Easy to explain. Band Maid doesn't play a genre, Band Maid IS a genre. Pop, punk, prog, thrash, rock. Metal. They roll it all into a fantastic ball and the unique Band Maid sound comes out.

You guys have a future. I am nominating you for the best new reaction couple of the year. Anybody second that motion?

Actually they do PLAY. Meaning you should check out the song "PLAY" live of course.

Instrumentals during concerts is exactly what they do...the best in the world.

Whether playing the onset of Onset on set or offset by Onset off set BAND-MAID are always set to deliver killer Hard Rock music :)

Band-Maid's lead singer, Saiki, had surgery for throat polyps a few years ago. Since then, the band has been very protective of her voice. As part of that, each serving (as they call their concerts) has a section halfway through where Saiki leaves the stage to rest. Meanwhile, the rest of the band does a few songs where Miku sings lead, some instrumentals, and Miku does her Magic Spell Time bit (improv comedy in the middle of a rock concert- must be seen to be believed).

Can i just mention that pretty girl & beard monster man are two of the best new reactors to BAND-MAID I've seen. And by Maidiac law that means they have to do a doubler next of "Don't You Tell Me" MV & live at Yokohama.😁

Instrumentals came about for a very practical reason. Saiki developed polyps on her vocal cords kinda early in the bands existence and eventually had to have surgery to get them removed. Since then she’s been very diligent in taking care of her voice. She works with a vocal coach to strengthen it, drinks a syrup during shows to keep them from getting damaged again and the band put in a break mid show for her, so they do a chat with the audience that is very fun, usually followed by an instrumental or two and a song sung by Miku.

Ok...Band Maid SHARE the spotlight....no ego holds the band back.....also...to their abilities....Band Maid are the ONLY Band I'm aware of that can take the stage as a 1 piece, a 2 piece, a 3 piece, a 4 piece and a 5 piece band and the music doesn't suffer at all.....5 humble geniuses.....imho

When I saw them in Silver Spring, MD this song was immediately followed by From Now On. My jaw was on the floor.

They have 4 officially released instrumental only tracks (Don't Be Long, From Now On, Without Holding Back, and Onset), but they also have several songs that on the officially released track have vocals, but they also provided instrumental recordings on a special or bonus CD or DVD. They also have many acoustic versions of their songs released. For something different, try Sayonakidori acoustic official video. There is also a cover band out there called "Band Maiko" that are pretty good as well. They have a couple of videos out.

Another great reaction. Instrumentals...they use them to give their lead singer, Saiki, a break. The instrumental, or two, along with a song, or two, from Miku (Second lead, backing vocals, rhythm guitar) in the lead, followed by Omajinai Time (Magic Spell Time, I know this must sound weird, but it is truly entertaining), lead by Miku, give Saiki a good long break. Saiki has had vocal issues in the past and has had an operation to address it. That with vocal training, her voice is stronger than it's ever been. No US tour announce yet for this year, but if you want to go to Japan, they have what they are calling their "Hall" tour. June 28th, in Aichi. July 5th, in Osaka. July 14th in Kanagawa. They are also playing in 3 festivals in Japan. July 21, "Osaka Gigantic Music Festival". Aug 16, "Rising Sun Rock Festival". Aug 17, "Summer Sonic". They are also working on their new album release which is due out at the end of this summer. PO!🕊 As for songs, to see other dimensions of the Maids: "Daydreaming" OMV is a fantastic rock ballad, and always in my top 2, usually #1. "Blooming" OMV, the other in my top two, is a masterpiece of a composition. "Domination" Official Live was often used to introduce new people to the band. Gives you a little bit of everything. "Freedom" Official Live features Akane (the Gorilla) on drums "Manners" and "Black Hole" Official Live. Gives you two different feels for the band again, with Manners being a bluesy/groovy song and BH is just a experience of controlled chaos of speed. "Rinne" OMV if you want something a bit harder. "Bestie" OMV is their latest release. Collaboration with Mike Einziger from Incubus. Mike Co-wrote the song with the Maids and Miku did the lyrics. A ballad with a different sound to expand the Maid diversity in their portfolio. The Maids opened for Incubus in Japan on 5/1/24. They did the first live performance of this song with Mike joining them for the song.

