Just wanted to once again thank all you awesome people who keep sending me these clips and videos. Wouldn't be able to do this without ya. You're the real champs.

Only Band-Maid could have people headbanging to the words "Don't dilly-dally..."

The crowd just went fucking nuts when they started playing this in Dallas last year. Such a good song.

Notice how when Kobato-san whispers, she slyly does it over her shoulder? I feel manipulated. And I'm ok with that.

Quote of the day, "Why not be awesome for 3 seconds before continuing to be awesome".

Don’t you just want to watch all of the *BAND-MAID* videos so you can just get it over with and buy their entire discography. 😊

"I'm not gonna talk a lot on this one guys, so if you don't like interruptions, this one's for you" *listens for a few seconds* *tears up the plan and throws it in the trash*

I miss the good old days when Moratorium, Puzzle, Take me higher, Turn me on, Play (bass intro) and Don’t you tell me (guitar-bass duel) were the standard intro catalogue for BM reactions. These need to be released officially asap!

So right about Saiki! Sometimes she seems to get over shadowed by the musical onslaught, but she is carrying the melody virtually all the time with her voice ( inflections, phrasing). I think because of the Japanese language and Miku's lyrics, the melody comes out "better" in the vocals. Make no mistake, Saiki knows what she is doing as much as anyone in the band and I will contest anyone that believes she is not the perfect fit for this band. She has grown into a great front woman as well. I mean it is really special to see her smile on stage.

Who else want Miku to whisper like that in their ears.....

The bass is turned up AND I think she's also chuggin' that bass with Akane's double kick pedal......insane! I love the way you break everything down musically, makes me put my earbuds in and hear things I never did before.....like Kanami's wah-wah here.

I realy love how Miku bounces around during this song :)

One of the very greatest rock songs that has ever existed. Do you realize how hard this would be to play? So intricate and a shitload of different parts. The musicianship of all of them has to be absolutely extraordinary in order to pull this off live. Remarkable.

This song is 3+ years old now and still to this day I'm impressed with how fucking metal that breakdown riff is.

Mikus "Don't Dilly Dally" takes you by surprise, then your hit by that riff and you have no choice, you must love them.

You are one of very few reactors with over 20k subs that are honest and sticking with bands that YOU really enjoy! It´s not about the clicks, views, likes or anything, i mean that´s important too, but other bands generate more clicks than Band-Maid, but you are always coming back to these fantastic ladies! Thank you for that, i am really dissapointed from other reactors because of that issue! I hope you will get well soon, your throat was really messed up. Best wishes from Germany, keep it up :) P.S.: That´s the reason you still earned my subscription, all the others i cancelled it, even if you are not reacting to them or things i don´t like...

Love when in the last chorus Miku sings alone for a second and Saiki enter somewhere late. Sounds so good.

Miku Kobato loves strawberry cakes & sweets. She once had a dream that she ate a giant marshmallow & woke to find her pillow was gone :)

It's rumoured that the norse god Thor is having a beef with them. He thinks they stole his thunder.

Miku's whisper is arguably my favorite part of this song! Every time I hear it, I think to myself "you had me at 'breaking new gate'!" I also love the "crowd chanting" bits. Not only for its audience participation moment to connect with the audience, but for it being used to let the tension rebuild after the solo so that last chorus can give you that full-on kick to the gut! Plus it allows the "least metal" aspect of the final crowd chant to become metal with the brutally heavy 16ths on the kick drum that perfectly complements what was, at first a juxtaposition. Kanami is truly a songwriting/arranging goddess!!!

I just might be tearing up because I feel like at 6:20 Kanami is channeling Randy Rhoads. Not JUST there either. Soooo nice to know that legacy is in such good hands.

