Very sensual singing by Saiki, beautifully sustained by Miku, haunting guitar solo by Kanami, gentle bass loops by Misa, intelligent drumming by Akane. Just another masterpiece by Bandmaid.
I have played this video countless times, but I still can't watch it without a tissue nearby. I have absolutely no explanation to why I tear up. I just do!
I'm right there with you, friend. 😭. I think the explanation is that Kanami and the whole band are exceptionally good at conveying genuine emotion through their music, something that is at least as important as technical skill. The more I think about it, the more I think this is the reason that once they've hooked people, those people become rabid fans. IMHO.
SOME PEOPLE ONLY LIKE THE HEAVIER BAND-MAID SONGS BUT I LIKE ALL OF THEIR SONGS. THIS SONG IS STUNNING AND HARMONIZES WITH EVERY WARM MEMORY OF MY LIFE. I LIKE WATCHING THEIR INTERVIEWS BECAUSE THEY ARE SUCH GREAT ARTISTS AND YET ARE SO VERY HUMBLE. WATCHING THEIR INTERVIEWS WILL MAKE YOU FEEL THEIR SONGS EVEN MORE DEEPLY.
@@dicodec If you haven’t yet, you should read the translations of their interviews on their Reddit sub-Reddit . They are extremely informative and at the same time so heartwarming. I love that all of the members regularly gush about what a wonderful human being MISA is and her resulting embarrassment. Just search band maid translation. There are so many there.
@@dicodec I read an interview ages ago on Reddit where Saiki said she imitates or pretends she’s Miku for the light, soft vocal moments. For some reason, knowing that made my whole day!😄💪🏻🤘🏻
IMHO Saiki is one of the best vocalists for a very long time. Her voice contorl and vibratos are great, and she is very powerful when she need to be. In Daydreaming she is soft and low. If I remember it correctly she spans close to 3 octaves in this song. From A2 to G5 on the piano. I love her singing and with Miku on backing who does is a good singer as well, they make the Band-Maid vocal sound to stand out from the rest.
This is one of Kanami's solos that screams of emotion along with Mirage, Anemone, and Awkward. Alan tearing up during that solo is the same when I first listened to it.
The super-human band-maid ladies appear to have actual human emotions and they share them with us so we can remember we too are just human and that's why we love them.
Great song. The last verse; "I want to daydream, don’t let it disappear We cannot go back, so don’t go Stay next to me tonight Hold on, feel my soul" No wonder Alan is tearing up :-)
Alan, I can so bloody well relate to your reaction. This song totally hits the mark for me too. And I've caught myself several times shedding a tear or two for no apparent reason. This song is and remains for now my undisputed number 1 of the ladies, where from my point of view simply every detail is just right and contributes perfectly to the mood of the song. From the really beautiful vocals, the drumming and bass, to the brilliant guitar playing, which also reminds me a lot of U2, and then the solo, which feels like an emotional outburst in musical form... Kanami apparently feels the same way about this masterpiece, because she has already named 'Daydreaming' as her favourite song a few times. 🤘🏻 【 'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!' - Band-Maid 】🕊️
Beyond just a guitar solo, that is probably among the most moving musical pieces I’ve ever heard. Something about the way it starts with that screech absolutely blows up the emotional buildup of the song till that point. It being a guitar solo, only adds to the ambiguity and turbulence of the emotions. Very raw and freaking hits like a truck everytime. Can’t say it’s my fav BM song as there are many others that I feel are better overall but based on just the solo, this is handsdown Kanami’s best work so far in my books. Definitely her most emotional one too.
I love the contrast between such a pretty melodic verse and chorus then the dissonant, powerful guitar solo, which itself resolves into a pretty bridge.
Kanami-san’s expertly crafted solo exquisitely captures the heat-breaking agony of longing for a lost love. The rest of the song is perfect, too. One of BAND-MAID’s crowning achievements.
Great reaction, guys. I just mentioned this on the B-M reddit yesterday that there are 2 guitar solos that have legitimately given me chills. The first was Alex Lifeson's first solo on the Exit, Stage Left version of La Villa Strangiatto. The second is Kanami's solo on this song. Every. Time.
Honestly I hadn't been paying that much attention to BAND-MAID until a month or so ago, but now not a day passes without a daily dose of Kanami. Her guitar solos grab your heart and tear it apart, but for some reason make you feel much more wholesome. Perhaps you can feel her pure soul through her guitar? I just don't know why.
