An English translation of the lyrics of Daydreaming. "Before Yesterday" is also a wonderful ballad. Daydreaming, don’t wake me up There's nothing I can do with a hoarse voice Stay next to me tonight Hold on, feel my soul As we swayed under the moonlight Our shadows blended together Clumsiness intertwined I hope tonight does not end This may be wrong Though I thought it was over I still want to believe I feel more alive in this moment Daydreaming, dreaming of you So, I'm daydreaming, don’t wake me up There's nothing I can do with a hoarse voice Stay next to me tonight Don’t go I want to daydream, don’t let it disappear We cannot go back, so don’t go Stay next to me tonight Hold on, feel my soul Feeling the distance of this breath Somehow I love you so much Our shadows start to move And dissolves in the early hours This may be wrong Though I thought it was over I still want to believe I feel more alive in this moment Daydreaming, dreaming of you So, I'm daydreaming, do not wake up There's nothing I can do with a hoarse voice Stay next to me tonight, do not go Hold on, feel my soul I want to daydream, don’t let it disappear We cannot go back, so don’t go Stay next to me tonight Hold on, feel my soul lyricstranslate.com/ja/daydreaming-daydreaming.html

YOU: (pauses video and rewinds 30 seconds) "Feel free to tell me off". MAIDIACS: ".....................................(tumbleweed rolls past in the total silence of our response)..............." 🤣🤘 We never, ever, ever mind you pausing because you rewind back to before the bit you want to hear again...and we get to enjoy it again! We can watch the video any time in its entirety but we're here for your - always honest and open - reactions. 👍🤘 I love this song a lot - immaculately played and angelically sung by these 5 goddesses of Music, as always. They have a lot of superb official MV's and I'd have to recommend 'Blooming' and 'Rinne' and 'Don't you tell me' most of all...though they are only just ahead of literally everything else they've done. Also, for an amazing display of Saiki's beautiful vocal talents, I'd have to recommend the live version of 'Wonderland' - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rpqYq6-WrcjViqM.html .

BAND-MAID's Kanami Tōno: "A good guitar solo will trigger emotions. I always keep that in mind!" Perfectly displayed in this very emotional solo. It´s one of my favorites, it´s not technical, it´s not THE BEST solo (for me Blooming), but it´s the most emotional solo i know... It´s also a song that Kanami is very proud of, because it was very difficult in songwriting and in terms of lyrics. Greetings from Germany, hope you are having a great day :)

9:19 that shot of her ripping that solo in the alley. It feels like she is holding the weight of the world through that guitar.

I catch myself Daydreaming about BAND-MAID whenever I'm not listening to them.

I often underrate Saiki's vocal performances. Her range and emotional rendition and Her rock voice are superb. But often I have to remember that along with Miku and her back up your emotions are being pulled into odd places before you ever find out what she is singing about. What a Band to find after all the time they have been around. Nice reaction to simply a wonderful multi talented band.

The building WAS standing before the video shoot. Then it heard "Daydreaming", melted and fell over. Thanks Chief!

I've read that this is Kanami's favorite solo. She's most proud of this one, which is completely justified. Band-Maid is their own classification. Other bands will soon be compared to Band-Maid. This is one of my favorite songs. Don't you tell Me is my actual favorite. The MV is so cute.

The MV was shot in Taipei, Taiwan.

Puzzle is a cool song that has both a live and an acoustic version and both are very good (acoustic is played by kanami and saiki).

