I feel like there needs to be more rapping from Saiki. Her voice really fits the flow and I think it would be awesome to hear more.

Band Maid making everything hunky dory since 2013.
And they don't dilly dally doing it.
@@saikisfang9339oh yeah.
Saiki's singing is sometimes confused with rap, so it's understandable that it could be defined as "the patter song." The reason for this is that Japanese syllables are fundamentally different from English.
Japanese is monosyllable with a vowel in each sound, so I think it sounds different to English-speaking people. However, for Japanese people, the singing is just a little fast-paced.
There's a great part in the "Making of Influencer" where Kanami (who's afraid of heights) is looking down far below to the camera & waves & says "Hey, hi it's me. I'm so high but i'm fine" :)
Gary I thought it was really kind of you to offer yourself as a human safety net to Kanami, what a guy 👍🍻
That's Kanami Gary - clueless, priceless and a genius!
❤
@@curtisrrobles7885 Curtis long time no hear, hope all is fantastic in your world 👍🍻
@@brunobryant4846 Bruno it's in my B-M contract Page 810.1😏
miku is genius for lyrics😍🤘
A great song…a paradox of a song. Miku penned some very clever lyrics. Saiki’s rap is great. Akane’s drumming is amazing. The song overall has a pop quality, yet it’s subtly virtuoso at the same time. I saw the Maids play it live in 2023 and they absolutely crushed it. It’s hard to predict what will happen in a Band Maid song as they often blindside you with an unexpected twist or two !
That final scream by Miku is epic...she holds that note forever.
Done Live as well 💪
8 bars is what I'm told!
@@waynebenedict5785 2 bars (measures), but 8 beats.
@@anthonypowell6234 Okay, my bad.
Absolutely love that part where Saiki and then Miku belt out "Surender Love!!" for 2 bars each. Amazing performance that took my breath away at that point in the song. Outstanding!
This song wins for best use of "Hunky Dory" in a song. Moratorium wins for best use of "Dilly Dally" in a song.
I'm 65 years old. Band Maid inspired me to start teaching myself guitar and bass. When I (try to) improvise on the bass, I ask myself "What would Misa do?".
Whiskey?
ooh that needs to be on a shirt!
*takes off shoes picks up a bottle of Jim Beam *
Misa got me starting to play bass also 😊
I bet MISA MISA MISA would get a kick out of the fact that she has old men kicking off their shoes picking up a bass with a bottle of Jim Beam nearby. Only us MAIDIACS!!!
I might sound odd but I see Saiki as almost another member of the rhythm section because of her vocal phrasing in many songs.
For myself, I like her singing in Japanese over English, she loses the rhythmic part of her vocals when sung in English. I think that's why I'm digging all the non-English music from Japan. All these new rhythmic patterns from the Japanese language. 🤘 Though her singing in English for Bestie is incredible.
@@jeffedwards9180 I've always preferred foreign films in their original language with subtitles too. I agree I like the Japanese parts more than the English although Miku does a very good job as far as phrasing in English too. I just think Saiki is like a rhythmic vocal piece that fits into various patterns like a jigsaw puzzle.
Finally another person saying this!
Thumb number 501! Hunky dory day!
Please never feel like you could “offend” a real Maidiac. I think it was “Blooming” as the example of Saiki’s rapid fire, percussive delivery. But here in “Influencer,” it’s clearly rap. And I actually like her style ❤
This is such a weird song. Another one that took me a long time to get the groove. In a live setting? This is one of my most favorites. So much fun to jump along with and cheer!
“Chit chat, chit chat,” Po 🕊️
It was a delight to see you struggle with the non-rap patter and straddling telling your informed opinion and saying was was expedient and more gentle. We all knew the rap was coming because we peeked ahead of time. Like at least a yr ago. You are my favorite BandMaid reactor - a bold statement since there must be 1000 of them. Wellbdone Princess NittPicc!
It's a hunky dory day!
We do indeed go wild for Band Maid Sunday. :) I'm so impressed with Kanami pulling through with that playing against their severe fear of heights. She said something about the playing allowing her to ignore the fear until she was done. They also powered through near 100 degree heat for the video. You can't tell by watching. They always seem to either record when it's freezing or melting.
