Heyyy! Alright Wave! Thanks so much for taking my request. You did a great job with it. I loved that you threw it into slow motion. I'm totally doing that move from now on with their songs. Makes so much sense. I wish I had thought of doing that before.

Can I put in a request please? Band Maid - Rinne (official video). Something on the heavy side.

Thank you Rabbs! Glad you enjoyed it! And when i went back to normal speed after .75x, i couldn't believe how fast they're actually playing this!

Now you need to listen to Puzzle, Moratorium, Secret My Lips, and The Non Fiction Days from this same live dvd. The audio mix is so amazing the bass always pops in every song and if you didn’t know this show is available on Band Maid Prime.

This has always been my favorite version of play too

Best mix by far

All the versions are awesome. It's fucking Band Maid

@ It’s on Band Maid Prime.

@ Yeah, I spent stupid money on it but I’m not even mad. All fans deserve to have it on Prime. I’ve had Prime since day one. LOL

It's gonna be good!!! 😎🤘

I love Band Maid. But Black Hole kind of sucks. Giovanni too.

@@powbobs IMO you couldn't be more wrong about both songs.

@@geraldgetskow3420 In my opinion you couldn’t be more wrong about those two cacophonous songs.

@@powbobs It's all a matter of opinion, I think. I'm just here to enjoy Band Maid's music

I do not know who the sound engineer was for this show, but he or she needs some recognition. To pull off that mix, that clean, and LIVE no less! Extremely talented sound person. If you compare running a sound board, to playing an instrument, then this sound engineer is on the same level of mastery as the rest of the band. I've seen/heard 3 or 4 other songs from this same show, and the sound mix is excellent on each one.

I'm sure there are plenty of proper rock bands vying for the title of best rock band in the world with these goddesses. . .. I just can't think of any.

The non fiction day also literall fire on this concert!

I do .75 sometimes for the really fast songs to help me pick up what everyone is doing.

Mine too!

Wait....was I the first? lol

@@silentwood207 yes you were

It's from Studio Coast

I think this song actually started as an instrumental.

BAND MAID writes a "sing along" part in nearly every song. How can you hate the lala's :p ???

@@gbnq2513 Yes it did :)

@ Ikr? Some reactors just don't get the greatness of Band-Maid ;) Luckily Wave does :D

I agree! It is as if an entirely new layer is revealed. Everyone's part was enhanced, more detail revealed, an increased resolution. I will be doing this on a few other Maid songs.

And, yet, their fingers are still faster than my eyes. :)

@@bob2161 I use it (.75x) to help me calibrate my ear brain connection for songs like Black Hole and Different. So much going on at once it's hard (for my untrained ears at least) to pick out the pieces.

@@markyg236 absolutely. It gives my brain a chance to realize and appreciate everything that is going on. I guess before this, I hadn't realized there was more to them than I was aware of.

Don't forget Tamu

@@tto9068 Yup, Murata Tamu smiles constantly and looks like she’s having a great time.

You're welcome! Thanks for the shout out!

Kanami: Hey, Miku. Why don't you learn how to play the guitar? Hey, Akane. Why don't you learn how to use double kicks? Hey, MISA. Why don't you learn how to slap for Order? Hey, Saiki. Why don't you... never mind, Sensei. You're perfect! 😍

@@TomClark-Futoura She does come off as the type of person who’d throw you a seemingly random suggestion but was actually so on point that it’d keep bugging you until you follow through with it. 😅 Teachers with decades of experience are often very good at that. In her case, she’s probably just very observant. Plus she does seem to enjoy being a teacher- giving assignments, setting rehearsal schedules, etc

@@Dtagcity Kanami is so multifaceted in personality and ability -- from being a student to teacher, strong to fragile, and everything else about her. Gotta love her!

You're welcome! Thanks for the thank you. :)

Akane is playing triplets on the double pedal...THAT is awesome.

Agreed. And funny timing, because another reactor today got blown away by their Manners live opening.

Most bassists can't switch from slap to pick and back again without slowing down.

That's an excellent review and breakdown, Bob. Thanks for sharing. :)

Uh, AKANE?????????

