Right on! It's good to see the maids back on the channel. And as always a great breakdown and review. There are a few live versions of Dice performed in front if an audience that are produced from the band as part of a blu-ray (not fan cam). There is also an online live version without an audience which was released over a week ago. It is combined along side with a live version of their single DIFFERENT" (written for the anime log horizon) You should find it on their official channel.
AKANE and MISA went to Tokyo University of Music together - AKANE has played with MISA in another band before BAND MAID. They were MAID for each other!! AKANE also plays the piano and trombone MISA played guitar before switching to bass.
Another good reaction Dave! Always nice to hear a reactor who knows what they are talking about. A couple of responses to your comments. Saiki's vocals- her vocals seem to be improving as time goes by. Her range and power are even more impressive now compared to when this song was released. Everyone loves Misa- I never really listened to bass much until I discovered this band. She's my all time favourite bass player. Just slightly ahead of JPJ and Geddy. 9 is a very fair score. Thanks Dave
Thank you for the reaction and glad you like it! There is live version of the song in a 2 song live MV just dropped a week ago pairing up with another song different. Looking at latest, there is single called sense which just came out with MV this week. This one is no live but highly recommended as well. Rock on!
Happy to see you back with our MAIDs. This should be to your liking (writing before watching your review). This song is an MV classic for the girls. The video is awesome, the song is awesome, Akane (the gorilla) is a beat genius, Kanmi's arrangements are killer. The only thing you may fault are the dolls :p . Typical BAND MAID ending ;) . Leaves you wanting more ... always. BIG PROPS for getting all the names right!
Very fair review. It’s a solid song, and Band-Maid isn’t going to ever blow you away with individual technical prowess. They work really well together and that is what is more impressive. Btw, you pronounced all their names great.
The subtitles also make you realise how much of it is actually being sung in English. I'd caught the "May I take your order?" line at the end of the chorus but not the rest!
This is one of their very first real Band-Maid songs, and the first song of theirs that I ever heard. I was hooked right away. There is a "smile" phenomenon that not everyone is susceptible to: the chorus made me smile broadly every time I heard it! That is a very weird response in my experience! hahaha...Great score and review, Dave!
Another great reaction David. That riff is definitely my favourite part of the song. And 9.0 is a good score, well deserved. Bandmaid just has a plethora of great songs.
There is a song I wanted you to check out from these girls but the live one was been pulled down so all that is left is the official video. Band-maid has a power ballad you should check out. BAND-MAID / Daydreaming (Official Music Video) . The song (too me) has a U2 vibe
Thx David you remembered Kanami's name. She cries every time a reactor forgets & i have to collect her tears in a tiny bottle. They have magical powers :)
I've been collecting their saliva from the last few dinners I've had with them. For example, I just put a double chocolate lava cake in front of Kanami and let her drool into my collection tube.🧪 Now, I'm not saying specifically what I'm going to do with the specimens but I'll just say this: in the future, when the Maids are gone, don't be surprised to see a new band of very young Maids come on the music scene... BABY-MAIDS! 🥚🥚🥚🥚🐣
@@TomClark-Futoura MISA is the Choc freak I thought, one of those tour video's they did when they selected their sweets from a patisserie MISA went straight for the Mars Block
I love the rhythmic cadence and structure of the vocals on Dice. I don't have a grasp of Japanese, but like how the rhythm of the vocals interacts with the rest of the music. The vocals in this particular song have a definite pop punk feel to them. Band-Maid also sneaks in some rhythmic stuff from Japanese EDM, Anisong & rap without being very obvious about it. There's a lot of vocal experimentation over on that side of things. A hard rock group like Passcode is a whole lot more blatant about borrowing from that side of Japanese pop. (FYI: Not a passcode fan. It hasn't clicked for me.) Band-Maid is a lot more subtle about integrating things into their sound.
David, there is another site that has a lot of Band-Maid live videos that aren't on RUclips. Unfortunately, RUclips seems to take down comments mentioning it (even without the full URL). If you want, I can email it to you.
Nice breakdown. As my first Band-Maid song now you can see how they sucked me in. And I haven't missed a day listening to Band-Maid since. For me this is Band-Maid at their best, certainly with no disrespect for their just released songs which are fantastic. They have amazing synergy and are as tight live as in the studio. Band-Maid is effin Awesome. Peace.
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! Thx, David!
@@seppukun208 With Saiki's and Miku's strong accents, most of what they sing -- if you don't speak Japanese or pull up their lyrics, still remains a mystery. But with their awesome music, does it really matter?
I wouldn't say this is my "in" song for Band-Maid yet, but it's definitely the best one I've heard so far. Still not something I'd listen to regularly, though. I'd put it just above DIFFERENT (that song I mentioned on an earlier video that was from the anime Log Horizon, Season 3). A solid 8 or so for me.
A great score from you with this one. You are getting good with these Japanese bands names. I only see a fraction of your reactions so don't beat your self up about remembering names as you must have many to recall. Kanami, performs one of those agonising short solos which always leaves you wanting more. There is a 'live' version on RUclips but it was from a live stream and you are one of the few people who understands what that entails.
David if you loved this song you need to check the new song Sense. Is definetly a prog/hard rock/punk/something hahaha. Anyway, you will be blown and you will love that song
Cool comments, it just shows their skill and talent as musicians and Kanami as the composer giving room to the other band members to add the Band Maid spice.
You have to put the new song Sense in the poll it should win hands down. It’s awesome. This song is a great rocking tune and they just released the live version about a month ago. You’ll love it. Btw nice job remembering there names lol. 9.0 is a great score for this song. Rock on brother and say Hi to the Mrs. we need another wife review
Hello! Thank you for the video!Please pay attention to the young singer Diana Ankudinova.Make reactions to the songs of Wicked game, CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE, Human🌞🌞🌞DIANA ANKUDINOVA is a talented young singer. I would like to know your opinion. I think you will be surprised. Diana has a very unusual voice and artistic presentation for her age.🌹🌹🌹 Thanks in advance
one of the MAIDS best from 2018. the change ups are sick and are a kanami specialty. just love their earlier stuff [2013 - 2018 }. you need to check out LOVEBITES latest live from 2021 called 'set the world on fire'. don't know if you have been sent a link yet but you won't want to miss this :ruclips.net/video/99zsH6iG_6c/видео.html
The new online (Day of The Maid) version makes it sound reminiscent of Led Zeppelin. Give it listen. Try NO GOD from that live concert. This is pretty basic but a good introduction piece.
Nice review - Little late posting but if you want some reassurance you aren't being steered wrong on the pronunciation of Saiki you can hear Miku herself say it in this fun little clip: ruclips.net/video/Zu3kkzWf7qU/видео.html It's fan footage on a mobile phone (but decent quality) of a part of the show known as "Miku's Magic Time" where Miku leads the audience in a chant that is supposed to be a magic spell (played for laughs). In this particular performance filmed when they were playing a club in London circa 2018, the rest of the band is hanging out by the drums with Saiki sitting in Akane's seat - under encouragement from the others, Saiki starts trolling Miku by kicking the bass drum along with her chant. This leads to some back and forth between Miku and the audience about "Saiki Drummer" followed by an impromptu drumming competition with Saiki, Kanami, Misa and Miku all taking turns.
Looking for anything bad in a Band-Maid song? I don't think Kanami is capable of composing bad music and the other 4 ladies probably would not release a song they can't play the way Kanami arranged it. And Akane can play this and much harder songs live and just as crisp.
Eternally entertaining and informative. Thanks man!
Right on! It's good to see the maids back on the channel. And as always a great breakdown and review.

