@@jkkansasband7056 Wow I was making a hidden joke by turning fire & flames the other way cos of the Herman Li's B-M audition vid. Kudos for noticing :)
On a recent survey on the Band-Maid reddit page 90 people listed their top 5 Band-Maid songs. 83 of their songs appeared in at least one top 5 list. Their catalog is deep and their ages are only 27-30. The #1 mentioned song was Daydreaming. It's more of a ballad, but it's perfectly written and executed. I love me some Alex Lifeson and David Gilmour, but the solo by that tiny, polite Japanese woman is legit in my top 5 favorite of all time.
So the comment you read "Band Maid is the best live band on the planet" is true, but after listening to them for two years now I can confidentiality say Band Maid can hold their own against any band ever. The ladies don't always go this hard, they are a melting pot of musical brilliance and delve into a little of everything. If your interested in seeing the "softer" side of them check out their masterpiece "Daydreaming". 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
Totally agree with you, I found them 6 months ago. I've listened to hard rock and metal since it was invented in the 70s. Finally we got Band-Maid, the best hard rock band since Led Zeppelin and Thin Lizzy. I started playing guitar because of those two bands, I still play bass in a few bands today. MISA has become my latest inspiration when it comes to playing the bass, she does things on the bass I've never heard before.
Glad you like that one. Love that you agree with us Maidiacs that Band Maid is the best band out there. For me, best live show to come around since I attended Queen concerts during the 1970s. You asked what to watch next. In my comment to your last reaction, I offered official live versions of "Play", "Onset", and "Freedom". But truth is, it doesn't matter so much with which song you start. All roads lead down the same rabbit hole. I've seen people enter every which way.
The only thing these girls repeat is their awesomeness! Pick any of their songs and you won't be disappointed. _This is one of their earlier tracks, once they changed labels all their more recent stuff does have subtitles._
Roll the 🎲 *DICE* 🎲 on BAND-MAID and be a winner all the time _winner winner chicken dinner!!!_ _(Plugin a little _*_BAND-MAID_*_ to brighten up your day)_ 9:47 *Seize the moment! BAND-MAID*
This was the song that first introduced me to Band Maid last year. I've been listening to them non-stop ever since, and they've become my favorite band. Glad you guys are enjoying them! I'll recommend that you listen to "Freedom" (Live) next, it has a fun surprise.
That’s my story as well. I’m 55 years old… classic rock and metal runs in my veins, and Band Maid is in the very top tier of bands, IMO. Their technical skills are matched by their compositional skills. Zeppelin might be the only other band i can think of that has as large a catalog, and yet maintains such consistently high quality. Freedom (live) is a great choice, as is Onset (live). Also you’d love The Dragon Cries music video. That one is sung in all english. All are on their official channel, and they don’t mind reactions to them.
DICE has great lyrics of Miku Kobato. It is a song that supports women's independence. The girl is blindfolded in the dark and holding a doll. She is trapped in her own world without seeing the outside world. But in her life the dice are rolled and unexpected things happen. You can enjoy it too. At the end of the song, the screen is wrapped in light, and the girl stands up, removes her blindfold, and walks into the light. One moment of pain Ten moment of delight I'll look for the reason Let's get started As soon as you think about moving forward and backward Winning or losing Dice was thrown Dispel the imperfect situation Just for me
Context of this song: Miku mentioned on some interview that it's Band-Maid's response to Hikikomori - Japanese anti-social phenomenon, when people completely withdraw themselves from any social interactions and living life of isolation and confinement like hermits. Millions of people waste their live like that, especially in "pandemic" time.
One of my current favorite songs/music videos is "Warning". It's a hard driving rock song and in the video you have racing cars, crashes, explosions and maids strapped to the top of speeding cars a la Mad Max while playing. It doesn't get more rock than that!