These women do play! Check out ‘Play’ official live video! 🍺🥴

You haven't seen the drummer shine yet, doing a solo. The next natural choice is their live version of "Freedom". Akane, the drummer, is in her absolute happiest mood there. Her happy face during the solo rubs off on you and it ends with you smiling as big as she does. The effect on me is the same every time I watch that video.

They toured USA in October of 2022, May of 2023, and August of 2023. I saw them once on each of those "legs". Unforgettable experience. Their previous time in the USA was a quick 5-show/3-city stop in September of 2019.

That was nice. I'm glad you found Band-Maid. They are truly deserving of all the accolades. They're brilliant musicians and performers. The fact that they are demure and humble and so respectful and grateful to their fans is just icing on the cake. It will be fun to watch your journey. They are so worth it. Buckle up. It gets so much better. 🙂🤘 Thanks!

Onset was their first instrumental. It isn’t even on an album, it was just for live shows.

The Maids use instrumentals to rest their lead singer Saiki. MISA the bass player tucks her pick to slap and doesn't wear shoes.

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, XpXp!

I know you will receive many, many recommendations but, if I may, how about checking out the more heartfelt side of these gals? BAND-MAID has written/performed more than one song devoted to their fans. ABOUT US (online live video) was written during the pandemic. MEMORABLE (music video) was written during their 2022 US tour as a tribute to those who attended their tour. Finally, ENDLESS STORY (live performance 2023), their closing song for the Yokohama 10th anniversary concert was a thank you to the fans' support throughout the years. Thank you so much for reacting to BAND-MAID.

*Band Maid* doing *BAND MAID* things. Great to see you guys enjoying them! 🤘😀🤘

This is one of the few Band-Maid songs that does give me band comparison vibes, and that band is Rush!

DAYDREAMING IS A MUST AT THIS POINT OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO ONLY PLEASE!!!

About this song: It strikes me for the first time how elegant Akane's drumming looks, while she hammers away, like they owe her money. Also, Miku didn't have much guitar skills yet, she never played until they started this band! But Kanami took her under her wings, and it feels so amazing that when she does her solo and her second run starts. The rest of the band takes the tune and let it soar to such a great height. It's almost like they lift her up and carry her around on their shoulders, love it! As well as your reactions, of course!

They do one or two instrumentals per show in order to give Saiki's voice a break.

Thanks for reaction to Onset which is one of my top 3 favorite songs! Band-Maid will be on a concert tour in June and July with a hall tour and a concert with The Warning. Please come visit us in Japan. It would be great to see you guys.🤗 And please react to their latest official music video "Bestie". You will see a different side of them.👍

I would absolutely reccomend Morratorium. An amazing. And if you find an official live version. That is the best way to go😁👍 But songs like Dice, Manners, Blackhole, Rinne or Freedom is also fantastic showcases of this band. In most cases i would go for the live versions. They are always amazing live. Great reaction by the way 😀👍

They are a Tsunami of talent. These girls paid their dues for the right to play. Akane, Misa, and Kanami practiced and studied music since they were young kids. Miku amazingly went from zero to 100 mastering the rhythm guitar in a few short years. Saiki is sheer talent with her voice, with onstage style to match.

They have four instrumental songs, the two you have already heard and the other two are Don’t Be Long and Without Holding Back. As others said they play them to give Saiki a break as well as songs where MIKU, the rhythm guitarist does the lead vocals.

EVH smiles every time this song is played!

Cody and Sophia, funny you should mention the word play. Band-Maid has a song on their KZfaq channel titled "Play". The song starts out like an instrumental with lyrics kicking in later. The song was going to be an instrumental, but Saiki, their lead vocalist, liked the music so much she talked them into writing lyrics for it. So, Miku, the chief lyricist, did. I suggest you go way back into Band-Maid's discography and react to "Thrill". It was the group's first song released on a video. It saved the band from being disbanded by their management company. They have recorded over 130 songs in their decade long careers. Most Maidiacs have their favorite songs. The first song I saw on KZfaq was "Domination". It showed how talented and tight the band was, but the thing that stood out to me was how charismatic and in-command of the audience, Saiki, the lead vocalist was. What a first impression! Many of their early songs like "Real Existence", "Non-Fiction Days", "Dice", "Blooming", and "Choose Me" are among the favorites of most Band-Maid fans. Three songs I love are "Manners/Black Hole", the official live video, and "Moratorium". "Manners/Black Hole" is a back-to-back two-fer video that really displays the band's musical diversity. It's well worth reacting to the two songs together. "Moratorium" is among the favorites of all Maidiacs. It's just a pure hard rock Band-Maid song.

