It was worth it for unintentional comedic effect. :)

I know right. Who knew that Miku could sing? Get your shit together! haha. j/k mate. Love the channel!

No one is perfect! ぽ!

I assumed you knew it was Miku all the way up to when you said ... "is this Miku?"

All good champ , we are very thankful for your album reaction ❤️

beak me miku i deserve it

I knew right away it wasn't Saiki. Champ's got a one-track for lead guitar...so he was a bit distracted, maybe. He's usually really sharp! hehehe...he got it at 6:00...give or take...

@@StoneShards Can’t blame him. Kanami is always doing sneaky stuff in the back so it’s hard to resist the curiosity to find out what she’s upto.

That is exactly what I thought ! The whole point of this song is that Kanami made it for MIku. Poppy ? Yes, of course ! Poppyness is the essence of Miku ! ))

po

This! That's why this first solo is rather simple octave melodic playing - it is supposed to be played by Miku on stage. Love this song, it's another side of Band-Maid, they can do what they want.

If she plays this in the next online live I am going to lose my shit UPDATE: I did lose my shit. It pushed her comfort zone and her abilities, but she did it! I was screaming

That reminds me, I got paid today so I need to order my ticket for the show.

@@ronaldbowers2240 They anounced set list will be same as budokan's one. I don't know how many tunes from UW.

@@alxvdark it wouldn't surprise me she did Rock n Me in Dallas.

Actually is because is a really good song

We did not get it because it must not to be there. BRAND NEW MAID also missed Miku's song remember? it's their patern. and by that patern, next album we will still get Miku's song and then the next album it will not be there

@@lonewolfnomadic3403 That album is a bad example because it's only 8 songs which is particularly short for any sort of album. And ypu can't say that there's a pattern when only 2 of their 7 albums(not including Maiko) don't have one. They probably just didn't feel like it was necessary to have one on Conqueror.

@@Puyax01 Well no shit.

@@Airblade101 well that's not what you wrote

Po!

ill be honest i skip omajinai time (did i spell that right) everytime i watch their live dvd/concert, wont judge those who enjoy it tho, and i still love miku for putting the whole band together

@@fikriirshade1132 I find it's awesome when you're at the concert, I scream my head off every time, but I too struggle to watch it on video.

Not fan of the Moe Moe part, but the other stuff of Magic time is awesome. This is were they much interact with the crowd and have fun. Also I really like all Miku's solo songs.

@@fikriirshade1132 Yeah it's really a live show break, not the kind of thing you'd watch over and over.

I still prefer Time as my fav from Miku.

Agree with you but just wanna add... After the breakdown with the faded instruments and megaphone vocals, when they come back from that, Miku drops down real low to deliver the next line. Plus the guitars coming in all nasty like... Idk why but that part is so badass sounding to me.

Are you sure about this info? Honest question as I thought she was just working in a maid cafe before Band Maid.

YEEESSS😁 she was an idol before bandmaid. @airline secret has the link.

