🙏💖

mine too!

Nice comment :)

YOKIKANA👍

That's one of the most interesting things, what they do on stage besides playing the song 😍🥰

Yes, the OKYUJI was amazing! Full of cheers, love and support!

They don't do encores.

They put out everything they have in the main show. So no need to do an encore. 🤩🤘

They didn't lol

I was there chanting. They don't lol.

These guys were pretty drunk. I came to them, patted one of them on the shoulder and said, "Daijobu Daijobu," but they did not listen 🙈

🤫 LOL!!! Well, now she’s an honorary Citizen of Philly! Please visit again soon! 😅

Oh yessss 😁 MISA MISA MISA!!!

I'm glad I was able to bring joy to your heart! Omedetto! Happy birthday!

Yes, the Philadelphia show felt like a very good one. Although, to be honest, the whole string of 10 OKYUJIs I've visited felt like I was flying on the wings of happiness from city to city...

🙏

I'm glad you find these videos useful 🙇‍♂️ Just another little evidence of how amazing BAND-MAID is... May they achieve World Domination soon! 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊

@@VladimirChupin Yes your 2019 vids converted me. And many many others. So thanks again for all who may not be so lucky as us to experience them live, and to relive the memories for those who were there.

The secret to success was to upload the files from the PC 🤘🔥

@@VladimirChupin fantastic, glad you were about to find the solution to the compression issue! Once again, it was great to meet and chat with you and Ryan in DC! Keep up the excellent uploads. Looking forward to more! Much respect🤘

@@davidcampbellii6342 By now, I have uploaded everything from this tour, except for New Jersey gig, which was completely ruined (audio-wise) by an app which people have recommended to me on Discord. I'll create the albums in Google Photos and share them in the description of the channel, I think. In this way, you'll be able to download the original files, if you wish. I already uploaded all files to ASUS cloud, but ASUS has a limited data exchange per day, so, I recommend to install their sync app on the PC and let it download the files whenever that data limit is reset.

@@VladimirChupin I will certainly be looking through your library and enjoying the moments. You, along with so many others, have worked hard to spread the news and share the sound of the band. Thanks again!

Yes, they were at a few concerts. In New York, Ryan was actually filming the show right from beneath my elbow 😂

@@VladimirChupinCool! Your live videos are tremendous feeling of unity and wonderful, I watch them every day!! Thank you for your effort and passion Vlad-san 😊 Wow, I'm looking forward to Ryan uploading a video taken from beneath your elbow 😂

@@mamiackerman_1004 It was recorded for Fox 5 channel, I don't know if Ryan actually got it from the TV guys.

I had a difficult time deciding which way to look "MISA! Oh no, Saiki! Oh no, now Kanami!" 😂

@@VladimirChupin Always Saiki and Kanami, back to Saiki

I know, the only real problem with their shows is deciding which one to watch! I have to admit, as much as I love all five of them, I found Saiki completely captivating.

Oh! My favourite album from them is still Unseen World, and I would call it nothing but "prog metal." Actually, that's how Tony Visconti called their music. I don't think there are many bands in the world who are as heavy as BAND-MAID. I've been to a metal festival here in Rotterdam, and I should say that modern metal is a very simplistic thing. It's good for mosh-pitting at a live concert, but I would be bored to death just listening to a CD like that. But I do understand that people expect different things from music. And there are so many bands in the world today that anyone can find something really close to his or her heart.

@@VladimirChupin I don't consider Band-Maid "heavy". They may play the hardest rock, but IMO heavy is for metal bands, which Band-Maid isn't.

@@mmcpa Yes, I remember we had a lot of discussions of this sort in various chats. Well, the definition of "heavy" also seems to be different for different people...

@@VladimirChupin I think someone who just avoids metal would call a rock band heavy. It's perspective. Since I've listened to metal for so long, I rarely hear a non metal band I deem heavy. There are some metal bands I don't consider heavy.

@@mmcpa there's some punk and industrial that come close to that intensit

Oh yeah! MISA an arm's length from your eyes... that's an incredible thing!

I hope it's not the last time we see each other! I'm pretty sure they'll come to Europe in 2023!

They will spend a lot of time around the US this year. In fact, it will be only the US and Japan, so 🤷‍♂

@Vladimir Chupin They're only showing about 4 or 5 dates in the US so far until they go back to Japan. I'm really hoping they come to Philly.

My pleasure! 🙏

Vlad's cams, and others, are better than anything produced, because it's as close to being there as you can get. I've seen them, and these videos don't lie. You can just see how good they are.

Las 5 son tan carismáticas que cada fan tiene su favorita.

@@raistlin906 They have had a poll on Reddit about "Who is your favourite member?" Guess what? Each member got 20% 😂

@@VladimirChupin Really? :) That's cool.

Thanks! It was recorded with my old phone, Huawei P20 Pro. Still good after four years!

🙏

@@VladimirChupin Thanks! I saw a little bit of me. Miku coming to look maid wearing that thing for 4 shows worth it.

In US, they have those waiting lines, starting at 5am or even earlier. I was trying to get there as early as possible, to be at least #20 or somewhere there. In this way, I was always able to be at the rail. 🤘

There was a report that they did it once during the recent Pre-US Tour in Japan. But I think it was probably a very special occasion. Normally they don't do any.

2022 09.09. Eggman Influencer (was performed live for the first time)

Yes, I was lucky to get VIP tickets for all ten OKYUJIs I attended on that tour. I was also going as early as possible to wait in line, to be in the first 20 people in the queue. In this way, I was always able to take a place at the rail.

@@VladimirChupin ah I see.. the vip ticket is the one standing below? for future reference, how many hours early should I be there if I want to be on the front?

@@kampfret Well, there are those guys, Dawn Patrol, they come at 4-5am 🤩 I was coming sometimes at 7am, sometimes at 9 or even 10. It took me some time to get from New York to Boston on FlixBus and I arrived at 10am, I think. I was #37 or something like this, still I was able to take a pretty good spot. The important thing is to run to the rail as soon as you enter. No merch, nothing. Otherwise, you'll lose precious time and will be a few rows further from the stage. Merch you can buy after the show.

@@VladimirChupin dang.. 😅😅 and at what hour the show begin? 10 in the morning means you must dedicated your day for this one show.. (but understandable).. did you still able to buy merch after the show? they didn't sold out yet?

@@kampfret Yes, in the United States it's like that, you can't appear one hour before the show and hope to see anything on stage. I bought some merch at Belasco, yes. Stood in line for one hour or something, but I was able to get a couple of shirts, T-shirts, something else. In New York, I bought ten keyrings and De Lux release of UNLEASH. Normally they have a sufficient supply of goods to serve all people in line. I think the show normally started at 8pm, something like this. They would start letting VIPs in at 6:30 or 7:00, something like this.
