This band checks off every box you can think of, best band to come around in decades! Their versatility is simply amazing! They can melt your heart with a song like "Daydreaming", melt your face off with "Rinne", boggle your brain with "Different" or "Screaming", and then when you think they could not surprise you anymore your mind gets blown by "Onset" or "Puzzle". Ok they have covered the gambit what else could they possibly do? Wait, what is this Band Maiko??? 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂

Most talented and MAYBE already the best band on the planet right now PERIOD

Saiki (the lead singer) said, in an interview, that this was the easiest song to record on the new album because the vocals fit her natural style perfectly.

The orchestral intro mirrors what they do at concerts, where a similar piece of music plays in the background as they come on stage. Since this is the first track on the new album, I think they added that to give it the same feel as their live shows.

Your ability to pick up details is impressive. Their Different MV released in December also has a complex and driving arrangement.

You’ve got to check out their live performances as they’re even better live and they tend to do extended solos and intros. My best recommendation to start with would be “Onset” or “Domination”. They’re all available on their official youtube channel.

Yes agree with Juan, you must see Domination and also Freedom live to see their talent for jamming and entertaining live. They are masters of it.

I really appreciate your way of reviewing an MV - for the type of comments you're making, not stopping is better IMO, it is more spontaneous this way. And of course, I love that you insist so much on Akane's drumming - some people don't realize how good she is (and I often wonder if she knows how good she is!). And our sweet Mincho (Kanami's nickname) turning into a fire-breathing Godzillesque monster (when she isn't strapped to a car roof!) is both hilarious (she HATES heights) and amazing (when you'll start to know them better, you'll see she's usually an extremely shy, mannered soft-spoking lady who turn into a rock godess on stage - Dr Jekyll and Ms Hyde!

You really should watch Onset or Play Live to see Misa's bass in action :)

Thanks for covering Band-Maid, Sygneh. Great technical breakdown! Band-Maid's music is dense and can be a bit confusing at first. Yet it's played and integrated so well, we can (sort of) follow along on the first couple of listens and just be amazed with what we're hearing. After our minds settle down, we can run it through a few more times and start to hear individual parts, which are very complex for a rock band, but fascinating and satisfying. With more listens we begin to more fully appreciate just what's going on here - just how good and cleaver these five, unique and prolific rock stars are. Band-Maid is one of those rare bands, like RUSH & YES, for example, that create music one can listen to over and over, rediscovering, and still feel like it's fresh and exciting as the first time. I still get chills hearing their early songs. That, along with the bright, fun and quirky personalities of each Maid, should be a golden formula for stratospheric success.

Great reaction. For us amateur musicians, nothing beats listening to a pro reacting to a piece of music they love and appreciate. Not only do I get to listen to great music, I get to feel like a genius doing so. :)

Probably one of my favorite new reactors to Band-Maid. Love seeing real musicians react and getting more girls in on the mix.

without reading through the comment section, I believe you are probably getting a tons of suggestion to watch a Live performance. These are because of two things mainly: 1. we know we'll get a good reaction and insights out of you, considering the 2 previous bandmaid reaction you've done 2. because we know you will enjoy it and all we want is for you to have a good time and inherently a great day We saw how bandmaid can put a smile on your face, it happens to all of us. I hope you'll take the suggestion, and enjoy 👍

Yes! More of this, please. Thoroughly enjoyed your technical breakdown/fangirling. I would love to see you react to some live songs like 'Domination', 'Real Existence', 'Onset', or 'Wonderland'. Good on ya!

Wonderful reaction. It is always great to watch a professional break down a song and point out things I would normally gloss over. And don't worry about not stopping the video. Your audio is mixed just right that the video and your mic don't overpower the other. So we hear your comments just fine and it feels more genuine when we can hear in real-time your thoughts during the song. As for the next song I would recommend the live official video of Play or Onset. Both show of some great bass and technique. Or as a change of pace Wonderland live, one of their more mellow songs.

G'day Sygneh. Always love the musician's perspective on a reaction, that still allows for the emotions evoked by the music and song. Enjoying both your technical descriptions and obvious enjoyment. This is one of my first stops for reactions now (respecting your 24 hour rule!). I'll try and catch up on your other content. You picked a wild time to get into Band Maid. Enjoy the ride!

It's almost criminal how ridiculously talented these ladies are!!! For a more bass heavy(with a killer bass solo), try the song No God off their latest album Unseen World. Unfortunately there's no video for it(yet🙏), though I heard rumors of another video drop very soon(next week)! If not, try a live performance. Remarkably, they are better live! Domination, Play, Onset(Instrumental) for starters. They are so good that they do their own stunts!!!👍👍🤘🤘🤘

Kanami is a great guitarist and composer. And they are great to play it.