@@Yotanou Here’s a link to their most detailed interview/bio with individual sections for every member. www.reddit.com/r/BandMaid/comments/cbvlp7/translation_of_interview_for_bandmaids_future/ Here’s the relevant part from Miku’s section:- -I think it must have been quite shocking (to your mother) to have made all this preparation in secret. Even then, you were determined to move to Tokyo, right? M- Even right now, as was back then, I am the type who acts immediately once I decide I want to do something. Also, once I start on something, there is no stopping-po. Once I arrived in Tokyo, I started voice training lessons while doing part-time jobs just as I had told my mother in my "presentation". My part-time job was at a Maid Cafe where we had to sing and perform individually to customers, so it was also a good opportunity to practice singing-po. Also, since I was also working part-time at a Maid Cafe back when I was still in Kumamoto, I thought I should experience doing it in Akihabara, the Mecca of Maid Cafes in Japan, since I was in Tokyo . -While having the determination of pursuing music seriously, you still did not think about starting or being in a band, at that point in time, right? So, how was BAND-MAID formed? M- With the determination to pursue music seriously, I tried all sorts of experiences and got to know more and more people. Through these connections, I received an offer to participate in the formation of an "underground idol" [idol groups that do not have mainstream exposure] group-po. With that, I was active as an underground idol for about 1 year . But, while singing cute idol-type songs, I felt "No... this is not it"-po . I didn't hate it, but it was more like I realized that "this is different from the music that I aspire to do". So I quit being an underground idol after 1 year of activity and sent my resume to our current management with a request to do the type of music that I wanted to do. I received a reply of "let's meet up once to have a discussion". During the actual discussion, we talked about what I had done up until then, and I was asked "Are you interested in bands, or something similar?"-po. I replied "Well, I like bands, and I am admire Tokyo Jihen. Also, I prefer to do cool music rather than cute music. But, I also like maids." Then, they said "Combining a band and maids would be interesting." And I said "So, let's mix them together" . -The eventual result of what you sought was BAND-MAID, right? How did you find the members? M- Initially, I was supposed to be the lead vocal and I started looking for other members to fill out the band. The first member I found was Kanami through discovering performance videos she had uploaded to KZfaq. I contacted her through the management agency. Akane and then Misa joined after Kanami was recruited and completed the line-up quite smoothly-po. At that time, the agency had already prepared some songsand we started rehearsing immediately to prepare for a performance, but it just felt like there was something missing or not quite right. The idea of "Wouldn't it be interesting if we had another vocalist with a voice contrasting with Kobato's?" came up-po, and I personally thought that the band would shine more with twin-vocals-po. So, we contacted almost everyone managed by the agency to hold auditions. Finally, Saiki was recruited.

@@Dtagcity thanks for the info po

It sounds simple-r than rest of the album, because all the others are so full-on, but it's still very complex compared to their early stuff or other J-pop-rock bands.

Pigeon flying high ;)

🥃🥃🥃

I just saw the anime "Giovannis island" like 2 weeks ago for the first time and absolutely loved it. It's very deep and emotional. Didn't knew this song was related to it, but that's really awesome.

kekw

I think they pull back somewhat on the instrumentality because a) It's Miku's chance to shine and b) Miku's not quite as good at Saike at singing over the chaos. That said, I always really enjoy the Miku lead songs because they have a really fun energy, and this one's no exception to that, but they work best as the exception and one song per album.

Remi da me of beauty and the beast for some reason also

The guitar solo was written for Miku to play this live. You know what that means. It will be played live. Write this down.

@@Hadrian1616 Already bought my ticket for 2/11

Man Kanami is such a workaholic. I’d never want to be her superior in work coz I might end up embarrassing myself at some point trying to put her work down a notch, only to be slapped in the face by multiple project submissions and Plan Cs for Plan Bs, all in place. And the worst part would be her seemingly naive, enigmatic smile directed at me as I stand there lost for words. I’d probably be dead inside after going through that 😅

@@DtagcityWell, there is a good reason why Kanami is called Master Kanami, Kanami-sensei by the members.

a couple of japanese music site/interviewer do seriously mistook their voice 😂

@@fikriirshade1132 now come to think of it, actually their voice used to sound similar when they were more pop-punk oriented...

As a songwriter, Champ is focused more on that aspect of the music. Miku and Saiki's voices can be quite similar, and the strength and quality of Miku's vocals in this song is a little surprising.

Er what? It was never for even half a second a top group in Japan. It was a all-but-unknown underground idol group. But we’re all glad Miku found her calling after Lil Cumin.

There are also shades of Maid in Japan in this song.

Me too, thumbs dowm this video

sorry dude, cant all be winners

ikr, i was waiting for, keep waiting, bu it totally went over his head 😂, kinda make it funnier lol

I think i worked it out as an F#, so seriously high.

Same..I'm excited just thinking of being able to see this performed on the upcoming okyuji 😍

I think you can 100% count on this song making the set list for the Feb 11 online okyu-ji. :)

On my first listen I just started giggling when the first riff kicked in... knew I was in for a ride, was not disappointed. Kinda my whole reaction to the entire album on first listen... I was just giggling the entire time from my brain being melted.

yeah, its up their with Beauty and the Beast in terms of heaviness

Same. Time was unseated as undisputed best Miku song by this masterpiece.

Beauty and the Beast though?