Bam! ❤ What an epic choice for a follow up! Thanks for sharing the Maids with everyone. This is so exciting because all of us Maidiacs know what awesome musical gifts 🎁 still lay ahead for you! Band Maid is special. They have released four official instrumental tracks; however, their musicianship and songwriting is so brilliant that they have released instrumental versions of many of their songs. Who else writes such interesting and complex music that could be enjoyed without a vocalist? I’ll search around for a way to bribe you into doing my recommendation for song #4: “Puzzle,” official live. Another bombastic start for you, and an example of Band Maid’s more “cinematic” and complex style. Or, if you’re curious about what they can do at a slightly slower tempo? “Daydreaming,” official music video. Beautiful melodies, an alt rock ballad

Now check out some acoustic stuff. Try the acoustic video for "Catharsis" then listen to the album version to hear how they adapted it.

I enjoyed all your reactions. You have a long journey ahead as Band Maid has over 100+ songs. I hope you guys take a look at the MV Blooming. It has rapping, great vocals, harmonies and awesome music to keep the boomers happy. Thanks again, luv ya guys.

Listen again and you will find something different. Listen a third time and you will find something different. They are musician's musicians. When MISA (Bass) does her solo she "flips her pick" under her finger to slap then brings it back out effortlessly. There is no "Star" in this band, no egos. They did another instrumental song for the Genshin Impact concert that you will recognize. Everyone in the civilized world probably would Don't forget to check out The Warning soon.

Band Maid doing Band Maid things....

Aren’t Band Maid fans amazing? I have never been part of a community that is so warm and so positive. Everybody says it. Keep going down the pigeon hole. 130 original songs.

❤ So you started with two instrumentals and "Hate?" Now you need some nice melodies 🙂 Then try "Freedom" (LIVE)? That's a rocking and very catchy song with the best LIVE performance I have every seen ... plus AKANE. So much joy on stage ...! And if you want to hear more extremely different songs then try these: - Thrill (MV, their first video from 2014) - Bestie (MV, their latest song, from May 2024) - Corallium (LIVE) - Influencer (MV) - About Us (LIVE) - Manners, Blackhole (LIEV) - Daydreaming - Sayonakidori (Acoustic) ......... These are some songs that just came into my mind. They are really very different from each other.

Not heavy song, but fun song between band mates called freedom Live 🥁🎸🎵

And it's awesome to see the 3.2K views in just 4 hours. You two are doing a great job reacting to my favorite band in my six plus decades.

Thanks so much lovely reaction! I hope you`ll be able to go to the live show someday!

I've been around the musical block so many times in my life that I'm dizzy, and I thought I'd seen it all but these ladies just fill my heart with joy because they never cease to surprise and amaze us 'maidiacs" :) and if you want to know what I mean just check out their latest offering "Bestie". Another tribute to the fans who've never stopped believing in their undisputed talent and a video that was something of a "what ???..." moment from the first few seconds but, as always .. left us smiling.

Gary Maid! 🤘🏻🔥🍺🥴

I wish I was Onset for every BAND-MAID set...PO!!!!!🕊🍌🍻☕⚾

I’m glad you guys are checking out more Band Maid! If you want another new band to react to I highly recommend Rolling Quartz! They’re an all female K-Rock (Korean Rock) band and they’re pretty new (started 2020). Their Song Fearless is what got me into them. I’ve heard other reacters call them Korean version of early Band Maid haha 😂

Thanks for the reaction and comments.They're arguably the best live rock band on the planet. Enough said. Check out Manners(MV) for a change of pace and style. If you're wondering if there is anything these ladies can't do...the answer is a Yes. They can't be mediocre. Cheers!

Great reaction and some of the instrumentals that Kanami (lead guitar/composer) writes are also to help Miku (second guitar/Red Rose) learn new techniques to help improve her playing skills. In my opinion, female rock musicians have a different take on how to compose songs, it's that difference that make Band-Maid (and a lot of the other all female bands in Japan) unique. With Band-Maid it's a joint experience, there is no ego so no taking away from the others.

