There was once a Maid band from Japan Who said "we're gonna be the best in the land" Then words of them spread Suddenly all headlines said "Everyone hearing them turns into a fan!"

I just saw a fan cam of "Turn Me On" ( Vladimir Chupin has great vids) where the camera is focused on Miku. You can see her playing clearly and her hand and fingers are allover the finger board. So cool to see. I love to watch Miku play, she is such a a rocker!

Band-Maid was the only band that totally made me change my musical tastes. I've only ever listened to heavy metal, death metal and genres like that, I've always hated backing vocals, I've never liked female vocals in songs and pop choruses. Now I listen to them every day for at least 6 hours a day, Akane is my favorite drummer ever, Kanami probably my favorite songwriter and Saiki my favorite singer .. this band is magical.

I realized something now, because of something you said: Normally you don´t hear singers like SAIKI, because of her style. We all know how versatile this band is, i think they are the most versatile band today! BUT it´s all because they all have another "core": SAIKI and MIKU are the "pop" part, KANAMI is the pure "rock" part, MISA is the "funk" part and AKANE is the "jazz" part. Everybody has a little bit of their own thing going on, but they all can stretch out into the other CORE without even trying, it´s easy for them to adapt even if they all have an "prefered" style and that´s makes them SO VERSATILE! Add their friendship and LOVE towards each other and you know why their chemistry is untouchable! Greetings from Germany and thanks for that new thought about my favorite band :)

My favorite Band-Maid song. All the little things they do that they don't have to do, that you really don't notice until you've listened a few times, makes this song so much richer. Band-Maid doing Band-Maid things.

Great reaction as always Ryan. Miku certainly deserves a lot more respect than she gets. How many people have to learn guitar from scratch AFTER they become part of a rock band? The amount of work she put in to be able to hold her own on stage with MISA, Akane, and Kanami had to be staggering. Also, like you said, she also has to sing backup on every single song. Now add all of the time she spends promoting the band and writing the bulk of the lyrics. She certainly has my respect.

Thanks! This song always stays in my Top 5 Band-Maid songs no matter how the order changes.

Yolo is probably my all time favorite single. Amazing A-side and unbelievable B-side.

I have literally just finished watching the line cube Shibuya show so I'm on a Band Maid high at the moment. And this just added to it. Cheers Ryan.

Your comments on North American music is exactly why I listen to Japanese rock and especially Band-Maid. Awesome!

Ryan...That second verse man!! I've got a routine with YOLO: I listen to all their stuff in the car...when I get to the YOLO single, I skip to the Instrumental to immerse in the glory of the composition, then back with Saiki restored (sublime), then Unfair...GUM, and then instrumental and full track one more time before I can move on. Obviously when I'm driving alone :-)

A song I always connotate with yolo in my head is "Glory" for it's really unique, almost progish feeling it gives. Well worth checking that one out.

You know, Miku really put together an unknown Super Group. Saiki has one of the best female voices I've heard. When she starts singing, you stop and listen. Kanami is an amazing guitarist and songwriter. MISA is one of the most active bass players I've ever heard. Akane is an incredible drummer. In any other band they would be the best musicians in the group. This is the definition of a Super Group!

Thats why I love them.....real musicians & musicality second to none !!❤😎

Hey Ryan! I trust you also listened to the instrumental version of this song that was released in the same mini-album. Cause it's amazing! 😎 Thanks for another great reaction! Rock on Po! 🤘🖤🕊️

Some people have called it controlled chaos, but I think cohesive freedom is more appropriate. And all 5 of them exercise this freedom regularly!💪🏻🤘🏻

One word: FINALLY!!! This song is a masterpiece one of the reasons why Just Bring It is my favourite album! The 2nd verse is so good and still their best to date imo, Kanami is on 🔥 with at least 6 different riffs and that solo 🤯! You should try the 4th track of the single it is the instrumental version of this song and the Live version at Shinkiba 2017 they absolutely nailed it!! Don't pay attention to people talking sh*t about Miku's playing ability we all now what she is capable now (who said Black Hole?...) and knowing where she comes from it's even more impressive. Great reaction as always 👍

Most eat to live but there are those who live to eat...The BAND-MAID fan, a true musical connoisseur.

Yolo is an awesome tune! If you listen more than once it’ll quickly become too 3 !

Yolo is a masterpiece of rock music. You may say that I am crazy, but after seeing the 500 songs of Rolling Stone magazine I am missing a dozen of Band Maid. In this song there was already everything that would come later. A declaration of intentions. Oh, and Miku plays a lot here. To fully savor the six or seven guitar riffs of this song, I recommend the Studio Coast 2017 live show. Super sharp, with Mincho nailing it. Exciting.

