How long has this band been around?!? They were amazing!
They just finished their 10th anniversary tour.
@@thomasjmclain I’m late to the party! Glad I found them though. Killer! 🤘🏻
@@setonhillstudiosJust barely scratching the surface with these remarkable musicians. As prolific in composing and crafting tremendous rock music as any band before them - The Beatles, Zeppelin, The Who, Rush - those are their peers. Trust me, it’ll prove true if you stay on the journey.
Next?
- “Puzzle” - official live video - technical
- “Play” - official live video - fun
- “Influencer” - official MV - eclectic, progressive
- “Blooming” - official MV - inspired
- “Daydreaming” - official MV - a softer side
- “Dice” - official MV - banger
- “Why, Why, Why” - official online live - how?
It truly doesn’t matter. 100+ great songs…
Take care and rock on 🤘🏼🎸🥁🎤🎼🔥😎✌🏼
10 years ... starting in 2013. The brainchild of MIKU KOBATO, our flappy pigeon. This band has the most rabid following and the most loyal fans I know. Some of their "off the beaten path" music and B sides are worth seeking out ;) .
Formed in 2013 as the dream of 🌹 guitarist Miku, a series of random chance encounters brought these 5 together. They’ve come a long way. I’m an old blues rock guy and it’s no exaggeration to say this band is the most interesting and important artist since Tool, in my opinion
BASSのミサはピック持ちながらスラッピングする凄い人です。
NEMOPHILA、Unlucky Morpheus、sokoninaruもお勧め。

Watch the break in slower speed and you can see MISA (bass player) switch from slap to pick back to slap. She does it so quickly its spectacular. She hasn't lost a pick doing that in years!
Love watching people lose their BAND-MAID cherries! Hahaha.... Hold on to your butts this is going to be a wild ride.
you say Drum break? Check out FREEDOM... Akane(DRUMMER) goes crazy.... its from the same show
Congratulations on discovering the best band in the world today! Enjoy the ride!! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🔥🙂🕊
🔥🔥🔥 Let’s gooooo!!
Tip of the iceberg as they say. An Awesome 120+ song catalog will leave you breathless. Check out the MV for their latest instrumental FROM NOW ON for a rock/metal/prog masterpiece. And seriously after another 5 or 10 songs you still might not believe it until you have no choice but to believe. A miracle band if there ever was one. Peace. 1.3
Appreciate the feedback! I’m ready to see what else they have to offer! Thanks for swinging by! 🤘🏻🙏🏻
Amen to this, if you want to see the level of their musicianship, just watch From Now On. Then down the rabbit hole that is the Band-Maid catalog. Not one bad song in the mix. Good luck!
@@edwardmcalister8743 Appreciate it! So much to check out! 🤘🏻
The Lead Singer's name is Saiki, pronounced like Psyche. They just finished their 10 Year Anniversary Tour. They played Lollapalooza this year, and though the sound and camera work isn't as good as their production company's is, there's a song worth checking out, 'Hate'. It's some time's paired with 'Dice' because there's no pause between them. But even this mix isn't up to their usual standard. They have the room mics up to get the crowd singing along, which is nice, but it makes for a very ambient mix and it caused Akane's kick drum and MISA's bass to be very unfocused, compared to their usual LIVE sounds. If you want to hear what that's like try 'Real Existence' LIVE. That was straight off the board, no room mics. Also, check out their OMV for the season two closer of the Netflix anime, Kengan Ashura, 'Shambles'.
Hi Kanami! 🤟
Talented band - due to all the time that each of them has put into their instruments. This group is truly a miracle in how it all came together so organically and that each one would be so good and have such a wide range of musical influences. The more you check their catalog (over 100 songs) the more you'll understand how good they are.
Band-Maid- The queens of transitions and absolute monsters at their instruments.
Welcome to BAND-MAID , enjoy your journey down the Pigeon hole , MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! the Barefoot Bass Assassin . Band -Maid has been around 10yrs , same amazing 5 Ladies .
One deep rabbit-hole….I suggest From Now On (MV) next, then Freedom (official live), Warning (MV), Rinne (MV), Puzzle (official live) then the other 100+ bangers….
Thanks for the suggestions and swinging by the channel! So much to check out
Hey Seton Hill Studios, welcome to the world of Band-Maid !
Glad to have you with us on this journey !
