I appreciate how you're able to break down the songs in a way that explains *why* I have such a visceral (positive) reaction to their music. I've been following them for five years (since I first saw "Thrill" in 2015), and while I *know* they're special, as a non-musician, I have often found myself unable to express *how* they're special. Thank you. And I'm really glad you're enjoying them, not just as an "oddity from Japan" but as the world-class musicians and songwriters (and performers) they are.
exactly this.
I'm LOOOOVING them. Thank you for supporting and taking the time to write these kind words.
Don't worry. I have musical training and I don't understand what they do. If I can describe what they technically do in the instruments and in the composition. But this result is completely beyond my understanding. They play very beautiful, is the only thing I can say. Nothing more, no less.
Also he doesn’t do ratings. So like he breaks it down really well, and in a smart way but doesn’t do some weird ratings system. I never understood why people would rate art. It’s weird. So like that’s also a cool thing about him :).
I have a little musical knowledge and training but huge amounts go straight over my head until Chase points it out to me and then it's obvious and I can't believe I didn't hear it in the first place.
Really appreciate your analysis because, for the less musically inclined like me, it helps me appreciate their songs even more as I tend to miss the little intricacies and magic of their songwriting. Thank you very much! :)
Thank you very much for watching and supporting.
"Bandmaid are very important for rock music evolution." . . .your words will be remembered again in the future for sure. 👊
Yes, yes, yes....a man who understands.
Nice to have a sound engineer who gives the bass its due, letting it shine.
If I ever get stuck in Groundhog Day, I hope I'm at a Band-Maid concert!
This version destroys the studio version entirely because of Saiki’s maturing vocal talent.
Went back and listened to the studio version. It seems a lot heavier and driving. This live version seems more light and airy and laid back and happy.
@@dennisueland8146 Personally, I do like the "yodel" in the Studio version a little bit more. Was a skosh punchier, IMO. But otherwise, as usual.. their live stuff just kills....
Maybe they just need to record their studio albums live, lol.
Her polyp throat surgery is paying dividends bigtime. She has perfected an even better falsetto and that growl is more pronounced than ever. And it is more than just the quality of her voice. She has a distinctive phrasing and delivery all her own. It has been a joy to watch this band improve steadily over time.
I m curious about the live version because it s difficult to sing. As usual (for me) Saiki',s voice is better in live. And she looks so happy good work ladies👏👏👏🤘🤘
@@dennisueland8146 Nice differentiation. Both versions are great in their own way, and I find myself shifting back and forth between the two.
Great insight.
Jazzy, funky, bluesy, punky, poppy, classic, metal
Hard rock bands that are so all-round are rare.
Please continue to support their magnificent experiments.
It's one thing to have the genius of Kanami's compositions and Miku's lyrical talent and vocal arrangements, it's another thing to have a band that can actually pull it off once it's written. Band-Maid has both.
Great statement right off!
Band-Maid ... it's becoming my fav band of all time. On top of really big, I mean, BIG bands...!!
Rush 2.0, looking forward to decades more of excellence.
@@matthewkolb1694 Band Maid sounds nothing like RUSH, yet they have so much in common with them in all the best ways.
I like to say Kiss & RUSH had Japanese babies...😂🎶💖
They really are pretty amazing.
@@snowdog5895 Perhaps the offspring of Rush and the Runaways? They were label mates (Mercury Records) and toured together after all. Still would not explain them being Japanese though.
I came across one of your videos while I was scrolling down some Band maid videos. I not a musician or anything, actually musically illiterate, but hearing your comments and observations make me understand and pick up on those details when listening to the songs again, and it makes me enjoy it even more, if that's possible. You have a great channel and in my humble opinion the best one for reactions! Keep up the great work!!
They are the most beautiful amazing band on the planet. They are so talented, their songs are amazing and they are absolutely fearless and unafraid to mix genres and change it up. These girls have awakened this 68 year old jazz prog fusion drummers love for music. My first musical love was the Beatles and these girls are that world changing. Akane & Misa are one of the most amazingly talented, inventive and intuitive rhythm sections ever to walk the face of this planet
Progressive rock BAND-MAID style. Saiki's vocals, just *wonderful* . In my opinion MISA plays nearly lead here at some times. A progressive grooving even funky one. Akane perfectly shaping the song from soft to ecstatic. Again a song that got even better live. Great reaction as always. Rock On!
