Wow! That was CRAZY AWESOME! Thanks for introducing me to this band.

Every time I hear this song it makes me realize just how good of a writer Kanami is !!!!!! This song is absolutely PERFECT !!!!!

Welcome to Band-Maid! The best hard rock band I have heard in my 58 years on this planet. They don't stick to any one genre and often mix genres in songs. They are extremely diverse and have an extensive back catalogue featuring Punk, Pop-Punk, Hard-Rock, Classic Rock, Metal, Prog, Blues, Jazz, Groove, Rap etc. From face melting 220 bpm punk-prog to ballads, instrumentals to acoustics they do it all. They are also five of the nicest people in music, without a shred of ego. They are funny and fun and world class musicians to boot. They are currently into their 11th year with the original line up. Btw, Miku the rhythm guitarist (red rose) formed the band. She had the idea of Band-Maid after working as a maid in Japanese maid cafe's. The idea is a concept called "The Gap" - that is what you see (cute maids) is NOT what you get (Hard Rock/Punk/Metal). They take the maid café concept literally. They call their concerts "servings" and their fans "Masters and Princesses". Oh, and Miku is an 810 year old small pigeon. Welcome to the pigeon hole Po!

16 seconds in and the smile comes out. That my friend is what BandMaid is all about.

Kanami (lead guitar ) is the best female guitar player in the world and whole band is the best rock band in the world for the last 10 years. Welcome to the BAND MAID world!!!

Band-Maid are very much a live band, please check out any of their live performances. They will NEVER disappoint you!

Band-Maid are serious. Deadly serious

Thanks for the reaction and comments. These ladies are FIRE!!!!! They overflow with positivity, energy, and joy. It's absolutely criminal that they don't have more recognition and a larger following around the world. Every member is incredibly talented. Not one is lacking in any way. No egos or drama amongst them either. They all serve the song to ensure the best possible outcome and experience for their fans. Do check out their official live videos. They are even more impressive. Start with Hate? (official live video). You won't regret it. Cheers!

Band-Maid has so many good songs. And their live versions are always better.

This is one of their softer, more pop songs. Dive in and you'll hear a lot of varieties of hard rock.

They make an appearance in the Netflix movie Kate as themselves playing this song in a club and their song Blooming is also in a car chase scene.

日本から。 Thank you for your reaction to BAND-MAID. They are a great live band, so please try the live version next time.

FYI. You can watch their videos for your reactions and never be disappointed, however you will be personally missing out on so so so so so so many awesome songs that don't have videos on their Channel. Just ask anyone here

Hi Olavity, welcome to the world of Band-Maid ! Glad to have you with us on this journey.

Welcome to the world of BAND-MAID, these Rock Goddesses are the top tier of the top tier, you won't be disappointed 👍🍻

10 years and 120+ songs of pure Greatness 🔥🤘❤️ Magical band 💥

Welcome to *BAND MAID!!* Pick *anything* off of their official KZfaq channel, preferably *LIVE* videos. 🤘😀🤘

Great reaction and new sub based on your reaction and comments. We all love our Band-Maids, they come in and clean out all the old stereotypes about female bands and rock, as new world of rock/metal. This is just the beginning, they have over 120 songs, most are great, some are outstanding and some defy a typical rating of 10. Thank for you review and hope your journey discovering more Band-Maid makes you as happy as us fans.

Hi Beautiful,really glad you got to this band,they are excellant.Jimmy Page saw them once and requested to go backstage to meet the drummer,and tell her how impressed he was with her playing.Some others are Thrill,the first video they ever made,Dice is a rocker,Onset is an instumental jam,and Domination is power packed and electric.Also want to mention all the recent vids,Joan Jett,Charlie Daniels and The Animals have been stellar .Thanks Again

You should check out their first music video Band-Maid Thrill Awesome song

They also did a cameo on a Netflix movie Kate to.

This song was played twice in their Yokohama show last November. Saiki played it solo with a piano and the group played a great rendition as they walked around the area. Band-Maid is definitely one of the best bands out today.

