Band Maid Rocks! They really show their true form live.

Dudes, you get major bonus points for picking up the progressive elements in Band Maid 🧮 If you liked the music video, then you would be shocked at how the completely outperform it in the live setting. 🤯 You may be properly impressed. Maybe even curious. I double dirty dog dare you to check out their instrumental “From Now On.” And I’m sending bribery your way as encouragement 😂 💵 I’m really wondering what sort of adjectives you’ll use after hearing “From Now On?” 🧐 🤓

Band Maid! 🍺🥴🤘🏻

Best Rock Band on this planet!!

Welcome to *BAND MAID!* My suggestion would to next check out a live song.. this song is even greater live. They have some 130 songs going back to to 2013. Enjoy the journey *PO!* 🤘❤‍🔥🤘

It was not a studio set up. They played in the main hall of a real temple which has about 400 years of history. This MV was a big surprise to everyone who knew about this temple because even taking a picture 📷of the main hall of this temple was prohibited😲

This sound came from Band-Maid. Thanks for asking, Po! 🕊

In the 60s and 70s, anime and Tokusatu theme songs were songs for that genre. In the 80s and 90s, it became a trend to commission general J-POP and J-ROCK singers, and even now anime theme songs are often commissioned to singer-songwriters and bands. That's why Japanese songs have an anime-like feel.

Thanks!

BAND-MAID has done several anime songs. Check out FROM NOW ON and see if you can handle that one. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Peace. 5.23

You checked out an old old track, might as well catch their latest, more metal-y song, “Protect You” (and yes it’s an anime intro). And don’t forget to catch a live song like the recent “Hate?” which has a lot more unexpected goodness (and def read follow the lyrics). Thanks!

I'm just gonna (kind of) copy The Roger here: Band Maid! 🍺😎🤘 Also: Check out the Live of this! It slaps!

Thanks for reacting to the greatest hard rock band in the world! You definitely need to check out their live performances.

But I only have an abacus.😢 This band does take my breath away. ❤❤❤❤❤

Welcome to the Maidiacs! Believe it or not, that's just the tip of the iceberg of musical greatness from this incredible group of ladies and the more you listen to and get to know them, the more you're gonna love 'em! Thanks for the great reaction and remember: Life is BETTER with BAND-MAID! 🤘🤩🤘

They are rock and roll guardian angels and the best hard rock band on this planet🤘Keep an eye on them!!

Thanks for the review of our Maids! 🕊️ ° . • There's so much more for you to see) They have just passed the 10-year Mark being together as a band and their catalog is rich with many styles of music... So many that we simply call their sound: 'Band Maid'! 🎴 ° _______/

Great reaction!!!! New subscribed member now, so I welcome you to the Band Maid universe. You will love it here. Band Maid is completely incredible and you will discover why so many millions of us absolutely LOVE this band. I am in my seventies now and have heard all the great rock and metal bands from Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabath, Aerosmith to Guns N Roses. For so long I was stuck in the past in trying to listen to good music and then came Band Maid! Thank God for them. My life has been infused with a fresh wind of music. The best rock/metal band in the world today and the equal of all the great ones before them. A warm, warm welcome to you 8EQUALSD to the pigeon hole universe of Band Maid. You will love it here.

BAND-MAID = musical bliss, whatt a fcken band Po 👍🍻

THE best Hard Rock band on Earth. Think that's everything covered.

Thank you for reacting to BAND-MAID. A word of advice, LIVE! watch their live performances for their KZfaq channel.

Good reaction. You're in front of the best rock band nowadays... an autentic legend.

You two look so beautiful together

I have not hear anyone saying they're math-rock yet, but they definitely have prog moments... and they're all about using whatever musical tools exist to make better music. So... yeah... mathy :) Subbed! Can't wait to see you react to more of them! Please? Try something live, perhaps Hate? There is a long hard rock and metal tradition in Japan going back to the 80s and before with bands like Loudness. And the drummer Akane notes that she was inspired by the female drummer from a Japanese band called Maximum the Hormone. But the thing is, as you noted, the internet brings everything to everybody, and so, for instance, you'll find that the lead guitarist Kanami's biggest influences as a player are Santana and Eddie Van Halen, etc. She's the main composer, and she steals from absolutely EVERYBODY, possibly more from Guns and Roses than any other band. Heck, they have a song that straight up steals a riff from Nickleback, and improves on it by about ten times. They've managed to syncretize an amazing amount of sources into something at once new and yet always sounding like something you heard somewhere before.

