The maids have more great musical ideas in one song than most bands can muster in an entire album.

BAND-MAID make people happy !

Kanami is a genius songwriter and arranger. Her sense for what to do and when to, is almost always spot on. When you add in her machine like output rate of almost an album ever year consisting of around 13 tracks each, you know you’ve got a force of nature here. Infact according to the “Different” interview, she already has a whole library of tracks always ready to be released, if need be with just a few adjustments before finalising.it. That’s how Different came to be. In their recent “Unseen world” interview, both Misa and Saiki have revealed that they’re learning to write songs as well. Their songwriting will only get better and faster as long as their creative direction is well managed and aligned.

Bryan, it's pronounced "REE--NEH". It means "Reincarnation" in Japanese. The song is based on a Japanese horror movie about a professor who was obsessed with trying to witness human souls (to prove to himself that reincarnation exists). He killed 11 people and then himself at a hotel and filmed their deaths with an 8mm movie camera to try and "capture" the souls leaving the bodies. Peace out.

Even in a heavy track like 'Rinne', they still stay catchy. Not many bands can do that. And also, words to live by: "It's sink or swim! Shut up!". Love that! 😃

In a magazine interview about the accompanying album 'Conqueror', Akane talked a bit about the process of making the album. The best excerpt from it: - Kanami: Akane, what is your highest tempo on drums? - Akane: 170, maybe 180 bpm. - Kanami then sent her a demo with 190 bpm. Not only ultra talented but also equipped with humor! Now you may guess which song was talked about... Correct! And I think the result shows, Akane has mastered this task with waving flags. 🤘

At last someome reviewed this great song and genius arrangement. Astounding playing from all the girls as usual. Kanami is composer of the decade along with Miyako from Lovebites.. And Miku's Lyrics are are great too. What a bundle of talent Band Maid are !

Their music is basically complex. It is rock at its finest! It makes you proud and happy is the best statement for it. Your proud of their talent and the song makes you happy! One reaction stated that she was happy for days after hearing Band Maid

This song is a heavier song from Band-Maid! This is the song I thought of when you did your double bass video. Band-Maid just nails it! Great song from Band-Maid!

A lot of people who react to bandmaid say basically the same stuff. Their song writing isnt exactly new or even complicated, but its structured in such a perfect way that makes it unique. Its crazy to me that kanami does pretty much all of it, her knack for writing is completely out of this world. The members already hyped her up for her songwriting for their new album in a recent interview and you know damn well i cant wait to hear it

If you can't get hyped listening to BAND-MAID you're either: A) Deaf. B) A Justin Bieber fan. If your answer is B) then you're also A).

Very cool reaction from a genuine music lover, this band is the future!

No comment on that groovy bass in such an intense song? it's a great contrast.

The video was filmed in 8mm , the Shut Up at the end was in reference to critics who said they were getting to poppy .

Great reaction!. You are right, the songwriting is goddess level, and they are pushing themselves to new heights. Lately they have commented their desire to incorporate new things to their music including a new interest of MISA and Saiki to compose for the band. New album in Jan 20th. I can´t wait!!.

You have a few days to watch a studio live of "After Life" from their new album before the link is taken down. It starts with the girls talking about it with English subs. Just be warned! Akane has been practicing to improve her "weaknesses": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jquqpM6GncDFm6M.html&feature=share

The bass in this song was also amazing too! ... But what else would you expect from Misa. Also loved the slides that Miku was doing on the rhythm guitar. It was like adding just the perfect amount of spice to a meal lol.

I thank you Brian for Applauding Akane pushing herself with those double kicks, I mean hey, I've heard yours so that means a lot. I love how each member puts their stamp on a song be it Akane dropping to a half time feel or unique fill or Misa adding creative runs throughout instead of basic root notes, Miku singing low or high background vocals that always adds the right touch to Saiki's smooth and powerful vocals and Yes, Kanami is an amazing song writer and performer. Each song is a unique experience. I know we are getting close to experiencing their new album but hope you can experience their song Blooming (Official MV) while we are still in this chapter of Band Maid's music. I think it's one of their best, especially the drums in solo section.... and the outro guitar solo.. Take care

4:20 FACTS!

