What song should I react to next?! Every week I will be choosing one of your song suggestions from my Pot of Gold! Just chip in & include your song suggestion! Here’s a link to my Pot of Gold - paypal.me/pools/c/8v1pWTFksq 🤍🤍🤍

Yes, i think it´s almost scary how good they are and they are getting even better and better... Songwriting from Kanami is NUTS, Saiki and Miku are such a great vocal duo, Misa and Akane rocking the hell out as the rhythm section! IMO they are the best band overall right now, doesn´t matter if it´s rock, metal or what so ever... Their song structure is so unique and refreshing and on top of it all, they really having fun together, loving their fans a lot and always working so hard to get better, writing more songs, doing music videos, doing liveshows... There is no holding back, i think they gonna reach an HUGE status after this COVID is over and they can tour again, i am so happy i discovered them a long time ago, saw them growing (blooming) and that more and more people can experience this great music, especially at these tough times right now! Band-Maid is what the world needs right now... Greetings from Germany, stay healthy and thanks for your reaction.

Akane has said that Kanami "made" her work hard on her double pedaling to get up to the scorching 180bpm pace for Blooming and Rinne. Morphing from Gorilla to *Drumzilla!* It really shows on the new album with some 220 bpm!

Yea this one is my favorite song of BAND-MAID it has everything. 👉 Akane: wicked drumming thru out the song. 👉 Kanami: insane guitar solo. 👉 Saiki / Miku: Vocal harmonizing. 👉 MISA: Bass breakdown. 👉 Breakdown section at the end. Overall a Masterpiece! *Blooming the gateway drug of BAND-MAID!!!*

This was the very first B-M song/video I heard 🤯!!! Instantly hooked, they're now an obsession 😜!!!👍👍🤘🤘🤘

Band-Maid always "takes me somewhere far away" - songwriting skills on steroids with Blooming. Seriously, that drop off from the solo to those beautiful harmonies "take me somewhere far away" gives way to the main theme, but in the outro makes a reappearance ON TOP OF the main theme and they go together perfectly!! It brings a tear to me eye! (insert Irish accent there)

"Wonderland" live version please. Kanami wrote this song for Saiki, to shine Saiki's voice and to show her ability.

Question "What your favourite Band-Maid song?" Answer "It is the last one I listened to.

Part way through and she likes the tapping and vocal harmonies🤔.....can’t wait for the last half muahahahaha! 🤘😀🤘

How can they be so talented? Because they work harder than most people ever will. Miku worked to learn guitar from 0, practicing for hours a day. Saiki continues to take singing lesson. Miss also is still taking bass lessons to get better. And I don't doubt that Akane and Kanami are also constantly improving and working hard. They're an inspiration. If you go back and watch early live videos they've come super far and just keep getting better.

Incoming BAND-MAID video!?! Nice reaction, Clodagh Kate. These ladies amaze me every single time.

I'm a Japanese BAND-MAID fan. I'm very happy to remember the names of the members!

Blooming is one of my Top 10 Band-Maid songs. It is such a beautiful and well composed song and so full of emotion (even though I don't speak Japanese). When they break down into the "Far Away... Take Me Far Away From Here" part I lose it. Also, this video is just an awesome work of art in its own right. The visuals, while simple, are absolutely stunning and the color changes that coincide with song changes are amazing.... especially the strobe effect during MISA and Kanami's solos. LOVE IT! Keep up the good work and be sure to buy a ticket for their February 11th online OKYU-JI (concert or serving as it is called). It will be their Budokan set list... over 2 hours of Band-Maid at the zenith!

If you want traditional Japanese vibe, try Gion Cho! If you want soft rock, choose me If you want another funky rock like Manners, try Bubble.... If you want ballad, Day Dreaming If you want acoustic, try Puzzle acoustic as well as original rock version If you want erotic lyrics, try Don't let me down ( in Eng) if you want Cutie poppy song, try any Miku's old song If you want Pop rock, first two albums.... the list goes on....

Hi Kate, Band-maid is like a pinwheel chart of different colors : only the colors represent the type of rock they do. Blooming will always be a dear Band-maid classic for me.

For this song, Kanami says that she had asked each of the members to contribute some piece of music and then she stitched it all together. I think the part after the solo where it drops into those lush harmonies ("somewhere far away") was Miku's.

Akane's name is pronounced "Ah-kan-eh". "Blooming" is an insanely good song. I'd recommend "Endless Story" for more beautiful harmonies you'd really love.