BANDMAID is “Off the charts” AWESOME! They have more individual and collective talent than any other band I have ever heard! UNBELIEVABLE!

possibly my favorite song of BAND MAID..and deserves an award for best use of Dilly-Dally in a song

I like the mix on this concert, so STRONG! The spot light solo on Kamani is on of my favorite moments in all of Band Maid's concert videos! Misa, Misa, Misa! Akane is going crazy all thru this song! Siaki and Miku harmonize so well! The Pigeon is irresistible! Awesome song!

I am proud to say that i am a huge fan of this band. one of the things i love most in Band-Maid is that there is not one member that stands out. they all are essential for the band. You don't see that so often. this is so awesome. And last but not least. their talent is totally insane. Love Band-Maid

Back again to say I like watching Champ fanboy over BAND-MAID's composition. Always entertaining.

I capped Miku's intro and now it's my ring tone.

I've always felt like this is the perfect song to end a concert with. They didn't in this show, but still. I love this song.

Kanami For Ever, maybe nobody knows that almost 80% or almost all the songs composed by Kanami on the Piano, including the various passages, a genius, is absolutely one of the most versatile guitarists I've heard, well then MIsa stop Akane not words, Miku idem I love the voice and tone of Saiky ... simply fantastic to see and hear

Always look forward to your Band-Maid song analysis. 🤘🏽

Pause and talk all you want. That's why most of us come here. If I want to hear the song without interruption I'll go listen to it. BTW, did you actually miss Miku singing lead for part of the last verse? That's how good the two of them can blend their voices. Even Champ missed it.

Miku's bottom string sounds loose as hell in the breakdown and I love it.

Real Existence Live also has one or 2 good Miku whispers

saeki's one of the best vocalist i've ever heard live. it's like almost a recording.. her intonation is just so good live

My favorite part of that video is Saiki with both hands raised while the band is going nuts and the crowd is singing like she's summoning the chaos. Also, dunno if you noticed the lead-in at the end, but the next song was Puzzle :)

Right at 6:06 is when Kanami's power level maxes out and she gets possessed by the spirit of Dimebag. That breakdown and solo could easily have come off a Pantera album.

And they performed “Puzzle right after this song.

I decided to go live for the first time in 15 years. Budokan fun! Thank you so much for your fun reaction. By the way, I also like Miku. From an old Rockman from Japan

Every time I hear this song I rewind twice to hear Miku's whisper again, Uff I love how it start! Saludos capo!

Step by step to explain, let's understand more how to appreciate them. Thanks a lot 😁

MISA !!!!!! MISA!!!!!! MISA!!!!!!! I'm glad you got to review this hard to find song. So good. Awesome, our ladies made your wall of fame. 💯 🎤🎸🎸🎸🥁🇯🇵

See if you can react to Matchless Gum and Awkward and Daydreaming from this same show

My fav. Song from Band-Maid

I love the use of the backing track for this song. It really adds a lot to the *sound*, though it always looks just a little weird when you hear a whole chorus doing the 'oh oh oohs' towards the end of the song. Kanami's lead parts really make this song for me. I like going through it twice (kind of) to point out things. That's cool!

I thought the moratorium video was taken down. Glad it is back.

This was my very first ever band-maid live performance that I've watched. And I literally fell for them even more. And oh, the next song after moratorium is puzzle. Btw, have you checked dreamcatcher's halloween special? It's Boca K-Zombie Version. I think you'll love it. You should also react on that one.

Band-Maid gonna Band-Maid. You should buy their first-ever concert blu-ray, once you're done with the reacts from that February gig. (the concert is the same one from your react vids, but obviously more comprehensive with a more performances not on available on KZfaq).

Another great review and breakdown of these incredible ladies.

"Cuz why the hell not right? Cuz why not just be fucking awesome for 3 seconds before we continue being awesome?" :) First time watching your channel, reactors that pick their spots to pause and actually vocalize their thoughts are way better than the ones that just watch the vid say it's great and move onto number next, so yeah nice job.

