What do you think of the new MV? My reaction to the LIVE debut of Bestie and full set at Tokyo Garden Theater set with Incubus: www.patreon.com/posts/band-maid-with-103417729
Looks to me like Mincho is playing a full D chord at the end ( 5:36 ). From what I hear I think the guitars are tuned a half step down and the E (now Eb) string is further down a step, so instead of drop D it's drop C#.
I'm almost certain that Mincho wore Miku's outfit by mistake...shirankedoh😏 Btw, Maids wore their usual outfits for their recent acoustic Okuji at Shibuya.
MISA's playing and bass tone are setting new standards... and Akane's drumming is so in-the-pocket and distinguishable... and Kanami's solo is Daydreaming masterful! The recording and mix are as enjoyable as the song. Miku and Saiki's lyrics are heartfelt. "I can't look into your eyes." Is Band-Maid a band of fashion-forward, trend-setting Besties? 💞 Thx, Mikey & Band-Maid!
With the song being entirely in English and with Mike's involvement, it definitely seems like a pitch for a bit more mainstream attention. Could the outfits also be related to that? I find when I recommend Band Maid I'm always having to initially make excuses for the costumes. The gap Miku talks about is a fun contrast, but it's also something audiences might have to get over to begin with, in these dresses that stops being an issue.
Kanami on Twitter: "Another song with difficult drums has been created... Poor A-chan.. Akane: Leave it to me Miku: A-chan is so fun to be around. Po. Kanami: I also created a solo part for Kobato so don't worry...♡ Kobato: Po!!I'll do my best Po!!!
Ah, great reaction Master Potter. It looked like you were channeling your inner Steve Wonder groove for a bit....😂 Like you, I like their Angel Battle Armor they used in this video. Also love the backing harmonies especially since they showed Akane and Mincho singing. As for the recent acoustic concert...they wore their normal Maid Battle Armor, but this set is the Acoustic Line Cube Shibuya stage. PO!🕊 WORLD DOMINATION!!!🤘😆🤘
I guess their usual outfits were in the wash, that said I love the white kit. A great video that enhances the song like they should. They're a class act.
I am honest: I was afraid that the new song is not as good as the old stuff from Band Maid. And yes, Bestie is a pop song, no hard rock and no typical Band Maid complexity. They do that now and then ... and I like that. Nevertheless, it needs some time to creep into my ears but now its an ear worm ;-) Same with this video: I didn't expect much, but Whow! And I am not sure if I like their dress style IMHO too old fashioned) but their hair style make them even more pretty and mature. You cannot "optimize" Miku and Misa ... but I very much like the new look of Saiki, Kanami and Akane. Please keep it that way! Love it.
So in the most recent acoustic okyuji the Maid's wore their Maid outfits, however yooz might be thinking of the 2021 Xmas Acoustic Okyuji where they went with sort holiday outfits in tan and red colors....that I think they bought themselves.
Exactly. And I can't imagine Saiki wearing her new battle dress during a hot summer day concert. They defiitely need a summer version of their outfits.
That’s Kanami’s regular PRS 6-string. Nothing different there. I think it is in an open D tuning with the E tuned down to C# though. Something like that anyway.
Hii,you can react to the band morfonica too,songs that i recommend : Chikai no wingbeat Daylight Nevereverland Flame of hope Merry go rounD Brilliance of wings (Anime ending song)
The lyrics are great, the song is nice. But to me it's much to poppy, to clean, to mainstream. It's radiofriendly, but it never surprises musicaly. I simply often miss some Gacha-Effects at Band Maid! Some unexpected Jazz, Fusion or classic Rock elements. Maybe I listend a little to much to GS. But don't get me wrong, I like Band Maid absolutly. Not allways, but often...
What do you think of the new MV?

I like it! All of the girls look gorgeous (although the camera guy barely shows Misa at all, which I don't get).
How can anyone fall even deeper in love with a group? Well it's happened!!!!! Beautiful and angelic!!!!!
Mincho is simply beautiful. Po!
The maids turned into Angels now,
Yes!! 100% Agree with you🧚♂💘
Saiki's hairstyle is a Japanese Hime(princess) cut.😮
Ooh Interesting! Then it makes sense that Boa Hancock from One Piece has also that hairstyle!
Can we just say how beautiful Saiki looks with her hair down
I just love Band-Maid's mid-tempo music. Yeah, the new look is graceful and beautiful - fits the music and its msg.
BAND-ANGELS? Yep. I am so glad that they are allowing us to hear Mikus backup .... she does a good job with that.
That video is a visual piece of art.
Their videos are consistently excellent
Angels in white. 💖✨🕊