Daydreaming and About Us are the top 2 mid-tempo songs of Band-Maid, imo. I am really glad you guys, particularly Alan, liked it. Saiki's singing is awesome, and Micho has one of the best guitar solo in this MV. Thanks for your emotional reaction! I am touched😢
Truly a musical masterpiece, there's just nothing that Band Maid can't do, such a versatile group of artists creating their own genre, they have no rivals.
I have said it before, and I will say it hear again. This is a top 3 song from Band Maid, and the lyrics are as beautiful as the song sounds. I am very happy that you guys enjoyed it as much as you did. Great reaction! I will chat and see you guys on discord, have a great one!
I can't believe you've gone so far without hearing this song. Melancholy. It's something I miss from their new album. Edit: I generally can hold down the tears until Kanami's solo break the dam lol
@@rustygear447 Daydreaming, Anemone, Smile, Endless Story, About us, Page, Wonderland, Before yesterday,At the drop of a hat..Akashimahen+ Ansan(maiko style) my sleeping pills Spotify and iTunes playlist before bedtime 😗😜
One thing that I love about Band-Maid is when you watch the videos on the fan page, it seems like you could be friends with any of them. They are just that geniune
I too like that Kanami dipped into Edge's bag of tricks, but more I like that it's a one-off, because she felt it fit this song. She has influences, but she's so much her own artist.
@@GaryHolloway-810 In complete honesty, I judged him by his name when I was young, and it still sticks in the back of my mind. "The Edge? That's a dumb name." Dude could've eradicated world poverty and cured all disease, I probably would still have that niggle about him. Is that BS? Yes, 100%, yet there it sits filed away in the back of my head and pops up every time he's mentioned. Brains are weird, man.
@@crabuki1273 G.G. you don't have to say "in complete honesty" when you want me to be serious. Lol. I totally agree with you. Also "Bono" as well as "the Edge" would use the stage to implore us to donate to third world countries. I know they donate a lot to charity but when i saw multi millionaires on stage telling me to give money when i was struggling to pay rent each week smacked of hypocrisy :)
@@DavidMISAMISAMISACook yeah dave it's cookin' ! 90 f. for 4 days in a row. pool water got to 85 f. 2nd warmest it's been in 21 years. but look out - down to 68 f for the next 4 days with rain. how's everything at your end ? just out of curiosity what's the coldest you've ever seen where you are ?
@@DocOfRock-p4j -5c 23f i know laughable right but it is all relative I say when you are used to a low of 10 to a high of 26 most of the year minus 5 is BLOODY Cold
Don't worry Alan...I have seen at least 2 other reactors cry during Kanami's solo on this song. I get chills everytime I hear the solo and Saiki brings it home.
@@dicodec Just realized you all have never reacted to Real Existence Live. Might be their most high energy live video. Smoke, Lasers, Kanami Head Banging
@3:14 the u2 reference is so spot on. mincho-zilla's guitar tone and approach of the notes nod at the edge. take a close listen at the gorilla overlord's drumming and you'll notice her patterns [at the latter half of the verse towards pre-chorus] are a shade of larry mullen, too.
Wow, thanks for pointing that out. I was always impressed how Akane blends in this very martial drumming into an emotional ballad and makes it work beautifully, but yeah it's very reminiscent of Larry Mullen's drumming, I think especially on "Sunday Bloody Sunday."
I absolutely LOVE the drumming and the Bass Playing in this Song. Match Made in Heaven. that dish dish dugga dugga dugga dug drumming. That made me Fall in Love with Akane for the first Time.
My favorite thing about Kanami as a guitarist is that I 100% believe she could go off WAY harder than she ever does, but she doesn't because it wouldn't serve the song and it's not the type of music they play. She gives just enough to be tasteful, then pulls back and lets everyone else shine.
It's the way they hold the musical tension for so long through that chorus. There's so much longing in it and you want it to resolve so badly... they tease it, but then it doesn't... then it finally does and the emotional flood gates open. Just tremendous songwriting. Both this and Endless Story are often neck and neck for me. So if you haven't heard that one yet, you should!
The beauty of this song is that it is about a situation that almost everyone has experienced in life: forbidden love, someone already in love or out of reach and you can just dream of that love. The absolute beauty of Kanami's solo is that it makes you feel like everything you keep inside in such a situation comes out all at once. Fantastic song, fantastic artists.
There is a very equally endeared 'Live' version and if you find it you will feel it even closer to your heart...it is magnificent! Best reaction and with other Men as well because we love these girls and wish them much success...I play Rock and Metal myself as a guy...these girls are extra-ordinary.
