Hey Wave, what's happening with the Rock is not dead design? When i click the links i get an empty shop, but I can find different designs of your stuff on that website.
This is great Wave!! I was at their Summer Sonic show today, and this is what I saw guitar-wise. Start of the song: Miku did the chugging (Kanami rests) 1st Pre-chorus part (0-3-5-6 part as you define) : Also Miku only (Kanami rests) I remember it clearly because It was so impressive that Miku played that part, and she played that 0-3-5-6 part in drop D power chords (R,5), and both guitars were in Drop D. I also found out that the key change and the accented lyrics diving into the chorus is extremely difficult (even for Saiki) to execute live.
Nice! I had to go through all the hoops to get to Japan including wearing a mask for most of the duration of the flight other than eating or using the toilet. I get there thinking I have a shot to see the show in Osaka only to find out there is a surge in covid, the sauna like heat daily, and the show being sold-out. As a consolation, I was able to get some Band-Maid and Cluppo CDs/Blu-rays that had to be ordered at a local store.
Thanks, Wave! As a music appreciator (as opposed to a music theorist), it's always nice to get a glimpse into WHY some of these choices hit home. I also like the fact that Band-Maid is always trying something out. Maybe we don't like it, or maybe we don't like it immediately, but at least they are testing out new material or techniques.
Thank you again Wave, for your amazing microscopic analysis, you and fellow RUclipsrs. You always gives your individual viewpoint that gives Maidiacs a fantastic new way to see and hear our favorite superheroes.
Great work Wave!👍 I started to listening to pop and rock music in 1970 when I was 4 years old. I discovered my mothers small record collection with only 7" singles. The Beatles captured my mind the most. Later on in around 1972 it was Slade, then The Sweet and then in late 1975 a trip of 2 decades of KISS fandom, then Blind Guardian....and since February 2019 it's Band-Maid stardom. I put them on top of everything exept Buckethead. They're that good😇👍🤘
@@WavePotter, your commitment and hard work to expose and promote Band-Maid are very satisfying for us the Maidiacs and to "the others, unawares"😉😄. Have you yet seen the Summer Sonic gig of theirs? They slay. The new instrumental kicks ass!
Another Band Maid song that I will be hearing things for the first time a year after it's release. Leaning more towards hard rock and metal the first thing that grabbed me was the heavy riff after the first verse but then ... in true Band Maid style, the riff after the second verse before the first chorus was even more metal and caught me off guard. By now I had this huge smile on my face and I realised this song is the one I have been waiting for. So many elements yet to discover, well I'll be Dan Dan Di Di Dan Dan !!
Well said Lewis! It's so cool that it just keep unfolding with each listen! Also, it was cool to see that Miku actually plays those first 2 riffs live!
OK, I'm showing my age here, but the last time I remember a band that produced this much great music as regularly as Band-Maid does, was back in '64 when four guys from Liverpool were doing it.
I really love the "OOOWWW"s. I thought I watched a lot of BAND-MAID reactions, holy buckets! Your analysis and explanations of the different scales and modes Kanami uses, plus in-depth drum and bass analysis, make you a top-tier reactor. Great that you included lots of other reactors from the BAND-MAID community. You even threw in a Sex Bob-Omb reference. Awesome! PS: when you said "fan service", for a split second, I was like "did I miss something?", you used the term correctly but I'm from the anime community where that term carries a sexual connotation
Thank you Wave for the intense breakdown of Unleash. I read alot of viewers to reaction videos just want to hear the music play, I don't understand them. This kind of breakdown should be the footprint of reactor videos.
Wave i know it's awhile after the fact but i'd just like to say that your B-M history series & Unleash vids have been some of the best reactor content i've seen on YT. Your presentation & delivery is great & your passion for the Maids shines bright....Just don't tell Ryan i wrote this or he'll kill me.😏
Great job as always, Wave! This song has taken by far the longest for me to settle on how I feel about it. "Different" took a couple days, this one took about 10 haha. For me Saiki is the star of this song and I don't know if I've ever said that about one of their fast/heavy songs. Amazing! I love the heavy guitar riffs, the way the song explodes into new sections, and I think this is their catchiest song since, I dunno, "Hide and Seek?" The little things they add, like the vocals you mentioned at 15:25 are perfect, as always, adding exactly what's needed exactly where it's needed. Now for what I don't like...Stop reading now if you don't like critical comments, though overall I do like the song and live I liked it a lot more. I like the song but I think it's let down by its production or mixing...or whatever, robbing many of its most climactic moments of their impact. (Time for all the Beato "compression" memes!) Hearing it live for the first time today has reinforced that thought. The song sounds worst here on RUclips. It sounds noticeably better even on Spotify basic streaming. I'm with you and Ryan on the guitar tone. I'm not a fan of the similar tone in "Screaming" either. And you nailed it with Akane being comparatively restrained. (Speaking of which, have you heard the Summer Sonic performance yet? They did the instrumental "From Now On" and Akane is a star. Highly recommend you listen to it before Gaijin Guys; you know what website you can find it on.) I also feel that the last 20-25 seconds seem added to extend the song to over 3 minutes. It's so weird to hear Band-Maid just repeat a section in a song like this that it actually caught me off guard by not catching me off guard. Anyway loved your insights and how much care you put into these videos.
