I wouldn't say commercial, it's more like they are executing the hard rock genre very well. To me, Band-Maid relates back to the hard rock bands of the 70's with some 70's new wave and a bit of punk thrown in. You don't find this kind of driving rock and roll very much anymore, which is why it appeals to me, being the music I used to listen to as a teenager.

Love Band Maid, they rock 🤘🤘

In the 60s & 70s songs were commonly 3 minutes. Band Maid creates great songs in the 4 minute range. This song emphasizes Saiki’s vocals and Miku’s beautiful harmonizing vocals. Kanami’s guitar work is amazing. When she’s not carrying the song with a solid hook and a shredding solo, she’s does subtle meandering chord work and riffing reminiscent of the Edge and Alex Lifeson. This is one of my very favorite Band Maid songs.

Killer vocals every time I listen to a song I haven't heard much it becomes a favorite/

I guess everything has a formula, right? The Chevy formula. The NFL formula. The YT Reactor’s formula. How about saying, the Band-Maid “sound” or “style”. Band-Maid’s sound is like none other. Same for each individual player. But if you want different genre-specific music within their sound or style, try: [Hard Rock] - Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Glory or Choose Me… or powerful, beautifully written [slower tunes] -- Daydreaming, Anemone and Smile... or more [punky] -- Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or [funky] -- Bubble… or [poppy] -- Start Over… or [cultural] -- Band-Maiko! In any case, I highly recommend using headsets set to “Stun” because this group rocks, again... like none other!

"Onset" is pure instrumental. Yes. they have a formula but they do like to mix it up. Their new "endless Story" is more poppy but it is intended as an audience sing along. To quote Kanami, an "arena" song. Planning for the future. In fan videos from their recent Europe tour you will see Saiki teaching the audience the lyrics to sing along (the song was not yet released) . It is kind of a Japanese thing to have audience participation. At the same time they have added a guitar solo as a new intro to their song "Moratorium". And if you listen to their live songs and compare them to the album versions you will find they are tweaking the songs. They've done this same song "Puzzle" as an acoustic song with just Saiki and Kanami on acoustic guitar and doing backup vocals. And then there is their April Fool's joke that has taken in a life of its own, Band-Maiko, where they dress up as geishas and mix in some traditional Japanese instruments with their usual instruments.

7:21 i'm like that going back n listening to songs of theirs i've already heard over n over again

This is my favorite song and arrangement of Band Maid --until the next one🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Another BANGER! Band Maid has the BEST rhythm section on the planet.

Saiki-san definitely in my top three female fronts worldwide...love her vocals, especially after the surgery... Wanna be blown away by her vocals? Do the acoustic version of this song! Live version...

Best Japanese Metal all female band. Huge chops with Misa on bass, Akane on lead guitar. How can you not love these ladies?

This song is a BM masterpiece composed by Kanami and lyrics plus main vocal arrangements by Miku with some input from Saiki. The song is called Puzzle because of its lyrics, but also because of its composition. This song would likely have been even more progressive if the label wouldn't have limited its length.

I wish so much that BAND-MAID would "Freebird" this and extend it to 15 minutes. Give Saiki a break and let the other 4 girls absolutely tear it up.

Miku (rhythm) does most of backup and sometimes lead vocals. Kanami (lead g) does backup vocals sometimes. Misa (bass) and Akane (drums) do not sing. Just a reminder. Saiki (lead vocal) - say like pshychi Miku (rhythm g and backup vocal) Kanami (lead g) Misa (bass) Akane (drums)

Hey guys, for something different you should do Puzzle acoustic live, which includes a song called Anemone. It is only Kanami the guitarist and Saiki the vocalist. Also the instrumental Onset is great as many have suggested.

Miku Kobato (small pidgeon) is the backup vocalist, rhythm guitarist and band founder. Don't label these fine ladies. They defy it.

Huge thanks for turning me on to this band! I am 63 yrs old and still bangn. Have you guys ever hear of Leo Moracchioli ? This guy is a mad genius ,He is from Norway covers songs in his style/plays all the instruments. The song is Zombie cover of Cranberries/ Metal version it has over 30 million views! Went to my play list

Way to go is live.Band maid never disapoint.

