I have been a professional musician and vocalist since 1966 and have never heard such professionalism and artistic virtuosity. These girls are currently the best live band in the world. If they don't get into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, there is no justice. They brought popular music back from the dead. The acoustic concert moves me to tears.

This is why I love them so much, no other band can touch my heart like them.

This was the last song of their Christmas Day Special…the night sky is fully visible through the windows…when the ladies started the concert it was the early sunlight of dawn….they spent the whole day playing those 14 songs…this was probably the best acoustic concert that I have ever seen in my 63 years (so far) You are absolutely right AMAZING BAND…the band sold a cd with those 14 songs but it was limited to the band’s fan club members only…I’m still hoping that the band will make this concert available on dvd or Blu-ray…..it will be worth the price to have a copy!! Thanks…Peace and Respect from 🇨🇦

I think songs like this prove Band Maid could take a totally different path than they have taken and they would still be successful.

There are only two bands I have ever heard that I can honestly say I like every song I have ever heard of theirs.. And they are both Japanese.. And these ladies are one of them.. They really should be right up there with the "Greats"? Japan.. Teaching the world how to play rock and metal...

It's not often you get to hear all the Maids doing background harmonies together. It's so ssweeeeet. Again, their acoustic arrangement is superb.

Saiki's right arm is so expressive it should be recognized as a separate band member and get its own paycheck

Page is a brilliant song...... in both forms. In my B-M top 10.

The melodies that come from Kanami's beautiful mind never fail to affect my soul.

BAND-MAID are always a double Page good news story.🙂

When they do a song as good as this, it is nothing short of majestic brilliance. Kanami and Akane on backing vocals. It's always lovely to see someone go through what all us madiacs have been through when we discovered this band. I still remember my day- 20 Dec 2018.

Love, love LOVE this song. This would be so great as the finale to a 3 hour maid show at a 30,000 person arena, with everyone signing along in the ooh, ooh parts. Makes the onion ninjas come every time.

B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l song! Majestic! No wonder Kanami wrote this one to be played at weddings!

If anyone listens to this performance and is not Moved by it you seriously need check your pulse. In all my years of listening to bands and going to concerts i never really felt like a "Fan" of any of them. When it comes to Band-Maid i have no shame in telling anyone who listens that they are the best band on this planet. Po!

Honest I hid all the onions before watching this.

I used to live in the town behind the maids. It's a big city with a port and nearly 3.8 million people live there, so Christmas is very lively. But like everyone watching this, I'm a cloud dweller now. I hope we can meet the maids soon!

😃 Big Smile 😃............❤️🎙🎸🥁😎👌

Dude....big fan of the channel.....when ever I have a shitty day I put on your channel and have a beer with my Band Maid Bro !!!! Had never heard this until today......I just can't comprehend just how good this band is !!!!!! It's so cool to go thru their catalog and find these hidden gems. Thanks again

I always hear a little nod to Nashville from Kanami. On a good day listen to Band Maid, and on a bad day Listen to Band Maid

I love seeing Miku singing backup on "don't forget to love yourself." I won't, little pigeon. 💛🕊️

I can't believe there are so many masterpiece！

I have totally fallen in love with this song !!!!!!!

I'm speechless. I mean, commentless... 🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀

Oh wow! Everyone sang in Page also! I love it! Yup, instead of Domination to end a set, Page would be perfect. Domination can be an encore.

That opens your heart, doesn't it? It obviously did to you. And that's why enjoy your reactions immensely. Only during this Christmas concert I fully realized what an artistic treat Band-Maid really is... 1. An immense discography of great rock songs that come with originality and insane mastery of their specific instruments 2. Having the guts to make an April's fools joke, Band-Maiko, into a complete alter ego of their band, complete with all the intricate things like make-up and composition into the finest details. 3. Giving me the best Christmas of my life with a jazzy concert in which they charmed the hell out of me, and you too, by the looks of it. I've been around, but they top everything I've seen. Hope to see them live soon again. This time I'll bring roses.

BAND-MAID always gives and we are extremely thankful to receive.

Stay Beautiful Maidiacs! Always have your tear towel available. Peace. 2.24

Absolutely Beautiful

Man I love this band so much. Don't know what it is about them but I often get emotional and gosse bumps when I listen to them. That's saying somethig as I am from the North east of Scotland that is tradionally dour and reserved and we don't normally wear our emotions on our sleeve. I love all the memebers but have a particualr soft spot for our kooky, eccentric shredder - Kanami. For their online acoustic on Xmas day they were all brilliant however I often think of it as Saiki's masterclass in singing, she was just brilliant and to me mesmerising. Of course we have to thank that pocket genius Kanami for transposing all the songs into acoustic versions although I suspect there was a lot of input from the other Band-Maid members

All I can say is Amazing. Such a beautiful acoustic version of this song and the original is already beautiful 🤘🏻

Did you notice on the acoustic all five ladies were on vocals!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE LADIES!!!!!💖💞💖💞💖💞 The more I hear Saiki sing the more I fall in love with her vocal styling!!!! She has such a "touch" that she brings to every song 🎵 And that "touch" touches my heart ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘 She has brought feelings of joy and happiness and she has also brought me to tears!!!! You KNOW a vocalist is GR8 when they can evoke the full gamut of emotions in you just with their voice!!!! Saki is my favorite vocalist of all time and For All Time!!!! Great reaction bro!!! Just subscribed

Saiki voice is so nice😀

...stay😀 beautiful...!I'm counting that as learning Japanese from BAND-MAID aye🕊️🇯🇵👍

Yes, PAGE, yes💪💕💕💕

Page is one of my favorites off of the "Conqueror" album. Another great reaction. 🤘😎🤘

The acoustics know the goodness of this song better.

