They have a great time. Always. The girls were already unruly on stage when they had plugged guitars. Now, since they use them wireless, there is no one capable to follow them.

Can't think of a band in all my 51 years that has given me so much happiness as these ladies.

My favourite band at the moment and every one a banger!

They are touring the US in October

What's killer is this song was #23 out of 25 song set. And right after this song, they go into Domination. No mercy at the end of this show.....!

You guys could meet them this year on their US Tour, starting with Aftershock Festival in October.

US Tour starting in October. Many dates are already sold out....hopefully they will do more. Got my ticket for Seattle! Go Maids!

We would like to thank Japan for the best reaction and the best live performance.💞

If you want more guitar, you need to do Onset(Live). Trust me. :)

Band Maid is scheduled to play at aftershock festival in October this year (I believe it’s in Sacramento California) and band maid is also doing a tour in the USA as well

Watch Domination again and you will see, that the end of Play is the beginning of Domination.

Goosebumps....all I can say is Goosebumps. God, I can't wait until October 29th. Boston...Live!!!

I have 2 VIP tickets for Phoenix October can't wait..

I am going to two Band-Maid shows here in America in October. Even though I don't live in Australia, I know there are many fans there and I just hope so much that they come to Australia soon. The fans there want that so bad!

Thank you for the great reaction! Next, please react to the instrumental song "Onset". I highly recommend it! Suffice it to say, I'm surprised that you haven't reacted to this song yet!

Greatest....... song..........intro........EVER!!! Also, an all around awesome song. 🤘🤩🤘

I don't know about going to Japan......but I am going to Seattle, ( one of 5 sold out venue's ) too see the Maids, can't wait !!!!🔥❤🎙🎸🥁😎👌

It's like MISA did a "Lars" and turned down Kanamis guitar. Especially compared to the Zepp-concert. That version was my introduction into the maids, and YT algorithm working at it's finest. A couple of weeks ago the girl released some US dates, so i guess Europe will be next? It would be awesome if they dropped by SA too!

Happy to hear you are recovering. Best wishes for continued health.

Great reaction!!!! Got my vip tickets for Texas!! Cross thar off my bucket list!! THANKS 🤟🤟🤟🦧🍌🙏

Thanks S&T!

so excited for Band Maid tour , can't wait to see them in San Diego, California

I first found Band-Maid after watching one of your previous reaction videos a few months ago (I can't remember which one it was now, but they're all amazing). They always put 200% effort into their performance and they play so well together (I love Misa's growling bass tone). The Barefoot Assassin slaps hard and fast :)

Got your tickets yet? BAND-MAID's 8 state, 11 gig USA tour includes the "AFTERSHOCK FESTIVAL 2022" in Sacramento, California on Sunday, October 9 with Foo Fighters and The Warning! Also on the bill is Slipknot, Jinjer, Nemophila and tons of other groups. Go to Band-Maid's website for ticket info.

I already have my tickets for Band-Maid on October 28th, 2022 at Irving Place in New York City and I hope they play this AND Onset as part of their playlist. And then there's the bonus of Miku's Magic Time. I'm so psyched already that I may have to double up on my blood pressure medication. I've following rock since the mid 1950's and they are the best in the business right now.

Sacramento is by no means Japan, but you may want to consider planning a trip to see B-M in Sacramento at the Aftershock festival, which also includes many other acts probably on your bucket list (or that you at least like a lot). The rest of the October U.S. tour is just about completely sold out, but you can still get tickets to all four days of Aftershock, or any one of them. B-M plays Sunday, which Foo Fighters are headlining. (I'm not paid to promote the festival, btw, just letting S&T and anyone else here know about it if they did not.)

Thanks for coming back to the Maids. I'll be seeing them on tour this fall--second time seeing them. The first time was a life-changing experience. Not sure where you are relocating to but you should see if they are going to be anywhere in reach. If not, swim.

