Thank you all the amazing info in the comments. I had no clue reaction videos would introduce me to so many awesome fans of these groups
My next Band-Maid reaction video is up! Freedom: ruclips.net/video/c-NyteqKLng/видео.html
You have no idea what journey you are about to embark down this Pigeon 🕊 Hole 🕳 The Band-Maidiacs or Maidiacs will help you with whatever information you will need.
This could be considered the introduction to BAND MAID song. You were impressed with their complexity (which is great!) the other songs are just as good!
PLAY - BLOOMING - REAL EXISTENCE - AFTER LIFE - ABOUT US (a song for us the fans!) - PLAY - BLOOMING - DICE - GIOVANNI (INSTRUMENTAL VERSION) - DON"T YOU TELL ME (Live version has a great Bass/Guitar solo) are all suggestions - none are bad. You keep listening and you will become a MAIDIAC like the rest of us!
Haha, you made the "mistake" of reacting to a Band-Maid song, you're gonna get swarmed by fans super passionate about them 😅Great video mate!
Now go see sokoninaru if you like incredible composition, tightness and blow away bass and drums. Two guys and a really hot female bassist. (accurate thumb tapping is her party piece) the lead guitarist is also a young god.
They have several good newish official music videos.ruclips.net/video/Ch3OWNEdkbE/видео.html
Try listening to Sense that’s the song that introduced me to them
Based on this reaction, I really look forward to more Band-Maid reactions from you. You are to be highly praised for rewinding back after commenting and pausing, (no Band-Maid fan will ever complain about that, lol) actually making efforts to listen to what is being played instead of simply talking over cool bits. It's SUPER frustrating to watch a reactor saying things like: "the bass player is amazing" while actually talking over an awesome little riff, and missing it! Auuugh!
I feel that!

Us Maidiacs have a saying for when Kanami is soloing “Shut up, Kanami is speaking” 😂. In truth, all five of these incredible musicians are speaking loud and clear with their talent via interesting compositions, arrangements, instrumentation, playing and performance at all times in everything they do - they are a very special collection of musicians and people and we are all very lucky to be alive during the era of Band Maid. To this old Beatles, Zeppelin, Yes, Floyd, and Rush fan, this is my favorite band on planet earth 🌍 today. Welcome to the Pigeon hole (we’ll explain later)!!
Next - “Manners and Black Hole” - official live video
Then dozens more great tracks and a catalog of 100+ killer tracks.
@@bobespirit2112 ruclips.net/video/MXplt6KzZlc/видео.html from the movie "Slap Shot" I thought this what the appropriate sentiment of what you were relaying.
@@DartJedi 😂😂😂…maybe, but in a nicer way 😂. Great movie 🍿👍🏻✌🏼🤘🏼
When they were huddled around the drummer they were making faces at her to try get her to mess up.
From time to time you meet reactors who really know how to listen... who analyze at different levels and not just launch set phrases... And most of those types of reactors recognize and value the musical, interpretative and compositional mastery of Band Maid ... Thank you very much for the reaction- I suggest the Play song, live!!
Thank you for the nice comment!
They are my favorite band for sure. Do I mind you rewinding and for me hearing that solo section of the 1000nt time? Not at all, so it is great that you took the video back after making comments. I look forward to your next Band Maid reaction.
I am very happy to have been directed in the direction of this group
Yep, as Jack Black says "Be kind, rewind" :)
Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。You are receiving tons of information about B-M who are one of best rock bands in Japan. We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". I believe the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Talking about hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since 1970s : Led Zeppelin / Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Deep Purple (1972), Queen (1975), Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick / Van Halen / Scorpions (1978), Judas Priest (1978/79) and so on. Now, any type of rock can be enjoyed here, especially by many all-female or women-fronted bands. They are daughters of American / European rock, for sure. (Many are grand-daughters in terms of age.)
Uh oh, we also say "Japan is the country obsessed by Jazz". It had started earlier than rock 😄
Thank you for this information and commenting!