By the way. For a while now there has been a torrent up of the 2017 Shinkiba concert. Their first concert video. It can be found with "LEXX BAND-MAID - Shinkiba Studio Coast (24.11.2017)" on lexx.impa.me server.

I am SO glad you were able to react to this version of this song. Easily my favorite overall song and performance as of now. Nice and greasy with places to land and take in the scenery. Also my favorite Kanami solo after Puzzle. You are definitely my favorite reactor for all the reasons everyone mentions, I literally check every day to see if you've posted a new Band Maid vid. Love it, love it! Please check out the Rinne MV when you get the chance.

Nice Moratorium my nambawan favorite! Lols you're having an eargasm with Mika's sexy voice.

My favorite live Band Maid song ever! So good. Better sounding vocals than the album version.

Band-Maid ASMR. A gentle whisper... Then an unrelenting hailstorm of sound right upside your head.

“This is the most metal I’ve heard of band maid.” FFS can you react to RINNE already???? Lol kidding at this point I don’t care what band maid song or video you react to. Whatever it is I’m watching ASAP. Seriously though, RINNE. Oh and also you heard right about the non Japanese parts. Another good example would be Endless Story

More more more band-maid

I knew you were gonna like this one. This one and Rinne are their most 'metal' tracks.

Hey Man! I am sorry to see you been under the weather. I love your new poster. Great reaction and enjoyed your thoughts throughout the song. I was chuckling with your comments about Miku whispering early on. Will chat at you later and get well soon Champ!

I gave you a thumbs up as soon as I saw that sweet poster. kinda jealous of it in fact. :)

That concert (Studio Coast 2017) is heavy rock in its purest form. All the songs... Great reaction

This is one of my top favorite Band-Maid songs and the one that I think captures almost all of the band's "elements": heavy crunching riffs, explosive bass/drums, melodic catchy chorus, audience sing-along, killer solo/breakdown section... and always with their signature change up for the second verse. Great reaction!

This song is one of their best! Your facial reactions say it all! Yeah, they are that perfect! Don't stop talking, some of us like to hear musicians break down why the parts sound so interesting and fresh.

2017 Shinkiba and 2018 Zepp Tokyo has one of the best mix to react to. At this point Miku has a pretty solid grasp of her rhythm and vocal in the band. Akane and Saiki on both channel...Micho on the right, Miku and MISA killing on the left channel. Some people like to use Miku as the scapegoat... But damn! Her rhythm section builds so much hype to let MISA and Kanami go loose.

Another great review and break down from The Champ. You'll be happy to know that, for me, you ruined all of the other reaction channels. I cannot watch other reactions to Band-Maid anymore after discovering you. Thanks for the great vid and please keep up the great work!

Did you catch that Saiki kept singing "Don't dilly dally." LOL Not sure where they found that expression. Cracks me up.

Number 1 female rockband in the world

Interesting that Kanami's lack of ego allowed her to see the fabulous talent of Akane and Misa and let them feature so heavily in the mix. As composer she has every opportunity to promote herself especially as she constantly riffs between solos but she gives them every opportunity to shine and they repay with fantastic support. Similarly she lets the beloved Saiki stand front and centre while she is always to the side and often in the shadows. Five musicians with god given ability who are prepared to give one another space.

Really enjoy when you react on Band-Maid! That detail explanation so great! Maybe next you want to react about Kobato Miku evolution? Thanks, Mr Champ!

You need to check out some of Band-Maid's ballads: Endless Story, Day Dreaming, Anemone, Wonderland (I don't remember if you already did this one or not). I'd also recommend Start Over. It's a pop song, and many fans don't like it simply because it's a pop song. But I think you'll like it. I do.

This live sounds ridiculously good. It's called Band Maid Shinkiba Studio Coast if you wanna look it up elsewhere. There used to be a lot of these videos on youtube but they all got taken down. This is also where the puzzle live video came from. You could hear the synth coming at the end of moratorium as it's the next song.

You gotta choose who you've fallen in love with: Miku, Saiki ou Aimer lol Love all of your videos!!!

