Domination live video was from the Feb. 2020 Line Cube Shibuya concert with 2000+ people, and this live video was from the Nov. 2023 Yokohama Arena concert with 8000 people.

It's their 10 Year Anniversary Tour Finale at Yokohama Arena. They played for over 3 hours doing 33 songs. Check out the very last song of the tour, 'Endless Story'. It's very emotional.

That wasn't a duel. That was an argument, in keeping with the theme of the song.

I love that she ends the song with “Padum pum”.

“Hate?” is unique in their musical catalog, being the only song with negative lyrics. Everything else is motivational, philosophical or even spiritual. I can’t wait for you to not only experience more of their music, but find out just how sweet and genuine they are.

You can't HATE this performance. Awesome is Awesome. They keep setting a standard that not many bands can even attempt to match the energy, uniqueness, musicality and fun. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Peace. 71

You are correct- Often when a band member is doing a solo they crouch down or kneel. Another form of honouring is patting the head.

Great perception of Kanami and MISA showing respect for each other in their musical conversation 🙂

Even singing about hate...they bring joy ! You gotta love a band that can do this. : ) Real Existence Live , another shredder for you.

Great reaction. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Miku writes the lyrics most of the time but Saiki wrote HATE! She said in an interview that she was really pissed reading in the news about adultery. She was never specific but there was pretty widespread news in Japan about LiSA, a very famous singer in Japan, being cheated on by her husband around the time they composed this. If that guy ever crosses Saiki's path, he better turn and run or he may wind up with Saiki's stilleto heel stuck up his rear end.

Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 I witnessed this very performance at the venue on Nov.26, last year. Very exciting 3-hour-40-minute-long show with 33-song setlist. (Happy fatigue thereafter 😄) Note : They performed this song at Lollapalooza festival in Chicago last year. Just FYI, I went to see a special concert by Band-Maid & The Warning last night in Tokyo. That was amazing and the two bands performed the finale together 😍

You're right again. That was Kanami battling it out with MISA. Kanami is also known as Kanamincho - but she likes to be called Mincho. And here she was in "Mincho-mode."

Really happy you’re enjoying all the band maid. You express the joy I felt when I discovered this band, though you picked it up quicker than my cold dead jaded heart 😅. You said you were trapped in the 2007? Era… I was stuck almost a decade earlier. So many other songs to recommend. Here are some tonally different suggestions: Manners, Daydreaming, Wonderland. If you want a different Japanese band that could be fun. Hanabie is crazy. Try out “Pardon me, I have to go now”

I stayed up all night to watch the live stream of this concert, and it was almost 4 hours with the short breaks,, MC's and Miku's Omajinai (Majic Spell) Time. I wasn't able to sing along like I wanted, everyone in the house was trying to sleep, but I had my headphones on and the volume CRANKED!! And yes Kanami is kneeling to give the spotlight to MISA. All of the Ladies will step aside when the other Ladies are being spot lighted. In Freedom, during Akane's drum solo, all of the other Ladies knelt sat down and cheered her own and tried to hype of the audience even more. And I'm pulling this reference from when the Ladies performed this at Lollapalooza last year and Rolling Stone Magazine wrote up their performance, but paraphrasing, "This is what the wannabes at Guitar Center THINK they look like." I think you would LOVE the OLV of Endless Story on their channel, it is taken from this same concert (Okyuji [Serving]) where they add in an extra verse specifically written for that concert. To show thanks to the fans who support them.

i think the story would have started with choose me, then went to "dont let me down", then "hate" and i guess ends with "start over" although i dont know how anyone could start over after hate. i really need to go though the catalogue to figure out the best story line

I just watched all 3 of your reactions to BM. You are a lot fun and do a great job catching details most reactors miss. I’m looking forward to more of your magic!

Here's a guide to everything BAND-MAID: www.youtube.com/@Ohrenje, Enjoy!

@2:59 Simply put *yes* 🤣😃🙃

They are, at this moment, IMHO, the best band in the world. It makes me very happy that their hard work paid off.

Good call with the "bowing". Most people don't catch that! Such a Japanese thing to do!👊✌️🤘

Thanks for the reaction and comments. A huge shoutout to Roger Chance for spreading the good word. BTW, nice catch...punk is definitely in their DNA. Band-Maid is arguably the best live rock band on the planet. Check out Moratorium (2024 Zepp Tokyo) or the official live videos of the following songs: Play, Real Existence, No God, Puzzle...to name a few. Until next time...Cheers!

Hey Gary I got another shoutout! 🍺🤪🤘🏻

Please check out Puzzle LIVE from Jan. 2023 @ Tokyo Garden Theater. It's also in their official channel. It's a really, really good song! I mean... they all are. Puzzle is in most folks' Top 10 I think. After that, I think something jazzy -- Wonderland LIVE. Wonderland shows off Saiki-san's vocal range. Thank you!

Love these ladies so much, they're helping to save rock music.

