Band-Maid has come a long way since "Thrill"! Try "No God" and "Freedom", live to get more MISA bass excellence and Akane killing the drum kit! These ladies rock!
Kanami's solo is sublime,followed by a drop off into the arms of angels. This song is powerful and gentle at the same time,just like BAND MAID. These women are a gift to us from heaven ❤
Akane has the best drum fills today. The way she plays with triplets and rests is magical. The Band-maid song H-G-K (the first 34 seconds🤯) is my favorite showcase of her impressive technique. No MV for that song but it is on their channel.
This rhythm section is unrivaled out there in my view. Akane (dr), Misa (ba) and meanwhile I count Miku (rhy.gt) as well, are beasts in their own right, but what they can create together is actually always a feast for the ears. The same goes for Kanami and her solos. Always fitting for the song. Never too exaggerated that you think afterwards that it was too much. And since she doesn't even start sweating with a tapping solo like the first one and obviously still had a few ideas left, she simply adds a second solo at a later point in the songwriting. That's just the way she is. :) Oh, and as you noticed, her first solo would have had nowhere near the impact it did without the support of Akane and Misa. The chemistry and understanding between all the ladies is amazing. :) I'm not really a fan of 'best in the world' statements, but at least I don't currently know any band that appeals to me more. I love these ladies and their music! 😎 I assume that you already got the comment once or twice, but with your nickname, the recommendation can only be 'Freedom' (Live). I'll just add 'Onset' and 'Play' (Live) to that. Greetings from Germany and in advance the best possible start into the new year! And of course, welcome to the pigeon-hole called 'Band-Maid'. :) 🤘🏻 _____________________ 【 _Our rock never dies ever. Forever!_ 】- from BAND-MAID 'Manners' 🕊️
Really makes me want to play guitar again... should have kept playing it in school... really regret it now :D Forgot almost everything about playing guitar and piano within 7 years... BandMaid really got that special thing I don´t really find in any other band right now... just great
Haha our Maid drummer Akane is really something special. If you continue with this band you will not be disappointed in her. She even impressed the great Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin fame.
Legend has it that Kanami (Lead Guitar/Primary Composer) came-up with the bare-bones idea for "Blooming" and challenged the rest of the band to write their parts/submit ideas and send them back to her. She then crafted this TOUR DE FORCE of a song. Love it! Thanks so much for checking the Maids out, TTD! PLENTY more where this came from. You LITERALLY can't go wrong with this band. Have a blast! 🕊
I see this is your first react to Band-Maid and you could not have picked a better tune to do so, this is one of their many Masterpiece songs IMHO. Every member is killing it here. MISA's chugging bass to Akane's kick drum and her intro slides are the best, Kanami tapping her tail off and the angelic harmonies of Miku and Saiki are the best. These girls are really special so please stay with them, you won't be disappointed. We forgive your "typo" (MADE) on the video title.........this time.......................Lol! Hurry Back, your enthusiasm is infectious! Band-Maid: Akane Hirose (Ah-kah-nee) "Gorilla" “Ah-chan” -Drums (Akane eats bananas a lot for her stamina during performances) MISA (Mee-sah) "The Barefoot Assassin"- Bass -(MISA always performs with no shoes and "kills-it" everything she plays Kanami Tono (Kah-nah-mee) "Mincho" “Kanamincho”- Lead Guitar/Songwriter Miku Kobato(Mee-koo) "Little Pigeon" Rhythm Guitar/Lyricist/Founder/Backing Vocals/Lead Vocals (Miku’s surname means “Little Pigeon”) ....po Saiki Atsumi (Sy-kee) "The Princess" “Si-chan” Lead Vocals
Great reaction! And the "Boia" is a sign of earnest appreciation if I ever heard one. If you keep digging into band maid discography, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. They have one of my favourite drums and bass combo. Buone feste!