"Daydreaming, dreaming of you." Saiki and Miku singing that together is magic. I've heard this song dozens of times and I still get a little damp. My favorite Kanami solo too.
Great reaction guys 🤧 "Daydreaming" is my second favorite BAND-MAID song. The number 1 being "Blooming" which you have already reacted to I sincerely think that Alan will not be ready for "G'OLD-EN-GUY" by Maximum the hormone 😁
i think when the person singing is so pasinoate and really feels the emotions they are singing, then there is something magical that happnes and through the medium of th voice the emotion itself is recorded, therefore we subconsciously feel it and the body reacts in kind
wow! Cant believe you guys hadnt heard this one. Classic song and one of Kaname's most iconic solos. Hope youve heard Wonderland - Live, or have tissues ready for that one too. haha
Not sure how it slipped by us probably the same way our Wonderland reaction slipped by you lol. It's right here. ruclips.net/video/YpACItMATnU/видео.html
Great ballad song from them but for me, Anemone is their absolute top tier ballad song. Well, Daydreaming used to be until Anemone sent it flying off the top. XD
@@dicodec There's an acoustic version of Anemone performed right after the acoustic Puzzle; just Kanami and Saiki. It's more personal and emotional but not very far from the album version like Puzzle. Check out World Domination track 12.
"I have no idea to this day what those two Japanese ladies were singing about. Truth is...I don't wanna know. Some things are best left unsaid. I like to think they were singing about something so beautiful it can't be expressed in words...and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell ya, those voices soared...higher and farther than anybody in a grey place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful pigeon (Po!) flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away. And for the briefest of moments...every last Master and Princess felt free"... Morethan Freebird
The first time I heard this song I thought "they out did U2 before U2 became a parody of themselves" it has that arena filling grandness but reaches into ones heart and makes you feel it is telling your story, expressing your emotion. This band is as Miku said,. A miracle.
How many times watching you keep tearing up😂idk why makes me giggle a lil bit..BNM JBI WD even Conqurer album and singles tears me up like someone leaving me for good 😂😂now came the UW makes me wanna s*it myself🤯😂but JBI is my all time fav (my first love)oh darn ..i always late for the streaming party
I feel you on that. This song always gets up in my feels. Especially at the solo. So short, but hits hard, then has that beautiful transition. Glad you guys reacted to this one
@Dicodec Alan this is my favorite Band Maid song. It always hits me right in the feels everytime i hear it. The combination of Saiki and Miku's singing, Kanami's phrasing and the atmosphere of the music is so powerful. I also appreciate your comment about The Edge. 100% agree it does have a similar feel
Finally! This remains 1 of my top favorite songs of theirs, even with all the killer stuff they've put out since. Alan, pass me a tissue. I've probly listened to this and live version 100x and heard it IRL 4x and I still get goosebumps & shed a tear here and there, every time.
.......for me.....every single member of this band is artisanal one of the best u can find in rock or metal music today.....the quality....the feelings.....the heart.........in german we say .........pures Herzblut in jeder Note........
Dude- I have watched dozens and dozens of Band-Maid reactions and have never seen a guy cry. But you know what? I did the same thing and it's cool- because it's a powerful song. Kudos to you for not editing that out. What's scarier is that they are even better live- check this song out performed by them LIVE.
Alan is an emotional dude who loves music. He isn't afraid to show that side of him. Kudos to you as well. Most definitely, we've seen their last two live concert and they were great!
It's amazing how they manage to take the listener on an emotional roller coaster, no matter what language he speaks or understands. I don't understand a word of the lyrics, but I can emotionally connect. Saiki's deeper and softer voice gives me goosebumps. The melodies and music give me a lump in my throat and Kanami's solo opens the floodgates.... 😢Every single time I listen to this song....
They have so many great songs. It’s been a year and you’re still getting some of their older stuff that’s great and haven’t heard yet. Also give Alan a 🤗🤗 for me next time you see him.