I suggest these BM songs: Thrill, Dice, Manners, Bubble, No God (live) & Puzzle (live) I'd also suggest The Warning - another all female rock band from Mexico I suggest these TW songs: Money, Sick, Automatic Sun, Enter Sandman (official video with Alessia Cara), Evolve (live VMAs) & Dust To Dust (live Teatro) I'm going to Japan (from oHIo) to see both of them play together in Tokyo (& visit for 9 days) next week! *can't wait*

MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃

If you want something even more different try Gion-Cho (Band-Maiko)

for quite a bit of time, "onslaught" was the gateway to discovering the ladies' level of musicianship. they've had other instrumentals aside from their other bonus materials (i.e. vocals intentionally stripped), but this was hands down top shelf. until "from now on" came, which of course is a very fair introductory song. we're happy you enjoy this miracle band. go further and you'll find another entertaining aspect of this collective genius, off stage and sisterhood-wise.

When you see them live you will experience their individual personalities that makes the music even better. Charismatic and very appreciative of their fans. Look at the most recent live version of Endless Story. It’s like the band and audience are one! THEN check out Band-Maiko!!!!! 😮

This was the first of many incredible instrumental by the Maids. Next? Their newest song! - “Bestie” - OMV The vocals are all English. The music was co-written with guitarist Mike Einzinger of INCUBUS. I think you’ll like it. Take care and rock on! 🤘🏼🔥🌏🎸🥁🎤🎹🎼😎✌🏼

I have never seen a band that showcases ever member in pretty much every song. To quote another reactor " Everyone is featured and no ones the star"

Rock needed a woman’s touch! I admit, just look at their videos… so creative that it’s obvious a woman’s touch was involved. I thought the best of rock was in the past. I saw Van Halen and Rush and had all the Led Zeppelin albums. NO ONE beats these wonderful ladies of rock. The best of rock are these maids from Japan the best of yesterday, today and the foreseeable future. (Oh, not to rub it in…..but I was blessed to see them live….best rock show I’ve been to). Hope you get the chance….great reaction…I LOVE BANDS MAID ❤❤

You can not pigeon hole Band Maid ( pun intended). There isn't a box large enough to hold them so you shouldn't try.

Another instrumental song is "Without Holding Back"!

Not sure the real reason why they started with instrumentals. But heard there were 2 reasons. 1. for Miku to get more challenges. 2. For Saiki to get some breaks. You see; in 2016-17 she got some problems with her vocal chords (polypps??), so the need of breaks became urgent. "Onset" is one of them. They also had one named "Play", but Saiki was loving it so much and loved humming to it. So she asked Miku, who at the time had written lyrics to a few of their songs, to do some to this song too. Other instrumentals? Most famous are: Onset, From now on, Don't be long. My favourite is "Without holding back", which was never released on any album. It's a bit upbeat, nice double bass work, and some sweet use of the "egyptian scale" by Kanami. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r82Uja9zt9-VpXk.htmlsi=tkhLhDtHezAYFOR8

June 12 Band Maid is playing a show with THE WARNING. 3 Sister's from Mexico..Try DUST TO DUST LIVE AT TEATRO METROPOLITAN CDMX 2022 or EVOLVE LIVE AT THE MTV VMA'S 2023🤯💥🤘🎶✌️

"Shambles" is one of their songs used in an anime.

The best band in the world. They mix and match different genres, a lot of times in the same song. Puzzle is a great one and if you like to mix instrumentals and vocals in one, Play live should be your next one!

Great comments, I have two suggestions...next song PLAY live. The other would make a longer reaction by playing Puzzle MV followed by live version then the acoustic live version. By doing all 3 you'll see how versatile they are even with the same song.

If you want to keep going down the pigeon hole I think "Domination, Freedom, Don't You Tell Me, No God and Puzzle" are good live videos. If you want to check out music videos "Unleash, Warning, Dice, Choose Me and Shambles are good ones. But when you think you've got a great feel for the band and what they're all about please make sure the last thing you watch is the live version of "Endless Story" it puts a nice bow on everything.

Band maid ❤❤❤❤

You SHOULD go to Japan! Coolest trip I ever took - and that was without seeing a Band-Maid show!

