I'm 63 years old and have heard 100s of "professional" Rock Bands throughout my life here in the U.S. .. none of them have captured me the way this band has .. just something about their sound/musicality talent and energy that for me places them as the best of the best period.

👍×100‼︎ I Love Band-Maid. I Love Mr.Rock'n Roll!!!!!!! from Japan!!!

Nice to meet you. I'm a BAND-MAID fan Japanese. I always enjoy watching it. And when I saw it, it seemed that I liked BAND-MAID, and it was really transmitted to me, and I'm very happy as a BAND-MAID fan. I look forward to it, so please do your best.

Akane (drummer) has said that Kanami (lead-guitar/composer) "made" her work hard on her double pedaling to get up to the scorching 180bpm pace for Blooming and Rinne.

There you go Bro! That is the full force of Rinne! You get the sick pigeon notes, Misa's massive bass, All of Akane's speed and aggression, Saiki's admonishing spirited vocals, grand harmonies and a virtual demolition of a solo and crushing riffs from Kanami! It don't get much better!

I had my first contact with this BAND on Sunday. Since then I listen and look at everything these girls did ... Dude ... I'm a little worried about this obsession hahaha Because it's a huge obsession!

It's like Band-Maid waited for all the good things Rock'n'Roll has been producing since 1950's and then started to craft their own art with the "best of the best" and coming up with some of the best music you can find these days... (what am I saying, not "some of the best" but really THE BEST). All built around and on top of great lyrics, some English that could be looked has "hooks", something you can easily have some idea on what's going on (and then you can always look up for the whole translation...) ... I mean, Miku does a tremendous job with it and has the perfect team to give it the perfect music "wrap"... I really enjoy your reactions as I see you reacting to those little things, Miku's provocative eye contact or just violently headbanging, the wild drumming of Akane, MISA and Saiki's coolness (beside the insane playing skills and Saiki's muscled, unique voice) and Kanami. Man, Kanami is a tiny goddess... also moving between sweetness and wild "hair-on-the-floor" headbanging. It's really the perfect line up, the perfect band. Gosh, I really wish you could watch this latest DVD/BluRay... the way it starts just melts you right from the start. Akane starts with a freaking mind blowing drum solo connecting it to "Rinne"! THAT'S how you start a show from a band that has a song named "Domination"!! As a recommendation, I would insist on "FREEDOM" live in Zepp Tokyo because the song is another awesome one and there is a lot going on between them and Saiki almost in the middle of the crowd, Miku's singing Saiki's part while she comes off the fence... it's a freaking great moment to watch. Second recommendation: REAL EXISTENCE live in Zepp Tokyo (Saiki barefooted like MISA... calling her and having a "little dance") Third recommendation: DAYDREAMING, live or not... it's a very different side of what you've been reacting to so far, a more quite side, but still awesome... and Kanami's solo is one of the most beautiful guitar solos I ever heard in my life (perfect and because of it, too short, it's a piercing beautiful moment...)

This is the culmination of 40-50 years of music history landing in the bodies of five lovely young ladies. Everything from Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, as been absorbed by these ladies and there we go.

This song is so freaking intense, can't help moving my whole body to the beat. I saw them do this song live at Line Cube Shibuya on DvD....it's so good. If any of you have $50 to buy that DvD, it's worth it.

This band is the only one that consistently blows me away. Quickly became my favorite. I absolutely fell in love with Akane and think Misa is a bass goddess. She is the reason I want to finally break down and learn bass.

Mr. Rock N Roll ”WOOOOoooAAAAaaaaaa!” "Heeeeey Yeeeaaaaaaaaaar!" "Daaaaarrrrrrrrrr!" Saiki ”SHUT UP!!!” 　😆

Talent. Talent. Talent. Talent. Talent. Buck loads of charm and shere professionalism!!!

Great reaction. If they played with AC/DC they'd need nurses outfits and come out as Band-Med, just in case Angus has a heart attach while listening to them.