I've been going wild since the first time you reacted to BAND-MAID & I haven't stopped yet.🤗
Wow, are we NittPicc fan-boying a little. Don't worry. Me too! 🪭🪈
@@TomClark-Futoura Is "Lottle" a word?🤔
@rogerchance9074 Gosh i've just got on line, i'll check it out. Well done Sir Roger.😁👍
@rogerchance9074 My replies are disappearing again.😔
ditto
I've grown to love this song after the first 3 or 4 listens. Especially starting from the rap to the end. Maybe it's just because they're Awesome! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Peace. 14.5
This is classic Band Maid doing Band Maid things!
Saiki creating a new singing style, Japanese Rock Rap? Who tries this? Band Maid does!
Who ever thought of using ‘hunky-dory-day’ in a hard rock song, which is a dorky way of saying ‘I’m having a great day’, maybe a little sarcastically. Band Maid Does and PULLS IT OFF!
Who gets a classic below the cliff shot of their bass guitarist hammering another classic solo inches from the edge? BAND MAID does!
And Kanami, who is afraid of heights, gets as close as she does and hammers out an epic guitar solo! I’m afraid of heights and if I get that close to the edge, the only thing I’m doing is peeing my pants.
Akane is just a beast through out the whole song…..Miku and Saiki vocals are classic!
Band Maid ….. just doing Band Maid things. I love them!❤
The live Yokohama version is indeed something to watch! The intro has Miku playing guitar! In the documentary Kanami states that was her most memorable moment, watching her disciple play solo
Miku wrote the lyrics for this one.
Miku is quite active on social media herself.
Miku likes to play with words and will sometimes put old-fashioned (or just plain odd) words into a song, this song probably being the most famous, but she did sneak "dilly-dally" into one of their "older" songs.
Filmed in an abandoned rock quarry in Ibaraki Prefecture on a 37C day.
TRIVIA: Kanami has a fear of heights.
Saiki is a well trained vocalist in general, but I think her strongest aspect is her senses of time and rhythm, and her understanding the use of vocal percussive dynamics. That makes her an integral part of the ensemble. She doesn't often sing over top of the music, she's immeshed in it. Check out Corallium Live at Shibuya Eggman.
Yes. The vocal line is often arranged as though it were another instrument. And they control the sound space so the vocals are heard, even in their most chaotic songs.
The best part of the video is your realization of the REAL rap section. I couldn't wait to see it happen after watching the patter explanation. Your reaction... lots of fun... didn't disappoint. And of course, you're not a failure! Also, yes, I looked up Power Rangers - it is similar.
This was the song that got me into Band-Maid. This song has a very special place in my heart.
David Bowie has an album called Hunky Dory.
Was going to mention David Bowie, also the fact that his friend and bass player produced Band Maid. At least for one song. Tony Visconti.
It contains the wonderful "Life on Mars?"
Its in my cd collection 🤘🤘
Was just the vocals. Mincho sent the instrumental sample expecting him to refine it and he just said "that's perfect - no notes" or the equivalent. @@nellybod8742
Have a Hunky Dory Sunday ;) hehe
Welcome Home Princess NittPicc! I hope you are having a hunky-dory day! I still look forward to Band Maid Sunday's every week because I can picc on you again. Please take care and have a wonderful week.
Princess Nittpicc, I'm happy that you are a reactor. Your musical background gives you insight into a song that a non-musician, like myself doesn't have. All I can really add about Band-Maid is their versatility as a group continually amazes me. Be careful now. Hunky Dory may sneak itself into your everyday vernacular!
Excellent!. This song took a while to sink in for me, it's definitely not one of my favorites (maybe because of that playful chorus) but after listening to the instrumental version (on Band Maid Prime) and seeing Kanami play with the focus on her guitar, I have enormous respect for it. This song is HUGE and the guitar work is absolutely passionate. Thank you!
YES I FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT ...SAIKI IS AMAZING BY THE WAY AND GORGEOUS
This song redefined my definition of "rock quarry" 😹🎀
Influencer is the musical version of a BAND-MAID sampler. It showcases their vast repertoire of skills.
