The song is filled to the brim with details. You can tell that it belongs to that group of songs dedicated to anime or television, it reminds me a lot when they released Glory, Sense or Shambles. Of course, as a leitmotiv, it will help them make a name for themselves within the music designed for that market. From this song I especially like Kanami's solo, that Soul oasis in the raging sea. Thanks Howard! You are the fastest reactor west of the Pecos River.

I'm sure the Anime "Grendizer U" Ending is happy to have this great song! As always, such a well written, played catchy song from Band Maid

Akane's drums really stand out!

This was supposed to be a theme song for an anime aimed at the French market. Hence, "La la la la".

Mincho and Misa are supposedly debuting their signature guitars in this one.

THIS....is Band-Maid.

KANAMI!!!!!

Ouh là là, Band-Maid! Thx, Howard!

This song is so catchy and yet so experimental! Love where Saiki goes falsetto with Islamic flavour, the little Koto or Sitar part after the first chorus, One of my favourite solos by Kanami and the final assault from the Band-Maid gang and what a finish! Some people may say it sounds like any other Band-Maid anime songs but it has the splash of middle eastern spice. Love it so much 😍

I totally agree with your conclusion 👍

Hey! Have you explained somewhere why Bubble is your favourite? It's off topic, so don't explain here. I'm really interested. That's a cool fav. 🙂 I want to know why!

🤘🤘🤘

I didn't hear very well ( on the phone with background noise) but I heard little bits from a lot of different Band-Maid songs. It's gonna be good live.

Imho the "Oo lalala" would've gotten old fast if used for more than the bookends. In fact I think it would have been better to only have three repetitions instead of four at the beginning, with the added bonus of being a classic Band-Maid timing twist. But after a week to wrap my head around it, I really like the song.

9:11 under 8 seconds. You should be good

I have to say, I'm at a bit of a loss with Band-Maid. I love them dearly, but I can't say I've really enjoyed anything they've done since Unseen World, and that was three and a half years ago now. It's actually quite a shock to realise that all they've put out since then is one mini-album and a handful of singles. I do think Protect You was a little better. It did make me think it merits a few more listens, which is usually a good sign of a song being a 'grower' for me, even if it does still, yet again, have that 'tinny' guitar sound which I'm not keen on. I live in hope that they can get back to a 'meatier' sound, if only for a few songs, on the next album - presuming there will be one.
