That's for sure. BAND-MAID is very good live!

That's one of the very reasons I love BAND-MAID♡ They're really enjoying playing music. Kuruppo~~~~

They are getting better with each passing year, but I agree: it's so sweet to see how they were 5 years ago...

They are getting better as musicians and bigger as a band. I hope they can preserve enough of this "sweetness" that they had 2018 as they mature. @@VladimirChupin

Agreed. Vladimir's archive is a treasure. Fingers crossed for the EU community for 2024 although I won't be mad if they grace us again in the US. Miku 😍. Simply a goddess

@@eaglez1901 Let's hope that EU comes next year. Miku is adorable and fun but I agree with Kanami; Saiki is so cute, Saiki is so beatifull and I would add that Kanami has a very good taste. Saiki rules 😉

More maid, happier world!

10,000% agree

100.000% agree

D’accord

MISA MISA MISA ! ! !

Misa is my favorite too. 🤩 💕 She has the “it” factor.

In that case, I think you'll rather enjoy this set of live videos, Alex: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z7CXqNiildK4j3k.html :)

In the world, as @skipwoday put it :-)

I am too, and hoping they do conquer the world's music. I'm sick of pop, I want 5 girls in cute outfits shred the stage with hard rock! I can't wait for them to do a live show in Manila!

the world my friend, the world...

Kelan kaya?😢

And she is gorgeous ❤

@@scottmeyers1903 same here

Yes most definately gorgeous and I love this vid--gives you an up close and personal look at her working her magic! What a bassist, all of those double stops, the monstrous melodic groove...perfect!

I can't stop watching her. She's so good

She is one of my two favorites which are: MISA - Band-Maid, John Myung - Dream Theater, and MISA is as gorgeous as it gets

DaveSteele07 Miku is adorable in every video. Its just who she is.

Miku is living the dream . So yes, She, is happy .

I think Utrecht is the place she wants to go most in the world or something, so I'd say she's also a pretty big fan of the Netherlands as a whole.

@@Matthew-ee6nb Yes, she says so during her Magic Spell Time in this concert. This year they are not going anywhere near Utrecht, though...

Also credit to Miku for putting the required work to pull it. I mean 8 hours a day practicing is incredible.

She is a Power !!!

🙏💯

Thanks Vladimir...So glad we appreciate these gals...

Yes, it's a wonderful song! With over 100 great songs BAND-MAID now has in its catalogue, it's easy to forget about some jewels in this collection!

My favourite moment from 'Domination Live (Feb 2020)' is when, late in the song, Miku throws her head right back smiling upwards. I like to imagine she's thinking something like 'Holy s**t...I'm in the best band in the world...and it was all my idea!!...Po!!' They were slaying that song...and the whole gig. (I got the blu-ray a few days ago...7.1 digital surround...awesome)

Miku is made of steel. Her drive and determination is pretty inspiring. She seems pretty fearless to me.

The better she gets, the more she is pushed, the more confident she is, the more fun she has.

I love the shots of Miku in videos and interviews because of her people skills and overall cute aesthetic she invests with the costumes. Saiki hates the "maid" thing hahaha >_

@@joki5346 the more kanami can let loose

Yes, it was a fantastic night indeed! I'm so glad that I have recorded it, and now I can watch it again and again, plunging back into that wonderful atmosphere of energy and joy... I'm rewatching now the last ONLINE OKYU-JI from the day before yesterday. I keep calling it "Budokan," although of course, it was just a crowdless performance in a small studio somewhere in Tokyo. The crowd energy is really missing there... 😩 I imagine what a show it would have been in real Budokan... BAND-MAID is always feeding on the crowd, while the crowd feeds on them. It's like fire and wood: the hotter the flame, the more effective is the burning process, and the hotter the flame gets as a result 🔥 🤘

Definitely so!

Do itashi mashite 🙏 どういたしまして 🙏

it;'s so glorious to find a band that's talented in the complexity of their music.

🤘 Pigeons gonna save the world! 🕊

@@VladimirChupin HAHA....Yes they will.

So far their tours were rather short. A normal PTO should be enough 😂

I flew all the way from Moscow specifically to see them :-) Yes, it was really great! To see them so close, it was unbelievable.

Thats great dedication man, I was lucky for a gig in my country :D

Ha-ha 😂 Probably it's because it's not her lyrics...

@@VladimirChupin i think miku herself wrote the freedom lyrics

@@wormcacing2373 Sorry, my bad... Lyrics by: 小鳩ミク [Kobato, Miku] Music by: 井口イチロウ [Iguchi, Ichiro]

The only reason my wife is not getting jealous about me loving them is that it's a whole band of five girls. Nothing personal, she thinks 😂 Well, of course, they are more like anime characters to me. When I saw them during Meet&Greet at Melkweg, I was shocked that they are actually the real people. They looked so gorgeous... and quite unreal, like porcelain dolls. When they are on stage, it's really like watching a movie, but when they were just sitting there on chairs... I felt like I'm sleeping and watching a dream.

