This band has progressed over the last 10 years to become the best current rock band on the planet. The writing is impeccable and the musicianship is second to none. Over 130 plus songs and not a bad one in there !!!!! Check out a live performance....it's where this band really shines.....PLAY LIVE is killer !!!!!!

Thanks for checking out our Maids! 🍸🥸🤘🏻

Welcome to Band-Maid! The best hard rock band I have heard in my 58 years on this planet. They don't stick to any one genre and often mix genres in songs. They are extremely diverse and have an extensive back catalogue featuring Punk, Pop-Punk, Hard-Rock, Classic Rock, Metal, Prog, Blues, Jazz, Groove, Rap etc. From face melting 220 bpm punk-prog to ballads, instrumentals to acoustics they do it all. They can make you headbang, they can make you pogo, they can make you cry like a baby. They are also five of the nicest people in music, without a shred of ego. They are funny and fun and world class musicians to boot. They are currently into their 11th year with the original line up.

Roger is the recommend master! Five Japanese ladies that will rock your musical world! Ten years in and only getting better with every song! "Hate?", "Moratorium", "Play", "Domination"(live), "Turn Me On" are good starting points for this amazing band!

They are rock and roll guardian angels and the best hard rock band on this planet🤘Keep an eye on them!!

That would, of course, be Roger Chance, who is only second to Santa Claus when it comes to spreading happiness throughout the world. Welcome to The Maidiacs and the wonderful world of BAND-MAID! Thanks for the great reaction! 🤘🤩🤘

Oh, you don’t have to search for the name. We all know Grand Maid Ambassador Chance. Welcome to the world of the Maid 🌎 ❤ Quick update as I’m not seeing any recommendations for a follow up. Based on your reaction and comments, I really think you should see how the Maids “handle their instruments” in a live performance. That’s what sets the great apart from the rest. “Play,” official live is a cool place to start. There’s a bit of an instrumental intro so you’ll get a sense of how they lay down a groove 👍🏽

Robert Chance AKA Guess Who 🍺🍻 😛

Roger strikes again! Glad you liked them. They have subtitles on their newer releases.

New subscriber here! Thanks for reacting to our MAIDS, Jess! It’s ROGER Chance. The MAIDIACS know him well. He is a legend in BAND-MAID circles. Dozens of great BAND-MAID songs to choose from, but here’s a few to consider: Something more bluesy: Manners Hard rock: Dice, Shambles, Don’t you tell me Live performances: Domination (live), Hate? (live at Yokohama) Shredding instrumentals: from now on (mv), Onset (live) Rock with some really cool added Japanese culture: Secret Maiko Lips (you may want to spend 3-4 minutes googling “Maiko” for a full perspective on this one.) And Thrill - A no frills rocker - their first music video - the video that literally saved the band! More BAND-MAID please!

I'm so glad that big wind turbine is nearby so they can plug their instruments and amps into it.

I'm learning Japanese on Duolingo.... because of Band-Maid. ありがと ございます for the great reaction, Jess! Can we call you Jess? Love that you started with Non-fiction Days, it's one of my 100 favorite Band-Maid songs!

Wait until you hear Band-Maid with headphones, Jess! {[-!-]}

Welcome to Band-Maid. A lot of their newer songs have subtitles. live they're killer, but don't skip their MV's like Shambles, Dice, After Life, Warning, Cross, Wonderland or Blooming. Or the song that maid me a Maidiac: Secret My Lips. And also give their alter ego, Band Maiko, a listen.

Keep the Band Maid coming and I'll see you again.

Jessflix , Welcome to BAND-MAID , Enjoy your journey down the Pigeon hole , MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! the Barefoot Bass Assassin , next song Domination (official live ) .

Yay JMATAB gets a shout out for BAND-MAID. Roger that :)

Thanks for the reaction and comments. Roger Chance?! At this point, I think he is Band-Maid's unofficial ambassador on KZfaq. These five ladies are arguably the best live rock band on the planet and certainly the most likeable. Their massive catalogue of outrageously good songs is quite impressive.. But don't take my word for it, check them out for yourself. I suggest Moratorium (live), Play!, or Hate? (both official live videos) next Cheers!

In my opinion, BAND-MAID is a group of five of the best female musicians in modern rock music. It was founded by Miku Kobato, the rhythm guitarist and lyricist of red rose. Please give more BAND-MAID reactions. Next, I recommend From Now On and HATE? live. Both songs are recent favorites among fans. I think you'll probably like it.