This band does what they want and its great.
This song is composed of all my favorite parts.
Another great and fun reaction NittPicc! Don't worry about being wrong, Band Maid continues to surprise us all. If you have Band Maid Prime, there is a making of video for this video that is fun and entertaining. It was very hot that day they filmed this - 98F! So hot that Misa wore shoes, LOL! And if you haven't yet seen it, in the Yokohama Arena show, Miku- yes, Miku - did the guitar intro for this song, Influencer. Okay, she wasn't shredding, but it was still a very cool intro by our favorite small pigeon!
It was very cool! Miku is pure joy to watch when she's playing guitar. She has all the rock-star poses down, definitely not your prototypical rhythm-guitarist.
Great reaction as usual but yes- the actual rap section doesn't happen until the middle of the song. It's always good when Band-Maid prove that predicting what they are going do hits the fan- sorry. It's what puts them above most other bands. The Hunky Dory thing often comes with US reactors, but basically means Excellent- (Concise Oxford Dictionary). So, an excellent day.
Saiki can rap, actually she has no limits. "The word rap as a name for the genre seems to have been inspired by an earlier meaning of rap within the Black community to mean “an impressive verbal display” that is traced back to the 1950s. " Wiki
NittPicc finds the Band Maid song dedicated to the highs and lows of online content creators. Band Maid is all inclusive ! ;) Have a hunky-dory day!
"Hunky-dory" A good old fashioned English saying that is. And not about a handsome fish out of "Finding Nemo" :)
You should know us by now, right? 🤭🤣
The solo section is brilliant in my opinion and also fits perfectly with the social media theme with Saiki's words/announcements. "Focus on buzz"(/bass) -> Misa activates the groove mode ... "Wan't more of a shock?" -> Minchozilla rises. And both solos short and snappy like posts on social media. I don't want to say evanescent, because they're too good for that, but both certainly have solos that are more memorable (imo), and yet they are always impressive/shocking again when you hear them. Just like some posts that you find again years later and have forgotten about. 😏 I don't know if that was intentional when they wrote it but I could very well imagine it. Brain-Maids feat. MC Saiki... (don't worry, I'll put myself in the 'shame on you' corner for that one 😇)

「 _"Our rock never dies ever. Forever!"_ 」 - from *BAND-MAID* - 'Manners' ♬🕊
Japanese is made up of syllables that are all the same length, and it doesn't stress any of them, so it naturally has a very staccato sound. I've been told Japanese rappers actually emulate western language prosody by unnaturally altering tempo, stretching syllables, that sort of thing. I think you can hear that a bit during Saiki's rap section, although it might be hard to recognize without some familiarity with Japanese or a very perceptive ear...
This is one of those tracks where I wonder (AGAIN) what planet Akane is from. I mean, her "basic drum patterns" in the 1st and 2nd verses are "other worldly" (and YOU mentioned them, which is RARE! Bravo!) Her fill going into the final chorus is also just "sexy" as aych ee double tooth...picc. 😂🤯🕊️
Hay nittpicc....may I suggest Band Maid why, why, why (live) I'm sure you will love it...100% 🔥..thanks
Having always been one to appreciate a bad attitude, I like the tongue in cheek snarkiness of this, laid over their usual amazing arrangement and performance. Made even better by the dizzying drone shots. A perfectly package.
So, so glad you enjoyed this! This song is just very fun and quite different 😊✌️
Some believe that Hunky Dory comes from American sailors who found themselves in the Japanese city of Yokohama. One of the streets in Yokohama is named Honchodori, and in the mid-nineteenth century, it was lined with bars and brothels. Thus one can easily think that after crossing the Pacific, sailors would have a "Honchodori" time a couple of centuries ago.
Miku would know that if it's a thing. She knows a bit of everything, especially what goes down at night after her stew shop times after the maid café closed at 11. 00. She had an all nighter. Why she understands old guys.
