Band Maid DESERVES to be on the big stage. They have come a long way in 10 years and this song proves it. Their sound in epic. When they play in Atlanta and then Nashville, there should be record label execs attending those concerts to see how talented Band Maid is. Screw the language barrier, these women are RockStars!!!

Some songs are churned out by a factory, others are written by an amateur with a passion but lack of technical skill, yet others are engineered by a master technician with nothing to say. And some songs are crafted to perfection by a master with a passion and something to say, insane amounts of work and care going into every single detail having its place. Most bands produce a mix of these. What sets BAND-MAID apart is that the vast majority of their music falls into the last category. Nothing is left to chance, no aspect of the song neglected. True artists.

I almost positive that the reason Kanami's guitar is louder this show is because so many people complained about her guitar being so quiet in past shows. And I'm pretty sure it's because they read comments on their videos and get feedback from their fans.

The Maids have hinted that they want to do more tour dates in the US in August, but they haven't announced any yet for August, so you might get lucky. You are probably going to get hit with dozens of requests for the acoustic version of "Puzzle" with only Kanami and Saiki. The lyrics are the same in both versions, but they seem to have a completely different meaning with the acoustic version. As for the question of which band member I'd like to take music lessons with I would probably pick all of them.

@ShikataGaNai100 Жыл бұрын

The interplay of Saiki and Miku on vocals, with Kanami chiming in on guitar is epic. Miku has also become a very legit guitarist in the past few years...not bad when you remember she couldn't even hold a guitar properly when BAND-MAID formed.

I watched the live stream of the TGT concert. My sense is that for this video they mixed DI from the board with some live mics for ambient sound, and then they compressed the result in the same way that curses the UNSEEN WORLD album. I’m so happy to have this available, but maybe the Studio Coast recording sound better.

For whatever reason Miku puts Saiki (and herself) in some pretty heart rending emotional places with her lyrics. Saiki has said that she doesn't just want to sing the notes and the words she wants us to believe it. On some occasions she has had to fight back her tears. A lot of the fans sight this song (the live acoustic with Kanami on backing vocal and guitar) as their favourite.

So many thoughts on this. Miku, she has taken her guitar AND vocals to a new level, good on her. Kanami, she plays a magical solo throughout the whole song. How does she do that? Saiki, wow, just wow. She hits every note perfectly. Akane, so consistent, perfect actually. She is so good. And finally, Misa Misa Misa, if you just listen to her part, you realize this song would not be what it is without her carrying the whole bottom of it all, a bass solo on her own for the entire song. I'm seeing them in Houston a week from now, man oh man, I can't wait!

@pulp-tx6lq Жыл бұрын

Great reaction as usual Tony. Kanami's mix did seem to be a bit loud and dare I say slightly distracting with that Angus Young sounding Riff playing over the vocals. I think it should have been mixed down a bit and Miku brought up a little. Still a banger of a song 🔥

It's not your headset, its the mix on the video. They seemed to have pushed the treble a little higher on this mix this time.

This is, and always will be, one of my top 10 if not top 5 songs from Band-Maid.

It isn't your headphones, it IS too effing LOUD, in fact to the point of being distorted. The audio on the official videos of the Tokyo Garden Theatre concert (which are from the BRD/DVD) is just the stereo from the live-stream of the concert back in January, which has had a shed-load of compression, hard-limiting and possibly treble boost (crudely) applied. If you look around there's a recording of the entire live-stream and its _unmolested_ audio (even as 128kbps aac) is so much better - none of that clipping-distortion on the vocals and a lot of the guitars. I've compared them in an editor - the bluray looks like a solid block with occasional gaps, the meters stay pinned between *-2dB and 0dB* almost constantly. Frankly I was gutted when I first listened to the bluray a few days ago because I was hoping that like many concert recordings (intended for home theatre systems) it had escaped the clutches of a "mastering engineer".

Anyhoo, Band-maid were obviously hit badly by the lockdowns, like most musicians they need to play to make a living, and on top of that they were just breaking through overseas (that US tour last year would probably have happened in 2020) . Of all the live recordings they've released this latest seem like a rush job - the concert was a live-streamed on a subscription service and I don't think it was intended for release on disc - it sounds like they didn't even capture a multi-track (the audio on the bluray is just PCM stereo).
