Love the reaction! Thank you from California!

Welcome to the Band-Maid family!

Akane Hirose - Drums MISA - Bass Saiki Atsumi - Vocals Kanami Tōno - Lead guitarist and music composer Miku Kobato - Band founder, lyricist, vocals, and rhythm guitarist. Miku Kobato is a pseudonym, Kobato means little pigeon and she does strange things like ending her sentences with "po" which is the sound a pigeon makes (in Japanese, in English pigeons "coo"). But she is a tireless promoter of the band as well as being the person who created the band. The live was from their 2018 appearance in Los Angeles , their first regular US concert. They had previously performed in 2016 at an anime convention in Seattle.

Thanks for the subtitles. I really liked that you did the video and the live version. They are definitely a band to be experienced live. If you're open to more recommendations I would suggest Puzzle and then the acoustic version of the same song (both live). Another of my personal favorites would be Secret My Lips and Secret Maiko Lips. The latter from their side project, on April fool's 2018 they announced they were changing the band name to Band-Maiko and they released a video were they were dressed as maiko (apprentice geisha) and rewrote the song with traditional Japanese instruments in the mix and sung in the Kyoto dialect. They also had a Band-Maiko original song in April last year as well as a 7 song ep with 6 of the songs rewritten in this style.

Welcome aboard, NeonskePetunije. You are embarking on (along with many others) an awesome 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 rock n’ rollers. But you’ll also hear heavy influences of Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Consistency (nearly 100 songs with new album, “Conqueror”), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destine 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 50 favorites! "Thrill" is a great place to start: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8qjaspkspOYnIU.html Their later songs drive even more - Rin’ne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Glory, Choose Me, and on and on. But don’t miss out on their powerful, beautifully written slower tunes like Daydreaming, Anemone, Endless Story and Smile... or more punky like Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series! And many are represented with over 20 well produced music videos. kzfaq.info Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE concerts such as ZEPP 2018, Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 and some of the better 2019 tour Fan vids. Here’s two of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at super intimate venues. The first taken by Vladimir Chupin in Hamburg: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lcVhp8toyNrLfaM.html, the second taken by JT Dayo in LA: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/att5jKWcpt_Gc30.html, and third, JOSER8845 in LA: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q9mHjdmdrK2og6c.html. If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, CD, DVD/BR & 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 are: (Ages are best est.). Saiki Atsumi “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements, melodies and High Priestess mediator between the Gods (Band Members) and the masters and princesses (Fans). At 25 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Leader) as Miku calls her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away the persona. Her charisma, performance and voice focus the experience. Miku Kobato "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 28 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. Kurrupo! No, no, no… KURRUPO!! Kanami Tono “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 28 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 "Gorilla" - Drums, 29 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 “DrumRilla” is the Party! MISA "Assassin" - Bass, 27 years old. A sullen, barefoot, dark spirit driving her 5-string bottom-end to hell and back, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. The Mysterious One 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!

Yes, they really rock! Bass and drums are always kickass and tight!

Hi from the UK....love the reaction. 😁

The reaction to Misa's bass is awesome!

My interpretation of the video....starts off with a little girl playing with dolls...wearing a blindfold so she can't see the world.....as the song goes on we see the girl take off the blindfold and walks away from the doll to face life.....hence the life is a dice...... Nice reaction ladies....keep it up!.....🇨🇦

Band-Maid ...Yeah.:)

MISA MISA MISA!

So Cool!!!!! I was at that concert. A small place called "The Lodge" near downtown LA I was standing in front of Misa's side of the stage. Loved watching her play that Bass. My 1st time watching you 2.

I hope to see more Band-Maid reactions from you guys! Поздрав од Македонија!

I haven't seen you girls do a reaction in quite some time which is a shame because I really enjoyed your comments during & after the reaction. I'm guessing that those were for Jinjer. I was so happy when I seen this come up & I wasn't disappointed. Glad you enjoyed them. By far the best "hard rock" band I've heard in 30yrs. You just earned yourself a new subscriber with Band-Maid. I hope to see many more. Thanks so much for the English subtitles.

Hey, from USA! I like your style! And I love this band! Thanks for featuring Band-Maid! Thumbs up! Oh, that phone recording was BLOODY MURDER! There are GOOD live vids on youtube that'll do the band justice...but...that was painful...hehehe

MORE BAND MAID!

I was at that show and have seen them three times, they are amazing, if you get the chance to see them you simply must

Hi, from California USA. Band Maid fan in quarantine and Google led me to you. Thanks for checking out Band-Maid.

Very nice video.

More BAND-MAID, please. But no more Fan-Cam videos. Anything from the Studio Coast or Zepp Tokyo LIVE concerts.