Appreciate it! Glad to be on the journey! 🤘🏻
Lead guitarist Kanami Tono aka Mincho is imo 21st Centurys most impressive musicians. Pure genius and true Rock n’ Roll Star 🤘🔥❤️
You ain't seen anything yet with this band
Welcome to the one my holy trinitys (Band-Maid, Nightwish and The Warning). Greetings from the Nightwishland a.k.a Finland 🇫🇮
Greetings!! Thanks for stopping by the channel! 🙏🏻🤘🏻
The singer's name is Saiki 9:43 (pronounced Sigh - key' more or less). As for the rest of it:
Miku Kobato (rhythm guitar, vocals, main lyricist, band founder) aka 'Kobato', 'Koba' and occasionally Kuruppo or Cluppo, just to confuse you even more. She uses a stage name and her real name is almost certainly Mika Noguchi. 'Kobato' translates as 'small pigeon', which should help to explain all the references to pigeons and pigeon-holes.
Kanami Tōno (lead guitar, main composer, background keyboards) aka 'Kanamincho', 'Mincho', 'The Princess'.
Akane Hirose (drums, percussion, sequencing) aka 'Ah-chan', 'Achi' - likes bananas and claims to be a gorilla.
MISA (bass guitar) aka 'MISA MISA MISA', 'The Barefoot Assassin' - she doesn't wear shoes on stage hence the nick. Has been known to smile from time to time.
Saiki Atsumi (lead vocals, occasional lyrics) aka 'Saichan', 'The Ice Queen ' (but she's a lot less icy these days).
Miku worked in a maid cafe to support herself while she was trying to launch a career as a pop idol, whence came the concept of the band. She got the backing of her management company for a band that wore cute clothes and played cool, somewhat aggressive, music. She found lead guitarist Kanami on RUclips, Kanami invited drummer Akane (with whom she'd played on her own compositions as a solo singer/songwiter ) to join and Akane invited her BFF (and fellow Tokyo School of Music student) MISA to come on board with her bass. Miku eventually concluded that her voice wasn`t powerful enough to front a hard rock outfit so she half- replaced herself with Saiki and hit up Kanami for guitar lessons.
Thanks for all the information! You all are awesome and we appreciate you swinging by the channel! ❤️

Thanks so much!! Appreciate you checking out the page. More to come for sure! 🤘🏻
Yeah, the mix is not great on this. Kind of a shame, because this was the last show of their tour, and they had a full team of camera people to record it for a DVD/Blu-ray release, and the band was on fire that night. And right after that show came the COVID lockdown, so they ended up releasing tracks off it during the rest of 2020 to keep their fans happy.
Gotcha…well the performance was killer nonetheless!! Thanks for swinging by!
I was happy to see Band-Maid in Atlanta this past spring, then Babymetal and Hanabie in Louisville in September. Now I'm looking forward to Otoboke Beaver and LOVEBITES, both coming to Atlanta in 2024!!! Hoping for more announcements from other Asian female-led bands like Rolling Quartz and Voice of Baceprot. All these groups are superb!
You need to return to Band Maid! BTW - Band Maid & The Warning are big fans of each other. Also they're playing a concert together on 6/12 in Tokyo. I'll be there! 😎
Wow, I bet that will be incredible!
Best rock band in the world. They just happen to be all female and from Japan.
New full album dropping summer 24!
Awesome!!! Now that they are on my radar, I’ll be looking out for it!
Hello!Hello!Hello!
Better late than never, Seton Hill. If I told you how you will feel about this band after really diving into the pigeon hole, you wouldn't believe me. Trust me though, dive in! They are a miracle. Oh, and they are so good that you can pick virtually any of their 140 (lost track) tracks, and you won't be disapointed. Just keep in mind that they are all over the genre-spectrum, often within the same song - so it'll take a good 20 songs (!!) before you'll really appreciate the depth of their talent, musicianship and songwriting talent. The songwriting is other-worldly. It's a crime against humanity that all and sunder (especially sunder) aren't aware of these ladies because they are better than any drug - they'll always leave you happier than before you listened. Peace out!
Can’t wait to hear more! Appreciate all the info! 😎
I concur with the suggestion for 'FROM NOW ON'. This is the first video I saw of them and it hooked me for life. This song is an instrumental that showcases each member. Unbelievable musicianship. Saw them live and they are incredibly tight. I am an unabashed Maidiac for sure. When they hopefully come back to the US you have to go see them, I am for sure.
First of all great catch on the mix there was great wailing and gnashing in the Maidiac nation upon this Bluray release. So.. to get a better feel for their incredible prowess, I would suggest the following sequence:
- Blooming one of the best MV's
- From Now On one of 4 instrumentals ( their compositions are very dense and complex, so its good to see no vocals )
- back to live: Puzzle ( Tokyo Gardens ) is the latest and mix is excellent
Subbed for more Band-Maid... and maybe Nemophila, Hanabie, Babymetal, Passcode, etc. etc. 🤘
Appreciate that! There will 💯 be more coming down the line! 😎
The song right before this at the same show is Play Live. A really fun tune with lots of audience participation.
