Happy Birthday to Akane yesterday!!!!!! 31 years young now!!!!! She is my drum Goddess and Band Maid are all my musical Goddesses

Before you lost it!!! Check from Band-Maid Onset live.Belive me worth it! Another one it's Puzzle live...sadly not on YT...but you can find on Bilibili ;)I like your reaction as all time :)

2:09 Bach or Vivaldi? No, it's Mincho. Kanamincho!

Nice to have you back and you are listening to Band-Maid again, it makes EVERYONE happy, right? Its amazing how these ladies can cover SO MUCH different genres and styles... Even the beginning that orchestral intro is written by Kanami, so it was an HUGE compliment to think it is from J.S. Bach :) Greetings from Germany

Band Maid.....for life❤🎙🎸🥁😎👌

The awesome "Hibana" is the b-side to "Sense". Amazingly the Maids had no plans to include it or "Corallium" on the CD single at all. WHAAAAAT!!!😱

When Saiki sings... I forget everything😁❤

Good reaction. Band Maid keeps writing great songs. Don’t know how they do it. Great song and video. Love them. Thank you for this reaction.

Great song written for the opening of an anime. The "B-Side" songs that came out along with this song are Hibana and Corallium are "A-Side" worthy! I think Mincho's guitar solo will satisfy you a lot! MISA, as always, is on fire! Akane beating those drums like they own her money!

Apparently, Saiki was a bit embarrassed standing in front of the wings. And Miku did some shots shooting a red arrow... which were not included in the final MV. They had never composed an orchestral piece before but, as always, Kanami came through after researching and talking to fellow musicians. This band is so hard working! Fun fact: those are real feathers, not CGI 😊🤘

The song is great. A lot of what is in the video is from the anime Platinum End. From Miku holding the white and red arrows and the feathers falling as if angels were flying above like in the show.

The beginning is by the great composter Tono! Kanami Tono that is. Band-Maid was asked to put in a symphonic sound before the song. She literally studied how to do and then did it! She's amazing! As far as lyrics go, you'll just need to do the song twice! once without and then with. Sorry it's the way it needs to be ;)

I love to see you enjoying BAND-MAID hehehehehe ;) The video is very good and the lighting is excellent, the effect that you comment is "relatively" simple to do, just put two spotlights one in front of the other and the person in the middle, that way the beams of light give the impression of being only one and that they cross the person, the only detail to have in consiceration is that they have to be spotlights that have an angle of projection as reduced as possible so that the beam is the most similar to a line and not to a cone as it is usual. About music I only know if I like it or not, that's why I enjoy when someone who knows how to explain things about composition or interpretation, but about photography and lighting I have some idea because I've been a photographer for almost 40 years ;) By the way, you should see something of SOKONINARU, I don't know if you will like it, but what is sure is that it will leave you speechless ;) Greetings from Spain ;) (Translated automatically by software)

On Christmas 25th, they will have an hour acoustic online live. Even in acoustics, they perform wonderfully fascinatingly. Tickets are on their website. We are there, join us if you are interested.

I tell you one thing I'm in love with the bass player, man she rules that bass guitar....I mean she's all over that neck it's sick....great job guy's...."Never Stop the Music"

Happy to see you reacting band maid again,,next band maid i will recomended their B-side song call HIBANA its my favourite😄

The classical music intro always reminds me of the finale to Carl Orff's Carmina Burana, 'O Fortuna'...but in fact it was composed by the supreme songwriter and superb lead guitarist Kanami. Anyway, Orff was a bit of a one-hit wonder whereas Kanami only writes hits.

I love your reactions to Band-Maid so much! Glad you really got into Sense. It's so wild and all over the place and yet somehow just makes sense *cough* *cough*. Many of us over on the Band-Maid Community Discord were wondering if you would like to join us! I'm not sure if you check out other reaction videos but Ryan Mear, Wave Potter, and Alan from Dicodec are already with us and we would love to have you too! If not no worries! I can't post an invite here because it will get taken down so just let me know! Looking forward to your next reaction!

awesome unexpected as always

Welcome back with the Maids. This whole single (three songs) is absolutely insane. Check if you can Hibana and Corallium (even if it's for your own entertainment, the songs are in Band Maid YT channel). Their songwriting skills this year have raised the bar to the roof. BTW: The classical music intro... writen by the band.

It's a blast as always

No Bach or Vivaldi in the intro, but Tono 🙂

I think the dual reaction with another fan is a great idea.