"Real Exitance" official Live version is even more energetic !!!

The answer to "Life, the Universe, and Everything" is 42. 42 = Band-Maid. Thanks y'all! 🕊

This song is about 8-9 yrs old you have only 130 to go, best rock band this 73 yr old has ever seen and I've seen them all.

I second the suggestion for "from now on."

Best band on the planet 🤘🎎🤘🎎🔥🔥🔥🔥 check out their live videos.

Such a cute couple. This is so old. Just wait until you hear their more recent stuff. But first, try DOMINATION, live in 2020. It’s a great jumping off point for their other music. I think their sound comes from absorbing Western Rock and Metal you the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, and 00’s, mixing it all up, and giving it a Japanese twist. They do get more “mathy” over time. AGGRETSUKO. Do you know these all-female Japanese groups: LOVEBITES? NEMOPHILA? HANABIE?

I agree what you said the mind set we have toweds japanese music is anime theme but not all ,,they create own style, they have good foundation in music ,,but the delivered it in different way and mixing up genres pushing those genres incorporating them in a song

Good reaction. Thnx

Yes. Band-Maid is a rock-core band with pop sensibility combining elements of punk, metal (also funk, jazz, rap, hip-hop, blues, fork, country depending on the song) and from early on, they had touch of prog. Their music is becoming increasingly progressive these days. To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of anime songs but some of their anime songs are unique and still has the unmistakable Band-Maid quirkiness in note choice, use of pause, Akane's colourful and melodic fills...there's so much to take in and enjoy that those bloody anime songs sometimes become my favourite!😂 About their sound, they definitely use traditional Japanese sound here and there, including the traditional pentatonic scale-influenced sound (in parts), they never do anything all way though. The drummer uses so many rhythmic patterns in one song, fast yet very fluid...I can't get enough of her. Kanami the lead guitarist - her playing style is so...one of a kind. Honestly, every member of this band has her unmistakable style and sound, the band embrace everyone's difference (individuality) to create their sound. Yolo (one is the most unique second verse) Sayonakidori (Akane's unique drumming), Giovanni (progressive masterpiece), Onset, Moratoriam, Wonderland (slower but one of their most complex composition) Their music is very addictive. You go through other great bands and come back to Band-Maid and realise how different their music is from other bands.

Worth remembering that a lot of well-established Japanese bands are asked to provide anime music.

Greetings and thank you from this 68 year old Band-Maid fan. Subscribed 😊 Welcome to the pigeon hole! You are going to be inundated with suggestions for more Band-Maid songs, along with Lovebites, Nemophila and Hanabie who are kind of the big four at the moment. But that's just a fraction of the great music coming out of Japan right now. Waiting in the wings are Bridear, Hagane, East of Eden, Unlucky Morpheus, Maximum the Hormone, Ningen Isu, Glim Spanky, Head Phones President, Hades, Scandal, and many others. Based on your math rock comments, I think you might enjoy tricot (pronounced tree-koh; try "Pork Ginger"), Sokoninaru (try "Tenohira De Odoru") or Asterism (try "Church" or "Dawn"). I can also recommend some great Korean bands if you are interested 🤘

who can say no to the maids, really... who?😻😻😸

Y'all and Band-Maid are almost to much Kawaii!

8EQUALSD , Welcome to BAND-MAID , Enjoy your journey down the Pigeon hole , MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! the Barefoot Bass Assassin , next song Domination offical live video .

There are many western and Japanese bands that influenced them and they play a wide range of styles. Their newer music tends to be more progressive and complicated. If you’re looking for math rock, other Japanese bands like tricot and Sokoninaru are a closer fit.

I was going to say I don't do math, but then I reconsidered your channel name and realized we'd all be expected to do math.

