PLAY was initially made as an instrumental song, but Saiki liked the song and wanted to make it as a crowd oriented song. So she asked Miku to write lyrics for it. Btw, Without Holding Back is my #1 fave instrumental song, and From Now On is #2😉
Is that why it's called "Giovanni"? Because the original composer's name is "Giovanni"? Like when y'all say WHB I have zero clue what you're talking about LOL
They don’t hide GIRLYINESS, don’t wear pierces, neither tattoos, IN ORDER TO SHOW OFF their talents. They show us what and how much they can do to us through MUSIC. And, this is the reason why their performance brings you big smiles on your faces, and which is happening to everybody else in the world.
A great triple dip. All their instrumentals are outstanding. I can't get enough of FROM NOW ON right now. PLAY was originally going to be an instrumental but Saiki wanted in on it so Miku threw some lyrics together for her. No egos in this band for sure. That's another reason BAND-MAID are Awesome. Peace. 258
Nice!! I'm not sure if I have a favorite BM song yet. I think it's too soon to tell! But for sure, "Without Holding Back" is my favorite all instrumental!
Without Holding Back was on a bonus DVD/Bluray on the Unseen World Limited edition. Likely why it's not on their channel, but has been released on their Band-Maid Prime streaming service. The Bluray version is cool as you can select a member to watch and just focus on them and switch it around.
I love all of their instrumentals, including "Don't be long", which I guess you haven't heard yet, but "from now on" is up there with my favourite tracks (with or without vocals) by any band.
Play is one of my most favorite Band Maid song (though I think I say that to every BM song as I'm currently listening to it). They are just amazing musicians and song composers.
If you watch the video of Herman Li’s audition with Band-Maid, you get to see him in a maid dress improvising over Miku and Kanami playing “Without Holding Back.”
@@mtreactions it was sort of a joke. Herman had them on his Twitch stream about two years ago, and he uploaded portions of it to the Dragonforce RUclips channel.
Yeah, did join the stream. Herman was surprised by how many who showed up. It was a little early/late for Kanami who was a little tired... But she is a trooper giving 100%. I follow the Gaijin Guys, and heard that they didn't do FMN because she was feeling "drained".
My second favourite instrumental by the ladies is "Giovanni" if you can find it! Note the main album version has vocals - there is a 'white room' video of the instrumental knocking about - it's awesome!
Congratulations again Band-Maid getting 500k subscribers on RUclips best band in the world 🌎 🤘👍😎😊 nice 👍 reaction love Band-Maid the 5 amazing ladies keep rock and metal music 🎶 going strong 💪 🤘
PLAY segues into Domination (which you've already reacted to) in this concert. The other instrumentals are: ONSET - ruclips.net/video/mVrN-j_Uc0U/видео.html, DAWN WINERY THEME - ruclips.net/video/pgwPbo4eoGM/видео.html, and Don't Be Long: ruclips.net/video/wnO3NAc0vLw/видео.html .
@@mtreactions I think Tony meant Don’t Be Long. That’s the other instrumental. There’s a live fancam of it on RUclips but you may be better off listening to it through Spotify for the best version. It’s my fave.
Without Holding Back is my fav too. It has it all: Musically delicious, it sounds fun with a typical Band-Maid heavy breakout, space for everybody to shine... What not to say positive about these women, they're a gift for us mortals 🤘🕊️
I actually think that they have an unfair advantage. It is completely unfair that they are not human! They're like some kind of advanced species, or music AI robot! 💯🤣
@@mtreactions now that you talk about "unfair", why not react to Unfair Game, Matchless GUM, and YOLO, from their single Yolo? As you tend to do double and triple reactions that might be a good next one 🤘🕊️
Imo, if one is being totally honest, you can't pick a favorite Maid, and you can't pick a favorite songs. That's how good they are! In fact, they're so good that many people can't express or recognize how good they are. They just know they’ve heard and seen something special. Their music, composition and execution are so rich and deep that they will be relevant for many decades -- or longer -- after they're gone... hopefully in about 50 years from now! Thx, MilTruc!
Yeah same here too! I love FNO too, but WHB got this drive to it, held together by Akanes drumming. ...also: Kanamis use of the egyptian scale is the chefs kiss!
@@mtreactions There is an instrumental version of Giovanni too which works out fantastic without the lyrics, just me but I think it's as good as any of their actual instrumentals
@@edwardallen4051 Giovanni's such a crazy song that for a long time I preferred the instrumental version to the album version. I do like the version with vocals more now, but the music definitely works without them.
I've been down this rabbit hole that is 2010's GIRLPOWER music from Japan. It's mostly been about jazz and fucion before, but then I took another tunnel and a new color on the pill. Now I'm completely hooked, again. Band-Maid rules!👌😋🙏🤟
I don't know of many other drummers that can actually get me to react like that! LOL The coolest part is that I can anticipate when that beat is going to drop and pick back up again!
Add 2 more instrumentals or maybe 3. Definitely "Don't Be Long" and the "Dawn Winery Theme". Also, the instrumental score of their song Giovanni. Dawn Winery Theme is a cover btw.
While The Maids have made instrumental versions of their songs and put them as extras on DVDs. From Now On is the first official instrumental MV. Although available as an extra on DVD with the last EP. Band Maid are a great instrumental band as well as being a great band.
@@ericifune5543 They filmed a few white screen background instrumental versions of their songs and used them as bonus extras to go with various EPs or DVDs.. The same as Without Holding Back, although an instrumental was never considered by them to be an MV. Unlike From Now On which was officially released as an MV.
I like both the instrumentals. It would be hard to pick a fave at this point. But that's not even the best LIVE version of 'Play!'. But you can only find it on Bilibili. It's the second song of the Zepp Tokyo LIVE concert.
A bit late to the party, but watching you smile and then headbang on Play's intro made me grin. Also, dunno if anyone said this but this version of Play actually has an extended intro compared to the original studio version.
Wow! I didn't know that's what that was! No I haven't heard it yet, but it's on the list! Thank you for the suggestion and different is a great song by the way!
@@mtreactions Yes!! Band-Maid have a fun on the stage. they are great players! Oh! sorry!! "Giovanni" is my No.1 fave instrumental song. that song is in 7th album "Unseen World". pls check it! You can see Kanami's crazy riff. ( ^ ^ )
The more you listen the more you will start picking up that there is a lot of English in the lyrics. You are being assaulted when you first hear these songs. But you will start noticing them more.
Yeah, I noticed that there are some English lyrics, but not all of the lyrics are in english. I mean, it doesn't make a big difference to me I just like to know what I'm listening to! Thank you for commenting!
@@mtreactions Sayonakidori, which might be my favourite Band-Maid song, Catharsis, No God. Forward, at the drop of a hat, Mirage, Smile are other good options.

