I just wanted to address the slight audio issues with this video. I tried a new microphone and it picked up a lot of background noise. Apologies in advance! Thanks for watching!
My opinion is that Band-Maid are one of the best bands to have formed in the past 15 years, and are currently one of the best rock and roll bands on the planet. They play many genres and styles including ballads, power ballads, pop, rock, progressive rock, hard rock, punk, metal, nu metal, and everything before in-between and beyond. They also have several great instrumental songs that they use live to give their lead singer a break. Band-Maid are five extremely talented Japanese ladies... Misa [mee-sah] (Barefoot Assassin) - Bass Guitar Miku [mee-kuu] (Small Pigeon) - Rhythm Guitar, Vocals, Lyricist, Band Founder Akane [aah-kah-neh] (Gorilla or A-Chan) - Drums Saiki [sigh-kee] (The Queen or Sai-Chan) - Lead Vocals Kanami [kah-nah-mee] (Mincho) - Lead Guitar, Songwriter Some Band-Maid song suggestions for you are Moratorium, No God, Rinne, Onset, From Now On, Without Holding Back, About Us, Play, Why Why Why, Clang, and Matchless Gum. Their latest live videos from Yokohama Arena are incredible. Don't You Tell Me and Hate are straight up bangers with guitar vs bass duels, and Endless Story is a tear jerker that even choked up the singer, Saiki, and the drummer, Akane, since it was the last song of their 10th year anniversary tour. If you listen to a song that you are not fond of then try something else because their songs are quite different from one to the other. Have fun with it!
Band-Maid will be your dream band because they are one of the best hard rock bands on this planet right now. I suggest "Shambles" (MV) and "HATE?" (live) for your next Band-Maid reaction. They have over 100 good songs and no bad one. Enjoy your happy Band-Maid journey, PO!🕊💕
Thanks from Japan 有難う 💛。 Band-Maid is one of the best bands in our country, especially in live performance. I witnessed the live debut of this song 😍 that was played as the encore & finale of the special concert by Band-Maid & The Warning on June 12 in Roppongi, Tokyo . My seat was located on the 2nd floor but in the center meaning in front of the two drummers. I was in bliss! It looked to me that Paulina and Akane literally and happily competed like a duel to see which drummer can kick harder enough to break their bass drum in the joint performance. 🤣 (FYI : In the special concert, The Warning, who opened as the special guest, performed so powerful that the Maids were fired up to start their turn with fullest energy as the hostess band. It was fun like a kind of martial arts between two fighters respecting each other. 😄)

