Man her antics during her solo between freedom and moratorium are off the wall great

Like here (I sincerely recommend reacting to it, it was an incredibly great part of the recent Hamburg show): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iN6dhcyIrcCXhH0.html It's actually three songs in a row, 𝗧𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝗠𝗘 𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗘𝗥, 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗗𝗢𝗠 and 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗨𝗠. You'll get Akane's solo in Freedom, and Kanami's wild solo before Moratorium. You will not be disappointed, I promise. Take Me Higher is one of their heaviest songs, and in this live version, Kanami is filling this song with her amazing guitar work all the way through. They've decided to remove the bass-guitar conversation from it, which was one of the highlights in all the concerts during the last year. You'll have to check that "conversation" sometime in future, definitely. But in this version, it's absent. But so much is added in its stead, o my...

Yeah, Kanami always gives off that shy, "girl next door" vibe in interviews and then turns into a tornado on stage!

@Vladimir Chupin Your videos are very much appreciated. Helps to tide us over between concerts here in the USA.

Recently, Saiki has been way more smiling and relax even off stage - I easily made her laugh (and Misa too) during the meet & greet in Bochum (Germany concert) - no coldness at all! But you're right: on stage she has a incredible charisma that no video was able to catch untill recently (watch Hambourg "Logo" videos to see what I mean) - I've seen tons of great frontman & woman in concert and she's easily amongst the best ones, very confortable with the audience.

@@realdocloco It was nice of them to return your bag, and awesome that people got it on video.

@@jumpingpeppers2263 Trivia: I was actually filming when it happened! But I was so stunned that I completely forget my camera and put it away, so I only recorded the sound - luckily, there's at least three recordings by audience members. No need to say how high I praise this moment!

@@realdocloco Lucky you... That actually showcased their great personalities very brightly. Oh man... they've decided to return the bag, which they, of course, did not need for themselves, but which is a collectable for any fan. Such a perfect integrity and a high sense of justice! Very rarely you see a musician who could serve as a role model, most of the great rock stars were actually quite nasty people in everyday life. @K Darlings, if you wonder what we are talking about, watch this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pcB_Z7SKq6u0e2w.html It's a 7 minutes break in the middle of the Bochum/Germany show, where they are just having a rest, probably because they were tired from the London gig the day before. Miku is talking (her English has improved significantly over the last year), and succeeds in making other members of the band talk as well. Usually, they try to escape such invitations from Miku, she chases them with a microphone on stage, and they hide behind amplifiers, each other, and other scenic objects :-) But in Bochum, they were very much relaxed, for some reason. We've seen an unheard-of phenomenon: MISA came to the microphone and talked! :-) And then, of course, that incredible thing of returning BAND-MAIKO bag to Doc Loco... That was fantastic. And then somebody threw a teddy bear on stage... That turned to be cute in the end, but the fans were actually alarmed post factum, because throwing things on stage is a bad practice, and we don't want irresponsible fans to pick up this habit. Thanks a lot for your wonderful reactions! I sincerely enjoy them.

Saiki's mom has even commented about how different she seems. She has seen videos of Saiki on stage, and Saiki on stage is super different than Saiki day-to-day. And, Misa's mom has commented that Saiki's princess personality is the real deal; it's not just an affectation for the band.

The one where she goes cave exploring in the maid outfit is my favorite. 🙂

@@jumpingpeppers2263 this one kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdicntNl0Kych6M.html

@@realdocloco That's the one 🙂 I think Akane would also make a really good host, but it's really funny watching people's reactions to Miku. They can't figure her out, and she stands out so much.

@@jumpingpeppers2263 I also like the one where she goes shooting.

@Simeon Kohlman Rabbani And my favorite is the one where she gets decked out in Samurai gear. : )

I thought the same. Why would you miss the opportunity to react to the songs played during this interview? It would be a legitimate reaction, like any other you do. What you say about "reacting to them in the future," is a bit funny, believe me, because you still have 70+ songs to react to, and by the time you cover the basics, there will be a new album published in December, and there will be at least 20 more songs to react to. Don't worry, you'll be busy for a year or two, if you react only to the BAND-MAID songs :-) And if you cover their interviews as well... it will be 10 years :-)

Miku entertains the crowd during break time. You can't understand 95% of what she says, but it is 100% Hilarious!!!

They already reacted to puzzle live. 😎

Do you actually believe in astrology? Or is it just a gimmick?

@@VladimirChupin There are a lot of things in astrology I don't believe. I have read a lot of old school books on the subject. I just like to think that there are planetary influences that make us all unique. Along with other factors.

@@VladimirChupin I would also like to add that many air signs appear to be air heads. I find it very interesting that the air signs all tend to like each other and thus the Kanami/Saiki connection. Libra is common sense smart and Aquarians are the geniuses or crazies(They can go either way). Gemini is book smart.

@@VladimirChupin Also, I would love to tell them this at the meet and greet, but the language barrier would be too much to overcome, so I will probably just quietly meet and greet.

@@kirkscott2 Mmmmm... Astrology for me was always synonymous with grift. I understand that people may love it just for the sake of fun, in the same way as they talk about Harry Potter's-style magic, but there are so many people who tip over that edge and start to take it serious, that I am rather concerned about such amusements. It's like with alcohol. People enjoy it, and develop a whole gourmet industry around it, and it all seems fine... until you see the father of your wife in his two-week drinking bout, when he steals all money from the house, escapes to the street and drinks there with the bums... Whatever. Sorry for the off-topic.

We just learned about Band-Maid recently when they were left as a request. They are incredible, and we can't wait to hear more! Hugs and love! 😍💕🥰😘

@T Zero Karuppo also became a Miku nickname because she made that sound so much.

One terrible disadvantage of English is that you can't reproduce the sound with its spelling. Thank God, there's Google Translate. Just listen to this one: translate.google.com/#view=home&op=translate&sl=en&tl=ja&text=akane-san I've added "-san" at the end, this way it sounds more proper.

@@chrisbergsten1429 The last syllable on "Akane" is pronounced exactly like the first syllable in "never". I have no idea what you're on about.

@@chrisbergsten1429 I don't know what to tell you, other than you're wrong. You're probably pronouncing it with an American accent, like this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g95yjbiVqbzYfJ8.html The way I described it, it's the correct Japanese way of saying her name. Watch some interviews, you'll hear the difference.

@@chrisbergsten1429 translate.google.com/#view=home&op=translate&sl=en&tl=ja&text=akane-san If you want to hear how she herself pronounces her name, here it is: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/brShktWWr6iYg40.html Germans actually were screaming her name correctly, only the stress was a bit wrong: she corrected us, and said her name is Akáne, with the stress on the second syllable.

@@VladimirChupin The Japanese language is all evenly stressed.

@@jumpingpeppers2263 I was thinking about it, and was actually a bit surprised when Akane corrected us in this regard. Especially when you chant something in a crowd, all syllables are evenly stressed... well, more or less. If we would scream "Akáne," with the stress the way she put it, the rhythm of that chant would be entirely different, of course.