Saiki was locked in this whole set. Always been impressed by her but it's leveled up after this performance. Band Maid man, what can you say but wow.

2×WOW!..

なんと美しい。人類の遺産。

MISA MISA MISA!!!!! can't smile toooo busy crying lol

Mirage next?? 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂

Beautiful 2 GEN. Thank you!

Akane, MISA, and Kanami on harmony vocals...with Miku a brilliant counterpoint to Saiki's power.

Awesome...and puts the worst of the 80s 'soft rock' into context. Now we know...we wuz in the desert, drinkin firkin sand!! Saiki Saiki Saiki!!! ❤🎤 😇

As Kevin has already written, those bastards of onion ninjas always crawl out of their hiding places when this song is playing. And it doesn't even matter which version of it. :) A wonderful end to the Christmas concert, which in my opinion could have go on for hours. I have the video of it, and you can find it out there on the net, but please please please! 🙏🏻 If any of the decision-makers read this, please publish it on an HD medium. It's just so damn good! 🙏🏻 _____________________ 「 _'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!'_ 」 --- from *BAND-MAID* 'Manners' 🕊

I always smile when I listen to Ban-Maid :)

the most i like in your reactions is always give good vibes to the people, always sending positive message. of course is nice to see another BM Fan, but thanks for always try to make us smile and be possitive

Great reaction again!!!!! 🕊🍌🍻☕⚾

MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! on backing vocals she Assassinated that also .

Thanks for that. You might be ready for "About Us."

I know everyone mentions "Daydreaming" but i like "Page" better, sue me. 🤔 Actually please don't sue me, i'm not rich & BAND-MAID take all my money anyway.🤷‍♂️

Mate! Greetings under tons of heat! This particular song, although not that well known, is regularly featured in their live concerts. It sounds and acts as a rousing ballad, very moving at times, a complete kind of symphony or ode to their fans. The kind of song you think you have heard somewhere or somewhen else but in fact have not, typical Band Maid's song that you will have a hard time finding among other bands. in the acoustic version we were finally graced with all of them singing together, a really rare occurrence. I am sure they could have a song played without any instruments with all members harmonizing together, so talented they are. It is one thing to be able to play an instrument but being able to sing along is another thing. Why do I have the impression that their talent is not fully tapped yet. My, who is to complain! LOL Looking forward to your next reactions as well as go through the ones I haven't had the time yet to listen to! Take good care of yourself (ves)! Best regards, Robert-Gilles

If ever I got married, this would be the song I want played for the ending of my wedding.... sigh...

If two years ago (at the spritely age of 61) someone had said that my music world would be upended by 5 petite Japanese musicians known to wear Maids outfits, I would have slipped into a defensive stance cause obviously I was in the presence of a crazy, unpredictable person - Nah, two years later and Band Maid is my delicious addiction and my bucket list has been emptied and refilled with umpteen things - see Band Maid umpteen times before I shuffle off this mortal coil 😄 Try and imagine the time, blood, sweat and no doubt some tears that went into this acoustic event from concept to delivery - what a fcken band, flaming sambuca's for everyone, Viva the Maids peace and love Po 👍🎼🥁🎤🎸🍻

I knew LCS was the first one from the 3rd chord. and my whole body was covered in goosebumps. And I've said many many many times that MISA and Akane can also sing, but many people didn't believe me. Have you done Brand New Road? or Be OK? yet It's their older catalog and not written by them, however they DID have a say in how they were put together.

Great reaction! Fantastic song 😃

Thank you for a nice reaction. Thank you for the nice goose bumps‼️

Choose very wisely the best versions. 👌

You know, when I heard the studio version, I was disappointed. I DID NOT LIKE IT, at all, despite a few listens . But this live electric version , Saiki in particular, takes on the atmosphere and produces a spine tingling live vocal., Sometimes I wonder why Band Maid even records albums as the live take is all they need,. But I guess they craft it in the studio and present to the fans on CD, so they know to expect (they think) ...... and then blow the audience's mind and the studio version away. The mark of a truly GREAT, GREAT band !

It looked like the acoustic sets took a lot of time for the arrangements.

someone forgot to tell akane it was a slow song. lol

Not for a reaction but just for yourself you should checkout the videos labeled Medley on that same channel as the "home video version."

Just rewatched this... Does MISA play harmonics in bass in this song?

I know I'll cop some shit here but Miku is not my favourite vocalist HOWEVER, you would be hard pressed to find a better backing vocalist on this planet. (Although Kanami is near perfect in the Puzzle and Anemone acoustic live). Saiki, in my opinion, is perfect and Miku just enhances her voice for the better.