Ah yes. Studio Coast version. I love this show. I wish they would re-release the entire concert.

Need you to react to YOLO. Need more reactions to this song.

Rinne has got to be their hardest and fastest song i really would like you to react to daydreaming for a change of pace

There is something about the bass sound on the fast parts here that really reminds me of Ace of Spades, Motörhead. It's such a bad-ass sound! Try The Dragon Cries for a real LedZep feel, bluesy, dark, heavy and just amazing!

Just really enjoy your reviews/reactions. Doing real good work dude, keep it up.

Good review, love how you deconstruct what you're hearing. Please do The Dragon Cries mv.

Very nice. Get well soon and don’t you dilly dally!

The moment 'don't dilly dally' became cool. Another favorite B-M song.

If you hear the end again when the synth comes in after the song you might recognize it as the intro to Puzzle. No rest between songs!

Nice breakdown. Stuff I never really "heard". Guess I need to watch more of yours.

Totally get it man, this is like pure Zeppelin (with just a touch of Sabbath in the breakdown ) and then the singalong, which is pure Band Maid. One of my ( many ) favourites ! Hope your throat gets better soon, great reaction as always !

Good review & analysis. “Moratorium” is one of my all time favorites. In this performance, at the end, you hear the synth intro to the next song which is “Puzzle” another amazing song that you should hear. Akane’s drumming (pedal work) is amazing.

Wonderful... take care and it’s nice to see and hear you again. If you ever find time to do it in the future, I hope you’ll have a listen to YOLO. I believe the song title doesn’t do it favors and hence the official video is criminally under-watched. I feel like it is an amazingly-written song. While my favourite band-Maid songs keep revolving, YOLO constantly remains in my top 3-5 all the time.

Heck yeah!!! That was awesome. Loving the breakdown, you bring so much out that I don't hear until you point it out. I've heard this song hundreds of times and the breakdown makes me appreciate these ladies more and more. Much props, no complaints from here about pausing.

Really glad that Band-Maid has made it onto your poster collection! Another excellent reaction and analysis! I'm going to add to the requests for "Daydreaming" (live from Zepp Tokyo 2018 if possible but the MV is still good) and "Rinne" (pick the MV as the only live version on KZfaq is shortened by over 1 minute for a TV promo) I hope your throat gets well soon!

Great breakdown analysis! You've got to do it for YOLO and Non Fiction Days. What would be great is for you to hear the song once (with only the necessary YT pauses) to get the full impact of the piece... and then a second time with the breakout comments.

The way you do your reactions is absolutely the best informative and that passion you have for band maid is massive and I agree completely thank you

The best musical analysis of their songs! Can't believe you haven't gotten around to Rinne MV. May I also suggest to put on your list, Non-fiction Days, and Glory.

Love your perspective. The music is sooooo good.

Great job as usual. I'm impressed with the level of detail you get in every song. Take care with that throat man.

Didnt notice certain things until you brought it up, kudos for your analysis and reaction!

Just want to say that hands down the best reactor I've watched man. Seriously great explanations, going back to re-listen, etc, just awesome. Normally don't commit on anything but just want to say thanks and keep them coming. Hope all is well.

Yo! Another BAND-MAID song! Thanks for another awesome video! As always, I need to comment how much I enjoy/appreciate your analysis/breakdown of their songs. I also really like this video how we basically watched the song twice! :D

Good enthusiastic reaction as usual with the much appreciated break down of the music. Thumbs up! Get well!

All of the YES! Been waiting for you to get to This one. This song punches you in the face in the best way possible. 👍

Missed your Bandmaid breakdowns man! get well soon! looking forward for more Bandmaid reactions!

Nice. Dude I've been wondering when Band-Maid was gonna get a poster on the wall.

Take Care Champ...... Thanks for the Awesome Review and Genuine Reaction!

Awesome as usual... The song and the reaction.
