Simply put, the best live rock band on the planet at this point in time.

"My cheeks hurt, how much I'm smiling" welcome to Band-Maid, VERDY, just welcome. yeah, it's all this wonderful

FROM JAPAN　◆　Thank you for your reaction to BAND-MAID. BAND MAID is celebrating its 9th year of formation. BAND was formed by a girl who came to Tokyo from a local city of Japan to become a singer when she was about 19 years old. Five unique and talented girls gathered. The members have not changed, and they are continuing their efforts to improve their playing ability. They are constantly writing new songs and cool songs. Three new songs were released at the end of October. BAND MAID is a hard rock band, but it's a very diverse band. Listen to different types of songs. 1 Thrill　　 : The first music video that saved them from dissolution. Classic rock 2014 2 Sense : The theme song of the anime "Platinum End". Dramatic, fast hard rock with a classic intro. 2021.10 3 Bubble : A tribute to the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, funky rock 4 Different : First anime opening song, new sense of high-speed rock. Anime is Log Horizon 3rd season. 2020.12 5 Daydreaming : Beautiful power ballad. Saiki and Kobato vocals and Kanami's guitar solo are wonderful. 6 Dice : Rhythmic hard rock singing women's independence 7 about us : A gift for fans who cannot meet in a pandemic. Beautiful ballad. 2021.02 8 Freedom : A power rock that walks around the stage and conveys a smile. The transition from drum solo to lead guitar is the best. 9 Manners : Declaration to create new hard rock while inheriting classic rock. Cool hard rock. Rock'n'Roll never die. 10 alone : The song they wrote, composed and released for the first time. Medium speed Hard Rock 2016 11 Secret My Lips & Secret Maiko Lips : Funky Hard Rock. A gift for fans of April Fool's Day . 12 Blooming : Vocals and chorus are impressive, and various types of music are fused. 13 RINNE : High-speed rhythmic heavy rock, inspired by the Japanese horror movie "RINNE : Reincarnation". 　　　　　　 RINNE (Reincarnation) is also found in Eastern thought and Buddhist thought. 14 onset : Instrumental song for lead singer Saiki breaks, their great playing power and harmony. 15 Before Yesterday : Record of the first overseas performance, Sakura-Con in Seattle 2016. Melodic Rock with great lyrics. 16 Choose me : An insert song of the concert scene the Netflix movie KATE, they appeared as BAND MAID. Cool rock song. 17 Dragon Cry : The only song produced by Tony Visconti. It's not their lyrics, but it sings about the future of human society and the earth. Great Heavy Classic Rock . 18 After Life : A homage to the maid cafe and band formation where Kobato worked. BAND-MAID Hard Rock . 19 Corallium : The song that Saiki wrote all the lyrics for the first time. Hip pop style dancing hard rock. Added ★ Peace & Love　: Founder Miku Kobato's solo project. Pigeon saves the world. Funky pop rock.

Your joy and obvious awe in how great these wonderful young women is just fun to see! Band-Maid bring it every time 🤘 Try Manners/Black Hole (live)… 🎸

It is so cool that you were so focused in the performance that you didn't even notice the video aesthetics.👍 For the best Kanami guitar solos in MV (music videos) look for "Alone", "YOLO", "The Non Fiction Days", "Blooming", "Daydreaming" and "Order" though this last one isn't available in their KZfaq channel.😉

It's their trademark to keep on reviving all the oldies but with new concept..new touch new feel...mix all togather from pop to metal but still hard rock feel....no surprise 😚its Band-Maid genre... That's why we're all like the feels of it

It's so great to follow your journey through Band-Maid music! I'm loving your videos!

Great reaction! Carry on, you'll love it. Facial pain from smiling is part of being a Band-Maid fan!

I'd say sometime soon there will be a giant BAND-MAID Poster on the wall behind you 😁😁😁

Yes also I suffer from cheek aches from over-smiling every time I listen to Band-Maid!

Loving the double Band Maid reaction! 🤘😀🤘

Kanami is brilliant at composing songs that seem familiar but at the same time fresh and new, but always distinctly Band-maid. This band never fails to make you smile, another great instrumental showcase is "without holding back " OMV So many more songs to discover and many more smiles so enjoy 🙏

Yes, Band-Maid is a fantastic hard rock band with jazz, soul, funk influences; they are versatile musicians. Japan is the country with more all-female rock bands in the world. I guess that eventually you’re going to react to Lovebites, an outstanding Japanese all-female (mostly) power metal band, out of this world. Some people say that rock is not dead, it just moved to Japan.

Great job! 👍 more Band Maid please! 😁 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂

Thanks VERDY! Great reaction.

I like your reaction. Please continue to listen to Band-Maid songs.

Thanks for the great reaction to 2 great songs- and THANKYOU for paying attention to what comments suggest in terms of which videos- like the MV or offical lives. Too many bad reactors just grab the first video with the right name they find- like a terrible fancam with 2000 views instead of the offical live with like 8 million!

While Band-Maid are always best live, their MV's are all really impressive too. I'd recommend the MV's of 'Blooming' ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q7ukkq1zstXHe4E.html ) and 'Daydreaming' ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iKmRmLic16_YqY0.html ) in particular, though I've yet to discover a bad song by them, whether it's an MV, live or acoustic. Oh, and if you like Saiki's vocals, then try 'Wonderland' live ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rpqYq6-WrcjViqM.html ). They also have the deepest and most interesting lyrics too (all written by the unfeasibly, ridiculously beautiful Miku, founder of the band and rhythm guitarist). Kanami, the lead guitarist, composes the music and likes to push all the others hard with her intricate and perfectly crafted music. Nice to see your obvious appreciation of THE best Rock band on Earth.

