I'm a newbie Band-Maid fan and have been following them a couple of months now. Got hooked on the first song I heard Warning then Manners. Bought their latest album Unseen World and it blew me away. I checked out your reactions on Band-Maid and followed you ever since. Getting to know the ladies and their older songs plus watching your reaction videos really gave me joy. I also read the comments of Maidiacs and the love the fans have for these amazingly talented ladies just overwhelmed me. I now believe rock is still alive..........with Band-Maid and the Madiacs at the forefront.

Seeing them live, it was hard to take my eyes of any of them. But because Saiki presence, voice and movements were so compelling, drawing in my attention until I had to see what she was doing, I came back to her performance again and again. Band-Maid has powerful synergy as a band. But Saiki knows she's the one who must - and can - focus the experience to a laser-hot pinpoint. And after her verse or chorus delivery, she releases you to allow the others the spotlight -- a selfless characteristic and mark of the perfect frontwoman for an ensemble of strong, equal talent. The Band gels because of their unique individuality, love and respect for each other. Band-Maid is a joy to behold! Thx again, Ryan!

True story, MISA's not the only one barefoot on stage during this song. At 3:46 in your video when Saiki strolls across the front of the stage will ALWAYS be one of my favorite Saiki moments. So much confidence and power in that walk. Now, remember, she's barefoot at this point after having taken her heels off to go down to the front of the women's section at the venue in the previous song, Freedom... which you MUST find a live version of to watch. Absolutely emotional. In my opinion it was this tour-end okyu-ji during which Saiki leveled up her stage commanding presence. This is arguably one of my favorite shows from any band. The mix is awesome, the band is TIIIIIIGHT throughout, and the set list is FIRE! And yes, that is MISA playing the melody in the second verse, one of the reasons why Saiki calls her over. Now, the really important question... what is more valuable? A smile from Saiki or a smile from MISA? Both are rarer than gold and worth at least twice as much and in this video we get BOTH! ;)

the truth isn't as much fun as the myth but it should be told. you are correct in saying Saiki "removed" her shoes before going down to lean into the womans section.

Another great reaction Ryan! This being one of their earlier songs, they didn't write it, but from this live performance you can see how much they've progressed and have changed it up to make it their own. Saiki early on said that this song was the best representation of BAND-MAID. I enjoy it more when she sings in her lower register like when she does live than often in the recordings. In an interview I read, she said for the recordings, she usually sings the song with neutral emotion, but in the lives, you can tell she sings more with emotion and that engages the audience more. Again, one of those things that this band tries to do for their live "servings" that their fans will appreciate. She has really developed her stage presence so much. In another interview, the interviewer asked how she felt about being the "face of the band" and having the spotlight, because she is the lead vocal. She said she doesn't like it, and that Miku is there. She would much rather just sing. But there's no avoiding it. This band loves to share the spotlight though, and you'll see Saiki disappear into the background or even crouch off to the side of the stage at times when the instrumentalists are being featured. Her stage persona is just so cool, like the way she uses very rough, masculine phrases to pump up the crowd. It's such a huge contrast to the real Saiki who is quiet and reserved, and doesn't have many friends, loves sneakers and trains (yes she is a legit train geek).

Yes that was MISA playing the high part. You can see her doing it in the OMV. That's not to say it isn't Doubled in the Backing Tracks. It is neigh on impossible to tell what's in there unless something breaks down, aside from something obvious, like synth parts, effects or extra vocal parts. It really the only way they can get as close to the studio versions as they do.

Here are some more ideas for your next vids; 'Glory', 'Yolo', 'Non-fiction days' and I don't know if you've done 'Don't you tell me' yet but I'm pretty sure there's at least one you haven't had a listen yet.

This is the best band-maid song that isn't written by mincho imo. The driving drum, the groove and the change ups and structure... this song has the most mincho-like sound that's not written by her! Another great reaction. Your facial expression tells me, "what else can I say that I haven't said already, it goes without saying that this is a cool song, but I'll listen to this again anyway cos I like it." Fine by me. 😁 Bandmaid has topped all my past flames including Lenny Kravitz, Sade and Bad Brains and Joe Satriani...(rock, jazz/r'n'b, hardcore punk, guitar instrumental). I have other favorite bands but listen to them less and less these days, and you must know what I mean. Not many artists released 3 albums that you can listen to everyday without skipping a single song. Even songs that I don't love, have at least one strong hook that makes me happy!

I have had a few people point out that the Maids did have input and were afforded changes to the provided material. Proving that they could tweak a given song to make it their own.

@@RyanMear They selected the songs as well from submissions, they weren't just handed them and told what to do. In one interview Miku emphasizes that they feel connection to those old songs because they were still involved with them. Real Existence is a perfect example of a song that obviously is one that they learned from and was a vital part of their own songwriting education. It's got much in common structure wise with later works. They even went back and collaborated with their external writers even on later albums when they felt they needed a different point of view and to help ensure that they didn't get stuck in their own ruts. It's clear from interviews that they consider the outside songwriters vital to their own musical growth. Especially Kentaro Akatsu who wrote Thrill and who they even co-wrote "Fate" and "Turn Me On" with on the World Domination album, both of which are great songs. You should do a listening party on World Domination, that album is loaded with great stuff. Besides all that, New Beginnings just has some straight up great rock songs on it. Not as progressive as later stuff, obviously, but still very good. I'm particularly fond of "FREEZER". The writers and composers they worked with were very good.

Saiki’s a vocal monster. She has to be because Miku writes lyrics with no forethought for little things like breathing.😄💪🏻🤘🏻

I hear you. そうなんですよね。Ryanさんの言うとおりKanamの演奏は独創的でShe does not remind me of any other guitarists.ライブでも常にアグレッシブなアプローチでトチっちゃうこともあるけどそれが魅力であり、逆に単調な高速フレーズを正確に奏でるギタリストよりも聞き応えがあります!

*translation* I hear you. that's correct Ryan. Just like you said, Kanami playing has her own sound. Even though sometimes she plays too aggressively in the LIVEs, it still comes out great. On the other hand its easier to listen to Kanami when she is simply playing speedy phrases accurately(than other guitarists).

translation theres a shit ton of good guitarists, and even shit ton who play uber fast. I've been listening to rock for a few decades, and can tell you there are no other guitarists like Kanami, who is so full of talent and can play cool phrases! I'm sure you feel the same way right Ryan-san?

Three of Band-Maids CDs has the song Real Existence on it; therefore is this song their go to song?