Hey guys... do we think these two are ready for Band-Maiko yet? Or should they watch a few more Band-Maid videos first?

This was the third song I heard from Bandmaid and this one solidified them as my favorite new band and one of my favorites of all time. Bandmaid just does not disappoint. I am thoroughly enjoying your journey down this rabbithole.

The first time I heard "Onset" was when I realized that Band-Maid wasn't just a great Rock Band, but a legendary one. These ladies get it done. They fire on all five cylinders: bass, drums guitars, and vocals with such deep skill. They surprise you every time. They make it look easy. I saw one reactor notice that Kanami's guitar solo didn't look all that difficult, but a moment later said, "Oh! Wait. She's far better than I thought!"

For more Kanami tapping you should check out my favourite track 'Blooming' the official music video. Enjoy !

a few favorites pf mine i'd love to see you react to are flying high,shake that, and blooming. YOU GUYS ARE DOING AN AWSOME JOB I recentley purchased a autograph poster that was signed by all members.A bit pricy but it's my favorite music memorabilia.Shout out to Roger Chance for bringing Band Maid to everyone. THANKS PETER FOX

This was my introduction to the band, and have been a Maidiac ever since. I'll help you with the names, so that you don't get torched in the comments... Saiki (SYE-kee) - Lead Vocals, Lyrics Miku (MEE-ku) a.k.a. Cluppo (KLU-poh) "Pigeon" - Backing Vocals, Rhythm Guitar, Main Lyricist (Also has music out under Cluppo) Kanami (kuh-NAHM-ee) a.k.a. Mincho (MEEN-choh) - Lead Guitar, Composer, Keyboards, Piano, Acoustic Guitar, Backing Vocals MISA (MEE-zuh) a.k.a. The Barefoot Assassin - Goddess of the Bass Akane (uh-KAHN-ay) a.k.a. Gorilla "Half-Gorilla/Half-Human=100% Akane!" - Drums

Saiki the lead singer has had throat surgery in the past so the band are very careful with her voice. They play 2+ hour sets so to give Saiki a break around mid-set they do three things. 1. Play an instrumental, 2. Miku (rhythm guitar) takes lead vocals for a song or two (she usually has one track per album where she is lead vocalist) and 3. Miku will do her legendary and hilarious "Magic Time" MC set. Then Saiki comes back on to finish the set. Even though Saiki no longer needs a break nowadays, it's become more of a tradition. So yeah, they have a number of really cool instrumental tracks. Check out the MV of "From Now On" for another instrumental banger!

Band-Maid has around 5 to 6 instrumentals, they usually play one, rarely 2, of them during each show to give the lead singer a break. Most of the times rhythm guitarist Miku also sings a song herself before or after that. "Onset" was the song that sealed the deal with Band-Maid for me, after that, nothing was like before again 🙂 If you want to hear more instrumental brilliance, please listen to the band ASTERISM, songs "Rising moon", "Dawn" or "Gunfire" and be blown away again. With two of the worlds best and youngest guitarist and bassist you'll ever witness. I swear, I'm not lying ✌🏻

If you get a chance to see them live do it you will not regret it i have driven hours to see them live if i could have afforded to have went to every show i would have there that amazing

Another great song to check out if you like to see each person get their moment is “Domination” from the World Domination Tour at Shibuya. You guys are great! 😊

No need to go to Japan. They tour the US almost every year. Saw them live twice last year. They play the big festivals too like Lalapaloosa .

They have these instrumentals as well as a usually 1 song per album where Miku is the lead singer and Miku also has her magic time which an audience participation skit she does all of this is for giving Saiki a break mid concert, their shows are long 22 songs on average. Besides the songs that were written as instrumentals they have a few of their other songs with instrumental versions. There is one song Play, which was an instrumental but they added lyrics and has an excellent musical intro. One of these songs Without Holding Back, the two Guitarists, Kanami and Miku went on Herman Li's youtube and played that song with him adding in his dragonforce guitar and he was dressed as a maid "auditioning" for band maid. Might be worth watching that video as well for being hilarious and if you are a dragonforce fan. Their songs are all different, complex as well because in songs the 1st, 2nd and 3rd version musically are always different and considering they have well over 100 songs all good all different, it is amazing Kanami how good a composer Kanami really is, since she writes all of that music.

