Miku says "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!"

Yes.

And this song also just invites you to do it

Some times you can say the most without saying anything.

Fancy a cigarette?

iWanna Be In Your Choir.....

@@pjlu2 Ha! Fancy seeing you here...and there...and everywhere! 🤣😁😂

And long life Chase!

You're spot on my friend.

@@ChaseCarneson it's FM Radio and "the people' behind such "entities" that have all the eggs on their faces..... british & murikan TV are dead, eh! they can KEEP ARYAN anderson cooper and it's poodle duh snoop dogg.....

@Slippy6582 I think that look you see on his face is the same look you see on all BAND-MAID fans faces. They give me that warm fuzzy feeling all the time.

@@patron40silver Yeah, after i listened to the whole album (i needed a 10 minute break after Black Hole) i just was very glad i found these ladies and can enjoy their music. Not gonna lie, almost teared up a little bit, i am follow them for a while, they always improve, they get more and more attention, it makes you proud to be part of it. They are amazing!

Agreed !--the Miku touch is a touch of charm and sensuality .

I don't know that I'd even call it jazz, though. Makes me think of an En Vogue outro done Radiohead style. Which is freakin' NUTS.

Would it though? Look close at the Budokan teaser video., at first Kanami sensei looks like she is clasping her hands demurely, then at the end you see the eyes of a mastermind calculating.

@@tonylekas3041 By now, they know it’s long overdue. They deserve it. They’ve deserved it for some time. And then they deserve to sell out Madison Square Garden and big arenas all over the world. They’re that good.

Yes, sometimes all you need is just laid back and enjoyed some masterpiece. Viva Band Maid 🤘🤘

I have never heard Akane do a roll until this track, of course you can still hear every strike. (11:03)

Album SPOILERS!! I've only listened to "Unseen World" once for now. "H-G-K" and "I still seek revenge." are the only two tracks that I wasn't sure I really liked. There is a lot going on in these songs so I'll try to be more focused for my next heavy plays. "Ambition" is another track I have to check more because I thought it was just ok. But the other tracks are pure fire! You were talking about Kanami's riffs and in this album she's being very busy. My favorite riffs, for now, are "NO GOD", "After Life" and "BLACK HOLE". "CHEMICAL REACTION" has another great riff and it's even more stadium rock than "Manners". "Nightingale" is the best Miku's song IMO. Her voice in the chorus reminds me of Misaki's voice from the band Sokoninaru. "Why Why Why" could have been called "Wah Wah Wah" with those nasty riffs. I love this song. "Giovanni" is a great song too. My favorite song is still "After Life" but it's mainly because I've heard it a hundred of times 😅 MISA is grooving like never on this album. Akane...man she's a machine. She's beating those drums non stop. There isn't a slower song on this album (and that is a real surprise for me) to give her a little rest. But what really shines for me are the vocals. The vocals harmonies, all Miku's screams and a lot of innovative ideas we've never heard before from BAND-MAID. Saiki's english is better, her voices is magnificent on every song. I can't wait to hear them perform these songs live!

Shout-out to the pigeon cries throughout the album. Honestly my favourite parts and this is an amazing album. Really wanna see the live version of Miku's song because her notes are quite high this time. Beyond impressive 💖

@@2abug [Unseen World, My opinions/short review ] So this might change in time but here’s my favs from Unseen World after listening through for around 6 times. All lists are sorted by order of personal preference. Manners H-G-K After Life No God I Still Seek Revenge Warning! Black Hole Why Why Why Honkai Sayonakidori Giovanni Chemical Reaction Specific details that stood out to me: Intro: I Still Seek Revenge No God After Life Giovanni Outro: Manners (by far, easily among my fav till date) H-G-K Main riff section: H-G-K No God I Still Seek Revenge After Life Chorus: Warning! H-G-K No God After Life Pre-chorus: Manners (by a mile again, so good) Bridge: Manners & H-G-K (Manners would’ve gotten another “by a mile” if it wasn’t for this piece of brilliance) Vocals: Overall- Manners Why Why Why Saiki- Manners Miku- Why Why Why Lyrics: This will have to wait till official ones come out but Manners still takes the win for their best ever Japanese-English alternating lyrics. Nothing feels awkward or lost in translation, perfectly blending with the vibe, flow and attitude of the song. It even nails the context of the MV dropping right before Unseen World dropped. If there ever was a Madiac Anthem, this should be it. Drum work: H-G-K (Akane going ham on the 2nd verse was epic! Also, the way she matched Kanami’s intensity towards the end of the solo was so well timed) No God (This was supposed to be Misa’s highlight but She just took it for me. I could hardly focus on anything other than her insanely catchy and gut-punching beat throughout the whole song) Bass work: No God (Obvious choice :) I Still Seek Revenge After Life H-G-K Manners Guitar work aka Solo Time: H-G-K (Handsdown fav solo, this song was pretty much Kanami doing everything she does best. If I had to pick their best representative song for the “Signature BM sound” at its current finest, this would be my pick. This has everything that got me hooked to BM initially and everything else I’ve grown to love) After Life (This was Kanami’s pick too :) Vibe/Groove: Manners (This replaced my previous all time fav “Turn me on”. So much groove that they had to add it to the lyrics itself 🤣 Also, Miku screaming “Yeah yeah yeah” to kickstart the solo buildup is such a mood, gets me everytime) WTF moment: Giovanni (The way Saiki came in and honestly the whole song. I’m still in the process of deciphering what they did with this song so.. ) Best Overall Moment: H-G-K - That flawless transition from the chorus to the solo and to the bridge esp. how the solo tapered off to the bridge. It didn’t even feel like a transition but more like an extension of the chorus. And that flow was maintained till the end of the song. Exceptional craftsmanship! Kanami clearly outdid herself on this track. The other standout would be Miku’s vocals throughout the album. The squeals, growls, screams.. you name it 😅 she was everywhere and while some were rather amusing, in many places it was just perfect and added so much to the song. Sayonakidori was pretty great as well. Can’t wait to hear it live esp. that high note at the end. Overall WD is still their most solid hard rock album imo. Conqueror had a lot of new things I liked. And this to me felt like something built upon both of them, rather than branching out. This has more grit and aggression than WD and the new elements/sounds they introduced in Conqueror were used with much more finesse here. Manners is probably the one that benefitted the most from Conqueror. I can totally see it doing well in the charts. CONCLUSION- Unseen World is worthily their latest and their Best so far, in my books.

well said, that's exactly it.