Band Maid Info Dump
Band Maid was started in 2013 by Miku Kobato. At the time she had just left the Idol Group, Lil Cumin and she didn't like the type of music she had been performing. She approached her management agency with the idea of making an actual band playing rock music but dressed as maids. She had worked in a Maid Cafe and thought the image of maids playing rockin music would create what she called "The Gap" between what you see and what you hear. The Management company was like Ok, go ahead.
Miku then looked around and found Kanami a singer/songwriter who was posting her own videos on the internet. Miku contacted her and Kanami thought the idea was cool and agreed to join. Miku then asked if Kanami knew a drummer who might be interested. Kanami had worked with Akane in the past and literally walked over to Akane's apartment and asked her. Akane was actually hesitant as she had worked in an "All Girl Group" before and didn't enjoy it as it wasn't the type of music she wanted to play. After hearing a Demo, Akane was like ok, but was still slightly hesitant because of the "Maid Outfits", but she agreed to give it a try. Akane was asked if she knew a bass player and she had gone to Tokyo School of Music with MISA and had worked a couple of jobs with her. So Misa was contacted and after she heard a demo she was like I like the music, but she also was hesitant about the "Maid Outfits", but she relented and joined in as she really wanted to play the kind of music she heard in the demo.
Now we have the "Core" members. I'm not too sure about the part but if I am wrong other Maidiacs will correct me in the comments. The 4 members worked out some songs and a setlist and from my understanding, they had actually performed 2 or 3 times with just Miku on main vocals. I may be wrong on that so don't take that as canon. Miku after those performances felt that her voice wasn't powerful enough to really perform the songs she wanted. So she approached her management company again and asked if they had any singers who weren't in other projects.
Saiki was signed to the same management company and had done some work as a backup singer and dancer and was asked if she would be interested in auditioning for this new group which currently had 4 members and she would be the fifth. (I'm not sure about this part as I can't find the comment I read over on Reddit) She had been a member of a group with 8 other people and HATED it. So she listened to the demo and thought "Cool" because she liked the music.
Now we come to the tricky part. Miku KNEW that if Saiki was told about the "Maid Outfits" she would say NO WAY!, so they didn't tell her. They told her they would have "Cool Clothes", and she never met Miku until a few days before they had a contracted performance. She wasn't told about the "Maid Outfits" until I believe it was 2 days before the performance, and she had considered backing out, but she had signed the contract.
So the Ladies, went and did the performance and Saiki really, REALLY liked the crowds reaction and the music they were performing. She DIDN'T like the apron she wore so it got ditched after the first performance.
And you now have the beginnings of the BEST LIVE HARD ROCK BAND in the WORLD!
ALL HAIL BAND MAID!!!!!
Now that we have the Full band, it was felt that there needed to be a second guitar. Saiki was like, "Not Me, No Way." So Miku said, "I'll do it.", at first that was literally all she did, was hold the guitar and mime playing it, until Akane said, if you are going to hold it, you NEED to learn to play it. And Miku said, "Ok.", and Kanami started to teach Miku how to play. The Ladies released their first album in 2014 "Maid in Japan" which only charted to #26 in Japan.
Then in 2015 they released "New Beginning"
On New Beginning was the song that changed Band Maid's entire existence. "Thrill"...
The band was getting ready to release their first music video and the choice was between "Love, Passion, Matador" and "Thrill" and the ladies chose Thrill.
This became the seminal moment of Band Maid. Because their second album hadn't even charted, the record company was seriously considering disbanding the Ladies and switching them to other projects. (In fact they had Kanami and Akane work with Mochi to Cheese thinking that when Band Maid cratered they could use them in another band). However about 6 months after the video's release, a Facebook page "JRock Radio" posted the video to their timeline. And the video went viral. Having over a million views in just a few short weeks. The Ladies Twitter page got so many hits they thought their page had been hacked. Their RUclips channel also started getting more and more subscribers and views to Thrill.
Now the ladies knew where their fans wanted them to go. Harder Rock, less pop. And history was Maid.
