Probably not even a top 40 Band-Maid track imho; that’s how spectacular they are.
I would suggest looking up “Band-Maid Hate live lollapalooza” and I promise you will not be disappointed, friend.😊
Haha that’s awesome! Sounds amazing! Thank you!! 😊🙌🏻🤘🏻
Welcome to BAND-MAID , Enjoy your journey down the Pigeon hole , The song Shambles is the closing song for anime Kengan Ashura , its an anime about fighters , MISA !!! MISA !!!

Thank you!! So excited! That’s amazing! Sounds amazing! Definitely gonna check it out!! 😊🙌🏻🤘🏻

Yes exactly " her voice" nice isn't it. Now BAND-MAID are the best rock band in the world and fortunately for you they have over 100 songs for you to discover including acoustic versions and other stuff. Now another all girl Japanese band is NEMOPHILA. They are punk metal although they have softer songs as well and they are renowned for their covers that are very popular. Start with Rise if you dare.
Absolutely! Awesome! I’m super excited to check out more! I’ve actually recently reacted to Nemophila for the first time with their song “Rise”! You can check it out here:

Who NEEDS this? "Reaction" video sucks. You all act the same and you all chase clout. Useless.