Thank you for the wonderful reaction vid to a really cool song. I loved everything about this song, starting from the soaring orchestral opening (it's not Bach, it's Kanami :)). What I did not expect tho, was to love the two B-side songs even more, esp Corallium - which to me is a stunner. I'd recommend reacting to both, but esp Corallium - if you want to keep smiling. :)

Well, I only say: 2021, Year 8th of BAND MAID Era

MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃

I agree about trying to multitask with the subtitles. Impossible to do on 1st listen

Every time Band Maid releases a new song I become a bigger fan ^_-

You guys need to check out the following Band Maid songs: Bubble, Dice, Moratorium & No God

Great to see you reacting to Band Maid again. The intro was written by Kanami. It would be great if you could react to 'Blooming' or' 'Warning' the official music videos.

Best band on the planet and Kanami is a genius 🤘🎎🤘🎎

Nice reaction. The intro was neither Bach nor Vivaldi. It's from a new orchestral composer you may have heard of. KANAMI, who also composes a lot of Band-Maid music. Her musical talents is constantly evolving and impressive. Peace.

It has been a while since I have heard a great hard rock band that puts the bass this far forward in their mix. Misa is such a great talent...I am glad they are not letting it go to waste just sitting in the background. At this point, she should be credited as playing lead bass! The only thing I want from Misa now is more smiles.....she just lights up the room when she smiles....it is just a rarity to catch it on camera!

All 3 songs on this release are excellent and very "prog-gy". Sense definitely has the best outro ... maybe the best BAND MAID outro ever only rivaled by "SHUT UP!" in Rinne. Others have already pointed out that this is for an anime so it has that "controlled chaos" thing going on :) . Shreddawg and I did a creator / reactor reaction recently ... it was an experiment but we babbled on for an hour about BAND MAID. You can definitely make it work with fans and it would be interesting :). You could have at least wished Akane Happy Birthday (12/14) ;) .

No Bach or Vivaldi. Lead guitarist Kanami composed the orchestral part. 😀

Now you're talking sense!

With this song and Black Hole, Band-Maid has created a new rock subgenre........Frantic Rock! ☺☺

Great vibes from Band Maid, but I wish it was in English. It's also good to hear from you both, your both so funny n cute together!!!! 👍 Your Biggest fan from Pasadena, CA 😎

I love the smiles on your faces when ever you react to Band Maid. Because I know every fan smiles the same way when we listen to them. It could be a dark song but we still smile. Their music just makes us happy.🤘

NO, the intro was Kanami :) This one was written on spec for an anime intro- it had to incorporate several things featuring in the lyrics and also a classical opening bar. great reaction btw :)

Watch it twice. Without subs then with subs. I'll stay for that if you don't mind that your smile might become permanent.

Guys, check also another all females Metal Band from Indonesia named VOC(Voice Of Baceprot) songs School Revolution, God Allow Me To Play Music, and their live 2021 in France

I've seen a lot of reactions to Band-Maid that run the entire video and never gets flagged. I think that the ladies want people to see their music so they must have an agreement in their contract to allow full videos to be shown. These five talented young women are so humble, there's no egos at all in the band. That's why I love each and every one of them. Glad you're back, your reactions are fun to watch.

P.s People who say you should turn on subs are WRONG. If you actually read them to the point of understanding what the song is about you will have missed 70% of the detail of the music! You can check lyrics out yourselves later. I'd much rather have your reaction and appreciation to the song than just a lyric analysis! So dont appologise you cant pay attention to the song while reading the lyrics- NOBODY can- and you do right to focus on the music. These people asking for that are forgetting they are coming at it from the perspective of someone who has heard the song loads and is very familiar with it.

So just a bit of info about this video setting. This song is the opening to an anime called Platinum End. The premise of the story is that Angels come down to find a new God from select humans who are looking to end their lives. Certain angels give different powers, A red Arrow to make people do whatever you want, a white arrow to kill anyone, and wings for flight. So throughout this video, you will see feathers falling, Miku is holding a white and red arrows. You see the white and red themes throughout, Saiki with wings. They did an amazing job matching the MV to themes in the anime.

The intro I believe is all Kanami. In an interview they said the anime show people wanted a "classical" intro. Remember Kanami studied piano form when she was 3yo!. Apparently Band Maid is now the #1 Rock/Meta band in Japan, per Saki in an interview with Herman Li. They always been my #1. Okay Guitar Guy, you need to checkout Sakura Yoshida.She has her own YT channel. I recommend her Dragon Force covers.