Hello there, enjoyed the reaction! I always like to let reactors know that this was the 22nd song of a 23 song set and been on stage nearly two hours. The gather around the drummer to make faces at her to try and get her to laugh. If you want instrumentation in a live setting, you should check out their instrumental "Onset (Live)".
Oh wow that is impressive. Thanks for letting me know how long they had already been on. I hope to see them someday
@@DrumRollTonyReacts they're coming to the states in late October. Depending on where you are or your willingness to travel you can probably get tickets. Mostly through the evil Live Nation official resale though, since most of the shows are sold out.
I really like how you pay attention to the music, point out "the good stuff" that's happening , rewind it copule of times so even a laymen can understand and hear without going deeper into theory.
I'm a BM fan but I'd listen to any review/reaction you put out in hope I hear or learn something new. Subscrbed.
It is kind of impossible to find a good place to talk, because Band-Maid put so much details into their music that you will always miss some cool stuff. I love your style, so much respect to the music and artists. It is a rarity among the reactors on RUclips. The previous song that bled into this song is called Play, and it is also on their official channel. It is a great next song to react to, a lot of fun vibe there too.
I was wondering what I heard at the start. Thank you! I'm so glad I found out about this band.
Band-Maid is joy in the form of awesome rock
Interviewer: Where did you get the idea to use maid outfits?
“I used to work in a maid café! I would wear cute uniforms every day and entertain our customers, who we call masters and princesses. At the same time I was really into metal and rock music, and I thought how different the two worlds were. Here I am at work, singing super cute songs to a milkshake - it’s how we make them extra tasty - but on the way home I have my headphones in, blasting Maximum The Hormone. I thought that it would be cool to combine cute uniforms with cool music, so I set about recruiting the members of Band-Maid.”
Interviewer: Maid outfits aren’t exactly rock ‘n’ roll. What is your ultimate heavy metal costume?
“Now Band-Maid’s outfits are part of rock n roll, so we pick these!”
Interviewer: Why should people listen to Band-Maid?
“We’re not a pop idol group! Don’t judge us on how we look. We want to blow you away with our heavy rock sound.”
Interviewer: For those who don’t know about Band-Maid, what are you about?
MIKU: “Band-Maid’s concept is about creating contrast - how we look and how we sound are worlds apart. One is cute and submissive in nature, the other is wild, powerful and dominant. I thought that idea was interesting. Basically, we want to defy expectations.”
I just started listening to them last week. I heard the song 'Thrill' a year ago and I thought it was good. But then now that I dig into their music it's so much better than I ever imagined. I recommend 'Play' it's such a fun song. They have so many great songs.
I am excited to experience their catalog
Akane is not a drummer!
She is a virtuoso percussionist who chooses to PLAY the drums! Teamed up with MISA! the Barefoot Bass Assassin they would have to be the premier hard rock rhythm section in rock currently.
Good reaction, nice mix of comment and video and pertinent rewinds and you know wtf you're talking about.
Subscribed!
Cheers and thanks from Australia!
7:27 "There's a lot of cool stuff going on at the same time." You have no idea.
Just wait until you get to their newest stuff. And also a lot of their older stuff. Plus, all the inbetween stuff. OK, so all of it!
Buckle up and enjoy the ride. It's wild!
Band Maid is indeed infections, there is no cure, and you won't want one! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
Akane, happiest drummer in the world. She is so solid with her rhythm, its crazy. No lie, I admit I like her a lot for being cute, infectiously happy, and a drummer. Lite case of fanboying from the other side of the world. lol
"You want to be in the audience" - exactly what I was thinking when I discovered the band in 2018 and six months later, I was in the audience in Bochum, Germany ... and it was even better than expected.
I need to employ your tactics
Hi Doc.
A few months ago I went to Japan, and after seeing a concert there I decided on an impulse to go to a Band-Maid concert earlier this week. What I didn’t expect was to come out of the concert as a fan. Can’t stop thinking about it.
Congratulations you just found the best band on the planet 🤘🎎🤘🎎.