This song is everything I love about Band Maid. They feel everything they play. Not generic always on point. Great reaction

Chief 322--ohhh yeahhhh, I see you finally got to my suggestion! (one of the many who suggested it I'm sure). As you can now see, this song is absolutely spellbindingly gorgeous! It literally took my breath away and yes, gave me chills when I first heard it as well. There are so many elements involved in this masterpiece that it's a bit mindboggling how they all fit together into such a sublime power ballad. And I got a smile thinking, oh man--he hasn't even heard the solo yet-ha ha. That is so surprising isn't it, just brilliant! I totally agree, this band constantly surprises me, too, they work with the structure of songs in their own unique ways adding magical fills, riffs, and the like to conjure up their very special style all their own. The vocals of Saiki and then the harmonies Miku adds are lovely...can they be any better? As far as Akane's drums on this, I get faint reminders of Larry Mullen's type of playing and Kanami ventures into Edge's territory at times, giving it that pretty U2 type vibe, but it's all their own. Misa and her wonderful bass lines, hand in glove and compliment Akane so well...As you mention there is nothing that is cookie cutter or generic, they tend to "set us up" as listeners don't they? Unexpected musical sections and ideas come at you constantly. They discard songwriting formulas routinely. This song is true art--I can't wait to hear what other beautiful songs Kanami will come up with for Miku to add lyrics to. Glad you got to this one mate!

great reaction... Kanami solo in this song always get me shiver... it's make me remember all of dark and sad memory but showing a happy bright moments in the end

I think quite often the slower songs are more of a showcase for Akane's drumming than the faster songs. People can hide things with blasting double peddles on the fast stuff but placement and feel is everything when every strike is recognisable,. I know The Dragon Cries is a bit polarising in the fandom. To me it shows another aspect of what they can do and is probably the most old school rock influenced song they do next to Manners.

Saiki is opening this song so gently, softly cooing the words in way that reminded me how very intimate a love affair can be. Very sensual, very classy. Which is the very vibe of her. Rare to find that kind of refinement, anywhere really.

That solo is my absolute favourite from any of their songs. It touches my soul and gives me chills every time I listen to it!

Kanami's solo's make panties and boxers drop. lol She puts a lot of heart in her work, and its evident. Kanami and Akane are my bread and butter when it comes to Band-Maid. While others are still learning and visibly improving, and reaching new heights (Saiki is getting better at singing every single album, Misa same thing with her bass, and Miku with her rhythm guitar but still needs to improve her singing)...both Akane and Kanami have reached their mountain peak when it comes to hard work and talent. I dont believe they can improve any further...they seem to have mastered a mix of flawless execution and creativity already. I honestly dont know what else could they possibly improve on. Keep in mind this song is a few years old now? Its ridiculous how good they used to be...add more years of experience to that now.

Vocals, choruses, guitars and basses from the second berth are like beautiful mosaic art. Among them, AKAME's drums are really amazing. Simple but very complicated. I can't say it well, but it sounds like a vocal, like not hitting it in the same way. I love this song!

I love that you can feel the emotion in this. It's such a great song. Another one that has the power and emotion is the masterpiece that is Puzzle. It's not on KZfaq but you can find it if you go looking for it.

Love these Ladies! Been a Bandmaidiac since 2016.Best hard rock band in 40 years ( I`m 61). They are soo unique. I soo agree with your comments. Stay strong!

I'm right there with you, my friend. Just getting fully into Band-Maid myself. They make me happy! They take me back to my younger, finding what i like, days. Band-Maid makes me feel like I've never heard music before. A revelation!!!!

What do you mean 'nearly got you'!? It gets me every single time!!!

Love all your reactions to Band-Maid, keep up the good works:) May I suggest you check out one of their earlier songs "Alone", it has got one of the most emotionally charged and powerful solos from Kanami in their whole catalogue!!!

At the beginning you noticed Akane's drum pattern, my favorite part is during Kanami's guitar solo where Akane refuses to just ride on a cymbal or hihat... Great reaction, have a wonderful day!

In my top 5 for sure. Love this track and it gets me every time!

As one of ones who recommended this song it's one of my all-time favorites glad you got it.

"Feel free to tell me off" Bro, you could watch this song 4 times back to back and we don't care one bit. This is my favorite Kanami solo. It hits JUST the right spot on those 8 end octave notes and Miku coming in soft. Only one other hits me like that and that's Rush - Mission end solo. I've been a playing musician 43 years and those 2 solos flip my switch EVERY freakin time.