Thank you for supporting BANDMAID! They released new song 'about Us". Audio only(Spotify maybe?), but it is a beautiful song! Please try it also. It is a different side of BANDMAID.

One of their best, talk about a true eargasm..... at the end Kanami shredding, Saiki and Miku harmonizing with MISA and Akane chuggin' away in the rhythm section.....a damn Masterpiece if you ask me. MISA IS the Bass Slide Queen.

I had to take a couple days after first viewing this. You blow my mind. Very well deconstructed. You point out things I would have missed. Great reaction, Thank You.

When you first mentioned Kanami's tapping, I had a good laugh knowing that it was just a teaser for the song's finale. :) Each one of these ladies is an equally strong pillar in the Band-Maid construct, so thank you for mentioning Saiki and Miku as well. With all the talent on the instruments, the two voices of the band tend to get too little attention. Unjustly, in my opinion. They fit really well together and are the best for this band. 【 'Our rock never dies, ever. Forever!' - Band-Maid 】

The acoustic version of "Puzzle" is yet another side of Band-Maid. @t

Simply the best band around.

Kate, thanks for nice reaction! Loved to see you liking it very much, as this is the song I got pulled in the pigeon-hole and made me a Maidiac😍

I think its time you started to look at some of their Live performances, My favourite is Play, followed by Real Existence Freedom, Domination. Onset Is also amazing, though it is an instrumental.

I envy you that you still have so much more to enjoy and discover yet with these oh so talented ladies.

Love this song. Loved your reaction. And Band-Maid is probably going to release a new MV in 25 minutes’ time.

Thanks for the reaction 😊 If there's a perfect song for me, this one comes pretty close. Definitely in my top 3 Band-Maid songs. And Kanami is not only a guitar virtuoso and ingenious composer, but also so cute and lovely when you see her off-stage, like in interviews.

ALL the Band-Maid songs are my favorites! Lol! So want to see them Live! God Bless!

Thanks Kate, great reaction ! Another different style of them: MV - Start over on their channel.

Nice reaction. Don't forget, later Band-Maid will release another new MV. Happy days ahead.

You had me at blooming. This was the 1st new release for me after listening to Band maid for a couple of months. I bet you would like Band Maiko (Secret Maiko Lips and Gion-cho).

thank you and glad you really liked the song. It's been my fav for awhile, and no nobody seemed to notice why, but you were the first - Saiki's harmonies with Miku and the post Kanami solo let air back into the room, and Kanami's solo defies belief, Misa bassing her way into glory when Saiki starts the fast rap singing, and AKANE the drumming beast keep them all in order. I was literally crying a bit just before Kanami's solo when the tubes were red as I knew her guitar was going to be epic. 😂😋😍😎

You need to react to Band-Maid live. Freedom, domination, onset.

They have such a vast catalog of music over such a short time. This band is so underrated and under appreciated. They are special together

And they just released a new one called "about us"

basically WHY we LOVE BandMaid ;)

So much comes together in this song. 😳 Great review!

These girls are showing the world how to rock!

needed another fix BLOOMING WOW still an epic song. BYE you 've reviewed them all, so think we must wait a bit.

legit band maid will always make you feel this way, pick any song and it will blow you away on the first listen

I really wish you could get a copy of "Puzzle" accoustic and do a back to back with the regular version. You would love them.

Excellent reaction Kate - I loved it! In particular I really liked it when you drew our attention to Kanami playing lead under the vocals which added lots of sound combinations. Because of that I was more open to listen at the end of the song where Saiki and Miku were singing and again Kanami added some lead support. I got the feeeling in this part that Kanami‘s guitar was acting like a third voice to go with Saiki and Miku. Many thanks for increasing my listening capability. Keep em coming! ❤️

Wow, Blooming is one of their top compositions, specially for Saiki's speed singing. So different then "Daydreaming" or Gion-Cho, isn't it?

All the songs of BAND-MAID are the best! Please spread it to the world more! BAND-MAIDの楽曲はどれも最高です！ もっと世界に広めて下さい！

speechless⚡️ "BEST BAND🎀" daydreaming please💝

The top 5 band-maid songs I think are: 1:Choose me 2:Manners 3:Blooming 4:Onset (instrumental) 5:Daydreaming So I want you to react “Choose me”. This song has two versions (Live video & MV) and I love both!

Subscribed! Where's my pot of gold? :P Love the reactions and I love Band-Maid!

I'm glad to hear you mention our beloved pigeon, Miku. She doesn't get near the respect or accolades she deserves. She's the hardest working member of Band-Maid.