Sweet! Yeah the crowd was pretty live on this tune too!
Also, this was the 22nd song out of 23 in the set, and they are still bringing the energy! The recent 10th Anniversary tour finale at Yokohama Arena had 33 songs, lasted almost 4 hours, and was filmed for a Blu-ray release. It's going to be an essential purchase🤘
Welcome to the Maidiac world¡....Band- Maid is a band formed in 2013...they are:
Miku Kobato: Rythm guitar Zemaitis signature call the fly pigeon (she is an old pigeon of 810 years old)
Kanami Tono: Lead guitar PRS please call her Mincho
Akane Hirose: Drums..the queen of thunder
Misa: Bass Black cloud signature Bass aka The Barefoot Assasin
Saiki Atsumi: Vocals...the ice queen...but she laugh a lot...
Their catalog is long...more than 130 songs...my recommendations: Puzzle, Thrill, Freedom, Shambles, Flying High, Freezer...to start...
Regards from Chile¡
Appreciate all the info! They blew my mind. Can’t wait to hear more! 🤘🏻
Some corrections , Miku`s signature Zemaitis guitar is the Flappy Pigeon , Akane Hirose is the Gorilla , MISA`s Bass`s are made by Black Cloud Customs .
Seen them twice. Absolutely one of the best bands I’ve ever witnessed in concert
I'm old, seen live shows dating back to 1976. LOTS of shows, headliners, top of the charts. Big names, big crowds, but never ever have I been so enchanted with a live show like I have experienced with Band-Maid. I agree with you, best band I've ever witnessed. Maybe best band of all time.
Welcome! Live Band Maid is best Band Maid....

Welcome aboard, Seton Hill Studios. You are embarking on (along with many others - over 188 million YT views plus over 40 million reactor plays!) an awesome, progressive, 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 Prog, 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 (125 songs), 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 songs from albums Unleash, Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Shambles, Warning, No God, Different, Black Hole, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Don’t You Tell Me, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, 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, Memorable, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, At The Drop Of A Hat, 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 progressive like No God, Giovanni, and Black Hole… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like From Now On, Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts… or their many acoustic versions like Catharsis and Sayonakidori... and last but not least, their Anime hits like Sense, Glory and Unleash (from their own Anime MV (series?)): ruclips.net/video/7LB_EPS48HE/видео.html)
And many songs are represented with 50 well produced music videos. ruclips.net/user/BANDMAID
Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYU-JI concerts:
ONLINE OKYU-JI (Feb. 11, 2021) “No God” ruclips.net/video/nAdWnIRjGak/видео.html
Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA (February 14, 2020) “Domination” ruclips.net/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/видео.html
ZEPP 2018 “Real Existence” ruclips.net/video/-qQnKILR5u0/видео.html
Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 and other full concerts are on bandmaidprime.tokyo, bili, and official Band-Maid’s DVD/BD/CD.
“P and D⁴” 30+ Photo Collage videos at www.youtube.com/@PinD2/videos
And some of the better quality fan videos are excellent. Here’s two of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at an intimate venue:
Shot by Pat McKee from their 2023 US tour concert in Detroit: ruclips.net/video/DgxU-MVjta0/видео.html
See the Maids 2023 Rockville Festival’s short-set perfection performance: ruclips.net/video/vjZkNeoGmhc/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:
Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “StarQueen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 29 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, 32 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, 32 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, 33 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, 31 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. Along with nearly 50 great play-through’s by each member, concerts and skits, Band-Maid management / label(s) have included the Acoustic Christmas 2021, ZEPP 2018 and Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 concerts! 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
The Maids SOLD OUT 2023 US & Mexico tour wrapped up and was a fantastic success. And so many great live fancams to watch! Their playing and antics were as fresh and fun to experience from first show to last. BRAVO Band-Maid!!!!! In addition, their Japan tour finished up with 13 concerts, AND they’re writing and recording for their new album. Their 10th Anniversary Tour concluded at Japan’s 17,000 seat Yokohama Arena on Nov. 26, 2023 and in Hong Kong Dec. 21!
The Maids are one of the hardest working super groups in the business! Their music, their sound, each of the Maids, and the love that permeates their live events is an experience not to be missed. Hope you can catch them LIVE!