These women don't play but they do play PLAY which is a really good one to play next.

Originally Saiki's pee break song when they played live :) . You should probably listen to "PLAY - LIVE" which started as an instrumental, the per Saiki's request MIKU added lyrics.

Try Thrill the song and MV that launched them as the management were about to drop them, Freedom great drum solo from Akane, Hate brilliant vocals and guitar solos and a short battle with Misa and Kanami, every track is brilliant, individual and they are great live. Band-Maid members are: SAIKI Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 30 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away her sometimes perceived, coldish persona. Saiki’s powerhouse performances, charisma, and voice focus the experience that’s driven her to the top echelon of hard rock front women... or front men! MIKU Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 32 years old. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR Spokes Pigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. KANAMI Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 32 years old, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want is more! AKANE Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, 33 years old, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) while revolutionizing rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumZilla” is the Party! MISA (Me-Sa) "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass, 31 years old. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin literally kills it… every note uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA! MISA!

Band-Maid is at the same musicianship level as Rush and Dream Theater!!!!!

DOMINATION live or HATE? live will give you a good introduction to the lead singer, Saiki's, powerful vocals. All the videos on their YT channel from the past 3 or 4 years have English subtitles so you can see the depth and brilliance of Miku's (rhythm guitarist, backing vocalist, main lyricist, founder of the band and quite frankly ridiculously beautiful woman) lyrics as well as understand what Saiki is singing about. But she has such a melodic voice that it is an instrument on its own and so not using the subs means you'll be able to watch all the complex instrumentation. OOPS! Just realised you've seen HATE? , which I missed somehow...should have subscribed and hit that bell...now sorted out!

You have yet to see their acoustic side which is also just as awesome! as their hard rockin side.

Next, you may want to consider a slower song by them that features their lead singer. Just to show you their versatility. (even though you already get that - every song is different.) That would be the Daydreaming MV. Or, Endless Story Official Live with the subtitles on for sure, and keeping in mind it's the last song of their recent 3 plus hour 10th anniversary concert.

Guys, check out Polyphia, if you haven’t yet. They’re based out of Texas but all of them are endorsed by Japanese companies. Ibanez for guitars & bass and Tama for drums. They’re primarily an Instrumental band and amazing. Try Ego Death, Playing God or G.O.A.T.

It's a rock masterpiece！👍

You should do Daydreaming for something completely different.

"I don't know what this one is about to be" Epic. Its going to be epic.😊 I'd like to recommend a few of my favorites (at the moment)that don't get many requests, Sayinakidori (acoustic) Daydreaming About Us

Nice reaction greeting from germany

And yes, they also have a song called Different, if you want something different,

That's right. We just cannot compare this group with the others because their sound is so unique. They're definitely creating something new. My recommendation would be "Manners/Blackhole" combo, official live mv🔥

The founder and rhythm guitarist Miku also takes lead vocals on some great songs. Those and the instrumentals give Saiki a break during live shows. "Sayonakidori" acoustic is one.

They're just the tip of the all female J-rock iceberg! Love Bites - Holy War Nemophila - Revive Hanabie - We Love Sweets Babymetal - Road of Resistance Trust!🤘✌️🫶👍

I might be wrong, but I think they do the instrumentals as their shows are so long - last one was 33 songs and 3.5 hrs long) and they wanna keep the crowd interested while Saiki has a breather. "Play" official live was going to be an instrumental but Saiki liked it so much, she asked Miku to write lyrics for it so she could join in ... Now there's another one to check out as they all have their moment to shine including Saiki.

日本人です 日本の音楽そしてBANDに興味を持ってくれてありがとうございます！ BAND-MAIDは私も大好きなバンドです チャンネル登録させて頂きますね これからも動画楽しみにしています

Introducing a girls rock band. NEMOPHILA / REVIVE [Official Live Video] There's no harm in watching it.

They do have a song called Play,

🤘🤘

Band-Maids lead singer Saiki had problems with throat polyps, so they started doing instrumentals to give her a little break in a 2-hour concert. She can kind of cool down her voice a little bit. they also do the MC or (Omajinai time) portion of the concert for the same reason, so many people love it some not so much.

Don't forget their other instrumental 'Without Holding Back'.
