Band-Maid call their outfits battle armor ! They are wearing their newest battle armor in the "Don't You Tell Me" Official Live MV ! Thanks and Welcome =)

"An impossibly hard rocking Maid Band" Is how they list them selves! Five Japanese ladies that will rock your music world!

One of the most refreshing thing about them is how they're like best friends and highly entertaining off stage as well. They could easily have their on TV variety show.

What's to follow this? Be aware that it just gets better. Ten years 120 plus songs 5 Maids and a desire to see more and more. Welcome to BAND-MAID.

Okay, names, pronunciation, nicknames, and roles, in order that they joined the band. Miku Kobato - mee-koo - Kuruppo, the Little Pigeon, the Little Engine Who Will - band founder, backing (and occasionally lead) vocals, rhythm guitar, principal lyricist, tireless Spokespigeon and PR machine. Wielder of weapons grade cuteness. Poker shark and horse racing fanatic. So determined to see her band succeed that she fired herself as lead singer (she decided her voice wasn't strong enough for hard rock), then went looking for a replacement. Learned to play guitar after the band was formed. Definitely eccentric, possibly insane. Kanami Tono - kah-nah-mee - Kanamincho or just Mincho - lead guitar, keyboards, principal composer and arranger. On stage, she's a savant mad riffer with a room temperature IQ and a huge crush on Saiki. In reality, she's a genius, and not just musically- she has a degree in economics with honors. A sweet, motherly woman who turns into a beast when you hand her a guitar. Akane Hirose - ah-kah-neh - A-chan, the Gorilla - drums, sequencing, snacks, the leader the band doesn't have. What you see is what you get- a cheerful jock with a huge appetite who burns off the calories murdering her drums. Completely unflappable. Frequently snacks between songs. Has been known to sign her banana peels and throw them to the audience. MISA - mee-sah - the Barefoot Assassin, MISA MISA MISA! - bass, booze, occasional wet work. Usually stone faced. Barely acknowledges the audience's existence. Always has a beer or a bottle of Jim Beam on her Orange amp. Originally, these were ways of coping with stage fright. These days, that's just how the assassin rolls. Saiki Atsumi - sah-ee-kee (but Psyche is close enough) - the Ice Queen, Sensei, Sai-chan - lead vocals, some lyrics, the "We're done" girl. Fashionista and train nerd. Regards her band mates, especially Kanami and Miku, with bemused exasperation. In total command on stage; hides behind Miku off stage (she's actually kind of shy).

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 are also five of the nicest people in music, without a shred of ego. They are funny and fun and bad-ass musicians to boot. They are currently into their 11th year with the original line up. Btw, Miku the rhythm guitarist (red rose) formed the band. She had the idea of Band-Maid after working as a maid in Japanese maid cafe's. The idea is a concept called "The Gap" - that is what you see (cute maids) is NOT what you get (Hard Rock/Punk/Metal). They take the maid café concept literally. They call their concerts "servings" and their fans "Masters and Princesses". Oh, and Miku is an 810 year old small pigeon. Welcome to the pigeon hole Po!

"What are we going to do today Miku?" "Same thing we do every day Saiki. Try to take over the world... bwahahahahaha....!"

Check out 'Don't You Tell Me' , their newest live video from the Yokohama Arena concert last November. Although it's an older song than this one it's a bit special as you will discover. You will also see them in their newest stunning outfits. A short intro to the band Miku (Small Pigeon) - Rhythm Guitar, second vocals, Lyricist, Band founder Misa (The Barefoot Assassin) - Bass, beer and whiskey Akane (Gorilla) - Drums, Bananas or any food for that matter Kanami (Princess,Kanamincho or Mincho) - Lead Guitar, Genius composer, coffee and cakes Saiki (Ice Queen) - Lead Vocals, Mesmorizing stage performer

Welcome to *Band Maid* !!

You have no idea what you just entered bandmaid is not just a rock band they are a way of life as you will soon see hope you enjoyed the living legends known as band maid DAYDREAMING OFFICIAL MV PLEASE

Welcome to the world of BAND-MAID, my absolute favourite band. Continue down the "pigeon hole" - you won't regret it. 🤘✌

I am in my seventies and this band has brought me so much joy. They are the best band in rock/metal in 30 years from my perspective. I was lucky enough to see them last summer in concert and believe me they are incredible live. Every member gives their soul to the audience on stage. Their fans are a family and love this band and I mean that they LOVE this band. These women are so special and have none of the personality disoreders that almost any other band or performer gets with fame. So many of their fans are outside Japan and in the millions. Welcome Flowers to Band Maid and I hope you join our family!