Something that you will discover about Band Maid as you go along is that they are a very versatile rock band. They cover just about every genre of rock from ballads to hard rock bordering on metal, they can be groovy, bluesy and jazzy or just plain crazy, there is something for every taste and it's one of the things that makes them so listenable. Oh and then they may throw acoustic versions of their songs at you that bring you to tears.
Thanks, I did like it a lot and so will all the Maidiacs around the world. All your comments were spot on from the get go- nothing had to be explained to you. As a musician you understood everything that was happening in front of you. Welcome to the beautiful world of Band Maid music. You're going to have such fun with this band, the charactors of it's members and their genre of music- groovy to metal with a hint of jazz, electric and acoustic- a fusion of rock styles. The drummer- Akane, does'nt particularly like to do drum solos but the song Freedom includes one- she and I use the same sticks- Wincent 5A, not as heavy as the usual Vic Firth rock sticks, but for me a better feal. Great reaction- more please- Official Live MV's- Real Existance, Play, Freedom. MV's- Manners, Warning.
This band seems very special. Excited to experience more of them
I have seen Hendrix, Black Sabbath, Led Zep , Kiss ,Deep Purple, Nightwish and finally i will get a chance to see Band-Maid twice !! These young ladies are one of the best bands around =)
Always enjoyable watching someone discover THE best Rock band on Earth. Especially when they appreciate the musicianship displayed by all the band members. Kanami's songwriting and compositional skills, Miku's lyrics, all band members' instrument playing levels and everyone's incredible stage presence. I've been seeing Rock bands live since the mid 70's and no-one (sorry Queen, Sabbath, Zeppelin, Floyd but it was a while ago) impresses me more than Band-Maid.
These ladies sure can put the 'stank' on their instruments! You're right, footage from this particular concert has the guitars a little to low in the mix. Shame really, when you look at some earlier live stuff it sounds perfect. Lets hope the next live release doesn't have this issue.
FYI, they weren't "huddling" on the drum riser during the song. They were playing a game of hengao to try and get the drummer to screw up.
That sounds fun. Can you explain what the game is?
@@DrumRollTonyReacts They were making funny faces trying to make each other mess up.
@@DrumRollTonyReacts hengao means making funny faces.
Oh I thought they was asking *Akane* where they going to eat after the concert since *Akane* knows all the best places to eat. 🍌
@@Vampiresavior Ohh got yeah. That is a standard thing to do with musicians. I have played that game many many times but never knew that name for it. Awesome!
I've been a fan of hard rock since the 1970s, but at the end of U2 I lost interest in music. I found BAND-MAID in COVIT-19's self-restraint life and regained my interest in music. The feeling of waiting for their new song has become the energy of life. The world is chaotic now. Music that enriches people's hearts and brings peace is now needed. I am impressed not only with their music, but also with their way of life.
Music is very powerful like that
@@DrumRollTonyReacts Band Maid is much more than music. It's also about friendship, believing in yourself and following your dreams. Their formation story alone is the stuff of legend. I'll have the privilege of seeing them live in October.
@@mr.bluebird6544 Where would I find the formation story?
Subscribed. The ladies of Band Maid are too talented and hard-working to have reactors gloss over their songs on a surface level. There’s too much technical brilliance packed into most of their songs to be taken in all at once without stopping and re-listening to big sections of the music. So, you gave them the attention they deserve, and gave us some good insights into the music we love so much.
Led Zeppelin, Yes, Pink Floyd, Rush, Band Maid. That’s my favorite 5, in no particular order. So Band Maid is in epic company in my eyes! Live videos to check out: “Freedom” (has a drum solo), “Manners/Black Hole”, “Onset”, “No God”, and “Choose Me”. Music videos: “Blooming”, “Rinne”, “Warning”, “Different” and “Dice”.
Fellow Seattle area resident and Band-Maid fan here. This is one of the best first reactions to Band-Maid I've seen out of literally hundreds. Subbed and looking forward to more. You're right. Band-Maid *IS* fun!
Heyyyy GO SEATTLE! I am glad you found me
They’re in Seattle October 12th.