Misa's style of playing in the band has always been that of counter-melody, second lead guitar. Part of it was from back at the beginning when Miku didn't know how to play guitar yet and Misa had to fill in a lot more of the sound. Now that Miku is a competent rhythm player, Misa still does what she does, but there's a much fuller sound coming at you.
@@armynurseboy You're right, and I know all this. I tend to write comments that are much too long, so I shorten them a lot. I don't like a wall of text. Sometimes the context and or more explanations get lost this way. You put it all in. Thanks.
Chase, you too have a very special talent: that is for explaining music in laymen's terms so that non-musicians such as myself can understand clearly what has been done in the construction of a song. I've heard many of the songs you've reacted to countless numbers of times, yet I listen to your analysis then go back and listen again and hear them with completely 'new' ears. I would love to see you react to some older classics for this very reason, although the chances are you've already heard them!
This honestly means the world. I'm really glad you're enjoying them and finding them useful. Appreciate you taking the time to write this.
Saiki's vocals are all over the place in this song and her high notes are so damn insane. A very unique song in their repertoire performed incredibly well, paired with another great reaction to match it!
I'm a simple person. I see a Chase Carneson video, I click and I watch and I enjoy.
❤️🙌👌
@@ChaseCarneson Glad that you're loving your J-rock/metal journey with BABYMETAL and Band-maid. If you wanna go deeper into that hole, then I suggest checking out Maximum the Hormone! My personal favorite of theirs is Yoshu Fukushu
I'm sure the girls of Bandmaid will be very much honored by your analysis. Also I see in your future a meal AND new shoes, lol!
Their approval would be wonderful. Also, a pizza and some new Jordan 1s wouldn't hurt haha
Saiki loves Jordans.
Slower than much of their stuff, but it certainly grows on you fast. One thing that makes them different from many bands is that they all seem to really like working together - happiest band in the world.
thats one of my favorite things about this band, organic chemistry between the members. you check out their twitter/instagrams and theyre constantly hanging out with each other or even one stream where Misa gave Akane lessons on the bass lol
Its funny cause they once said that if they were classmates in a school, they would never be friends lmao
The groove in this one is something damn fierce, I likes a lot
Nice huh?
I think you are right. It is not only the very good musician skills, but especially with their unique style and songwriting their friendship and they give each other credits to shine. Did you know that Miku is a very good Lyric writer who appeals to many Japanese people she even performed solo for television at least 10 movies on youtube . Kanami, the songwriter, started playing piano from the age of 4 , later she wanted in a band but her parents said that she had to finish her studies first and she has and has a university degree in economics while also studying psychology. Saiki accompanied her mother when she was very young to Karaoke bars to sing for the rest of the bar. Akane was during her studie a drummer in a Jazz band in the evening and Misa had some bands ad least 2 before Band-Maid.
Akane is also an active DJ! She and Misa plays piano as well.
I love Band-Maid already, but the way you pick out and highlight the amazing nuances of their songs, especially the live performances, helps me appreciate them on an even higher level. Keep up the amazing work.
I've been a huge Band-Maid fan since New Beginning in '15 and I couldn't imagine appreciating their music anymore then I already do. Then I binge watched your reactions and realized just how many small details I had missed (even after listening to all these songs probably hundreds of times).
I appreciate your break downs and you've just earned yourself another sub! Keep up the great reviews!
Welcome to the team and thank you for the support.
Welcome to the team and thank you for the support.
Great video! Your commentary is making me enjoy Band-Maid on a whole different level. It's really enjoyable to try and pick out the things you say and it makes me appreciate just how special these ladies are. Thank you!!!
Waited the entire day for your reaction to this gem. Thank you very much!
There are not enough words to express how good every single member of B-M is.
Can't wait for your next Band-Maid reaction.
Saiki had surgery on her vocal cords a few years back and has been really improving as a singer ever since. It's very apparent when you listen to lives from a couple of years or even a year ago, versus the most recent ones. Already immediately after the surgery you could hear the difference, but I guess it took some time after it for her to recover & really reach the full capabilities of her voice, and now that she has she uses falsetto and rasp in her singing a lot more than she used to. Before the surgery, even when talking her voice was completely different. It's crazy to go back to old interviews and hear how husky her voice was.