I hear Band-Maid EVERY FRKING DAY! It gives me so much joy and energy... My wife thinks i am a little bit crazy about them (YES I AM!), but she also likes them, not her type of music, but she appreciates the talent and loves the outfits. I think they are without ANY DOUBT the most talented band right now. The songwriting, musicianship, how charismatic they are, the chemistry, their live perfomances and WORKRATE is INSANE! It sets them so far ahead from any other band, they put other bands to shame and shows how lazy some bands REALLY are... That´s just my opinion and if you think about it how much success some other bands had with maybe 2-3 riffs in their whole career it´s getting a little bit sad, these ladies deserve so much more! Greetings from Germany
What's even more amazing the girl who started the band couldn't even play guitar at first. Now she is an accomplished rhythm guitarist as good as there is. Just one more amazing fact about this incredible band. So much more.
Funny reaction! I just knew this band since this pandemic started last year. I was actually bored at home and started looking at the RUclips any new rock bands that I haven't heard it before and Band-Maid showed up. TBH, when I heard the name and their outfits I thought it was another pop-ish band. And then, when I heard and watched their first song, Real Existence.. I was shocked! And, there is a so much different and contrast between their looks and songs! These ladies can rock hard! I mean REALLY rock hard. Since then, I become their HUUUUGE fans. And, there is no 1 bad song. Every songs they have are a blast! Check out more songs on their channel. If not, subscribe their Band-Maid Prime. I can guarantee you it is worth the money! BTW, music doesn't need translation. It's a universal language.
Guys, I know EXACTLY how you feel. Four months ago "Dice" was my gateway drug. Legit chills from the very opening drum and bass lines, then the rifle shot from the lead guitar launched me into the stratosphere....sweating. I seriously couldn't believe it was real....until I paid closer attention to the drummer. The way Akane moves behind her kit, particularly the triplet leading into the breakdown (overhead shot of her) was the clincher. Now, I need a 12 step program (NOT HAPPENING!) Best band I have ever heard/seen/experienced. Rock on, gentlemen!
Forget the subtitles!! Listen to the music and watch the video. The Maids are The Real Deal. Probably learnt that from all of the Maidiacs. Great band and brilliant live. One of the best.
Going back to Nippon Budokan then Tokyo dome would be the pinnacle of seeing Band Maid live. That's it, Po! BTW, about the lyrics. They are very well thought out and very deep. Here's a Reddit link on how Miku (rhythm guitar, main lyricist) go about incorporating the English and Japanese. It a little technical but you will appreciate the master craftsmanship she puts into her work. www.reddit.com/r/BandMaid/comments/hfc9mt/why_miku_is_a_great_lyricist/
When it comes to their sound whatever you hear will be different. Groove with "Manners" or go full throttle with "Warning" There is "No God" to get down with and yes they even have a song called "Different"
FYI Their core fan base (at least in the USA) seems to be people who love classic rock. I notice you guys do quite a bit of classic rock on your channel, so you might want to mention Band-Maid in some of those videos for classic rock fans that would like to discover a young, active band. I just found you guys recently, but I found Band-Maid from a reaction channel similar to yours where they were doing classic rock and also Band-Maid. Band-Maid kept popping up on my screen and I avoided them because I just assumed they were pop or something, but I eventually bit on one of them. I think within 2 days I had watched everything on RUclips by them. I wish one of those reactors had recommended them and pointed out they are definitely rock and roll.
MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! Barefoot Bass Assassin , you guys are the first reactors that weren't freaked out by the dolls , you are correct MT Fuji is in Japan , there new stuff has closed captions , but with Band-Maid you don't need the lyrics . There song The Dragon Cries is in English .