@@powbobs Yeah and it's almost killing me that I already had travel booked out of the country when they announced the tour. Flight leaving October 12th. Sooooo close and yet so far.
Enough energy in that stage to light a small city. Good job!, thank you.
MADEfashionで!Hardrock、これぞJAPANカルチャー。よろしくね。
i love it when people can apreciate band-maid despite not knowing what they're saying,, i mean come on,not evrything is about western world and their english speaking song, there is so much great music out there, and i meet so many people despise band-maid just because they're not singing with their langguage..
love your reaction man,cant wait for another band-maid reaction..

This band is legit. On of my favorite bands to come along in a couple decades. Will be traveling to see them twice this Fall.
Also check out the Mexican band, The Warning. Girls rock!
Impressive reaction. You very quickly picked up on a lot of what makes Band-Maid great. I'll go out on a limb and say I'd like to see what you think of their song "Corallium". It's their latest release so it shows where they are now. I'd love to hear what you make of it.
I'm excited to check out that song
@@DrumRollTonyReacts There is no Corallium video, but the audio with an interesting (for Band-Maid fans) static image can be found on their channel. It is well worth the listen and reaction.
Great suggestion! I suggested Play (because it is a natural next reaction), but Corallium is really peak Band-Maid. My favorite song of Band-Maid at the moment.
Onset live for instrumental, freedom live for a killer drum solo.
Gonna see them live in October... highlight of my year maybe the decade for me
Onset by Band-Maid has everything you need from an instrumental track 👍
You were right about that! Loved that track
They're great musicians, but I'm always amazed at how engaging they are as performers.
Welcome to the fandom! Best rock band in the world right now! I suggest these Band Maid songs: Thrill, Dice, Manners, Bubble, No God (live) & Real Existence (live)
I just want to warn you that you have found a gateway in becoming a Maidiac. Be vewy careful or you'll find yourself wanting to react to their 100 plus songs.
HaHa! Yeah I think that might be true. I have come back to just this song many times a day. Avoiding other music of theirs on purpose for future vids!
Only concert i seen with lazers like that was the FIRM with paul rogers !!!!!!!
More recently the band has been putting out more of their instrumental stuff or it has been getting more play anyway. You will probably want to check that out being into that. I am sure everyone has already recommended "Onset". Love how it stopped you cold for a second, many of their songs do that to me at some point. Got into Band Maid about 5 years ago with some other Japanese bands. It has been a wonderful ride so for. I am glad that they are getting a lot of love with people reviewing their music. Band Maid might actually achieve World Domination.
They are such a great talent
Great to see a fellow enjoyer of the rhythm section. I'm a percussionist and recently started learning bass, so rhythm is in my bones. And I gotta say, Band-Maid has one of the best rhythm sections in the world. I just discovered them last year and they quickly became my favorite band. Can't wait to see them live in Dallas this October!
Bass and percussion go together very well 🤝
Congratulations on finding Band Maid ! My favourite band !! There is always plenty going on in a Band Maid song, it is what sets them apart from other bands. A natural progression for you now would be to react to 'Freedom' the official live from the same concert. Enjoy !!
The best live rock band in the world....and bow down in the sacred presence of TinyHat-san.
Ty for checking Band Maid . They will not disappoint .
Seeing them in Dallas ...
Band-Maid is one of favourite bands to listen to daily
Blooming, Puzzle, Unfair Game, Daydreaming, Anemone, the list is endless.
Thank you for reacting to Band-Maid.
Yes, the rhythm section in this band is outstanding. MISA on bass, Akane on drums, Miku Kobato on rhythm guitar.
Everybody is talking about pigeons; Miku Kobato is her stage name; in Japanese script it is 小鳩 ミク
小 | small
鳩 | pigeon
Thanks for the script!
Going to see them at House of Blues San Diego in October. I' hyped! Can't wait. My daughter bought me the tickets!
That is going to be awesome
I really enjoy your style of reacting.. going back and highlighting key parts is awesome, IMO.. they'll be in concert at the Neptune Theatre in Seattle on Oct. 12, 2022.. show sold out in minutes, but you might get lucky.. for songs that highlight the drummer Akane, I would suggest 'Freedom' Live, 'Blooming' MV and 'Warning' MV.. new sub here...
