The more you listen to Band-Maid and the way they incorporate so many genres and other musical elements into their songs is like unknowingly taking a music appreciation course.
I believe in the *MISA* documentary *Kanami* told *MISA* to write the bass part of this song and boy did she compose a master piece. 🤯
Yup 👍🍻😁
"Feel like I've never listen to Band Maid." Girl, I feel like that nearly every day. So much stuff.....
Philosopher's questions tumble through my mind.
Always detailed. Never boring. Always listen _behind_ who you think is being featured. I need more ears or more brain cells for "No God". Thanks for the reaction!
Exactly. There's always something happening in the background, that goes for instrumentally & visually :)
Gotta listen to Band-Maid songs at least five times.
This was a big hit on their US 2022 tour *Who-oh-oh-oh, Who-oh-oh-oh*
2023 also 🤘🏻
jump, jump!
This, the acoustic, and white room instrumental are all great and very unique
This is one of their best songs live. I think the band probably feels that way also, as it has become a live staple.
They make such idiosyncratic choices that seem envitible once they are made. Always inventive but always accessible and pleasing to the ear. Can you imagine someone in 1950's America hearing this music? They might go mad. They might have rioted the way the way the patrons did at the first performance of Stravinsky's Firebird. I think BandMaid mirrors the relentless barrage of today's informational "noise" but in the most artistic way possible. It's likeable and it's catchy. The music is crafted to draw the fans in and sticks in our brain. It's a terrific mashup made by courageous artists who use every color and every medium to create an artifact of magic.
Yeah imagine this at Woodstock. Next level "soul sacrifice".
Akane beating those drums like they owe her money.
One thing I really love about Misa's playing besides the 2nd verse and solo portion is how, during the half-time chorus after the solo, while Kanami is playing her counter melody, Misa abandons the rhythm and starts playing along in support of Saiki's vocal melody. It's just played in such a lovely way, her bass work and Saiki's voices complimenting each other so perfectly, along with Miku's harmonies.
As always thank you for the reaction Miss Nitt Picc. Your unabashed joy when listening/ watching along with the musical analysis is so enjoyable. Seeing the song performed live in Atlanta was an experience. The crowd jumping around was awesome but the entire concert was. Thanks again for all of your insight and have a good week with the kiddos.
And we're getting closer and closer to the new album! I am positively giddy with antici...pation.
Kanami wrote the first half, up to her solo, and MISA finished it. I love when Miku holds a high note at the end of the twinkle bit.
"I still seek revenge" is a 3 minute Misa solo
One of the happiest, hard driving songs in their catalog. Just love the MAIDS!!!!!
One of their most beautiful bridges, without a doubt. That clean guitar playing by Kanami is absolutely gorgeousl.
I love the bridge lyrics too.
Lead Vocals - Saiki is my Queen
Lead Guitar- Kanami is my Princess
Drums - Akane is my Godess
Rythm Guitar - Miku is my Inspiration
Bass - MISA is my Soul
Misa actually wrote this 1 , mincho asked her to write a song , the assassin said , po!
I've always seen this song not as an anti-God song, but rather as a song that tells us not to rely on God. I mean, you can pray for whatever the heck you want, but God has indeed put everything there for us to help ourselves to, and has no real reason to entertain our requests any further (unless he chooses to). So, don't rely on God to always help us forward, the us meaning all of us. That's the gist of how I see Miku crafting the lyrics to this song. Don't know if anyone else sees it the same way.
Your take on the song being a love song is interesting, because I got a totally different take on what the song is about. lol To me it's like the lyrics are saying "We don't need some god's direction or help, we'll get what we want out of life and love through our own power. And you better stay out of my way or better yet, hop aboard. Because this train isn't stopping." A crazy motivational type song. Could be wrong, but I like the idea of it, so I'll run with it.
As a member of the church of the Latter Day Maids, i can honestly say all our hymns are awesome.😏
... amen.
Amen Brother Gary Po!
@RealDocLoco, @CharlesColeman.
Bless you. 😇🙏
Have you been in the sacramental wine again?