New Maidiac as of March 2021. It's true, they're the best rock band on planet earth. My favourite since Led Zeppelin and Bad Company. I love your reactions. You and your son have great chemistry. So many songs to choose from. I recommend you go with another live performance. You can go with: Freedom Real Existence Take me higher Play For something a little different try About Us. A ballad written as a tribute to the fans. A beautiful song
THE best rock band of today, 100 songs in 8 years, no one is bad, no other band has done this in the history of rock. Now you have to react to many different songs, and like during a trip you will discover the magic of Band-Maid, and you will fall in love with them without escape.😎👍❤
Here's my take on DICE's lyrics: I know the "dice" have already been thrown (as in her lyrics), but I choose to look at it as stop being indecisive, sitting in a dark room playing with dolls (TV, toys, games, etc.). "Seize the moment", roll the dice, open your eyes, and walk into the light! Miku's lyrics, especially after translation, can be a bit cryptic - open for interpretation, as are all poems and lyrics. But their music is always right on point which melds the two into wonderful songs of possibilities!
One of my top 5 favorite songs of theirs. MISA, the Barefoot Assassin, kills that bass. The only songs I have ever watched with subtitles are The Dragon Cries, because it's all in English, and About Us, because it was written for the fans because of the pandemic. It is my favorite because its just so beautiful. I always start out explaining to people that they are the greatest rock band you've never heard of.
For live songs I'd recommend Onset, Wonderland, Play, Freedom, Moratorium and No God. For music videos check out Different, Blooming, Manners, Rinne, Warning and Real Existence.
@@GaryHolloway-810 The internet brings good people together at least as much as it brings whackadoos together. Which we are, well, your mileage may vary. ;-)
I'll raise the bet and say they are the best rock band ever. You don't need to understand music because when it's well spoken feelings are all the words you need. They have music for everybody: If they wanna go hard they'll go harder than anyone and all the way around too with their ballads, mixing a lot of genres since jazz and blues to punk and pop, most times in the same song and always with a unique touch of creativity, licks, riffs, rolls, cymbals, slaps, belts... all-in on a perfect harmony. More than a hundred quality songs speak for them, no need to rant. I'll suggest some classics before even going with their new album which is, as always, fantastic: Freedom live, Rinne mv, The Dragon Cries mv (this one is a classic rock song produced by Tony Visconti with the girls, sung completely in English), Daydreaming mv, Don't You Tell ME mv, Onset live (instrumental), Choose Me mv.. And I can keep going on forever, but I think that's a good gourmet menu to get started with this legend in the making band 🤘🕊️
look up the song "freedom" that was the one apparently that jimmy page went back stage. hint: drum solo no body does solos like that since metallica and g&r
Looks like you truly enjoyed this one. I think a good follow-up to this would be "Rinne". it's a little heavier than Dice but an equally great song. For newer songs, try "Warning!" or "Manners". I'm sure you are getting enough suggestions to this phenomenal band.
The song writing skills are off the chart.... Kanami's (ld gt) favorite guitarist is Carlos Santana....and she is amazing in compotisiton...Miku's (founder and 2nd guitar) as a lyricist and Saiki filling in too.....amazing! MISA and Akane....dayum.....lol \m/ Best rock band on the planet. I haven't heard anything this consistant since Van Halen's first 6 or so albums.... Turns out Japanese is the perfect langauge for lyrics....all the two letter words...man \m/
Lyric from this song for me, "May I take your order?" I order more Band Maid! One of the things I love about Band Maid is that each and every one of these ladies are featured and prominent in every song! I like to think of Saiki's voice is another instrument adding to the overall excellence of each song! When we Maidiac's say no bad songs, we truly mean it! Play and Freedom from Feb 2021 and No God, live, from 2021, are great next songs! Onset and Without Holding Back are instrumentals that are not to be missed! Japanese is a very cool language! There are no better bands on the planet, good bands, yes, but none better! I saw people recommending The Warning and, yes, they are fantastic too, just not a musically complex and dense as these amazing ladies! I'll throw out Liliac(Lilly-Ack), an American five member band that like The Warning, is all siblings, and is another fantastic band! Music is alive and well in 2021!
Band Maid is AWESOME !!! You can play any song off the "Brand New Maid" CD and its a winner. I have this cd in my top ten album list of all time. With ( Dark Side of the Moon) being number one. If you play "Freedom" do the live version because there is no drum solo on the cd.