I'd like Kanami to split off the pitch-shifted output, EQ it, then blend it back in with her regular tone. Not only do I suspect it would sound better, it would actually be more unique. Heavily-effected insyruments tend to have an "off-the-shelf" sound. Of course, she might already be doing it that way and it's just the sound she likes 🤷
Well first, awesome analysis love how deep u go with the music theory. Second I hate and I love when I watch you're analysis I feel I know nothing in terms of music. Third I love your perspective of their music also you always are so thankful it's like the BM style suits you so we'll
As a child of the 60's growing up in the 70's with my local radio station (K-SHE 94.7 St. Louis, MO) playing all the long tracks, and even album sides, even during the day and sometimes even during the lunch time, time slot. I loved hearing those 8-18 minutes songs. I remember hearing the full A side of RUSH's 2112 as I rode the school bus home. The driver had a little portable radio, and I would sit behind him, so I could listen to KSHE on the 30 minutes ride home. Then I would run from the bus stop, to get home trying to get in the door to turn on the stereo before "That cool song ended". Many have said it, that Band-Maid is a Progressive Hard Rock band, and I agree. I just wish the record company would let them record some really tasty longer tracks. Yes those types of tracks aren't as "Commercial" for radio play, but I think these Ladies can deliver. And I for one, want to hear them.
Thankee Sir. I appreciate all the time and effort you put into making this video. I also appreciate how you explained the musical side of the song, as it helps me with my understanding as I try to relearn guitar.
I'm so glad it was helpful and that you appreciate it! And it's awesome to hear you're re-learning guitar! I hope it goes well! Thank you for the kind word!
The unique thing about Band Maid is not only do they catch the attention of the fans, but they also catch the eye of professional musicians. I don't see that very often with other bands past or present.
Thank you Wave. I learned a lot here, much appreciate. Yeah, i'd like the regular heavy guitar sound too, but Kanami makes it more interesting by changing up the sound. Stops all the songs sounding a bit 'samey'. I'm sure she's watching the reactor videos to see what people this about this subject :)
The "OW!" parts over those fat chords are my favorite parts. Agree with you and Ryan on not being the biggest fan of the guitar sounds in certain parts but how can I complain after all this band has done for me? I can't - and overall I can't wait to see this song Unleashed!!!! in the fall!!
Hello Wave, I don't comment any more because of the hate comment I received. But I wanted to let you know what an incredible job you did on dissecting this video. I was wondering if you ever studied music theory?. Again great job and thank you for promoting Band-Maid.
Awesome breakdown. I Thoroughly enjoyed it and I have to give you mad props on how much work you put into this I can only imagine how many hours you did putting this piece together awesome job Wave and I look forward to meeting You in October
@@WavePotter Irving Plaza in NYC and American Dream Mall in Jersey. Not sure if youll be at either but I'm really hoping to meet ya. And I was serious when I complimented you I really enjoyed the breakdown...
What a great video! Thanks for putting it together and of course to everyone you see in the video. It's always a great pleasure to see that so many people out there appreciate the work of the ladies as much as I, or we Maidiacs do. 🙏🏻 And it's no less great that the number of them is increasing. :) _____________________ 「 _'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!'_ 」 --- from *BAND-MAID* 'Manners' 🕊
I can play some bass with "no rules"... but obviousIy the sounds would be disturbing for everyone... hhe... i was have a band & play as bassist... but as amateurs for sure, i can recognized if a band have a great bassist mostly the Band will be Great as like their bassist... Anyway Good video & an incredible Job wave, Notes : - I'm just realized that all of the reactors... i know quite very well... at least 40% of them hhe...
@@WavePotter hhe... Anyway... Wave, Did you have receive my email for the last week... I have "something" to ask & a "special request" for you wave again... in there hhe...
Love the analysis, Wave. Count me among those that don't care for the harmonizer pedal. I was thrilled watching the SummerSonic footage that the sound gets totally buried in the mix, and as I suspected, the song is much better for it. I do really like the song otherwise.
After watching the Summer Sonic performance... I think you're theory about Miku being in drop D and Kanami being standard is not correct. Because in the live performance, Kanami plays the "chugging" and Miku is not playing at all during the second pre-chorus. I think they're both in Drop D. Also.... If you could tell me the notes of the "clean guitar" part at the end of the first pre-chorus - that would be VERY helpful. Because I am having difficulty with that part in the MIDI. 🙂
Yeah I talked about that in my reaction and livestream today! They subverted my expectations on that one! The notes are F#/A# G/B and A\C# and the 2nd note is an octave higher!
Is it my imagination or am I hearing things..... When the flower opens at about 0:20 in the video there is a screech that sounds like it might be high speed speech... ?? Need to slow this down and see if it says anything....