Thanks so much for the detailed comment! I would love to catch a live show! We have been loving exploring new bands and meeting you all. Hope you enjoyed the channel so far and can’t wait for the future videos! Have a great one!
@@setonhillstudios Thx! Looking forward to your next Band-Maid, The Warning, Jinjer and Lovebites reaction.
If you are a musician, I recommend the following three songs.
Onset live:
A complete rock instrumental masterpiece.
Just by listening to this, you can tell that they are top notch.
Without Holding Back:
Very funky bass line and bouncy drum and guitar solo. The talent of the genius Mincho is exploding.
FromNowOn:
Super tight drum playing and crazy guitar. A undulating base.
BAND-MAID has many great songs, but I recommend these three songs to understand what they're doing behind the vocals.
enjoy!
Appreciate that!! All about a funky bass line and some super tight drums ripping through some crazy guitar parts!! Thanks for stopping by the channel! 🤘🏻🔥
I enjoyed your response, thank you. I agree with you, I'm also dissatisfied with the volume of the bass and guitar solos in this video. Now, as for the recommended songs...all of their songs, this is no joke. For now, why not listen to the live versions of "Freedom" and "Play" and the instrumental versions of "WITHOUT HOLDING BACK" and "ON SET" (live). I highly recommend them.
Thanks so much!!! So much to get to! Thanks for checking out the channel! 🙏🏻
This was song # 22 of 23 at their 2020 Shibuya concert (their last live performance before the pandemic lockdown) so you clearly see their talent, high energy, endurance, and dedication. Welcome to the BM rabbit hole; it only gets better from here:
Freedom (2020 live)
Shambles (MV)
Warning! (MV)
Secret My Lips and Secret MAIKO Lips (MV)
Dice & Hate? (2023 Lollapalooza)
From Now On (MV)
Blooming (MV)
I’m ready!! Thanks for swinging by the channel!
As a drummer, Freedom live should be next. The 🦍🥁 says so, Po!
Appreciate the feedback!!! 🥁🤘🏻
He's right, Freedom is definitely the song you should listen to next as a drummer.
@@evilducks3710 Thanks!! It’s on the list for sure! 🤘🏻
Okay, names, pronunciation, nicknames, and roles, in order that they joined the band.
Miku Kobato - mee-koo - Kuruppo, the Little Pigeon, the Little Engine Who Will - band founder, backing (and occasionally lead) vocals, rhythm guitar, principal lyricist, tireless Spokespigeon and PR machine. Wielder of weapons grade cuteness. So determined to see her band succeed that she fired herself as lead singer (she decided her voice wasn't strong enough for hard rock), then went looking for a replacement. Learned to play guitar after the band was formed.
Kanami Tono - kah-nah-mee - Kanamincho or just Mincho - lead guitar, keyboards, principal composer and arranger. On stage, she's a savant mad riffer with a room temperature IQ and a huge crush on Saiki. In reality, she's a genius, and not just musically- she has a degree in economics with honors from Tokyo University.
Akane Hirose - ah-kah-neh - A-chan, the Gorilla - drums, sequencing, snacks, the leader the band doesn't have. What you see is what you get- a cheerful jock with a huge appetite who burns off the calories murdering her drums. Frequently snacks between songs.
MISA - mee-sah - the Barefoot Assassin, MISA MISA MISA! - bass, booze, occasional wet work. Usually stone faced. Barely acknowledges the audience's existence. Always has a beer or a bottle of Jim Beam on her Orange amp. Originally, these were ways of coping with stage fright. These days, that's just how the assassin rolls.
Saiki Atsumi - sah-ee-kee (but Psyche is close enough) - the Ice Queen, Sensei, Sai-chan - lead vocals, some lyrics, the "We're done" girl. Fashionista and train nerd. In total command on stage; hides behind Miku off stage (she's actually kind of shy).
Thank ya!!! ❤️
Tip of the iceberg for these amazing ladies! They are a live band for sure, but don't miss their mv's, no bad songs from these ladies!
And in their MVs, the visual symbolism in some of them is fascinating to me.
When they encircle the drummer, they're all making faces on each other. Trying to make each other laugh or miss a little bit. That's good. Teamwork and friendship and trust.
Catch the live version of Dice/Hate and experience an epic rock battle. Daydream , I consider the best song this century..
Hi. Just finished watching your Lovebites video. Enjoy.
Welcome to Band Maid. Your one stop shopping for nearly everything music.
My great grand daughters introduced me over a decade ago and it has been a great ride.
I thought good music died in America, but it just moved to Japan.
