"From Now On" is Kanami's tour de force but Akane matches her every step of the way :)
😄👍🍻🍻
Or it's her masterpiece for those that are not as sophisticated as some others. 🔥🤣
@rogerchance9074 Lol. But i thought the song they were doing about beer was called "Where Did The Day Go"?😏
@@jkkansasband7056 Haha. Jk, Kanami calls ghosts "Eidolons" so i had to sound posh.😁
@@GaryHolloway-810 Yes, a rose by any name....................... 🌹🌹🌹🎸
Kanami🥰took the vocals in her own hands in this one.
I'd like to take Kanami in my hands From Now On.🤭
@@GaryHolloway-810Gary behave yourself,lol
@@michaelthain4488 I was behaving myse....oh hang on you're right, sorry sir.😔
@@GaryHolloway-810 I think we all feel ❣for Kanami
@@GaryHolloway-810 Gary, Gary, Gary. Remember there is a line somewhere.😉
I didn't realize you guys hadn't done this song yet. I didn't do all 1.1 million... but I replayed this a bunch! Mincho is phenomenal playing this live! "Without Holding Back" is another Band-Maid instrumental you'd probably like. Thanks for the reaction!
Yeah, I thought they did this already. Seems I was wrong ;p. And for instrumentals: the often overlooked "Don't be long" is absolutely amazing, too ( /watch?v=XDZYylY1IHE&list=OLAK5uy_ldUJuPN6r_cw7kR3t0G1rNaSIr_1r7Yfo&index=2 ).
I found out about Band-Maid early in 2022 and was puzzled why I hadn't heard anything about them before. It wasn't long until I heard them do "Onset" live and that's when I realized that I was witnessing genius. This was an instrumental on the same level as RUSH performing "YYZ" and I didn't think they could top it. Then they released the "From Now On" MV and proved me wrong. Band-Maid continues to delight their fans release after release and Okyu-ji after Okyu-ji by somehow managing to be incrementally better *every time.* The Maid work hard on their "Stretch Goals."
I saw them perform twice last May and I can confirm that their live perfomances Do Not Disappoint. Live onstage, they are unbelievably good. "From Now On" is currently a fixture during their live shows and they nail it every time.
The more you learn about Band-Maid, the more you respect what they're doing and how they got where they are. They worked hard to get where they are, their early days weren't smooth sailing, and they almost didn't survive the process. Today they compose all their own music and produce almost entirely on their own: they have complete creative control, even down to album art and merchandising. The ladies of Band-Maid run a tight business and you could do worse than to use Band-Maid as a templatre for a business model.
BTW: Band-Maid creates their backing tracks entirely on their own. So when you hear voilins, piano, bass pedals, distorted voices, synths, and electronic drums, it's all their own work. Misa and Kanami are excellent pianists and often compose on piano and both do MIDI programing. Akane programs their click tracks.
Yeah! 🤘🏽 This song deserves the Offset Era analysis.
Chris had the stank face going the whole time! Sam was just mesmerized. Trust me that the more you hear this, the bigger the goosebumps will get.
Next instrumental? 🙄 Maybe the one I’ve been whining about for MONTHS from you guys. “Onset” by the Maids. Official live video. Thanks in advance from a random recliner in South Florida.
P.S. The background synths and stuff is likely Kanami’s bonus contribution. She’s also a skilled pianist
As Mike said, Kanami is also a skilled pianist, and she has taught herself to program the other instruments for the backing track. And also as Mike says, What about ONSET? It is one of the first instrumentals that Band-Maid did. It is also the song that cemented my fanship of Band-Maid for LIFE.
Achi is also a dab hand at the other instruments and stuff. Remember she was a classical musician first too.
MISA started with electric bass and front of house sound (PA)she later focused on bass. If you focus on bass in one of the best music academies in the world and then continue with such a solid band of perfectionist grafters, it's a good set of ingredients for greatness.
Also notable that there is at least one shot of the band with their engineer on stage and he has his arm around MISA.
@@stevekane4922 True! I had overlooked A-chan. She’s the moonlighting DJ who controls the triggers and click
It really is worth getting the Unseen World Score Book with the Instrumental only CD that comes with it. It's not that we don't love Saiki's fantastic vocals, but without them the CD sounds like a different album, with the melody line carried by the band. I regularly play it right through- It's just fantastic.
This CD is the next step in evolution! ☺
It's crazy that most of their songs work just as well as instrumentals.
