Dude, laughing my ass off watching you try to decide where to pause at!🤣 It’s really hard to follow the YT rules during Play. And your instincts were spot on- Play was originally an instrumental but they loved it so much once it came together, Miku quickly penned some catchy crowd style lyrics to finish the studio work for the release.💪🏻🤘🏻 Edit: BTW, I recognize that Russian Chick Angst Pop playing in your background- nice one! And I’m not afraid of K-Pop either. G-idle is about as artistic and creative as it gets- totally self producing group that writes their own songs. Check em out!💪🏻🤘🏻

A little story if you don't mind... For me BLACKPINK & BAND-MAID will be forever linked. I'm a huge BLINK since debut, (8/8/16), I'm also from the states like you I happen to be In Bangkok last July to catch one of the last 3 shows, (day 2), of the BP world tour. After the show we went to a tap house for some drinks and Band Maid's Dice M/V came on. I've been hooked on these amazingly talented ladies ever since. Yes, BLACKPINK concert, and discovered BAND-MAID on the same day. It was a good day.

This is a nice version, but the one at Studio Coast in Shinkiba (2017) with Misa's intro solo is FAR BETTER. It's a shame that nowadays you can only watch it through other youtubers reactions.

Band Maid is awesome. Their music is so riff heavy, I love it. Great to see Miku’s progress especially because she couldn’t play guitar before forming the band. But if you want to talk about Crazy, this just popped up in my recommended list. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/odibZqh6lq6tZH0.html. Another all girl j-pop band called Gacharic Spin. I just don’t know what to make of it.

Domination level: asian. ;o)

that got me a good laugh.

Perfect quate on a t-shirt!

To be honest I can just imagine that Nissan GT-R Black and White with the Badass Band-Maid logo ribbon all over the car.

@@Puyax01 Maybe a Miffi sticker as well

I think more like cute little stock looking Kei car with HP corvette engine mounted in place of rear seat.

@@JamesMartin-ci2fq the only cute thing would be the car key chain. That might be a hello kitty thing. Hehe

@@Puyax01 agreed.

"How can anyone not love this band??" well, you'd be surprised. i was watching another reactor reacting to a bandmaid song and someone commented how 'like all their live performances are bad. they always play out of tune.' then again, it's youtube...so maybe you wouldn't be surprised...lol. but i would agree with you, 100%. musically they are great, and performance wise they are great and entertaining on top of it, and as you said, have a great time doing it. which i think is an underrated aspect of some bands these days. but maybe that's just me.

@@kanamimoa4604 dont worry..if they were the only one who says that band maid's performances are out of tune...they are the ones that are tone deaf 😆

@@kanamimoa4604 They don't realize that they use off-tune sound deliberately to make it sound interesting. Sonic youth did it a lot, and put many people off but I loved them. I love everything grungy, proggy or experimental.

Really they just feel next level, and Kanami is a rare talent, composing is hard yet her output is incredible, they lucked into a really great place as a band and as artists.

Exactly my story. All hail BandMaid!

I'm also hearing shut up every time, but actually it's "shout out"

@@bastiknolle5155 No... You did not understand me... I know that, but i told to myself SHUT UP, because i couldn´t believe it´s just the intro for PLAY :)

They also give Buble an amazing intro

I always prefer reactions from musicians. I need more than just "OMG! This band is cool!"

Just our Boss Pigeon doing Boss things!

NICE love the play n words i vote new nick name bird of play you rock got anything for kanami (i hope) take tour time ill waitbe well

If Band-Maid ever got divorced I'm pretty sure Miku would get custody of the kids, she does so much supporting role work.

Can confirm they played it in Dallas at least, was an awesome show. When I heard them start into it on the Blu-Ray it got me really excited that we got the sneak peek!

The zepp Tokyo version doesn't have extended intro. That was the sinkaba studio coast.

@@monke-mk5 You're right! Thanks.

That's awesome, I didn't know it. Thanks

You are welcome from Japan

Shibukō is an abbreviation of Shibuya Kōkaidō or Shibuya Public Hall, the name of the venue. It has nothing to do with ruffians.

Miku screaming “Sing!” at 10:08. Like throwing gasoline on a bonfire. At first I wondered where it came from - it was so unexpected. You could tell she was really into it. She really has evolved.