@Mr. Rock N Roll My dream would be to have these ladies properly introduced to the American audience by being the musical act on Saturday Night Live and let's see jaws break at how phenomenal these Petite Japanese Ladies rock better than 99% of the so called rock stars.

Such a nice combination of "sass" and.... I dunno "spunk" maybe? Part of what makes Band-Maid so great is how on the one hand it's really hard to define, but on the other hand it's really easy: these ladies ROCK super hard with skill and finesse and energy that feeds back onto itself somehow, and transfers itself into the listener. Such a rare and unique combination that very few bands have been able to pull off, energy with emotion but without the "darkness" that usually comes with such a heavy heavy sound.

Dude i think u would love NINGEN ISU - Heartless scat,

I think this could be the best rock song in the world - bar none!!!! Absolutely brilliant, genius at work. Shut up!!

@Mr. Rock N Roll: If you haven't been told yet, Band-Maid are scheduled to play Budokan in February of next year. Budokan is a pretty large venue (maxes out around 14,500 people), and getting to play there is kind of a "You made it" moment for bands in Japan. The first band to ever play there was the Beatles in 1966. Barring anything untoward from the COVID situation, there are a good number of international fans (including a couple of us from here in Atlanta) that are planning going. You should look into it.

I used to think this kind of rock n roll was dead, but clearly it simply moved to Japan, I’m so happy, I’ve found something new worth listening to,

It's my first time listening to BAND-MAID's song. Very impressive!

how is it even possible that japanese women this cute can rock this hard? am i dreaming or is this even real? gotta see them live so my pathetic life can be complete!

Hi I ‘m MAID fan. I just also found a new JP female rock group named NEMOPHILA but they are similar faces from other bands for a while.They released the first single “OIRAN (KZfaq VER.)”which I like you to do reaction. I think you gonna love them also.

At this point, AC/DC should open for them.

I love akane because everything she has achieved was with practice and more practice is a girl who always makes you smile

2:44 the face you make when you're headbanging to a band-maid song and they change the tempo 🤣

Something about this song and Onset specifically thats made me blown away from just Miku's rhythm guitar, as if there wasnt enough to be blown away with otherwise from the band. This is a rare band in that the sum of the parts are greater than the whole. I can't say I love Band-Maid so much as I love Saiki, Miku, Akane, Kanami, and MISA both individually and togrther at the same time. They are on a different level.

There we go! Another great reaction. At that Shibuya gig they grabbed you by the troat and nearly killed you within 3 songs: 1) Rinne 2) Blooming 3) Screaming I am still amazed about Kanami, how such a sweet and adorable lady can be so brutal on that guitar! And towards Akane. She made her practice hard to reach 180 beats per minute on the double peddal. Hard love, but man....what a good love.

Hi mr r&r ,, I know I’m messaging you late on this but I find myself constantly looking at old vids , I am a massive band maid fan from Australia and can’t get enough of our Angels,, raised on zeppelin, black Sabath and of course deep purple ,,, well all my old albums are gathering dust now ,,, these Japanese ladies have stolen my heart and I’m so glad to be alive to see this transition in rock music,, I love all the girl bands there ,,, started out with baby metal then came Aldious,, Bridear ,, now band maid ,and now we have nemophilla,, you know there are many others ,, I love your reactions .. keep safe Robby Aus 😎🥁🎸🎤🧛‍♀️👍

Mr. Rock N Roll....It's time to see Miku on lead vocals. "Rock in Me". And maybe their best MV "Choose Me"

Puzzle Live...Puzzle Live....Puzzle Live!

Hahaha! Wait till you hear the last line of "Start Over".

Ah much better, the last video was good but this is the best version of the song. As fun and heavy as they can be, I think you should check out some of their acoustic songs. The acoustic version of "Puzzle" is pretty good and you get to hear Kanami on back vocals!

Started with a few songs, then started to buy albums, then preordering and anticipating the next. Have not been disappointed, as it's been a while since I've been able to pop in an album a just let it play...

These girls are amazing one of the best rock bands around around. Only been a fan for around 2 years. There are so many other cool bands not just in Asia but around the world you are missing out on at the moment. Great channel by the way

This is a great song to have in your running playlist for all you runners out there.