Thanks for finally getting to this one. Yes guys, it takes all members to execute but without Kanami you no longer have BAND-MAID as we know it. It's that simple. And she's too humble to take credit. A most unselfish musician for sure compared with all the egos that are out there. Peace. 12.3
So true !!---for all her justified fame, Kanami STILL tends to not get the exposure she so deserves !
She is so-- so-- so good that ironically she tends to be overlooked sometimes !-----it seems like a weird contradiction:-----Kanami is always so exceptionally brilliant that it is expected !---actually expected !!!.
@@wave8359 Perfectly said. It's only seems like a contradiction because I believe that's how she wants it. She wears herself ragged trying to improve and refine and progress and enhance all her skills for not only herself but for us too. I marvel at the fact that she hasn't produced a song that I don't like (of course the rest of the band has something to do with that also). Waiting with such anticipation for the next album it's like I'm back in the 70's again (yes I expect it to be an 11 out of 10). The whole band is a certified miracle!
In the Band Camp video; one of them is goofing off on social media, one of them is "cooking", two of them are in bed... but when you go down the stairs, guess who's still working?
@@TherealSeriousMoonlight That's classic Kanami constantly creating chords for our consumption.🎸
This video gave me a new rule to live by. "If Mincho drops low, it's time to go." Cause she drops into that power stance and destroys. So good.
Many of us recently saw Band-Maid play “From Now On” live. OMNG! Kanami riffed her ass off. And the DB’s matched the BPM’s! So FROM NOW ON, Band-Maid will grow in popularity even faster as their awesome, sold out 2023 BAND-MAID 10TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR wraps up in Japan. Their recent Japan tour just concluded with 17 concerts, AND they’re writing and recording for their new album. Their 10th Anniversary Tour concludes at Japan’s 17,000 seat Yokohama Arena on Nov. 26, 2023!
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! Thx, Chris & Sam!
We've got to give Misa her time, the mistress of thunder always puts a big smile on my face. Her dark bass tone is (in my opinion) distinctive, and you can always hear her weaving her magic ❤🤘
This is a epic instrumental song where Kanami is the vocals with her guitar! "Without Holding Back", "Onset", "Hand Wash", "Dawn Winery Theme" and "Don't Be Long" are all excellent instrumental songs from Band-Maid! There are instrumental versions of songs that have vocals but my favorite is "Giovanni"! It's a great song with vocals, but in an instrumental format it takes on another life! Fun fact, "Play" was originally intended as a instrumental song, but Saiki loved it and wanted to be a part, so she asked Miku to add lyrics and turned it into the masterpiece that we have now! Enjoy!
Now you guys should check out the other Band-Maid instrumentals like "ONSET" Live and "Without Holding Back" MV ! Both these songs are just as good =) Thanks
This song is awesome. First time hearing it. I'm slowly getting into more of Band-Maid.
I visualize Band-Maid playing this song in Tokyo Dome 5 years from now with a real classic orchestra behind them like Metallica and other big names have done.
IIRC, "Play" started off as an instrumental, but Saiki was so in love with it that she insisted that they add lyrics.
Essas garotas são fantásticas!
Band-maid has like 4 or 5 true instrumentals. They use them in conjunction with Miku led songs and MC breaks to give Saiki's voice a rest during live shows.
They have been opening their concerts with this one lately. I saw them in August at the House of Blues and this one ruptured many eardrums!
They play this song live and match the MV exactly. When BM plays live they are meticulous that songs stay true to previous recordings. The Maidiacs prefer it and BM delivers every show.
Almost. Kanami doesn't do the sustained high note bend Live. The note right before the chorus. She subs a 3 or 4 note run instead. At least not in all the Lives I've seen. 🎸
one of my favorites by them, glad you guys got to hear it :) Would love to see you guys react to "I'll", my favorite from their Unleash album
One word to describe this song and the epic video. EPIC!!!!! Band Maid is the best live band I have ever seen, but this official music video show-cased the individual members talent and skills. The camera work was excellent and the sound mix was outstanding. I LOVE BAND MAID and also consider myself a Maidiac forever.
Easily one of the best instrumental tracks I've ever heard. Heavy yet warm and uplifting throughout.
I said it in one of your other videos.... since your band name is Offset Era, it only makes sense for you to react to "Onset (Live)". It's another instrumental and is available on their official RUclips channel.