Stop with the false rumors. Jimmy Page attended Rock in Tokyo in 2016. After watching Band-Maid perform he sent his people backstage and asked to meet with the band's drummer Hirose Akane. She thought she was being punked at first. She met with him and they were photographed together. No one was privy to their private conversation. No one. Akane later said about the meeting "Mr. Jimmy Page-San offered me many words of encouragement and I promised him l would do my very to live up to his kind words." That's the full extent of it. There were several bands there and he only requested to meet with A-chan. No one else. That is what happened. And yes Band-Maid is hands down the best hard rock band working anywhere on the planet and the most prolific songwriters ( the team of Kobato-Tono) this millennium.
Miku is a genius lyricist, mixing Japanese and English. If you read the lyrics you will get what the song is about from the English lyrics she mixes into her writing. Band-Maid are the top of rock today, Japan or the world, doesn't matter, they are the very best hard rock band in the last 30 years.
Welcome to the world (aka: Rabbit Hole) of Band Maid! You will become a MAIDIAC! You will learn soon enough that these ladies ROCK! They are a very talented group. They are all well trained in various instruments. There is not a bad song from BAND MAID - 7 Albums and many singles to date. REAL EXISTENCE - AFTER LIFE - ABOUT US (a song for us the fans!) - PLAY - BLOOMING - DICE - GIOVANNI (INSTRUMENTAL VERSION) All great songs! All songs are on Spotify! Try ARCADIA GIRL - FREEZER - MATCHLESS GUM
I will definitely be watching all your Band Maid reactions...keep it up...great reaction!!! Check out Freedom and Play live, the instrumental Onset, and MV's Thrill, Real Existence, Rinne, Manners and Warning. So many more too!!!
U want to see some high energy drumming. Check out Junna she in a late teen drummer from Japan. She does drum covers. Check out her cover of Dragon Force cover of Though the fire and the flames. This girl can drum. Even the drummer of Dragon Force him self reacted to her and said she is his favorite drummer. I 100% bet my left foot u guys will smile ear to ear listening to her. Keep up the great work.
I have the same reaction to band maid that you do: They are the best rock and roll band playing right now. Every song rocks. Try Real Existence live or Onset live and your mind will be blown.
Lol - Welcome to the World of Maidiacs! You really can't go wrong with any Band Maid song - please do Secret My Lips next (and whemln you've got a few more of their masterpieces under your belt, then check out their alter ego 'Band Maiko' you won't be disappointed! Also check out the following bands from Japan: Nemophila, Mutant Monster, Glim Spanky, Stereo Girl, Doll Parts, Polka Dot Stingray, Fern Planet / Rick Rack, 362, Lucie Too... Enjoy Guys! 😊👍
Double feature time - Secret My Lips and Secret Maiko Lips (an April fools joke of all things). You won't be disappointed in either - the question is which you'll like more.
They can go hard at times, but their sound is definitely a variety of rock sounds.. There are so few pure rock bands.. There are several great metal bands, because there are about 40 different sub genre's of the metal sound for a band to master their own slice of the metal world. I also think metal expanded into all those sub genre's to fill the void created due to a serious lack of rock music.
Uh, no. Not knowing Miku's words would be ridiculous. I have to know and it is not very hard to find out what she is saying. Just about every single song Kobato-Tono have written is Miku speaking directly to the Maidiacs and fans. She has something to say and it is important for people to hear and understand exactly what. You just might be surprised. I will assume you were just using hyperbole to underscore just how good the music by itself is and that is true. But the message, if anything, is even more important.
BAND MAID is always "language soup" thanks to MIKU's genius. Some songs are completely in English ... hard to believe she uses Google translate to write. VERY labor intensive.
