"I don't speak their language" Goes on to prove that he speaks their language. Rock n Roll.

This was their first music video. Huge growth musically since this one was put out.

When the video for Thrill first came out, it seemed like every third comment was someone wondering if the band was actually playing their instruments. People don't question them anymore.

After seeing the last one with DICE I went and bought their latest album with that song on it. Now I need to buy more of their albums!

I was not expecting that at all...those riffs are NASTY

Band Maid is the perfect hard rock candy for people with impulse control issues!🤣💪🏻🤘🏻

This was their very first MV from 2014. Other fans will get into much greater detail, but this is the video that most of us in the West first heard & kicked their fandom into high gear. Wait until you hear them live!! You only have about 48 more songs to go. Their catalog is deep. Live is the way to go with these girls. Try any of the following three for a first listen. Play, Moritorium, or Puzzle. Great reaction!!

Fun fact: in this clip, Miku (rhythm) still can't play guitar properly. Since then, she's forced by Akane (drum) to practice her guitar skill under Kanami (lead guitar) coaching. Now, Miku is a full fledged rhythm guitarist, she's a monster now.

You should watch some live Band-Maid videos. Although it might break you.

So uh, did anyone see 5 young Japanese women being one of the best hard rock bands of the decade? Caught me off guard! For their next reaction my vote go's to *_"Puzzle"_*_ Live._ It's one of their most dynamic songs. Chur from NZL.

"Thrill" as their breakthrough video and "Real Existence" that followed soon after was the powerful one-two punch that knocked me on my ass and made me and many others BAND-MAID fans for life, and it has gotten even better since. The words "Breaking new gate" is (1) fulfilling its own prophetic of them making a breakthrough into world-wide recognition of heir talent and skill with this very song and MV and (2) when I first heard the phrase I got the image of The Incredible Hulk walking right through a wall and "making an entrance" in 2 different meanings of the words, but it was not a big green man but 5 Japanese super-charming twenty-something women in maid uniforms breaking through the walls surrounding Hard-Rock mastery and stardom and (3) a charming example of their somewhat broken English; They are guaranteed to give you, and the rest of us, "More Enjoy" as they said in this song, as we continue listening to them and especially when we go to their concerts; It has been really great going to their concerts now when they still perform in smallish clubs and such outside japan when you can enjoy their performance and charm and fun personalities really close-up (if you queue early). They are one of the very few bands that sound (and feel!) greater live than in the studio. Soon enough they will be filling large venues world-wide with their concerts. Have run out of fingers counting the concerts of theirs I have been to and started on the toes. The last few years I did 3 concerts in-a-row traveling to central Europe and following them from city to city, and still always left wanting more after the 3rd... You just never get enough of them...

Dude, Band-Maid is so good they have an alternative identity of themselves called Band-Maiko where they've redone some of their songs to include traditional Japanese instrumentation. For example, there's a song called "Secret My Lips" and then the alternate version called "Secret Maiko Lips". One of my favorites with both versions is called "Screaming" but they don't have a video for it. You'd have to just check out the audio for that one or a live version.

They are great live. Songs like play, awkward, monotarium, onset-instrumental are so good.

Your reaction to Kanami's solo was mine and she's the reason I finally started to learn guitar.

Kanamiさんのソロの後にコケるおっさん最高‼️ ありがとうありがとう👍

Mr Rock and Roll this song saved all their careers with it's popularity maga popularity they kept together -they were about to dispand if it were'nt for THRILL -cheers mate❤

I love how he just keeps looking at his wall like "god dammit I need them up there right now"

They played this one last year at their first headlining show in the USA. (at the Lodge Room in Los Angeles) It had been about a year and a half since they had performed it live. They correctly guessed that the U.S. crowd we would be familiar the music video. Lead singer Saiki mentioned in an interview that they could clearly hear us shout the "Hey!" part, even with their ear monitors in. They've only gotten better since they started writing the vast majority of the music and lyrics themselves, but the earlier material is great as well. Check your 'DICE' reaction video, there are a bunch of BAND-MAID song suggestions left in the comments.

Band-Maid didn’t write this song but they sure played the hell out of it. This is their “Kobato will hold a guitar” phase. Miku has become quite a fine guitarist in just over five years. She’s got Kanami for a teacher, but she’s put in the work. She’s also the band’s poet lyricist, chief promoter, and wise small pigeon of happiness.

