Saiki gave a small talk before playing ‘About Us’ - “We were supposed to meet you today. For the first time in a year, we thought we could meet you all, those of you who could come to see us, but we can’t meet you in the end. I’m sorry. Even though it’s not my fault. We have been having days of turmoil for about a year. In the beginning, we were very surprised because we hadn’t experienced it before, and we had no experience of not being able to meet others in person. We were sad, but we found we shouldn’t be sad in this situation. When I saw you masters and princesses on social media, you were more depressed than us, and we thought that’s terrible. We Band-Maid have been thinking about how to cheer up all of you in the last year. We truly wanted to meet you at Nippon Budokan, but it’s impossible because of COVID, so let’s wait for the day when we can meet. And in the last year, during the COVID pandemic, we have become more eager to cheer you up, and we Band-Maid realized again it’s important to give our songs to you. That’s why we wrote this song for Budokan. We made the album also in the pandemic, so it might have a little similar feel, but this song is planned for Nippon Budokan, and we really want to give it to you masters and princesses now. Budokan is not our goal but just a stepping stone. We will perform at bigger venues, and we promise we will bring you there and give you even better songs, so let’s keep it up a little more. This is our present for you masters and princesses. Please listen to it.”gave a small speechtalk before playing ‘About Us’ - “We were supposed to meet you today.

Band-Maid are exceptional performers. This song shows how much they love their fans. This love song is what we all need right now. I understand they are planning to start touring this summer.

I just bought tickets to a show.....8 months from now, I can't wait !!❤🎙🎸🥁😎👌

There are not many bands that can boast such versatility and wisdom when it comes to composing music in all styles of rock music.

The Best way to start my day. Absolutely beautiful and perfect song! No more words. Good react again man. See you in the next! 🤟🏻🦊🇯🇵🔥🔥🔥

MISA is ALL OVER this song. God I love them.

These ladies are all about giving.....

Can a band give its fans a more beautiful present? ... Well, at least I can't think of anything better. 🙏🏻🕊️ ----------- 「 Our rock never dies ever. Forever! 」 --- from BAND-MAID 'Manners' 🕊️

This song is just beautiful. Thank you for the reaction. 🔥🖤

There are people who are suffering now. I want this song to arrive. You're not alone.

I am too old to start sniffing every time I hear this. For goodness sake it is just a song. They are simply the best band around right now.

MISA MISA MISA!

"About Us", in the vein of other great mid-tempo Band-Maid songs like Daydreaming, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, Wonderland, Awkward, Start Over, Mirage, At the Drop of a Hat and Smile, is an amazing song and personal message to their fans - a direction I'm glad to see them add to their journey toward world domination. And we get to hear MISA play the vibe she so enjoys. Their new, beautiful DVD/BD/CD box set (with 100 page picture book) of this incredible concert is unbelievable! Thanks Jim, for bringing "About Us" to your viewers!

Thanks Jim!

Bandmaid is special. One in a lifetime band for me.

The lyrics make me cry every time.

Can’t wait to see them in October.

Misa misa misa !

Kanami is a genius!

I think this song speaks for all of us. I wish Saiki would stop making me cry but apart from that it's a fantastic song.

Uncle C coming through clutch! ;-)

"At the drop of a hat" from Conqueror. Catch up, I've been listening to them since 2015...

Nice reaction bro!

I wanna know who keeps cutting onions when I listen to this song

I don't remember where I red this? But I think it's Saiki-san who wrote this song? Please correct me if I am wrong,

Try this for guitar skills and a great song as well . Lisa X Band . @

translation of Saiki’s heartfelt monologue / speech before this song was performed Saiki: We were supposed to meet you today. For the first time in a year, we thought we could meet you all, those of you who could come to see us, but we can’t meet you in the end. I’m sorry. Even though it’s not my fault. We have been having days of turmoil for about a year.

We were sad, but we found we shouldn’t be sad in this situation. When I saw you masters and princesses on social media, you were more depressed than us, and we thought that’s terrible. We Band-Maid have been thinking about how to cheer up all of you in the last one year. We truly wanted to meet you at Nippon Budokan, but it’s impossible because of COVID, so let’s wait for the day when we can meet. And in the last one year… or in the COVID pandemic, we have become more eager to cheer you up, and we Band-Maid realized again it’s important to give our songs to you. That’s why we wrote this song for Budokan. We made the album also in the pandemic, so it might have a little similar feel, but this song is planned for Nippon Budokan, and we really want to give it to you masters and princesses now. Budokan is not our goal but just a stepping stone. We will perform at bigger venues, and we promise we will bring you there and give you even better songs, so let’s keep it up a little more. This is our present for you masters and princesses. Please listen to it.

🐦 On Feb. 14th, 2020 concert *BAND-MAID* announced that they were going to play at *Budokan* on Feb 11th, 2021 playing at *Budokan* is like reaching the top of Mt. Everest but due to Covid the concert was canceled. In the live streaming concert *Saiki* address the fans and said how much *BAND-MAID* missed performing live to their *Masters and Princesses* and was followed up with this song that *BAND-MAID* has maid for their fans. 🐦 *BAND-MAID* posted their US tour of October 2022 🥲 _(I got my tickets)_

This song is a gift to the people of Ukraine.

Saiki gave a heartfelt speech before the start of "About Us". It's a pity it wasn't included for this release :)

A song composed from sadness, that became a masterpiece. There is nothing more to be said. "Flowers will bloom" is the theme from the 2011 Tsunami.

MISA turning the bass guitar into a lead instrument! This is worthy of Jaco Pastorius.

Some day, the girls will realize their dream of playing Budokan...and Tokyo Dome...and the world.
