Thanks for watching! I missed you! Hit that subscribe button for more :)

They just can’t make a bad song. The best.

Welcome back Jules. BAND-MAID are Awesome. Have a Hunky Dory Day! Peace. 1.59

Thanks Jules!

My fave part was when Saiki parted the lake at the end of filming so the Maids could get easily back to their bus. But that's only on the "Making of" super secret version.😏

Happy you're back! Band-Maid, now 20% crispier.

Great to have you back! Although I think you didn't pause enough! 😄

Its good to have you back.

Hunky dory Days!

Welcome back, Jules!!! Glad you came back!!😁😁🤘🤘

It's been Hunky Dory Days for USA fans, that's for sure! A live Band-Maid experience is not to be missed, if at all possible! Thx, Jules!

Just Band-Maid doing Band-Maid things

I just seen them live in DC Jules, they were awesome, even better then my expectations and my expectations were high. Enjoyed the reaction, have a good one!

My 2 favorite trombonist in 1 video. I think Unleash!!!!! is right up your alley. I also challenge you to react to Dawn Winery by Band Maid, and see if can hit pause .

That was a great one, Jules! 🙂 When you get a chance, try and find the M/V for 'from now on', from the same EP. I think it might be the finest thing they've done to date, and I know that you'll really enjoy it! Your 'B game' chops are better than most people's 'A game'. Love you, man! Peace!!

Jules! You got back around to it :) Thank you!

Hunky Dory Day x4! There's my contribution to the Hunky Dory Day Fund, down here in the comments. Glad to have you back. Never apologize for doing what you do in your own video. Its the reason we are here, after all.

Jules! Band-Maid is on the road in the US right now!! East coast swing starts tomorrow in DC, then Philly, NYC, Boston & Meadowlands NJ, before final “Service” in Chicago. I don’t know where your at, but if you can go I’m sure you’ll have a great time. The Maids are remarkable. Then the return to Japan to open for Guns N Roses on Sun, Nov 6. Busy maids! Rock on!! 🤘🏼🎼🔥🎸😎✌🏼

Great reaction ! But what I want to know is: Who is that guy who does not want you to stop and or rewind and react, analyse ?

hunky-dory (adj.) 1866, American English (popularized c. 1870 by a Christy Minstrel song), perhaps an elaboration of hunkey "all right, satisfactory" (1861), from hunk "in a safe position" (1847) New York City slang used in street games, from Dutch honk "post, station, home," in children's play, "base, goal," from Middle Dutch honc "place of refuge, hiding place." A theory from 1876, however, traces it to Honcho dori, said to be a street in Yokohama, Japan, where sailors went for diversions of the sort sailors enjoy.

Hi Jules! Nice to see you again. Hunky Dory is an old English expression meaning something is good. Hunky Dory is still a common expression where I live in the UK. In fact it was used a week ago in a documentary about Ukraine about Russian forces "everything is not Hunky Dory".

We all knew Jules was gonna love that double bass/guitar solo parts 🤣 hope you were able/going to see them LIVE 😁

Welcome back! I kinda laughed when you asked to get this to 20 likes. I’m betting you had that in the first 30 minutes. You still got it. Can’t wait to see you do more Band Maid.

Nice to see you back. I always enjoy your insights on music.

Great reaction! I saw them live in Seattle and I will never be the same. As corny as it sounds, their music penetrates the soul.

Hunky dory reaction 👍

New sub. You're a very fine reactor with great insight into the music!

MISA MISA MISA!!!!! have a Hunky Dory Day!!!!!

I love reactors who say that they are going to pause a Band Maid song. Then the hook, then another hook, then the drums, then the bass, then the guitar solo then the vocals and then the Miku little asides that hook 'Everybody Look'. I mean trying to react to a Band Maid song is just impossible. But great listening to the insights when you can actually find time to pause. Hunky Dory Days.

Shoot. When you said trombonist the thought in my head was the Newport cigarettes Print AD with the dude "playing" a trombone on the beach. lmao! Oh the memes that has come from it. Thanks! Nice reaction.

Welcome back Jules. I don't think you have completely lost your reactor chops 😁. You definitely should have listened to the solos again though.