Welcome, Olavity. You are embarking on (along with many others - nearly 200 million YT views plus over 40 million reactor plays!) an awesome, progressive, hard-rock journey with 5 incredible women. Here's my intro blurb for those who may be new to Band-Maid: BAND-MAID’s songs and sound beat with the heart and soul of all rockers. But you’ll also hear heavy influences of Prog, Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Jazz, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Joy of Playing, Consistency (130+ songs), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destined for mega-stardom. Each member's personalities are super interesting and their musicianship among the best. Their writing, arrangements and overall sound, especially guitar tones and drums, are kick-ass! Having seen them LIVE, I can honestly say their performance, sound, stage appearance, and band synergy is off-the-rails spectacular! Band-Maid is the only band in decades where I love nearly EVERY song they’ve done. I have over 70 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8qjaspkspOYnIU.html Their songs from albums Unleash, Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Shambles, Warning, No God, Different, Black Hole, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Don’t You Tell Me, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Choose Me, I Can’t Live Without You, and on and on. But don’t miss out on their powerful, beautifully written, mid-tempo songs like Daydreaming, About Us, Memorable, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, At The Drop Of A Hat, Mirage and Smile... or more punky like After Life, Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like Manners and The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or a bit jazzy like Wonderland… or progressive like No God, Giovanni, and Black Hole… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like From Now On, Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts… or their many acoustic versions like Catharsis and Sayonakidori... and last but not least, their Anime hits (AniMaid) like Sense, Glory and Unleash!!!!! (from their own Anime MV (series?)): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bbJykqiBuJqceHk.html) And many songs are represented with over 50 well produced music videos. kzfaq.info Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYU-JI concerts:  ONLINE OKYU-JI (Feb. 11, 2021) “No God” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pKeUitF6t9CrkZ8.html  Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA (February 14, 2020) “Domination” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h8iphKZ705zWiZs.html  ZEPP 2018 “Real Existence” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y9eBoa56sbiZpWQ.html  Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 and other full concerts are on bandmaidprime.tokyo, bili, and official Band-Maid’s DVD/BD/CD.  “P and D⁴” Photo Collage videos at www.youtube.com/@PinDakaPanic810 And some of the better quality fan videos are excellent. Here’s two of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at an intimate venue:  Shot by Pat McKee from their 2023 US tour concert in Detroit: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/es2oiJB-u9DYkWQ.html  See the Maids 2023 Rockville Festival’s short-set perfection performance: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rNCKnrGW1K3RmJc.html If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, CD, DVD/BD & Merch, etc. bandmaid.tokyo Like most Band-Maid songs, I like them from the get-go but really start to appreciate them after more hearings and seeing their LIVE videos. I'll go back and see an older song like YOLO, Order, Shake That, Freezer, Before Yesterday, Real Existence, Non Fiction Days and Alone, etc. and realize there's no band that can consistently construct and play like Band-Maid. For fun, check out:  "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009  Band-Maid MIDI covers: www.youtube.com/@DeanF_MIDI  Reimagined compositions of Band-Maid songs: www.youtube.com/@fxdxmusic Band-Maid Members: Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “StarQueen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 30 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away her sometimes perceived, coldish persona. Saiki’s powerhouse performances, charisma, and voice focus the experience that’s driven her to the top echelon of hard rock frontwomen... or frontmen! Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 32 years old. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR SpokesPigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. Kuruppo! No, no, no… KURUPPO!! Kanami Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 32 years old, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want from Mincho is more! Akane Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, 33 years old, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) while revolutionizing rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumZilla” is the Party! MISA (Me-Sa) "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass, 31 years old. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin literally kills it… every note... uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA! MISA! Maidiacs (Maid-e-acts) - Band-Maid’s crazed yet supportive, knowledgeable and loyal Super Fans. [BAND-MAID NEWS]  BAND-MAID PRIME - Special Video Distribution Website. Along with nearly 50 great play-through’s by each member, concerts and skits, Band-Maid management / label(s) have included the Acoustic Christmas 2021, ZEPP 2018 and Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 concerts! Fans can now see more than 50 great live performances with awesome audio, etc. like Fate, I Can't Live Without You and the great MISA / Kanami exchange in Don't You Tell Me. Those concerts are two of the best produced & performed concerts ever recorded, IMO. bandmaidprime.tokyo  The Maids SOLD OUT 2023 US & Mexico tour wrapped up and was a fantastic success. And so many great live fancams to watch! Their playing and antics were as fresh and fun to experience from first show to last. BRAVO Band-Maid!!!!! In addition, their Japan tour finished up with 13 concerts, AND they’re writing and recording for their new album. Their 10th Anniversary Tour concluded at Japan’s 17,000 seat Yokohama Arena on Nov. 26, 2023 and in Hong Kong Dec. 21! And their latest 10TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR SPIN OFF concert at KT ZEPP YOKOHAMA on February 22, 2024, where they played songs not performed at the 10th anniversary tour final at Yokohama Arena, was SOLD OUT!  📢 JUST ANNOUNCED 📢 -- The Warning, a world-famous band from Mexico, and BAND-MAID will perform a dream two-band show! After meeting on our US tour in 2022, "The Warning" will be making their memorable first visit to Japan with BAND-MAID! Venue: EX THEATER RIPPONGI Date: Jun 12, 2024. -- Incubus and Band-Maid at Tokyo Garden May 1… AND… BAND-MAID will release a new song, "Bestie," co-written with Mike Einziger of INCUBUS, on April 17! -- BAND-MAID HALL TOUR 2024 -- June 28, 2024 (Fri) Nagoya City Public Hall, Aichi, Japan -- July 5, 2024 (Fri) Osaka, Fenice Sakai Main Hall, -- July 14, 2024 (Sun) Kanagawa Kenmin Hall, Kanagawa. 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!