Always great to watch reactions from people who "get it" 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂

Said it before, guess I'll say it again. Any band who can accomplish what Band Maid has in Their short time together will always have me as a fan. These early tracks of Their own songs show a remarkable musical knowledge as well as them gelling their individual styles and giving us something new but at the same time something so familiar.

There was a lyrics video for YOLO a while back(it's gone now) it really made me fall in love with this song. Glad that you enjoyed it.

You're so right about the over processed production on modern music, and it's not just over there in the US. It's the same this side of the Atlantic with too many song writers involved in writing what usually turns out to be wall paper or elevator music as you would call it.

Completely undeservedly, I overlook this song and then I am always surprised at how wonderful a YOLO song is. You are a composer and this is the ideal song to understand how Kanami composes. She first plays the melody for which she gets inspiration on the piano or plays it on the guitar and places it in her archive. You can hear what this basic melody looks like in the case of YOLO at this link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gsWHfcV8ydqzfnk.html. A beautiful slow ballad that is a masterpiece in this version as well. When Kanami chooses one of the archived melodies to make a song out of it, she simply speeds it up and adds solo riffs and an arrangement of other instruments. Her genius and inspiration is inexhaustible and there are always several hundred melodies in her archive and that is why she can easily release songs that 99% of bands do not have in their entire discography. I think she said she would love to work with other artists as well, when the time comes and the breathtaking songs we listen to, are just one part of her immense talent. When songs that are not suitable for Band-Maid come to light, you will see all the splendor and magnificence of this modest and lovely artist. Keep up the good work, all the best!

After I hear this one song, I feel like I've heard three. And it feels like a journey. For me, this song is one of the best intros to Band-Maid. It's probably the earliest Kanami composition that became a Band-Maid song, as she wrote it prior to the band's formation. The song really shows off the band's talent early in its development imo.

this song is a bit overlooked now as far as reactions go but damn - it has everything and one of my favorite kanami solos

These ladies know how to play music, they bend the rules, they are not prisoners of a style. The rock is not dead, it just moved to Japan. In the west the music is computerized, auto-tuned and they even analyzed wich words should be in the song.

YOLO is a diamond of a song, with so many sweet facets that you can look at from all sides, flawless. The bootlegged acoustic version of YOLO (and Awkward!) is absolutely heart-wrenching (and btw very googleable).

This song was a couple of years ahead of its time. You hear a lot of the stuff which eventually exploded forth on Unseen World. Amazing song.

Great reaction and this was the A-side :). The location was in better shape but they were practicing Unfair Game and Matchless Gum before the shoot and things started melting.

Finally! Thank you for reacting it xD

Yeap, YOLO is one of my very favorites, their live version at Akasaka Blitz closing the gig is fantastic... also the live version from Shinkiba Studio Coast is great.👍

I really enjoyed this reaction Ryan! The quality of this video is sooo good and it didn’t take away from the original song at all, like really good cuts and stuff. Personally I like your comments wherever you put them because hearing your insightful things is always a treat! In fact sometimes I wish I could hear more of your breakdowns… 😊 (I really enjoyed the onset breakdown)

I would love for them to put together a video of them in the studio throughout the recording process...like the Beatles in Let it Be. I think that would be interesting to see them interact with each other in the songwriting process.

Thanks! That was great! Maybe you could check out a recent live version to hear how Saiki's vocals are on this song post-surgery?

Love this song. Thank you for reacting to this video.

That's a very interesting observation about Saiki's singing! And suddenly, it reminds me of Annie Lennox 's (of Eurythmics fame) singing tone! I was a big fan of her back then.

one of my favorites jeezus everything. perfect song spine tingles just fromt he guitar tones insanely good i wanna talk about this song for ages but did it too much ^^ so good under rateda nd under played live

Thanks buddy, knew you would love this one!