Even more tearful when you read these lyrics written by Miku: Daydreaming Daydreaming, don’t wake me up There's nothing I can do with a hoarse voice Stay next to me tonight Hold on, feel my soul As we swayed under the moonlight Our shadows blended together Clumsiness intertwined I hope tonight does not end This may be wrong Though I thought it was over I still want to believe I feel more alive in this moment Day Dreaming, dreaming about you Day Dreaming, dreaming about you So, I'm daydreaming, don’t wake me up There's nothing I can do with a hoarse voice Stay next to me tonight, Don’t go I want to daydream, don’t let it disappear We cannot go back, so don’t go Stay next to me tonight Hold on, feel my soul Feeling the distance of this breath Somehow I love you so much Our shadows start to move And dissolves in the early hours This may be wrong Though I thought it was over I still want to believe I feel more alive in this moment Daydreaming, dreaming of you Daydreaming, dreaming of you Daydreaming, dreaming of you Daydreaming, dreaming of you So, I'm daydreaming, do not wake up There's nothing I can do with a hoarse voice Stay next to me tonight Do not go I want to daydream, don’t let it disappear We cannot go back, so don’t go Stay next to me tonight Hold on, feel my soul
Thank you for your comments about the Edge's guitar style!! I love US on their guitar sound but never thought of the similarity with Kanami's sound. Now I am going to listen some of U2's early songs which the sound stands out more IMO. God I love band-maid anyway.
I adore this song, hauntingly beautifil. But it has a very melancholic vibe to it. mournful almost. you're spot on with The Edge analogy very 'Where the streets have no name'
This song is the perfect blend of melancholy and hopefulness! It was also one of the songs that kept me from completely losing my shit when the world shut down. Easily in my top 5 Band-Maid songs.

When a song triggers strong emotions even when you don’t understand the language. That’s perfection.
So true
@@dicodec I've heard others say that Japanese sounds harsh and not beautiful. This song is proof that that's BS.
Very sensual singing by Saiki, beautifully sustained by Miku, haunting guitar solo by Kanami, gentle bass loops by Misa, intelligent drumming by Akane. Just another masterpiece by Bandmaid.
So much talent in one band is absolutely amazing.
My favorite Kanami solo. I feel like I'm reaching for something beyond my existence every time I hear it.
Beautifuly put 👌
Well put!
Mine too.
I have played this video countless times, but I still can't watch it without a tissue nearby. I have absolutely no explanation to why I tear up. I just do!
It happens 🥲
I'm right there with you, friend. 😭. I think the explanation is that Kanami and the whole band are exceptionally good at conveying genuine emotion through their music, something that is at least as important as technical skill. The more I think about it, the more I think this is the reason that once they've hooked people, those people become rabid fans. IMHO.
Daydreaming is a masterpiece! It is Kanami’s favorite song and yet was her most difficult score to write! Cool
I can see why. It's so good!
SOME PEOPLE ONLY LIKE THE HEAVIER BAND-MAID SONGS BUT I LIKE ALL OF THEIR SONGS. THIS SONG IS STUNNING AND HARMONIZES WITH EVERY WARM MEMORY OF MY LIFE.

I always get lost Kanami's solo. It's one of her best. Also, Miku shared writing credits with Saiki on the lyrics. A rarity for this band.
That solo was so good! The song is just so dope. 🤘❤

Both this and Endless Story are often neck and neck for me. So if you haven't heard that one yet, you should!
So true. Yup reacted to that one.
Here you go.

The beauty of this song is that it is about a situation that almost everyone has experienced in life: forbidden love, someone already in love or out of reach and you can just dream of that love.
The absolute beauty of Kanami's solo is that it makes you feel like everything you keep inside in such a situation comes out all at once.
Fantastic song, fantastic artists.
Well said 👌
There is a very equally endeared 'Live' version and if you find it you will feel it even closer to your heart...it is magnificent! Best reaction and with other Men as well because we love these girls and wish them much success...I play Rock and Metal myself as a guy...these girls are extra-ordinary.
"Daydreaming, dreaming of you." Saiki and Miku singing that together is magic. I've heard this song dozens of times and I still get a little damp. My favorite Kanami solo too.
That part was definitely awesome! Such a great song and killer solo from Kanami
It's like they are in sync, not just vocally.
Great reaction guys 🤧
"Daydreaming" is my second favorite BAND-MAID song. The number 1 being "Blooming" which you have already reacted to
I sincerely think that Alan will not be ready for "G'OLD-EN-GUY" by Maximum the hormone 😁
Both absolute bangers. I think any top song list with them would be a good one haha. We are ready for that one my friend!
i think when the person singing is so pasinoate and really feels the emotions they are singing, then there is something magical that happnes and through the medium of th voice the emotion itself is recorded, therefore we subconsciously feel it and the body reacts in kind
Totally agreed ❤
wow! Cant believe you guys hadnt heard this one. Classic song and one of Kaname's most iconic solos. Hope youve heard Wonderland - Live, or have tissues ready for that one too. haha
Yeah no one mentions "Wonderland" much. Good shout RWS.👍
Not sure how it slipped by us probably the same way our Wonderland reaction slipped by you lol. It's right here.