They are coming here?? Um wow I am going to have to see if I have any strings to pull in the city. Sheeeesh! Thanks for letting me know they are coming
Great reaction. I became a Maidiac a couple years ago. Looking forward to seeing them in Houston and NYC this fall. They are a hard rock band with elements of metal, grunge, pop. Tracks like the instrumental Onset are classical in scope. The music book for their latest album is intricate. So much going on in layers. The more I listen the more I hear. I subscribed to you in the hope to enjoy your journey of exploration. There is an edginess in the live videos that speak to the exciting audience participation so necessary in music. These girls brought this 72 year old musician back to music. You may enjoy the entry level tracks live, Freedom, Onset, Dice. Everyone loves the drum solo in Freedom but listen carefully at the end as the drums hand off to the guitar. Call and return within the band meanwhile the bass providing the heartbeat. As someone mentioned these girls are the real thing. Oh the girls crowding around the drum…it is apparently a game they play making funny faces at the drummer to trying to crack her up and get her off the beat. It’s all fun. This is a very generous group, plenty of videos on their web site. Rich clues for musicians. Best wishes. Enjoy.
What instrument is your main?
@@DrumRollTonyReacts Guitar and lyrics
welcome to my favorite band in the world. :)
I have a question though, how did you come to Band-Maid? usually someone recommends it to someone, and they try it out, but nothing was mentioned, so I was curious. loved the analysis by the way.
I freakin' LOVE watching people discover Band-Maid.
Stop apologizing for paying less attention to the vocals--"vocal coaches" are MUCH more common in the reaction community than instrumentalists, it's refreshing to hear the focus on the latter.
Even though this was your first Band-Maid experience, but I also know that by now you've recorded several more (I've already watched most, and will get to all eventually). I think that by now you're ready to venture into the past, to their first viral video: Thrill (there's a very recent live version as well, but I'm specifically recommending the older MV, so you can have a look at from whence they've come).
I can make a BUNCH of other recommendations, too (not all of them Band-Maid ;) but I'll leave it at that for now.
Thanks! If you are on Discord it would be great if joined mine. I have a reaction recommendation section that would make this smoother! 👀
They have so many good songs. A new album on the way. The last was a 10 out of 10 for me. Welcome And enjoy The ride
Tony, thank you for your comments and reaction to what a growing number of us calling a new up and coming hard rock band. Thank goodness too - after everything that has been happening in the world we needed a lift and a smile. Band-Maid is it.
To keep things short because others said plenty:
Rinne (music video) - metal song
Blooming (music video) - quite fast bpm pop rock
Secret My Lips (live) / Secret Maiko Lips (music video) - double header - 1st one is original song, 2nd one is remixed with traditional Japanese instruments
Gion-Cho (music video) - song about Geisha in Kyoto, mixed in traditional instruments
Freedom (live) - drum solo
Onset (live) - instrumental only (pee break song for singer)
Daydreaming (music video) - slow ballad
There's a ton more, but those can get you started.
hell yeah! More Band-Maid!
Welcome home! 🤗
You have an awesome journey ahead of you! 😊
sheeeesh, that bass-girl has no rest! so as the other girls, though, but yeyy
Welcome to the Wonderful World of Band-Maid Tony!
Thank you. I'm excited
Vocals are great in Daydreaming, Kanami solo, you can check Unfair Game or Anemone, very bluesy. Drummer solo check Freedom. Overall performance, Puzzle. Hard rock, Take me Higher. My favourites are Matchless Gum and Unfair Game, B sides of Yolo single. I also live Honkai, Hibana. Recently, I went back to Clang. It’s always with Band Maid. After new album, Unseen world I went back to Freezer and Awkward. For cool production and fast tempo you may check Rinne. And many more.
The drummer was alright, good even but how awesome would she have been if she was wearing a tiny little hat Some rock legend might even want his picture taken with her
I see what you did there.