Great choice, great reaction ❤ You might have noticed that at least the three ladies (Kanami, Misa and Akane) are masters at their instruments. Then there is the lead vocalist Saiki who is perfect for the Band Maid sound. And the last one Miku, you might ask?! Well, Miku is Miku 🎤🎸🧙‍♀: Our little pigeon 🕊, pure energy, fantastic backing vocals and harmonies with Saiki, some wonderful lead vocal songs and these days very good on rhythm guitar ... she wasn't able to play the guitar in 2013 when she founded the band. Wait until you watched her very special "Omajinai Time" (🪄 magic spell time) during their concerts (they call them "Okyūji" = Serving). You will get tons of recommendations for your next song and might already have a long list. There is no bad Band Maid song so pick what you like: Special live: Freedom (Live), Play (Live) and of course their latest "Don't you tell me" (Live), just release before "Hate?" Hard rock: Moratorium (Live at Zepp), Rinne (MV), Dice (MV), Shambles (MV) Varied songs: Corallium (Live at Shibuya), Influencer (MV) Very chatchy chorus: Choose me (MV), Alone (MV), Secret my lips (Live) Ballads: Memorable (MV), About Us (MV), Daydreaming (MV) Instrumentals: From now on (MV), Onset (Live) Miku songs: Sayonakidory (also acoustic), Time, Beauty and the Beast (sadly no good video) And finally a very special live performance: Manners/Blackhole (Official Online Live)🍌 This is just a (quite) random selection of songs. And there is also a full acoustic concert from Christmas from 2021... This is a deep "pigeon hole" with lots of fantastic songs. And later you might want to learn more about the band and their members. Ohrenje created some very interesting and professional documentaries about them. You will learn where the maid costumes (their battle armor) come from, how they formed the band, about Mikus "Omajinai time" and why we MAIDIACS talk about a "pigeon hole" and end some sentences with "po", po! Have fun... Po

❤BAND-MAID💙 is so far out in front on my favorite bands list that I can't even remember who #2 is right now.

Band maid is a super live band nice reaction greetings from Germany 🎸🤘👍

I love their punk rock sounding songs of that Band-Maid era. But they are such amazing musicians that this great song doesn't demonstrate fully. Thank you for reacting to one of my all time favorite bands.

They're the real deal- amazing musicians and singer. Helping to keep the torch of Rock lit- you should definitely watch Domination next (live version is actually better than the studio version).

The Official LIVE version is even better! And not only does BAND-MAID have a few Anime Theme Songs, like 'Shambles, which was commissioned as the season two closing theme for the Netflix anime, Kangan Ashura, and 'Glory' for Yu-Gi-Oh VRAINS, but they have an OMV that's in anime format called 'Unleash'.

My request for another BAND-MAID reaction, if you'd like: "HATE? (LIVE)". Harder, louder, than Choose Me, but you'll love it. It's from their November '23 Tenth Anniversary show, in Yokohama. I got to see them do it live, a little earlier, in the USA. They are amazing. If you want more fun from Japan, I dare you to try Hanabie. I suggest trying "Otaku Lovely Densetsu" or "We Love Sweets". Try them blind.

I’ll only say you need to check their live videos! 😊 Oh, and I was the 1000th person to give a thumbs up. That’s never happened to me before! 😊

Welcome to the Maidiacs, Olavity

Another one is overwhelmed by the maid service. I will let the other commentors fill you in on Band-Maid. highly recommend you check out one of their live videos.

Please, check out Lovebites. They are a all-female Japanese power metal band 🤘🏻

Every. Song. Check out every song! 😂 👍

Band-Maid for the win!

Welcome home Princess!

Recommend Hate? a live version from their big Yokohama concert.

You ain't seen nothing yet...BAND MAID #1

*"Different"* is one of their openings. It is _chaotic._ *"Sense"* is another very good song, with a very creative music video too.

Live Maid is the Best Maid... the MV's are good.. Band Maid Live is off the charts.. pull up live versions of Puzzle, No God, Domination, Don't You Tell Me, Hate, or any other live performance... its time to Unleash the Maids....

Welcome to the fandom! Best rock band out now! I suggest these songs: Thrill, Dice, Manners, Bubble, Puzzle (live) & Don't You Tell Me (live)

"Choose Me" is a great place to start... but you have so much more to see / hear! Incredible band in every way... thanks for the reaction and please check out more!

Check out Domination live by Band-Maid

En Junio tocarán en Japón band Maid y The Warning 🇲🇽, amiga y si gustas puedes reaccionar a The Warning es un banda Mexicana con su canción Dull knives, saludos bella

They are even better live

Rock or metal? I’d say hard rock with influences from Metal, J-Pop, grunge, and Santana.

They are great , 21 star century Guns and Roses To see them at their best Che k out live videos Hate is a great new live video they dropped

Best band in Japan. Always listen to them live. Recommend Domination, Daydreaming, Play, Manners with Black Hole, all LIVE. Just to prime you with a taste of what I mean by always listening to them live, here is this song live : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gs9yeaah1r20lH0.html