Plz react ( NEEYE OLI SONG IN SARPATTA PARAMBARAI)💯👍🔥

Rock has a long history in Japan. I think the biggest selling Japanese act of all time is B'z, which is a rock duo formed in the 80's. Any time you get something to splinter off, it can take on a life of its own, and that's more or less what that "anime" sound is. There are some chord progressions and drum patterns that are particularly popular in Japanese rock, but it's hard to know what it is that you're hearing that makes you think of anime. I never recommend this song as an introduction to Band-Maid, because they're really serious musicians and that series of smiling shots in this video makes me kind of cringe, and I'm always scared I'm going to give people the wrong impression about why I like them. But it's also just not one of my favorites. They're primarily a live band, so it would be good to check out one of their official live videos on their channel. Their lead vocalist, especially, tends to put in some extra power for a live crowd, and they often throw in special arrangements for the fans that come out to see them. Like extra solos and stuff. If you want a good recent live, check out Hate?.

Nice reaction. Well now you've done it! Japanese all women / women fronted / women containing, metal / rock / punk rabbit hole starter list.

🤘🕊️🦍🥷👸🏻👀PO!

Niiiice ! 💯🤟 In (not) the same vein; why not react to Kyary Pamyu Pamyu "Fashion Monster" MV? 🤣 It's strangely addictive, and watch out for the ninja dancers though ...

Great reaction and interesting and insightful comments (new sub based on you comments). If you want an in-depth explanation about Japanese rock, I recommend the interview with Marty Friedman (of Megadeth) and Rick Beato about Japanese rock and why it's so different and progressive compared to US rock. Marty moved to Japan in 2003 (his wife is Japanese) saying that Japan was where the most interesting and progressive rock music was being created - here's the link - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hMWDe72c1tmtdIU.html Thanks for reacting to Band-Maid and as a hint, their live performances are sooooooooo much better. You're welcome

The LIVE version is even better, like Way Better! Go back and do the LIVE version! Also, not a set. That's a real temple! And BAND-MAID has Anime Theme Songs. They even have a Music Video where they appear in anime form. It's called 'Unleash'. As well as commissions, like 'Shambles' for the Netflix anime, Kengan Ashura.MISA is a Bad Ass! She is the Bad Ass Barefoot Bass Assassin! Make time for more BAND-MAID! They have so many influences, Hendrix, Santana, Smashing Pumpkins, Sheena Ringo. But they don't exactly sound like anyone, except themselves. So many different songs.

I think it's progressive rock on a punk base! It's a great song whatsoever. But the main question are...how high are you two?

When you listen to Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin, do you have any associations with Mickey Mouse or Tom and Jerry?

React to thalapathy videos ❤

First, this version of the official "Real Existence" MV is one of the worst choices you could have made as an introduction to Band-Maid's catalog, the live version of "Real Existence" is MUCH BETTER, in fact almost any live song by Band-Maid would have been a better choice. Second, respectfully, could you give me some examples of bands you call "anime music". I really want to destroy your misconceptions about j rock/metal... the following links lead you to Japanese bands that DO NOT SOUND LIKE ANIME.😉 NEMOPHILA, "Oiran": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9dxddGXqM7Ukp8.htmlsi=eu5AmocyN7Na5T8D UNLUCKY MORPHEUS, "Dignity of Spirit": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rp2HbKeUurG9j4k.htmlsi=YhR2iI_BeNCcpauH ANTHEM, "Empty Eyes": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndR8fJmLtbPQpYk.htmlsi=5Mr8DYTslyUOGQ9E ONMYOUZA, Suite "Nine Tails ~ Killing Stone": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/max8qJNhtLPIaZc.htmlsi=c6mB08OiuTb4luqO WAGAKKI BAND, "Chie No Cajitsu + Somosan Seppa": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hcdzab2KlbG9hpc.htmlsi=6CoNnAnJHvrdAvUR GALNERYUS, "Destiny": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p6-ldZSVvb3DeIU.htmlsi=SXeeuen7MgVqfwrB LOVEBITES, "Holly War": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mM1xq9N21avHnqM.htmlsi=f3DywULyvuJHs2pl ☺👍
