In one early year, they performed live over 100 times. And they drove themselves and set up and took down their own equipment. Speaks to their work ethic.
Maid culture started as a branch of cosplay, when girls wished to dress in cute clothes. Maid imagery has been around Japanese pop culture for decades.
In Japan most young people live on their own and work most of the time to do so. Even their parents probably weren't wealthy enough to have servants. So they can go to a Maid Cafe and have pretty maids welcome them after a hard day. Yeah, it's fantasy but as fantasies go, it's a pretty good one.
Actually they were not writing their songs while Miku was the lead singer. Their songs were mostly pop-punk and written by outside song-writer so the music back then were a bit more commercial and formulaic. They began writing their song in 2016.
I listened with great interest 😊 You passed the exam 😂 I don't know if it will be useful for anyone who wants to know who are BAND-MAID, for me the only takeaway was "It's a great band, the guy is impressed with them very much. And they worked with The Warning, another great band this guy is impressed with." 😂 But it's a nice video. It's important for us as social beings to see that someone in the industry is impressed with certain bands.
Hahaha yeah, this honestly was more for me. I found myself think ah man I wish I knew more about this or that regarding the band, so I just bit the bullet and made a mini video essay about them. The end about the colab with The Warning was just a cool inside look at how bands work together.
Japanese names do not necessarily emphasize the first syllable in three+ syllable names. So. Ah-kah-neh Hee-ro-seh Kah-nah-mee Tono Technically Saiki is Sah-ee-kee (At-soo-mee) but in practice, everyone slurs it to two syllables, Sigh-kee, which somehow seems appropriate. I'm using western convention of individual+surname but of course in Japan the order is reversed. Miku Kobato is a stage name to avoid confusing her rock identity with her real (?) name used in earlier small acting roles and in the J-pop trio "Li'l Cumin," Mika Noguchi. Kobato means a small pigeon, which we call a dove. But pigeon is funnier in onstage patter, so she went with that. And the name has a value in Japanese numerology of 810, so she has the scenario of being an 810 year old pigeon, currently appearing in human form. So she uses the Japanese expression for the call of a dove/pigeon "karuppo" and often punctuates statements with the abbreviation "po!" Miku is a trip. They all have their quirks and their schtick. "Ohrenje" channel has a series of videos giving the histories of the individual members and it's quite good.
Here is some info that should help you with future pronunciations. My observation is that when Japanese is written out in Romaji or Romanized text, the vowel sounds are always pronounced this same way... A is aah like a doctor is examining your throat. (say aah) E is eh like in the word bet. I is eee like in the word see. O is oh like in the word so. U is ooo like in the scary word boo.

The new song "Zen" will be released on January 13th!

Thanks for the recap of their career, hope this helps spread the word about this wonderful band.
Who are Band-Maid? Only THE best Hard Rock band on Earth.

Always puzzled by confusion regarding their maid's outfits. Costumes have always been a part of performing groups.

It's Show Them
You spent most of the time talking about one atypical song out of 140+ and then got the title wrong, it's Show Them.