This was the opening song in all of their shows in the recent US sold out tour

On the single beam light on Misa. I think they shot the light, then Misa. Set a key on the screen and shot a 3rd shot with a reflection where her back would be, maybe a gauss? It doesnt look like it was a post VFX, but actual effect of reflection. Great to see you kids back ;)

I love your reactions almost as much as I love Band Maid. I just wanted to let you know that I re-listen to your Band Maid reaction a LOT!!!!!!!

It might be hard to find, but the song Puzzle, there are 3 versions - studio, live and acoustic. This is an amazing comparison of what they can do with just one song. A real tribute to Kanami's musical and compositional talent.

MAIDs RULE!

It is good to see the two of you back. The idea of having someone join you is intriguing but the two of you have a wonderful quality together. Could I suggest a little more discussion of the arraignment or a significant person/instrument/production item that stood out and why. Good to see you back once again and a great reaction of a talented band of Maids. 😁

You guys need to react to "Catharsis (Acoustic Version)"... MY GOD what a performance

Happy Birthday 🎂 Saiki, lead vocalist 🎤 of Band-Maid🎀! We love 💘 your music 🎶 here in Silicon Valley! Your voice is like the Lark ascending🐦!

Band maid is my favorite but you have to check out Trident three piece girl j rock 🎸

This is the result when these ladies have 'too much' time to try out new things and develop even further. Or someone has mixed something in their breakfast coffee. At least Kanami's must have had something in it. I mean, this solo? 😵🔥🤘🏻 .... Whatever it is, I like it a lot. :) As others have already written, the other two songs on this single, which to me are anything but b-sides, are no less interesting. _____________________ 【 _Our rock never dies ever. Forever!_ 】- from BAND-MAID 'Manners' 🕊️

For me, the other 2 songs Corallium and Hibana sound more interesting, hard to pick which one I like more... probably Corallium slightly more.

You guys NEVER fail to entertain. I love the idea of having a "Fan Call Friday", you would be innovators if you did that. One thing I would like to see is the object of your reaction being full screen and you minimized. I am sure it's possible to set things up so that if you pause the object to make a comment, your own screen would go to full size. But a lot of the videos you react to have stuff going on in the background of their shots.. Band-Maid is one of these. And full production videos like from Sabaton or Epica, it's almost a given. However, in the end it's really all about you two making the reactions fun. BTW: Congrats on the new equipment, watched the build and because I am a techie, slowed down about 10 minutes of the show to .25 speed, so I could watch more detail.. especially the liquid cooling system. Keep up the magnificent and "Phenomenal" work.. Love you guys!

By the way You guys Rock 🎸 ♥ 😎

Not Bach. Not Vivaldi. Tōno.

Great reaction! Sense is an amazing single, and the B-side is just as amazing. Gary will try to convince you that Hibana is the best song on the single, but don't believe his propaganda. Corallium is clearly at the top (within a tiny margin). I would rank them Corallium > Hibana > Sense.

Hell yeah! I'm up for the collective reaction to bands. 🥸

Kudos on your Band-Maid journey. Some other live videos you HAVE to react to are "Onset", probably the best rock instrumental I have heard in over 50 years, "Play" another former instrumental that had lyrics added, "Choose Me", "Don't You Tell Me", "Smile", Yolo", "Dice", "The Non-Fiction Days" and "About Us". In addition, they have an alter-ego band called Band-Maiko" that does songs related to the Geisha culture in Japan, as Maiko is the term for a geisha in training. The music videos are "Secret of Maiko Lips" and "Gion-cho", you have to check them out. Welcome to The Maidiacs. I thoroughly enjoy your reactions. I'm in my mid-70's from Brooklyn, New York and have been following rock and roll since the late 1950's, and Japanese music over the last 3 or 4 years and am hooked. You should also check out some of Wagakki Band's music, they are also amazing and are right up there with BabyMetal and Band_Maid.

Loving your Band-Maid reactions! Always make me smile! If you can, would love to see you react to “Paradise” by Future Palace!