This is 5 years old, and still one of their best riffs. The maid outfits come from maid cafes in Japan where all the waitresses are dressed like that.

Mr. Rock and Roll, your videos are AWESOME AND HILARIOUS! I LOVE THEM! My two GREATEST FINDS in 2019 are Nightwish with Floor Jansen and BAND-MAID! Floor is an absolute VIKING GODDESS with pipes of an ANGEL! BAND-MAID is, in my opinion, in the top 3 bands of all time with the BEATLES and LED ZEPPELIN joining them! I HAVE NEVER HEARD A BAND THAT HAS 5 MUSICIANS AS INCREDIBLY TALENTED AND AS TIGHT AS BAND-MAID! They defy logic! At the risk of sounding like a chauvinist, I can’t believe their sound comes from 5 young Japanese GIRLS! MY MIND HAS BEEN PERMANENTLY BLOWN!!!

Suggestions: Choose Me, Alone, Don't You Tell Me (studio and live), Non-Fiction Days, Yolo, Secret My Lips (both regular and Band-Maiko version), Real Existence, Play, Puzzle, Don't Let Me Down, Reincarnation. If you like power ballads, then Endless Story, Daydreaming.

Man Thrill is so old and it shows. The members are all sort of awkward in the video, the costumes are still in flux, they haven't sorted out their identity yet.. But still a great fun song. Also it's back before Miku really knew how to play guitar. She's made incredible progress in the last 5 years!

Welcome to the rabbit hole. These ladies are addictive, and the bonus is they are even better live. I had been to a fair number of concerts in my time, from bands who were known for great live performances- Scorpions 5x, Metallica, Rush, Heart, G&R, Aerosmith, and more. These girls wrecked them all. Because of their limited US tour, I spent over $1K to travel to Dallas to see them, and I would do it over, and over again. They are that good. Read through comments on their vids, and you will find again and again, as they have for me, they have saved hard rock as we knew it. That's F'N Rock and Roll.

Okay, you have a choice to make. You can either watch more Music Videos, say their new one '輪廻 Rennin', or you can check out some of their performances from their Zepp Tokyo LIVE concert. I would start with 'Play!' LIVE. It may not be their best song, but it's a good starting point. There really are no bad songs, but their catalog is wide and deep. So you may occasionally hit on one that's not for you, but that's because they do it all. There's something for everyone. If you do get into some songs you're not into, say slow ballads, just move on to something else. Some are Pop, some Rock, some slow, some are fast. It's a roller-coaster ride. Enjoy!

Band Maid - Real Existence was next single, current single is Rinne, the live version of Choose Me is freaking amazing, and Onset is a 4 minute instrumental that will melt your mind.

I'd suggest Take Me Higher live, but I think it's gonna give him a heart attack

Some day i want someone to look at me the way Heath here looks at Kanami starting a solo... Edit: get you Band-Maid shirt? I think you clearly need a Band-Maid pinny, and one of Akane's little hats - they will suit you SO well!

Great reaction, Next Reincarnation, Moratorium

このおっさん好き❤️

It's my first video for band-maid in 2014! With only 2000 views! Instantly love!

I'm so happy when I see somebody that's new to this band. The maid uniform concept was created by one of the girls who worked for a time at a maid Cafe in Japan. They are pretty but above all else they are all top-notch musicians

こんなにノリノリでいいリアクションしてくれたら嬉しいよ。

I've listened to this a THOUSAND times in 4 days! Some of the best music I've heard in years. Those Girls are top Flight I also noticed the play Of Miku She has really fixed that! JUST SO GOOOD!!!!!!!

check out the live version of their song Play, there is some insane bass slapping \m/ these girls know how to rock!

I found this band about 3 or 4 years ago, Band Maid is the only Japanese band that make me still love and enjoy their music. They are really good and so talented with their music 👍

Next alone mv! This could burn your souls

DUDE. Excellent reaction video! I discovered this band in May 2019 & got hooked on their Sound. And now I got a playlist on my Spotify. THRILL is the track I just gotta hear Blasting out of my car speakers on my way home from work. These women can JAM! It's amazing how this band's videos & songs that came out a few years ago STILL has an affect on us newbies, man. The vocals, that guitarist, that bass-slappin', and Dude...the drummer.....That Drummer. Look man: I NEVER had Any kind of Japanese band/group in my cd collections growing up, or Ever. But this year 2019, I'm blasting jams by Baby Metal & BAND MAID on the commute to, or from work. WHY? Because of their Fans sharing the music here on KZfaq. And now here I am headbanging, air-guitaring, and shouting to this Rock music from Japan just like you bro. HaHaa!