Nice!!! Their songs "Freedom", "Moratorium" and "Different" should be next. Every song is unique.

You'll love this new CD for so many reasons. It's easily my album of the year. All killer songs start to finish

In februari they give an online concert of 2 hours more then 20 songs. on Zaiko Japan. next week is the selling

Explosive. Blazing Hot. On Fire. Daredevil. Intense. Fast and Furious. You would think one is describing an action movie. Nope. Just Band-Maid's newest MV release. That Kanami solo on top of the car with the smoky orange firey glow is just EPIC! The massive explosion behind the band was equally awesome. Band-Maid never disappoints. But, then again we can't expect anything less from them at this point. They are hands down the best and hottest rock group in the world. They are on FIRE 🔥🔥🔥

Awesome review! There are dozens and dozens of reactors for this already and though you are new to the band, you have one of the top three and maybe the best IMO. I love having a pro musician be able to explain what's happening and why it matters. Fantastic video! Thanks! PS Im totally okay with your talking. Its intelligent commentary and Ive already watched the video a dozen times! haha PPSS... also, the respect in having the 24 hour cool down. Thats respect and being a pro! PPSSSS>>>> haha.. Check out "play" or the instrumental "onset" on their official channel from their last concert before the shut down last year. They are even better live many will tell you, plus is shows off the talents a bit more individually. Honestly any live track right now will give you another perspective.

They just dropped another live video from online concert last week. The song is love letter for the fans👌

Kanami (lead guitarist) would be happy for calling her a genius cuz she writes the songs but future songs could be fun as well as other members are starting getting more involved in the songwriting.

GIRLS ROCK! Like I had to tell you. BAND-MAID just rippin it up. Lots more to see from them, too. Everything will amaze you. Try something live next time.

I really respect your 24 hour rule... it really helps for their music to be appreciated on its own first. (and of course get them the views they deserve first)

The real deal is live !! You will see them having fun,enjoing themselves and massive smiles and great playing; check FREEDOM it has it all, then go for DOMINATION!

Onset (instrumental) official live. No question! (For an all band - showcase - performance, Domination live). Long time touring bassist - great review and breakdown - wishing you well!

Jimmy Page caught one of their shows and requested a meet and greet with Akane after the show. She thought that she was being pranked, but you can GOOGLE the meeting where Jimmy compared Akane to Bonzo.

That music in the beginning is the "Maid waltz". They starting their concerts (/ "servings" is what Band-Maid calls the concerts) with that tune and this is the first song on the album so...

Slap bass: everybody has to start somewhere. Misa as well as all the others has continuously developed her skills. At one point she was so relentless in learning and practicing slap bass that she soon had bloody blisters. It was at THAT point she heard they had studio time. So... she went in and played through the pain ANYway. They have literally worked through blood, sweat, and tears to be at the level they are.

Thanks for your reaction Sygneh! Looking forward to more Band-Maid reactions ! Cheers!

MISA MISA MISA! the Intro intro is a reworked "Maid Waltz" (as this is the opening track on the Album) which is the tune that is playing as the Band Set up on Stage at Okyu-Ji's (Live Shows) before they Kick you in the Face

If you want to check out another all female band from Japan try Lovebites. Lovebites are heavy/power metal so a bit heavier than Band-Maid. I would love to see a reaction to Lovebites - edge of the world (Live at Zepp DiverCity in Tokyo, Japan) This is one of there softer songs but one of my favourites.

Definitely up for Q&A or livestream.

Sygneh, This is the vey first time I have ever posted on a reaction video. I love watching the reaction of the person when they hear Band Maid, especially for the first time ever. I'm probably being WAY too nosey, but I'm curious how many new subscribers, Including me, you have picked up after reacting to Manners and Warning? I'm 55 yrs old, and a former 80's metal guitarist/Bassist. I discovered this this wonderful group of young women I guess around March of last year. I had basically quit playing guitar until then. I have bought their cds World Domination and Conqueror and have not really listened to anything since. Even after 100's of playthroughs of the cds, every time a song comes on I still get that rush. I preordered Unseen world, due to be delivered Wednesday and I cant wait. I was kind of not really thrilled (no pun intended) with the rock/metal scene for the last few years and the girls have totally revived my love. Everything about them just makes me feel happy, and in 2020 that was really saying something. I loved your reactions and I hope you go back through their catalog some, so many truly great songs....but it's really their love of the music and FOR EACH OTHER that makes my heart full. You can't fake that kind of comradery. The fan posted vids of their world domination tour, with being such small venues, which were packed, and being that close up to them...it was just amazing. The quality isn't the best on some but the power is there regardless and the connection with the fans.....and each other. Keep up the awesome reactions and good luck with your webpage. I could tell you were freaked by how we , their loyal fans, jumped onto you page. That's why I wondered how many new subs you got. Sorry for the long first time post. Take care, and all my love to the amazing members of Band Maid.