Love the white outfits and the setting!
Kanami has turned into an angel!
She always was an angel to me!
Love Kanamincho❤💘💕
Ready to fly...maybe it's because of the novelty but I prefer this new outfit... I find it fascinating!
This song is growing on me fast.
Saiki had her hair styled like a Japanese princess.
Not like because she is.
Alternatively: "Saiki, the princess, had her hair styled."
BAND-MAID never stands stil, always moving above and beyond the fan's expectations 🙏🕊&❤
By the way, Kanami announced that she has written new songs where Akane will have a very hard time. And now there will be Miku's solo.
What a beautiful video for a beautiful song! I loved the outfits they all had on for it too
Recent acoustic show was in their usual 2023/2024 version of costumes.
Wow, like this even more. They are so beautiful in their Dress Up clothes!!!
And Kanami looks way diff. and her solo was SWEET.. love it..
Amazing video! All girls look beautiful in the white outfit! BAND MAID!!!
Looks like Cluppo took on 4 additional bandmates to perform the song that they co-wrote with Einziger. Good work Cluppo! 😛
Sailing is absolutely radiant here❤️. Love the Maids!
Saiki is absolutely radiant here.
I think the low E string is dropped to C# and the rest is an open D chord on the opening riff played by Mike (Kanami in the video).
Hmmm interesting open D with C# I have to try that. I wonder if Kanami will start playing with alt tunings after this?
Looks to me like Mincho is playing a full D chord at the end ( 5:36 ). From what I hear I think the guitars are tuned a half step down and the E (now Eb) string is further down a step, so instead of drop D it's drop C#.

Btw, Maids wore their usual outfits for their recent acoustic Okuji at Shibuya.
Thats exactly what i thought, thats why miku is replaced by cluppo on this mv..😂
Saiki is absolutely radiant here.

BAND-MAID's new Chapter.
The return of Pony(tail)-Nami ❤🥰
The clothing on Band Maid's Christmas acoustic was red and tan.
Kanami on Twitter: "Another song with difficult drums has been created... Poor A-chan..
Akane: Leave it to me
Miku: A-chan is so fun to be around. Po.
Kanami: I also created a solo part for Kobato so don't worry...♡
Kobato: Po!!I'll do my best Po!!!
They performed in their usual battlearmor last nigh at Incubus. This outfit chsnge is likely a special thing, done rarely.
Ah, great reaction Master Potter. It looked like you were channeling your inner Steve Wonder groove for a bit....😂 Like you, I like their Angel Battle Armor they used in this video.

Good song. They have the white on , like LOVEBITES but, a different kind of white. They keep moving on and up.
Mike is not in the video because he refused to wear a white dress similar to Maids...probably😏
No it's because he wouldn't let miku do his hair.
he was expecting a maid outfit, but disappointed with the all white dress.
I heard he showed up in a maid outfit so someone at the door handed him a feather duster and put him to work. ;-)
This is Like the 3 rd Time i hear this I absolutely Love Misa s Bass Tone in this.
I guess their usual outfits were in the wash, that said I love the white kit. A great video that enhances the song like they should. They're a class act.
not exactly what i was expecting but very cool none the less
Fun bop!
♥ the outfits!

Misa dancing?
I dono y..my eye keep looking at kanami 😂😂😂
They look beautiful..hope they keep this look!
Another reactors thought was that the lyrics are about the girls themselves and the white outfits are letting them show their true feelings.
So in the most recent acoustic okyuji the Maid's wore their Maid outfits, however yooz might be thinking of the 2021 Xmas Acoustic Okyuji where they went with sort holiday outfits in tan and red colors....that I think they bought themselves.
Would be perfect outfits for the summer shows at least!
Exactly. And I can't imagine Saiki wearing her new battle dress during a hot summer day concert. They defiitely need a summer version of their outfits.
Beautiful in every respect. Enough said.
That’s Kanami’s regular PRS 6-string. Nothing different there. I think it is in an open D tuning with the E tuned down to C# though. Something like that anyway.
Wave recording from a white background. Kismet? Vulcan mindmeld? Good job Papa-san Wave!
You so soooooon👍
Bro this might be my favoriet Band Maid song...
Nice MV that we were all waiting for. I wonder why they released the audio before the video? 🤔
Like your new intro.
At 0:59 , Princess Leia vibes for real! :P
Mincho with a pony tail.
早い!!🫶🤍
MISA MISA MISA!!!!!
Hii,you can react to the band morfonica too,songs that i recommend :
Chikai no wingbeat
Daylight
Nevereverland
Flame of hope
Merry go rounD
Brilliance of wings (Anime ending song)
The ethereal white matches the song.
They sang it all in English. No maid outfit. Band Maid is so good.
På ren svenska, jävlar vad bra.🥰🥰🥰
Jag samtycker 💯% 👍
Love the IVE intro Waveman!
De primera pense que era la banda Scandal
Kanami uses a DigiTech Drop.
No incubus visuals?
Wave as always Lyrics by Miku Kobato!!!
Mike, not that pretty thats why he's not in the video
New look? Looks way too close to a recent Scandal MV if you ask me.
The lyrics are great, the song is nice. But to me it's much to poppy, to clean, to mainstream. It's radiofriendly, but it never surprises musicaly. I simply often miss some Gacha-Effects at Band Maid! Some unexpected Jazz, Fusion or classic Rock elements. Maybe I listend a little to much to GS. But don't get me wrong, I like Band Maid absolutly.