I now believe Bandmaid are the best rock band.And i believe they will be myth in music in the futur

It's so funny to see you react as well 🙂

Thank you for reacting to the BAND-MAID song. This song "SENSE" was written and composed by BAND-MAID as the theme song of the anime "Platinum End". "Platinum End" is a story that when a god changes, 12 god candidates are selected as angels and fight, and the last one left is the god. The 12 god candidates fight with wings that can fly faster than light, a red arrow that grabs the heart, and a white arrow that destroys everything. The wings that appear in the "SENSE" Music Video are conscious of the wings of the god candidate, and the spotlight represents the arrow of the god candidate. If you listen again with such background knowledge, you can understand the goodness of this song further with the playing technique of BAND-MAID.

Hello from Brazil!! A suggestion. Guitarist Tina S, then 15 years old. Amazing!!

I'm sure the light shining "through" MISA was two lights, one from either side.

It's simple, Band-Maid = happiness.

Sense is an interesting one. 1 thing about the band is 1 song will also keep you guessing with their changes. Believe it or not, it's not the best on their recent EP of 3 songs. Listen to Hibana. No MV for heavens know why. It's a brilliant song with all of the Band Maid creative trademarks. Very catchy creativity packed in to a 3.40 minute beauty. Rinne, Choose Me, Bubble or Don't you tell Me Live or Onset live for more MV's and I disagree with others comments re the lyrics, you don't need to know about the lyrical content in the 1st watch. There's so much going on in the clip, why bother. It's 1 for the 2nd or 3rd watch. Doesn't always tie in with the musical content due to translation.

I'm awaiting for a reaction to the band with the best riffs of metal: AVATAR.

This is the theme song for the Anime Platinum End! It appears anytime Band-Maid is contracted to do a song for Anime or a video game the song is completely different from what one expects from Band-Maid. Band-Maid is Jimmy Page approved!!

Love your reactions, Band-Maid has really taken off, thanks for reacting to them. BUT, I'm kinda hurt that you haven't done more Babymetal though. :( I guess Sharlene crying was just too much. It could be the copyright issues also; Watermarks do work. We want more Babymetal from you guys. We are all waiting for it :) Road of Resistance live in Japan.(remember to watermark it)

You should react to Catharsis Acoustic by Band Maid

Great reaction. Band Maid never fails to deliver. Congratulations on the new setup. Was the loud intro intentional, or a byproduct of fine tuning the new setup still? Love your reactions.

you have to react to the dragon cries a full English blues riff driven song.

NICE！reaction.👍😆

Like you.. im speechless 🤣

It's like progrock on speed! :)

Next Reaction plz so beautiful new song jazz dimash ( ikanaide )

🤘 Thailand 🇹🇭

c'mon guys, just a month you make it look like a decade.

Always nice reaction you guys are great would please do daydreaming it's a softer song but I think you will be pleasantly surprised thank you the music video please this just shoe's how great of range they have be well

Kanami is like Mozart.Excellence in music composition

Ignore the comments about subtitles. For me one of the precs with Japanese music is that I DON'T understand the lyrics. It makes the vocal performance a whole new dynamic where the story telling becomes even more important. Since I discovered the Japanese music scene I've found loads of music from all over the world just because I've realised not understanding can be a positive.

please react to Band-Maid: Onset (live)

Certain ly not Bach or Vivaldi; a home made orchestral arrangment

More of my favorite bass player....kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g5t0fsaLs6e7e30.html

Hi guys, I keep waiting to watch you react to another Dimash, hopefully Stranger, are you waiting for your best friends to come back and react with you? I really enjoy your reactions.

Hi guys, how about more Lovebites?

I like band maid but we need to get back to more lovebites.

Neither Bach nor Vivaldi, but Tono.

nice reaction 😊 BAND MAID 🔥🎸 BAND MAID BABYMETAL LOVE BITES HANABIE Thank you for the reaction video of the Japanese 🇯🇵 band 🙏 please next Unlucky Morpheus - CADAVER / REVADAC + sheet music kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ld-igbWZrtjJqXk.html This band is also from Japan The Japanese bands you've seen so far are great, but this band is equal or better The recommended MV is a set of 2 songs, so it's a little long Why two songs are one set Why did I recommend the version with sheet music? I think you'll know when you watch the video I'm using a Google translator, so I'm sorry if it's strange English 🙇‍♂️

Platinum end

MISA MISA MISA! Sense the ultimate statement of the B sides being better than the A not that sense isn't fantastic but the other 2 are just better

you cant call the end of your video "our thoughts" when clearly band maid obliterates all thoughts with its awesome-sauce

Extraterrestrials these girls

You STILL haven't seen anything yet....ONSET.....Moratorium.....MatchlessGUM......will MELT BOTH OF YOUR FACES OFF!!!!!