Well it's about time that you returned again with the ladies !.🙂

I'm looking forword to the US tour in October.😃 Jealous・・・.😭

Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。 You are covering my favorite 3 bands : Band-Maid, Lovebites and BABYMETAL. Here is the correlation among the three that I know. ◆ Akane (B-M) and Haruna (Lb) are good friends as drummers ◆ B-M and Kami Band in the BM's back are good friends ◆ Midori (Lb) and Kanami (B-M) attended the funeral for Mikio (Kami's guitarist) and left their messages of condolence that were full of respect to the deceased virtuoso (RIP). ◆ Midori (Lb) and BOH (Kami's bassist) are good friends.

BAND MAID never disappoints (and MISA's bass never stops screaming out loud, damn!)... Pleeeease guys, check RAISE A SUILEN - Repaint (LIVE at Zepp Divercity) ! ... It's a MUST! (or any other by RAS, it will give you a big and unstoppable smile) 😁

Happy to see you back with band maid. Can't wait to see you do their latest acoustic song catharsis

Play was originally an instrumental but Saiki thought it was such a blast that she asked Miku to write some lyrics for it and who could blame her. The guitar sound issue definitely seems to be an issue withe the Line Cube recording as it is not the case with what I've seen of the Zepp recordings where Kanami's guitar is very upfront so if you can find stuff from that concert (not available as official videos apart from Real Existence which you've already done) then I think you will be happy.

Love this song! Love this video! love the call and response between Misa and Miku! This is why I feel live is best for Band-Maid for extras like this beginning. Thank you for reacting to this video.

That was the First Song of the SET!!!!

this song is quintessential Band Maid. And that entire first minute or so? Basically a throw away bit the ladies cooked up for the tour... that probably is already changed for their upcoming tour. But not actually "part" of the studio track. That's one of the bits I love is... Kanami is just a riff generator and never seems to worry about running out of ideas. She puts more riffs into one song than most bands put on a whole album.

Did you notice our Pigeon attract a crowd when she was late on her first backing vocal?

When Kobato (Po! 🐦) commandz us to SING... we SING! ;-)

Onset Onset Onset !!! Did I hear someone say Onset ? Yes you need to react to ONSET ! Do it now, don't delay !! Play is one of the three most epic tracks you must listen to, Blooming another one, is my favourite and the other one must be ONSET !!!

these ladies are the best

There’s a Band-Maid song called Take Me Higher live version that has a better version of the song Play that starts after the other song where it has Misa going off on the bass at the beginning and the first part of the song is different. Plus they have awesome flames on stage!!

For some reason that reminded me a little like Primus. Don't know why though, maybe the sound of the bass guitar. Anybody else see any similarities to Primus.

I doubt anyone is doing the lights live. More like sequenced at a show this size. Audio too. Still, someone had to program the thing in the first place and it looks and sounds great!

We will perform at \"AFTERSHOCK FETIVAL 2022\" on 7/Oct 2022. See you there!!　BAND-MAID＆ NEMOPHIA

If this is them 'playing', what happens when they get serious? 🤭🔥🤘🏻 ----------- 「 Our rock never dies ever. Forever! 」 --- from BAND-MAID 'Manners' 🕊️

Seeing Band-Maid in Boston, October, 29th, 2022, at The Paradise!

They are doing a US tour in October of 2022. Maybe that would be easier to crowd fund??? (Always enjoy your reactions)

And Miku rocking out! No longer a non guitar playing pigeon. And her backing vocals - so cool. All musicians are giving their all in this one. Good name - Play!

I am going to get to see them live for the first time in Seattle in October. The wait will be so hard!

But, MISA though! 🤘😍🤘

Band Maid doing a US tour this year too!!! Concur on the soft lead guitar - it is NOT the dominate sound when it should be.....psst Liliac just dropped Lita/Ozzy cover ..... song I always thought to be an "untouchable" song to cover. You decide.

This is from the same show as the other video where you said the guitar was too soft, I agree. I had a friend at this show. He said the guitars were plenty loud at the show. But some reason it's not as clear in the video.

These girls are so fun to watch. Plus they are excellent players. Next level talent

"Play", live, is a masterclass in fun! I like the opening with Miku and MISA going back and forth! Yes, the guitars in this whole concert were too soft, need to slap the sound board person! Great show! I can't wait till October, I've got tickets for Phoenix and Dallas!

MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃

Touring the us in October got tickets to see them in DC going to be awesome

They kick ass, want the CD

I feel sorry for you guys, as you cannot se the videos as you want. Play is awesome.

Onset is first song of the set.. followed by Play,,, this lets you know what your in for at a band maid concert...enjoy the ride.. lol.

Going to see this incredible band in October. Can't wait !!!!

“Play” was meant to be an instrumental for only Kanami, Misa, & Akane to play. Saiki & Miku heard them rehearsing and enjoyed the music so much, they wanted to make a song of it. Miku quickly penned some lyrics and the song “Play” was born. They usually play a cool instrumental leading into the song. Akane’s pedal work is phenomenal along with Misa’s bass. There’s a fantastic 2017 live version that has a different intro that is heavier and was before Miku was playing in the intro.

Of course we have to meet up in Japan whenever they get to play at Nippon Budokan in Tokyo. They are all amazing musicians, totally outstanding live performance, I have it on DVD and can't wait to see them in real life.

I am raised listening to classical music...every day. My favourite composer is Beethoven and rarely go past a day without listing to one of his works. I started learning a guitar 8yrs ago, am 22 now. I have hand disability's so can not play some full chords but i enjoy it. I came across Bandmaid by accident on YT, I think they are near my age so I really loved them. I am not used to any pop music or any other bands, altho my girlfriend loves Led Zepplin...I think they are to wonderful. We both love Bandmaid and have even thought about buying maid costumes.....joke! Altho i wood dress like Misa, but being only 5'-2' may be Miku little dress wood be better. Any way my great love is collecting guitars and i have now 43 which include Gibsons, Fenders, Taylor, Martin, I also have bought cheap ones in Germany from Thomann and they too are great for the money. My worst buy is a Gibson SJ200 which is huge, I can hardly hold it to play. I also play bass as well but find reaching the top of the fret board difficult, becos my arms are qite short. I love your guitar collection it is so cool.:)

I believe Rock and Roll is safe with all these new bands coming up to prominence!! And a lot of them all female groups. I'm 67 years old. When I leave this dimension, I will leave happily knowing Rock is alive!! Enjoy!!

Can't wait to see them in San Diego in October, wish you could join us there! Thanks for the reaction and GO BAND MAID!!!

Good react again! Minute 4:00 has anyone else seen what happens in front of @songs and thongs ? Bandmaid effect of course! See You in the next 🤟🏻🦊🇯🇵🔥🔥🔥

Play was my introduction to Band-Maid, the older live video, where you can hear Kanami better. I like the intro on this video though

Love Bandmaid, started listening to them a couple years ago. Another band you should check out is Rolling Quartz, from Korea.

love your content and im a huge band-maid fan. fun fact that someone may have pointed out in one of your other reactions but incase no one did here we go... Jimmy Page went to one of their concerts and loved Akane's drumming so much that after the show he wanted to go back stage and get a picture with her, when they told her she thought they were joking. Jimmy Page said "she is one of the best drummers he has EVER heard. coming from the legendary Jimmy Page no one can even begin to make an arguement otherwise. Akane "the Gorilla" as nicknamed by the band is with out question one of the best in the world today. Kanami (who needs no nickname) is an unbelieveable guitarist and lead composer. Misa "the barefoot assassin" cause she always plays barefoot and sneaks up and just slaughters you with her bass playing, Miku "Pigeon" the second guitar and lead song writer and basically the woman that brings everyone together is just amazing in so many ways. and last but certain by no means least Saiki "the Ice Queen" on lead vocals is just The angel in black with the voice that grabs you by your soul and brings you to enlightenment. i am not a musician or singer but music is the largest thing that takes me away from the madness that the world throws at me. for any musicians out there, being good at your instruments is great, but having the love and friendship that these ladies have brings their shows to a level that very few even come close to. the interaction they have on stage with each other and with the crowd is breathtaking.