あんた、最高だよ🤘

Well its good you acknowledge that really good music you don't have to understand. Next song? Alone? Moratorium? Well... I guess you'll figure something out 🤘

That bass solo and lead break were so sick.

two songs in. So much to look forward too. For you and everyone else. :P

this was one of the first videos i watched!!!!! and then a few hours later i watched everything and bought their entire discography!!!! its all so damn good!!! theres Real Existence, alone. glory, non fiction days, moratorium, you, DAMNIT THERE'S TOO MANY GREAT SONGS. i really hope you have time to watch all these and immerse yourself in the greatness that is Band-Maid as i said before, love your reaction man lol definitely makes me laugh but its also nice to see someone appreciate it

The best reaction video of the Band Maid, period!

You're my best "Band Maid Thrill reaction" I ever seen on YT ! You really rock !!!

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Awesome!!!!! Japanese band 🇯🇵

Im done oh yeah! Hahahahaha! Arghhhh! This guy is freaking damn real!

MISA is one of the premier bassists working anywhere today and in any genre of music. I believe she was the bassist in Bridear before Band-Maid. They don't get any better.

Yeah Band Maid are cool, they do acoustic songs too. Check out Puzzle acoustic version live in Zepp, you won't know whether to laugh or cry. Whatever next? Roselia?

Thank you great reaction. You so funny. I love your reaction.

I've been listening to rock since the Beatles came to the US, I was 5 at the time. I never had a favourite band, I liked the songs of various bands but never had a favorite band. That ended this year when I first heard Band Maid. I went to their concert this year in LA and was blown away. These young ladies can rock. Try Take Me Higher live for a good workout.

I think fans of band maid that have been around for a few years look back fondly and feel a huge sense of pride in the huge strides this band has made over the last three years (i mean since from 'just bring it' onwards). Their latest album 'conqueror' is immense, 'flying high' being my favourite, oh to see this song live, that gutteral scream whether it's miku or saiki, "shall we" ? 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤, c'mon european festival circuit 2020, its a must.

THESE GIRLS ROCK HARDER THAN ALOT OF AMERICAN BANDS NOW DAYS HANDS DOWN....LOVE THIS BAND !!

7.12.2019 The day Mr Rock N Roll became a Band Maid Fan

Love you man , Your reactions are so real and so is Band Maid . They are saving Rock and Roll !

OH YEA BABY im so glad you went back in time my man, now go check out real existence, alone,day dreaming,choose me,play,yolo, theirs some song to check out great reaction dude keep the band maid rolling

They just released a new single called blooming. It's amazing

Play - live.... you might want a safety vest when you hear this one :)

The ONLY Band Maid React videos that Matter.

It’s a song that shakes the soul ! From 🇯🇵

Yep, that was pretty much my reaction. You want some serious bass soloing? The intro to the live version of Play is killer. The call and answer in "Take Me Higher" (live version) is a must listen! Thrill was the second one I heard from them. The first was "Start Over," considered their weakest by western fans. But as the first one I heard from them it blew me away with the musician ship and talent. Then I hit Thrill and found that they rocked. Next, "Real Existence" and OMFG! I play drums, and when I heard that one, that was it. I made my first iTunes purchase EVER. First money I'd spent on music in DECADEs! Then I found they were going to be playing a show less than 20 miles from my house in a few weeks time. Best 200 bucks I ever spent. Saw them again this year. You have gotta check out their live stuff. But I have to tell you, IT NEVER ENDS! Every new song you hear from them is going to blow you away. It just Never Ends!

A Good metal song ignites man's soul, Band-Maid's songs burn one.

Yup. This was my intro to these ladies. I have listened and watched, I think most of their stuff and have not heard a weak song yet. Even their acoustic versions. I have been listening to all types of music for 60 of my 71 years. These ladies are up amongst the best ever.

🤘🤘❤️🤘🤘 MISA MISA MISA!!! 🤘🤘 Shoot, dunno how I missed you doing this one!!! 😁🤘🤘

check the lives out man,,,,this is nothing ,,first vid they did ages ago

Nice when you said 'I choose you' cuz it is so similar with their song "Choose me", go check it out !