Welcome aboard, TITD. You are embarking on (along with many others - 130 million YT views!) an awesome hard-rock journey with 5 incredible women. Here's my intro blurb for those who may be new to Band-Maid:
BAND-MAID’s songs and sound beat with the heart and soul of all rockers. But you’ll also hear heavy influences of Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Jazz, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Joy of Playing, Consistency (118 songs with their latest album, “Unseen World” and new single drops), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destined for mega-stardom. Each member's personalities are super interesting and their musicianship among the best. Their writing, arrangements and overall sound, especially guitar tones and drums, are kick-ass! Having seen them LIVE, I can honestly say their performance, sound, stage appearance, and band synergy is off the rails spectacular. Band-Maid is the only band in decades where I love nearly EVERY song they’ve done. I have over 70 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: ruclips.net/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/видео.html Their later songs from albums Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Warning, No God, H-G-K, Black Hole, Sense, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Glory, Choose Me, I Can’t Live Without You, and on and on. But don’t miss out on their powerful, beautifully written, mid-tempo songs like Daydreaming, About Us, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, Mirage and Smile... or more punky like After Life, Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like Manners and The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or a bit jazzy like Wonderland… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts! And many are represented with over 40 well produced music videos. ruclips.net/user/BANDMAID Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYU-JI concerts. Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA on February 14th (“Domination” ruclips.net/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/видео.html), ZEPP 2018, Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 (bandmaidprime.tokyo) and some of the better 2019 tour Fan vids are excellent. Here’s four of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at super intimate venues. These two taken by Vladimir Chupin in Hamburg: ruclips.net/video/__1th7ctgMo/видео.html, and a fun, wonderful live performance in Amsterdam of Miku introducing "Don't You Tell Me" (with MISA & Kanami's great instrumental exchange) and "Turn Me On” (with MISA's solo intro): ruclips.net/video/kfYQoWBlSpk/видео.html. The next one was taken by JT Dayo in LA: ruclips.net/video/4uIYBkAybCI/видео.html, and finally by JOSER8845 in LA: ruclips.net/video/usWZvlGGDSs/видео.html. If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, CD, DVD/BD & Merch, etc. bandmaid.tokyo Like most Band-Maid songs, I like them from the get-go but really start to appreciate them after more hearings and seeing their LIVE videos. I'll go back and see an older song like YOLO, Order, Shake That, Freezer, Before Yesterday, Real Existence, Non Fiction Days and Alone, etc. and realize there's no band that can consistently construct and play like Band-Maid. For fun, check out an awesome, little known "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009 Band-Maid members are: Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 27 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away her sometimes perceived, coldish persona. Saiki’s powerhouse performances, charisma, and voice focus the experience that’s driven her to the top echelon of hard rock frontwomen... or frontmen! Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 30 years old. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR SpokesPigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. Kuruppo! No, no, no… KURUPPO!! Kanami Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 30 years old, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want from Mincho is more! Akane Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, 31 years old, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) while revolutionizing rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumZilla” is the Party! MISA (Me-Sa) "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass, 29 years old. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin literally kills it… every note.. uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA! MISA! Maidiacs (Maid-e-acts) - Band-Maid’s crazed yet supportive, knowledgeable and loyal Super Fans. [BAND-MAID NEWS] ■ BAND-MAID PRIME - Special Video Distribution Website. ** NEW ** Along with nearly 50 great play-through’s by each member, concerts and skits, Band-Maid management / label(s) have finally included the ZEPP 2018 and Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 concerts at their Prime website! Fans can now see more than 50 great live performances with awesome audio, etc. like Fate, I Can't Live Without You and the great MISA / Kanami exchange in Don't You Tell Me. Those concerts are two of the best produced & performed concerts ever recorded, IMO. bandmaidprime.tokyo/ ■ BAND-MAID BREAKING NEWS Their Christmas acoustic concert was unbelievable. Replays are now available. And BAND-MAID USA TOUR 2022 will be held! Yea! Details will be announced as soon as possible. bandmaid.tokyo/contents/486225
KANAMI...MISA ...AKANE...THE TRINITY....great reaction...react..FREEDOM official live drum solo great...e complimenti le tue reazioni sempre fantastiche....BAND MAID E LOVEBITES...BABY METAL...il presente e il futuro della musica
So glad you enjoyed it ❣️ I'm sure this band will continue to amaze you. But please, if possible, correct the title, they are called Band-Maid 🖤 you'll probably get more views that way. Rock on! 😎🖤🕊️
your reaction was a great joy to watch. because you really love good music and show it in such a charming, genuine and passionate way. thank you so much.