One of the gem of their new album. So glad they upload this one so everybody can appreciate how good this song. Great reaction Chase.
To me this song's chorus is like an old Japanese folk song, over which the band has waived their magic wand - to become yet another example of Band-Maid awesomeness.
I'm happy to find another Kevin Band Maid fan...Cheers!!....
If I hadn't previously subscribed, I would do it instantly now! Because you express with words what I feel since I discovered this amazing band. They're important for the future, for the evolution of our favorite music. I'm not even sure they realize it.
Hi Chase. I love the way you point out things in a performance that otherwise might be easy to miss. There's a Japanese proverb that says " Sleeping people can't fall down". Well it's about time those people woke up & took notice. BAND-MAID's quest for 'world domination' is happening & it continues at Budokan 2021.
Such a beautiful voice, can’t believe back in 2016 Saiki had throat surgery.
I think it was in 2017 - wisteriafield2019.hatenablog.com/entry/2020/05/06/184639?_ga=2.140201333.73619967.1588758279-1420402350.1588574733
From the Choose me section:
Saiki: Can you tell me why it was the summer of 2017?
All: ?????
Saiki: It's because I had an operation just at the time.
All: (laughing)
Kanami: Ah. That's so.
Miku: You had an operation on your throat, po.
From the Wonderland section:
Kanami: Sai-chan's falsetto is beautiful.
Miku: Sai-chan's falsetto became possible after the operation on your throat, po.
Saiki: Well, that's so.
Miku: Until then, you couldn't do it.
Saiki: Because the phlegm had obstructed my throat. Like 'Ga-ra-ga-ra.'
Miku: Some time ago, Sai-chan asked me, 'How to do falsetto?' po.
Saiki: I said, 'I can't do that, because the phlegm obstructs my throat.'
@@glenkelley6799 Thank you for this!
This reaction/discussion about this song just made my day! Thank you!🙂
Thank you for watching.
the ladies themselves would be astonished at your preternatural knack for expertly & artfully dissecting what their disciplined genius had crafted to perfection for their genre's posterity.
I really would hope so. They're magical and really glad I get to talk through their music with you all.
Chase thank you. Your enthusiasm and appreciation of their obvious talent rings loud and clear. And there are a number of us that are with you ringing that bell for these ladies - WOW!!!
I was waiting for your reaction video... I have NO CLUE about music, but you educate me there and it shows me what exactly is unique about Band Maid and why i love them so much...
I just heard DnB for over a decade, because there was no ROCK or METAL that suited me and Band Maid brought me back into it. I got all albums now, i am excited to watch the online concert and can´t wait to see them LIVE! Great band, great reaction and thank you for your videos, you know what you are talking about!
Really love that you're enjoying them and finding them helpful. Thank you for the support.
your comments are genius, as ever,,as a very mediocre guitarist you put into words what i cant describe,,these girls have been my fave band for a few years and its very hard to describe why lol
I’m in love with the Thunder Goddess ⚡️Akane⚡️
Max Bright just curious how did the gorilla thing come about? I see it in the comment section but don’t know where it originated
Konami is the Thoumas of BM and writes everthing apart from the lyrics and I love it when she "Glazes" over every now and then when she hears what she composed and what her friends are playing. Perfect example tailend of this perf ... Beauty 🤘
You are absolutely right that they are an important band! Whether the Rest of the world will realize it while they are still around or not is the question. There is no doubt in my mind that they will be recognized at some point, but I hope that is when they are still active, so they can be properly appreciated. There are quite a few songs on Conqueror, along with Wonderland, that are really, really smart. Of course you have to be able to play it, which they can. The writing and arranging is just masterful and still very much Band-Maid. On Conqueror you can here the maturity in their playing, writing and lyrics. They are still growing, which in itself is quite an accomplishment And I'll bet you they have quite a few new ones already in the pipeline, what with C19 sidelining them for what looks like maybe a year.
Now when I see a new BANDMAID video and get excited, I get equally as excited to hear Chase talk about it. The gift that keeps on giving :)
Aaaah you're too kind. Glad you enjoyed.