For next, You must react their live versions that will give another insight of BandMaid. For instance, freedom, domination, etc.

Watching this while waiting for the new BAND MAID to drop lol but yeah Blooming is def one of my favorites. Its sooo good lol

Your favorite Band Maid song is the one you're currently listening to. I thinkyou would like Wonderland (live) as a showcase for Saiki's vocals. The BRAND NEW song (not even out worldwide yet) is Saiki making your cry for real with her emotion. It is a love letter to the fans called "About Us".

🤘🤘❤🤘🤘 MISA MISA MISA!!!! 🤘🤘 Fantastic!!! Hello from Northern California!!!! 🤗❤✌

Misa is the Barefoot Bass Assassin.... lol Yeah, she is a complete monster on the Bass. There are a couple of videos of just her bass solos. She was the reason that I discovered Band Maid. There are so many layers to them that you are right, everytime you are discovering something new.

back again BLOOMING is still mv fav song after a year, and Daydreaming is the most beautiful, and all are talented but Kanami writes the music and think all of this greatness is in her head - I think she is the secret sauce to their greatness. BYE

Hello Kate, Great Band Maid reactions! If you haven't seen any of their live performances, I strongly suggest one like "Freedom" live from their 2020 Shibuya concert. Here is the link from their official site: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fK6gqKiisqfHdJs.html Great albums, but even better live performances!

Oh, you like the softer side of BAND-MAID. You should check out the acoustic version of 'Puzzle', or 'Before Yesterday' or 'Daydreaming'. Or even try their songs as BAND-MAIKO ''Secret Maiko Lips' or 'Gion Cho'. .

if you want to appreciate Saiki's voice, listen to Daydreaming =)

You still need to do some LIVE Band Maid, music to another level (Freedom is my favorite live)

Band Maid is one of the top five finds I've seen through KZfaq. They just make you smile. There are two songs that I haven't seen here as a singer you'll be asking why didn't you know about these bands. (Much like folks do when they see Band-Maid for the first time.) Of course Nightwish -Ghost Love Score Wacken 2013 Live, one of the most reacted to songs and secondly you will be amazed by Unleash the Archers - Awakening Full Band Playthrough. Both singers have opera training and are fantastic in their own way. Don't be too distracted by that pot of gold that you miss these =)

Thanks Clodagh Kate!

Band Maid doing Band Maid things!

New song is out on streaming services. Called “about us”. Beautiful beautiful ballad... and Saiki’s vocals once again...I think you’ll enjoy listening to this one.

If you want something different, try the acoustic version of 'Puzzle. '

you should check out "daydreaming" for their softer side. Another great reaction

This is one of my favorites too. But then again I have a lot of favorite bandmaid songs ✌🏼

They’re like a thoroughbred when the gate opens.

You should check out Band-Maid - About Us

I was going to say it looked like it had been a while since you did a Band-Maid reaction, but then I saw you haven't done any reactions at all since around the same time. Is everything okay? I understand the need to step back and take a break from things, but these days it's all too easy to imagine something bad has happened, you know? I've really enjoyed your reactions, and I hope to see more of them in the future, but more than that I hope you and yours are doing as well as you can. Take care and stay safe.

"Blooming" is a top 5 for me..."Daydreaming" No.1 for personal reasons...and it's awesome as is...."Real Existence" is No.2..LOVE the MV...Akane going "Animal" (Muppets) on the drums..Kanami hopping about like a frog on a hot tin roof...just wonderful!.....The LIVE at Zepp version is sooooooo rockin!..Though not writen by the ladies..they really make it theirs...one of their best LIVE performances as far as I am concerned.....Well with saying that...Where are you?...not been on in some time....I hope you are ok...The ladies have had new EP out since then...called "UNLEASH!!!!!"...An released 3 videos from it...the title tack..which is partial anime..And "Influencer".....in the past couple of weeks...."From Now On"..and instrumetal...Hope to see you react to these soon.

Just a note on name of Akane: Ah-KAH-neh Soft A, acCENT on the seCOND sylLABle

Love Band Maid, and love Kanami.. Her guitar here, Puzzle, and Daydreaming is just incredible. Her talent on the guitar, and composing songs is just incredible. She is in my favorite guitarists of all time. Right there with EVH, Slash, Neil Schon, John Petrucci, Cris Olivia, David Gilmor, Jimmy Page, Carlos Santana who she says is an influence of hers. And many others for me. Misa, just great. Akane and Tamu in Nemophila are my current favorite drummers. Both there with Bonham, Michael Derossier, Meil Peart, Michael Portnoy for me. And Jimmy Page caught Band Maid live in Tokyo, and did a photo with Akane, basically calling her the new Bonham. Nemophila is another japanese band i love.

