I'm glad you pointed out the girl in the chair with her doll; blindfolded to the possibilities until she rolls the dice, takes off her blindfold, and walks into the light.I know everybody else sees it as creepy but to me its a powerful symbol for taking control over your own life. I like the sudden ending too; it repeats the opening riff four times so it should be obvious the song is coming to a close, then Kanami repeats it solo once, definitely the end, but then for about four or five notes it sounds like it is going back to the pre-chorus. Nope, its a fake-out.
I always felt like it was saying I have dice come play with me. Her dice are on her chest and are always two. If you get me. That probably isn't the meaning but it should be.
G'day Anastasia. Once again, great to see you smiling while the Maids do their thing! Really appreciate the comments on the MV, sometimes overlooked by others. Even their live videos show so much thought and direction - they must have great people help put these together. I expect you will really like the MV to Band Maid's "Bubble" - it has clever homage to the movie about Freddie Mercury and Queen "Bohemian Rhapsody" - everyone is a fan of Freddie, including Band Maid!
If you like heavier try *_"Rinne"_* ...also waiting patiently for *_"Onset"_* official live. Keep doing what you're doing....Rock N' Roll will never die!!! 🤘
🤘🤘❤🤘🤘 MISA MISA MISA!!!! 🤘🤘 Love Band Maid!!!! These ladies are so talented and have so much fun together on stage it just makes total happiness!!!! 🤗❤✌
I think you make a good point about rock bringing all nationalities together. And I also believe that Japan is where a lot of new rock is coming from. It's so good to hear good rock coming from so far away. Great reaction. Thanks!
Good Reaction, everyone who does a reaction to band Maid breaks out into a smile soon after the song starts, I’m going to see them live in Seattle. They are all extremely talented. Oh! and you have such a cool voice when you sing…
Great reaction and this is one of their "heavier" songs but more of a full on hard rock song with echos to the pass. This is the first Band-Maid song I heard about 3 years ago and instantly fell in love with this band. If you don't already have you tickets for one of their shows this coming Oct. I believe there are still tickets available for the show in New Jersey (4000 capacity, it will be their biggest show to date).
This was my first Band maid song three years ago as well. They reignited my love for REAL music which is pretty much non-existent these days. I started playing drums again because Akane is my drum goddess and I have a ticket for the Phoenix show. 20 minutes from my house!!!!!!!
Thanks for the reaction. Dice is a little heavier, but surely not as far as they can go. If you really want to see their heavy side, you should watch the songs "The non-fiction days" (with one of their heaviest and longest guitar solos), "Warning!"', "Rinne" or the must see "Onset". Please have your "Enjoy time" 🙂
Not sure why you thought it was creepy. As always with Band-Maid, the tying, the blindfold and, most importantly, the casting off of the restraints and blindfold are just metaphors for growing up, finding one's own way, moving from dark to light and having the courage to move forward and other metaphysical stuff too probably. You have to take chances in Life or stagnate and sometimes it's hard but, as Miku has written here in this song "One moment of pain, ten moments of delight."
"band maid makes me happy" says all of us. I think it's the frequency they play their music at. "Yolo" and "Flying High". Also, Saiki is an instrument.
I still say this song from this album was BAND MAIDS pinnacle of song writing. I wish I had their current cd but amazon wants like 60 bucks for it. I'll get it at their concert when I see them in Boston.
I'm Maidiac! But, I have a favor to ask Anastasia, who I love so much this time. Please react to "Looking up to you" of "Li-sa-X Band". "Li-sa-X" is still a 17 year-old Japanese high school student, but has been famous as a genius guitarist since she was a child. When she was eight, Mr. Big's Paul Gilbert, who saw it, offered her guidance and she became his disciple. So she multiplied his first band "Racer X" by her name and named it "Li-sa-X". She also co-starred with Megadeth's Kiko Loureiro in 2018. Then In 2020, she formed a “Li-sa-X Band” with Nemophila guitarist "Hazuki" and the vocalist "Rina". You are a singer and love guitar solos, so you will love it.
Dice is still my first love. A perfect blend of heavy pop-punk. You can depend on them always having various sounds. Not many of their songs sound alike. If you want to try some of their ballad type songs, I suggest Daydreaming or Endless Story. For their hard and fast: Black Hole and No God. For classic rock: Manners and Dragon Cries.