I’d say this was the first solo that kinda brought tears to my eyes. EVER

Buy the albums listen to every track bar the ones that have videos and just enjoy them, such a marvellous band 🤘🤘

~is mad~ I think this is a good example of how you can have a simple song, but just make all the parts do neat things with interesting ideas, so it ends up with a lot of depth. There's a craft to writing and this is it! I liked when you got excited thinking about the arrangement - if you think about it, after the intro the whole thing is like one long buildup to the guitar solo, gradually adding more drums, more rhythm on the bass, more action on the guitars... it's a cool idea! I said it before but Anemone is definitely in this category for me, definitely listen to that one if you get the chance! But it's an album track, so it's audio only - there's a live acoustic version floating around (not on the official channel) but I'd recommend the studio one first. It has that kind of soaring desperation and I think the contrast makes the stripped down version mean more, if that makes sense? It's great anyway

Anemone (original studio vversion) has similar vibe, another gorgeous song. Mirage and wonderland are a bit proggy, jazzy and you'll hear many dissonant chords, but no Kanami solos (or very short one).

Another perfect composition from Band Maid. Nice one, Chief.

masterpiece

Band maid.. doing what only Band maid can do!!! There music wraps you up in a little band maid bow!❤❤❤👍👍 thanks bro ✌✌

Am I considered fashionably late or just late? Wow, what an emotional song. It definitely got me in the feels, all of it, both vocally and musically. What a masterful composition. Band Maid is my second favorite band, just behind Jinjer. If I were to break it down to genre, Band Maid, for me, is #1 in hard rock/jpop. Composition wise, I put them tied with Jinjer for #1 as they absolutely know how to compose music. Loved it Chief, what a great reaction. I feel like, music wise, we are kindred souls. Music absolutely moves me in ways I don't have the words to describe. You seem to be the same and I truly enjoy seeing it. Keep it up brother.

You're so right about Akane's drumming - her "patterns" are often things that leave you wondering how and why she thought to play it that way - and yet they're brilliant. Then there's her general tendency to "contribute" more to the song without getting in the way, by getting creative and not just keeping time. I often use the comparison of two drummers that play completely different styles of music - one being the jazz legend Roy Haynes and the other being the crazed lunatic Keith Moon. Both of these drummers were the living antithesis of "just keeping time." Their creativity becomes an integral part of the song. You can say the same about MISA and Kanami a lot too, and that, along with their ridiculously great song-writing is what makes them so great, and what allows you to keep coming back to the same songs over and over again without getting the slightest bit tired of them.

Real BAnd Maid fan territory here - no tears, just joy at such a gorgeous song, with so much feeling from the vocals, a perfect drum performance and arguably the most song-appropriate crescendo solo in their catalogue. All this before I have even seen your reaction. Because we know.

You have great ear. Not many people mention about drum but it is one of the best work by Akane. Thank you for your reaction. Another great slow song. "Awkward" next.

DYK chief that Kanami imports her own coffee beans from Rwanda. Akane loves it when Mincho makes her a capuchin-o.😏

have you done WONDERLAND? great song.this song hit me in the feels and i got chills saiki voice is just awesome

This song hits pretty hard. And surprisingly it doesn’t get recommended a lot for reactions …which I just don’t understand. It’s one of their best songs. Another hidden gem of a song that doesn’t get a lot of recommendations is The Non-Fiction Days. That song is great. So if you hadn’t heard that one , you need to check that one out.