Rock, oldschool rock, blues, funk, metal, thrash, ballads, easy listening, pop, punk, acoustic, instrumental, coffee shop hippie; pick one and any Band Maid fan can name five or more for you to check out.
I am waiting for them to do a country song so that the complete the set, and I know that if/when they do, it will be incredible.
I envy you the journey ahead with this group. Sadly, I can not hear any of their songs again for the first time. Gladly, they keep writing more.
Thanks for the welcome! We are definitely gonna be digging into more and glad to have you with us for this journey!
Glad to hear it. You will not be disappointed. My grand daughter introduced me to Ningen Isu. Now the great grands call them 'Band Maid's grandpas'.
So much good music out there.
It will be a joy to join you; like sitting with a friend to discover new wonders.@@setonhillstudios
Welcome to the Maidiacs.
🤘🏻🤘🏻
One might say they are currently the best band in the world. I always enjoy people's first reaction to this wonderful assemblage of ladies. Your's being no exception. Thank You.
Thanks for hanging with us! ❤️
@@setonhillstudios My Pleasure
Great reaction - You are just scratching the surface with Band-Maid. Check out their latest videos from their legendary 10th Anniversary Yokohama concert. They played for over 3 and a half hours. They have 130 songs and climbing to their catalogue. "Hate?" live at Yokohama would be my next suggestion. They were also touring the U.S. the past 2 years. They will be back.
Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the suggestion!
Have you done NEMOPHILA yet? They are another all girl Japanese band but are heavier than BAND-MAID. Try their song Rise. Back to BAND-MAID and they have well over 100 songs so don't sell yourself short and not explore the rest of their work because they are probably the best rock band in the world. Not hard rock and definitely not metal (unlike NEMOPHILA who are punk metal) just rock but very good. Even their earliest stuff is very good.
Not yet, but somebody did mention them to us earlier. We are 💯 going to check them out! So much good music out there to explore! Thanks for the suggestion! 😎
Welcome & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 Band-Maid is one of the best bands in our country, especially in live performance. We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". The history is very long and the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Speaking of hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since as early as 1970s : Led Zeppelin / Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Deep Purple (1972), Queen (1975), Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick / Van Halen / Scorpions (1978), Judas Priest (1978/79) and so on. Now, any type of rock can be enjoyed here, especially by many all-female or women-fronted bands. They are daughters of American / European rock, for sure. (Many are grand-daughters in terms of age.)
Uh-oh, we also say "Japan is the country obsessed by Jazz". It had started earlier than rock 😄
Thank you from watching from across the globe! That is so cool that you all are entrenched in the great culture of Rock & Roll!! 🤘🏻 We appreciate you checking out our channel and commenting! 🙏🏻
Love this band. Exactly what I look for when I want some fresh new Hard Rock sound. I love their live of "Play" live... or something a little different with their latest instrumental called "From Now On", or the MV of their latest release... a song called "Shambles". You can pick anything really and can't go wrong...
Appreciate it! Excited about hearing their other stuff for sure!
You still have two more bands that you really need to check out Nemophila and Hanabie 🤘
They are on the list for sure! So many great bands out there it's hard to hit em all! Thanks for swinging by the channel! We appreciate it!
I know that look when I see it down the pigeon hole you go poe!
This mix was a first for the crew as they elected to record from the speakers instead of the board. Their 2017 and 2018 Japan concerts were much better, and from this concert to present is way better mix. Stick around with Band-Maid because these girls are for real! I've been a fan for almost four years, they just creep into your soul and you can't shake them, no matter how hard you try, I saw the LIVE in Charlotte this past May and I never thought I'd EVER be able to see them LIVE, but there I was.
THE best Hard Rock band on Earth. Think that covers everything.
🤘 they rock for sure 🤘
If you want to hear some more Akane (drummer) songs, you should check out Alone (that's probably one of my favorite songs) and Freedom (Live). Both of those seem like their specifically designed around her. I know there's a lot more, but I've been listening to each of their albums over and over again every day that if they were Cassettes or CD's they'd already be worn out by now. Akane is unimaginably amazing and the more you listen, the more it becomes apparent. Comparing to Lars is like vomiting in her face lol
🤣😂 Obviously Lars ain’t on her level! One of my favorite past times is watching Lars Fail Compilations! 😆 Thanks for the suggestions! I definitely plan on digging into much more of their catalog. Appreciate you swinging by the channel!