Band-Maid are just 10/10 in every segment: composing, execution, lyrics, fun factor, overall effect on audience. Every song you hear, you think it cannot possibly be any better. Then they play the next one, and somehow it *is* better. I wonder what it would feel like, to be this talented at something.

Hearing Onset and Dice for the 1st time on the same day . Life is good 👍.

Yeah, the instrumental songs showcase their skills, but they also use them to give Saiki a break. She once developed polyps on her vocal chords and required surgery.

MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! the Barefoot Bass Assassin .

...and a special guest appearance by TinyHat-san.

MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃

great reaction you get it love both songs and DICE a nonstopp rocker

Awesome reaction love your channel WARNING THE SURGEON GENERAL HAS ANNOUNCED THAT LISTENING TO BAND MAID CAN CAUSE SEVERE CHEEK PAIN FROM SMILING TO MUCH THERE IS NO CURE AND I CONSIDERED TO BE HABIT FORMING BE WELL

You mention at 2:33 playing the strings with her fingers ; that's called tapping. It's a pretty easy technique to learn, and the tapping that Kanami does here isn't difficult. It's more about her guitar playing the "vocals" of the song while Miku's chunky guitar sound fills up the sound underneath and a backing track is thrown in every now and then. Tapping can be made more difficult in various ways and at higher speeds, such as in "Holy War" by LOVEBITES when Midori and Miyako do eight-finger tapping in unison along with Miho doing one-hand tapping on the bass guitar. Tapping sounds cool - I've always been a sucker for a good tapping part - but it's been a staple of rock and metal since Eddie Van Halen popularized it in the 70s and 80s. Moreover, since Kanami is a pretty good pianist, tapping is probably a bit easier for her than non-pianist guitarists.

MISA MISA MISA !

Your last Band-Maid reaction caused a fun overload head explosion, and now this! Stop! I can't take it! Except if you stopped I'd be really sad. What we're facing then is either more head explosions or sadness. At least it won't be both!

I think your a Maidiac, Verdy.....Welcome 🤗❤🎙🎸🥁😎👌

Lead guitarist is fucking insane dude holy shit.

Your honest reaction to the music is great and it shows. So many acts like they've never heard the songs and you can tell they have. Awesome job! I just subscribed!

Please next after life and real existance

great reaction! Band maid is the best. Blooming for next!

Great reaction Verdy, so cool. Well, we can count you as another maidiac. Wellcome to the groupie van. Two songs plenty of surprises "Blooming" (official MV) and "No God" (official live). I think you would like them. Good job!

My, my! You got a comment from Ryan Mear, one of the very best reactors on KZfaq! Congratulations! May I suggest you raise the volume of the band's video as your voice is far too louder? Meaning no disrespect! Nice reaction! Keep on truckin! Best regards, Robert-Gilles

Very nice reaction on both of these songs. It fun to see how people are both surprised and happy when they hear Band-Maid. Merci Beaucoup pour la reaction. - Peace and Respect from Canada

girl, you have so many absolute bangers awaiting with Band-Maid

I have no idea how this BM react got by me but it did. I almost spit my beer through my nose when you cussed.....Lol! I never thought I'd hear that from you.....too funny. I too love, which is present in many songs, how they go "All In Jam" towards the end of their songs. "Manners" is one, and "Blooming" is the best for that. Everyone's in and giving it their all. They are just good straight up Rockers!

Also, let's hear it for the drummers tiny hat :) It's been less than a week since I discovered and I've already downloaded two albums! Crazy! Crazy good, that is :)

Oui, demoiselle, Band-Maid fait la joie ! (I blame Google translate if that’s poor Quebec-style French 😂) Do you play guitar? How’s that going? I should see if you have videos of you playing. You must listen to one of Band Maid’s slower tempo songs - they are absolutely ‘belle’! There are: - Daydreaming - official MV - Wonderland - official live video - About Us - a song to their fans during the pandemic 😷 Have a merveilleuse evening! 👋🏼

they just make you happu

If yer doing combos I'd suggest the following Band Maid songs: Bubble & Manners

If you like this, watch Baby Metal! Another great Band from Japan.

endless story non fiction days doooo it sweetypie

Hello Miss 🤘☕🇲🇨 Come bro react talent 3girls hijab metal Indonesia band VoB:god, allow me (please) to play music, amazing skill & baddas 🤘 #VoBfansBase🇲🇨🤘☕

Tu parles super bien anglais , mais tu es Française non ?

I have no idea what is going on at Tokyo music school but in my opinion they destroy Metallica. These women are fierce.

Nice reaction VERDY. Genuinely excited. You chose a great combo. Smiling throughout. Something to aspire to. To keep you going how about the combo MV YOLO and MV BLOOMING. You'll eventually have a permanent smile because BAND-MAID is Awesome. Peace.

Band-Maid always brings an ONSET of love, appreciation and happiness to their viewers. Why? Because they're so damn good -- good-natured, good-hearted, good-looking, and beyond good as writers, players and performers. Wow, right?! Thx, Verdy!

Two for one! They are Queens of the dramatic pause! Most bands would be lucky to have one player as good as them. Dice was my first love. It's definitely early 2000s pop-punk. Part of why I love it. But they of course don't stick to one kind of rock.

Roll the 🎲 *DICE* 🎲 on *BAND-MAID* and be a winner all the time _winner winner chicken dinner!!!_ _(Plugin a little _*_BAND-MAID_*_ to brighten up your day)_

Oh btw Axe Japan just did a guitar tutorial of the Band-Maid song I Still Seek Revenge. It would be cool if you did a reaction. And then you learn a piece too!
