Constructive power 😁 Hurricane which sweeps over a field of rubble, leaving after it the rows of beautiful buildings...

They're gonna be just as impactful on the rock world as kiss and ac/dc someday soon. I can sence it.

Yes, I completely agree. Band Maid is the best rock and roll band of today.

Yes, I agree completely.

My pleasure! 🙏🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊

Yes, any normal person would stare at the stage with his jaw on the floor, forgetting that he must be on the guard against the trespassers. On the other hand, how can be any trespassers when BAND-MAID is playing? They dominate the hearts, and no one can resist!

You are most welcome! 🥰🙏

Absolutely! Although, I think, the generic public has lost the understanding of good music. Nobody expects the musicians to play their instruments anymore. When BAND-MAID played "from now on" at Lollapalooza, the audience was clearly shocked, and could not really understand what's going on, I think.

@VladimirChupin I love that. My 1st serving was Thrill video. I enjoyed but surprised, not sure what I saw. I watched the video again & again. Attended 3 live servings in last year. Big smile thinking of those shows. They evoke emotion in listeners. That still shocks me in a good way. Cheers

@@gmcjetpilot BAND-MAID is very special in this regard. Indeed, they evoke emotions in the audience in a way very few bands do. I call it "Music 2.0". Remember there was "Web", and then there was "Web 2.0", which appeared when the blogs and social networks appeared? The key difference was that the users could leave comments, and that thing changed our world permanently. In the same way, BAND-MAID communicates so much with the audience, and involve people so closely in their performance, you feel like they really take you to their higher world. It's an amazing feeling, isn't it?

🙏🙏💖💖

Oh yes! "from now on" live is an amazing show of Akane's power!

Watch Vlad’s San Diego “From Now On” for an excellent Akane cam angle, if you have not already. I have one also from there. And one from Phoenix where you can hear Miku dominate the mix.

Exactly! 😂

I keep rewatching their MV for this song, which came on the Blu-Ray on Unleash EP. It's exactly as you said, "elegant power." If they ever play Budokan, they should play it in circular configuration, and set the stage as in that MV - facing each other, not the crowd. That would be interesting...

@@VladimirChupin I stole/paraphrased the "elegant power" from another fan because it was so accurate! And the stage at the Boston show and how they made use of it on the fly definitely made me think an in-the-round concert could be amazing.

@@stevehall5128 Elegant Power. That's a tough one to top. Somehow I don't think a man could write quite like this, well anyone really. but it has such a delicate, feminine touch. These shows are historic.

It is conceivable that other artists could manage a decent reproduction, a cover if you will, of this music. But the writing, Kanami compositions, are among the greatest of all time. That mind is irreplaceable, unique, it can not be overrated.

He could have stepped a little bit to the side, there was no need to sit in the middle of the stage 😡

@@VladimirChupin He could have been blocking your view, instead😒

@@K.H.D710 Well, I was thankful to him that at least he moved a bit away, not blocking my view entirely. If he would sit in front of me, I would have to hold my phone above my head all the time, and the people behind me would be pissed off, probably.

@@VladimirChupin The guy standing behind you could be Ryan by any chance?🤣

@@K.H.D710 Ryan was on the balcony if I remember correctly. You can see it in some photos. I think I even turned my phone to the back of the hall a few times, and he could be seen in some videos.

Thanks! Watching your vids from Phoenix now. Amazing! Thanks a lot!

He was somewhat impressed in the end. He hanged out with the fans after the show, listening to what people were talking about.

@@VladimirChupin wow, really? nice.. hopefully he join our religion after that show.. 😂😂

Oh yeah, that's for sure! I really needed it. With all that shit-war, flight from Russia, settling in another country... I needed to unload my mind of those anxieties. And BAND-MAID was the most powerful tool to demonstrate to me, one more time, that there is a lot of beauty in the world, and the life is worth living. Viva BAND-MAID!

@@VladimirChupin It's well deserved! A lot of happy memories gained and recorded for us who couldn't join the concerts! Thanks again for sharing.

@@dutchiec3883 🙏

Yes, it was a very nice OKYUJI. The configuration of the stage was very interesting, there was a big empty pocket on the ground floor where I stood. And the girls ventured there from time to time, including Kanami. There was a little boy next to me, like 7 years old maybe, and she was fascinated with such a young master, she would approach him a few times, and in the end gave him her pick. And Akane gave him her stick 🥰

💯💯

Boston 😍💖🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊

@@VladimirChupin I meant it was great at the Seattle show as well. I was towards the back of the venue in the bar area for most of the show, but went towards the front (behind Wave) for a few songs and this was one of them.

@@davidtollefson8411 I see 😍 Yes, "from now on" was definitely a highlight of this whole tour. Amazing instrumental piece.

Yes, I wonder what this security guy was thinking about them in the end 😂

​@@VladimirChupin I wonder, what was in his bag. Maybe a defibrillator, if someone's heart aches.

Oh yeah... I'm asking this question to myself all the time. I bless that moment in 2018 when I finally clicked on that white thumbnail for THRILL which KZfaq was pushing to me already for half a year or something. I was absolutely pessimistic there would be anything noteworthy behind that photo with girls in maid outfits. But I clicked on it, and life was never the same for me... May God bless the Maids! What a band!

Ha ha 😂 I actually go to Facebook every so often. And I have no feeling that there is a shortage of knowledgeable fans there. Bartoz, SJ Nix, Peter Lim, Doc Loco, other long-standing fans. I think they make it right each time something goes wrong. But I am grateful to you for your encouragement. I will try to go to Facebook more often... from now on 😂