Band-Maid is by far the best hard rock band on the planet ! The drummer Akane is considered one of the best drummers in the world male or female ! Some suggestions "Freedom" Live (Nice Drum Solo) "Domination" Live or "Real Existence" Live
Now you understand why Jimmy Page after watching Akane's drumming said that she was one of the best drummers that he's ever heard and that she reminded him of John Bonham.
Yay! It's always fun watching drummers appreciate Akane ripping things up! I have been holding my breath waiting for you to get to Band-Maid. Apparently though bonnets don't need silly little things like oxygen or breathing, so now that you've done it I don't know whether to breathe again or not. Aaaargh!
Welcome to the Band Maid rabbit hole. There are many tunnels of styles and they are ALL wonderful. I already told you about Choose Me. Just go to their page and pick one. It really doesn't matter. There are some slow ballad types songs, About Us, Anenome. Jazzy type....Start Over. Mostly just good head banging rock and roll. We MAIDIACS love seeing someone find these lovely SUPER TALENTED ladies.
You looked a bit energized listening to Blooming. That's what Band-Maid does. I recommend FREEDOM-LIVE for Akane's kickass drum solo. Then there are dozens and dozens more amazing songs. Enjoy your trip down the pigeon hole because BAND-MAID is Awesome. Peace. 1.16
What's awesome among the awesomeness of this song is that Kanamis tapping, is that she removes a note for 2 in each progression down & STILL KEEPS THE TIMING! Amazing!
If you are so much into drums, you should check out "Freedom" LIVE from their channel, there is an entire solo from Akane (drummer) and i think that will entertain you A LOT! :) Greetings from Germany!
If you loved Akane's drums in this song. You have to react to their live performance of their song Freedom. Akane has a great drum solo in it. As well as a guitar solo from Kanami. Besides, it's a really good song anyway.
Not hard to like it more than thrill- many BM fans are not much of a fan of thrill even tho it was their first hit. But since its 7yr old it really shows its age in their skill levels compared to now. And yes, blooming is a fantastic song.
akane, the drummer, has been described by 'a certain guy' named jimmy page, as a new john bonham btw imho this 'kinda' old live one is still their best ruclips.net/video/PWXBA_xa6l0/видео.html
When you react to Band Maid, EVERY new song you hear is going to be your favorite. THIS IS BAND MAID!!!! Welcome to being a MAIDIAC. Now...NEXT LEVEL. You haven't seen shit yet!!! PLAY and ONSET are both LIVE videos that YOU NEED TO SEE and EXPERIENCE!!!! PLAY @ ONSET @
Their live videos are a lot more fun to react to. Since you are a drummer May I recommend the following: BAND-MAID / FREEDOM (Official Live Video) ruclips.net/video/FHpuEqMAcDg/видео.html BAND-MAID / onset (Official Live Video) ruclips.net/video/mVrN-j_Uc0U/видео.html BAND-MAID / DOMINATION (Official Live Video) ruclips.net/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/видео.html BAND-MAID / Play (Official Live Video) ruclips.net/video/3LxX_t4vg7U/видео.html
Nice reaction to a fantastic song. There are a few other really great Japanese bands with amazing musicians that you should definitely check out. Gacharic Spin is an all female band that mixes tons of genres, the bassist is an insanely good slapper and funky as hell. They also have a side project with Fuki called DOLL$BOXX doing metal. I suggest starting with Mindset. TRiDENT is yet another all female band although it's only a 3 piece band, they play different styles of high energy rock. The musicians are great but I really like the lead singers voice. I'd go with Alive. Asterism is an instrumental 3 piece band but they are co-ed , they are already among the very best and are still only around 20 yrs old. They play metal and Hal-ca is one of the best guitarists in the world, the bassist and drummer are right there with her. Dawn is the obvious choice here. GS are my favorites of these because of their versatility though, just like Nemophila.