I don't care what anyone else says, Kanami Tono is the Rock Mozart of the 21st Century. She is otherworldly in her complex and beautiful compositions. There is literally no one else like her. I mean, Machiya from Wagakki Band is an amazing composer and arranger and has very few peers, but Kanami is..................like an alien from another world. Her guitar work is stellar and it rubs off on Misa, and especially her prize student Miku, who has become an excellent rhythm guitarist under Kanami's tutelage. She lends such a crucial bridging effect to the power trio of Kanami, Misa and Akane. I hate reusing superlatives, but with Band Maid you have no choice at all. There have to be some new ones made up for them. When I first saw them last October 28th and heard Domination up close and personal, I was stunned. So much so that I went out and hit up a scalper for tickets for the show on the 30th in New Jersey. I don't think that there are too many bands that work at their craft that hard AND engage with their fans the way they do. It's a true love affair between Band Maid and the fans. But the best for me is Kanami's temperament, so quiet and unassuming and shy..........until she gets on the stage. Can't wait to see them again. I hope annual US tours become a habit with them. Okay, I'll shut up now.
Hard rock Mozart I'd say. Everyone has their opinions but I would have to say Stu MacKenzie is today's rock Mozart.
Guys… the lyrics are there! You didn’t hear Kanami singing through her guitar? 🙂
5:14 all throwing guitars 🎸 coming from the pause 🔥🔥🔥🔥🎸
Want another instrumental? I think I've seen a few suggest it the past...saying Offset should review "On Set", official live from the BM channel. "Without Holding Back" is another awesome instrumental. Not on their official page but you can find it posted in YT. "Don't be Long" a bit harder to find the original MV on YT, but "Band Maid - Don’t Be Long (Instrumental) Gramercy Theatre NYC" is a good one to watch if you can't find the original.
"Play", which you haven't done yet, originally started off as an instrumental. But it is said Saiki said it was so fun, she had Miku add lyrics to it.
A great duel reaction, would be "Secret My Lips". Follow it up with the a cover band, who is equally good as Band-Maid themselves. Band-Maiko, with their version called "Secret Maiko Lips". Funny how these two bands are never in the same room at the same time....🤔
Instrumentals are used to give Saiki a break in their full shows. An instrumental along with a Miku lead song, often followed by a MC session.
WORLD DOMINATION!!! PO!!! 🕊 🤘😆🤘
The Maids always leave us wanting more…🤷🏻♂️. This is a pure instrumental composition; no vocals. Yes, there is a piano and strings behind. Kanami plays the piano. She programs the strings. My understanding is that Saiki asked Kanami to write an instrumental they could open their show with and they opened Lalapalooza with this song.
Good luck with Offset Era and your own music. Take care and rock on 🤘🏼🔥🎸🥁🎼😎
Basically every song is instrumental quality, its just they add Saiki and Miku's vocal instruments as well 😊
Shes so amazing vocalist vocks really great band and song. parfect scampering!!⚡☝🏻🤘🏼👍💖✨🌟
I’ve seen Band-Maid play this live twice! Yes, I’m flexing, sorry. 😐
My my what flexibility you have, John. Totally justified btw :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 There are others that make me look like a scrawny weakling in the number of Band-Maid shows seen. Peter Lim can flex on steroids! 💪
@@johnmatthew102 Haha. I bet the Hobbit isn't tho. You know the Hobbit, the guy who always shouts "KA-NA-MIIII" with an annoying, booming voice.😒
This was an absolute masterpiece live and so glad I got to witness it (and get it on video). And Misa, Misa, Misa owns my ❤.
Well, next instrumental would be *"Onset"* of course!
Then *"Without Holding Back,"* and *"Don't Be Long"* and (if you can find them) *"Hard Wash"* and *"Go Nuts!"*
Kanami composes another masterpiece!
Thanks guys, this just one of best of BM
With regards to the length of the song, that's typical Band-Maid.....always leaving you wanting more. It's just another thing they do very well.
This is how Lollapalooza was introduced to Band Maid. Show opener.
Love you guys channel. Onset (live) is another incredible Band-Maid instrumental. 😮
Progressive hard rock band in uniform Maid !!!
Chris & Sam - "Running out of [Band-Maid] songs? Surely you jest! With about 130 songs, over 50 YT official MV's, and probably more YT fancam vids than any other group I can think off, you've got plenty to go!! As I always say: The “Superfecta” of Hard Rock and Metal: Band-Maid / The Warning, and Jinjer / Lovebites -- all pushing their core genres into the next realm! 🤘 🤘 🤘🤘 btw - I won't call you surely again. 🤘🤣
😁
They led off some festivals, including Lollapalooza, with this track. It is the opening track for the Unleash EP.