The lyrics are another one of Miku’s “take on the world” songs. In a battle between Miku and the world, my money is on Miku. lyrics: We put the blame in everything Through unattainable words. The things we can’t win against, It feels that they’re normal in our daily lives. I protect myself from the mass confusion of people. Being together with anyone, I pretended not to see anything, not to hear anything. Each time I lie, my chest tightens up. I open my eyes to seek, the source of the throbbing. I draw up a permanent magic spell, So that I can’t be hindered by anyone. My feelings are getting stronger As the dawn breaks in these wishful days. Ta-ta for now - I’m off to what’s beyond The shining morning glow. It starts from hereon! The word we call “Fate”, We give it out in desperation. It feels like I’m now back to zero, patching out the contemporary tomorrows. My head keeps spinning, somehow I can’t sleep Leaving things unsolved, As I head into the morning, What will change? Dreams and hopes, after having set-backs, They keep piling up on one another. The story of increasing the value of my existence. I’m proud of my rebellious self. I draw up a permanent magic spell, So that I can’t be hindered by anyone. My feelings are getting stronger As the dawn breaks in these wishful days. Ta-ta for now - I’m off to what’s beyond The shining morning glow. It starts from hereon! I draw up a permanent magic spell, I have conceived an unbreakable will. My eyes will never bewilder. I said to the expanding world before me; “Nice to meet you” My heart is pounding in excitement. It only happens once - that’s right, I’ll seize the day. The party is starting - time to prepare. I have no interest in something artistic. I don’t seek anything like eternity. All these boring give and takes, It’s all stupid - so just throw them away. Isn’t it better to collide head on? Fight on, right now. I draw up a permanent magic spell, So that I can’t be hindered by anyone. My feelings are getting stronger As the dawn breaks in these wishful days. Ta-ta for now - I’m off to what’s beyond The shining morning glow. It starts from here on!

Thank you Ryan for having Miku's back! It took me years to be able to play guitar and do harmony vocals with confidence, on top of that I also played the leads, coming off a lead back into the riff and doing the vocal sometimes was just a plane crash, alot of practice went into trying to solve that, Miku is one of five toppings on the world's best pizza, you don't get the world's best pizza without all of the toppings, once again thank you for calling out all the key board musician's who can't seem to acknowledge just how huge Miku's presence in Band Maid is.

I think the thing here is that Saiki is singing long notes legato style while the band is going fast and hard but clean. It's weird when you can focus on listening to vocals or band but it's so hard to focus on both at the same time.

Band-Maid new single "Sense" will be release on October 27, 2021.

Thanks Ryan! Love this tune (because, of course I do). Kanami is a Goddess/Genius/Extra-Terrestrial Goddess (Did I type "Goddess already?) Misa's bass sounds like it's been deep-fried (extra crunchy). Plus, she plays co-lead in like, half the song. Saiki lays down some loooong, sweeeet notes and Akane, in this one, just fits and grooves perfectly (because of course she does.) And then there's Miku.... The lyrics are beautiful and inspiring (again) and her voice is angelic as always. I don't know sh** about playing guitar, but anyone who has a problem with "The Visionary" probably needs an exorcism....or a hug. 😄

MISA MISA MISA! this song has the rare privilege of being twice in my top 15 in 2 different formats this one and the Instrumental version alll MISA MIA MISA!

YOLO. My 2 cents: THE. MOST. PERFECT. BASS. TONE. EVER. Again. :) Akane's drumming during Kanami's solo cannot be overstated. The sound of both Kanami and Miku's guitars on this song is fucking GLORIOUS. There is just an instrumental version of this song available as I'm sure you've been told by now. :) And the Miku hating incels can go..... somewhere else...

The live version of this from the february 14th dvd is absolutely mental.... And yeah, miku didn;t know how to play and basically was just smiling behind a guitar in the first couple years... But now? Man, Band Maid wouldn't be the ame AT ALL without her. She's good man. Very good. The crap she pulled off- while singing I mind you- in Black Hole Is some crasy stuff on guitar.

I heard Yolo started off as a instrumental. That version is highly worth a listen

I always think of Saiki being a pop star singer that is brave and confident enough to believe that her singing will not be over shadowed by being accompanied by great music! I think she understands the concept of "band" and believes that the sum of the parts makes a greater whole.

The way I understand it Kanami writes both lead and rhythm and records them. Then Mikule learns the part before they play it live. Still pretty impressive for some who has only been playing a few years.

Everytime I watch you do a band maid mv you look like a kid on Christmas morning to quote you sssoooo good and they are the living legends known as band maid be well

Preach Ryan! Couldn't agree more on Miku. Rhythm guitar for 20yrs, could never sing backup vocals (tried many times) and be that comfortable playing on stage. If you haven't done it, you just don't know.