THISISTHEDRUMMER... I've exploried your IG. Please tell us you name. You are going to love taking the Band-Maid journey. With 118 songs, every one of them offers -- especially musicians -- something fresh, unique and totally satisfying. Myself along with many Maidiacs, fans and viewers will be with you for every expression, comment and note of your reactions. 🤘🎀❤
see? I told you their drummer & bassist is amazing. with this comment, I risked my self being mock again just like my request of this band in your LOVEBITES video LOL
Your need to catch up with some of their first songs like FREEZER but also some of their latest releases like HIBANA and the live version of WARNING . There's a variety of acoustic versions available as well
You said you liked "Blooming" much better than "Thrill" but I don't see a reaction to the latter. Just curious - is there a reaction I can't find or had you watched it off-camera? BTW: Most Band-Maid fans will agree with you, but still have a soft spot for "Thrill" because of how it relates to the band's story.
Hi🙃 Yes, actually I reacted to "Thrill" before than "Blooming", but I made a mistake so I uploaded "Blooming" before "Thrill" 😅😅. I will defenetly upload "Thrill" tomorrow!
Highly recommend you go watch >>> Band Maid "No God" Official LIVE. all the bass and drums you want. Then, go watch >>>>> Band Maid "Secret My Lips" Official MV. Listen to Akane. You are a musician. They will become your religion.
You said "Drums" 1k times, LOL. Now say "banana" 1k times because Akane (a-Ka-Ney, Band Maid Drummer) is half gorilla from what I hear. You have the best reactions with the oohs and aahs, Po! May I suggest the "manners" and "Blackhole" (220 bpm) Band Maid official video.
You've misspelled BAND-MAID, as BAND-MADE. There is no E. It's spelled like the Johnson & Johnson Brand bandages, BAND-AID, because they're Maids. BAND-MAID.
@@jay_g1984 I don’t care if you don’t like BAND-MAID but you lost all your credibility when you said that hard-rock died in the 80’s. You should check out other music and step out of your comfort zone. There’s no minefield, it’s all safe and sound. And if anything sucks, it’s your language.

Aswell as speaking the language of the drums Akane is also fluent in Japanese & gorilla. What a maid :)
You forgot fluent in food consumption, maybe
@@glenkelley6799 Damn, i did. The ramen queen is legendary :)

Like most Band-Maid songs, I like them from the get-go but really start to appreciate them after more hearings and seeing their LIVE videos. I'll go back and see an older song like YOLO, Order, Shake That, Freezer, Before Yesterday, Real Existence, Non Fiction Days and Alone, etc. and realize there's no band that can consistently construct and play like Band-Maid. For fun, check out an awesome, little known "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009
Band-Maid members are:
Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 27 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away her sometimes perceived, coldish persona. Saiki’s powerhouse performances, charisma, and voice focus the experience that’s driven her to the top echelon of hard rock frontwomen... or frontmen!
Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 30 years old. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR SpokesPigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. Kuruppo! No, no, no… KURUPPO!!
Kanami Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 30 years old, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want from Mincho is more!
Akane Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, 31 years old, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) while revolutionizing rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumZilla” is the Party!
MISA (Me-Sa) "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass, 29 years old. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin literally kills it… every note.. uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA! MISA!
Maidiacs (Maid-e-acts) - Band-Maid’s crazed yet supportive, knowledgeable and loyal Super Fans.

So glad you enjoyed it ❣️ I'm sure this band will continue to amaze you.
But please, if possible, correct the title, they are called Band-Maid 🖤 you'll probably get more views that way.
Rock on! 😎🖤🕊️
your reaction was a great joy to watch. because you really love good music and show it in such a charming, genuine and passionate way. thank you so much.
I'm glad that you like it. I can tell cause you were smiling most of the time. Just happy times.
thanks! I was waiting for this reaction. Band Maid is amazing!
I absolutely love your enthusiasm. Thank you.