You might forget the fella that recommended it but I call him "The 6th Maid". He's a Champ. Check em out live - that's where they are at their best. "Hate" official live is the go to clip but after that, pick anything .. you won't be disappointed. 120 plus songs in their catalogue and you will find it hard to find an ordinary one. Greatest Hard Rock Band on the planet ... by far. IF you do "Hate", the subtitles are a must ... you'll see what I mean. New Subby from Aust.

👍Not use to being the first poster to a BAND-MAID reaction. BAND-MAID is an awesome band. Great performance. 🖖❤

Robert is possibly responsible for more introductions than anyone else - good work, lad! 👍😎😄

I can't believe Roger didn't request "HATE?" Official Live and btw where is he ! HATE is a newer Band-Maid song that has the lyrics and i bet you understand the message =) The Non-Fiction Days was my favorite Band-Maid song at first . They used it as the closing song and It did make Band-Maids Great Hits Vol.2 CD . Thanks Jess stick with The Maids they are so much better now ✌🤘

If you want to be blown away by their latest, listen to their MV for “From now on”.

*Welcome to BAND MAID!* 🤘🕊🤘

Cool thing about band maid, is you can put ALL their music on shuffle on your playlist, and 9 out of every 10 is a good tune👍

The Chancellor. Gone, but not gone (hopefully).

Jess, That scenes for "The Non-Fiction Days" were set on a windswept beach in Japan in the Winter. It was brutally cold. While the Maids wore their skimpy maid costumes for the video shoots, there are behind the scenes photos of them huddled up in full-length insulated coats between takes. These five petite young Japanese females are "TROOPERS". They will bear whatever burden and do whatever it takes to shoot their officlal music videos and get their music out. Two music videos that come to mind are "Warning" and "Influencer".

If you got time. Check out their LIVE MV. Thanks 4 reaction and WELCOME 🤗.🔥👍🤟

Great reaction,This MV is a few years old but still a banger,in the last few years all songs now have CC ,but you will find out that they have english lyrics all over most songs,,,Check out one of thier new live vids,,it has CC,,,Hate live at Yokahama 2023,it is crazy how good these ladies are,prepare to be blown away,enjoy.

They are a top quality band- each and every member. There is plenty in their music for most rock fans, plus the quirky and unexpended things they add especially during live videos. Domination Live Music Video is the usual go to for new fans but to hear their full range there is the double Live Music Video for Manners and Black Hole. Welcome to the wonderful world of the ladies who are Band-Maid and their fans (Maidiacs), they/we are as one.

Best band on the planet 🔥🔥🔥🔥🎎🤘🎎🤘

NEW SUB HERE! You go right ahead man! Welcome to the BandMaid experience. The greatest proper rock and roll band of the 21st century. Here's some opinions and facts: •Bass solos are more likely to happen than not •Guitar solos are shorter, far shorter, than you would like them to be •Unless you are superhuman you will not/cannot be able to pick up everything they're doing to make that song great on the first listen. •Genre? Genres?? We don' need no stinkin" genre! •Youl like a rocking crazy fast tune? Well how about it done as a slower acoustic version? •April Fools Day 2019 As a joke they record a redo of Secret my Lips with traditional instruments and with lyrics in a Kyoto dialect. MV is stunningly beautiful. •The linchpin member of the band gets the least notice/praise. The Mighty Miku Kobato-founder/lead singer steps back to make way for a new more rock vocalist. They want her to hold a guitar so she does and learns to play on the fly, performing all the while she's learning. So the person who willed the band into existence, who is the primary lyricist, the only member who sings and plays an instrument most of the time gets the least comments from reactors. Oh yeah she has her own signature model guitar from Zematis. •There is no "I" in BANDMAID. Well ok there is one "I" but my point is the songs are written by BandMaid. Not just Kanami Tono. The highly innovative bass and drum lines are created by Akane and MISA. There are no George songs and John&Paul songs. There are only BandMaid songs. •10 plus years with the same line up. Think about that. •More hooks, riffs and motifs in many songs than most bands have on an album. Check it out. No hyperbole. •Use of puns, wordplay using homophones between Japanese and English are not the exception. They are typical of Kobato's lyrics. •Despite the fact that their LIVE videos are superior to the official studio MV"s the latter are excellent. Funny, graphic, innovative and stunningly beautiful works of art describe what you get with BandMaid's official MV's. •As close to the Beatles in terms of unique persona of the members as any group since the Monkees. MISA is quiet and drinks. Akane is happy and eats, Miku is klutzy and CUTE, Kanami is an airhead who crushes on Saiki and Saiki was the Ice Queen. But the Ice Queen has thoroughly thawed. See Yokohama's Endless Story! Their image is carefully crafted or spontaneous or both. •Many songs have catch phrases or singalong sections to engage the audience. Many songs are in English and Japanese.Most songs are full of joy as well. •They're having a ball. They enjoy performing. They enjoy the fans. They enjoy each other. •Make no mistake, this is not a regular band.