Mad props to you on your recognition of Miku and her abilities. That young lady has definitely earned her stripes and continues to unlock her potential with every song. She has come a long way, and I'm excited to watch the journey she, and the other ladies are on. Rock on, good sir. Rock on.🎸🎤🎸🥁🎸

This article shows the relationship between kanami and miku. This is interview with Miku Kobato and Kanami on Headbang vol. 28, a metal magazine, published on December 21, 2020, before the cancellation of Budokan. This interview shows Miku and Kanami’s mutual respect as songwriters. - How do you see each other’s guitar play? Kobato: My teacher is Kanami-chan. I started playing the guitar after forming Band-Maid, and I’ve come this far taking after her, po. - From a teacher’s point of view, is Kobato-san an excellent student? Kobato: Po (looking at Kanami). Kanami: She’s… very… dependable… Kobato: Ha ha ha (laughs). Kanami: Kobato is faster at palm muting than me. Kobato: Because I started it with strumming, po! (Showing her biceps) I’ve gained quality muscle, po. - (laughs) Kanami: Powerful strumming is her advantage. Chords too, now. Kobato: Yeah, I think I’ve learned a lot of chords, po. Kanami: Now that I can let her play complicated things like tension chords, we can’t do servings without her guitar anymore. Kobato: Tee hee hee (blushing). - So she has become very dependable compared to the beginning. Kanami: She didn’t like the guitar at first! Kobato: Ha ha ha (laughs). At first I wasn’t supposed to play the guitar, so when I had to start to play it, I was like “Oh, I don’t want to play it much, po” (laughs). …That’s not the case now, po! Kanami: It’s fun because I’ve been watching her growth for 6 years since then. And her growth makes me feel I need to grow more too. - So she also inspires you. In that sense, do you think Kobato-san’s technical improvement has increased what your band can do? Kanami: Yes. But I don’t write phrases by taking Kobato into account. Whether she can play them or not, I give them to her, like “You must work hard on this!” - So songs are your first priority. Kobato: She gives me like “This will be hard!” (laughs) And I’m like “Yes, sensei, I’ll do my best, po”. I clear the hurdle every time, po. - Does she ask to do something impossible? Kobato: Like “I can’t sing while playing this, po…” (laughs). In that case we talk about it together, po. - You have such a relationship because you trust each other. Kobato: You can’t do it if you’re not good friends, po. Kanami: Yeah. - The B-side Don’t be long is an instrumental. How do you make a distinction between vocal songs and instrumental songs in terms of composition and performance? Kanami: I’m conscious of fine nuances in instrumentals, like “This is my nuance”. Kobato: Since there’s no vocals, I try to make the guitar sing, po. Kanami: We always play an instrumental at servings, and our masters and princesses love that, right? Kobato: Yes, they love that. There are so many masters and princesses looking forward to seeing each instrument and each of us get the spotlight. Instrumentals are indispensable for us Band-Maid, po. Kanami: We are always like “How about writing an instrumental for this serving?”

Kanami's 30th birthday was on the 28th. And,on one of the private Band-Maid groups on Facebook,(there are several that I follow) Helge Fjeld said "And Mincho as she is called by friends will continue to make fantastic music along with her band members we hope for a long time 🙏" while wishing her a Happy Birthday. Her actual name is Kanami Tono,and she was born in Kanagawa,Japan in 1991. Just thought you'd like to know.

They're monsters.

The reason some of the current "artists" need 40 songwriters credits is to dilute the royalty they will need to pay the artist they stole the melody from.

MISA MISA MISA! have been re-watching your Band-Maid Vids (cos they are Great). in this one you were talking about Miku singing and Playing, just after that at 11:38 EVERYTHING Band-Maid to me was summed up in a split second, It is only a Music Video but watch Mikus face She looks down at the fret board to make sure she is miming the right cord this to Me encapsulates the pure effort that goes behind the talent.

Great song! Listen to it often but forget it has a video sometimes lol. Great reaction man, keep up the good work!

11:00 Miku's progress in guitar playing over the years is really remarkable when you see the beginnings of 2013 compared to today. I'm sure we'll hear a real guitar solo from Miku in a song soon. She's almost ready now and we all know that the little dove wants to grow up.

Miku's playing ability has increased quite a bit from when they started. I have been following them since their first 2-3 video's were released and the difference between then and now is impressive.

In this song , not only sound but lyrics is good . Please look this video with lyrics .

It almost feels like Misa and Kanami doing their own thing and they are, but still they work together to make something that shouldn't work, work somehow. That's how they come up with band-maid sound. Saiki's voice sounds more rock on stage, but I don't think this is live version. It sounds more like studio recording. Other bands who I definitely recommend are bad brains and maximum the hormone. These are more hardcore punk, but very interesting bands.

