They are a live band if one ever existed. My first live show was 1970, Led Zeppelin!. I've seen quite a few more. I love this band ,and hope to see them live. Love it

Miku brings so much to the table, going over and under Saiki's pitch of voice harmonizing that I think sometimes she is underrated given the fact she just started playing guitar and decided to take the backseat in the vocals but I truly enjoy her journey, from pretending to play the guitar to now been able to play that ridiculous triplet on Black Hole. And obviously, great reaction :D

I'm 63 years old. I grew up seeing all of the greatest rock bands of all time live from the late 60's through the 90's ( we went to epic rock concerts almost every week; at least 3 times a month). I've seen a lot of great rock and roll. And I can definitely say that I think these young ladies are the greatest hard rock/pop rock band in the world right now. They are absolutely phenomenal!

Miku told me she's on stage 3 of World Domination. I said "Remember Rome wasn't built in a day". Miku replied "I know it wasn't, silly. Rome was built in Italy" :)

I suggest for your next Band-Maid experience, you go the unseen world (not on y tube) and discover "Moratorium" live.

Yay for MOAR BAND-MAID!! The end of black hole where Kanami goes nuts with all the sliding is insane! Such precision! Miku is the little pigeon with backup vocals and rhythm guitar, Po! Also pretty cool to see her holding it down on Black Hole, her guitar sounded so damn good. Hope you both are doing well! :D

How many songs do you know where the back up vocals get mentioned let alone praised?! The whole album has great back up vocals by Miku.

Level of guitar wizardry on Black Hole: Kanamaniac + It amazes me that this fairly mousy, shy, bookish, scholarly girl turns into a guitar god when she picks up her PRS and steps on-stage.

Was about to ask when you guys were gonna react to this. The live version of Manners really highlights Misa & Miku's importance to that song

Here guys. You'll never forget the Maids names again. Band-Maid members are: Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 27 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away her sometimes perceived, coldish persona. Saiki’s powerhouse performances, charisma, and voice focus the experience that’s driven her to the top echelon of hard rock frontwomen... or frontmen! Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 29 years old. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR SpokesPigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. Kuruppo! No, no, no… KURUPPO!! Kanami Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 29 years old, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want from Mincho is more! Akane Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, 30 years old, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) while revolutionizing rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumZilla” is the Party! MISA (Me-Sa) "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass, 28 years old. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin literally kills it… every note.. uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA! MISA!

GORILLAKANE!!!!!! DOUBLE BASS 16ths at 224 BPM at end of BLACK HOLE!!! This whole band just keeps getting better and better and better and. . . . .Seriously. . .maybe the best band in the world right now! Loved this. thank you for the reactions!

Blues rock to speed metal, Band Maid really shows their versatility with these two songs! Love the intro for Manners! Love the Pigeon scream! Ya, ya, ya, ya, Yes, Yes, Yes! Both songs really showcase Misa and Akane, Love it! Anyone question that Miku can play? The intro into Black Hole should dispel that myth!

These two songs are such a great showcase of the range of talents in this band. While obviously the bass mix in this is amazing and MISA is on fire and Miku's back up vocals are almost every highlight, the hero of this video for me is Saiki. Her vocals are so strong. Strong second for the suggestions of both Nemophila and Hanabie!

They were great as always. I so want to see them live. Soon as they get here I will catch a show.

9:40 It's Miku Kobato (Rhythm Guitar)

Misa, Misa, Misa ! That bass is so Naaaaasty !!

You guys need to react to Play, the official live version. Trust me, you'll love it!

All I have to see is Band Maid and I am here cant wait till they tour again gonna see JinJer in dec phoenix Band Maid next I hope!

Black Hole is just like... Let me introduce you to AK-47ne, her arms and feet are just FLYING in this song, its awesome!

i listend to black hole so many times and every time i picked up new stuff....riffs basslines backing volcals or drumm fills i missed before.....its madness

It never ceases to amaze me just how well-balanced and clean Band-Maid´s mixes are, to be honest, as you can hear each instrument and how they change the overall sound. Especially, the bass guitar´s sound is in many cases completely buried under the audio output of other instruments. And it would be a pity not to hear Misa´s playing and how fluidly she switches between playing with a pick and fingers. Akane is such a solid drummer. Saiki is a great lead vocalist, but Miku´s backing vocals make it sound even better when they harmonize. While Kanami still does the lion´s share of lead guitar-playing, she still writes things that help Miku to improve her own skills. Another all-female Japanese band which you might want to check out in the future: 【MV】NEMOPHILA / DISSENSION or something rawer (not as much post-production): 「OIRAN」(KZfaq ver.) / NEMOPHILA Of course, there is the band Hanabie, as well, but I don´t want to push my luck or whatever. :-)

I'm so happy to hear you acknowledge Miku for her work, she is doing a lot here and rarely is recognized for her huge presence, thank you for this and hopefully other's will come to this realization in the near future.

Great ride!

As someone who has been singing for money since 1966, I'd like to call out Miku's background vocals. Saying "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah" is extremely hard to do at that tempo. "Ah" is one of the most difficult sounds to make unless you stretch it out...way legato.

Well the pigtails is Miku, but just think of her as "the pigeon"

Nice to see you guys back with the ladies. It's definitely been a while. Stay safe and well out there !

Overwhelmed.😵

It is not a great day till I hear the barefoot assassin on bass.

Hey guys! When the Maids started releasing live videos from that streaming show, Manners was what I wanted most, and Black Hole was what I never thought we'd get, because it's insane. Well, clearly I underestimated the ladies, something I shan't do again. 🤘😎🤘

Black Hole is crazy good. Thanks for the react :-)

Band Maid coming to the US Dallas October 21st check out their new instrumental Onset

Miku Miku , Miku back up vox and writes lyrics and formed the band , her idea for the maid look as well. Little genius !

To bad they couldn't have a live audience for this. Imagine what the energy would have been.

Choose Me. Studio version. Totally awesome.

Band Maid doing Band Maid things...

The pigeon does backup vocals

I don't know if you guys have seen them live yet, but when they do this song at a show the entire crowd chimes in with Miku on the ha-ha's and that scream. I've seen them three times and it was the three best shows I've ever been to, except for Blood Sweat and Tears at the Cafe au Go Go in NYC in 1967 and The Doors at the Whiskey au Go Go in LA in 1968 or 69 just before I went to boot camp. They are the best rock band on the planet. And groups like SCANDAL, Glim Spanky, Lovebites, Nempohila and Gacharic Spin are also right up there. And let's not forget the great J-Rock groups that are no longer together like Stereopony and Girlfriend. The future is safe in Japan.

Miku on backup vocals and rhythm guitar

Great choice guys. Misa slaying it on bass as usual and everyone at their best.

🐦 4:51 *Miku: Masters and Princesses* 🐦

So, Barefoot Spice, Shorty Spice, Gorilla Spice, Queen Spice, and Clumsy Spice? LOL

"Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!" - Miku Kobato...po

2 BREEES for 1? I'll take it.

THE best live Rock band on Earth. Think that's everything covered.

Guys, LOVEBITES just posted their new video live song Set The World On Fire, and check also another all female Japanese Metal Band NEMOPHILA - songs Dissension, Raitei(Thunder) HANABIE - song We Love Sweet, if you guys love Babymetal you will love them too.... :)

Regarding black hole Konami came to Akane and asked her what the highest BPM that she had drummed to. They then bumped it up a bit because Akane wanted a challenge! Also keep a close eye on Saiki's eyes!!

LOVEBITES Winds of Transylvania or edge of the world
