All BAND-MAID is good. Most BAND-MAID is great.

You can pick any song by Band-Maid and it would be a winner ! I saw them Monday Night in Charlotte and it was a blast =) Y'all should check out the "Blooming" MV or "Real Existence" Official Live ! Thanks for supporting The Maids ✌🤘

Welcome aboard, Ricky & Wanda. You are embarking on (along with many others - over 174 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 (125 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 - 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 like Sense, Glory and Unleash (from their own Anime MV (series?)): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bbJykqiBuJqceHk.html) And many songs are represented with 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 D²” 30+ Photo Collage videos at www.youtube.com/@PinD2/videos 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 Wave Potter on their 2022 US tour concert in Chicago: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iJ9ylqmov-CXk5c.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 an awesome, little known "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009 Band-Maid Members: Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 29 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, 31 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, 31 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, 32 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, 30 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 2022 US tour just wrapped up and was a fantastic success.

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!

I was very fortunate to hear them perform this song in Charlotte a few nights ago and for everyone out there... NEVER miss a opportunity to see them LIVE.....

I have said this the first time I have heard this song maybe 4 years ago. Give or take a little bit of course. Simply put, it is a masterpiece. Take care and be well always.

Thanks Wanda and Ricky! Such a pretty song!

I saw Band-Maid in Nashville last Sunday and yes they played this song.

I love Bandmaid and I love the Steelers. First time I saw the Steelers was in 1972. First play I saw was Franco running up the middle in his rookie season. That was it for me. I've been a Steeler fan ever since. I recommend Freedom - live version and From Now On - an instrumental MV

If there is such a thing as "love at first sound", I am a victim of it when it comes to this song. And no matter how many times I've heard it since, that feeling hasn't lost any of its intensity. ❤‍🔥 Greetings from Germany, and thanks for this video with my undisputed #1 of these amazing ladies. :) _____________________ 「 _Look inside the mirror of you. Can you say now is the best of who you are?_ 」- from *Nemophila* - 'RISE' 🎶💮

You two are very nice. We got some good reaction. thank you. With love from Japan.

If you haven't yet, of course by them. Alone, Before Yesterday, Bubble, Endless Story, Smile and About Us. Also check out a double shot acoustic version of Puzzle/Anemone. And their little side project that they haven't done in a while. Where they call themselves, Band Maiko. Where they darn traditional Japanese kimonos. Adding some traditional sounding Japanese instruments. To the song Secret of My Lips. Renaming it, Secret Maiko Lips. Take care stay safe and be well !

Band Maid is the best... you should check the Live versions ... they really shine in the live environment.. in fact they are better live than in the studio and thats saying something ... Ive seen them twice on the current tour and am trying to figure out how to catch them when they come back in August ...

悲しい歌ですが、演奏は煌びやかな輝きがあります。 まるで相反するようにです。 そして、力強さもあります。 聴いて頂いて　ありがとうございます。 良い日になりますように❤

Well i live in England but you can be my honorary grandparents if you want. One caveat, you must be willing to listen to BAND-MAID every day & stand at the front at concerts. Anyway what are we having for Sunday dinner this week?😋

More Band Maid, allways!! I suggest "Mirage" acoustic, it's a totally different side of them that will blow you away. 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂🕊

Nice reaction. I think you will like Band-Maid's Acoustic Live video of Catharsis. It will give you a whole new perspective of this awesome band.

This whole song was the lead guitar's solo really. That (to me) was what made this whole song amazingly well-composed.

Beautiful reaction! Band made has so many great ones, especially their lives performances. Have you done Freedom

Saiki's voice is only matched in this song by Kanami's exquisite solo.

A pianist’s right hand/fingers and her lefts corresponds to the premier guitar part, i.e. Mincho’s and the secondary, i.e. Kobato’s. It’s not a simple and conventional lead-/rhythm-guitar configuration. But, that’s what Mincho has, I think, in her mind and intension, when she writes and arranges her songs.

Thank you for your reaction. In return I suggest Blooming, official mv, have fun! :)

Not a metal band just the best rock band.

If you haven't yet, check out the Japanese metal band Nemophilia. Start with their covers first. They do great jobs with. Bon Jovi's Bad Name, Detroit Rock City by Kiss ( though I was never a Kiss fan ). They do a great job with the song. Even throwing on the makeup for this in studio performance. Journeys Separate Ways, and a cover of a Japanese song. Which I never heard before but I think they're you an amazing job of it. The song is called One Night Carnival. My one two punch when it comes to rock/Hard Rock/metal out of Japan. Band Maid for me is number one. Nemophilia is my number two. Thanks again.

Band-Maid best hard rock band

Love Band Maid to. Just saw them in Atlanta . You should give Father John Misty a try.

You have done one rock song and one power ballad, so why not try an instrumental next? I suggest "From Now One". By then, you are probably a fan and should try a true ballad, "About Us" live. It's a song about the band and their fans and the sorrow of not being able to meet during covid. It was recorded at an online concert. Make sure to turn on the captions.