There's so much that can be said about The Warning and their massive impact on the international music scene. But since you are learning more about the Maids, here's my intro blurb for those who may be new to Band-Maid: Welcome, AJ. You are embarking on (along with many others - over 210 million views just on their official YT channel, plus over 40 million reactor plays!) an awesome, progressive, hard-rock journey with 5 incredible women.
BAND-MAID’s songs and sound beat with the heart and soul of all rockers. But you’ll also hear heavy influences of Prog, Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Jazz, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Joy of Playing, Consistency (130+ songs), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destined for mega-stardom. Each member's personalities are super interesting and their musicianship among the best. Their writing, arrangements and overall sound, especially guitar tones and drums, are kick-ass! Having seen them LIVE, I can honestly say their performance, sound, stage appearance, and band synergy is off-the-rails spectacular! Band-Maid is the only band in decades where I love nearly EVERY song they’ve done. I have over 70 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: ruclips.net/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/видео.html Their songs from albums Unleash, Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Hate?, Shambles, Influencer, Warning, No God, Different, Black Hole, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Don’t You Tell Me, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Choose Me, I Can’t Live Without You, and on and on. But don’t miss out on their powerful, beautifully written, mid-tempo songs like Daydreaming, Bestie, About Us, Memorable, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, At The Drop Of A Hat, Mirage and Smile... or more punky like After Life, Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like Manners and The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or a bit jazzy like Wonderland… or progressive like No God, Giovanni, and Black Hole… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like From Now On, Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts… or their many acoustic versions like Catharsis and Sayonakidori... and last but not least, their Anime hits (AniMaid) like Protect You, Sense, Different, Glory and Unleash!!!!! (from their own Anime MV (series?)): ruclips.net/video/7LB_EPS48HE/видео.html) And many songs are represented with over 50 well produced music videos. ruclips.net/user/BANDMAID Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYUJI concerts: 2023 Yokohama 10th Year Anniversary Concert “Endless Story” ruclips.net/video/Za1y-RRVd70/видео.html ONLINE OKYU-JI (Feb. 11, 2021) “No God” ruclips.net/video/nAdWnIRjGak/видео.html Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA (February 14, 2020) “Domination” ruclips.net/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/видео.html ZEPP 2018 “Real Existence” ruclips.net/video/-qQnKILR5u0/видео.html Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 and other full concerts are on bandmaidprime.tokyo, bili, and official Band-Maid’s DVD/BD/CD. And some of the better quality fan videos are excellent. Here’s two of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at an intimate venue: Shot by Pat McKee from their 2023 US tour concert in Detroit: ruclips.net/video/DgxU-MVjta0/видео.html See the Maids 2023 Rockville Festival’s short-set perfection performance: ruclips.net/video/vjZkNeoGmhc/видео.html If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, live streams, CD, DVD/BD & merch, etc. bandmaid.tokyo Like most Band-Maid songs, I like them from the get-go but really start to appreciate them after more hearings and seeing their LIVE videos. I'll go back and see an older song like YOLO, Order, Shake That, Freezer, Don’t Let Me Down, Before Yesterday, Real Existence, Non Fiction Days and Alone, etc. and realize there's no band that can consistently construct and play like Band-Maid. For fun, check out: "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009 Band-Maid MIDI covers: www.youtube.com/@DeanF_MIDI Reimagined compositions of Band-Maid songs: www.youtube.com/@fxdxmusic Band-Maid Members: Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “StarQueen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 30 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away her sometimes perceived, coldish persona. Saiki’s powerhouse performances, charisma, and voice focus the experience that’s driven her to the top echelon of hard rock frontwomen... or frontmen! Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 32 years old. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR SpokesPigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. Kuruppo! No, no, no… KURUPPO!! Kanami Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 32 years old, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want from Mincho is more! Akane Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, 33 years old, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) while revolutionizing rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumZilla” is the Party! MISA (Me-Sa) "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass, 31 years old. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin literally kills it… every note... uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA! MISA! Maidiacs (Maid-e-acts) - Band-Maid’s crazed yet supportive, knowledgeable and loyal Super Fans. [BAND-MAID NEWS] BAND-MAID PRIME - Special Video Distribution Website. Along with nearly 50 great play-through’s by each member, concerts and skits, Band-Maid management / label(s) have included the Acoustic Christmas 2021, ZEPP 2018 and Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 concerts! Fans can now see more than 50 great live performances with awesome audio, etc. like Fate, I Can't Live Without You and the great MISA / Kanami exchange in Don't You Tell Me. Those concerts are two of the best produced & performed concerts ever recorded, IMO. bandmaidprime.tokyo The Maids SOLD OUT 2023 US & Mexico tour wrapped up and was a fantastic success.