Loved this reaction, you actually looked disappointed that you couldn't catch them out! 😁
Thanks David. Always appreciate your work.
My go-to song for a very long time when introducing people to Band-Maid. It has a very high success rate 😊
You chose well Jonas. You chose well :)
@@grayholloway4704 Thx Gar... Gra.. umm.. Guhh... Mr. Holloway! 😊
This is always my first recommendation for new listeners.
@@Jonas_S_ Gary, Gray....it doesn't matter anymore thx to YT. At least you didn't call me Yarg.😆
@@grayholloway4704 Not this time, no 😄

As always job well done by your self. You mentioned that this made sense to you. That just happens to be the title of there latest release "Sense"
Thanks for reaction! Band-Maid is my favourite. Love them all.

It's 3:45am here. I'm up so early & the first thing i did was listen to "Hibana". I think i'm turning into a Maidiac or something :)
@@grayholloway4704 There is no cure. You just have to tough it out ;) .

Thanks , one of my favourite Band Maid songs
Recently released live version of this is brilliant comes with subtitles too very interesting lyrics
It's on the Band-Maid official channel, marked Oct 23, 2021, paired with 'Different'.
@@cyberpotato63 well said I forgot that bit

Can't wait until you hear more off of the Unseen World album. Some craziness in there.
All your names and pronounciations were spot on. Dice is classic Band Maid and a killer track.

As others mentioned their new song, "Sense" is a whirlwind.
Congrats on the shout out.👍
@@grayholloway4704 thanks. and thanks again for the work on Okarei.
@@bartyslattfast No worries, glad you liked it :)
Thx David you remembered Kanami's name. She cries every time a reactor forgets & i have to collect her tears in a tiny bottle. They have magical powers :)
lol it's funny cos it's true
Do those tears turn into konpeito? And have you seen the anime Kobato?

You tried soooo hard to find flaws but this song is bulletproof. It’s one of my favorites of theirs. Fun, fun song. At least a 9.5 for me.
Solid 9.99 for me. Might as well round it up to a 10 XD First song I heard from them... fell in love with them within 10 seconds

@@seppukun208 With Saiki's and Miku's strong accents, most of what they sing -- if you don't speak Japanese or pull up their lyrics, still remains a mystery. But with their awesome music, does it really matter?

Awesome!! And trust me...you can get some MISAtisfaction from their live track 'No God'.
Akane and Misa. You've been doing your homework.
edit: Miku and Kanami. Full marks.
I'm trying, I suck with names....takes me a while but I'll eventually get it.
He got Saiki too!
Band-Maid does in 4 minutes what takes Tool 15 years.