@@stevekane4922 As a 810 year old...ish pigeon, I would assume she has seen a great deal 😁
This was the second single from their EP Unleash (well, if we don't count Sense, Hibana and Coralium that came out as a single before, since Sense was the opening of an anime), and when the video and song came out, what stike me at the first listen, is that if you put it just after listening to Thrill, you get a great way to see how much they grew.
Whether it's Kanami who is wild during a good part of the song, Misa and her double bass solo, Akane who hits harder and harder, Saiki who goes fast and raps and the confidence of Miku both in her guitar playing and her harmonies or that final note on “love” that I always look forward to each time I listen to it.
If I ignore the emotional connections of certain songs in relation to the lyrics and just focus on the music and the feeling, the vibe that the song gives me, Influencer is one of my tops.
Every one of us watching/listening to your beginning ...
🤭
Also, shout-out to brave Kanami, who has said she's scared of heights standing on a sheer cliff-side
I wish that Hunky Dory Day will become a thing in Japan. My dad used to say Hunky Dory all the time
"Hunky dory" This phrase is very close to Japanese expression "Honki (本気) Dori (or Tori 撮り)" that means 「本気」= serious, earnest, sincere" and 「撮り」= filming, recording, image capturing".
Leave it to MISA to make rap cool in a song !!!!! Im not rap fan but little sprinkle if done right can really add to a song. And leave it to
Band Maid to do it right !!!!!!! What truly keeps amazing me about this band is I have been going back thru their catalogue of songs....
even one's I didn't think I liked and re listened to them. And I haven't found a bad one yet !!!!! The only other band that did that to me
were the Beatles and Led Zeppelin !!!!! And you also find hidden gems....like Freezer and Awkward. Take a listen....unbelievable!!!!!
Today you made my day, i knew the song well and when you said at the beginning that she was not rapping i expect you're reaction later on the song, it was funny to see you admit your failure. Nice video..as always
I was hoping you would do this one :) One of my favourites of this version of them. During Saike's somewhat unpitched rap portion, listen to Miku's very pitched background vocals. So Band-Maid. (For that matter, they rarely have one vocal line or simple harmony either, it's just not their style. Thankfully.)
Rap, patter, or just belting it out, Saiki always Just Brings It! Band Maid Sunday is the best!!!!! Thank you NittPicc!
Great reaction🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻
I'm already subscribed you influencer !!!!
😅😅😅
You right we need more Saiki rap in their songs
One of my favorites from them. OK I say that a lot 😅. Great reaction 👍
Hunky dory day is believed to be a "pun" on Honki Dori that means sincere image capturing. Maybe pun is not the right word.
I’ve been waiting for this one.
Saiki's been throwing in little rap/patter into a number of songs, including Unleash, Influencer, Corallium and even the new Bestie.
...and Blooming
Yep and in more songs, I can't remember the title but from unseen world.
Hola!
😃
*BAND MAID!*
🤘😀🤘
Fav rapper? Saiki.
There are a number of songs where Saiki uses a rap like cadence but yeah, here she is flat out throwing bars. Another great song that incorporates so many genres. Great reation, thanks! I think you are about ready for Corallium which shows off another side of the ladies that I don't believe you have experienced yet!
listening to Band-Maid makes every day a hunky dory day 😂 Kanami did not like being on that cliff seeing she's afraid of heights
No mention of Ah-chan going HAM during the outro?? Thanks for the reaction!
I liked this song when the EP came out but when I heard it live it was the one that ascended more than any of the others into my favorites. Such a rocking vibe (drive by those rollicking drums).
Der Song und dein Lachen make my evening! Olaf from Hamburg❤
Makes my evening too, Ben. Hello from a miserable, cold & wet London.🙂👋
@@GaryHolloway-810 grüße aus dem warmen, sonnigen Ahrensburg nach London! Zu deiner letzten Antwort Gary: ich liebe Kirschtorte! Meine Frau schenkt sie mir immer selbst gemacht zu meinem Geburtstag!