To see you both react is as enjoyable as the songs themselves :-) You're fun like hell 🙂

Gonna say more on the lead it’s needs some dirt, the drumming and bass are outa this world. Imagine these on Glastonbury in the evening as it gets dark WOW I just imagine like AC/DC they get louder as darkness falls 🤘

In the first version, live, Miku was still just wearing the guitar and playing very little. She has come a long way. Did you notice that Miku switched microphones? Hers was dead. They are touring the US in October and I'm set to go. So now how about reacting to Cluppo "Pogo", Miku side project?!?! A new band for you Rolling Quartz, 2 songs; "Blaze" (debut) and "Good Night" (this year). They are a Korean all female rock!!!

Like you say Harry not to much you can say about this band is that their talented and awesome players....plus they are very beautiful young ladies that can rock the house...."Never Stop the Music"....btw if you go to Japan sneak me in with ya....lol

You guys started me down the Band-Maid rabbit hole with Thrill, so I can only return the favour by asking you react to Onset Live for me please? You made me a Maidiac! Thank you.

Please do a reaction With Majestica - Above the sky With Sabaton leadguitarist Tommy Johansson! Or Majestica - Metal United! Greetings from Sweden!

I am 37 year old grown ass metal loving man and not a feminist but these ladies are the best group in the world today. The westerns media or MTV cover them or not or whether are in Rolling Stones magazine or not but musically they are the best, period.

they’re coming the states in October!! got my tickets for the San Francisco show!!

You should check out Home Free's cover of Man of Constant Sorrow

I would never try to talk you outa going to Japan... but, why not come to USA this Oct: Band-Maid;'s doing 11 cities from NY to LA plus an insanely star-studded festival where Nemophila will also be playing (along with some bands you may have heard of like Foo FIghters, Kiss, MCR and Slipknot)

i really like Mr.Songs personality he so fun :)

as a long time drummer, been a long time since I was in a good (local) band. Maybe I should form a new one with all dudes and name it BAND-BUTLERS!?

I've got my ticket for Seattle show. I have to drive eight hours to get there but it'll be worth it.

Harry, you have to hear Love bites Scream for Me. A guitar battle for the ages and I'm 72 lol. Can't wait to see your reaction from both of you. Mind meltingly epic.

This was track 21 on that show, Line Cube Shibuya, Feb 14, 2020. Freedom was track 6, Wonderland track 17, Domination track 22 (right after this, the clip starts with the last note of Play). Also, it's hard to notice the snare in that part (4:30) next to the guitars and what Akane's feet were doing. Brrrp-brrrp, brrrp-brrrp, brrrrrrrrrp. 😁

That ending faded out to break back in as "Domination", the next to last song in the set.

My favorite is Turn Me On great vocals

Great reaction! I am super surprised you have yet to listen to 'Onset' (Live instrumental). It will blow your mind, I promise. 😇

Lo lo sé Band Maid son perfectas son bellísimas son lo máximo 😍😍😍 hacen de la melodía un arte ❤️❤️❤️

You don't have to go to Japan. They're coming here. I've got my ticket! But, that aside, this isn't even the best version of 'PLAY!' LIVE. If you're not adverse to searching Chinese websites, you can find most of the stuff that was removed from KZfaq on Bilibili. Check out the Zepp Tokyo LIVE concert.

In my humble opinion, the best music of the last 30 years at least is being played now by women from Japan and Mexico. And it was Band-Maid who first made me aware of this.

Onset onset onset!!!!!! Completely instrumental and you guys will love it!!

Love your reaction! If you have interest in Japanese males' band too, please check the band "Crystal Lake"(metal core band). "Into the Great Beyond", "Apollo" ... These tracks are especially on fire.

for something else - check out this - Sultans of Swing (metal cover by Leo Moracchioli feat. Mary Spender) , just so enjoyable to see these talented musicians...something different

Hope they do Play on their October tour with a new intro. Just something else to dream about. BAND-MAID will be Awesome no matter what they Play. Peace.

I love how at 2:45 your faces melted. Appropriate.

They are coming to the USA in October !

I, too am a big fan of BandMaid and also Lovebites. They both have awesome light shows with their awesome live performances. Check out Lovebites "Thunder Vengeance" Great song and another awesome light show!

Great reaction you 2 ...

Their instrumental Onset have some more amazing lazers and lights going.

Band Maid is known for Adding Different Intros to their songs. Play, same song, different intro: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f8uJhsl0yLyVY6M.html