Happy Birthday 🎂 Kanami, lead guitarist of Band-Maid! We love 💘 your music 🎶 here in Silicon Valley! You are like Mozart 🎹!

MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃

Thanks for stepping in for Miku. She may not be a guitar virtuoso and not have a powerfull voice, but she is always right in time, right in tune.

I was surprised the first time I heard this song. I didnt expect much from a song titled YOLO but I was like well its BAND-MAID, should check it out. Damn good song. Not much else to say about it.

Still trying to wrap my head around this one (Black Hole took 3 listens). The thing about moving musical lines, is that if you have two parts where one is on a passing tone and one is on chord tone, it can sound....messy? uncoordinated? discordant?...I'm not sure, but just wrong. Kanami, MISA, and Miku apparently spend the time to make it all work, and it ends up in Bach-level counterpoint. Does anyone else think OSHA would not approve this set? It looks downright dangerous to move around.

Shout out to the video and art director!

Yeeees!! It's a good day!

Ya know, just talking about American pop music and why it's so bad. I love music. I have bands that I am passionate about. There are songs that make me feel elated or bring a tear to my eye. There are so many people I talk to that tell me they love music and I'll ask them what kind of music do they listen to or who's their favorite band and you'll get the answer "oh I like all kinds of music" or "I like everything I don't really have a favorite band." For them music is just this thing that is in the background or they put on in the car because they're bored. And that's who all this crappy cookie cutter pop music is made for. It's just mass produced using a formula and put out there to make money. They put the least amount of effort into it for the greatest return. A band like Band Maid put work into their music. Kanami writes their songs and then the entire band works on them together crafting it, honing it, reworking it until they are satisfied and then it's recorded. Their music is a result of the love and devotion they have for music and not just a way to get rich and famous. Well at this point I'm just rambling so yeah.

Nothing wrong with food references, and it's nice to start your day with a Band-Maid casserole. And since "YOLO", it is advisable to fill said life with as much Band-Maid as possible. Even if you believe in Rinne.

I know that stupid smile well. I wear it every time I listen to Band Maid.

As always..love your reactions...first time hearing this song..love it! Also really appreciated your defense of Miku and her guitar playing. She has progressed by leaps and bounds..no thanks to Kanami-sensei....brilliant!.... meaning Kanami has probably helped her progress...

"YOLO" is TOP 5 for me (although my Top 5 is like 20 Band-Maid songs squeezed in together and another 50 in a very close 6th place... then the 30 songs left make the rest of a Top 10. Yes, my Top 10 from Band-Maid is the whole 100 songs) ... Anyway, after the whole non-sense, "YOLO" is freaking awesome... Kanami still in her "Audictone" years... The Band-Maiko version ( "YOLOSIOSU") is also awesome .... OH yeah, please try to find the instrumental version of this too.... again, awesome!

*Kanami:* You know what this song needs? *Akane:* More drums? *MISA:* More bass? *Kanami:* No silly more Guitars. 😁 😁 😁

Ryan! Blimey, I forgot o comment on that! First a big thank for putting "some people" in their "right place"! We all know them, and I believe every fan will back you up for saying so. It is a very complicated song, especially when you consider it was an early one! This can be achieved as you mentioned only thanks to the musical education of at least three of them.Saiki is a natural singer and Miku is just a monster of practice that would kill any of her detractors in a singe day. Now, where are they going to take us, notwithstanding the live concerts they have announced for this year? They love small venues, but that might be impossible from now on, at least in the States. In Europe, fans prefer small to medium-sized venues. Ask Mark Knoppfler! Talking of which I have the impression that if someone could have them listen to Rory Gallagher, The Who, Dire Straits and Thin Lizzy, we might be in for some raucous live performances! Take good care of yourself (ves), Robert-Gilles

Love the song. The set creeps me out. Probably because I boil water for a living.

I think the duo solo part works because Akane leaves space open for them and Saiki to operate in(a nice slow beat to accompany them).

I echo your words. I liked Michael Jackson and those who followed him afterwards, but I am not down with pop music these days because they sound superfluous. Although for youngsters they are the music of their generation, I just want to keep listening to good music like these talented ladies produce.

I'm way too dumb to learn languages so for years I've just thought of saiki as a wonderful instrument in the band.

5:30 I maybe wrong, but I have the feeling Kanami has used a counterpoint arrangement of the bass, guitar and voice in that section. Like it was done in Bach’s era. The purpose of counterpoint is to have several melodic lines playing together without conflicting.