Welcome to the world that is Band Maid !
More Band Maid pleaseee
Coming soon for sure!
Fantastic band and fantastic video, I'll wait for more of this,
Real Existence live... they will melt your face off
MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃 Badass Bass Assassin. Band-Maid are the best Hard Rock band in the world right now. You should check out the official Live versions of Play, Onset, Freedom, Manners/Black Hole, Real Existence, After Life, Warning and Choose Me just to get you started. Then you can react to the hard to find official Live links to Don't You Tell Me, Moratorium, Take Me Higher, Turn Me On and Puzzle (both electric and acoustic versions) I'm sure one of the Band-Maidiacs or Maidiacs can help you with those links 🤙🏼
Thank you much for the suggestions!
@@DrumRollTonyReacts no worries. I'm looking forward to your reactions. Have fun
Welcome to RUclips. If you want live and want the only drum solo over 20 seconds, check out Freedom Live.
At first you laughed, like it was a joke...they are not a joke now you can see that...🐌
Yeah I was loling at my previous pondering about the wording maid and that got answered real quick
@@DrumRollTonyReacts They did stylize the name for the first few years with the "registered trademark" symbol at the end as a joking nod to the Band-Aid brand.
Good ear on the guitar interplay! Miku didn't play guitar at all when she founded the band; Kanami is her teacher and writes both guitar parts, so they're conceived of as a whole from the beginning of the writing process, rather than the usual thing of having one part as the song's foundation with the second being added after the fact.
Watch FREEDOM live for a nice drum solo. Watch ONSET live (instrumental) for more instrument exploration.
Great reaction! I highly suggest giving Onset by Band Maid a try. It is one of their instrumentals and really shows off the skills that they have on their instruments. Another great one to listen to would be their MV Blooming.
YES!!!!!!
MISA MISA MISA!
I also like this awesome bridge.
About Us, and Real Existence Live version . Live always best with these girls, abuot 65 or so upon here. These girls are addictive, but probably too late to warn you now.
You need to do Onset and you won't be distracted by vocals/lyrics/translation. Put your seatbelt on.
.
I'm a drummer 😎 and Band Maid is the real deal 🤘
Now that you a taste of the Japanese music scene, you should check out LoveBites play their song Holy War live. They're some of the best musicians I've seen, and I've been into metal and rock for over 50 years.
They publish beautifully produced full score books of recent music.
Kanami the lead and main composer starts with stave paper and then passes it to akane the drummer who also scores her part. Then gradually they put it together.
Three of them are classically trained to the highest level.
Some of their music is outrageously complex others more bluesy but still full of incredible ideas.
Try the manners /Black hole double header.
If you like instrumentalists, you HAVE to check out "Onset". It is the best rock instrumental I have heard in almost 60 years and their efforts are flawless. Kanami, the lead guitarist, is also the composer of virtually all of their music after their second album and the rythym guitarist, Miku, is the lyricist. She is also the band's founder and alpha dog. Misa is a bassist that ranks up there with the best, like Asa from Wagakki Band and Boh from the Kami Band. Akane is an amazing drummer, and after seeing them play live in Tokyo, Jimmy Page went backstage to meet Akane and called her the reincarnation of John Bonham. Saiki, the lead vocalist, has one of the finest rock voices in the world and can handle the crowd like a master. You have to check out all their official live music videos. I can't wait until I see them in NYC on October 28th on their American Tour.
Boom! You NAILED it! "FUN" is what bands like BAND-MAID and The Warning are bringing back to hard rock!
You can’t miss with Bandmaid b/c Kanami (lead guitar) is a fantastic songwriter.
I suggest Onset (greasy riff prog instrumental), No God (pop punk), Rinne (metal), Real Existence (GNR), and Manners/Black Hole live (2 songs-70s Aerosmith followed by prog speed metal at 220 BPM). No cap, they really can play all of that.
Here is Akane's drum part stripped out of "Sense" their single from late last year.