Fantastic reaction! Totally relatable. This is the next big thing. WOW!

Don't be fooled by these girls, they can seriously kick ass 🤘

This was the first one of theirs I ever saw, and I've been obsessed ever since. If anyone had told me how much better it would get I would not have believed them. Now you have to see them live--it's an unforgettable show. In my day, I saw Zeppelin, Purple 3x, Sabbath, Nazareth, Queen, Jeff Beck 3x, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and many more, and I'd rate the Band Maid concert equal or better than any of those experiences. Congrats on falling into the rabbit hole!

Onset live!

Another great hard rock Japanese band is maximum the hormone. songs I would recommend are zetsubou billy and What's up people

You're so funny dude😂 the most entertaining Band Maid reaction videi i've ever seen.

This is the song that they composed themself for the first time, i I thought that they did the arrangement as well but obviously 'alone' is the one where they did all the arrangement and composition themselves. Have you reacted to 'alone' yet? It's another good one from early days.

Watching these ladies mature musically over the years has been a blast... Almost as thrilling as watching my own daughters grow up! I would love to hear them play this again with their updated skills....!!

New subscriber here. Your reaction is thrilling too. I wish someone will use your reaction as a meme. hahahaha

MISA MISA MISA! Nostalgia Nostalgia Nostalgia! 2014 Saiki still hasn't learned how to use her hands and wearing an apron MISA wearing shoes and using a 4 string Miku holding the Guitar like its a weapon (or neck ornament) not an instrument Kanami with Kawaii headgear and of course Akane still with the little hat

You know when you've had one too many ... or five or six ... and you gracefully fall off of your chair and do a face plant? Well, isn't the falling-off-of-the-chair experience more pleasurable when listening to Band-Maid? And, added bonus, you're sure to remember it!

MORE REACTIONS!

this was my gateway, wanted to listen to it again after finishing. I bet you did too!

The next BAND MAID song you should react to is BUBBLE! PLEASE?

This is still one of my favourite Band Maid songs

Sir, please watch Live at Zepp Tokyo 2018, watch the compilation of Kanami having guitar solo!!!

Your reaction is fun to watch and how reaction videos should be in my view. Being a slightly reserved Englishman, I couldn't express so much enthusiasm and movement as you but certainly feel it :-)

Best reaction Thank you！ from 日本

これぞHardrock、７０年代がなつかしいですね。

This band it's awesome! I'll keep on recommend you "Unlucky morpheus" the song "knight of sword", they are a japanese power metal band with a female singer. They are awesome too!

Slap like now!!!

Don't miss the Music Gold Rush interview parts one and two with English Subs. It will give you more background into the band. Watch for Saiki push Miku out into the studio. Kanami is adorable.

Nice to see another reaction of band maid again! And as always your reaction is worth gold. Youre one of the best if not the most awsome guy reacting to songs!and this band maid my day again!

The song that I discovered Band-Maid with. Addicted ever since. Have you reacted to Glory yet? Loving your reactions!

Saiki (singer) is lost in the crowd so Miku (rhythm guitar) has to take over the lead vocals.

I had the same reaction !!!!!

Amazing!!!!!!

"Give this adorable puppy a guitar and it blows your mind" :). I guess you are ready for the band IRONBUNNY. Try their song '23 -twenty-three-' if you want to see an adorable cyborg bunny from the future shred the guitar to the voices of three japanese girls.

I saw them live in LA a couple of months ago and they were amazing. Definitely suggest you check out their live stuff as well. The Non-Fiction Days and Moratorium are a couple of my favorites along with their instrumental Onset. Rinne is a great song as well from their latest album.

Their the Boss applesauce!

Oh my Lord!!! 2:51 into you 2ND!!! video and you just noticed the Maid outfits... I like you have never seen this band before, but Dude LOL I got the Maid theme in like 20 seconds into the 1st vid.... LOL HAHAHA love you man don't stop being you.

I would definitely recommend the band Aldious. This is another all female metal band from Japan, and the video "We Are" is amazing!

Thanx for reacting to Band-Maid!!! If you see the live video version, you really gonna get your mind blown away! Moratorium live version, Play live version, or Puzzle live version, are good for the start!!! Hope you enjoy, Mr. Rock N Roll!!!!! Peace and Cheers from Tokyo!　( ´∀｀ )