Well, that makes sense as to why somebody requested it as an instrumental then! Thank you for clearing that up!
WHB #1 in my books too
私は個人的にジョバンニのインストバージョンが大好きでぜひライブ演奏して欲しい気もしますが、、他にもインストバージョンで聞くとドキドキする曲は多いでしょうね。
Is that why it's called "Giovanni"? Because the original composer's name is "Giovanni"?
Like when y'all say WHB I have zero clue what you're talking about LOL

That's great! Thanks for the info!
...of course virtually all Band Maid songs start out as instrumentals, then vocals are added afterwards. That what sets them apart from everyone else.
The way Akane rolls around the kit....... just effortlessly flawless
They are all so damn good...
True!
Dude, these 3 songs are 3 of may favorite. Especially Without Holding Back and this particular version of Play.
Nice.
Nice!! I'm not sure if I have a favorite BM song yet. I think it's too soon to tell!
But for sure, "Without Holding Back" is my favorite all instrumental!
@@mtreactions You'll spare yourself a lot of grief by don't even trying to pick a favorite!! 😁
A triple treat for sure! Musical excellence! Play is always fun to hear and watch!
I enjoyed it too! It was fun watching them have fun!
Always love watching people enjoy the genius that is BAND-MAID.

Added!
When the pigeon says SING, you sing! Po!
"I know I can do it KITTO!
I know I can do it MOTTO!
Be more existent!"
Miku and Kanami auditioned Herman li from Dragon Force with WITHOUT HOLDING BACK. It's still up on RUclips.
I NEED TO SEE THIS!!
That is for sure going to be my next upload! (When I'm able to that is)

@@mtreactions 🍨😝🤘
Great reaction (again)
Without holding back is my favorite instrumental too.
So good!
😁All of their songs are instrumentals .... including Saiki's wonderful unique "instrument" called Vocal .... 🤣🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
LOL you got that right!
Just like their instrumentals i have no words.
Yeah same here too! I love FNO too, but WHB got this drive to it, held together by Akanes drumming.
...also: Kanamis use of the egyptian scale is the chefs kiss!
Nice observation!
It's the most interesting group at the moment, the most exciting and the best
Couldn't agree more!
Don't Be Long is an instrumental song too :)
Headed to the list! Thank you for your suggestion!

Of course! I don't think she has the ability to play any other way!

I'm having fun with it though!
@@mtreactions Remember, it's a Pigeon Hole when it comes to Band-Maid! Just sayin, lol! The regular Unseen World album with vocals is amazing, too!

"Without holding Back" was written by Kanami to help Miku to play "Different"
I like both the instrumentals. It would be hard to pick a fave at this point. But that's not even the best LIVE version of 'Play!'. But you can only find it on Bilibili. It's the second song of the Zepp Tokyo LIVE concert.
I surely will check it out! Thank you!
LOVEBITES new album song JUDGEMENT DAY and with new 20yr/o girl bassist Fami...
A bit late to the party, but watching you smile and then headbang on Play's intro made me grin.
Also, dunno if anyone said this but this version of Play actually has an extended intro compared to the original studio version.
No, I don't think anyone has mentioned it!
Monsters
Completely monsters!
Once they moved to Pony Canyon lyrical closed captions became the norm; not so much so in the Nippon Crown (including any relevant subsidiaries) days.
Do you know why "Without Holding Back" was your favorite? It was because it was the land B-M song you played!
💯
Have you checked out Don't Be Long yet? IT's a training instrumental to teach Miku how to use a diminished 7th chord for their song Different.
Wow! I didn't know that's what that was! No I haven't heard it yet, but it's on the list! Thank you for the suggestion and different is a great song by the way!
@@mtreactions I think you will enjoy it. And Different is "Different" ;)
If you love Akane's double kick, you should check out their song Rinne 🤘😊🤘
In my humble opinion currently one of the best bands with Nemophila, The Warning and Lovebites
Yes, (IMO) they do pair well with Nemofila and Lovebites! (I've never heard "The Warning")
NICE!! & THANKS!!
Trust me the pleasure is all on this side of the screen!
@@mtreactions Yes!! Band-Maid have a fun on the stage. they are great players!