Their music, their sound, each of the Maids, and the love that permeates their live events is an experience not to be missed. Hope you can catch them LIVE!
Wow! Thank you for all the information! I will definitely keep this comment handy for future reaction videos! I haven't been to a concert in a long time, but I'd love to see this band some day in the future 🤘😎🤘
Since you have not heard of Band-Maid yet, check out some of their songs like "Real Existence Live", "Warning MV", "Rinne MV", "Dice MV", "Blooming MV", "Domination Live", etc. Thanks for the reaction... great song by both bands!!
Welcome to Band-Maid .... P.S. that Band-Maid shredder? ... That's Kanami Tono, calling her a 'shredder' is like calling Mozart 'a piano player'! ;-) You're going to love Band-Maid!
Welcome to Band Maid! The best hard rock band on the planet (imo of course, and obviously The Warning are also awesome) You should check them out live, they’re fantastic. I’d recommend Hate? Live, Domination Live, Moratorium Live. Enjoy. If you want screams, check out Hanabie We Love Sweets, you’ll be entertained.
W I N !!!!! 🎀 W I N !!!⚡I think we can just say, at their level, Band-Maid and The Warning are equal peers at the very top of the "Rock" pile. I’ve watched “Show Them” 50 times now and still haven’t been able to drop my eyes down to the lyrics.🤘😂 Thx, AJ! Btw -- I was just thinking: Band-Maid and The Warning, two very different bands, found something that would bring them together -- music! If only the people of the world could find something that would bring them together. I know... if peace and prosperity isn't enough, how about uniting for the very survival of our species! 🤔
I love this comment! It's so true. Music is a very powerful force. Some people think "oh it's just music" 🙄 It has singlehandedly led me out of the darkest moments in my life. We need world peace 🤘😎🤘
You said Kanami ( Band Maid lead guitar ) is good? Lots of guitar players around are good, but this girl is the best female guitar player in the world!!! Check out some more Band Maid songs and you will see yourself! Thanks for your reaction.
I love both these bands =) They both get heavier Band-Maid has an acoustic album and a traditional CD as well ! I would suggest "Real Existence or "HATE?" for BM ! The Warning's "Evolve" MV or "Money" MV ! Thanks Great Reaction
Cool reaction.👍 I'm sure the "Maidiac" nation will be quick to recommend the best Band-Maid videos... I'd rather recommend some of the other awesome Japanese girl bands: NEMOPHILA, "Seize The Fate" LIVE: ruclips.net/video/yyKGK1Se4bo/видео.htmlsi=fmQPZ_KVKxsGcjnT DOLL$BOXX, "Shout Down" LIVE: ruclips.net/video/SpI4ZI71oXY/видео.htmlsi=496j29NV9Kd9dEBi KOIAI, "A New Picture" LIVE: ruclips.net/video/rX6SP5bQZH8/видео.htmlsi=n3ZJKhIvnOyQMVRW LOVEBITES, "Holly War" LIVE: ruclips.net/video/bgAxpEpEcno/видео.htmlsi=HU-svqy8ARCu2sXB GACHARIC SPIN, "Tamashii" LIVE: ruclips.net/video/Jt7-GGRa3nc/видео.htmlsi=MCcsB78g7n2zKxkU
Thanks for nice reaction and for support the Band Maid and The Warning . However, If you like strictly metal music, there is another fantastic all -female Japanese band called Lovebites, five ladies extremely talented and skillful. I suggest you take a look at their YT channel where you will find all the videos you want, even the very recent ones (I recommend "Soldier stands solitarily" LIVE). Personally I am a fan of both Band Maid and Lovebites, according to their different musical genre
I just wanted to address the slight audio issues with this video. I tried a new microphone and it picked up a lot of background noise. Apologies in advance! Thanks for watching!
My opinion is that Band-Maid are one of the best bands to have formed in the past 15 years, and are currently one of the best rock and roll bands on the planet. They play many genres and styles including ballads, power ballads, pop, rock, progressive rock, hard rock, punk, metal, nu metal, and everything before in-between and beyond. They also have several great instrumental songs that they use live to give their lead singer a break.
Band-Maid are five extremely talented Japanese ladies...
Misa [mee-sah] (Barefoot Assassin) - Bass Guitar
Miku [mee-kuu] (Small Pigeon) - Rhythm Guitar, Vocals, Lyricist, Band Founder
Akane [aah-kah-neh] (Gorilla or A-Chan) - Drums
Saiki [sigh-kee] (The Queen or Sai-Chan) - Lead Vocals
Kanami [kah-nah-mee] (Mincho) - Lead Guitar, Songwriter
Some Band-Maid song suggestions for you are Moratorium, No God, Rinne, Onset, From Now On, Without Holding Back, About Us, Play, Why Why Why, Clang, and Matchless Gum. Their latest live videos from Yokohama Arena are incredible. Don't You Tell Me and Hate are straight up bangers with guitar vs bass duels, and Endless Story is a tear jerker that even choked up the singer, Saiki, and the drummer, Akane, since it was the last song of their 10th year anniversary tour.
If you listen to a song that you are not fond of then try something else because their songs are quite different from one to the other. Have fun with it!
Awesome, thank you so much for taking the time to write. I'll be checking out more of their music soon! 🤘😎🤘
Band-Maid will be your dream band because they are one of the best hard rock bands on this planet right now.
I suggest "Shambles" (MV) and "HATE?" (live) for your next Band-Maid reaction.
They have over 100 good songs and no bad one.
Enjoy your happy Band-Maid journey, PO!🕊💕
I second that!
Hell yea! Thank you for that! 🤘😎🤘

Amazing!! Thank you for the info. That is so cool you got to experience that! Thank you for the suggestions.
There's so much that can be said about The Warning and their massive impact on the international music scene. But since you are learning more about the Maids, here's my intro blurb for those who may be new to Band-Maid:
Welcome, AJ. You are embarking on (along with many others - over 210 million views just on their official YT channel, plus over 40 million reactor plays!) an awesome, progressive, hard-rock journey with 5 incredible women.

Band-Maid is the only band in decades where I love nearly EVERY song they’ve done. I have over 70 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: ruclips.net/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/видео.html Their songs from albums Unleash, Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Hate?, Shambles, Influencer, Warning, No God, Different, Black Hole, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Don’t You Tell Me, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Choose Me, I Can’t Live Without You, and on and on.
But don’t miss out on their powerful, beautifully written, mid-tempo songs like Daydreaming, Bestie, About Us, Memorable, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, At The Drop Of A Hat, Mirage and Smile... or more punky like After Life, Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like Manners and The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or a bit jazzy like Wonderland… or progressive like No God, Giovanni, and Black Hole… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like From Now On, Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts… or their many acoustic versions like Catharsis and Sayonakidori... and last but not least, their Anime hits (AniMaid) like Protect You, Sense, Different, Glory and Unleash!!!!! (from their own Anime MV (series?)): ruclips.net/video/7LB_EPS48HE/видео.html)
And many songs are represented with over 50 well produced music videos. ruclips.net/user/BANDMAID
Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYUJI concerts:

And some of the better quality fan videos are excellent. Here’s two of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at an intimate venue:

If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, live streams, CD, DVD/BD & merch, etc. bandmaid.tokyo
Like most Band-Maid songs, I like them from the get-go but really start to appreciate them after more hearings and seeing their LIVE videos. I'll go back and see an older song like YOLO, Order, Shake That, Freezer, Don’t Let Me Down, Before Yesterday, Real Existence, Non Fiction Days and Alone, etc. and realize there's no band that can consistently construct and play like Band-Maid.