Daydreaming speaks for itself....beautiful & brilliant! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂

Well, what can I say? I could probably write half a novel about this song. How fantastic the instrumental, the voices and definitely not least the solo is, which feels like a burst of emotion. But I'll make it short: For so many reasons, for me 'Daydreaming' is THE masterpiece, among all their others. I just love this song. 【 'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!' - Band-Maid 】🕊️

I love this song so much! very emotional! ♥️

Super ballad 💕😍 that solo tho pierce my heart 💘 try Puzzle chief...full band n accoustic...super ballad song for me too...tq chief n stay safe n stay healthy 🙏🏿👍🏻✌

Wot no live? This is a lively little ballad, and then they do it live and it's an epic rock ballad for the ages. Pure quality as usual.

Still my favourite band maid song 😁

Love this Band -Maid!! Thank you for reacting to this video.

when you said "about us made you cry" and i was waiting for the box of tissues for this one. :) ITS NEVER COOKIES CUTTER..... its Band Maid lol How does a solo "so nearly got me" when you had to go back multiple times...... it got you

This is in the Maidiacs top five Band-Maid songs like the other 100+ songs they play !

Classic power ballad.

Great ballad from Band-Maid! Shows great versatility of these amazing ladies! Kanami's most difficult composition, and her favorite to date! Mv shot in Taiwan, btw.

This is one of my all-time favorite Band-Maid songs! It's a perfect blend of melancholy and hopefulness, and along with "Blooming" got me through lockdown. I wish they hadn't taken the live version from Zepp Tokyo off their channel. The solo piano intro enough would been enough to make one misty.

There are not enough adjectives in the English language to describe Band Maid. They have a way of taking almost any normal phrasing and just turning it on its head. Kanami is truly an underrated genius. So are the other ladies in their own right.

In my top 3 ! Band Maid..'We are going to do a slower song'..Akane..'But I can still slay my drums, right ?' You should do 'Blooming' ( my number 1 !!) next and get blown out of the water.

Anemone live acoustic version... if you want to be brought to tears due to great vocals.

See Dont Be Long, turn the volume to maximum and feel the guitar, an instrumental as wonderful as onset.

keep going back as much as you want - some parts can be played over with no chance of getting bored. the earlier band maid videos are ALL classic. they are amazing live as well but many of the videos are shot in locations that are just too cool to pass up. example : 'the non fiction days' shot on a beach somewhere in japan. killer video that i will leave you a link for. also 'yolo' is another video you will want to check out. and also the one for 'alone' which was the first kanami [lead guitarist] written song that their label let them record. we will keep you busy. but here's the non fiction days:kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9qJgZCjzpeygKc.html

i don't understand Japanese , but when i listen to this song i feel what they are saying non the less .

KANAMI is on fire with this solo as you can see repeat more and more c-ya

This official music video was made in Taiwan back in 2016.

I've always really liked this song, but the live version from Zepp Tokyo made me love it even more.

Nice reaction. Saiki's ballad voice....melts me every time. Then she transitions smoothly into that rock voice...and I'm gone. And the instrumentals weren't bad either... =)

I felt strange about this song. For my first time listening, I liked Sai-chan's gorgeous vocal and Mincho's awesome solo. For the second time, it was A-chan's drum caught my attention most. Third time was Miku's beautiful chorus, and finally MISA at the fourth time (volume is too low, imo, but MISA is definitely there!) At the end, every members shine as always. This is a masterpiece ballad with multi-facets❣👸☕🦍🕊🍺❣

I love this band, and it's not the amazing musicianship, nor their amazing song writing or lyrics, or the harmonizing. You may ask what's left? The dynamics of this band, the way they actually love each other and respect each other and their fans, it flows into their music. Also the call and response between Miku and Saiki, no other band uses it the way Band Maid does it.

I have such fond memories of singing this in broken Japanese when seeing them live in London. Has to be my favourite track still after all these years.

No one is prefect. But these 5 young ladies as a band come pretty damn close XD.

