I must have heard Kanami's solo about a million times by now, but somehow I'm never ready for it. Hits me right in the feels. Every time! 😍🤘

Yes, it's a break-up song and there are more where that came from. "Puzzle", Sayonakidori" OTOH: they also do stay together songs like "Endless Story" or "Wonderland" Nobody does a heart-wrenching song like Band-Maid. This is one of their many strengths. I can't think of any weaknesses. I can't think of any other band that puts as much intelligently directed effort into their songwriting as Band-Maid. They are a songwriting machine with all the knobs cranked past eleven and the master switch fused to the closed position. Their two lyricists work bi-lingual magic: follow the translations, the writing is brilliant. Their lead guitar and composition lead has some very interesting and creative ideas on group songwriting. They write songs that bring tears to your eyes, a smile to your face, and inspiration to your heart. This band writes thank you notes. For smiles: "Afterlife", "Influencer", "No God", and watch them do "Dice / HATE?" live. Really, this is the only band I can recommend that you visit their KZfaq channel and listen to anything they've posted. It's all good. Band-Maid demonstrates consistent brilliance.

You were pretty quick to catch the melancholy from Kanami's guitar. There are flashier and more bombastic bands, but not very many that can make you feel as deeply as they do. Yeah, "feel my soul" - Kanami takes her PRS and makes you feel her soul.- and you can barely talk afterward. *"Play"* (live) if you want to feel upbeat, or keep your ears open for a new song *"Magie"* sometime next year. _"Everybody dance!"_

I was curious to see how K-pop fans were reacting to BAND-MAID's songs, so I decided to take a look. Thank you for the fun reactions. They really perform themselves, and the members also write and compose the songs. Next time when you listen to their songs and notice their great talent, please praise them.

Band Maid.... best served Live.... while the music videos are quite good.. no one elevates their game like the Maids do when they take the stage.... I highly recommend you pick any of the official Live videos off their channel, sit back and experience true talent...personally I would recommend Puzzle , Freedom, Manners / Black Hole... pick one and release the hounds...

English lyrics Daydreaming, don’t wake up Nothing I can do with my hoarse voice Be close to me just for tonight Hold on, feel my soul Swayed in the moonlight The shadows of two people cross Clumsily entangled They wished for the night to get brighter It may be wrong Even though I think it’s speeding up I want to still believe I want to feel more living this moment (Daydreaming, dreaming of you) (Daydreaming, dreaming of you) So I’m daydreaming, don’t wake up Nothing I can do with my hoarse voice Be close to me just for tonight Don’t go I want to daydream, don’t vanish away We cannot go back, I don't want to lose you Be close to me just for tonight Hold on, feel my soul The distance that makes us feel our sighs Is somehow so dear to me The shadows of the two who started moving Melt in the brightening night It may be wrong Even though I think it’s speeding up I want to still believe I want to feel more living this moment (Daydreaming, dreaming of you) (Daydreaming, dreaming of you) (Daydreaming, dreaming of you) (Daydreaming, dreaming of you) So I’m daydreaming, don’t wake up Nothing I can do with my hoarse voice Be close to me just for tonight Don’t go I want to daydream, don’t vanish away We cannot go back, I don't want to lose you Be close to me just for tonight Hold on, feel my soul

Welcome aboard, Kat. You are embarking on (along with many others - over 188 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 (125 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 like Sense, Glory and Unleash (from their own Anime MV (series?)): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bbJykqiBuJqceHk.html) And many songs are represented with 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” 30+ Photo Collage videos at www.youtube.com/@PinD2/videos 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 an awesome, little known "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009 Band-Maid Members: Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “StarQueen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 29 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 just 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 is finishing up with 13 concerts, AND they’re writing and recording for their new album. Their 10th Anniversary Tour concluding at Japan’s 17,000 seat Yokohama Arena on Nov. 26, 2023 was incredible! And just announced: Hong Kong Dec. 21! 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!