I was one of those rock/metal fans that was originally thrown off by BM's "poppy" vocal chorus's. I think it works so well for BM for a number of reasons though, including of course the talents of Saiki and Miku and also the melodic approach BM uses is just superior to a lot of popular songs. Their melodic style is crafted more along the lines of great vocal songs by say Carole King or Elton John vs modern pop stuff. I never got into power pop or pop punk, but in some ways it's valid to say that BAND-MAID is the ultimate expression of Power Pop ( with a ton of emphasis on "power").

You are so darn correct about Miku. I can just imagine how difficult and impressive it must have been for her to level up her skils until she is able to play the rythm guitar (she had just been learning for a few years) while at the same time harmonizing perfectly on stage with a powerful singer such as Saiki. Now, think also she had to do all this to insert herself in a power trio of monster musicians such as Akane, Misa and Kanami.

This is a song that Casey Casum would have announced on the Top 40 in the early 80's. One that you could go full Iron Eagle with, because, the rhythm is just that good.

TURN ME ON AND WONDERLAND REACTION PLEASE !!

Lyrics　YOLO「You Only Live Once」 Words that won't come true Everything Blame it on someone else In the days when you feel In the midst of days when I feel like I'm not good enough In order to protect myself I blend in with the people around me. Pretending that everyone else is in the same situation Pretending not to see I pretended not to hear Every time I tell a lie It makes my chest tighten Wake up, wake up To the end of my heartbeat I'll draw a magic that won't disappear Don't let anyone stand in your way Thinking and wishing strongly for each day The night is dawning In the morning glow, Ta-ta for now To the destination lit by the morning glow This is where we start! "Fate" is such a word I release in desperation As if it would turn to zero. A makeshift link to tomorrow. I can't sleep. And the morning comes. I wonder what will change. Knowing my dreams, my hopes, my setbacks. Because of the accumulation Is the story that makes you worthy Be proud of yourself for resisting Draw the magic that won't disappear Don't let anyone stand in your way Every day I think strongly and wish strongly The night is dawning Ta-ta for now To the destination illuminated by the morning light This is where we start! Casting an indelible spell With an unbreakable will in my heart With eyes that don't stray In the expanse of the world that I've come to see "I look forward to working with you." My chest heaves It's just one of those days Get ready to party. I don't care about art. I don't seek eternity. Boring socializing Throw it away as ridiculous. Let's get on with it, shall we? Let's fight now. Draw the magic that won't disappear. Let no one stand in your way. Every day, with strong thoughts and wishes The night is dawning Ta-ta for now To the destination illuminated by the morning light This is where we start!

another great reaction as always...but whats next damn you its like a cliff hanger :P

If you didn't know, the EP includes YOLO as a instrumental only

Stop all you want Ryan and never feel the need to apologize. If your reactions simply consisted of you saying "cool" or "wow!" I for one wouldn't be interested. Your insights are why it's interesting, I suspect most of your repeat viewers feel the same.

Apparently this was a Kanami song long before Band-Maid that she readapted the melody to become YOLO. Back in her singer-songwriter days? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gsWHfcV8ydqzfnk.html One of their earlier songs, not as complex but really nice chorus, one of my favorites.

GO!!!👍👍👍

i guess i know what you're trying to say, it's catchy and sounds like pop style of singing than typical rock, but i don't mind about it and i'm a big Queen fan, i'm used to it and a survivor of pop allergies. i think saiki can get away with it since she has a nice deep and clear voice like freddie did, unique voice compared to other bands/groups in that era. having said that, i too love no doubt, pink, alanis morissette, garbage, holes - some are catchy af. p/s you're one of my fav band-maid reactors and alice in chains is one of favs too. :-)

Re: Miku on guitar. I've seen the number 10,000 hours of practice time to reach elite level play of an instrument. This comes to 4 hours a day for a bit under 7 years. She has said that she tries to practice every day, and sometimes all day, so she may not quite be there, but she's getting close. Still waiting to see her pick vs. strum though. Maybe she has and I've missed it?

I kind of ignored this song for years because I hate the title. Such an over used phrase in the west. This is a top 15 catalog song from them and that is EXPENSIVE real estate. Love YOLO.

Ciao ryan....i advise you to see AWKWARD LIVE little known song....a real musical gem

And as for miku she gave up lead and said no problem I'll learn guitar!

Now do the live version. We'll watch it

you can tell this is early days because the only one with her signature guitar is Miku. No PRS or black cloud.