Lanae, Welcome to the world of Band-Maid. "Hate?" is an incredible performance by "our" Maids. Thanks Roger, for introducing another reactor to our world. We Maidiacs love them without reservations. Many of us are old rock and rollers (old geezers ,LOL!). But Band- Maid is the most talented, high-energy, cohesive, and high-energy group we have discovered decades. I have been to two of their live concerts. They were worth every penny and hours I spent in line before the show. Band-Maid has over 130 songs in their discography for you to react to. All of us Maidiacs have our favorite songs would suggest you listen to. I have a couple. "Moratorium", the official live video, "Don't You Tell ME", the official live video from that same concert. You mentioned anime. Band-Maid has been commissioned to do the entre or outre in several anime feature films including "Sense" from Platinum End, "Shambles" from a fight manga (I forget the name) and "Unleash" the official music video of a specifically designed anime featuring the Maids as characters. Band-Maid also has provided music for a detective thriller based in Tokyo titled "Kate". The two songs in the film are "Choose Me", and "Blooming", both favorites of the Maidiacs. I hope these suggestions find their way into your reaction VLOG.

Might I suggest a slight change of pace to see another gear from this band. Maybe try a mid tempo more ballady song like Daydreaming or About Us (live), or being a bit of a Saiki stan I would humbly suggest Wonderland (live) to see (hear) Saiki's voice front and centre.

Great reaction Princess Lanae. Your were 100% right about this show. I flew to Japan to see this show and the energy and emotions were through the roof! The show was 3 hours and 40 minutes which flew by so quickly. If you have a chance to see them live, it would be worth your time, even if you need to do a road trip. Your reaction to "10 minutes of limp gymnastics" was priceless. And your enjoyment of the MISA and Kanami "conversation" was and infectious joy to watch. Keep on rocking with the Maids, as their portfolio is deep and diverse. PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘

Whenever one of them has a solo, the rest of them always try to get out of the line of sight of the audience, but I don't know if MISA was doing that or if she just dropped her pick and was picking it back up. ;)

Like and subscribe if you want to 😊❤

They saved rock and roll for this 65 year old metal head. I enjoy your reviews.

Oh honey, you're hooked now.

Thanks so much lovely reaction!

It's amazing how Band-Maid has rewritten the laws of nature: Hate brings Love! 😖--->🎀--->😍 BAND-MAID released a new song, "Bestie," co-written with Mike Einziger of INCUBUS! The MV dropped May 1. BAND-MAID HALL TOUR 2024 - June 28, 2024 (Fri) Nagoya City Public Hall, Aichi, Japan -- July 5, 2024 (Fri) Osaka, Fenice Sakai Main Hall, -- July 14, 2024 (Sun) Kanagawa Kenmin Hall, Kanagawa -- July 21 OSAKA GIGANTIC MUSIC FESTIVAL 2024 -- Aug 16 RISING SUN ROCK FESTIVAL 2024 in EZO -- Aug 17 SUMMER SONIC 2024 Thx, Lanae!

I really love them. They are one of the best rock bands in the world. And. .. don't forget Akane, she's incredible.

best hard rock band on the earth❤️

They will likely tour the US again in 2025. If they do, don't miss it. Their live shows are to live and die for.

You should check out The Warning, on Wednesday June 12th Band Maid x The Warning collaborated on a song “Show Them” which will be on Band Maids upcoming album out this summer. They played the song Live in Tokyo all 8 members on stage together including 2 drum sets 3 guitars 2 basses and singers. It was epic!🤘

👍😁🤘🤗🥰🕊👀

Keep up the good work! You are doing an excellent job!! I suggest Thrill MV next. Also love Don't let me Down MV ~ the Mighty Pidgeon runs amok in Toyko!!!

Love Bites "Holy War" More Japanese women that rock!👊🤘

Just spent 10 days in Japan. Don't speak any Japanese. My GF knows a few phrases. Thank gawd for Google Translate! 😳 Went to the Band Maid & The Warning double concert in Tokyo Was an amazing concert! Both bands played my fave song and they ended the nite with the live debut of their collab song! dbl ♥

Roger is our missionary…..doing maids work 😊🍻

My other favorite Miku besides Kobato-san, plays sax, tenor sax, sometimes leaving me shaken, sometimes stirred. Part of "The Jazz Avengers" with other strong accomplished women musicians, this improv at 5:00 is where I got hooked kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p5aSopSQl9rPpGg.html Don't let Yonezawa-san's frilly dress fool you -- she lays down total baddassery when challenged by the keyboards to Flight of the Bumblebee while improv-ing in Senri's band one night (around 4 min kzfaq.info/get/bejne/md6AfNOfypnOqHk.html). I don't listen to much jazz, groove, funk, or roots blues, but the Jazz Avengers, Tokyo Groove Jyoshi and Shoka Okubu Blues project and any other bands with those members are dragging me, smiling, out of my rut.

What I wanna see is Gary Holloway in the comments. Gary, where ya at?!

I would recommend next for you the song FREEDOM official live video.

Kanami as composer likes fast music and pushes the band, especially Akane, to play fast.

『花冷え。』のリアクションも観てみたいですね〜😊

🤘🤘

The mighty Roger is at it again! This is the ultimate break up song, Taylor Swift take note!

You have a cat - I can tell.

So, you have a cat...