Your Nightwish reaction brought me here, and I gotta say that you reacted to some pretty awesome stuff 🤘 You just earned yourself a new subscriber! ☺ Small feedback though on the titles of your videos: If somebody (like me at the moment) is browsing through your channel on the phone, you don't see neither the band name nor the song you are reacting to.... just things like "this got me", "metalhead reacts", "this is epic" and stuff like that... Unless that's a tactic of you (which is fine for me), I'd place at least the name of the band at the front (like "Sabaton reaction" or sth like that). Sorry for my rambling, just thought to bring this to your attention... just in case you weren't aware of it 😉

Nice video

"I have no idea to this day what those two Japanese ladies were singing about. Truth is...I don't wanna know. Some things are best left unsaid. I like to think they were singing about something so beautiful it can't be expressed in words...and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell ya, those voices soared...higher and farther than anybody in a grey place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful pigeon (Po!) flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away. And for the briefest of moments...every last Master and Princess felt free"... Morethan Freebird

On c e gain fantastic reaction you've just witnessed the living legends known only as band maid they keep rewriting music history be well uummm before yesterday if you please

-I'm tryig to remember....hmmm...I think this is a post-vocal sgurgery performance for Saiki-san...that slight respiness sounds like its missing compared to the earliest videos...I can't recall exactly when the surgery was though...the result was amazing! This to me is one ofthe their best songs...arigatou Kanami-san.....:) You can really hear her love of Carlos Santana in this solo!...lol And of course...it's even better live...\m/

Band-Maid, expect the unexpected and enjoy.

music is emotional and some band just hit you right....i cry , laugh and go apeshit depending on the mood and song totally normal

That was the correct reaction. Especially to Kanami's solo. 😉

KANAMIIIII❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤

Someone has posted the live version of 'Daydreaming' from their Feb 2921 streamed concert. Just spotted it today, it's been up for a week and will probably disappear soon so thought I'd better mention the link now. It's sublimeAF and mellower than the original that you loved so much but a real gem. Enjoy! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l8yEo82YyN-Whps.html

Some old house. The lights dim. A old metronome sits in a rocking chair talking to it's grandchildren. "Let me tell you kids about the woman who stole my job..."

Oh its a great day!!

Quite possibly THE best guitar solo ever is in their song 'Alone' It's also the first song Band-Maid got to write by themselves without the upper management from their old record label interfering. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l952aJmamdnUmaM.html

I always enjoy watching it. I used to enjoy Miku's videos, so I recommend the following two videos that introduce the cute side of Miku. "Turn on the power", "Keep your lips secret".

MISA MISA MISA!

Absolutely my favorite Band Maid song ……………………….. Akane! Try Endless story

Isnt that an amazing solo? It perfectly fits as part of the song and makes it better- its not just some fast bit of showoffiness that doesnt fit like >75% of solos out there.

Oh yeah there are more ballad or emotionally driven songs. Most of them are not MVs though. A good cd with quite a few of them is Conquerer.

Hi :) I was talking on another video, of Ok Goodnight, I sent you the link via Jotform, hope you like it. Edit : Just forgot to specify, the video is more focused on Casey's voice than the instrumentation, but their album is available to listen to on youtube too, so if you ever like the video, you can listen to the album without worries after ^ ^.

please do react to "Endless story by them girls. You will like it too.

Don't you think it's close to Irish rock?😃🇮🇪

If this song was in English it’s a top 5 hit.

Bro, TRIDENT-JAPAN songs Voltage, No Regret....

Why you still wearing a mask ? It's allready known they are usless and extremely bad for your health ! Band Maid is extremely good ....

Someone posted the lyrics below, and they're definitely worth a read. It lets you know why they wanted you to feel this way with the song. And I think that's a testament to the power of music in the hands of talented people like Band-Maid. You didn't have to understand the words, but the way the instruments were played and the way the words were sung, you can tell something's going on here that you should feel sad about. It speaks to you on a gut level. I mentioned it before and I only say it again in case you didn't get the notification, but if you want to chat music or whatever else on Discord my info's DarkChiron#6998. I know you don't know me insanely well, so don't feel pressured, just in case you need more people to talk music with.