Always out to create more Madiacs ;)
The greatest thing about this band is that the focus on the entire band. There is no focus on one or two of the members. They all get solos, (even if it's different songs) sometimes all of them get solos in the same song! It's like nothing I've ever heard until I found them. Who said Rock n Roll is dead? @@setonhillstudios
And one of almost everyones pasttimes is watching Lars fail. There's almost nothing funnier lol @@setonhillstudios
@@fifis677 Good point! Just have to find the great artists in some of the filth! 🤘🏻😎
Best band on the planet
🤘
Band-Maid best hard rock band and Lovebites best heavy metal band
They are frighteningly technically proficient...This kind of band, this ain't a "we'll go out there and see what the vibe is like, and maybe jam on E to start". You gotta know what you're doing and where you are or they'll just leave you behind...That chorus got a little Westerberg in it...
💯 Thanks for watching!
Maidiacs Incoming! 🎉
Welcome.
Ten years and counting with the same five musicians. You have plenty of catching up to do
You’re absolutely right about the mix here. It’s a shame for such a magnificent performance.
Band Maid is a musician’s band. Like Rush, Tool, and even Steely Dan long before them. They write complexities inside of accessible chord progressions.
Ask all the questions you have. The Maidiacs are walking Maid-Wikis.
As a fellow musician, I want to send you down the path that offers you the most bang for your reaction time.
1) “Moratorium,” live @Zepp. Much better mix. Progressive alt rock with more hooks than a tackle box.
2) “Onset,” official live video. The Maids consistently outperform their studio tracks, and this full instrumental is no exception. Rush meets U2.
3) “Blooming,” music video. The rare instance when studio is better, so far. If you’re into music theory or songwriting devices? This is a masterclass.
Enjoy the ride 🚀
Band Maid: 2nd to none!
🤘
Congrats on going BAND-MAID and all the goodness to com from this Japanese journey ❣🤘🙏
MISA MISA MISA!!!!!

@@DavidMISAMISAMISACook yep, too long. With the influx of many new fans my relentless bird dogging can be carried on by the energy of the current wave of Band- Maidiacs. I hope everything is going well for you and your family. 🙂
@curtisrrobles7885 All well thanks you and yours I hope are also
@@DavidMISAMISAMISACook yes it was, Mahalo 🤙🏽
The thing about "Domination"..... it isn't even one of their best 50 songs.
In that case, I have alot of songs to check out! 😎🤘🏻
Lyrically they have better, but I love it. I consider it comparable to Dice.
If you're a Fan of "One" by Metallica I would suggest "We Are" by Aldious
They started the Japanese all Female Hard rock/Metal explosion.
A lot of good suggestions already. All I have to say is... That smile on your face is the gift of Band-Maid to you, every time.
Thanks for swinging by the channel! 😄
Like drum solos? Same concert. The song FREEDOM.🤯

You have reacted to Lovebites and Band Maid and both kick ass. You are missing the other 2 most popular female metal bands from Japan, Nemophila and Hanabie. All 4 bands are unique and all 4 slay. Try these out Nemophila-Oiran live: ruclips.net/video/5qABnfChpbk/видео.htmlsi=YQhPcqM0qrSwDd4n and for Hanabie-Pardon Me I Have to Go Now ruclips.net/video/fuFbQ-Mewfw/видео.htmlsi=vcO-ZJit_Ho7OCCU
Thanks for the feedback! We will definitely check em out soon! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@setonhillstudios
Nemophila is a supergroup of established musicians, who are similar to Band-Maid in the aspect of creating a variety of music. They began in 2019 making a few covers to showcase vocalist Mayu, whose band Lipstick had just broken up. Aaand they had fun and it snowballed. They just released a power ballad, Odyssey. They have a string of original metal numbers and some classic metal covers. Mayu can do harsh screams and pivot to clean vocals in a millesecond.
They are superb.
Want to mention that Lovebites drummer Haruna is 4'9" and has been described as a pocket nuke, playing hard and fast for most of 2 hours straight. She is also a friend of Band-Maid's Akane, who recently completed an epic 3 hour and 40 minute concert in the 17,000 seat Yokohama Arena, and Lovebites was attending.
Hanabie is... controlled chaos. Insane energy. I enjoy describing these bands but that is all the description I can think of. Gotta hear them too.
Okay I'll shut up. My enthusiasm for these youngish lady rock and metal bands has been like a new religious proselyte for about 8 years, since I found Band-Maid and started exploring! Rock on!
Now check out Nemophila"s Dissension. Another all female Japanese group that kicks butt!
Just checked it out! Video dropped today! They blew my mind too! 🤘🏻😎
@setonhillstudios haha, OK, will check out!
How about Hanabie, We Love Sweets! Another all female Japanese rock band?