I'd be interested in a similar breakdown of Sokoninaru's new song "Saitei" if you ever felt inclined to do one. Though, you definitely wouldn't be able to include a similar montage of reactors at the outset. Lol
I think an anime of BAND-MAID would be great !!!! They would travel the world doing concerts as a cover while secretly doing battle with and ridding the world of evil Yurei….. What you all think?
You can see how exhausted they look, in parts of the Domination live video (song 22 of 23, for that show), so I'm thinking they're near their limit, for how long a set can be. I don't envy them, having to whittle down a setlist, from their massive catalog.
I have just watched BAND-MAID's performance at the SUMMER SONIC 2022. I so funny how Kanami was quite serious in the first couple of songs then, she began to be crazier after each song until she started to be totally out of control during (and after 🕊👁😆) "Domination". I was very surprised that "Unleash!!!!!" main guitar riff was played by the backing track 🤔 My two favorite performances were "After Life" and "Domination". The new instrumental "from now on" was very good, especially the start of the song which was also used to promote BAND-MAID's US tour. But I still prefer "Without Holding Back" and "onset". And yes, Saiki's volume was too low and she quickly showed it to the technicians during the second song "SENSE". Also, Miku's microphone volume was way too high. Kanami's guitar was sometimes low, other times perfect like in most of the solo sections. And as always, nothing to add for MISA and Akane because it's always perfect 🤷🏻♂
In today's Sumer Sonic show Miku's mic was too high, in some part the backing vocals were higher than Saiki and maybe they don't seem all that confortable as other times. Akane, Misa and Kanami on point. Not the best performance in my opinion but after the pandemic they are returning to the stage and can only improve from here.
Yeah that’s all venue issues from the rushed atmosphere of the festival setting unfortunately. Kinda out of their control. It seemed like they were having monitor issues for the vocals the whole time. But they still put on a killer show!
I loved that Miku’s mic was so loud. Her guitar was as well! Wasn’t great for the overall sound, but it really lets you hear clearly how much Miku is doing. She is doing A LOT! Also I stand by my opinion that they may need to bring a couple of songs lower for their concerts. It is overall too high for Saiki. She’s a great and powerful vocalist, but Kanami has written too many songs beyond her comfortable range, and the ladies have discussed as such in their interviews.
Her voice it's not suitable for the Band Maid songs except those was made for her specifically. This is not a contentius topic, she was who decide her voice was not enough at the beggining of the band. Despite of those fans of one artist who think that person is perfect in every way the rationality is this: without every member in their place there is no Band Maid, Miku can't replace Saiki or Kanami and that's the reason for Cluppo, a band tailor made for Miku and very different in style.
MISA's pick, what is the meaning? Just that she use to hide her pick between her fingers when slapping, but here she is holding it for picking. Have not seen anyone comment on her pick, myself I have no clue LOL
"They look sooo cute in Anime Style!" Um? Wasn't that the whole point of the Maid Café outfits from the get go? The Maidiacs know the story: the cute maid outfits are more "The Cheesecake Factory" than "Cheesecake". I'll admit that I had to get past the maid costumes before I watched one of their fantastic videos. But they are right: I would watch that series!
This is the thing I don't come to You Tube to watch. To much back slapping, mutual butt kissing and circle jerking. That goes on, on here. Sorry I'm not one that thinks the more chaotic or harder sounding. Makes for a good/perfect song. To much concentration by them as of late with this kind of sound to me. It has become to repetitive over the last year or so. And I'm tired of the Anime tie in. Just give me a rock song on its own. And it was hilarious to see the bald-headed metal guy. And a few of the other reactors on here. Some of which who trashed them ( especially the bald-headed metal guy viciously when it came to their costumes ) right from the beginning. Are now riding the populatity of the Band Maid train ! Because the sound they put out now is perceived as cool, bad ass and hip. To many you tube reactors living off the backs of this group. And it's funny to listen to many of the followers. Who act like the bands PR firm or personal representation. Condemning when someone posts something maybe once, from a previous performance. Not sanctioned officially by the group. But don't have a problem when their favorite reactors have done it. At least multiple of dozens of times on here. P.S. To many self proclaimed Band Maid experts on here as well. Sorry when I see to much B.S. on here. Although I may be one of the only ones that has the guts to. I call it out ! Now of course I will be attacked by the usual social media Band Maid group think.