MISA's ability to transition seamlessly between picking and slapping surprises me every time.

I've been playing music for a long time, but when you get down to it, I'm a hobbyist and my experience can't compare to someone who does it for a living. One example is something I've noticed with you and others who do similar breakdowns, is how you have this... just 360 degree awareness of everything going on in the song, all at once. At least that's how it looks to me. I can only concentrate on one or two elements at a time, so I'll miss how three or more elements are interacting, for instance. That kind of awareness is something I really admire and value, so thank you for sharing it with us. Unrelated, but the video for this song reminds me a lot of Sabotage, what with the car chase and all. And speaking of distinctive bass lines, Adam Yauch really showed us what you can do when you throw "proper" technique out the window, you know? This is going long, but I also wanted to comment on how the chords and chord progressions are relatively simple in the arrangement. Compare to something like Corcovado (which I still can't play), the chord structure of this song is practically bare-bones. It seems like the complexity really comes in with how they play with time and rhythm. Does that make sense? Anyway, thanks again for posting this. I'm looking forward to watching your other Band-Maid videos!

Thanks SYGNEH!

Great reaction Sygneh, I'm not a musician but I appreciate your insights into the musical details of our Maid's, so Thank You. I've read (translated) interviews of Misa and she's mentioned that she works on a technique where she can hold the pick but still slap when she needs to and Akane has a "double" striker pedal for her kick drum that she uses, she may of initially made it herself but I'm not sure.

I Just want to say how much I enjoyed your review as Musician you understand what is happening.I like your genuine approach and positive attitude thank you very much I have subscribed to your channel😁

Welcome back to the world of MAIDIACS ! BAND-MAID's songs are so appealing that after listening to three of them, you won't forget them, and after listening to five of them, they will become your favorites. If, after listening to five songs, you start looking for more BAND-MAID songs, you are in danger. That's because you will fall into the deep hole of MAIDIACS. It's like a black hole, a hole that once you fall into, you can't get out.

What I like about BM is the spirit of the band which drives their sound. And I think that spirit begins with Miku, the founder of the band. She not only assembled a kickass group of musicians but they have fun and they are united and coherent and work together to make sure each member shines in each song. They are not just a wall of sound. Every song is crafted.

Another great reaction for your perspective of musician. It´s time to react to the live stuff and you´re gonna blown away haha. DOMINATION is the example of their power. Greetings from Mexico Sygneh!

Greetings from Los Angeles BAND-MAID is the best HARD-ROCK band on this planet. Enjoy the ride

If you want to hear more of Miku’s (the backing vocalist / rhythm gt) vocals, check out their song on this album called Sayonakidori! Miku does the main vocals for this song. There are also a few other bandmaid songs that she does main vocal for, such as Rock In Me (which is also a banger btw)

We're loving your breakdown of their songs. Keep reacting to BAND-MAID, you'll be amaze with every song you listen to. There's always something to discover even when you have listen to a song hundreds of times.

Hell just go everything Band-Maid live. And then browse all the MVs of your preferences

Welcome...enjoy the Band Maid experience. Like others check out the live videos, Freedom, Play, Domination and Onset. Renews faith in Rock and you can feel how much fun they have performing

"All-girl" Japanese bands: BAND-MAID - Freedom LOVEBITES - Raise Some Hell DOLL$BOXX - Take My Chance ALDIOUS - Sweet Temptation NEMOPHILA - Raitei

So many stank faces and smiles during this one haha we all must have the same reaction when we listen to them. Nice reaction love all the details you point out with your musically trained ears helps us appreciate the subtleties even more!

You should check out a band from Mexico called The Warning. They started out doing covers and now have an EP and 2 full length albums all fan funded. They just signed with Lava/ Republic records and are now finishing up their 3rd album. They did a cover of Hysteria by The Muse and Ale the bass player was Around 10 years old at the time. They are ages at this point Dani on guitar 20 soon to be 21 Pau on drums is 18 and Ale on bass just turned 16. Ale plays a Spector bass and is the youngest at 13 that they have ever sponsered. They have a signature bass coming out for her this year called Golden Thunder!