@@jaedo6180 If you don’t mind, swing by the community tab and throw it on there so we can find it! Thanks so much! So many awesome female Japanese bands!
@setonhillstudios ok I posted the link in the What should I listen to next post in your community tab!
@@jaedo6180 Appreciate it so much!
Welcome to Band-Maid! The best hard rock band I have heard in my 57 years on this planet. They don't stick to any one genre and often mix genres in songs. They are extremely diverse and have an extensive 10 year back catalogue featuring Punk, Pop-Punk, Hard-Rock, Classic Rock, Metal, Prog, Blues, Jazz, Groove, Rap etc. From face melting 220 bpm punk-prog to ballads, instrumentals to acoustics they do it all. They are also five of the nicest people in music, without a shred of ego. They are funny and fun and bad-ass musicians to boot. They are currently celebrating their 10th anniversary with the original line up. Who are:
Miku Kobato "Little Pigeon" - band founder - rhythm guitar and second vocals. Main lyricist. Claims to be an 810 year old pigeon and makes pigeon noises when she speaks. Po! Very good at poker, into horses - betting on them and eating them. Very clumsy, may fall into ditches. The heart and soul of the band.
Saiki Atsumi "The Ice Queen" - Lead vocalist and frontwoman. The youngest member at 29. Into train spotting and collecting trainers (sports shoes). Very girly, into doing her nails and is a fashion icon. Really into Baseball and the Hanshin Tigers. Don't mess with her you will lose. But she has a heart of gold and a killer dry sense of humour. Recently started writing lyrics. Has final say on songs.
Kanami Tono - "Kanamincho" or usually just "Mincho" for short. Lead guitar and an absolute genius songwriter. Total riff machine. Has two personas. Normally a tiny cute shy and very polite lady who seems very innocent (the band have to explain dirty jokes to her). Until she puts on her guitar. As the band say "then she gets quite violent" - she turns into the shredding rock star she is. Takes guitar off, back to the little girl. Likes cake, coffee and is totally infatuated by Saiki. She adores Saiki very much, to everyone's amusement.
Akane Hirose - "The Gorilla" on Drums. Seems to be the sane member of the band, but is actually the band clown. Has an enormous appetite, seen eating in a lot of MV's. Eats a lot of bananas including on stage, hence the nickname. But she is terrible at actual cooking. Usually has a big grin on her face while drumming manically, Akane was also a DJ (under the name DJ Achi) and likes dancing and goofing with MISA.
MISA (all caps, no last name) "The Barefoot Assassin" on bass. An absolute bass prodigy, MISA is very shy onstage (a total clown offstage with Akane). Nickname comes from the fact she plays barefoot and looks like an assassin. Because of shyness often drinks onstage, you can often spot a bottle of Jim Beam on her amp. She drinks it neat. Lately drinking more beer than whiskey though, good girl. Doesn't say much, but when she does it's usually totally hilarious! At a lot of concerts you will hear the fans chanting MISA! MISA! MISA! which has become a slogan.
Thanks for the detailed comment! We always like digging into the new bands we hear and not just keeping it surface level! Appreciate you swinging by and taking the time to fill us in!
Many Japanese bands and artists love to mix English into their songs.
Another band that you should check out is Scandal. If you want I can give you couple of links to their songs
I’m all about learning about new bands so go ahead! Thanks for sharing!

@@setonhillstudios sent you links did you get them?
@@malcolmrush Not seeing them. Where’d you send them?
@@setonhillstudios the day you reply to my comment. Guess it got deleted because of links
Japan is the Rock and Metal capital of the world !
It's so refreshing to watch all these young , innovative , insanely talented bands perform their stuff live - faultlessly - rather than a bunch of geriatrics lip synching to backing tracks ( and even having to use cue cards to do that much )
🤣
💯 Thanks for watching!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I'm curious as to why you asked for more Band Maid recommendations and only listened to the one song. Did no one give you recommendations? I find that surprising. So let me give you a few.
Here are some songs I like ( in no particular order):
Honkai, brand new road, start over, order, alone, Arcadia girl, choose me, why why why, chemical reaction, don't apply the brake, shake that, glory, Beauty and the beast, don't you tell me, bubble, daydreaming, different, don't let me down, the nonfiction days, moratorium, cross, take me higher, time, secret my lips, fate, Rock in me, clang, turn me on, wonderland, bubble, the dragon cries, warning, blooming, no god, afterlife, hgk, Giovanni, from now on, corallium, influencer, shambles, before yesterday, I still seek revenge, freezer, reincarnation(rinne)
Thanks for the suggestions! Some of the struggle is what RUclips will allow you to post without copyright issues!