Welcome to the fandom! Band Maid's drummer Akane is the happiest drummer I've ever seen. Her talent easily equals her mirth! :)
This song is the result of when the whole band writes a song everyone in Band Maid helped write the song love the react . Long Live the PO!
Freedom! Live in Tokyo. Drum solo!
Band-Maid is by far the best hard rock band on the planet ! The drummer Akane is considered one of the best drummers in the world male or female ! Some suggestions "Freedom" Live (Nice Drum Solo) "Domination" Live or "Real Existence" Live
Now you understand why Jimmy Page after watching Akane's drumming said that she was one of the best drummers that he's ever heard and that she reminded him of John Bonham.
Obligatory "No evidence of the Bonham comparison but asking for a pic with her is high praise indeed."
Yay! It's always fun watching drummers appreciate Akane ripping things up! I have been holding my breath waiting for you to get to Band-Maid. Apparently though bonnets don't need silly little things like oxygen or breathing, so now that you've done it I don't know whether to breathe again or not. Aaaargh!
when i first saw band maid this is the song i had on repeat for the longest and i was so hyped when it played on the movie Kate thats was pretty cool
Great reaction! Try 'Freedom' live for a full Akane drum solo.
Your reaction emotions come through the screen. So genuine.
Band-Maid. Blooming Brilliant!
Get ready for Band-Maid US Tour 2022. The date still unknown.
Welcome to the Band Maid rabbit hole. There are many tunnels of styles and they are ALL wonderful. I already told you about Choose Me. Just go to their page and pick one. It really doesn't matter. There are some slow ballad types songs, About Us, Anenome. Jazzy type....Start Over. Mostly just good head banging rock and roll. We MAIDIACS love seeing someone find these lovely SUPER TALENTED ladies.
You looked a bit energized listening to Blooming. That's what Band-Maid does. I recommend FREEDOM-LIVE for Akane's kickass drum solo. Then there are dozens and dozens more amazing songs. Enjoy your trip down the pigeon hole because BAND-MAID is Awesome. Peace. 1.16
What's awesome among the awesomeness of this song is that Kanamis tapping, is that she removes a note for 2 in each progression down & STILL KEEPS THE TIMING! Amazing!
If you are so much into drums, you should check out "Freedom" LIVE from their channel, there is an entire solo from Akane (drummer) and i think that will entertain you A LOT! :)
Greetings from Germany!
Think we have a new Maidiac here. Your reactions are awesome. At some point please do Daydreaming.
Pure Rock.
You need to watch 'Freedom' live for Akane's drum solo.
BAND-MAIDの音楽はいかがでしたか？くり返し聞くと、もっと発見が有りますよ～！
これからも楽しいリアクションをお願いします。
If you loved Akane's drums in this song. You have to react to their live performance of their song Freedom. Akane has a great drum solo in it. As well as a guitar solo from Kanami. Besides, it's a really good song anyway.
Not hard to like it more than thrill- many BM fans are not much of a fan of thrill even tho it was their first hit. But since its 7yr old it really shows its age in their skill levels compared to now. And yes, blooming is a fantastic song.
Drum ---> BAND-MAID - 輪廻 "RINNE"
More Drums --> Black Hole 😁
PLZ check Band Maid official 《live》 video of Freedom, Domination
from japan
You just main-lined BAND-MAID!
There is no escape for you now (not that you want one ;-))
am i the only one that everytime he hears a count in expects to hear kanami's solo in alone?
btw.. react to alone too :)
akane, the drummer, has been described by 'a certain guy' named jimmy page, as a new john bonham
btw imho this 'kinda' old live one is still their best ruclips.net/video/PWXBA_xa6l0/видео.html

You seems like the drumming. If yes, check out the song "Real Existence".
The drummer hits her drums like they owe her money.

Nice reaction to a fantastic song.
There are a few other really great Japanese bands with amazing musicians that you should definitely check out.
Gacharic Spin is an all female band that mixes tons of genres, the bassist is an insanely good slapper and funky as hell. They also have a side project with Fuki called DOLL$BOXX doing metal. I suggest starting with Mindset.
