Luv this song. "Matchless Gum" from the same concert is a MUST. Just another example of Kanami goin off in her own little world with a crazy solo that doesn't fit but fits perfect. She's a genius.

One of my favorites. Great.

Love this song in all its various versions !! 😏♥️🎙🎸🥁😎🤘

@2:43 It feels like somethings about to happen, but it's just forshadowing @4:29 this is the real deal, and you're ready for it. The drum roll into the solo, and one of Mincho's best, into the last chorus, and Mincho's bonus outro solo that's, like you said, smooth like butter. What a great rock song and what a great performance!

Thx for the reaction. This is one of my personal fav live recordings by the band. Such creative songwriting.

This song has so much character. As the song goes, it really does flow from one thing to another, but each one is more energetic than the last.

Sweet groove. Dig it! Thanks for the vid!!

Back for more. I did enjoy this one. A deep cut that has been off my radar, unfortunately. Back on, thanks to you! Not as “catchy” or straightforward as many of Band Maid’s songs, which is probably why it doesn’t get as much traction outside of hardcore fans. But holy crap. What a creative song! Like you said, the groove is deep in the beginning. I could put that on a loop and jam over it for days. And then there’s Kanami’s four note motif, a little bit R&B, a little bit rock and roll? Then a wild punk rock, Police/Blondie segment…what’s happening? Finishing up with the original chord structure and Kanami delivers in her signature style. A completely different type of solo from what we hear on rock records. If you didn’t know she’s inspired by Larry Carlton and Carlos Santana before, you probably do now. 😊 Thanks for sharing the Maids with everyone today 🤘🏽

Awkward -- a beautiful Band-Maid song somewhere between unexpected and masterful. Thx, Eric!

I love Miku's chord work in this

This is my favourite song by them, it's a thing of beauty.. There is only one song better than "Awkward" in my opinion, and that is the Band-Maiko version "Akasimahen" - it's phenomenal!

Kanami's guitar...❤❤❤

Hidden gem

Minchu is just like super chill until the end , unleash minchu mode

Wow love this one👌 Thanks for sharing🙏👍

I love this live track. It's in my top 5, but never gets played enough. Genius composition by Kamami yet again. Kanami's outro solo just kills me- I've died and gone to heaven.

Simply a master class in songwriting. In 2017 they played it a lot live (when touring JBI), but it would cool if they brought it back once in a while (I mean besides the lucky-ducks in Japan who got it a few times in 2023 :)

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

👍👍BAND-MAID 🔥🔥. 🖖❤

Band-Maiko's cover of this called Akasimahen is a fan favorite! Hope you can check it out one of these days.

Love this song!

This song is really a Kanami showcase! Love it when Mincho comes in! A overall great song!

I love this song.🤘🤘🤘

oh god i love awkward. my trilogy for them is puzzle, moratorium and awkward. the way that after each small part that they do goes into the next verse and it just keeps building

Rare footage, Po! With many Band Maid songs flowing in and out of my top 3, this always remains as #1. I hope they do a refresh and extended acoustic version in March, Po! 🦍🍌

So nice to hear Miku's rhythm guitar ......she has gotten so good even at this point !!!!!!

Hello LIKE77!!! Fantastic videoclip!! Have a nice day!!! Best Regards from Barcelona!!! Jose Movilandia 😎💥👍👍👍

I was never really into the studio version of this, but Saiki sounds like she’s in really great condition for this show.

The lead vocal Saiki Atsumi will be celebrating her 30th on February 8th 😉

MISA said at the time that this was her best bass line composition. Hard to believe this is seven years ago now.

Shinkiba Studio Coast Concert 🤩 Heh, heh heh

Misa playing without a pic because the song needs a soft bass line. That is Band Maid for you. It’s about the music.

Ahhh, and a rare glimpse of MIKA finger picking. I'll have to watch this again to see if MISA used fingers this entire show.....it has been a while since I've watched it. If she did then I wonder when she switched to predominately using a pick.....interesting. Glad you made it back on my algorithm, It's been a while and I like your format.