Welcome to the world of Band Maid!!!!!

Band-Maid rules.

You just heard the best rock band on the planet !!!!! Welcome to the world of Band Maid.....try PLAY LIVE nest and you will be hooked for life !!!!!!!

Having grown-up in the 80's with great Rock and Metal, I can attest that these women would stand their ground with the Legends.

The bass player is Misa the barefoot assassin. Watch her switch from picking to slapping effortlessly. Amazing.

WONDERLAND, live, is a real showcase for SAIKI’s voice. The outfits do change regularly, as you will see in their OMV and live videos.

Hello Flowers After Rainfall, quite a poetic name you have here. Welcome to the world of Band-Maid ! Glad to have you with us on this journey.

We all know that look when we see it, it's down the pigeon hole for you, enjoy the ride po!

Po! Another princess is home! 🥰🕊️

Welcome to the “Pigeon hole”. When you want THE best, it’s Band Maid! 2nd to none. -Thank you Miku!!!

really are the best rock band over the last ten years

Great reaction and the maid outfits create a "Gap" between what you see and what you hear. Thanks for reacting to them, you won't be disappointed. Their image is always as maid and the design is changed when one set is worn out (every couple of years). They just changed design this past Nov. 2023 when they performed their last concert of their 10th Anniversary tour. Also, most of their newer MVs have CC.

Band-Maid are the absolute best rabbit/pigeon hold to go down. You won't be disappointed.

I think a new Princess has joined the Maidiacs! Welcome!

They create new maid outfits "battle armor" when their current ones wear out. They debuted their latest outfits at the 10th Anniversary Tour Final at Yokohama Arena. There are a few official live videos from that okyuji (serving / concert) on the Band-Maid KZfaq channel.

welcome PO

Welcome to the land of the Maidiac.

Such a big smile.... BAND-MAID often has a that effect on people. Try another and see just how far the pigeon hole goes. (You will get the pigeon reference later)

Welcome, FAR. You are embarking on (along with many others - over 190 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 - Shambles, 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, 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 OKYU-JI concerts:  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.  “P and D⁴” Photo Collage videos at www.youtube.com/@PinDakaPanic810 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, 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, 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. And so many great live fancams to watch! Their playing and antics were as fresh and fun to experience from first show to last. BRAVO Band-Maid!!!!! In addition, their Japan tour finished up with 13 concerts, AND they’re writing and recording for their new album. Their 10th Anniversary Tour concluded at Japan’s 17,000 seat Yokohama Arena on Nov. 26, 2023 and in Hong Kong Dec. 21! And their latest 10TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR SPIN OFF concert at KT ZEPP YOKOHAMA on February 22, 2024, where they played songs not performed at the 10th anniversary tour final at Yokohama Arena, was SOLD OUT! The Maids are one of the hardest working super groups in the business! Their music, their sound, each of the Maids, and the love that permeates their live events is an experience not to be missed. Hope you can catch them LIVE!

The journey of a lifetime down the Pigeon Hole 😀 Next - “Daydreaming” - official MV You’ll see another side to them and love it 😍 Take care and rock on 🔥🤘🏼🌍🎸🥁🎤🎹🎶😎✌🏼

Welcome & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 Band-Maid is one of the best bands in our country, especially in live performance. We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". The history is very long and the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Speaking of hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since as early as 1970s : Led Zeppelin / Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Deep Purple (1972), Queen (1975), Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick / Van Halen / Scorpions (1978), Judas Priest (1978/79) and so on. Now, any type of rock can be enjoyed here, especially by many all-female or women-fronted bands. They are daughters of American / European rock, for sure. (Many are grand-daughters in terms of age.) Please explore Band-Maid more and other Japanese bands as well.

Well you've opened the rabbit hole now! Check out their MV for "Shambles" on their channel.

Congratulations on discovering the best band in the world today! The smile on your face throughout says it ALL. Enjoy the ride!! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂🕊

Yes the founder of BAND-MAID MIKU KOBATO rhythm guitar and co-vocal can be a very punny pigeon!!!! GREAT REACTION PO! 🕊🍌🍻☕🚂

Great reaction girl.also your intuition seems to be working spot on.

"Thrill" is the only official video where the girls are all in their maid outfits. MISA (bass player) quickly switched to black dresses and Saiki (lead singer) kept removing maid parts starting with the apron until only the bonnet is left. They also dress as maiko in their alter ego group called BAND-MAIKO.