This is how you know you're making great music when you don't care or even realize that what she saying is in different language these girls are these girls are phenomenal on their instruments but I got admit my favorite band member is all of them
Guys, check out also another all Japanese girls Heavy Metal Band LOVEBITES latest MV Glory To The World, Winds Of Transylvania(song for Anime Vladlove), NEMOPHILA songs Dissension studio/live, MV Raitei, HANABIE song We Love Sweets, ASTERISM songs Rising Moon, Dawn(all instrumental Metal song)
They aren't Metallica, they aren't G 'n R, and there's only ONE creepy doll. Lol They're BAND MAID, and there's really and truly no other band on this planet like them.
Band Maid is hard rock and if you want more great Japanese music try these bands LOVEBITES (their songs are in English btw) and Nemophila both are all female Japanese metal bands with great sounds
Snowdog is trying to out do me at being a 'Krazy Maidiac' :D Seriously, I think lots of us Maidiacs have been bugging reactors bout Band Maid for a while now. ;) I suggest the following Band Maid songs: Thrill, Manners, Bubble & No God
It isn't quite true that they never change their outfits, but it /is/ pretty infrequent and you can pretty much tell when any video was in relation to another based on what generation of outfit they are wearing. But they are all variations of maid outfits. Miku and Kanami are typical maids, Akane has more sporty maid outfit (shorts), Misa is an assassin maid and Saiki is wearing a hostess maid dress. Or at least that's how I see it, YMMV. They all choose how their outfits will evolve and look, so it is what they want (as it should be!). Keep the Band Maid reactions rolling! Sooooo much more for you to see.
good choice, gentlemen. if i may add, i was there, when metallicaca grew from a small speed metal band to big stage name. this is better. way, waaay better...

Great video. I found you guys through your reactions to Band-Maid, so keep up the good work. I'm going to suggest a song called Villian by K/DA for a reaction in the future.

One moment of pain
Ten moment of delight
I'll look for the reason
Let's get started
As soon as you think about moving forward and backward
Winning or losing
Dice was thrown
Dispel the imperfect situation
Just for me
Context of this song: Miku mentioned on some interview that it's Band-Maid's response to Hikikomori - Japanese anti-social phenomenon, when people completely withdraw themselves from any social interactions and living life of isolation and confinement like hermits. Millions of people waste their live like that, especially in "pandemic" time.
They write there on music they are unique and stand alone on no one's shoulders
"Blooming" is also OFF THE CHAIN....."Freedom" (live) is also a must to see drummer Akane's skills 🥁
One of my current favorite songs/music videos is "Warning". It's a hard driving rock song and in the video you have racing cars, crashes, explosions and maids strapped to the top of speeding cars a la Mad Max while playing. It doesn't get more rock than that!
The song is about this >>>> Roll the dice in life. Don't coop up inside, go outside and take life in your hands.

Here's my take on DICE's lyrics: I know the "dice" have already been thrown (as in her lyrics), but I choose to look at it as stop being indecisive, sitting in a dark room playing with dolls (TV, toys, games, etc.). "Seize the moment", roll the dice, open your eyes, and walk into the light! Miku's lyrics, especially after translation, can be a bit cryptic - open for interpretation, as are all poems and lyrics. But their music is always right on point which melds the two into wonderful songs of possibilities!
One of my top 5 favorite songs of theirs. MISA, the Barefoot Assassin, kills that bass. The only songs I have ever watched with subtitles are The Dragon Cries, because it's all in English, and About Us, because it was written for the fans because of the pandemic. It is my favorite because its just so beautiful. I always start out explaining to people that they are the greatest rock band you've never heard of.
These girls can play metal, thrash, pop, punk, hard Rock and do it seamlessly. Usually they put it all in one song and they blend it perfectly.
For live songs I'd recommend Onset, Wonderland, Play, Freedom, Moratorium and No God. For music videos check out Different, Blooming, Manners, Rinne, Warning and Real Existence.
Freedom live is off the hook! Can you say DRUM SOLO ?
Snowdog showin' people the way.