Other B-M instrumentals:
Onset (Official Live) ruclips.net/video/mVrN-j_Uc0U/видео.html
Don't Be Long (Official audio track) ruclips.net/video/XDZYylY1IHE/видео.html
Without Holding Back (no official release) There is a white room MV on YT, but it is from a bonus DVD not and official release.
Great Reaction as always! Always enjoy watching. Just going to toss out "SECRET MAIKO LIPS" since I don't think you've reacted to the alternate universe Band Maid. Definitely worth seeing.
Kanami in 110% Mincho mode 🙂
I love Misa when she is not smiling
Yes, all of Band-Maids instrumentals are something special in their own way. This one is my absolute favorite.
But we can't talk about instrumentals without talking about ASTERISM. I searched for it and saw you reacted just ONCE to them 5 months ago and not even to an original song by them. That's outrageous! 😉
Please try "Dawn", "Church" or "Gunfire". Thanks!
You have to check out Dawn Winery by Band Maid.
Check out Asterism for some great instrumentals. One of my favorites is the song Yunagi. Thanks!
U will definitely like Without holding back instrumental . It’s even better.
And that’s how it’s done folks
A masterpiece... The Masterpiece!
Thank you for checking this out. All of their songs are great, but it is in the instrumentals that you really see how brilliant they are as pure musicians.
Great reaction guys. The maids have a lot of great instrumental tracks out there. Some that were written as instrumentals and some where they removed the vocals like "Giovanni" that you already reacted to. This one was written as an instrumental.
Try listening to Giovanni instrumental. If you need a copy, let me know.
"Onset" from Band-Maid is a great one. Other bands for instrumentals, D_Drive "Unkind Rain", Asterism "Church", Unlucky Morpheus covering Dream Theater's "Dance of Eternity". K, didn't leave Japan, but there is a start for a week of instrumentals ....great idea by the way!
Onset live next! Another BA instrumental!
(Hah, I just realized I suggested Onset to Offset!)
Do any of y'all get the Sense like I do, that Band Maid is finally truly breaking out, sorry, breaking new gate?? I see new reactors all the time now on YT, and the already on-board reactors realizing that these ladies are THE band right now, no matter how many other bands they review.
Here's the thing. Band Maid has maid ( pun intended! ) their mark already, anybody who falls into their 10 yr rabbit hole will find an existing catalog of compositions 90% of the bands in the R & R Hall of Fame couldn't come close to , nor play as well live. The only thing they have lacked coming out of a small nation like Japan, is marketing and visibility. The visibility is increasing daily now it seems, yes, we have a ways to go but the momentum is positive.
I would like to be a fly on the wall in the music industry I have to believe the Lolla show will contiunue to influence festival organizers to add BM and get them towards or on the top of the marquee.
Asking a number of reactors this question
If you haven't done "Without Holding Back' yet, you should!
Without Holding Back is my favorite B-M instrumental, but Onset is great too.
"Giovanni" with Saiki and without (White room instrumental), Po! 🦍🍌
Hy guys! You didn't react yet to "Onset" instrumental song.
Have you reacted to "Onset" yet ? It was the first instrumental of Band Maid's that I heard and it's another masterpiece of composition. You have to check it out. You are becoming my go-to reactors. Great Job !!!!!
With your no old video rule this is all you will get. Unfortunately we had this pandemic which stopped live DVD's for a while.
Bands are catching up on 3 years they missed.
You aren't going to get DVD quality concert footage that's new not for a while.
Idk why you came up with that policy but you should really re think it.
All you are going to get is Love Bites and Band Maid because they mass produce more than other bands.
Its more interesting to explore a bands history and the evolution of their sound.
But hey you do you I just think this no old video policy is a tad silly.
Band-Maid cannot be topped in my book. But please check out a very young female punk band, The Linda Lindas.
No vocals on this one it's purely Instrumental. You guys don't have to react to it, but there is an awesome recording by Vladimir Chupin who recorded this during their Boston show "Paradise Rock Club" in the fall 2022 it's just as awesome live. I'd link it, but I've seen these posts auto-deleted when I do.
As always, a great reaction to a great song.
In terms of instrumentals, how about checking out Rie a.k.a. Surzaku's live cover of Jeff Beck's "Blue Wind" with two of Japan's great drummers, Kanade Sato and Senri Kawaguchi? ruclips.net/video/cVfwSRnRtFU/видео.html
Akane has always been agressive just watch the Real Existance mv

I dunno. Is there space for vocals?
I guess you guys aren’t fans.
