Proving once again that Band-Maid can really rock the (Jon) House!

Only Band Maid can make a term like "hunky dory" cool again. Controlled chaos is their signature sound. Band Maid forever!

Mincho solo: our little genius harpsichord artist!

If you have been doing music for a while and a band smashes all of your preconceived notions in good way that's what you live for!! 😊👈

Crazily enough not a lot of reactors mention the guitars in this song, except to call out the solos. People can’t hear everything going on along with vocals?!

Being stuck on a Band-Maid kick is so very understandable.

An albums worth of ideas and music all in one song. Not for the first or last time Band Maid are worth stopping and re listening to many, many times. Plus we have the usual little solo from guitar and bass.

"A woven tapestry of sound"... or what we mere mortals call songs. 😉😂😂

You gotta check out The Warning sometime. Maybe start with their song - Money?

It's been Hunky Dory Days for USA, Mexico and Japan fans, that's for sure! As their 2023 10th Anniversary Concert series closes after they performed a whooping 70 of their over 120 superhit songs. And their big climax at the 17,000 seat Yokohama stadium Nov 26 was unbelievable! I'm still watching it on live stream extended. A live Band-Maid experience is not to be missed, if at all possible! Thx, Jon!

This song takes me back to my first year discovering these ladies. Then leading up to my first ever concert with them in 2022!!

This track so reminds me of my trip to Japan (first time).❤......And the second time I actually visited the quarry where this was filmed!.😊. Both times visiting Japan from UK to see the MAID's LIVE..Tokyo Garden Theater and Yokohama Arena......Long May They Reign!👑

Shes so amazing vocalist vocks really great band and song! parfect scampering!!🎶⚡☝🏻🤘🏼👍🌠✨🌟

Hey Jon, it's great to see you on here again, I hope you are having a hunky-dory day!

Think this video was hard on you . It was 90 degrees when they shot it . Kanami is afraid of heights plus she was in Mincho mode on the ledge of a cliff.

Band_Maid doing Band-Maid things

I love watching musicians geeking out andf getting mind-f*ck*d figuring out what they're doing 👍😎😊😊😊

MISA MISA MISA!!!!!

This might be my favorite bridge by them

Welcome back 😊Just a request from they live performance from Lollapalooza festival this year.The songs Dice & HATE... you will enjoy 😉 I promise

That Jayzus!!😂😂 Nuff said

Kobato has gotten so much better on guitar. Our Small Pigeon is doing a few really neat guitar tricks. Saw them in concert and they played this it was great live. Psycho and Pigeon's vocals on this are really great. Love the rap. Chorus of Hunky-dory with e-e-e-e-e-e gets me every time I hear this. Misa makes us blow away like dust in the wind with her mad bass skills. Drums under Misa's bass really enhance what Misa is doing. Gorilla is the best. Mincho has short sweet and impactful solos. He techniques are also improving. In fact all the members are improving. "How is that possible?" Rocket asked. Don't worry, Jon. Band-Maid makes us all fall apart like so much mush or putty in their fingers. Truly they dominate.

Band-Maid composes in a way that makes you lose your composure. Hmm. (Also, they look like they're surrounded by barcodes!)

There's a little bit of a tidbit for the Band-Maid fans in this song. (It might also be the reason why the verse first caused you to pause so many times, without you realizing why). Normally, in most of their other songs, the instruments are "united" (for a lack of a better term from me) in the first verse. In the second verse, they would vary it by heading out in different directions, typically MISA or Kanami doing their own thing while the rest still support the vocals. In "Influencer" though, they start the first verse by being all over the place (Kanami especially is practically doing her own darn thang). In this second verse however, they quieten down the diversity and become more united instead. I think that switch up would be more likely to be detected by the fans rather than the first-time or casual listeners. To me, that's so damn cool.

This was the last song they released before I seen them for 1st time last October. This was SO amazing live! Glad to see you returning to Band Maid! Hope you got to see them play live this year! I was fortunate to see them play again at their 1st 2023 US show in Houston. By far the best 2 concerts I've been to. ♥ these girls!

Wow best dissection of a very complex song I've heard yet, picked up a lot of new insights. Coolio. Yes this Band Maid rabbit hole is wide, deep, and incredible. My fav band ever by far.

My opinion, their weirdest song. What genre even is this?! When they do this live, it really feels different in the best sense. I was only a few feet from Kanami and was floored by how much creativity she puts into this song. And there are plenty of chances for audience participation! “Chit chat, chit chat!” Their music is often so dense and complex it takes at least six or more close listens to catch what they are doing. One for each instrument and another as a whole.

Glad to see you back Jon! I have missed your reactions.

Jon House back in the house! Great breakdown -- Influencer may be a satiric song, but it has a TON of stuff going on in it.

If you compose yourself I'll unsubscribe.....LOL! MISA slapped first then picked out on that dual bass feature, not sure you caught that. I'm gonna give Akane's world class fills some love here. Just a killer song and is high on my list too of favorites.

Dude, are you in an Earthquake Zone, or do you just need a better table?