I didn't realise SNOWDOG's & Crabuki's crossed paths much. what with the different climate for a start :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 The internet brings good people together at least as much as it brings whackadoos together. Which we are, well, your mileage may vary. ;-)
@@crabuki1273 Lol. G.G I'm not sure if that's a compliment or if i should review my decision to implore Maidiacs not to eat you on another channel :)
I'll raise the bet and say they are the best rock band ever. You don't need to understand music because when it's well spoken feelings are all the words you need.
They have music for everybody: If they wanna go hard they'll go harder than anyone and all the way around too with their ballads, mixing a lot of genres since jazz and blues to punk and pop, most times in the same song and always with a unique touch of creativity, licks, riffs, rolls, cymbals, slaps, belts... all-in on a perfect harmony.
More than a hundred quality songs speak for them, no need to rant.
I'll suggest some classics before even going with their new album which is, as always, fantastic: Freedom live, Rinne mv, The Dragon Cries mv (this one is a classic rock song produced by Tony Visconti with the girls, sung completely in English), Daydreaming mv, Don't You Tell ME mv, Onset live (instrumental), Choose Me mv.. And I can keep going on forever, but I think that's a good gourmet menu to get started with this legend in the making band 🤘🕊️
look up the song "freedom" that was the one apparently that jimmy page went back stage. hint: drum solo
no body does solos like that since metallica and g&r
Looks like you truly enjoyed this one. I think a good follow-up to this would be "Rinne". it's a little heavier than Dice but an equally great song. For newer songs, try "Warning!" or "Manners". I'm sure you are getting enough suggestions to this phenomenal band.
The song writing skills are off the chart.... Kanami's (ld gt) favorite guitarist is Carlos Santana....and she is amazing in compotisiton...Miku's (founder and 2nd guitar) as a lyricist and Saiki filling in too.....amazing! MISA and Akane....dayum.....lol \m/ Best rock band on the planet. I haven't heard anything this consistant since Van Halen's first 6 or so albums.... Turns out Japanese is the perfect langauge for lyrics....all the two letter words...man \m/
Lyric from this song for me, "May I take your order?" I order more Band Maid! One of the things I love about Band Maid is that each and every one of these ladies are featured and prominent in every song! I like to think of Saiki's voice is another instrument adding to the overall excellence of each song! When we Maidiac's say no bad songs, we truly mean it! Play and Freedom from Feb 2021 and No God, live, from 2021, are great next songs! Onset and Without Holding Back are instrumentals that are not to be missed! Japanese is a very cool language! There are no better bands on the planet, good bands, yes, but none better! I saw people recommending The Warning and, yes, they are fantastic too, just not a musically complex and dense as these amazing ladies! I'll throw out Liliac(Lilly-Ack), an American five member band that like The Warning, is all siblings, and is another fantastic band! Music is alive and well in 2021!
03:04 "WHAT ARE YOU DOOING!!!" 🤣🤣🤣
Dont do that, he Will punch YOU in the face!!!
Nice reaction!
Band Maid is AWESOME !!! You can play any song off the "Brand New Maid" CD and its a winner. I have this cd in my top ten album list of all time. With ( Dark Side of the Moon) being number one. If you play "Freedom" do the live version because there is no drum solo on the cd.
You guys need to check their Alone mv it was their first song they were allowed to do all them selves
The overwhelming majority of their songs are very good to great. Here's my top 5: Different, Rinne, Blooming, Warning, Real Existence,
Stop with the false rumors. Jimmy Page attended Rock in Tokyo in 2016. After watching Band-Maid perform he sent his people backstage and asked to meet with the band's drummer Hirose Akane. She thought she was being punked at first. She met with him and they were photographed together. No one was privy to their private conversation. No one. Akane later said about the meeting "Mr. Jimmy Page-San offered me many words of encouragement and I promised him l would do my very to live up to his kind words." That's the full extent of it. There were several bands there and he only requested to meet with A-chan. No one else. That is what happened. And yes Band-Maid is hands down the best hard rock band working anywhere on the planet and the most prolific songwriters ( the team of Kobato-Tono) this millennium.