Welcome to the Maidiacs, Tony! Believe it or not, that's just the tip of the huge iceberg of musical greatness from this incredible group of ladies and the more you hear from them, the more you'll love 'em! Some suggestions: Freedom is a MUST for your next BM reaction, because of the AWESOME drum solo by Akane!
Others: Play, Onset (instrumental), Real Existence, Turn Me On, Moratorium, Don't You Tell Me, Puzzle - all Live, because that's when they really shine. Thanks! 🤘🤩🤘
🔥BAND-MAID🔥 is THE sh*t. These ladies have it down. When I say it, I mean songwriting, musicianship, vocals and charisma. Everything about them is a 97 on a 10 pt scale. Nothing else quite like them. I❤💙MAIDs💕
You know what Patron, i'm beginning to think you like BAND-MAID.😏
🥃🥃🥃🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Just so you know...they released a single around December that includes 2 other songs, (they were commissioned to do an anime song.)
This year 2022 they will tour again and they have already announced an EP.
Their earliest name was actually stylized as BAND-MAID®, which is a direct parody of BAND-AID®
They later dropped the ® mark in 2016, presumably to be a little more serious
more bandmaid Stuff PLEASE
100% I am really looking forward to doing more
So, this is BAND-MAID dialed in to about a 6 or 7. I don't know if you wanna jump into the deep end but their latest album "Unseen World" is VERY different and much more experimental in many ways. There's a few songs in there where they crank it up to 11 and you see what they can really do.
Freedom for an amazing solo from Akane. Also if you want to see some serious bad ass drum work from Akana, she does a cover of Maximum The Hormone (another Japanese band you should check out. ruclips.net/video/KPgMD-nPITQ/видео.html
The two guitarists are tiny dynamite...lead guitarist Kanami is 5'1 and rhythm guitarist Miku is 5' tall.
Since you seem to specialize in drums you're going to (or at least you should) get a lot of recommendations for 'Freedom' live. Most of the time official live performances are the way to go with Band-Maid. Just pick any of the vids on their YT channel. You can also listen to two of their entire studio albums on playlists there. Welcome, budding Maidiac!
The rest of the band makes Hengao faces at the drummer, trying to throw her off tempo. It never works.
LOL yeah I can't imagine she seems SO solid. Still fun tho. I love it!
You should reacting freedom live there akane gone wild on drum solo,,Welcome to BAND MAID WORLD,,you just listening 1 of 100+ of band maid song,,
Great first reaction, Tony! I think you'll find that it's very common if not the norm that Band-Maid tends to attract instrumentalists. I would not be surprised if 90% of its audience plays music. So, overlooking the vocalist(s), I consider that par for the course, and I've done that myself so many times.
Misa, the barefoot assassin on bass. That girl can play
Yes, it is a play on BAND-AID. They consider themselves to be Hard Rock, but are genre-less. They have many influences; Power Pop Rock, Punk Funk, Jazz and Metal, and shapeshift seamlessly sometimes within the same song, and every song is different. Since you're a drummer I suggest doing 'Freedom' LIVE next. It has a drum solo. Your mic is so boomy. You should turn them up and you down. Actually they aren't uniting with Akane on the drums. They're making faces at her during the hard part to make her laugh and see if the screws up. Not a chance! She is The Beast! But they're all virtuosos. Both Akane and MISA on bass are graduates of the Tokyo School Of Music. Kanami (lead guitar) had played with them before this band.
Thanks. I'm looking forward to that song. The mix I was hearing between myself and them was perfect. Found out that the export levels were NOT perfect. I fixed the balance levels in OBS after this reaction video. As far as my mic goes it's a Rode NT1-A and I use it with proximity effect as I speak close to it. That's my preferred style for streaming and voice content. Have a good one
Really only way to take them in is to listen s song two or three times to get a feel for how it progresses. Then go back and listen to each instrument, mentally isolating them as best you can. The depth and complexity is mind numbing. If you ever get the chance to listen to the latest album (Unseen World) with the vocals removed that will REALLY blow you away. It was available with the TAB score book. So much is hidden under the vocals.
That's the way to approach music in general 👏 🤟