My man is back for Band-Maid analysis. Love it. 🤘🤘🤘
Their individual parts interweave with such complexity that it is really hard to separate them.
This one always gives me chills. Saiki really knocks it out of the park.
It turned me into a band liver, before it was just Misa and Arkane
EVERYONE .. .BTW for all those into BANDMAID ...On JULY 23, 2020 (NEXT WEEK) BANDMAID is having a ONLINE CONCERT at 4pm JST (Japan Time) which is 3am EST here (use an converter online for your time).

Band-Maid Live Crowdless Live Streaming concert Thursday, July 23rd starting at 4:00 p.m (JST). Tickets went on sale today. bandmaid.tokyo/contents/329014
The haircut looks good. And you've persuaded me to listen to Band Maid. I always struggle with not understanding lyrics, but you gave me a complete new insight in listening music. Just love your channel.
(Btw time to promote your patreon? )
Glad you gave them a chance. Yeah might be. Never want it to feel forced or something people "have to do" but it's there if you feel like you can.
Some languages sound pleasant, and others errr don't. IMO Japanese definitely belongs to the former, especially to a European ear. Besides an interest in the culture, I also started learning Japanese simply because I loved the sound.
Can't afford to support anyone right now. But I DO watch Chase's vids twice. The 2nd time I disable my ad blocker and let the ads run through (YT doesn't pay if you skip)
7:50 this is why I love your reactions. Maybe because it’s so quick but I never noticed that change but dammit now I love the song even more.
nice analysis. How on earth they composed a song like this? Every layer of instrument and vocal is amazing. That is musically genius
Skill, knowledge, hard work behind the scenes and enjoying what you do is a powerful combination-applies equally to five young ladies from Japan and one youngish reviewer with a dapper new haircut!
New BAND-MAID upload✅
New reaction by Chase✅
Nice fresh haircut✅
What a wonderfull day😃 Your commentary and breakdowns gives us plebs so much insight & joy, which makes us appreciate the Bands even more. Keep up the good work.👍
You're the best! Appreciate this.
Excellent work Mr. Chase, what a great dissection. I had the feeling that you would love this one. The intricate way of composing it by adding delicate and detailed musical layers shows an immense love for the Music and a job well done. This is ethic. These ladies may be more or less succeed in inspiration when it comes to composing, but they are unbeatable working hard to polish their music and obtain a quality result. Progressive Rock had long since disappeared from the map. It is time to bring it back.
Sooooo glad you enjoyed it!
I never get tired of hearing that opening guitar melody. One of the coolest, most beautiful thing I've ever heard.
Evolution is exactly the right word, you nailed it. Each album they make is different from the previous ones. They keep growing and experimenting, which takes not only creativity but courage. Most of them have jazz in their background, but it wasn't as evident in their earlier work. Now it's right out there, which I just love. And that spot where Akane is doing the rimshots--it's a Samba beat!
I agree 100%. They are important, abd will be influential They may never get the commercial success that they deserve, but musicians know and are listening!! Main stream audiences may not hear them, but they will hear their influence on other musicians and bands.
Watch the documents at the end of the Shibuya concert backstage, and seeing how the band was so joyed to the fan reaction to the concert at that location next year. I want to see them in this type of venue in Texas. They really deserve it.
Then look at the Gringopablo post earlier today That does not help.
Came in pressing the like. 👌
You deserve it Chase, Band Maid even more.
Can we have some Blind Guardian one of these days? 🔥🙌😉
That would be great, I've thought that often, but I have no idea what video to suggest. Hansi is one of those conundrum talents. His voice, for me, is the heart of BG yet he's not the greatest live singer. I don't think, especially in 2020, that he can do a concert with that full vocal roar that makes him so special. (Even saying that, he's such a better technique singer now than he used to be.)
There's the live version of Bard's Song, but that's mostly the crowd. Their music videos are story driven, which can take away from the music. I'd almost rather Chase do a song without a video, with just the album art. Sadly Sings Destiny would be awesome but it's long.