@@WavePotter Unfortunately I had a respond back to you on your channel. Because that's where most of the group stuff goes on with these Band Maid reactions. And the funny thing is most of the criticism is really not directed at you. But if you go down the list of everything that I brought up. What did I say that was actually inaccurate ? The songs that they have released in the last year have sounded all similar and chaotic. Many of them are linked to anime, right ? If you don't go along with most of the Band Maid group think, you are criticized ! I was 100% right about the bald headed metal guy. And there was another reactor on here. The guy with the long hair and I think he's from New Jersey. Who basically dismissed and said first viewing them. That he would not buy anything they have and nothing they have would interest him. Now he's been doing pretty well the last I don't know 6 8 10 months reacting to much of their music. I just like to call out the BS. That's really waste high here on RUclips. I think this group is one of the best rock bands anywhere in the world. Male or female in the last three or four decades. But I don't drink the Band Maid Kool-Aid. That so many reactors and their followers do. To many middle aged guys (some younger and many even older ) acting way to giddy for their age. About anything this group does. Almost get the impression that if they released an album. With just them banging on garbage cans. The adulation and oversaturation of critical acclaim would be the same. Middle-aged guys are talking about their outfits and costumes. And if I have to hear one more time that they are better than groups like The Beatles Stones Zeppelin or Floyd. I think I'm going to puke all over. They are an incredible group of five phenomenally talented beautiful musicians from Japan. Who are still very early in their careers. The oldest are around 31 I think. And I'm going to see them live in October. But again the non-stop circle jerking that goes on on RUclips with this is complete and at times ridiculous. You are a multi-instrumentalist and i know. You know what you're talking about probably almost 100% of the time. Although I am not a multi-instrumentalist. I have been listening to music probably before you were born. And that would be around a half century or so. And I have been playing the bass guitar though not a professional musician for over 35 years. I think I have a good idea what good music and talent sounds like. And obviously these ladies have it by the bus loads. But it's getting to the point now. Where it's like these ladies, for to many of these middle-aged ( and in some cases creepers ) act like they walk on water. And if I have to see another middle-aged guy talk about how much he loves and wants to marry one of these ladies. In one of these Facebook groups for the band. I'm going to puke over that as well. These ladies deserve much applause and accolades. But it gets to the point now where it's getting way over the top and too much. You know and I know if these were five sweaty guys with tattoos. Around six feet and 250 lbs from Germany. The male middle-aged mostly fan base here. Would be acting quite differently and commenting so differently about this group. I've always said from the beginning although they are attractive. It's always about the music for me first. When I see 80% of the responses are about their looks first whether it be on Facebook, RUclips or Instagram. To me I think that's where much of the over the top praise and much of the compliments derive from. Not from people like you and myself. But too many others ! Thanks for taking the time to respond back to me.

Hey Wave, what's happening with the Rock is not dead design? When i click the links i get an empty shop, but I can find different designs of your stuff on that website.
FINALLY...made it in somebody else's video!! BIG WAVE👋👋👋🎸🎸🎸
BAAAAND MAAAAAAID!!!!
11 hours............... holy -_- This thumbnail leads me to believe we get a Misa breakdown because Unleash is just one giant solo for her.
素晴らしい考察。ありがとう。
嬉しいお言葉ありがとうございます！
素晴らしい考察！貴方の愛溢れる分析は彼女たちの音楽をより輝やかせる。
ビデオを楽しんでいただけてうれしいです！ 優しい言葉をありがとう！
This is great Wave!!
I was at their Summer Sonic show today, and this is what I saw guitar-wise.
Start of the song: Miku did the chugging (Kanami rests)
1st Pre-chorus part (0-3-5-6 part as you define) : Also Miku only (Kanami rests)
I remember it clearly because It was so impressive that Miku played that part, and she played that 0-3-5-6 part in drop D power chords (R,5), and both guitars were in Drop D.
I also found out that the key change and the accented lyrics diving into the chorus is extremely difficult (even for Saiki) to execute live.
Nice! I had to go through all the hoops to get to Japan including wearing a mask for most of the duration of the flight other than eating or using the toilet. I get there thinking I have a shot to see the show in Osaka only to find out there is a surge in covid, the sauna like heat daily, and the show being sold-out. As a consolation, I was able to get some Band-Maid and Cluppo CDs/Blu-rays that had to be ordered at a local store.
Watch their new instrumental. Pay attention to the drumming.
Oh! I didn't authorize any of this! LOL
😂
12 goddamn hours!?
Knowing your plans for tonight, I understand your frustration! 🤣
I was taken aback by the guitar tone at first but after multiple listens I can't imagine the song without it. Thank you for your in-depth breakdown.
That's all I ask of them - give me music! BAND MAID Forever!
Another fun Wave ride for Unleash!!!!! 😁
Thanks, Wave! As a music appreciator (as opposed to a music theorist), it's always nice to get a glimpse into WHY some of these choices hit home. I also like the fact that Band-Maid is always trying something out. Maybe we don't like it, or maybe we don't like it immediately, but at least they are testing out new material or techniques.
Awesome video! Wave you are incredible. Thanks again!
You’re too kind man. Thanks for your great reaction!
Being a synth-pop fan ever since a young tyke, I really love the effects. :D
言葉はわからないけど、評価は高いみたい😊BAND-MAIDはハズレなしだね❣️
🤘😎🤘I like the slightly jazzy feel
Ooh! Good catch! I hadn’t thought of that!
Thank you again Wave, for your amazing microscopic analysis, you and
fellow RUclipsrs. You always gives your individual viewpoint that gives Maidiacs a fantastic new way to see and hear our favorite superheroes.