@@tommcfall1274 is that for me? Absolutely, Akane's performance in this video is second to none. She's a beast (of the best kind). She did put some extra sauce on her performance. And it was very much in support of Misa. Akane has the ability to back up her bandmates, and actually support their performance, raising it to a higher level, without stealing their thunder. It is a rare ability, and so few drummers are able to learn it, much less do it with Akane's unwavering consistency. Akane was absolutely performing at a stellar level during this show. If you watch any of the songs from this show, she was churning like an atomic clock, start to finish, with a big smile on her face. However, unless she was doing a solo, she never stole the spotlight from anyone. She shared it often, but never stole it. I have a theory about Akane. I'm not sure she is entirely human. She seems happiest when all five of them are at their best. To me, that speaks volumes about what kind of person she is. I believe that if you compare Akane to ALL other drummers that are presently performing, she will be at the top level of that group. If you compare her as a human being, she will again be in the upper level. To put it a different way. I believe that she is as good a person, as she is a drummer. These 5 ladies are Band-Maid. Honestly, the only member that is replaceable, is Saiki. Now before I get steam rolled, please hear me out. I have nothing against Saiki. I love her look, her vibe, and especially her voice. I am NOT suggesting in any way, that she needs to be replaced. What I am saying, is that there are other very talented female vocalists that COULD duplicate her performance, and it would still be Band-Maid. AGAIN, I'M NOT SUGGESTING THAT SAIKI NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. However, I have serious doubts that any of the other girls could be replaced by other musicians. Band-Maid just wouldn't be Band-Maid anymore. P.S. I love Saiki every bit as much as I love the other 4 ladies of Band-Maid. I have ZERO negative feelings or opinions for Saiki. Nothing but love. No room for hate.

Akane - Yoyoka - Murata Tamu - Senri Kawaguchi.

@@powbobs Exactly!

If you win the lottory

@@glenkelley6799 I saw them from that distance in Dallas, TX on the 2019 World Domination/Gekidou tour. It was just magnificent. :-)

@@russ_henry I'd say that was winning the lottery :D

Omg! I never noticed that before. Wow! I've watched that video a million times. Great catch, Mr. Lu! Thanks for reporting that

@@Rabbi_Rabbs I know, it's hard for me too to take my eyes off Kanami when the devil is trying to get out! 😂 I noticed on another show where it's more obvious and was looking for it here!👍

It's now up on Prime in two parts

Oh you can.... you just have to fork over $350 on eBay.

@@gradyshmalady8284 I know. Should have acted more quickly.

@@gradyshmalady8284 I paid more than that. No regrets.

They're both on Band Maid Prime!!! Worth the price of admission all by themselves IMO.

I paid almost $400 for Studio Coast.

Yeah, it even works as a ballad. LOL

Lol!

Fair enough. I respect that!

Shit! 💩 Maybe Band-Maid and some other groups will revive the venues next year.

It is true that both venues will close Jan. 2022, but it is due to contract matters of property usage. All facilities in Palette-Town will close sequentially by Aug. 2022. Palette-Town is a amusement complex which includes Venus Fort (shopping mall), TOYOTA showroom, huge Ferris wheel, Zepp Tokyo etc. It is announced that the place will become a new complex with sports arena, hotels, shopping malls etc. I believe this schedule was fixed around in 2016 or so. Zepp have 2 more active venues in Tokyo (Divercity & Haneda). As for the Studio Coast, it was announced that they did not reach to an agreement for the property lease extension. This extension issue may include COVID matters, but at least not on the surface.

Hard to pay the bills with no income. Sucks for everyone.

@@Ratchy Thx for the info! Change is a universal truth!

Yep. Learned that the hard way during the live stream performances. That sixth band member is missing. That's the crowd in the room so that Saiki and Miku can do call and response with them, and get them to keep the beat with their clapping. That band was so created for the live stage, and to work the crowd.

You need to learn more about Yoyoka. She’s been making original music since she was 8... maybe even 7.

@@WavePotter I am busy trying to keep up with Akane Thank You!

And you gotta love those special intros they do at different shows. It's awesome.

Probably the backing track

@@armynurseboy Yeah, that's what I thought...as it didn't sound like Miku and Kanami wasn't singing. I think that is below Miku's range.

@@ShikataGaNai100 Miku can go low.

Miku can go *ridiculously* low.

Yuck

Four that I know of.

A sound engineer who did an analysis said the mix was fine and that any problems were probably caused by the room.

wow i feel so sorry for you that you actually think that Tom Petty, Springsteen, Prince, and (of all people) Garth Brooks were anything but maybe good live. And you are mistaking playing hard with being talented

@@tommcfall1274 You are clueless.

@@ShikataGaNai100 I don't give a shit about your "onstage log books" or your imagined chops or creds which prove nothing. I triggered some musical morons. Too funny! GFY