@@setonhillstudios distance from their official Channel there's no problems as a matter of fact the band likes to watch the reaction videos
Miku Kobato - Rhythm guitar, backing and co-lead vocals. Founder Nickname is Small Pigeon or just Pigeon.
Saiki (Sigh-key) Vocals, piano. Band nicknamed her Psycho.
Kanami Tōno - Lead guitar. Main writer for music. Call the Burgermeister as she is the mad scientist of riffage writing the most monstrous riffs to be let loose on the ears. She is pure musical genius. Nickname is Mincho.
Misa Misa Misa - Bass. Nicknamed Barefoot Ninja Maid Assassin.
Akane Hirose - Drums. Strongest and most normal of group. Loves bananas. Nicknamed Gorilla by band.
Got to see them in Dallas House of Blue on Oct 21 2022. Most fun I have ever had seeing a band live. They are much better live than on albums.
Band-Maid concept comes from Japanese Maid Cafés. Miku worked at one where she served Master and Princesses bringing refreshments and food, playing boards games, video games, cute dances and casting magic spells. She thought about being a rock star in a band with cute girls in maid uniforms playing hard rock. Formed in 2013.
Miku wrote down her concept and presented it to her agency. They approved. Internet search and she found Kanami. Kanami worked with Akane and suggested he. Akane had Misa in her music school and thought she might like to join. Saiki came in when Miku recognized her voice didn't have enough oomf.
Miku started to learn guitar to help fatten the sound of the band. Kanami is her teacher. Seeing Kanami and Miku jam together is really special. Kanami is super proud of her student.
That's the short of it. There is a whole lot more.
Band-Maid just celebrated their tenth anniversary with with a 3-1/2 hour marathon concert at Yokohama Arena this last Thanksgiving weekend. With just about any Band-Maid video (particularly live) it's immediately apparent how talented they are. They have a unique style, all their own, that embraces multiple genres. They're hard to pin down. They take risks and experiment with their songwriting processes; they are immensely creative with their compositions, their lyrics, and their musicianship. Their showmanship and stage presence is unmatched. You have to see their show: a totally unique experience where they play awesome music, then 'take a break' and interact with the audience, ribbing each other, and generally having a great time. You saw how engaged they had the audience during "Domination"? The entire show is like that. Everyone leaves a Band-Maid show with a huge grin on their face.
Here are a few Band-Maid Songs to react to: "Puzzle" live at Tokyo Garden Theater, "Dice / HATE?" Lollapalooza 2023, "About Us", "Daydreaming", "Choose Me", "Endless Story".
They do instrumentals: "From Now On" and "Onset" are masterpieces.
I encourage everyone to visit Band-Maid's RUclips page and try songs at random: they are consistently good songwriters.
BTW - Band-Maid's 1st video, "Thrill", now has over *Twenty Million Views*
Thanks for the detailed comment!! They clearly are amazing musicians and from the little I have seen, I can tell they bring joy to the audience and their live shows are top notch! I would love to get out to a show of theirs (maybe one day). Appreciate you checking out our channel and we will definitely be digging into more of their tunes in the future! 🤘🏻
I don't know how many Japanese female lead rock groups you have discovered so far, but from what I have come to realize is that there is no end to it. It started with the RUclips algorithm suggesting Baby Metal to me 3 or 4 years ago. I have never been more grateful for those suggestions. I usually get annoyed by them. I am obsessed. From metal to punk and hard rock, there are so many great ones. Right now, I have been obsessed with Nemophila, Love Bites, and Trident. I just got into them over the summer. I hope you get to experience them yourself. I actually have a spotify playlist with more than 15 female Japanese bands on it. They really are incredible.
So far, what we have discovered, we have loved! These bands have been amazing and I’m glad we stumbled on them! Thanks for swinging by!
Only fourteen hours late . But never to late for BAND-MAID.
Better late than never! Thanks for swinging by!
@@setonhillstudios I see you've meet a few of the Maidiacs. Anything you need to know just ask one of us. There's alot to take in but worth every second.
@@jeremydawkins8814 Will do! Thanks man!
Great reaction. Anyway, can i request your reaction to superb band from japan?
The band is call "Lovebites"
They all The Beautiful Queens Metal band right now in the earth.
They are really really World class musicians. Phenomenal.
And they have a lot die hard fans too.

Hey there! We did a reaction to Lovebites a few videos ago! They were so so good! Swing by the channel and check it out! Thanks
