The several Online Okyuji that Band-Maid did during the covid pandemic were simply awesome.My favorite is the one on 2-11-2021. Everything about it is top notch.
From my files. I have this about Smile, About US, and Memorable. This is part of what I call the "Smile" trilogy. The first song being Smile, the "B-side" to their song Bubble. The music was written by Kentaro Akutsu who wrote their breakout song "Thrill" but with lyrics by Miku. The second song is "About US" a love song to their fans during the lockdowns written by the Ladies themselves. When it was performed live for the first time during their on-line concert to replace their canceled Budokan concert, Saiki gave a brief speech before the song started, that had many of us getting attacked by dust. Then the song itself brought out the onion ninjas and made many us have allergy attacks as well. Then we have "Memorable". It was almost 3 years since the Ladies had last toured the US, and they were concerned they had lost their momentum. Even though being told they were selling out their shows, they didn't believe what they were being told, they thought their management was lying to them or playing a joke on them. They came over and performed at Aftershock, then they got on their tour bus, (A first for them, as they normally would either fly or rent a couple vans to tour in) and drove to their first show of their 2022 US Tour. Seattle. It was at Seattle, that the Ladies got confirmation of just how much their fans love them and how much we missed them. As they walked out on stage, according to several people who were at the show, they were shocked. And Saiki as she came out, was said to have looked like someone had hit her with a bat, her eyes were so wide. The crowd response, and the emotions coming off them fed the Ladies energy as the performed their show. And as they went to their next concert, the response there was the same. And the next show, with the fans sending gifts for MISA's birthday, having several hundred custom printed towels handed out to the audience celebrating MISA's birthday. All these things hit the Ladies in their hearts. And Kanami had an idea for a new song. This next part is hearsay so I have no way of confirming it, but the sounds at the beginning before the guitar part starts was the sound that Kanami heard while back stage at the Los Angeles show. Hearing music and the audience talking. Supposedly, she actually recorded it on her phone before their introduction music started playing. Again that is hearsay and I have no way to confirm it. But from the L.A. show Kanami started writing the vocal melody line. If you have a chance to watch the Behind the scenes documentary from their TGT Concert DVD-BD, Kanami discusses and sings the vocal melody. She later sang and played it to Saiki and Saiki told Kanami to finish the song, then Saiki and Miku wrote the lyrics together. The lyrics are about looking out into the audience while being up on stage, and seeing the smiles of their "Masters and Princesses" And how much that means to them, the Ladies of Band-Maid, and how much they love us as their fans, and how much they feel our love of them as performers. The Ladies finished the song after they returned home to Japan, and worked it up, and performed it live for the first time at their January 9th concert at the Tokyo Gardens Theater, which was later released as a DVD/BD with the BTS Documentary. But just a month after their concert at TGT, they were back in the US as the opening band for the "Last Rock Stars" a Japanese supergroup, for 3 shows. Two in New York and one in Los Angeles. While in Los Angeles, the outside desert portion of this video were recorded, just outside of Lancaster California, the performance portions were taken from the very first live performance at the TGT. So know you know the story behind the song. It is a love song from the Ladies of the band, to their fans, telling us how we lift them up, and how they love being able to perform for us. As I wrote at the very beginning, this is the 3 song of the trilogy, and all of them are about how much the Ladies love us their fans. And for that, we love them back.
Band Maid helped so many people get through the pandemic and this song was a big part of that. I have had 2 Maidiacs tell me that if not for finding Band Maid, they would not be here, having ended it all, so troubled they were by the pandemic and life in general. Music can be a powerful force, a healing force. And to have your favorite band tell you in no uncertain terms, that they love you and they miss you is beyond words. We would walk through fire for these ladies.
I'm generally not as much into their slower songs as I'm awestruck by most of their high tempo bangers, but this song is really growing on me. Brilliantly composed and a beautiful piece of music.
Sofi, Merry Christmas! I love your work on RUclips. You're reactions are fun to watch. If this song brings a tear to your eyes, don't worry, this song does this to many of us.
We all feel the same. They have a place that know one else can occupy, wether or not we listen to them all the time. They are unique as a band and as individuals. Awkward- the same here. Always in my top 5.
Princess Sofi Po! I can understand you being sleep deprived, as I am a mailman in the heat of holiday deliveries! I sympathize! But you seem even funnier than normal, so maybe this is a good thing for you, LOL! The first time I saw this video, it was without the English translation, but I thought it was just a beautiful song. little slower pace than their normal fare, but very nice and well done as always. 2 days later l saw it again with the translation and I balled my eyes out, literally sobbing. These amazing ladies, in the middle of the pandemic, had written their fans a love song. To this day, I still get emotional. Who does this? Only 1 band I know of. Kuruppo! I will never stop supporting them! Great and fun reaction as always, I hope you catch up on sleep!
Part of this song was included in the documentaries at least once, if not a few times. That also helps it seem familiar. No worries, reactions to different versions are good too!
Sofi, I hope you have Happy Holidays! If, in the future, you wish to react to a live Band-Maid song, you may not have heard. The video of the song is on RUclips. It's titled BVND-MVID "Honkai" SPIN-OFF. All I'll tell you about is "Funky Honkai"!
Some pirated versions of two of their recent performances have been put on RUclips. They're worth watching but don't react to them on your channel. because of RUclips strikes. I hope the Maids release those performances on their official RUclips channel so many more fans can watch them. On RUclips the videos are listed as BVND-MVID- Honkai - Spinoff and "Daydreaming" the acoustic version.

People really don't realise the power of great music and how it can impact one's life
❤Band-Maid. The only band I have ever fallen in love with. ❤
I'm generally not as much into their slower songs as I'm awestruck by most of their high tempo bangers, but this song is really growing on me. Brilliantly composed and a beautiful piece of music.

今でもこのオーソドックスなバンドスタイルで勝負している職人気質にただただ驚くというか尊敬します。ベビーメタルもいいが、神バンドのメンバーはそのスタイルに納得してるのか？