As for the "clarity," audiophiles definitely hear differences from mix to mix, be it CD, a live show or an official MV. And even in similar formats, the mix changes, from era to era. If you like it, enjoy it, because the mix will probably be different, next year. 😏

インフルエンサーでヒットしたなら貴方はマダBAND-MAIDを知りませんね。彼女たちはLIVEBANDです､ぜひ新しい音源に遭遇すること祈ってます。

Welcome back, Jules! :) Never mad. Do your thing, it's why we're here. :) You have to check out Unleash!!!!! as well! Band-Maid gets their anime treatment and saves the world! Something you may have missed is Japanese phenom singer Ado (her 20th birthday was yesterday) taking over the world with her One Piece Film Red soundtrack. You should REALLY check out Ado - Tot Musica, Ado - Backlight (Gyakkou), Ado - Fleeting Lullaby.

Thanks again from Japan 有難う 💛。 As you may know, this song was played twice flawlessly in your state (Dallas and Houston) on Oct.21 and 22 at two "House of Blues" during their on-going US tour😍. This MV was filmed at a famous and old stone quarry (Ishikiri-Sanmyaku) located in Ibaraki prefecture, north of Tokyo. Kanami, the lead guitarist, was very scared when she stood near the brink of the cliff but she could defy the fear once cameras started to capture her playing scene. [source : Gekirock News]. Saiki is singing "Hunky Dory" repeatedly. It sounds to me, an aged Japanese, a kind of word play or pun. This phrase is very close to Japanese expression "Honki (本気) Dori (or Tori 撮り)" that means 「本気」= serious, earnest, sincere" and 「撮り」= filming, recording, image capturing". This is cynically suitable 😄 to what influencers do, isn't it? In the rap part Saiki is also singing "Always that one-upping contest, chit-chat chit-chat". "Chit-chat" sounds like "chicchai ちっちゃい" in Japanese. That means "tiny, trivial, frivolous, worthless etc." Miku's lyrics includes a lot of word play and Miku admitted she did it on purpose in an interview [source : Spice Oct.7] "Influencer" was played on Sep.7 at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo in Band-Maid's pre-US concert as the 13th song and that was the premiere (live debut). Just so you know, I witnessed it at the venue ヽ(^o^)丿.

Hey Jules. Glad to see you back with Band Maid. I notice you doing the same faces I did when I first heard this. Especially the hip hop break, followed by bass solo, guitar solo, then held vocal notes. They just keep you thinking WTF. Feel free to stop, rewind, and discuss. I've always enjoyed your breakdowns and explanation of why you think things work.

AKANE (the drummer) studied at the Tokyo University of Music along with MISA!! Fun fact, AKANE also plays the piano and trombone. "Hunky Dory" means "Take a picture prettier than I am." in Japanese Miku says "chit-chat chit-chat" is in japanese"ちっちゃ". It means "He/She is petty-minded" "He/She is a person of small caliber" Japanese Interviewer: Since all five girls are cute, each of them has a different character. Those who want to see idols perform can also enjoy (each character individually). MIKU: NO. Not just for one of them, all of them together! Japanese Interviewer: Kuruppo, you are a pretty good tactician. Clever! You thought of it. You really formed the band you wanted, right? MIKU: It's a Miracle! SAIKI: That's right! This was the full interview - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bZp2h9x_uNnboXU.html Different interview: Interviewer: Why should people listen to Band-Maid? MIKU - “We’re not a pop idol group! Don’t judge us on how we look. We want to blow you away with our heavy rock sound.”

There is a new instrumental called "from now on" and it is quite heavy. There is a music clip on You Tube. Please search for it.

@6:25 I'm not a musician like you, however it seems to me when Kanami begins her solo it sounds just like Bach's Toccata and Fugue. Somehow and maybe my ears are betraying me she makes that guitar sound like an organ!!

Twenty likes..... wut???!! Your target is only twenty likes???..... You're pulling all our legs, right?

the tone of this new album is more dark and sarcastic. it is not nu-metal but sure taste like it.

日本人は退屈なのが嫌いで、面白いと思った事を試すのです。ラップあり英語の使い方を柔軟に試すが、ロックの魂は残す。そこからまた新しい文化が出て来る。欧米の音楽は固定観念に囚われ劣化している。その例がグラミー賞とか言う詰まらない賞。

wow sound output so low not good dude

Akane just hammering the floor tom. Akane and MISA are the best rhythm section in Rock.

Notice that Kanami's solo is picked, not tapped...and MIKU holds that final scream for 8 measures at the top of her vocal range. And, for the record, Akane's first instrument was trombone, not drums...and she still plays.