How about Sacred Worlds from Rockpalast 2016? Hansi even gets up high for this one, and they play with the full orchestral backing track so the full experience is there. Rockpalast published this back on March 22, which was very nice of them. I'd suggest starting at 1hr 9m 56s, because the official time stamps are a little too on the nose I think. ruclips.net/video/YlwMmeSpSfU/видео.html It's about a 9m song.
@@crabuki1273 For a start, I have already recomended the official live version of Mirror, Mirror. It shows off the folk/medieval music influences wich the band pioneered and gives an idea of Hansi as a singer. Shall do it again: ruclips.net/video/SVg8eP7KPNQ/видео.html
The full video from Wacken, with The Bard's Song and Valhalla, is probably the best calling card. Might be doable, Chase interrupts often enough that it shouldn't be blocked...
Shall we push for Rhapsody, too?
@@luisnunes2010 We're kind of delving into history, aren't we? Some of the bedrock of power metal. BG, Rhapsody of Fire, can Helloween be far behind? Sure works for me. So much good music from the past from those bands.
Chase! I love how you have both Passion & the Technical Knowledge to be able to break down & take apart, the whole experience, that to a non-musician is like Harry Potter level Magic! Thank you so much for enhancing my Love for Band-Maid! Please don't ever stop!
I really appreciate that. Honestly means the world. Promise we're not stopping anytime soon.
More MISA the better in all honesty, also you can really hear a Santana influence in Kanami's playing in this one in my opinion. If you get a chance in between their new uploads, I would strongly recommend Daydreaming. It's something a little different, more along the lines of Wonderland in that its not full in the face rock, but it has Kanami's favourite solo in it.
On a side note, would you mind putting links to the original video in the description of your reactions? Helps people find more of the bands you react to :)
Love Daydreaming...one of my top 5 for sure!...
I just really appreciate the way you describe what they do and are doing, probably because it closely matches what I get out of their music, musicianship, and performances.... Thanks!
Don't forget to watch their online concert...😊😊😊
Another outstanding reaction! I love how they can go from really catchy to something like this, a very smartly composed number. You are right. They are an important band to the "evolution of this kind of music". They are five irreplaceable pillars.
This isn't just a reaction channel, it's a music appreciation channel.
I like this!!! Like, lots.
The technical insight is refreshing...educational.
Hell yes. Absolutely the most accurate statement I've seen today :). Really enjoy what you do Chase and how you do it!!
Totally agree
I like it when people can appreciate good songs regardless of whether heavy or not, riff-oriented or not. Your reactions always help me appreciate good songs even better. Thank you very much.
This revised version of the song live, has just propelled Band Maid light years ahead of the competition on the fusion-rock side eg Polka Dot Starfish, Tri-cot, , Elephant gun ? etc.
Why ?.....because their arrangement has excitement , power, maturity and clarity as well as all the complex layers.
AGAIN... Band Maid totally blows me away. Good Lord, how much better can they get.? Besides Chase here, do other people realise what is going on here ????
Once again, listening to your breakdown of their songs adds to my listening pleasure. The subtleties they display really generate a full sound not head in many bands today. Miku's rhythm guitar and backing vocals are so understated. She is the glue to make that full sound and deserves so much more credit than she often gets. Thank you once again po.
Do they make anyone else want to make music? I hear their music and I get happy and I just want to play. And trust me, I'm old and my musical skills peaked 30 years ago, but I just want to play after listening to them. Maybe it's Chase, too, though. Life everything else in life, music isn't magic, it's not miracles, and it's not solely based on some genetic talent. Maybe you can't be super top tier just through hard work, but if you put in the work and the study, you can get pretty close. Chase explains so much of the cogs, gears, and theory that goes into building a good song. It's like he's explaining the perspiration part - the part you can learn - while, for me, BAND-MAID provides the inspiration.
True words
I've always wanted to learn guitar but never made it a priority. Miku is definitely and inspiration to why I'm learning now. How she went from not knowing to now jamming with the band.
LOVE this comment. I'm just a fan like all of you guys. I'm really glad I get to explain some of the magic behind their hard work and music and even happier that you enjoy these reactions.
And on top of all that they are having fun.
Another brilliant reaction - it's great to get a better understanding and appreciation of what they are producing through your very interesting and informative analysis. I'm 59 today and this was a great start to it! Being such a Boomer, I got to see Zeppelin live in 79 and would now judge Bandmaid to be up there musically as a band - THE best Rock band on Earth right now, basically.