I'm glad you appreciated it! Thank you Scott!
You are the go to guy on the Maids. Keep on making these great vids!
That's so kind of you Ken! I'm glad you enjoy the videos!
Great work Wave!👍
I started to listening to pop and rock music in 1970 when I was 4 years old. I discovered my mothers small record collection with only 7" singles.
The Beatles captured my mind the most. Later on in around 1972 it was Slade, then The Sweet and then in late 1975 a trip of 2 decades of KISS fandom, then Blind Guardian....and since February 2019 it's Band-Maid stardom.
I put them on top of everything exept Buckethead. They're that good😇👍🤘
Wow. That's pretty amazing considering all of that! I'm so grateful to know about them. Thanks for sharing Kent-Ove!
@@WavePotter, your commitment and hard work to expose and promote Band-Maid are very satisfying for us the Maidiacs and to "the others, unawares"😉😄.
Have you yet seen the Summer Sonic gig of theirs? They slay.
The new instrumental kicks ass!
The longest road is often the most rewarding. All i know is it's been one helluva awesome journey with BAND-MAID so far :)
I’m so happy to see how far they’ve come! They’ve really earned it.
By taking this road built by these girls, I did not think that it would lead me to the stars.🤩
Once you start down the Maid path, forever it will dominate your destiny. Consume you , it will.
@@WavePotter And i'm so happy to see how much passion you have for BAND MAID, Wave.😁
@@Kissthetoad321 Gérard B-M can take you anywhere you want to go. It's World Domination & beyond.😄
I always feel like I’m getting more than I paid for with BAND-MAID. It’s like five songs in one. How do they do it? Magic!
Omajinai Time!
I relate to that! Nicely said :)
"Raise your colors, fly the flag!" It is nice to see. Need to see it more. Take over the world.😎
"Raise your colors, fly the flag!" It is nice to see. Need to see it more. 😎
Another Band Maid song that I will be hearing things for the first time a year after it's release. Leaning more towards hard rock and metal the first thing that grabbed me was the heavy riff after the first verse but then ... in true Band Maid style, the riff after the second verse before the first chorus was even more metal and caught me off guard. By now I had this huge smile on my face and I realised this song is the one I have been waiting for. So many elements yet to discover, well I'll be Dan Dan Di Di Dan Dan !!
Well said Lewis! It's so cool that it just keep unfolding with each listen! Also, it was cool to see that Miku actually plays those first 2 riffs live!
OK, I'm showing my age here, but the last time I remember a band that produced this much great music as regularly as Band-Maid does, was back in '64 when four guys from Liverpool were doing it.
I really love the "OOOWWW"s. I thought I watched a lot of BAND-MAID reactions, holy buckets! Your analysis and explanations of the different scales and modes Kanami uses, plus in-depth drum and bass analysis, make you a top-tier reactor. Great that you included lots of other reactors from the BAND-MAID community. You even threw in a Sex Bob-Omb reference. Awesome!
PS: when you said "fan service", for a split second, I was like "did I miss something?", you used the term correctly but I'm from the anime community where that term carries a sexual connotation
Thank you Wave for the intense breakdown of Unleash. I read alot of viewers to reaction videos just want to hear the music play, I don't understand them. This kind of breakdown should be the footprint of reactor videos.
Thank you Wayne! I'm glad you appreciated this format!
Wave i know it's awhile after the fact but i'd just like to say that your B-M history series & Unleash vids have been some of the best reactor content i've seen on YT. Your presentation & delivery is great & your passion for the Maids shines bright....Just don't tell Ryan i wrote this or he'll kill me.😏
I really appreciate that Gary! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the new format! 😊
Thx for the beautiful series. 💪
My pleasure! I'm really glad you enjoy it!
Wave, this is the kind of reaction video I like to watch. Keep it going!!!👍
I’m really glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Great job as always, Wave!
This song has taken by far the longest for me to settle on how I feel about it. "Different" took a couple days, this one took about 10 haha. For me Saiki is the star of this song and I don't know if I've ever said that about one of their fast/heavy songs. Amazing! I love the heavy guitar riffs, the way the song explodes into new sections, and I think this is their catchiest song since, I dunno, "Hide and Seek?" The little things they add, like the vocals you mentioned at 15:25 are perfect, as always, adding exactly what's needed exactly where it's needed.
Now for what I don't like...Stop reading now if you don't like critical comments, though overall I do like the song and live I liked it a lot more.
I like the song but I think it's let down by its production or mixing...or whatever, robbing many of its most climactic moments of their impact. (Time for all the Beato "compression" memes!) Hearing it live for the first time today has reinforced that thought. The song sounds worst here on RUclips. It sounds noticeably better even on Spotify basic streaming.
I'm with you and Ryan on the guitar tone. I'm not a fan of the similar tone in "Screaming" either. And you nailed it with Akane being comparatively restrained. (Speaking of which, have you heard the Summer Sonic performance yet? They did the instrumental "From Now On" and Akane is a star. Highly recommend you listen to it before Gaijin Guys; you know what website you can find it on.) I also feel that the last 20-25 seconds seem added to extend the song to over 3 minutes. It's so weird to hear Band-Maid just repeat a section in a song like this that it actually caught me off guard by not catching me off guard.