Oh OH!!!! Someone just got blown away by the excellence of Band Maid!!!!

AC/DC got wiped out my a meteorite called Band Maid.

Mr RnR , sadly we’re not going to see AC/DC again, So Band Maid will certainly do 🤘🤘all on their own

Soooo....why aren't you subscribed to Band Maid yet??? LoL!!! Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!

I've probably watched the Line Cube Shibuya disc about 6 times already, sometimes even having it play back to back in one sitting. It's definitely worth the purchase. Rinne is the opener and the live version kick ass!

Great reaction! Do 'Puzzle' (Live) -- easily one of their top songs. 'You' (Live) is a banger too. Man, there's too many to list, but you'll probably go through all of them by some point in time :)

Of course we want more Band Maid!!! The band is incredible and your reactions are awesome! I've watched every single one of them lol!

Personally I didnt have a problem with you opting for the TV performance for this song, yeah it meant you missed out a bit but it was also one of the rarest of Band Maid videos - one that I hadnt already watched. Now though surely it has to be time for Freedom (Live) though...

Mr Rock n roll you are absolutely my favorite reactor! Always positive and entertaining! Stay safe now thanks

If AC/DC came on after Rinne, they would have to say "Well, I guess we are going to slow things down a bit..." 😀

Thanks for listen to us and doing this second reaction!🙂

Challenge: watch a Band-Maid live video without pausing it! I dare you Mr. Rock N Roll! 😁

This is a Fuckin sledgehammer of a track!!!! You're right about them supporting bigger western acts (If Australian ACDC is western), I've often thought it would be a good move for them. It would really up their profile and be and a hell of a show too!!😁

Great reaction as always love your channel. Rock and metal are still alive.

Rinne, in which Akane stops giving a shit and just goes ham for an entire song.

Great react as always Mr Rock N Roll. A suggestion for you that I think you will enjoy immensely. React to Band-Maid Secret My Lips - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z7yllsRou5OZdZc.html - Then react to Band-Maiko Secret Maiko Lips - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLR4eqRz3NPJZWQ.html Trust me on this one. You will be glad you did. ETA: The line "It's sink or swim, shut up." was written by Miku, not Saiki.

Is it possible for a band to be this great?holy...!

Thanks! The production of this video is crazy. I have seen one or two live clips of this and it doesnt sound close to this dirtiness!?

If you focus on Akane the whole time, it's just incredible!

Necesito ver a BandMaid en vivo, son impactantes. Good Video Bro !

Band maid puzzle live 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

I think you better react to their whole live shows. Especially the Zepp Tokyo ones. 2 hour non stop reaction. I bet your chair will be nothing left and your door will get slammed multiple times 🤣. 1) Puzzle (Live) 2) Non fiction days (Live or Official MV) 3) Alone (Live or Official MV) 4) All Zepp Tokyo songs other than Moratorium, Onset, Play, Don't you tell me in which you have already reacted to

Interestingly Band Maid never open for any big name rock bands or singers so far.... anyway they don't have to do that... they can stand and handle on their own.... no problem.... anyway... great reaction once again... I enjoy your reactions so far.... keep it up!!!

My girl saiki

AC/DC snore !!

now is the right video :D great and thanks! :D

良いリアクションだ😃😊❤️

Yesh, yesh more Bando-Maid Mr. Pass Out guy! More of kuruppo please /,,/

All the talented girls 😍❤️ Kanami-san is mine 🤘 I don't know, why women who playing rock music they are very intresting.. that's amazing 🔥🔥🔥

Yo next One the non fiction days live!!!

Thanks a lot for reacting to rinne!!!!! You can try band maid- order mv Thats a live one

You might have to give Miku Kobato some half credit on that quote, since she usually writes most of the lyrics for the songs. Saiki gives the best delivery though!