@@dicodec well crap! lol
Always a pleasure to watch you guys awesome wonderful song and it's OK to tear up this way you know the song is doing its job be well
We appreciate that Monty. So true haha
That solo always makes me cry 🖤
So emotional 🥲
The whole beginning of the song was a buildup to that climactic solo from Kanami. Easily one of my top 5 Band Maid songs too.
I feel it. Gotta put it up there. It's just too good.
Always in my top 5 band-maid songs even though order changes all the time. Thanks!
I feel you. Might have to throw it up there myself. 🤘
Masterpiece ballad from Band-Maid!
Indeed it is 🥲
Emotional track: Correct reaction! Gets me every time. Brilliant.
🥲
The most amazing supergroup on the planet
They are amazing ❤
Песня красивая. Мне понравилась. Спасибо, друзья, за реакцию.
Kanami is great. Very emotional guitar work, and solo. Solo is tear inducing.
There is just something special about her it's hard to describe. Amazing guitarist for sure.
Great ballad song from them but for me, Anemone is their absolute top tier ballad song. Well, Daydreaming used to be until Anemone sent it flying off the top. XD
Oh man, we gotta hear Anemone then.
@@dicodec There's an acoustic version of Anemone performed right after the acoustic Puzzle; just Kanami and Saiki. It's more personal and emotional but not very far from the album version like Puzzle. Check out World Domination track 12.
"I have no idea to this day what those two Japanese ladies were singing about. Truth is...I don't wanna know. Some things are best left unsaid. I like to think they were singing about something so beautiful it can't be expressed in words...and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell ya, those voices soared...higher and farther than anybody in a grey place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful pigeon (Po!) flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away. And for the briefest of moments...every last Master and Princess felt free"...
Morethan Freebird
Totally feel you Phil!
The first time I heard this song I thought "they out did U2 before U2 became a parody of themselves" it has that arena filling grandness but reaches into ones heart and makes you feel it is telling your story, expressing your emotion. This band is as Miku said,. A miracle.
if you liked that - you will LOVE the song " about us" by band maid - it's my favorite
We will definitely check that one out.
@@dicodec I thought you guys already did....?
no i don't see " about us" in the listing .
How many times watching you keep tearing up😂idk why makes me giggle a lil bit..BNM JBI WD even Conqurer album and singles tears me up like someone leaving me for good 😂😂now came the UW makes me wanna s*it myself🤯😂but JBI is my all time fav (my first love)oh darn ..i always late for the streaming party
This band can do anything. And they are single-handedly keeping Rock alive as it withers away.
They really can, they just pop out banger after banger. 🤘
when you look in the book of compositions under rock ballad you find this
and yes.. edge shines all through this
Thanks awesome patron! Can’t believe you guys have not done this yet. Quite possibly my favorite Band Maid song.
……………………Akane!!
It definitely slipped through our radar but so glad we did it now though.
@@dicodec it was worth the wait 😢
Indeed it was
I feel you on that. This song always gets up in my feels. Especially at the solo. So short, but hits hard, then has that beautiful transition. Glad you guys reacted to this one
It really is such a great and beautiful song. Thanks so much for watching. 🤘
Masterpiece.
Indeed it is.
I dunno about you, Alan, but I still get a tear or 3 welling up every.single.time I hear that solo - and live? Fuggeataboudit.
@Dicodec Alan this is my favorite Band Maid song. It always hits me right in the feels everytime i hear it. The combination of Saiki and Miku's singing, Kanami's phrasing and the atmosphere of the music is so powerful. I also appreciate your comment about The Edge. 100% agree it does have a similar feel
They just have an ability to add really cool things, but subtle enough so they don't overwhelm the song......until there's a face-melting guitar solo.
So true.
I have the same allergic reaction to this song that you do, Alan. Every time I hear it, my eyes start watering too!
🤘😭🤘
Finally! This remains 1 of my top favorite songs of theirs, even with all the killer stuff they've put out since.
Alan, pass me a tissue. I've probly listened to this and live version 100x and heard it IRL 4x and I still get goosebumps & shed a tear here and there, every time.
Torally feel you man. This song is too good!
Here are your tissues 🧻
.......for me.....every single member of this band is artisanal one of the best u can find in rock or metal music today.....the quality....the feelings.....the heart.........in german we say .........pures Herzblut in jeder Note........