@@joblow71 no, it was actually "SAY!" she uses "say!" in her omajinai-times a lot, by just adding it to her shoutouts to signal the audience that it's their turn to repeat. sometimes it doesn't work as it should as the audience literally repeats the "say" in their response... which makes Miku herself giggle, so she just keeps adding it just for the joke of it the transcript to their live-chat (stay-home quarantine chatting/q&a with fans) after the show is here www.reddit.com/r/BandMaid/comments/ggrgnz/bandmaid_remote_live_talk_show_on_april_30_2020/ them talking about that "SAY!" part is from 16:20 mark on Miku has been solid on the guitar for quite a while now. Since 2017 pretty much loud enough in the mix. The difference between 2017 - 2018 and 2019 is very very noticeable. It just takes Kanami some time to rewrite parts of their older songs to feature the rhythm-g more, adding extra nuances to the lead-g, or she writes an extra intro like here. The mix on this DVD isn't the best sadly, as you can't hear both of the guitars clearly at all times. Sometimes you can, sometimes they are drowned somewhere... honestly, my take on it is as follows: if you watch the full dvd, and are somewhat familiar with their performances in smaller venues (fancams or actually being there in person), miku and saiki are both much much more relaxed there. On these official dvd concerts, you can see them both really trying to appear more professional. Miku is much more playful in smaller venues. Here she tries her best to be a pro and not to fail or miss a note or something. They also debuted most of the "Conqueror" stuff live here, so they haven't played a lot of it that often before, which also means a lot of extra pressure. That last song on that dvd is just absolutely beautiful (also) BECAUSE of that - both Miku and Saiki "made it through" and they show it... Kanami is always happy-face, Akane is nervous at first but as soon as she sits down, she goes bananas, and with MISA you couldn't tell anyway if she feels the pressure... Miku also isn't that playful on the "Zepp Tokyo" dvd, much more focused as on the smaller gigs. "Real Existence" f.e. on that is an exception (they played it numerous times before and had it in their blood at that time).

@@w.b.562 I wonder if Kanami was in an RF dead zone of sorts that was screwing with the reception from the wireless on her guitar. You notice on the one video from this live show (maybe Freedom?, I can't remember), that you can't hear Kanami at one point, but her guitar comes back better when she walks over to where Miku is. They try to iron all that out at soundcheck, but maybe the receiver started to fail.

@@joblow71 yes, I can't tell either. Maybe a wireless issue, maybe it's just from the style this was recorded, using the mics from the venue itself, instead from their boards directly, I don't know. Fact is, the mix in parts isn't the best (as good as the solo part in "Domination" was f.e. - you couldn't hear Mikus guitar nearly at all, and if you hear that they were going for - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rbqEdK5mqNmcaWQ.html - it's just...). It was much better in their online-show if you go just for the instruments. Vocally the DVD was better. Let's see how the next one this weekend turns out... well... I won't be disappointed anyway :D (judging by the previous one)

​@@w.b.562 I just watched it again - It was at about 1:33 Kanami's guitar vanishes from the mix for about 15 seconds until she walks over to Miku.

Then they closed it with Endless Story, which is a stadium anthem if I ever heard one.....

You are right, is Kanami. Unbelievable.

Thrilled....heh I see what you did there

I believe Kanami is playing wither guitar run through a ring tone generator or some kind of Midi synth.

I think the vocals were better in the other video version. In this one they were playing around on stage and with the audience a bit more and it took a bit away from the vocal work.

Let me second that Screaming selection. It rocks. And an older cover of MUCC'S Honey has a killer bass line. Best regards.

@@sacluvsBM Honey is a crazy little tune as well!

And they nailed it live.

They played Screaming on the last livestream.

Roughly 2,200 people fits into Line Cube Shibuya (the venue), and I think it was full house.

@@imrekalman9044 Oh i didnt know

@@sheldoncooper8199 You were still correct. 😉

It was originally.

Definitely the 2017 Studio Coast version.

Yes, the most famous 'intro' of "Play" is from the Shinkiba Studio Coast show in 2017. I have the blu-ray disc. Zepp Tokyo from 2018 did not have a long intro.

I went back and listened to it...I agree, it's even better. Plus in the mix you can hear all the instruments and everything Kanami is playing very clearly.

@@alxvdark ahhh, you got the extended archive? I'm so jealous! I would die to hear it again. and for real, the audio mixing of that show was something else 💖 cant wait for sunday!

@paco acosta I was referring to the first one! if you have the second one from august I would LOVEEEE to have it if you dont mind!!

@paco acostaon my channel?

@paco acosta you are a godsend, thank you so much!!!!

they did use the same intro in the online show! I'm sure about this! "Play" sounded better in the live online show - the mix was better! but obviously no crowd responses...

W. B. Yes they did. Bad memory. I edited it already A minute after I posted the original.

@@weilima9316 yeah, it's okay. reading my answer again, it sounds so "aggressive" :/ sorry :D i always look for these little Miku-parts, so I was damn sure they did the same intro in the online show. It sounded better, but she didn't have the cool stance as here :D

Dam straight.