😎🙏
My favorite bare foot assassin solo. I'm glad you're doing this version first because I think the sound is much clearer than the other live stage version, not the acoustic. Of course the white room version is crystal, but no vocals. Best rock band on the planet.
Miku is a philosopher. A lot of her lyrics greases the cogs in your mind and gets you thinking.
"Onset." 👏👏 "Onset!"👏👏 "Onset!!"👏👏 ONSET!!!👏👏 Hmmm...do I want you to listen to "Onset"? I really is a fantastic song, but more importantly, close up shot of the MISA flip. Worth the watch just for that. Keep up the great work Princess NittPicc. The breakdowns are appreciated and your expressions are priceless. They are amazing. There's the melody with Saiki, the counter melody 1 with Kanami and counter melody 2 with MISA. You can hear them, yet they don't step over each other. Just another days work in the world of Band-Maid. Always keeps the song moving, evolving and interesting. PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘
No God sounds better with a live crowd. The 2022 L.A. show with the crowd participation is crazy energy.
I’m the odd man out on this one. Usually I’d agree, but this song sounds better to me in this video as opposed to the newer one with an audience… though there is more energy from the maids in that one.
A lot of people say "there's something i just can't put my finger on" about BM and for me personally, it's that they keep you off balance (and they're very happy about it!). What you expect is not necessarily what you get, musically. The best composition and structure I've seen since Rush and Yes.
MISA’s pick-hiding is most obvious in “onset” live (during solo) or “DOMINATION” live (just before the solo) videos.
Domination live is where I notice her switch most, during her solo.
I'm glad to see you picked up the older version of this official live video first. The newer one sounds more like a poppy, party song vibe, but this older version has more of an "Ace of Spades", rock'n'roll vibe, which I prefer🤘
Misa hides the pick in Onset concert solo section
Welcome home Pretty Princess NittPicc, po! I hope you are having a wonderful Band Maid Sunday. This song takes a bit to digest, there is really a lot going on all at the same time, that is one of the reasons I like the "Unseen World" album so much. Please take very good care of yourself and I hope you have an amazing week.
First time I saw this...I'm like, it's the ACE OF MAIDS...THE ACE OF MAIDS!!! 🔥🤘🤘🤘
Another great reaction in the books. Thanks, NittPicc
"Misa is going ham, guys!" Just wait!
If I am remembering correctly, this song has more of MISA's contributions than most up until it was written. Besides her bass line and solo, she also did the original drum programming for Akane to work with. Kanami sent MISA a demo of just her guitar melody, and told MISA to try the rest.
Sorry for the detail, but it's "CHEMICAL REACTION" about the original drum programming, and MISA also came up with the guitar solo on "NO GOD" (source: USEN _encore_ interview).
@@zs9811 Not a problem. Thank you for the correction.
Great reaction, as per usual. Miku really got some thought provoking lyrics to go along with Kanami’s composition. Initially, the song started out as “Why pray when it seems like no one is listening.” Don’t we all feel like that sometimes? So, get up and get working because no one else is going to do it for you. But later, the lyrics seem to suggest that they believe in the story of Adam and Eve (and heaven since how can they love after they have passed.) In the case of Band Maid, they went thru some tough early years and maybe it seemed like their prayers to get to be successful was falling on deaf ears. But, if no one is listening to their prayers, then just work harder. However, their prayers were answered long before the band even formed. Each of them are world class talents and the best at their craft. The talent they possess was there at the very start. God answered their prayers even before they started. BUT….they now had their part to do….put in the hard work. That is why they seem so humble. The talent was given to them, but the success had to be earned. Anyway, that’s how I initially interpreted the lyrics. Miku is awesome and the band she put together is the greatest of all time. I wonder if she knew how good they would be at the start. Wonderful band, wonderful story. Thanks again for the reaction. I LOVE BAND MAID. ❤❤
God-tier Band-Maid song. Absolutely incredible.
9:25 this is my favorite part the just crazy riffs and misa pop pluck sound then misa bass solo then the kanami slow clear guitar and saiki beautiful vocals this was one I loved when they played it live saiki sang some who oh oh oh parts then she got the crowd to sing the parts it was a lot of fun ❤🤘🏻
Misa has been known to melt faces with her bass lines.