I seem to remember someone else (one of the reactors) saying that b-m could be his dream band... Surprisingly bass isn't the main focus of this song. I've been on band-maid binge for the last 6 months so I'm starting to get used to how good misa is. However, the 5th track "I still seek revenge" is a bass show down. You're gonna love it. There are so many things you will love about this band, drummer Akane started drumming when she was 18, previously worked in a jazz cover band, she's also a pro DJ. The drummer, the lead bassist and the lead guitarist all played piano at some point, everyone except the drummer was a lead singer at one point. The lead vocal also play a bit of piano and guitar. Kanami the lead guitarist compose most band-maid songs and miku the rhythm guitarist/secondary vocal writes the lyrics. But everyone in the band is involved in the arrangements. There's no weak link in the band, the commitment, determination and the passion those 5 share never cease to impress me. And it's paying off.

Just wanted to echo the call to bring the new Band Maid release 'About Us' to your attention. It has a great, prominent bass line (HINT!) in a live setting - so, of course I thought of your channel! It has extra meaning for fans as it was written as a gift for them by the band, since fans were denied access to in-person concerts during the last year. 'About Us' was performed at a live online concert ten days ago.

Not sure if someone mentioned it but Miku the rythm guitar/background vocal/band founder is the one who write the song lyrics of Band-maid and Kanami the lead guitar is the one who compose their music and Misa and Akane the drummer sometime add their ideas.

On Bass, Misa is a great one in Band-Maid. If you like zeroing in on cool bass lines, check out Unleash the Archers - Awakening. The bass player has a sweet style of playing the bass which is worth a watch. It's a full band playthrough where you can see everyone's fingering- and an amazing song.

One of the best reactions on this song!! Thanks, I really enjoyed your analysis.

I love your comments and how we get to hear your thinking process in real-time.

Enjoyed watching your educated evaluation and reaction to this amazing band...just discovered them a few days ago and I've been binge watching all of their videos!!!

I read that Misa stated that the most challenging of their songs for her to play is "Dice".

Thanks for another reaction! You pretty much summed them up well! They are the most talented band right now. BTW always check the CC. They have been doing translated subtitles with their new songs. Can't wait to see you try out one of their live videos.

You absolutely Have to check out their live stuff. Personally think you can just go with whatever is at their channel

It's very easy to be passionate about these ladies --- they are very talented and kick ass. You really need to try their live performances as the energy there is amazing. Try "Freedom" live , "Domination" live, and "Don't you tell me" live. Killer Japanese bands you might enjoy ---- BabyMetal, Lovebites, and Waggaki Band. European next level bands --- Nightwish "Romanticide" live , Jinjer "Pisces" live session , Ayreon "Everybody dies" live. Enjoy!

Did anyone ever tell you that you have great hearing / listening Skills. I needed to hear the Song like 4 Times as a Non musician to pick that all up. Especially that drumming near the End i didnt even notice it as first listen. Its soo faast.

Thank you for sharing your reaction and review. It's very entertaining and educative. Please keep reacting and reviewing Band-Maid's music because in my opinion they are very unique and very good. I recommend the song "Yolo" (in their official channel).

Misa demonstrated, in a radio interview that was simulcast on YT, how she palmed her pick between her index finger and MCP pad to go to slap and back to picking in an instant. On a rare occasion she plays without a pick such as the live performance of "Awkward," where she had an integral part in the arrangement. You should check that one out. Great reaction again, Po!

Ton of small little details feels like a trade mark. In general we get a relatively simple sounding melody ... with a ton of little bits that are actually easy to miss while being fairly complex

Their live performance is also very good. Lovely and numb・・・！ Domination , Freedom and Don't you tell me　etc.

yes BAND-MAID fans are crazy, i mean we gotta be if we are gonna help our Small Pigeon overlord achieve global domination lol

Another Japanese group worth checking out is Babymetal. They are actually more popular than Band-Maid. Please react to this: BABYMETAL - "No Rain, No Rainbow (Budokan Black Night)". This song is a ballad. Beautiful vocal and instrumental melodies. This song is amazing. 👍

Band-Maid World Domination is coming, welcome to the club

Glad you've come across this band, of course I'm a huge fan of Band-Maid, but I'm *really* liking your reactions.

Please reaction onset pazzle acoustic version

I love that you can dissect what's happening from a musician's perspective. I learn something. "Blooming" MV is great. So is "Real Existence" and "Dice" MV. Their live stuff is excellent. For something unique, try "Secret Maiko Lips." They dial in traditional Japanese instruments into hard rock.

Band Maid must be recognized as the best band on the planet at this time with a Grammy for best rock album, period!