You need to revisit Band-Maid and react to "Choose Me". Coincidentally, this song was featured in the Netflix assassin movie, Kate (2021).

Compared to most other bands, a solo in Band-Maid is just anytime others aren't playing! Their music is so full and rich with content.

Irish react to "Yolo" another song of them with many variation throughout the music. 😉

Please support BAND-MAID buy their CD's and Blu-Ray's I have. If we don't support them, they could disappear and that would be bad for all of us.

I think you are in deep enough to get into their live Performances...Domination, Freedom, Wonderland. I can't wait!

Greetings. Live is the best of them,dont miss it.

Every new song you hear will be your favorite song. Their soundscape is vast!

Hi! Kate, I'm a Band-Maid fan, of course. As you may know, all over the world We call our fans Maidiacs. And I distribute the content on KZfaq. It's not a reaction video, but it's like a radio show Band-Maid's great songs and performances in a style like I'm talking while making BGM. The number of Band-Maid reactors has increased tremendously recently. Of course, it's the greatness of their songs, the talent of their performances, Above all, there are many high aspirations for their music. Attract people. I knew you as one of those reactors Now, Mr. Kates, from the bottom of my heart for your reaction Agree. Because you've ever been reacting The opinions I have given are completely in sync with my thoughts. What you recently said "My Band-Maid Joueney" I strongly sympathized with it. Because I was thinking of exactly the same words. And I was very impressed. My channel is a small community No one is as registrant as you, but still a lot of comments I have received it. Some people will tell you about you. I will continue with Band-Maid Journey. Your reaction too I'm looking forward to it. Finally, I'm sure many Maidiacs recommend you, I also have their best live performance in 2020, "FREEDOM" is recommended. They smiled all the time and with a lot of audience If you look at how they are united, you will surely be more and more this JOURNWEY I'm sure you want to continue. We support you in the future. It's all in Japanese, but please listen to my program as well. You can also listen to early band-made songs. Thank you! I support you. FREEDOM kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fK6gqKiisqfHdJs.html My Program "ALL YOU CAN" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lbGfqJWEm8W-oqc.html

You need to see their live performances and be blown away. Just pick one they’re all good. If you want to see their musical talents I’d recommend instrumental“Onset” live.

Listen to the song "glory" That's my favorite song of BAND-MAID

My opinion changed after listening to more band maid but I think for a good 3 months I was like this is the best band maid song ever. I was pretty blown away

日本より何時も見ていますが、クールダウンの素晴らしさなど、BAND MAIDの才能が溢れている。

Hi from the UK 🇬🇧 something you might like to check out the band is called Nightwish it's a symphonic metal band from Finland with a Dutch singer floor jansen (the vakyrie) This band has a massive following in Europe and the Internet Nightwish ghost love score wacken open air concert 2013 And prepare for the Nightwish army arriving at the door 🚪 lol 😆

I love your Band-Maid reactions. You say what is in my heart :) Just so you know Akane is pronounced ah-KAH-NAY Keep it up

No God (instrumental) : www.bilibili.com/video/BV1aK4y1H7K8 Giovanni (instrumental): www.bilibili.com/video/BV1DX4y1P76N

Hope you are doing well Kate. Take care!

If you want great vocals, check out Daydreaming too. It's Band-Maid doing U2 better than U2. Irish blasphemy? lol Honestly it's a fantastic ballad. I also like Endless Story. I know some didn't like when they went "soft" but no matter what, Band-Maid is going to do it better than anyone else!

Songwriting. YES. Composition and arrangement. I appreciate it even more than their performance, which is excellent. Check out DICE, I have a feeling that you'll love it.

Next, "Wonderland" .

You seriously Should Check Gion Cho by Band Maiko. Its really different and the Video is Mindblowing. And the Band looks great in very Expensive Kimono s

Saiki can spit out words faster and faster. I fully expect her to have one long beautiful tone without gaps. Rapping? Not what I class as rapping but there is an argument. I would love for you to sing a song as fast with your beautiful Irish lilt. I am in whenever you want to do one. It would be exceptional I am sure. Great reaction to a great band.

MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! thats why shes known as the Bass Assassin she kills it every time .

Please comeback for more reaction vids lady... We missed you so much

I love the way you say guitar. =)