Hello there, nittpicc. This song takes me back to last year when I saw them live in Spokane. Such a phenomenal show. It was amazing. It was great to hear the song wise. It just was energetics. 10 out of 10 would go back to watch them again.
The lyrical line "Philosopher's questions tumble through my mind" provides the perspective for interpreting the lyrics in general.
Basically, it's a song about how someone can approach their life's good and bad experiences in the context of questioning whether some sort of "god" is involved in (or responsible for) the events of their life.
People can find EQUAL cause for despair in the proposition that, on the one hand, a supernatural entity exists which CAUSES harmful events to occur and, on the other hand, that there's NO such "god" to appeal to in the hope that it will PREVENT such harmful events.
Ultimately, the conclusion expressed in the lyrics is that people will experience despair in EITHER case, so the question of "Does a 'god' exist?" becomes IRRELEVANT.
Throughout your life you have to endure the experience of suffering from a hardship before eventually MOVING ON to better times. Whether a "god" is or isn't playing some sort of role in what has happened, or will happen, in your life can suddenly be seen to be pointless to consider once you realize that, regardless of what you end up believing, you will only ever have TWO options once your circumstances take a turn for the worst: allow the event to DEFEAT you (choosing a long or slow death), or struggle to GET PAST what is dragging you down and move on with your life (choosing to WIN the day).
Miku was on point the entire live-stream, she knocked it out of the park every song.
You'll see MISA switch here AND in "Onset" and Domination" LIVE.
there is an instrumental for sense where there are two cameras on akane the whole song. 1 is of her feet
I commented elsewhere that I could watch Akane just beat up the drums throughout a concert. But we need more close ups of the foot speed and the coordination. Another song that needs dozens of listens to take it all in.
Thanks for react my favorite song 🇯🇵🤘
Unseen World - The maximum squeaks per track album
Ignore the critics, you do you, genuine and awesome, my favourite reactor 🔥🔥🔥
Your ears are drawn to Akane’s drums, Kanami’s guitar, Misa’s bass, but never Miku’s rhythm guitar. It’s her guitar playing that allows Misa and Kanami to do so much more in these songs. Miku learned how to play guitar after forming the band, is a lead and backup singer, and writes most of the lyrics to the songs, not to mention she helps promote and manage the band. She’s without a doubt, the most underrated member of Band-Maid.
Mini is the rock. She created BAND-MAID. In my mind, she may blend in most of the time, but she is the most important person here. With her, there wouldn’t have been BM.
If this song has a different feel to it remember, Kanami created the original idea and then gave that to MISA and MISA wrote the song.
Nit that look on ur face when misa soloed is priceless u just made our day, pigeon on a trampoline alert po!
I am guessing the 1-2-3 How Be Long is somehow referring to their song Don't Be Long. Maybe "Be Long" in Japanese has a special meaning. Miku does inject references to previous songs/catch phrases in her lyrics. First in mind is "Just Bring It " in the song Domination.
1-2-3-4 Parking Lot!!
6:00 resting picc face.
Hello there, nittpicc. This song takes me back to last year when I saw them live in Spokane. Such a phenomenal show. It was amazing. It was great to hear the song wise. It just was energetics. 10 out of 10 would go back to watch them again. Oh and an anime recommendation if you haven’t seen it yet the anime is called your lie in April. If you haven’t seen it, I think you’ll enjoy it.
I was also at that show .
Cocerning No God my favourite version is the acoustic one! ❤
MISA MISA MISA!!!!!
Dead Kenneys meet Olivia Newton-John, plus so much more.
You will see the pick switch in the newest live version very well.
There is a white room instrumental version of this out there. They just removed the vocals.
Hola, NittPicc. The music teacher is unbeatable. 😎. The version of Twinkle twinkle little Star is a very old French song whose title is: "Ah, vous dirais-je maman.". I don't know what inspired Miku to write No God. A Maidiac surely knows that. Good react.
1-2-3-4 parking lot!
One of my absolute favourrites from them. I like all songs but i do have personal highlights^^ If you want a completely diff kind of band maid give " The Beauty and the Beast " a spin, caught me off guard in my playlist even though i listened to every album. XD
There is an official live video for this song, you should check that out too.