Your Reactions are so freaking good 😂🤘 you should hear the song „glory“of them it will melting your Brainholes 😂

I think this song just won me over to Band-Maid

Kanami showing off a little.✔

You really should check out BAND-MAIKO / secret MAIKO lips. It's an April fool joke from the band that became a real thing because of how popular it was with the fans. I think you will really like it!

All of their music videos are good You should do a marathon band Maid video However I still highly recommend daydreaming, bubble or start over

Every band should have this much fun!

The other day you did the TV performance of this song. If you can find an adequate live version of this. Keep the band maid coming ! Also I don't think you have reacted to yet. But maybe check out the songs Bubble, Daydreaming and Before Yesterday.

These Girls are just AWESOME!!!!! 😁

Where is Band Maid getting all this attention from? There must be dozens of reaction videos just from the last couple of weeks. Most of their US shows were in tiny clubs over the last couple of years. I'm getting the feeling they just need one more boost to put them over the top in the states. Maybe opening up for a bigger act or getting on a late night show with this sonic onslaught of a song.

If you like Akane on drums, try this one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hK2JoJmn3MqofXU.html It's a compilation of her drum solo's from their Show 02/14/2020

Next band maid "Screaming"

Again I still can NOT believe they are ALL kids ?!? I have NEVER heard anything like this before. 😲😲😲🤯🤯🤯🤘🤘🤘 I , I , I, DUH !

Saiki is The Sass-quatch! 😋 Heath - go to Floor's channel and watch the new song she's recorded. Turn subtitles on, and grab a box of Kleenex. I lasted 30 seconds before I cried my eyes out. It is beautiful. 😢

I've never heard someone say Saiki sings with "sass" before this, but I fucking dig it. The Queen commands, and we all obey

Band Maid Is perfect... Una banda profesional en todo sentido.

I thing its time for the acoustics, What do you thing comment section? Links: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pJ2IatSku5qUpZs.html

Phil Robertson in your quote list? Aw man, that's a bummer :'c Still loving the reactions, my dude, and can't wait until you see "Secret MAIKO Lips"! You'll love their new outfits, I guarantee!

Akane should have a statue in the middle of Tokyo built for her. She is just the best there is.

Love your reactions! Would love to see you react to the best singer in the world named “Dimash”. I recommend 3 songs in this order to get you started: SOS (the version he sang live on the Chinese singing comp “the singer”), Sinful Passion (on his KZfaq channel) and Olympico (on his channel, WorkdSkills 2019). I’m sure you’ll love it!!

Here is one for you. Now it is on my facebook, doesn't mean it's not worth to check out and do again a great reacion on it. For this one, this is for all Akane-lovers out there! The Beast Is Going Wild! Song name: Freedom facebook.com/frans.hendrix.3/videos/1832612650239729/

Thank you sir may I please have another?!👍🤘😆

How good is the song writing in this song.

Sounds like the intro of an Uber Badass anime, and heaven and Hell That Drummer

I have a thought about a band I haven't heard on here or any other reactor channel. How about Slash's Snakepit? I'm thinking the song Mean Bone...or Ain't Life Grand...or Beggars and Hangers On. Give it a shot, it's worth it.

lol yes, the "right" version. Rin(like Rin-rin or rim with a n)+Nay. found this "just for fun" video... Band-Maid Rinne+Rinne lol(note Ring-horror collab) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oat0Y5yeq5mYfZ8.html

Love it

Ree-nay, Mr Rock N Roll

I wanna see the world where old broken ass sounding guns and roses opens for the maids lol

So what's your honest opinion about their singer vs Su-metal? Not necessarily who's better, but other than personalities, what makes them stand apart from each other to you? Power? Stage presence? Vocal talent? Etc? I've been hearing a lot of comparison the last couple years and I'm getting curious and want to see a collab 🤣

Wow!

dude do ROCK IN ME !!!

So you've gotten the japanese flu! Worry not, it comes only with an intense desire to headbang. BTW, you can check Aldious, the current drummer is the step daughter of Mr. Terry Bozzio.

Maybe give blood stain child (band name) S.O.P.H.I.A. (song name) a shot they are another japanese band . I think you might enjoy it for the mashup of electronica and metal.