The recently released magazine "ヤング・ギター　2月号" contains a large number of large-format photographs of BAND-MAID members taken by professional portrait photographers. Akane in the photos taken with professional makeup and lighting is really beautiful. That being said, I'm still a fan of Kanami. Anyway, Akane is a beautiful woman. Well, everyone is shooting very well. The magazine also contains scores for "onset," "Thrill," and "Defarent." 2/3 is a BAND-MAID article. Since this is a monthly magazine, it is sold at a fixed price for only one month. As far as this magazine is concerned, I feel superior to being a countryman with BAND-MAID. Anyway, the photos are amazing. BAND-MAID are all beautiful. By the way, "RINNE 輪廻" is a Buddhist term and has nothing to do with movies. If you look at a book written about Buddhism, you'll understand the meaning. I'm sorry for my poor English.

Glad you reacted to this! I love Band-Maid! Now it's time you check out Unlucky Morpheus and Doll$Boxx. Both bands are fronted by the same singer, Fuki. For Unlucky Morpheus I recommend Black Pentagram, Knight of the Sword or Dignity of Spirit (live version). For Doll$Boxx I recommend Shout Down, Sekaiwa Kitto Aiwo Shitterunda or Dragonet (live version w/ drum solo). Both bands have awesome drummers 🤘😁🤘

Indeed its flawless

BLOOMING, PLAY, Choose Me, Dont Let Me Down, Wonderland, matchless GUM, THRILL!!!!!!

thank you man!

I was wondering when you would come across this!!!! Akane is a drum goddess but then they are all rock goddesses. You need to do a 2 fer and check out "Secret My Lips" and then their other version "Secret Maiko Lips" (April 1st 2018, April fools) they announced that they had changed their name to Band Maiko (Maikos are apprentice Geishas) and rearranged the song with traditional Japanese instruments added by Kanami on computer and they wore beautiful traditional geisha outfits. They are the most beautiful and amazing band on the planet!!! ( They are incredibly beautiful in Geisha kimonos & make-up). Secret My Lips is still one of my favorite BM songs

Kanami is sadistic. With the new song, she asks the members to improve their skills. For that reason, Akane bought a lot of bananas and worked hard on muscle training. MISA saved the liquor and bought a 5-string bass, and Saiki spent money on voice training to produce high notes. So what do you think Kanami did? She just cut short bangs that got in the way when she danced while playing the guitar. Miku paid an extra monthly fee to her teacher.

Bryan: From a fellow Band-Maidiac who doesn't play the drums, let me ask you to check out and comment on Akane's drumming on a fave tune of theirs- it goes back a few years, and is said to be the first song they wrote and composed entirely themselves: "Alone." Check out the official MV - a lot of fans say it's one song where the studio MV is already perfect.

Kanami: Akane how many bpm can you do? Akane:950. Kanami: OK I'll write your part for 1020.

Hi Bryan, just giving you a heads up. Band-Maid have just released their new video of their first song from the new album Unseen World, called Manners. Its incredible, just what we have come to expect from B-M. Like you said. Their songwriting is just flawless.

Band-Maid just dropped a new song "Manners" it's so good.

Gratz on the 10K Bro!

Been waiting for your reaction to this, because I knew we'd get a "YEEEEEAAAAAAHHH!!!!" from those drums :)

When you describe that the song goes where you wanted to go even though you don't know what's coming next it reminded me of my first times listening to The Beatles when I was in my teens I remember thinking that the music went exactly where I would have wanted it to go. Even though I am not a musical expert like you, it seemed to have a logical flow.

i suggest after life as it's off the new album and amazing. And in interviews sounds like the song black hole will be their fastest heaviest song yet off that album and i can't wait to hear the full album

Hell yeah!!!!

All their songs make people 😃 😊 😀 😄 😁

Bloody genius at work!!!!!

We now know how this works: Kanami writes a song. And she's like "hey Akane, this song has a million bpm double kick". And Akane says "OK Mincho" and learns to double kick at a million bpm. This is literally how they learn new things.

Finally. Thank you.

14k view without dislike? You must be kidding me! 🥰🥰🥰

MISA MISA MISA!

More of Akane and her mad maids

Iv'e said this again and again Band-Maid gives you what you want before you Know you want it, and then you can't wait for more.

Damnnn that bass sounded super thicc

Band Maid just dopped their new song Manners from Unseen World. Reaction storm on the way.

Hi Bryan. Your reaction for BAND-MAID is always sooo good ! And when she became your girl. Wa ha ha.