Robert, nice to hear the real story. Thanks man
Thx Robert. The truth is way more profound than the meme!
@@philcalvino884 Absolutely. The simple fact he requested to see her alone is impressive enough. My best regards.
Miku is a genius lyricist, mixing Japanese and English. If you read the lyrics you will get what the song is about from the English lyrics she mixes into her writing. Band-Maid are the top of rock today, Japan or the world, doesn't matter, they are the very best hard rock band in the last 30 years.
#BandMaid Master pjl wuz in daHouse..... #MISA #MISA #MISA
The reaction here is how we all react when we stumble on them on RUclips. Best rock band i've heard in decades....
Welcome to the world (aka: Rabbit Hole) of Band Maid! You will become a MAIDIAC!
You will learn soon enough that these ladies ROCK!
They are a very talented group. They are all well trained in various instruments.
There is not a bad song from BAND MAID - 7 Albums and many singles to date.
REAL EXISTENCE - AFTER LIFE - ABOUT US (a song for us the fans!) - PLAY - BLOOMING - DICE - GIOVANNI (INSTRUMENTAL VERSION) All great songs!
All songs are on Spotify! Try ARCADIA GIRL - FREEZER - MATCHLESS GUM
I will definitely be watching all your Band Maid reactions...keep it up...great reaction!!! Check out Freedom and Play live, the instrumental Onset, and MV's Thrill, Real Existence, Rinne, Manners and Warning. So many more too!!!
U want to see some high energy drumming. Check out Junna she in a late teen drummer from Japan. She does drum covers. Check out her cover of Dragon Force cover of Though the fire and the flames. This girl can drum. Even the drummer of Dragon Force him self reacted to her and said she is his favorite drummer. I 100% bet my left foot u guys will smile ear to ear listening to her. Keep up the great work.
I have the same reaction to band maid that you do: They are the best rock and roll band playing right now. Every song rocks. Try Real Existence live or Onset live and your mind will be blown.
Bandmaid onset instrumental live is one of their gems.
Lol - Welcome to the World of Maidiacs! You really can't go wrong with any Band Maid song - please do Secret My Lips next (and whemln you've got a few more of their masterpieces under your belt, then check out their alter ego 'Band Maiko' you won't be disappointed! Also check out the following bands from Japan: Nemophila, Mutant Monster, Glim Spanky, Stereo Girl, Doll Parts, Polka Dot Stingray, Fern Planet / Rick Rack, 362, Lucie Too... Enjoy Guys! 😊👍
Thanks for the suggestions
Secret my Lips is my favorite Band Maid song! 👍🤘🕊
Double feature time - Secret My Lips and Secret Maiko Lips (an April fools joke of all things). You won't be disappointed in either - the question is which you'll like more.
MISA MISA MISA!
They are ROCK. Find a bad song...
Woooo!! Got some new Maid fans!!🙏 welcome to the family guys
Man shouting out snow dog like that giving him the respect and credit earned my sub . Just keep doing s*** like that dude You're Gonna Go Far
You need to watch "Play" the official live video.
They can go hard at times, but their sound is definitely a variety of rock sounds.. There are so few pure rock bands.. There are several great metal bands, because there are about 40 different sub genre's of the metal sound for a band to master their own slice of the metal world. I also think metal expanded into all those sub genre's to fill the void created due to a serious lack of rock music.
The Maids lay waste to every venue they grace
Nice reaction! Btw, when it pauses, I think it's better to play back after 5 seconds :)
Freedom live is a must see , great solo from Akane too.
Idk guys. I think LOvebites come to mind. I love both bands of course. My faves right now.
They are so good, you don’t even need to know the lyrics.