Couldn't agree more
Dude- I have watched dozens and dozens of Band-Maid reactions and have never seen a guy cry. But you know what? I did the same thing and it's cool- because it's a powerful song. Kudos to you for not editing that out. What's scarier is that they are even better live- check this song out performed by them LIVE.
Alan is an emotional dude who loves music. He isn't afraid to show that side of him. Kudos to you as well. Most definitely, we've seen their last two live concert and they were great!
kanami is my six string samurai
She's honed her skills as sharp as a razors edge :)
A six string samurai.......that's awesome!
this amazing song is an instant mood, and how you are at that time, catches you
It's amazing how they manage to take the listener on an emotional roller coaster, no matter what language he speaks or understands.
I don't understand a word of the lyrics, but I can emotionally connect. Saiki's deeper and softer voice gives me goosebumps. The melodies and music give me a lump in my throat and Kanami's solo opens the floodgates.... 😢Every single time I listen to this song....
Daydreaming, also my favorite BAND-MAID song.
Thanks
Oh awesome! Thanks for watching
Eric‘s „...your opinion... but YOU‘RE WRONG!“ actually made me lol 😂
Love you both 💕😂
Haha thanks! We love you too 🤘❤
Quite an honest reaction fellas. Really good to watch someone be honest. Music is supposed to move you.
They have so many great songs. It’s been a year and you’re still getting some of their older stuff that’s great and haven’t heard yet. Also give Alan a 🤗🤗 for me next time you see him.
Yeah it's dope that they have so much material to go over. Can't wait to hear more. I'll be sure to give him a big hug for you.
Then Mincho tips it out, fixes it, and puts it back in.
The solo is great but the foreshadowing in the intro and the buildup to the solo are critical to its impact also. Great song writing.
So true ❤
Even more tearful when you read these lyrics written by Miku:
Daydreaming
Daydreaming, don’t wake me up
There's nothing I can do with a hoarse voice
Stay next to me tonight
Hold on, feel my soul
As we swayed under the moonlight
Our shadows blended together
Clumsiness intertwined
I hope tonight does not end
This may be wrong
Though I thought it was over
I still want to believe
I feel more alive in this moment
Day Dreaming, dreaming about you
Day Dreaming, dreaming about you
So, I'm daydreaming, don’t wake me up
There's nothing I can do with a hoarse voice
Stay next to me tonight, Don’t go
I want to daydream, don’t let it disappear
We cannot go back, so don’t go
Stay next to me tonight
Hold on, feel my soul
Feeling the distance of this breath
Somehow I love you so much
Our shadows start to move
And dissolves in the early hours
This may be wrong
Though I thought it was over
I still want to believe
I feel more alive in this moment
Daydreaming, dreaming of you
Daydreaming, dreaming of you
Daydreaming, dreaming of you
Daydreaming, dreaming of you
So, I'm daydreaming, do not wake up
There's nothing I can do with a hoarse voice
Stay next to me tonight
Do not go
I want to daydream, don’t let it disappear
We cannot go back, so don’t go
Stay next to me tonight
Hold on, feel my soul
Thank you for your comments about the Edge's guitar style!! I love US on their guitar sound but never thought of the similarity with Kanami's sound. Now I am going to listen some of U2's early songs which the sound stands out more IMO. God I love band-maid anyway.
Kanami solo it's..................the best
So good!
I’m totally into Metalcore but this is one of favorite Band Maid songs and hands down my favorite Kanami solo.
I can get behind that
I adore this song, hauntingly beautifil. But it has a very melancholic vibe to it. mournful almost. you're spot on with The Edge analogy very 'Where the streets have no name'
Such a great song. Good to see we were on the same page with The Edge comment 🤘
wow! hit you in the feels did she
Indeed they did 🥲
John Entwistle played bass, piano, trumpet and French horn. Bassists are often multi-talented musicians (unlike me).
Uuh sweet she's voice
Nice videos Guys
🥁🎸🎤😍🤘
❤✌🥂
He voice is amazing 😍
This song is the perfect blend of melancholy and hopefulness! It was also one of the songs that kept me from completely losing my shit when the world shut down. Easily in my top 5 Band-Maid songs.
Such a great song ❤
it was filmed in Taiwan, i think the only one -so far
Really? That is cool!
if u want to react of world domination, then u will love ANEMONE. daydreaming, about us and anemone is in my top 3 bandmaid's melancholy song rn.
We are ready for more Band-Maid! 🕊❤