@@VladimirChupin Lucky Man, I'm jealous..and addicted to these talented Musicians... band Maid Rock Hard...

@@dirklerxstprof2112 I too a jealous. Damn COVID-19 is killing my vibe. I hopefully get to meet them one day.

Check out all videos of Vladimir feom this same show

@@Puyax01 I gonna do that. Thx! 👍

Yes, it was an interesting bonus of me standing on the MISA's side. Kanami is very low in the mix... exactly the way she likes it 🤦‍♂️

Miku really shine in this video, vlad fancam proved to doubters that miku really can play

I hope we'll meet one day! The drink is upon me!

FREEEEEEDOM! 😍🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊

Exactly.

@@DMiyash248 When I heard Greta Van Fleet, I was immediately reminded to Wolfmother.

@@DMiyash248 Hahaha cute girls from Japan, cute boys from America

🙏

If they come anywhere to Europe again, I think I'll go, no matter what...

@@VladimirChupin Hi Vladimir, next stop for me will be Hamburg on June 26th. It´s a really small venue, but it is only 100Km away from my home. Nevertheless if they come this autumn again, I will be there. What is Your plan ? Greetings from Joki

@@joki5346 HI Joki! My plans are to visit all three concerts on the continent: Paris, Bochum, and Hamburg. I already purchased tickets for Paris, and struggling with PayPal to pay for Bochum and Hamburg. See you in Hamburg, then. I hope we will recognize each other! I ordered three custom T-shirts here in Moscow, for Misa, Saiki, and Akane, to wear on three concerts :-) I'll show you the design, hopefully it will be easy to recognize in the crowd!

@@VladimirChupin Hi Vladimir! I also was suprised, that the ticket agency offered no PayPal, so I had to go to my bank and do the transmission the old-fashioned way, because I don´t do online-banking. I ordered the tickets some days ago, but have no response till now. On the other hand, the agency has got good critics, so I have no doubt, that i will get my ticket. The weekend before Bochum I am on an oldtimer-meeting behind Frankfurt with my citroen, maybe I could take Bochum on my way back, but I´m not sure if I decide sponteanously to go there, that I will get a ticket at the entrance. I hope You succeed for Bochum and Hamburg. If not, I can buy them for You. In Hamburg I will wear a black t-shirt from Alcatraz, Ca. regarding to Misa´s answer in her own sense of humor, when she was asked, what she knows from San Francisco. I am sure that we recognize each other, because the vip-crowd won´t be big and june will have t-shirt-weather, I hope.

@@joki5346 I ordered tickets to both Bochum and Hamburg, and paid through PayPal (they provide payment details upon request). Still waiting for them. I wonder why it takes so long to print those tickets and send them out. I understand that this Me-Shop company probably wants to turn these tickets into collectables, that's why they go this long way, of actually printing and mailing them physically. For me, a PDF version would be fine, I'm not going to display tickets on my wall :-) I will wear at each concert, in Paris, Bochum, and Hamburg, one of the custom-made T-shirts, which a small company here in Moscow printed for me. There are two black ones, with Misa and Saiki, and a red one with Akane. Misa is a mysterious black figure with red glowing eyes, I love that fan-maid picture! :-) I will probably wear it in Bochum. And at the back of the T-shirts, I placed their BAND-MAIKO alter egos :-) In Hamburg I'll be in a big company of four, with my wife, my sister and her husband. I will probably wear Saiki T-shirt. See you!

Thanks! If I only knew how great BAND-MAID is, I would follow them all over Europe that month...

Who knows... I also selfishly want, deep in my heart, that their period of initial obscurity continues... Just a little more 😌 I saw them four times in Europe, and two times in Japan, and in Japan, it was not so interesting, to be honest. When you see them somewhere on the horizon, in a big hall, it's like you live your life in a prison cell, looking at the world through a keyhole 😥

What they were joking about, I wonder... And even more surprising how they can chat and laugh, and still play perfectly as if nothing happens... These girls are perfection personified...

My original post should have read why aren't they famous everywhere

It was, indeed. I had a feeling that such beauty simply cannot exist in this world. It's just larger than the universe. The beauty of this music was overspilling somewhere beyond, into the world above our normal and familiar one...

That was my first attempt at recording a concert 😂 And, to be honest, the first concert I attended in something like 20 years... No band and no musician inspired me enough to lift my butt from a sofa and go somewhere. But for BAND-MAID, I specifically travelled to the Netherlands from Russia for one day, just to see them. And I thank God every day now for doing this...

@@VladimirChupin well THANKS! for getting off the couch man!!! not much has gotten me off the couch either in the last 20yrs. lol. this is 100% industrial strength awesomeness!!!!! thank you sir!

@@bosprocket BAND-MAID pretty much single-handedly restores the prestige of hard rock again, after it seems the genre has lost all appeal. Viva BAND-MAID!

@@VladimirChupin yes, the quality and sound of your videos are awesome. I really like the one camera view. I probably already said it in the past but Thank You again.