Roger Chance! 😄Before long, Roger will have even Gordon Ramsay reacting to Band-Maid!

Welcome, Jess. You are embarking on (along with many others - over 200 million YT views plus over 40 million reactor plays!) an awesome, progressive, hard-rock journey with 5 incredible women. Here's my intro blurb for those who may be new to Band-Maid: BAND-MAID’s songs and sound beat with the heart and soul of all rockers. But you’ll also hear heavy influences of Prog, Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Jazz, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Joy of Playing, Consistency (130+ songs), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destined for mega-stardom. Each member's personalities are super interesting and their musicianship among the best. Their writing, arrangements and overall sound, especially guitar tones and drums, are kick-ass! Having seen them LIVE, I can honestly say their performance, sound, stage appearance, and band synergy is off-the-rails spectacular! Band-Maid is the only band in decades where I love nearly EVERY song they’ve done. I have over 70 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8qjaspkspOYnIU.html Their songs from albums Unleash, Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Hate?, Shambles, Influencer, Warning, No God, Different, Black Hole, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Don’t You Tell Me, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Choose Me, I Can’t Live Without You, and on and on. But don’t miss out on their powerful, beautifully written, mid-tempo songs like Daydreaming, Bestie, About Us, Memorable, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, At The Drop Of A Hat, Mirage and Smile... or more punky like After Life, Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like Manners and The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or a bit jazzy like Wonderland… or progressive like No God, Giovanni, and Black Hole… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like From Now On, Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts… or their many acoustic versions like Catharsis and Sayonakidori... and last but not least, their Anime hits (AniMaid) like Sense, Glory and Unleash!!!!! (from their own Anime MV (series?)): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bbJykqiBuJqceHk.html) And many songs are represented with over 50 well produced music videos. kzfaq.info Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYUJI concerts:  2023 Yokohama 10th Year Anniversary Concert “Endless Story” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kMdhrJCDt7zIZ2Q.html  ONLINE OKYU-JI (Feb. 11, 2021) “No God” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pKeUitF6t9CrkZ8.html  Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA (February 14, 2020) “Domination” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h8iphKZ705zWiZs.html  ZEPP 2018 “Real Existence” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y9eBoa56sbiZpWQ.html  Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 and other full concerts are on bandmaidprime.tokyo, bili, and official Band-Maid’s DVD/BD/CD. And some of the better quality fan videos are excellent. Here’s two of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at an intimate venue:  Shot by Pat McKee from their 2023 US tour concert in Detroit: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/es2oiJB-u9DYkWQ.html  See the Maids 2023 Rockville Festival’s short-set perfection performance: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rNCKnrGW1K3RmJc.html If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, live streams, CD, DVD/BD & merch, etc. bandmaid.tokyo Like most Band-Maid songs, I like them from the get-go but really start to appreciate them after more hearings and seeing their LIVE videos. I'll go back and see an older song like YOLO, Order, Shake That, Freezer, Don’t Let Me Down, Before Yesterday, Real Existence, Non Fiction Days and Alone, etc. and realize there's no band that can consistently construct and play like Band-Maid. For fun, check out:  "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009  Band-Maid MIDI covers: www.youtube.com/@DeanF_MIDI  Reimagined compositions of Band-Maid songs: www.youtube.com/@fxdxmusic Band-Maid Members: Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “StarQueen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 30 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away her sometimes perceived, coldish persona. Saiki’s powerhouse performances, charisma, and voice focus the experience that’s driven her to the top echelon of hard rock frontwomen... or frontmen! Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 32 years old. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR SpokesPigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. Kuruppo! No, no, no… KURUPPO!! Kanami Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 32 years old, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want from Mincho is more! Akane Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, 33 years old, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) while revolutionizing rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumZilla” is the Party! MISA (Me-Sa) "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass, 31 years old. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin literally kills it… every note... uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA! MISA! Maidiacs (Maid-e-acts) - Band-Maid’s crazed yet supportive, knowledgeable and loyal Super Fans. [BAND-MAID NEWS]  BAND-MAID PRIME - Special Video Distribution Website. Along with nearly 50 great play-through’s by each member, concerts and skits, Band-Maid management / label(s) have included the Acoustic Christmas 2021, ZEPP 2018 and Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 concerts! Fans can now see more than 50 great live performances with awesome audio, etc. like Fate, I Can't Live Without You and the great MISA / Kanami exchange in Don't You Tell Me. Those concerts are two of the best produced & performed concerts ever recorded, IMO. bandmaidprime.tokyo  The Maids SOLD OUT 2023 US & Mexico tour wrapped up and was a fantastic success.