It's not on their channel, but I suggest their song Order, if you can find the video on other platforms outside of youtube.

Akane is one of the best drummers there is. Jimmy Page said back in 2016 that Akane was the best drummer he ever heard playing since John Bonham.

Readguiterist and composer KANAMI is a genius. Even a genius is always trying hard to try new songs. Chinese character of her name means a wave of songs. Literally, she wakes up big wave of music all over the world.

I am a hardcore metal guy through and through and Band-Maid is easily my favorite band going despite that.

Before i got to know Bands like Band maid and Babymetal, i thought the musicscene is dead and nothing can surprise me anymore. But now its like a new beginning of my youth. 😀

More BAND-MAID?! I'm IN! Subscribe button pressed!

Great reaction. Thank you ! I would suggest Their live stuff if possible Domination, Play, Freedom, Moratorium Or Dice MV it has quite some bass going. ;-)

MOAR BAND-MAID!! Check out Wonderland and daydreaming!

awesome stuff thank you BM 4EVER

Akane and Misa are hands down one of the best rhythm sections in metal.

It is a joy to see the excitement of new Band Maid fans...great stuff. As far as other Japanese bands check out Nemophila. If you like bass check out Rush doing YYZ Live in Rio. Back to Band Maid Domination Live on Feb 14th in Shibuya is great as well as Freedom and Play. MVs for Dice , Rinne, Thrill and Real Existence are also very good.

Japanese bands worth checking out: BAND-MAID - Freedom LOVEBITES - Raise Some Hell BABYMETAL - No Rain, No Rainbow DOLL$BOXX - Take My Chance ALDIOUS - Sweet Temptation GALNERYUS - Angel Of Salvation NEMOPHILA - Raitei LADYBABY - Biri Biri Money

One of my favorite bits of this song is when the vocals were acting like another rhythm instrument behind the guitar solo. It's little things like that which constantly blow me away when these women make music You really do need to check out Domination live to truly see Misa go full ham! You'll thank me later!

Band maid! A Japanese band ohmy. Another awesome Japanese band to react to is Official Hige dandism. They're more of a pop-band really, but dang do the vocalist write some of the most interesting songs. You'll be hearing a lot of soul and gospel integrated into their music. They're a four membered band, but they be using a lot of strings, trumpet and saxophone as well. They recently came out with a song called 'Universe'. Although theyve been a constant in the Japanese top 10 pop charts ever since their release of 'Pretender'. They've released MV's for most of their songs from their album Traveler (2019), which got #1 on the Japanese album chart. If you want a upbeat but deep song I recommend going for 'I love...' as well. I hope you can spare them some time. They'll definitely lighten up your day in some way or another. Remember to put on the subs whenever there are :) Have a great day😊

Mmmmmm ..... BAND-MAID!!!!! Thanx muchly :) Subscribed!

agreed on not stopping the song. tune must flow, at least the first time. most reactors do pauses because of blocking issues, some pick every detail and point the finger at it and it quickly becomes annoying, like adverts in a movie. this way (your way) works best for me. and if i may, i would suggest anything Band Maid live, as long as it's Onset first :) you got invaded by maidiac army, there is no way out...

Princess SYGNEH: I love the vocals, I love the drop time, I love the guitar, I love the Base riff, etc.... Maidiacs: We love you Princess

Btw, Misa posted a video (long time ago) complaining about bruises and callouses on her thumb when she started to learn to slap.

You really need to watch their live videos . They are 100 times better then the MVs , believe it or not . And MISA on her bass live is mind blowing !

Another great BM song! Really like the insight you provide . Try checking out their live stuff, that's where they truly shine. Keep Rocking!!!🤘🏻✌🏻

She thinks this band maid song is complicated...warm up song for band maid.😁

You will love all of them! Akane-47 has no boundaries ( the drummer)! MISA can do anything Bass... ANYTHING! Miku ( rhythm guitar) is the genius who got them together and writes the lyrics...and learned playing the guitar when they were formed!! Saiki voice is the best I've heard in years,her stage presence is undeniable. Kanami on the lead guitar is the mastermind composer and Minus teacher....

Since you're "All about that Bass" who is your favourite 4 string (or 5) master? I've always been a Stu Hamm and Geddy Lee fan. For great MV Bass from MISA try Real Existence or Dice. The most fun live BM song for Bass is probably "Play" or "Onset" but low key I think Freedom has some lovely Bass lines in the Bridge too. For some fun Bass action you could try Unleash the Archer's "Awakening" It has an amazing camera shot of a Bass run in the MV :)