Hi Chase, from Tokyo. Thanx always, for reacting and supporting BAND-MAID❗ Hope you enjoy them❗Really enjoying your reaction. 😁🔥😁
I already appreciate Band Maid. But you sir always makes me appreciate them more with your analysis.
Thanks for adding your street cred to what a longer-term Maidiac like me knows intuitively but can't express as well as you do, mate! They are all so, so good at what they do individually, but as a band, they create musical magic. I really hope they reach their goal of "World Domination" - because they deserve it, and because as you say, they are very important for Rock.
Absolutely! I can't see them stopping anytime soon. They are just phenomenal.
Thank you for pointing out MISA...! She is a phenomenal Bassist! One of my favorite songs because of the elements you brought forward. I bought the DVD, when it came out and it is my favorite Concert because they are innovative and important. Coolest Reviewer, I ever heard. Thanks and have a Damn good day!
"Secret my lips" - ruclips.net/video/1Vuca7V-5Ec/видео.html
"YOLO" - ruclips.net/video/wKZbzcUdY1g/видео.html
Absolutely Monster Tracks.
Two great ones.
yes they are very important...I hope the world catches on...great job!!!
Uuuhhh, I like your haircut! Also I‘m so happy to see your channel growing. You really deserve it 💕
This song is a showcase of Misa's bass playing....but it's not up front...but it's impeccable work...Saiki hitting those hi notes is impressive...but the icing on the cake is the harmanoies between Saiki and Miku....both do great work
YOUR CHANCE TO SEE BAND-MAID LIVE!! Don't forget their online live, multi-camera concert happening July 23. Get tickets at their official website bandmaid.tokyo. Or go to zaiko.io/event/327811
The Mantra of Bando-Maid. Epico sensei! /,,/🎸😺👍🎌✌
Chase, I am so happy to have found your channel. Your analyses is musicaly spot on.The last time that I followed bands for what I considered important music, was in the late 60's and early 70's, YES , Led Zepplin, and Pink Floyd.
Gave me goosebumps on "they're very important for the evolution of this kind of music...we need to look after them"
.
.
.
Am just happy these talents carved out their space in the world of pop loop music culture
Good morning from greece kinda late to comment but i found about you yesterday.
Great reaction and analysis i also love that you love and appreciate music so much !!
Love this band and love your analyses!
Thank you for this. Glad you liked it.
Thanks for this reactions. You are gold, bro.
Glad you like them! Thank you for the support.
Check their Instagram, they will do an online live show in two weeks, it‘s 10-12 bucks to watch 😃
Wonderland is easily one of my favorite songs off conqueror, so i was extremely happy to see them upload the live version. Plus, when people do reactions on youtube, they do them to music videos or live videos, and so a lot of the best songs go unseen. Flying high, liberal, dilemma, catharsis are all such good songs off conqueror and i hope you do take the time to listen to them, even if not for a reaction. Looking forward to cross 🤘
And this is only the 3rd best slow song off their newest album :P. Be on the lookout for Catharsis especially.
Catharsis is considered slow??
Weili Ma
I know, Catharsis and Azure, to me, are the top sleepers along with Wonderland. They’re simply badass.💪🏻🤘🏻
@@bigbrutalbassbeer410 and funnily, Azure is... the one song on the album that comes off forgettable to me (not bad, just not noteworthy)...
Hmmm. Interesting, def a YMMV thing, it's in my top 3 songs, period, off Conqueror, with Bubble and Rinne.
@@bishopsteiner7134 Curious thing. I didn't like Azure at first sight and now cannot stop listening.
There are good song, and there are just the song that's just beautiful
great reaction like always
would like to see you react to "Marching on Versailles" or "See you in hell" from Ad Infinitum. (attempt 2)
Loved your commentary. You picked out some fantastic details. This is my favorite piece from _Conqueror._ While you're right to point out that everyone is working collaboratively, I feel that this piece in particular rests on Misa's back. Each instrument is riffing off the bass, it feels, and the interplay between bass and vocals deserves special attention.
I'm really looking forward to your next BAND-MAID analysis! I hope you'll also look at BAND-MAIKO soon. They're probably the only band who can come even close to BAND-MAID, which is probably why they never seem to be seen in the same venue together.