Uh, no. Not knowing Miku's words would be ridiculous. I have to know and it is not very hard to find out what she is saying. Just about every single song Kobato-Tono have written is Miku speaking directly to the Maidiacs and fans. She has something to say and it is important for people to hear and understand exactly what. You just might be surprised. I will assume you were just using hyperbole to underscore just how good the music by itself is and that is true. But the message, if anything, is even more important.
20 to 50 percent of each song is sung in english. There is no bad Band Maid song. I've been a Maidiac since 2015. PEACE!
BAND MAID is always "language soup" thanks to MIKU's genius. Some songs are completely in English ... hard to believe she uses Google translate to write. VERY labor intensive.
This is how you know you're making great music when you don't care or even realize that what she saying is in different language these girls are these girls are phenomenal on their instruments but I got admit my favorite band member is all of them
You have to Google the lyrics for their older videos. Everything before the video for Different on their official RUclips channel has no captions.
Guys, check out also another all Japanese girls Heavy Metal Band LOVEBITES latest MV Glory To The World, Winds Of Transylvania(song for Anime Vladlove), NEMOPHILA songs Dissension studio/live, MV Raitei, HANABIE song We Love Sweets, ASTERISM songs Rising Moon, Dawn(all instrumental Metal song)
Best band on the planet. Another great band to check out is The Warning-three sisters from Mexico. Two best bands today by a mile.
I don't know any band that has so much spice in their songs and still didn't deviate from who they are or how they sounds like,
They aren't Metallica, they aren't G 'n R, and there's only ONE creepy doll. Lol
They're BAND MAID, and there's really and truly no other band on this planet like them.
Band Maid is hard rock and if you want more great Japanese music try these bands LOVEBITES (their songs are in English btw) and Nemophila both are all female Japanese metal bands with great sounds
They dont have a bad song play any song but do thrilled
Band Maid don't remind me of any band ,but Band Maid
you ask us "name a band better than Band Maid" ............... hmmmmmmm .............. nope, I got nuthin
I asure you that The Warning is legit and their fans rock with them
Snowdog is trying to out do me at being a 'Krazy Maidiac' :D Seriously, I think lots of us Maidiacs have been bugging reactors bout Band Maid for a while now. ;)
I suggest the following Band Maid songs: Thrill, Manners, Bubble & No God
I could never out do you, your a legendary Maidiac! 😁🕊
@@snowdog5895 you're too kind *hugs*
It isn't quite true that they never change their outfits, but it /is/ pretty infrequent and you can pretty much tell when any video was in relation to another based on what generation of outfit they are wearing. But they are all variations of maid outfits. Miku and Kanami are typical maids, Akane has more sporty maid outfit (shorts), Misa is an assassin maid and Saiki is wearing a hostess maid dress. Or at least that's how I see it, YMMV. They all choose how their outfits will evolve and look, so it is what they want (as it should be!). Keep the Band Maid reactions rolling! Sooooo much more for you to see.
good choice, gentlemen. if i may add, i was there, when metallicaca grew from a small speed metal band to big stage name. this is better. way, waaay better...
*BAND-MAID* just dropped a video *BAND-MAID / カタルシス "Catharsis" Acoustic Ver* just posted
_(The video Limited Time Release so please react to it)_
Misa, the barefoot assassin crushing on bass
The Warning is my suggestion
You ain’t seen nothing yet.

Mt Fuji. Japan. Madiacs won't steer you wrong.
Except Gary. Gary would definitely steer them wrong. ;-)
Not knowing what a gary is sounds like a moron
@@jeremydawkins8814 Gary's the gentleman who consistently provides wacky made up facts and/or Dad jokes in the comments. He's fun!
It's sort of tangential, but Jinjer is a cool band, check out Pisces live session video. Band-Maid is still my favorite, but this band is cool too.
Somebody please get these guys the old live videos You pulled down. We all know the ones lol
……………………………………..Akane!!
Try Daydreaming

Great video. I found you guys through your reactions to Band-Maid, so keep up the good work. I'm going to suggest a song called Villian by K/DA for a reaction in the future.