I still haven't found a single bad song by this band.

this performance is from the Shinkiba Studio Coast performance from end of 2017.. released as a DVD/Bluray, it's got the best audio imo. the other major live DVD/Bluray is from Zepp Tokyo 2018. i agree that BAND-MAID's got a rather commercial sound to em.. but that's totally fine, coz what they put out is so damn good, and it never comes across as feeling contrived. they've got an effortless mish-mash of different sounds.. the catchy hook from pop music being one of their strongest assets imo. even if they rarely deviate from a standard song structure, their songs are filled with so much quality musicianship that it's easy for me to look past that kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hJ1yhKacusiYg30.html Moratorium's another heavy hitter.. it actually comes right before Puzzle at this show

They compose their music and play it themselves. It's good to see young girls who dedicate to what they want to do. Whatever people lable them, they shouldn't care about it. They may not be the best, actually the best band to me so far is Dream State from South Wales, but I want to see their growth as a big fan from their debut.

Great video guys 👍

Thanks guys!

The only real pattern I have been able to detect is that they don't like to do the same thing twice, even within a song. Each verse and chorus has something different about it, and they throw in tempo and mood changes at random.

sooo good....

you guys should listen to this song again with a headphone

🤘🤘❤️🤘🤘 Oh yeah!!! These ladies are Fan-freakin-tastic!!! 🤘🤘

More Band-Maid Doc! Misaiki kuruppo!

I think you have to buy a CD with bounus DVD direct from Japan to get a live concert. The cost is worth it. CDs in Japan are more costly than the UK and, I am guessing the States. Pity you are not going to the September concerts in the States. You will find fans flying from all over. It is one of the great way to meet new friends. Met some Japanese fans who came for the London gig. One reason is the meet and greet, as this might not happen in Japan with Band Maid now (?).

Great reaction, these girls won't let you down, now listen to "Don't let me down" LOL - there's some English in this song so listen closely

Band-Maid is currently on their US tour and played at Aftershock this year which was epic!! They are 100% on their game right now as even the fancams are brilliant. Garage shows basically arn't supposed to be this good. This is a A level band deserving of a proper arena tour. Akane is seriously next level as her drum solos are giving me chills. See them live as that is where they shine here. Hope they finally start to get some recognition now to good to pass up here!! Good reaction BTW!! 🤘

Why are you guys not reacting to new Bandmaid song ”Different” just came out？

With 75 songs published since 2013 you are going to find a lot of style and diversity in Band-Maid's music obviously. That's not a bad thing. Would you know Helter Skelter and Yesterday were both done by the Beatles if you did not know both songs were done by the Beatles? l doubt it. See some of you at the Echoplex in LA Sept. 30th.

MIKU! MIKU! MIKU!

Hey dudes, I like your reviews, Could I give you a suggestion from Australia, please give a look at “Twelve Foot Ninja” it’ll be right up your alley, their songs are epic to say the least, a few suggestions are “Coming For You “. or “One Hand Killing” or “Mother Sky”

5:39 you know, máster.

You guys should react to Ningen Isu => Heartless sact

next Bubble Reaction

Check out “bloodshedd” title song beast 696 , Thank you guys

Her voice 😌

1:20. Cookie cutter, I don't see it. They play great rock and roll. If that is cookie cutter, I am with it. I grew up with rock and roll and this is no more cookie cutter than that music. At the least, Band Maid is putting out really good music. I can't wait for January of 2021.

I have been in bands for 50 years and anybody who complains about commercialization of music either has a lucky hit or is starving and hasn't hit on a formula yet.

the guy in the middle could not look more unhappy lol ...

auto like

They have produced two blu-ray concert DVDs. Most all of the pro-shot live videos on YT have been ripped from these two-hour shows. The middle guy had to be sure and make the cookie-cutter comment right up front, yes? Tell me, and please go into detail, what aspect of this song has cookie-cutter qualities? The drums, the bass, the guitar work? Perhaps it's the lyrics Miku wrote, or the composition that Kanami and the rest of the band provided. As for being commercial, maybe they should make unmelodious music just to show how edgy they are, right?

Misa, the barefoot assassin

Please react to the BAND-MAID Acoustical: *Puzzle (Acoustic)* kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rsqngdCr15PNoJ8.html _(What Is This Salty Discharge?)_ *Anemone (Acoustic)* kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9-jhpR9vZbem2Q.html _(Is Somebody Chopping Onions in Here?)_ Thanks and enjoy your reaction as always.

Great reaction guys. These girls never disapoint. Next you should do a official video. DONT LET ME DOWN. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zr93qriZzJi8fp8.html

Once again the Maid's lay waste to a venue

Onset, instrumental. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q8pgo9t6rpm9p4E.html

request drop's 「赤いブルーズ」 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/otmIgs13l5bOdpc.html

Two negative votes. Who knew Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift watched KZfaq?

Their live shows are damaging

Not bad musicians, but I'm a snob when it comes to female vocalists and she's not one I would listen to. She does have power in her voice but that's not everything. Sorry not sorry.