Ooh very nice, Ben, i i love cherry pie too. There's a bakers near me that make a delicious shortcrust pastry cherry pie with caramalised sugar on top. I call it "Cheery pie", especially if i have a tub of clotted cream too.😋
Never heard the words "Hunky Dory" being used? It is the title of one of David Bowie's best albums, from 1971. And, in (almost) 6 degrees of separation mode, I'd have to add that it was one Bowie album not produced by Tony Visconti...who produced Band-Maid's "The dragon cries" and turned up at their NY gig a year or two ago with his 12 string Zemaitis, one of the first made and which he'd purchased accompanied by George Harrison of The Beatles, who had one made for him too. There's film of Kanami having a shred on it though she couldn't use it for the gig as she'd never tried one before.
every time i see MISA on that cliff with her flowing black hair and robes , i think "there is a movie in there somewhere" so i ask "what would be the name of the movie?"
That’s what I thought! It’s such a cool shot!
The Rock Abyss Assassin
I Would Die For You
Cliffhanger Two!
I love Saiki's facial expression and mannerisms during this song are cool as hell!
This Mother's Day please give a shout out to all of Band Maid's mothers. If it wasn't for them Band Maid would not have existed.
That is so Right Po!❤
In the new song Bestie, Saiki-san BRIEFLY raps. Blink and you’ll miss it. lol, she did it, I believe, to suit the tempo.
For more Saiki's rhythmic vocal, Moratoriam I think is also a great example. No rap, but tricky and tasty as f.
We believe in you, NittPicc! Try it! Who knows, maybe the bass is your true talent, and in two years you will cover MISA's solo effortlessly! 🥰😍🤗🤩
The magic spell MOE-MOE KYUN-KYUN should also help 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
Break out that bass. Go for it
Band Maid "Bestie" official music video just dropped .. "WHO ARE THESE WOMEN?" damn!!!!
I saw them play this in November of ‘22. Before the show, this was one of my least anticipated songs on the (stacked) set list. Not a bad song by any stretch, but wasn’t as excited for this as I was for almost all the others. But when this song started, I was one of the first to start bouncing and first chanting. This song got the crowd bouncing. The wood floor was bouncing like a trampoline. One of my favorites from the night. Too bad it doesn’t have a live video, because it’s so much better in a live setting. This song brings out the crowd energy for sure.
when you listen to "About Us"....
When you do please play the version with Saiki's heartfelt introduction to the song. They were scheduled to play the Buddocan- where all the huge Western rock bands played back in the day. That was canceled due to Covid. Her speech addresses this and the nature of About Us.
Ain't any shame in thinking Power Rangers during that solo. The original series had a great soundtrack, which I owned back in the day. And I was in high school at the time! Lil brother watched it, and I fell in love with the soundtrack.
I love Band Maid.
A brilliant song and a cool video! Miku can really scream! MISA, MISA, MISA! Notice Kanami never looks down during her solo, lol!
Never too late to learn! I'm mostly a singer and guitar player, but MISA made me buy a bass and basically switch instruments lol.
Japanese origin - "Honcho-dori" was the "Main Street" in Yokohama (12 km from Yokohama Arena). Story say the American sailors, during the late 1800, were directed to follow this road back to the ship. Therefore, "easy street" to get back to the ship after liberty. Most likely pronounced by the sailors as "Hunky Dory," Po! 🦍🍌
If you think you can do that, then Band Maid does what they intend to do, they want to inspire people, you felt inspired, they did their inspiring job very well,
The instrumentation flow in this song is amazing...
Band Maid displaying more versatility. Some fan desires still to be fulfilled: Saiki and Band Maid going R&B, country, and my own wish, is old school Japanese Enka. Saiki and Miku have joked about doing Enka styling in a future song.
NittPicc, let me start by saying that I love your Band-Maid reaction videos and I usually hit the like button before I even watch them. I also think you are in the top 5 when it comes to Band-Maid regular reactors. With that being said, the issue I'm starting to see is a pattern in your videos where you overlook Miku. I'm sure it is unintentional and I get the fact that your a musician, that you are hyper focused on what Saiki, Kanami, Misa, and Akane are doing and maybe forget to mention what Miku is doing in the song, but do you have any idea how integral Miku Kobato is to this band? I know you have done a reaction to the Saiki documentary so I was wondering if, in the near future, you could do a reaction video to Ohrenje's 3 part documentary series on Miku and throw some love to our little pigeon. I think she deserves a little bit of the spotlight don't you? ✌
It’s not that I’m trying to ignore her per say. My Miku appreciation goes deep, but it just isn’t here on RUclips. She’s the leader and the glue that creates such an incredible band/bond.