There's a lot of subtle, brilliant stuff in the video: there's a globe in the birdcage (World Domination), the staircase and the clock represent their ascent over time, Akane with the scales is a metaphor for their attention to stylistic balance. Kudos to the video director. Not gonna be surprised if Kobato-san and/or Saiki scripted it.

"This isn't even our final form!"

Kanami is confident that she can grow even more as a guitarist.

if you listen for it, you can hear it too. she is pretty much playing sub riffs at times now and not just holding a chord progression by their next album she may even be in a spot to do dueling or tandem rides with Kanami. that would be so sick to hear.

Kanami recently said she no longer composes with Miku's level of ability in mind. That's quite a compliment coming from your sensei.

She is even doing a small solo-ish ;-) one or two notes but ..Yes!

Did she ever. The confidence that she displays is mind blowing. Miku has become a damn good guitarist. She is thinking like a guitarist and it shows with confidence and swagger. Band Maid is becoming a solid force that can no longer be denied.

Yes she actually plays some lead in this song!

Thank you friend.

Some great music and literature were written that way. And yeah, Kanami watering the band and the hand movement simulating plantlike growth makes a lot of sense. Glad you shared this.

Excellent concept. It's a beautiful metaphor.

🙏🙏🙏

That's actually a question I have: What does the title mean? The lyrics are pretty straightforward, but I don't see the connection with subject and the title. Maybe something that didn't translate clearly?

@@stevehall5128 That's a good question. I inferred that "Manners" meant keeping their discipline & self respect to achieve their aim. And we all know what that is. It's only my opinion tho Steve, so it could mean something different (no pun) :)

@@stevehall5128 Sometimes with Band-Maid there is no connection between title and actual song. It's the way they roll

Did you go back in time???

The hands and fingers reaching out to grab the world remind me of the fictional mega corp in Mel Brooks' movie "Silent Movie," named, aptly, 'Engulf and Devour'.

GG Crabuki you don't have to be jealous of Nela bellovoda. I've listened to "Unseen World" too. Be INSANELY jealous. MWA-HAA-HAA-HAAAAA!!!

@@GaryHolloway-810 I hate you, you Dad jokin', comment makin', piss takin' son of gun! :-)

@@crabuki1273 LMAO. I do like our chats but you've gotta calm down on that scuttlin' & scrutin' :D

Agreed. She just keeps getting better and more confident each time out. Her vocals were phenomenal on this too.

🙏🙏🙏

The bass in the whole song is simply freaking amazing. MISA MISA MISA :´)

Aaaah wow. This is so kind of you to say. Honestly, really appreciate it.

😄

Godzilla-sized flex...

I read that Kanami, MISA and Akane all learned classical piano as kids (just like Eddie and Alex Van Halen!!) which I guess must influence their composing prowess/ music knowledge. Daydreaming has a beaut piano intro on the 2017 concert blu-ray I have...Kanami, I think...will have to watch again :-)

@@philproffitt8363 Yes, I believe both Kanami and Misa have experience playing guitar, bass, drums and piano as well as singing. Misa is without a doubt the better bassist, but seems Kanami's more proficient at the other instruments. I think Kanami's also said she plays (or has in the past) something else too, but I can't remember what it was. I know she, Misa and Akane all have had a proper musical education, too. I can't remember if Akane ever played piano, but you might be right in saying she has. I know she never played guitar or bass, though, but has recently tried to learn bass with Misa's help. Saiki has also apparently started practicing piano and guitar recently.

@@KalloSkull I could see Saiki prowling with a suitably gothic looking 'keytar'...YEAH!!

@@KalloSkull Akane had a guitar at one point in the past, because in Miku's Zemaitis interview when they asked what guitars she would give her bandmates, she said she'd give Akane a red Telecaster, and A-chan responded on Instagram that her first (only? IIRC in high school) guitar was in fact a red Telecaster.

@@stevehall5128 - Awesome!

Me too. So, are they coming within 500 miles of you? They are me. Heading to see them in DC from Va Beach.

Sure it was just a few bends, but she's on her way to busting a true, pure solo. I was hoping for Budokan, but I will have to wait for the next online live stream. Please, Miku, make us all happy and bust out that solo.

can hardly wait for her to do unisons with her senpai.

Yes!!

@@geraldgetskow3420 should be her sensei

There's some new found insights from you. Is this the 2021 Dave we can expect :)

@@GaryHolloway-810 as I said on another reaction Domination was their Statement of Intent (What they Plan) and Manners is their Mission Statement (How they Plan to do it)

Bass is full New song. My crystal ball shows people screaming "MISA, MISA, MISA" and dancing around a huge figure of Mass with you in the lead.

@@satocalbee8857 And we'll be right behind him Sato :)

...and don't you just love that "ah,ah,ah,ah"? :-)

They certainly have not been idle this pandemic.

@@kalebdaark100 Absolutely! I particularly love it because this song shows a side of her voice that I hadn't heard, before.

Aaah thanks man appreciate that.

😉🙏