TRiDENT is yet another all female band although it's only a 3 piece band, they play different styles of high energy rock. The musicians are great but I really like the lead singers voice. I'd go with Alive.
Asterism is an instrumental 3 piece band but they are co-ed , they are already among the very best and are still only around 20 yrs old. They play metal and Hal-ca is one of the best guitarists in the world, the bassist and drummer are right there with her. Dawn is the obvious choice here.
GS are my favorites of these because of their versatility though, just like Nemophila.
THISISTHEDRUMMER... I've exploried your IG. Please tell us you name. You are going to love taking the Band-Maid journey. With 118 songs, every one of them offers -- especially musicians -- something fresh, unique and totally satisfying. Myself along with many Maidiacs, fans and viewers will be with you for every expression, comment and note of your reactions. 🤘🎀❤
see? I told you their drummer & bassist is amazing.
with this comment, I risked my self being mock again just like my request of this band in your LOVEBITES video LOL
Blooming is such a great song! You should check out more BAND-MAID!

It's cool, so please see.＾＾
MISA MISA MISA!
Great reaction. By the way, I think more people will find your video if you fix the spelling to "Band-Maid". Thanks again!
4分36秒 「unn...!」😆
4分41秒 「hehehe〜」😄
your point is upper than ever probably.
Your need to catch up with some of their first songs like FREEZER but also some of their latest releases like HIBANA and the live version of WARNING . There's a variety of acoustic versions available as well
🔥MAIDs ROCK🔥
Want to hear fast?...then check out BLACK HOLE by BAND-MAID.
You said you liked "Blooming" much better than "Thrill" but I don't see a reaction to the latter. Just curious - is there a reaction I can't find or had you watched it off-camera? BTW: Most Band-Maid fans will agree with you, but still have a soft spot for "Thrill" because of how it relates to the band's story.
Hi🙃 Yes, actually I reacted to "Thrill" before than "Blooming", but I made a mistake so I uploaded "Blooming" before "Thrill" 😅😅. I will defenetly upload "Thrill" tomorrow!
Good job!. Definitively this is your drummer. Akane Hirose.
well abnd maid and nemophila ...that's half of my playlist rgiht there....wasn't plannes but they just took it over
Highly recommend you go watch >>> Band Maid "No God" Official LIVE. all the bass and drums you want.
Then, go watch >>>>> Band Maid "Secret My Lips" Official MV. Listen to Akane.
You are a musician. They will become your religion.
one down, one to go. After your tests. I am a teacher.
React to Hanabie - We Love Sweets. You won't regret it.
You said "Drums" 1k times, LOL. Now say "banana" 1k times because Akane (a-Ka-Ney, Band Maid Drummer) is half gorilla from what I hear. You have the best reactions with the oohs and aahs, Po! May I suggest the "manners" and "Blackhole" (220 bpm) Band Maid official video.
Please react to hanabie - we love sweets, reiwa dating apps generation or LCG. You willl like it. Thanks
I'm glad you change the "Made" name, otherwise i thought this was a copycat band 😂😁
I want you to listen to "Giovanni"
Check hanabie - we love sweets ,
You've misspelled BAND-MAID, as BAND-MADE. There is no E. It's spelled like the Johnson & Johnson Brand bandages, BAND-AID, because they're Maids. BAND-MAID.
OMG I'm so sorry😱😱
Band Maid 🤦♂️ Screw The maids. Hard rock died in the 80"s. Haruna Haruna Haruna
You don't know what you're talking about, this song isn't even hard-rock
You just died musically, no open mind. Sure haruna is good but only one direction of drumming for her.
@@2abug Everyone says it "Hard Rock" don't tell me, tell everyone else. I really couldn't give a damn what's it called, All I know it sucks.
@@jay_g1984 I don’t care if you don’t like BAND-MAID but you lost all your credibility when you said that hard-rock died in the 80’s. You should check out other music and step out of your comfort zone. There’s no minefield, it’s all safe and sound.
And if anything sucks, it’s your language.
@@2abug Some people are so jealous.