MISA! MISA! MISA! I had to turn my headphones around...the audio is flipped. LoL!!

Great reaction. Very complete. I like it. Please continue to react Band Maid. It's a wonderful journey with a five very talented girls....

Thank you from Japan. Please more BAND-MAID.

My favorite band I don't understand. Check out more of their live stuff, it will blow you away! Plenty of professional Live HD clips on YT. Not some shitty phone recording. I have a playlist on my channel, just pick one....Chur from NZL.

Thank you great reaction. More Band maid please.

Now you did it. You have stumbled upon the greatest rock band of all time. Let me know if you find even one bad song. They are all great! Take your pick ...at random. I have subscribed.

GREAT REACTION!

I don't know if somebody pointed this out already. That was basically recorded with what we call a fancam which is probably a cell phone. Which is why you're not going to get that good of a recording sound wise. But you have to check these lady out on their official live releases. They are mind-blowing and & amazing talent live !

I was at that concert, and the sound was fantastic, so it the videos fault

👑

I see some Iron Maiden reaction videos so I'll suggest Lovebites - Shadowmaker or Lovebites - Break the wall live. Not many good live videos but anything with Battle in the East Live is great quality.

Okay you two, Babymetal, Karate? I’m sure. How about Maria Franz of EUZEN with Heilung, Krigsgaldr? Probably not. It’s long but worth it. (At least to some of us crazies.)

I’m pretty sure you’ve done Jinjer, Pisces, live. If not, please do. Also EUZEN Metamorph, @ Castlefest 2015. Love fem vocals. And fem reactions (like yours). You’re on my subscription list.

Bass gets a lot of love in Band-Maid songs, especially in live-performances like "Don't You Tell ME" which adds in a Bass vs Lead Guitar battle that isn't found outside of live performances. Here's a link to a high quality live video of it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNWheNWTqt2UZaM.html

If you (on our left) likes a bit of bass, check out Moratorium live (Zepp) .. you might just like that 😉😀

Baby Metal is another great female lead metal band. Any song from them is great

This is a much better place to start on the live stuff. From the Zepp Tokyo show, Play (Live): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j8uZfM2mxNqVdGw.html or 輪廻 (Japanese for "Reincarnation" in English) from the new album : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ebdpl8V2u82-k3U.html Enjoy the Band Maid journey. They are special!

All of the recommended live videos of them are pro recordings from one of two shows. You can tell the pro ones by hovering over the thumbnail, as the preview will cut to various camera angles. The fancams won't. There are some decent fancams out there, but none with the quality of the pro recordings, unsurprisingly. Strangely, this song is regarded as one of very few they have where the studio version is better than live.

Take a look at starset / manifest

Though I Needed The Subtitoes [My Russian Is A Little Light], Your Analysis Of The Lyrics Was Better Along The Same Lines I Saw...The Creepy Little Girl Was A Symbol. We Hold On To The Familiar, Blinded By The Mundane Until We're Ready To Take Off The Blindfold, Toss The Dice And Roll With Life. #RicFromBelmond

Anyone know what venue that was? It looks familiar, so wondering if it was a show I was at....

BABYMETAL PLEASE

Thank you for nice reaction. I recommend Live "Turn Me On" (Zepp Tokyo) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbWke6-bu5vHfqM.html "YOLO"(MV) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rbGKld2Uusq9YZs.html "On set" (Live) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q8pgo9t6rpm9p4E.html "Don't you tell ME" (Live) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNWheNWTqt2UZaM.html

Try song Onset

Please react to Daydreaming MV🌼, omg fancam🤦🤦‍♀️

Fan cam should always be a last resort. There's plenty of good live footage of this band including the Zep concerts. Try one of the new songs like Rinni or Blooming

next you can react to BAND MAID 😁👍 Reincarnation, more heavy than dice, studio version kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ebdpl8V2u82-k3U.html and live Version kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLx3rJehpquvpIk.html

awesome, you guys actually react to the live version too... here a version from summersonic of the same song kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nc9lYMJ2qKiUeGQ.html ... if you guys wanna react to more band-maid, here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ebdpl8V2u82-k3U.html Rinne/Reincarnation from their latest album... and this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/abWlgpOhzKmmhaM.html is my favorite song from them.... cheers

Are you ladies musicians, aspiring musicians, or do any of you two ladies play a musical instrument ?

Don't get mad at me if i''m wrong, cuz I am just guessing and don't speak your language. Is that Russian or polish that you are speaking, it's just a guess !

Well, it always depends what you use to record a Live song. This was recorded terrible. Bandmaid is live much better, than it sounds here. That's why I like mre thei Live songs, that the studio.