Fairly new to your channel. Loving the reactions thus far. Would like to recommend Liliac if you haven't already heard them. Family band started as children. They cover a lot of rock such as Merallica, Dio, and Iron Maiden as well as this one ruclips.net/video/UXaoEEJd3vU/видео.html
Anastasia, I'm in the same boat as you. Everything I see about Band Maid makes me happy. I suggest that you really change up in reacting to Band Maid by reviewing "Sayonakidori", the live acoustic video from their livestream concert in December. Sayonakidori means nightingale in Japanese and Miku, who is lead guitarist and vocalist on the video, proves that she is one. It is an absolutely beautiful song. It will make you happy!
if you want a heavier band maid try rinne or interesting mv locations Daydreaming (ruins) REAL EXISTENCE (temple location however the girls played their instruments with dampeners and removed their shoes when playing inside)
Поздрав Анастасиа! DICE is one of the rare songs that I prefer in MV than in the live version. The tone and sound of the guitars in this song is what I love most about Rock music and this band. We all know that your wish is to go to Japan and form a band with Japanese musicians. I want to show you the example of a Japanese band that has a classically trained singer, what it would look like. The band is called LIV MOON and is led by singer Akane Okamoto-Kaminski (artistic name Akane Liv) who is Swedish, of Japanese origin. The band was very active in the period 2009-2016. It consists of top Japanese musicians and one of them is personally the Japanese guitar god Takayoshi Ohmura (also a member of the KAMI band). This band is easiest to describe as a Japanese Nightwish from the Tarja era. It’s just weird that not even many Nightwish fans know about this band. I recommend the song THE LAST SAVIOR ruclips.net/video/Fxwy8aw8CPI/видео.html Све најбоље из СРБИЈЕ и сретан предстојећи, "НАШ" УСКРС". 🇷🇸 ❤ 🇷🇺
I believe that this is the first song that they wrote themselves and was on their third album as their label didn't want them to do their own music. This song alone shows a great feel for Kanami's musical composition skills and Miku's knack with lyrics. And I also like that they use some English in every song and Miku said it herself in an interview that she intended to use some English liberally. You really have to listen to catch it and it's gotten better and better as time goes by. Miku knew she had to reach out to an international audience and that was a great way to do it. Underneath that goofy pigeon there is intense, calculating hawk.
My first Band-Maid song 18 months ago and never looked back. No other band competes for my listening time by a loooong shot. For a bit "harder" try the MV Rinne. Or for a special dichotomy check out the 2fer Manners/Black Hole and get a groovy bluesy rocker and then an intense turbo charged controlled chaos blast to your noggin. Cool stuff from the most Awesome band on the planet, BAND-MAID. Peace.
0:44 There's a BAND-MAID video where they are pillow fighting in school, or something? I'm going to need a link to this video. Immediately. For science. 😁
I think you might talking about when they were in a band camp (retreated to somewhere for concentrated writing/practice) where Miku tried to wake up MISA. ruclips.net/video/eNl9LsIquAI/видео.html
@@glenkelley6799 Oh, maybe that's what Anastasia was thinking of when she was talking about BAND-MAID music videos and pillow fighting. Maybe she conflated that Instagram live vid with the 'Afterlife' mv, or something. There is sort of a pillow fight in that one. More of a pillow murder, really. Dang, I was hoping there was some video out there I hadn't seen yet.
Here's my take on DICE's lyrics: I know the "dice" have already been thrown (as in her lyrics), but I choose to look at it as stop being indecisive, sitting in a dark room playing with dolls (TV, toys, games, etc.). "Seize the moment", roll the dice, open your eyes, and walk into the light! Miku's lyrics, especially after translation, can be a bit cryptic - open for interpretation, as are all poems and lyrics. But their music is always right on point which melds the two into wonderful songs of possibilities! Thx, Anastasia!
@@GaryHolloway-810 Don't think of it as stealing. Think of it as... sharing. BTW - would you mind sharing fifty bucks until next Tuesday? I ran out of brew, man. 🥴
Heavier song for you from Band-Maid would be "The Dragon Cries", excellent song, but on the darker side. The video theme was a girl living in the dark, only knowing what she feels with the safety of the doll. Then some lite starts to show through and she embraces the reality of life, my take anyway!
Aaah, DICE, the song that made me instant fan. Best way to get introduced. And still my favorite.

Anastasia you are kind of like Band Maid you never disappoint great reaction.
One of my absolute favourite songs by Band-Maid! Love the bass, the heavy riff and of course the absolute insanity Akane is unleashing on the drums!
A great badass rock song. I defy any human hearing this to sit still. Kanami is a compositional genius and these are five incredibly talented women.
When Band-Maid roles the dice - they always come up aces.
I think they make everybody happy because they look like they're having so much fun! They're a joy to see!
Band-Maid is my new Love since I discovered them in 2014, I love all of their Songs, but to see them live is even better, they got so much energy.
Band-Maid, joy in the form of awesome rock music.
I need a dose of BAND-MAID a day or I get cranky.... just saying