Great reaction and yes Akane is a beast on this song. In an interview Akane said Kanami wrote this song with the fastest double bass, that at that time ,she had to do and was concerned that she wouldn't be able to do it. If you like drummers, you should take a look 11 year old Yoyoka doing a cover Deep Purple's Burn - it's literally amazing, even Ian said it was in his reaction (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zripfa6a1NLQk3U.html) to her video - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q86qi5yCx66Xmqc.html

Kanami Tōno (遠乃 歌波) - lead guitar is the sole songwriter for the group, according to several interviews with the band.

Hi Mr Bryan. Great news. Band Maid just got a new song 👍

There is another band all female from Japan called Lovebites.

Blooming お願い致します♪❤️😃

Band maid just released a new song and mv 2 hours ago

Could be the best rock song ever. The video quality is homage to 8 mm Japanese classic horror film of the same name. I believe Saiki's a fan. The close is aimed at critics.

From Japan I love your BAND-MAID reaction drumming reaction Recommended Songs Official Music Video ver. 「secret My lips」

"She uses it so tastefully".... good analogy. I call her drumming "Patient". Akane never steps on toes or takes the center stage. She holds back, letting whoever showcase their talent until needed, then kills it. Kanami writes the music initially then everyone puts their talent to it for a final song. This method IS their success...IMHO.

Rin-Nay

Akane is just wow.

Bryan, you have to listen/react to "Black Hole" from their new album. There's no video, just the album cover. It's on "BANDMAID FAN" channel. All Hail AKANE!! All Hail AKANE!!!

Bro you have to check out "Blooming" for more tasty drumming... among other things you won't be ready for xD

Having a cry! Must be old age? Not!!! Band-Maid genius!

Rinne-gone

Okay, this is something completely different, but I don't know where else to put it... I _highly_ recommend that you react to the band Jinjer doing Pisces (live session). And please, please come to it cold, without research. I will let one thing slip--the session was actually set up to showcase their then-new drummer.

you gotta check out Nils "Dominator" Fjellström - Dark Funeral - Vobiscum Satanas .

Please react to their new music video "Manners". It's dope.

Bryan - please do a reaction to Manners ...

band-maid Just released their new album. You should really listen to Black Hole if you want to hear Akane go apeshit on those drums :O :) :D

Y'all did know that the name YODA is found in French Bibles? Gospel according to Luke, more precisely?

Loved your review. You didn't do the thing I hate and pause the video at very random points to say something. Even in a review video I'm jammin to the song so please don't stop it..Oh listen to "The Dragon Cries", it's my favorite song of theirs and it's the only one I know of that's all english lyrics.

Check out Nemophila. They're amazing and similar to band maid but metal....oiran and reitai are my personal favorites.

Dude....what happened.....your last Band maid review was 2 years ago?????? they have over 120 songs......you have barely scratched the surface of this bands potential. You would love their new tracks From Now On and Shambles....Akane absolutely goes off the charts!!! I got behind my drum kit and quickly realized Akane is on a whole different level.....and just decided to enjoy the listen....LoL Also there is another all female metal group that will blow your mind called NEMOPHILA. The drummer Tamu is also considered one the best female drummers in the world and the rest of the group is just as good. Check out Hypnosis....you will absolutely love it.

they so fucking rock.... ;0 no apologies... honeyz, redress in the most conservative pantsuits for one video; you will -STILL- KILL IT@@!!

..........:..:.:;.:.:;:........:..;;;::.......... Akane!

Another big middle finger by Miku to anyone who ever doubted her/them

React to “I wonder” by Nick Nittoli

Hi Bryan, I have checked out the stuff you have reacted to so far (love the drum covers dude). It seems you have missed something VERY important.....Ayreon, The Day The World Breaks Down and Everbody Dies. You really need to check these out. Great reacts man, keep it up

Try Lovebites - Scream for me (live - daughters of the dawn) Epic guitar dual.

You have to do a reaction to Polyphia G.O.A.T.

check out Vlad, drummer from Jinjer, and his drum playthrough of Under the Dome...I think you'll enjoy it

I tell ya I look at the top forty and shake my head , not in a good way , how the hell does that crap get airplay over these ladies , I’m doing my part and I’m buying everything Band maid related 👍

Miku writes the songs.

RIN-nay. With a hard "r" almost like an L