Akane is using a jazz move rimshot with the bead of the stick in constant contact with the head and the butt of the stick coming down on the rim... GREAT REVIEWS! Can't wait for the new tracks in the new year.
I just haven't gotten tired of their music. I've been listening to their last two releases, "World Domination" and "Conqueror" non-stop for the last week since first hearing them. I just love how you can almost always hear every instrument in their songs. Their mixing is so well done, and their lines are so groovy, as Bruce Campbell would say. Thank you Chase, for introducing them to me. Hope you get into some metal bands from Japan as well. I'd hands down recommend Galneryus.
What a great reaction again. You really have this unique ability to enhance my listening experience by pointing out what makes Band-Maid songs so unique. A unique competent reactor and a unique stunning band, what a match to me as a fan. I see your upload, I press like before listening already. You really should react to Blooming (MV) next. In my opinion their masterpiece from a composition standpoint. I would like to hear what you think about it. And the haircut looks great 👍
Wow, thank you! Blooming has to be next, that or cross. But it's coming soon I promise. Thank you for the support.
@@ChaseCarneson Blooming is sheer genius, just sayin.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for being one of the first reactors that helped me to fall in love with Band-Maid. I saw them live in Chicago 11/1/22 and it was the best show I have ever seen. Two things that you said in this reaction, at the end - they are special and they need to be protected. To see how the USA crowd received these ladies was something special to see. It was a perfect example of 2 thousand people rocking out to the max but at the same time showing complete respect to the artists and having the time of our lives. To see Akane crying during The Endless Story blew me away and it makes you realize even more how much this band connects with the music and their fans. If you have not seen it yet, watch for yourself the Akane focus chicago house of blues Endless Story you tube video. It will melt you in a good way. Cheers!!!
Aaaah this makes my day. Thank you so much for the kind words and I really appreciate the support. So glad you got to see them live.
Hi Chase, it's wonderful, how perfekt Saici and Miku are singing together!
Greetings from the Hamburglokation
Glad you enjoyed it!
Chase Carneson 👍🏻🤘🏻
they're having a live online show on july 23rd 💖💖
So, I just watched the lead-in... hit the "like" button.
NIIICE ONE Frank.
Chase! The way you react to Band-Maid is incredible! You get it!! Most reactors listen t the music and never bring up what’s happening with each musician! Well done mate!!
I don't think there is any higher praise than "important."
THIS.
gonna need your breakdown of "Blooming" and "Secret My Lips" :)
This was a great reaction. For you to help me, a big fan of Band-Maid, appreciate their music even more is special. I can't wait to see the reaction to CROSS and many more. I was watching the CROSS video last night thinking which things I thought you would draw our attention to, so I am curious if I will be correct about them. Also can't wait for you to get to Moratorium and Don't You Tell Me live if possible, as well as the music videos for Blooming and Bubble. I always set aside 15 or so minutes to watch your daily reactions regardless of the song.
We're gonna get to them all. I'm sure you might even teach me about a few things when it comes to Cross. Can't wait.
agreed on importance of this group. i've been into music since early 80's, heard it all, so to say. from jazz, classic, rock derivatives, electronic, everything. in these cca. 40 years, only Mozart remained constant. but until B/M, there was not a single band or composer, that i would agree with completely. most bands have one, two, rarely three songs standing out, rest is usually filler. with band maid, from about a hundred songs, one is a little weak (from their first album) and one song from the last edition (a collab with mr. visconti, that sounds overly forced, pressured, also badly mixed), everything else is pure gold. i know exactly, what you mean, when you say, this music makes you happy. for about two years now, i don't care much about any other stuff...
Hello again.....The groove Misa and Akani create right after the opening vocal section is such a jazzy grove...I absolutely luv it. I heard Misa
do a lot of jazz sound in other songs but Amani's drum style was completely unique to on this song. Add in Kanami''s tasteful guitar licks and like you said...another hit !!!!!!!
they're also important from a cultural standpoint as well, especially when everything asian in the west is k-pop, which is obviously designed for the lowest common denominator and mass appeal so it comes off as soulless. japan is really having a musical renaissance.