Anyway loved your insights and how much care you put into these videos.
I'd like Kanami to split off the pitch-shifted output, EQ it, then blend it back in with her regular tone. Not only do I suspect it would sound better, it would actually be more unique. Heavily-effected insyruments tend to have an "off-the-shelf" sound.
Of course, she might already be doing it that way and it's just the sound she likes 🤷
Well first, awesome analysis love how deep u go with the music theory. Second I hate and I love when I watch you're analysis I feel I know nothing in terms of music.
Third I love your perspective of their music also you always are so thankful it's like the BM style suits you so we'll
Thank you for the thoughtful comment Tavo! I really appreciate that and i'm glad you enjoyed it!
My only negative comment is it was way too short! Well done Wave!☆☆☆☆☆
😂 Thank you so much Chris! I appreciate you.
similar to a Band-Maid song . . . or a Kanami solo . . .
As a child of the 60's growing up in the 70's with my local radio station (K-SHE 94.7 St. Louis, MO) playing all the long tracks, and even album sides, even during the day and sometimes even during the lunch time, time slot. I loved hearing those 8-18 minutes songs. I remember hearing the full A side of RUSH's 2112 as I rode the school bus home. The driver had a little portable radio, and I would sit behind him, so I could listen to KSHE on the 30 minutes ride home. Then I would run from the bus stop, to get home trying to get in the door to turn on the stereo before "That cool song ended". Many have said it, that Band-Maid is a Progressive Hard Rock band, and I agree. I just wish the record company would let them record some really tasty longer tracks. Yes those types of tracks aren't as "Commercial" for radio play, but I think these Ladies can deliver. And I for one, want to hear them.
Thankee Sir. I appreciate all the time and effort you put into making this video. I also appreciate how you explained the musical side of the song, as it helps me with my understanding as I try to relearn guitar.
I'm so glad it was helpful and that you appreciate it! And it's awesome to hear you're re-learning guitar! I hope it goes well! Thank you for the kind word!
*Wave* I'm sold I don't need my money back 😁
Thanks Wave very cool!
Beautiful vid Wave!
Thank you Juan! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Wow wave this is a work of luv dude. Great job man!
Really enjoyed this break down so much to take in thanks wave for your hard work
I'm glad you appreciate it. Thank you Tim!
The unique thing about Band Maid is not only do they catch the attention of the fans, but they also catch the eye of professional musicians. I don't see that very often with other bands past or present.
Thank you Wave. I learned a lot here, much appreciate. Yeah, i'd like the regular heavy guitar sound too, but Kanami makes it more interesting by changing up the sound. Stops all the songs sounding a bit 'samey'. I'm sure she's watching the reactor videos to see what people this about this subject :)
MISA MISA MISA!
Thanks Wave!
Great video Wave, i love it
The "OW!" parts over those fat chords are my favorite parts. Agree with you and Ryan on not being the biggest fan of the guitar sounds in certain parts but how can I complain after all this band has done for me? I can't - and overall I can't wait to see this song Unleashed!!!! in the fall!!
Well said Kevin! I'm just grateful for the massive bank of great rock music they've created!
I think in time, after more listening, the guitar sound will hit you and it just works.
@@saikisfang9339 I can say that after listening to Unleash about 40 times, that harmonizing effect seems to disappear for me.
great work Wave keep up the good work
Hello Wave, I don't comment any more because of the hate comment I received. But I wanted to let you know what an incredible job you did on dissecting this video. I was wondering if you ever studied music theory?. Again great job and thank you for promoting Band-Maid.
Quote "I'm loosing my mind" /End Quote - this is how I feel when listening to Unleash. What a great song, well done by Band-Maid
Awesome breakdown. I Thoroughly enjoyed it and I have to give you mad props on how much work you put into this I can only imagine how many hours you did putting this piece together awesome job Wave and I look forward to meeting You in October
Thanks so much Joe! I really appreciate that! And i'm looking forward to meeting you too. Which shows will you be at?
@@WavePotter Irving Plaza in NYC and American Dream Mall in Jersey. Not sure if youll be at either but I'm really hoping to meet ya. And I was serious when I complimented you I really enjoyed the breakdown...
Excellent work again, Wave! I hope you are having a great day.
Thank you Mark! Same to you!
hey man! dunnno why this didn't show up in mentions till now, but thanks! band-maid is one of my faves! thanks for the clips!
Dude, Band-Maid is the 21st century Beatles! They are the perfect Rock n Roll band!
14:05 reminds me a little bit of the song Perfect insanity by Disturbed
Wow, I follow almost all of them,
That's awesome! It's a cool community!
Live stage on summer Sonic is sound from heaven by band maid this song very gooooooood.....
What a great video! Thanks for putting it together and of course to everyone you see in the video.