I guess I don’t verbalize it because I feel like it’s implied like, “wow all these great musicians doing amazing things. Amazing job, Miku!”
The reactions to the other documentaries are coming, but Ohrenje is redoing (some or all) of them and he suggested I save Mss Kobato’s for last. I want to respect his wishes. ☺️
Saw them live last year twice and Saiki's speaking voice is much deeper than much of her song vocals. It surprises me when I hear it.
A Saiki rap followed by Misa slap thrashing her bass, while both are standing on the edge of a rock quarry = awesome!
Gotten around to "Moratorium" yet? With the creative use of "don't dilly-dally". It's like Kobato got hold of a 1950's English phrase-book, and is making good use of it. :)
I always enjoy Band-Maid sunday.
Did you miss Saiki's and Miku's long notes at the end?
BM is a PROG ROCK as it’s like so thanks to what Mincho writes and how she writes it.
Ha, ha, ha, I was waiting for it (when Saiki starts laying it down). Love the look on your face. BTW there WAS a "behind the scenes" video where they talking about it being like 110f degrees up on those quarry cliffs. They ARE hot.
Misa looking like some epic warrior ninja midnight princess of death goddess
Really Hunky Dory Day, just finish with Okuyji Spin-off. Did you check out? Maybe avoid bcuz Reaction😅. Anyway Gud2Cya, hope u getting well soon
I love this song. I love this video. My favourite rapper is Eminem. And i'm very happy, because this summer, both BAND-MAID and Eminem release a new album ! And Dream Theater as well will release an album this year. A great year for music indeed.
The word “hunky-dory” actually has a Japanese origin. In the early days of the post-war occupation of Japan, US service personnel would often spend their off-duty hours in the Hankyuu Dori district (dori means road) where a lot of the good bars, shops and restaurants were concentrated.
So with use, the name became associated with having a good time, it morphed into hunky-dory, and migrated back to America.
"Hunk dory day"-other BM songs throw in slang from the 50s Era too. Maybe from US occupation of Japan-Miku probably grew up hearing it in the background of her life.
And Saiki is now a Japanese rap goddess ; ) On top of being the QUEEN OF MAIDS.
This was the first BM song I heard. It popped up on RUclips autoplay. I thought it was OK, pretty interesting... but then the bass solo hit, one thing led to another, and now I'm tattooing the band's logo on my face (metaphorically speaking).
During the last song on the 10th anniversary show endless story our ice queen broke down during her monolog for the song and is no longer the ice queen but the queen of hearts very emotional not sure you've reacted to it but if not you should
I LOVED this Reaction vid!!! In answer to Russell Crowe....YES!!! I was entertained...lol So I watched this 3 times and just laughed so hard, really at just how honest your reaction was....and I appreciated that and yes laughed heartily 🤣 But to the matter at hand.....So Influencer I'll admit caught me off guard when it came out and I initially didn't know what to make of it, but when I was able to read the lyrics I saw it was brilliant. I believe the lyrics are Miku but from an idea from Saiki who wanted to do a song about social media. The clincher was seeing the Maid's perform Influencer live at August Hall in 2022 it was phenomenal....I've loved it ever since 😎👍
"I could do that" - You ABSOLUTELY could. The MISA who existed before the Pandemic was very good. The bassist who emerged afterwards is otherworldly. The band would meet over zoom to practice, would challenge each other, and improved a huge amount. So if you took out that bass, played for an hour in the morning, and an hour at night, day after day after day, you could be that good, too. Most people don't have the time in their lives, and don't have the commitment, to make it happen. There's NOTHING wrong with that. Not putting yourself through that grind is perfectly valid. But if you decided you wanted it badly enough, you could make it happen.
They filmed that video in 99 degree heat. And Misa and Saiki are wearing all black.
Not a bead of sweat on ‘em! Amazing!