Ambassador chance strikes again

Band Maid is in their 11 year, 110+ amazing songs.No stinkers, only good, and better. They are much better live. One of their newest videos is Hate, Official Live. They take what I consider an average level song and thru performance ability turn into a top tier event.

Welcome, you have no idea how good this is gonna be.

Guess who? Well, it's Roger Chance of course! A devout Maidiac and legend. EDIT: lol yep. Both requests were from Roger.

LOL the initial look of skepticism. In the words of Seinfeld; "They're real and they're spectacular." 😋

Comparing Band Maid with Baby Metal is always somewhat weired 😅 okay, they are Japanese, their initials are BM and there are guitars 😂 that's all. This song is quite old but a good start. I wonder that rogerchance did not request "Hate?" again. That's what he does nowadays. But i am very happy with it 😅 Band Maid is intelligently composed Rock, sometimes hard, sometimes mixed with multiple other influences. These ladies are masters at their instruments: Kanami (composer and lead guitar), Akane (drums) and Misa (bass). Then there is lead vocalist Saiki who is perfect for the Band Maid sound and Miku Kobato (rythm guitar, pure energy, most lyrics, fantastic backing vocals and harmonies). Miku wasn't able to play the guitar when she founded the bandin 2013. I don't know of any other band where the fans' playlists differ so much. So, this is just a quite random selection of songs: For some very special live videos try Freedom, Play, Real existence and Endless Story. With Moratorium (Live at Zepp), Rinne (MV) and Dice you can hear more hard rock while more catchy songs are Choose me (MV), Bestie (MV) and Alone (MV). And if you want to hear some ballads then maybe About Us (MV) and Daydreaming (MV) are good picks. But don't miss some of their instrumentals like From now on (MV) and Onset (Live). And finally a very special live performance is Manners/Blackhole (Official Online Live)🍌 And there is more: For example the songs with Miku in lead, their christmas acoustic concert and the 'cover band' Band-Maiko ;-) But if you want to start at the beginning of their career (2013-2017) then go with Thrill (MV, their first video), Real Existence (second video), Alone (MV, first own composition), Freedom(best LIVE performance), Choose Me, Play (LIVE!), ... Some other band recommendations? Then try "The Sixsters" from Ukraine (Pick any song) and "Gacharic Spin" from Japan (song: "Mindset"). Have fun... Po

Got 333rd like 😃 Welcome to the fandom!

Welcome to the Maidiacs, Jess.

They didn't write this one but they did Band Maid the shit out of it. 😅

🥰😁🤗 R...Risk 🤘🕊👀👁

Interesting first song choice. Not that you can make a bad one, bad songs is not a thing these ladies do. This is older at this point. I want to recommend something more recent and live. Hate? Official Live will be a lot of fun. Also they have subtitles.

This is the point, Babymetal don't play instruments thats why they are not a real band, they are singing dancing group and thats it. Band Maid is a real band where is all members the highest level complete musicians! This amazing band is the best hard rock band in the world for the last 10 years!!! Thanks for your reaction.

Robert have you meet Steve more commonly known as Gary Holloway. By any chance. Sorry for the pun.

It was @rogerchance9074, the reason you can't look it up is KZfaq canceled him for allegedly spamming. When all he was doing was repeatedly requesting band-maid so we hope to see him soon