8:55 - You're in for a wild ride! Here you go, welcome to the BM rabbit hole: Freedom (2020 live) Secret My Lips & Secret MAIKO Lips From Now On (MV) Don't You Tell Me (2023 Yokohama) Dice & Hate? (2023 Lollapalooza) Warning! (MV)

They actually are the best Hard Rock band in the whole world.

The Maid costumes are to create "the Gap" meaning the difference in what you are Seeing, demure maids vs What you are hearing Hard Rock. They refer to their costumes as their "Battle Armor" They toured the US in their 10th Anniversary year as a band. All venue were sold out!! They also performed at Lallapalooza, which is by invite only, becoming the 2nd Japanese band to perform there. Both performances were Hits!! There is video.

Most all BAND MAID songs contain a solo by one or more members. Interviewer: Maid outfits aren’t exactly rock ‘n’ roll. What is your ultimate heavy metal costume? MIKU “Now Band-Maid’s outfits are part of rock n roll, so we pick these!” Interviewer: Why should people listen to Band-Maid? MIKU - “We’re not a pop idol group! Don’t judge us on how we look. We want to blow you away with our heavy rock sound.” DAYDREAMING - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iKmRmLic16_YqY0.html BLOOMING - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q7ukkq1zstXHe4E.html HATE? - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdykfrWLnt7YY3k.html DON'T YOU TELL ME - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibWaZtSJp87NgGg.html

Welcome to the fandom! ♥ these girls! BTW - most their videos have subtitles (CC button) I suggest these BM songs: Thrill, Dice, Bubble. Manners, Blooming, No God (live), Real Existence (live) Onset (live), Don't You Tell Me (Live) & Puzzle (live) BTW - Band Maid & The Warning are big fans of each other

The bass player, Misa, does a "magic trick" with her guitar pick. She tucks the pick between her index finger and palm and then slaps & pops the bass using her thumb and middle finger. She can switch between slapping and picking quickly and seamlessly. An interviewer once asked her what happens if she drops the pick and she replied "I never drop it" and then went on to say that she had not dropped a pick in over two years. Nothing but total confidence from that girl. Some song suggestions for you are Moratorium, No God, Rinne, About Us, Play, Clang, Why Why Why, Onset, From Now On, Without Holding Back, and Don't You Tell Me. Have fun with it!

Great reaction to THE best live Hard Rock band on Earth. 🤘🤘 At 3:30 - MISA, the bassist, Kanami the lead guitarist and composer, and Miku the rhythm guitarist and founder of the band, are playing Hengao - "strange faces" - with Akane the drummer, which is making funny faces to try and put someone off. Akane, of course, laughs along while not missing a beat. It shows the ladies' confidence in each others' abilities that they can fool around like this while all of them slam out note-perfect Rock at full tilt. At 4:16 - MISA the bassist is holding her plectrum in her curled finger so she can produce it and switch from slapping to picking in half a nanosecond! Which you noticed! At 5:30 - Akane the drummer hitting two separate beats on her double kick pedals while simultaneously continuing the song melody on her snare, toms and cymbal. At 6:34 - a brief glimpse of Kanami laying down one sweet rolling chord pattern - pure class.

Welcome to Band-Maid. Your life just changed for the better. 😃

Thanks for reacting to the greatest hard rock band in the world! Their talent and overwhelming joy are what makes me love them so much. I am looking forward to seeing you go down the pigeon-hole.

Super fun and perceptive reaction! If you like fashion, you have to at some point check out the two MVs from their alter- ego Band-Maiko, where they add traditional instruments and are dressed as apprentice geisha (maiko).

Yes, they are singing in English or Japanese. It is deep in their lyrical schtick. Their lyricists (The rhythm guitar/ backup vocals and the lead vocalist) both play with the language differences. These ladies always take everything to the top level, you'll never catch Band-Maid phoning it in, they're all about pushing themselves to the next level.

And a thing about the maid outfits, FAR: as Fans and Maidiacs know, Miku -- the 2nd guitarist, lyricist, founder and who worked at a maid cafe -- wanted to show that everyday working "Kawaii" girls dressed as maids in high heels while having fun and smiling could rock as hard as any guy band sweating it up in their hip, poor tortured artists "outfits"... and by showing that contrast (the Gap), it would generate interest, which it so successfully has done! It also represents Woman Power (Equality), which is an important theme with the Maids. Now they show up as Maids for all band business and interviews, etc. and have created a long-lasting, unmistakable, visual band brand. Very cleaver, Miku. Your diabolical plan for world domination is working, Po! Of course, none of this would work if their music and stage performance wasn't at such a remarkably high level. Band-Maid is considered by many of their fans and Maidiacs to be the best hard rock band in the world - maid outfits and all!