It's always a great pleasure to see that so many people out there appreciate the work of the ladies as much as I, or we Maidiacs do. 🙏🏻 And it's no less great that the number of them is increasing. :)

I can play some bass with "no rules"... but obviousIy the sounds would be disturbing for everyone... hhe...
i was have a band & play as bassist... but as amateurs for sure, i can recognized if a band have a great bassist mostly the Band will be Great as like their bassist...
Anyway Good video & an incredible Job wave,
Notes :
- I'm just realized that all of the reactors... i know quite very well... at least 40% of them hhe...
😂 Thank you so much Rizki! And that's great to hear!
@@WavePotter hhe... Anyway... Wave, Did you have receive my email for the last week... I have "something" to ask & a "special request" for you wave again... in there hhe...
Oh my!! Superlative production and content. Thanks Mr P.
Wonderful narrative and analysis. This is some real quality song reaction. :)
Well done, Wave! You were the one who caught Miku’s “owwwwwwwwwww” :D
Love the analysis, Wave. Count me among those that don't care for the harmonizer pedal. I was thrilled watching the SummerSonic footage that the sound gets totally buried in the mix, and as I suspected, the song is much better for it. I do really like the song otherwise.
nice 💥🤘
Crushing it... loved the smash cut of all the reactors to open.
Thank you Matt! I'm glad you enjoyed that!
After watching the Summer Sonic performance... I think you're theory about Miku being in drop D and Kanami being standard is not correct.
Because in the live performance, Kanami plays the "chugging" and Miku is not playing at all during the second pre-chorus.
I think they're both in Drop D.
Also.... If you could tell me the notes of the "clean guitar" part at the end of the first pre-chorus - that would be VERY helpful. Because I am having difficulty with that part in the MIDI. 🙂
Yeah I talked about that in my reaction and livestream today! They subverted my expectations on that one! The notes are F#/A# G/B and A\C# and the 2nd note is an octave higher!
Is it my imagination or am I hearing things..... When the flower opens at about 0:20 in the video there is a screech that sounds like it might be high speed speech... ?? Need to slow this down and see if it says anything....
Oooh interesting!
Them fangs though 😅
😂 I loved your reaction to the fangs!
As always my friend 👏👏👏
Thanks so much Chase! I’m sad I couldn’t make it for the chat yesterday, but I’m really enjoying listening to it!
They really grown musician ..
I'd be interested in a similar breakdown of Sokoninaru's new song "Saitei" if you ever felt inclined to do one. Though, you definitely wouldn't be able to include a similar montage of reactors at the outset. Lol
I think an anime of BAND-MAID would be great !!!!
They would travel the world doing concerts as a cover while secretly doing battle with and ridding the world of evil Yurei….. What you all think?
You can see how exhausted they look, in parts of the Domination live video (song 22 of 23, for that show), so I'm thinking they're near their limit, for how long a set can be. I don't envy them, having to whittle down a setlist, from their massive catalog.
I have just watched BAND-MAID's performance at the SUMMER SONIC 2022. I so funny how Kanami was quite serious in the first couple of songs then, she began to be crazier after each song until she started to be totally out of control during (and after 🕊👁😆) "Domination".
I was very surprised that "Unleash!!!!!" main guitar riff was played by the backing track 🤔
My two favorite performances were "After Life" and "Domination". The new instrumental "from now on" was very good, especially the start of the song which was also used to promote BAND-MAID's US tour. But I still prefer "Without Holding Back" and "onset".
And yes, Saiki's volume was too low and she quickly showed it to the technicians during the second song "SENSE". Also, Miku's microphone volume was way too high. Kanami's guitar was sometimes low, other times perfect like in most of the solo sections. And as always, nothing to add for MISA and Akane because it's always perfect 🤷🏻♂
Yes! After Life was one of my favorites too, they brought so much much hard rock energy to the performance! Thanks for the mini review 2abug!
In today's Sumer Sonic show Miku's mic was too high, in some part the backing vocals were higher than Saiki and maybe they don't seem all that confortable as other times. Akane, Misa and Kanami on point. Not the best performance in my opinion but after the pandemic they are returning to the stage and can only improve from here.
Yeah that’s all venue issues from the rushed atmosphere of the festival setting unfortunately. Kinda out of their control. It seemed like they were having monitor issues for the vocals the whole time. But they still put on a killer show!
I loved that Miku’s mic was so loud. Her guitar was as well! Wasn’t great for the overall sound, but it really lets you hear clearly how much Miku is doing. She is doing A LOT!
Also I stand by my opinion that they may need to bring a couple of songs lower for their concerts. It is overall too high for Saiki. She’s a great and powerful vocalist, but Kanami has written too many songs beyond her comfortable range, and the ladies have discussed as such in their interviews.
Her voice it's not suitable for the Band Maid songs except those was made for her specifically. This is not a contentius topic, she was who decide her voice was not enough at the beggining of the band. Despite of those fans of one artist who think that person is perfect in every way the rationality is this: without every member in their place there is no Band Maid, Miku can't replace Saiki or Kanami and that's the reason for Cluppo, a band tailor made for Miku and very different in style.