They keep you wanting more. And more I do, indeed, want! 🤘😄🤘
This needs a "crazy county fair on acid in kansas" MV.
Thanks
Ale of The Warning expressed admiration for the way that Misa can switch from picking to slapping and back again. Her way of hiding the pick instantly on the fly is something she uses a lot -- to excellent effect. Unfinished songs? Band-Maid leave you wanting more -- they never overstay their welcome. But you can always put their music on loop. Also: if it wasn't for this song, I would never have thought of Adam and Eve as a love story. Interesting take that Japanese culture has when it absorbs Western stories. The title "No God", I guess, needs to be seen through Japanese eyes -- Shinto gods. Think Miyazaki and his river gods, forest gods, etc.
I am Japanese, and even for me, these lyrics are complicated. But I think what the lyrics want to say is that you make your life by yourself, it's not God. You can think, believe and do what you want. You can go wherever you want, you can reach there if you wish. The song is saying that you can make your life as you want, I think.
There is a God, but he's not worried about my complaints and future. Thus, I must work myself to achieve my goals.
It's "How be long"
If you want to get a good shot of Misa hiding her pick you need to watch Onset. Correction, you must watch Onset anyway !
Yep why ask when you can demand.😂
Gotta ♥ the controlled chaos of this! MISA kills that bass solo! 😎 1, 2, 3, 4 Parking Lot! 😃
ahhhhh that 'WTF am I listening to' face? 😵💫 We've all been there our 1st time thru hearing this song 😊
If you want to see the "white room" instrumental to see MISA, watch the version which focuses on her. There are versions which focus on each instrumentalist.
I think Miku is saying "1-2-3-4 All day long!" But it sounds like "1-2-3-4 parking lot!" This has become a vocal meme among Maidiacs. Just another bit of humorous enjoyment for the BM community Po!
@@charlescoleman4017 Same as saiki sings "I know shoot the cavalry" at 0:29 in "Freedom" official live. Don't ask how i know these things, i haven't even told you what she sings in the "Afterlife" MV yet.🤣
Blasphemy, she clearly says 1234 parking lot! Po
@@polskabob359 🤣🤣🤣
@@GaryHolloway-810 Don't hold out on us! In Start Over, until recently when I saw the lyrics that say "Listen and talk, talk" I heard "they're selling duck, duck, du-uck"
@@charlescoleman4017 Haha. Ok "Afterlife" 1:33 "Show them my pussy". Stop it, Charles, stop it. Heeey you're checking.🤨😂
Yeah!
Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。 Kanami and Miku told an interesting story about this song in a Japanese Magazine "Headbang" vol. 28 [page 145] *** Summary *** (1) "No God" is the second song with modulation (key change) subsequent to "Cross" (2) Akane had eagerly wanted a new original song with key change for the band (3) Kanami composed "No God" and told Akane that this was the song she had been longing for (4) Akane completely forgot what she had said before but came to love this song although it requires a very tough work for the drummer. (She looks very happy in the video, as she always does) ******* I love the friendship within this band.
It has a "deal with this Frank Zappa" vibe to it.
I've read a couple of people saying it's "one, two, three, four, How be long" Which I'm coming to believe may be true. Though I'm not sure what it means, english/japanese translations can be strange sometimes.
Guess I should have waited to the end of the vid, you found the same info :)
You can see MISA swap from pick to slap at 5:27 and again at 9:14
💜💛❤💙💚
Hope you put the rest of the reaction on YT later on.
1-2-3-4- Parking Lot!!!!!!
NittPicc , Thanks for doing No God , but you should have done the Tokyo Gardens version , as you saw in this version the lights go down during MISA`s solo and you can`t see MISA do here pick trick , but in your intro your subscribers on RUclips get the online version , but your Patrons get the Tokyo gardens version , sorry all of us can`t be patrons of you channel , should have done the same video on both .
This is the best live version of it of the two
@@jamiebennison6921 That's your opinion fine .