BAND-MAID are a genre unto themselves. They have every kind of song you can think of, drawn from their wide range of influences Punk, Funk, Power Pop, Jazz and Metal. Sometimes overlapping in the same song. Don't like one, move on to the next. They even have soft acoustic ballads and some Japanese traditional thrown into the mix. In the last 10 years they've put out about 150 songs. And usually your favorite BAND-MAID song is the last one you heard. They are, quite literally, The Best Band In The World! No one can touch them musically. They are The Beatles, except born 50 years later, on a different island, as girls. But other then that they are the next Beatles. Welcome to the wonderful world of BAND-MAID! For more BAND-MAID try the Official LIVE Video of 'Don't You Tell ME', or the OMV for 'Shambles'. It was commissioned as the season two closing theme for the Netflix anime, Kengan Ashura. And, if you like anime, try the OMV for 'Unleash!'. It's in anime form.

Thanks for reacting to Band-Maid. You may react to any song by Band-Maid, they have 52 songs on YT of their 120+ catalogue of songs. BM does not have any bad songs, not even a mediocre one, they are writing high quality songs right, left and center. Please react to Unleash!!!!! next, it's from their latest EP named Unleash.

They were one of the first bands that got me into reaction videos. Their fans are called Maidiacs and your subscriber number should go up from them

Miku, the back up singer and back up vocal has a tendency to fall and get bruises. In this video she fall right after 5:27. In the live Freedom video she is also falling.

You should react to their most recent video "Don't you tell me" It is a live video. They are probably the best hard rock band playing now.

They did lay into the Band-Aid pun in their early years, I think. They styled themselves as BAND-MAID®, just like BAND-AID®. But they've moved on to bigger and better things now…

I'm glad you discovered "the Maids" a great rocking all female band from Japan. a great rabbit hole to do down for great rock songs. You mentioned the bass player, Misa is my favorite. Another all female band I'd recommend from Japan is Lovebites. Recommend you check out Shadowmaker (Music Video).

This is the first video of yours I've seen. Band-Maid and The Warning are the top two on my list. Have fun with the maids, May I suggest the live "Don't you Tell Me" next. It's really popular right now but they have 120 plus great songs. There genre is Band-Maid. Bass player = MISA! I'm going to go watch your Warning videos next.

Welcome home Princess!

Band Maid will suck you down the Pigeon Hole and you may never get out, at least I haven't :) Enjoy the journey, they truly are an incredible band. I smile, and sometimes tear up, every time I watch them.

Great reaction! You just listened to the best rock band of all time. I used to think the best of rock and roll was in the past. I go back a few years (decades, yikes!!) and grew up with Van Halen, Rush, Led Zepplin and others. What rock needed was a woman’s touch and these ladies, these beautiful ladies of Band Maid, are it!! Every member is an all-star from MISA at bass, to Kanami at lead guitar, Akane at drums. The vocals (Saiki and Miku) are the best!! Recommend Moratorium for more rock, Onset or From Now On for instrumental, Freedom for a kickass drum solo. Actually, pick any song out of their library and you can’t go wrong. Enjoy the rabbit hole.

Welcome to the Maidiacs. This was my intro to Band-Maid aswell. After some research on my YT-log, I found out that I have a two year anniversary today (march 5th)

"Domination" is right in the middle of Band-Maid's range of styles. They play harder than this, softer than this -- instrumentals, acoustic. But "Domination" is classic Band-Maid. I recommend the instrumental "From Now On" and the recent live performance of "Don't You Tell Me". But anything from them will be great. I could rattle off another twenty songs, and I would not exhaust their outstanding ones. They have over 120 songs, with (I think) all available online as audio on KZfaq, and many available as video.

Band Maid are So awesome and full of energy! I discovered them a few years ago with their song Thrill, you should check that out! You look so happy reacting to them and it is understandable. Btw I believe they are all classically trained musicians... :) And you picked up on the amazing Bassist! Oh and they tend to sing in Japanese and throw in some English here and there.

Can you say. Energy!!!!!! Peace ✌️

Hello FAR (Hello! Hello!) You'll love this band for sure, from what they call the Gap (the contrast between dress and music) to the consistently great songwriting to their amazing performances. Band-Maid has a deep catalog and, incredibly, virtually all of them are great. You might try Don't You Tell Me (live) or Shambles or Unleash (the MV is super-fun!). They also do ballads (Daydreaming, endless story), acoustic (Mirage), and even have a side project you might enjoy called Band-Maiko (try Gion-Cho).