The Maids are one of the hardest working supergroups in the business! Their music, their sound, each of the Maids, and the love that permeates their live events is an experience not to be missed. Hope you can catch them LIVE!
Wow! Thank you for all the information! I will definitely keep this comment handy for future reaction videos! I haven't been to a concert in a long time, but I'd love to see this band some day in the future 🤘😎🤘

You have about 100 Band-Maid songs to react to - all of them great.
Any in particular you would like to see? 😁
Band-Maid and The Warning just jamming, having fun. BAND-MAID / HATE? (Official Live Video)
I will check it out soon 🤘😎🤘
Since you have not heard of Band-Maid yet, check out some of their songs like "Real Existence Live", "Warning MV", "Rinne MV", "Dice MV", "Blooming MV", "Domination Live", etc. Thanks for the reaction... great song by both bands!!
Agreed! There is a lot of talent here! Thank you for the suggestions!
I second the suggestions all are in my top 10 Band-Maid songs !
Welcome to Band-Maid .... P.S. that Band-Maid shredder? ... That's Kanami Tono, calling her a 'shredder' is like calling Mozart 'a piano player'! ;-) You're going to love Band-Maid!
Haha she is awesome! Thanks for tuning in! 🙏
Check Band Maid!!! You will enjoy. Check they official live video Hate? 😉
Will do! Thank you.
Welcome to Band Maid! The best hard rock band on the planet (imo of course, and obviously The Warning are also awesome)
You should check them out live, they’re fantastic. I’d recommend Hate? Live, Domination Live, Moratorium Live.
Enjoy.
If you want screams, check out Hanabie We Love Sweets, you’ll be entertained.
Awesome! Thank you so much! 🤘😎🤘
W I N !!!!! 🎀 W I N !!!⚡I think we can just say, at their level, Band-Maid and The Warning are equal peers at the very top of the "Rock" pile. I’ve watched “Show Them” 50 times now and still haven’t been able to drop my eyes down to the lyrics.🤘😂 Thx, AJ! Btw -- I was just thinking: Band-Maid and The Warning, two very different bands, found something that would bring them together -- music! If only the people of the world could find something that would bring them together. I know... if peace and prosperity isn't enough, how about uniting for the very survival of our species! 🤔
I love this comment! It's so true. Music is a very powerful force. Some people think "oh it's just music" 🙄 It has singlehandedly led me out of the darkest moments in my life. We need world peace 🤘😎🤘

You said Kanami ( Band Maid lead guitar ) is good? Lots of guitar players around are good, but this girl is the best female guitar player in the world!!! Check out some more Band Maid songs and you will see yourself! Thanks for your reaction.
Of course! She is more than good. I was blown away! I look forward to hearing more!
Brad Maid is a deep rabbit hole. .. have fun
🤘TWA
🤘😎🤘
I love both these bands =) They both get heavier Band-Maid has an acoustic album and a traditional CD as well ! I would suggest "Real Existence or "HATE?" for BM ! The Warning's "Evolve" MV or "Money" MV ! Thanks Great Reaction
Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed it! I just posted a video on "Hate?" That was a great song!
🕊️⚡🎶
🤘😎🤘
The Warning is 💯%🔥🔥🔥&⚡⚡⚡
100 % agree 🤘😎🤘
Cool reaction.👍
I'm sure the "Maidiac" nation will be quick to recommend the best Band-Maid videos... I'd rather recommend some of the other awesome Japanese girl bands:
NEMOPHILA, "Seize The Fate" LIVE:

DOLL$BOXX, "Shout Down" LIVE:

KOIAI, "A New Picture" LIVE:

GACHARIC SPIN, "Tamashii" LIVE:

Wow, thank you! I'll be checking some of those out soon!
Thanks for nice reaction and for support the Band Maid and The Warning . However, If you like strictly metal music, there is another fantastic all -female Japanese band called Lovebites, five ladies extremely talented and skillful. I suggest you take a look at their YT channel where you will find all the videos you want, even the very recent ones (I recommend "Soldier stands solitarily" LIVE). Personally I am a fan of both Band Maid and Lovebites, according to their different musical genre
Awesome, Thank you for the heads up. I will check out Lovebites soon! :)
Check out dice by band maid such a good song
I will! Thank you for the suggestion 🤘😎🤘