“no god” is a wild, almost disjointed musical frenzy. One thing you must know is that this is the JAM in the live setting. It’s where everyone jumps, and cheers, and “whoa oh oh ohs” like crazy people. That’s what “no god” serves in the Band Maid catalog.
On the “mysterious” Miku lyric. I don’t claim perfection; but I have done Maidiac/Nerd-worthy research on this.
1) “1 2 3 4, Parking Lot!” Is the fun, accepted inside joke amongst fans. When in doubt? This is it.
2) “1 2 3 4 How be long”. As you said, the translation on the CD. However, there are two reasons why I don’t accept this translation. One, the notoriously difficult and often incorrect translation history in Band Maid lyrics. And two, the words make no sense in English or in context of the song.
3) My independent research has found a more sensible, believable lyric. “1 2 3 4 は皆!” Or Romanized, “1 2 3 4, Wa mina!” Translated? “1 2 3 4, Everyone!”
Those are what I honestly believe are the words Miku sings. But I’ll never stop cheering “Parking Lot!” ❤
Dawn Winery is a remake of a of song that is performed by a flute.
🤘🤘🤘
Who would actually think Mozart wrote _Twinkle?_ Someone who's never heard Mozart, I guess.
I feel like the Japanese like to leave a little bit of unresolved tension at the end of a song - either a sudden ending, or a chord progression that doesn't resolve, or whatever. Although I mostly get that impression from anime OPs, so it might be a deliberate decision to leave the OP "unfinished" so that it feels like it leads into the episode? IDK.
This is where we say "excuse me what?"
lol, for the first time! (Personally, for me) The 1, 2, 3, 4 question came about! :P~~
😎🙏
1234 Parking Lot, Po! 🕊️
😂😂
Actually, it’s “1234 How be long”😊
Heresy!
Once you hear it, you can't unhear it! 🙂
1,2,3,4 Parking Lot for the Believers - If you know, you know.
@@HaroMatsuRestartedblasphemy po! Miku clearly says 1234 parking lot!
I used to be part of the '1 2 3 4 Parking Lot' community, but lately I have switched to the '1 2 3 4 Don't be long' subculture ;) hehe
Blasphemy! Miku clearly says 1234 parking lot! Po
OMNG! As awesome as it is, I don't know why they released a second OMV of No God & Sense, or even Puzzle from this Tokyo Garden concert rather than the better, imo, 2017 Studio Coast version. Thx, Nitt Picc for Piccing this second best Covid online live version! 🤘😂
Maybe it will show my age, but everytime I heard the intro reprise after the first chorus and in the outro, I can't stop thinking of the original TMNT theme song from the 80's ^^' (surely it's the sound of Miku's guitar).
Also, I love the way Akane look towards the end of Misa's solo, I gently call it the "swiming puppy" look, especially with how she hit her drums at this moment.
But yeah, like a lot of song from these album and their next EP, they're so much to listen in this song, either it is Misa, the harmonies or just Miku in the background, theire so much to love, classic band maid after all.
Thanks, that was a great reaction. I must admit I prefer songs like No God over other stuff they've done recently, so this reaction was a great opportunity to get back to the good stuff. I never thought I'd say this, but I really wouldn't mind if they'd drop the maid clothes and get back to all rock...
1, 2, 3, 4, PARKING LOT! XD
1-2-3-4 Parking Lot!!!!! 🎌🎸🎆🤭
1234 parking lot!
Hay sayangku mkin cantik aja 💋
Why would anyone have a song called "No God"?? Are they nihilists?
How b long is bullshit, i have the cd theres not translation in it theres cc of it in the 2 official live videos anywhere , does it make sense either argument how b long or parking lot , no but would miku throw a joke/pun into the song , the answer is clearly yes , miku clearly says 1234 parking lot , im gonna make a sign n bring to next show , hold it up when miku says 1234 parking lot n record it , if she stumbles when she sees it well have our answer, 1234 parking lot! Po
This song doesn't really have the bumblebee sound. If you want to hear that. Check out their song H-G-K.
i like band-maid sunday.
I believe these lyrics were written during covid19. That's why we have words like no god, why me, and go to win. So I think it's 1234 how be long.
i used google. english difficult.