Domination is practically their theme song. On their latest tour they opened almost every performance with it. This video has all their hallmarks. Intricate composition that lets everyone have a turn in the spotlight. The call and response chorus that gets the audience in on the fun. And the part where Kanami, lead guitar, casually walks over to the rhythm guitarist, Miku and "dominates" her. A reminder of Kanami teaching Miku to play guitar. In any case, welcome. you will get many suggestions about which of their compositions to watch. No worries. All tunes are great.

If you would like the rest, please leave a reply.

Miku worked at , what in Japan, are Maid Cafes. what we would think of as a restaurant i suppose and the "hostess/server" would dress as a maid. Miku thought one day " i think i'll start a rock band dressed as maids." and what we love today , Band Maid, was born. Thank you Miku!!

The future of rock/metal is with female bands like The Warning, Band-Maid, The Sixters, Plush, and many more. This song is relentless the entire time. I have no idea what Saiki Atsumi(singer) is saying but it doesn't matter because she is so damn good. Misa(bass) switches from pick to finger to slap/pop technique in this song.

Great reaction. Seems like Band-Maid hit all the spots for you 😄 . Their outfits are changing through the years, and they generally wear them until they are worn out. Domination was their 7th generation outfit. I will give you a list of official Live/MV with their different outfits, ordered from latest to earliest: Current outfit: Don't you tell ME live 2023 (Gen 9) Puzzle Live 2023 (Gen 8) Catharsis acoustic 2021 (Xmas special) Blooming MV 2019 (Gen 6) Bubble MV 2019 (Gen 5) Real Existence Live 2018 (Gen 4) Band-Maiko - Secret Maiko Lips MV 2018 (Maiko special outfit) YOLO MV 2017 (Gen 3) Alone MV 2016 (Gen 2) Thrill MV 2014 (Gen 1)

Band-Maid best hard rock band and Lovebites another all female Japanese band is best heavy metal band

Glad you finally got to them. IMHO the best rock band in the world today.

Roger is taking no prisoners. 🔥🤘🏻🍺 Peace. 3.95

Always B-M makes me happy! Thanks so much!

Next songs: Play, Don´t you tell me live

For quite a few these 5 ladies are at the very end of the food chain when it comes to the best rock music of our time. 😎 Fact is, this is a band like no other! 🔥🤘🏻 Welcome to the pigeon-hole and greetings from Germany. _____________________ 「 _"Our rock never dies ever. Forever!"_ 」 - from *BAND-MAID* - 'Manners' ♬🕊

Loved your reaction. I’m sure someone will give you the background of Band-Maid. They are a force to be reckoned with. There’s so many songs to suggest it’s difficult to pick just one. Something to think about. The recently released album live version of Don’t You Tell Me. I think it would be cool for someone to react to their 2018 live version and the 2023 version back to back.

Oh ... they're in maid outfits ... smile Oh ... they have fun together ... giggle giggle Hey ... that Bass player Wait a min ... they can play I WANT MORE Welcome to BAND MAID "Onset" live - they all get a chance to shine in this awesome live instrumental. "From Now On" just to prove they aren't a "One hit wonder" when it comes to instrumentals (their latest one) "Shambles" their latest studio release. If these don't win you over and makes you want to check out their entire catalogue, nothing will. I'd say your subbies will go through the roof. New Subby from Aust.

Best, hard rock band today!. Have you heard about lovebites? The car theyare the best metal band today

You didn't even give them a chance to charm you before you had a big smile on your face! Ah well, pick another one. It doesn't matter which one, just roll the *"Dice."* You won't *"Hate?"* it.

They also have acoustic songs like Catharsis or Sayonakidori on their official page. Some of their other acoustic stuff luke puzzle and anemone at Zepp Tokyo are floating around on youtube. If you do the acoustic I suggest you do a twofer: the irigional followed by the acoustic. Sayonakidori is sung by the second vocalist and rythym guitar player Miku Kobato aka the Pigeon. You will get that later.

Welcome home. 😁

Band Maid, my #1 Japanese band, followed by One Ok Rock, Wagakki Band, Doll$Boxx and Hanabie. Check out the official version of Daydreaming: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iKmRmLic16_YqY0.html Also, check out Doll$Boxx, another over the top all-girl Japanese band: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/itJkhLGJ06uRiIk.html

This is the best rock band in the world you will understand that if you continue to explore their music. Another great all girl Japanese band is NEMOPHILA but they are a lot heavier so you'd need to like that sort of thing. Try their song Rise iff you want to give them a try.

I'm sorry if I sound silly but your panda hat is so cute and look comfy af!!!