Wave, Axe Japan has issued you a challenge. Gulp! Check his latest video!
Gulp is right.. 😶
MISA's pick, what is the meaning? Just that she use to hide her pick between her fingers when slapping, but here she is holding it for picking. Have not seen anyone comment on her pick, myself I have no clue LOL
Breaking all the rules, well that is very progressive 🙂They are getting more and more progressive, I love it
"They look sooo cute in Anime Style!"
Um? Wasn't that the whole point of the Maid Café outfits from the get go? The Maidiacs know the story: the cute maid outfits are more "The Cheesecake Factory" than "Cheesecake". I'll admit that I had to get past the maid costumes before I watched one of their fantastic videos.
But they are right: I would watch that series!
I don't like 80% of Band Maids music but I'm 100% for them.👍
This is the thing I don't come to You Tube to watch. To much back slapping, mutual butt kissing and circle jerking. That goes on, on here. Sorry I'm not one that thinks the more chaotic or harder sounding. Makes for a good/perfect song. To much concentration by them as of late with this kind of sound to me. It has become to repetitive over the last year or so. And I'm tired of the Anime tie in. Just give me a rock song on its own. And it was hilarious to see the bald-headed metal guy. And a few of the other reactors on here. Some of which who trashed them ( especially the bald-headed metal guy viciously when it came to their costumes ) right from the beginning. Are now riding the populatity of the Band Maid train ! Because the sound they put out now is perceived as cool, bad ass and hip. To many you tube reactors living off the backs of this group. And it's funny to listen to many of the followers. Who act like the bands PR firm or personal representation. Condemning when someone posts something maybe once, from a previous performance. Not sanctioned officially by the group. But don't have a problem when their favorite reactors have done it. At least multiple of dozens of times on here. P.S. To many self proclaimed Band Maid experts on here as well. Sorry when I see to much B.S. on here. Although I may be one of the only ones that has the guts to. I call it out ! Now of course I will be attacked by the usual social media Band Maid group think.
Thanks for watching Chuck! I'm not going to dismiss your opinion. That's your prerogative. Have a nice day!
@@WavePotter Unfortunately I had a respond back to you on your channel. Because that's where most of the group stuff goes on with these Band Maid reactions. And the funny thing is most of the criticism is really not directed at you. But if you go down the list of everything that I brought up. What did I say that was actually inaccurate ? The songs that they have released in the last year have sounded all similar and chaotic. Many of them are linked to anime, right ? If you don't go along with most of the Band Maid group think, you are criticized ! I was 100% right about the bald headed metal guy. And there was another reactor on here. The guy with the long hair and I think he's from New Jersey. Who basically dismissed and said first viewing them. That he would not buy anything they have and nothing they have would interest him. Now he's been doing pretty well the last I don't know 6 8 10 months reacting to much of their music. I just like to call out the BS. That's really waste high here on RUclips. I think this group is one of the best rock bands anywhere in the world. Male or female in the last three or four decades. But I don't drink the Band Maid Kool-Aid. That so many reactors and their followers do. To many middle aged guys (some younger and many even older ) acting way to giddy for their age. About anything this group does. Almost get the impression that if they released an album. With just them banging on garbage cans. The adulation and oversaturation of critical acclaim would be the same. Middle-aged guys are talking about their outfits and costumes. And if I have to hear one more time that they are better than groups like The Beatles Stones Zeppelin or Floyd. I think I'm going to puke all over. They are an incredible group of five phenomenally talented beautiful musicians from Japan. Who are still very early in their careers. The oldest are around 31 I think. And I'm going to see them live in October. But again the non-stop circle jerking that goes on on RUclips with this is complete and at times ridiculous. You are a multi-instrumentalist and i know. You know what you're talking about probably almost 100% of the time. Although I am not a multi-instrumentalist. I have been listening to music probably before you were born. And that would be around a half century or so. And I have been playing the bass guitar though not a professional musician for over 35 years. I think I have a good idea what good music and talent sounds like. And obviously these ladies have it by the bus loads. But it's getting to the point now. Where it's like these ladies, for to many of these middle-aged ( and in some cases creepers ) act like they walk on water. And if I have to see another middle-aged guy talk about how much he loves and wants to marry one of these ladies. In one of these Facebook groups for the band. I'm going to puke over that as well. These ladies deserve much applause and accolades. But it gets to the point now where it's getting way over the top and too much. You know and I know if these were five sweaty guys with tattoos. Around six feet and 250 lbs from Germany. The male middle-aged mostly fan base here. Would be acting quite differently and commenting so differently about this group. I've always said from the beginning although they are attractive. It's always about the music for me first. When I see 80% of the responses are about their looks first whether it be on Facebook, RUclips or Instagram. To me I think that's where much of the over the top praise and much of the compliments derive from. Not from people like you and myself. But too many others ! Thanks for taking the time to respond back to me.
