55 years old and I have seen some of the best bands since the 80s and I can tell you that these ladies are the best live show I have ever seen. They play so many different genre that they give you everything you want. They are so entertaining and they interact with each other and the crowd all the time. If you ever see them huddle around the drummer, they are making faces at each other trying to make each other laugh or goof up. They are so emotionally invested you can feel the music. Best band in the world!

From first hand experience, I can confirm that Band Maid is one of the rare artists that actually outperform their studio takes. Band Maid understands the language barrier, which explains why this chorus is: “Yeah yeah yeah yeah, La la la la la la la, woah ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh, La la la la la la la.” The Maids adore their fans. And we love them right back.

For me..Kanami Tono, the lead guitarist is the most impressive musician of 21st Century. Pure genius as a composer and true Rock n’ Roll Star on stage. One of a Kind. She is the Special One 🔥🤘❤️

Band-Maid is truly a live band! Seen them four times and I would not hesitate to see them again, given the chance! Their MV's are excellent, also, but live is the better take in most cases!

This was the 21nd song of a 22 song performance or "Serving" as Band-Maid calls them! The next logical destination would be the next song which is "Domination"! "Play was originally a instrumental song, but the singer liked it so much she asked for lyrics to be added so she could be a part of the fun! Did you notice Saiki, the lead singer, trying to mess with the Akane's, the drummer, timing and ended up giggling instead, so fun!

Band-Maid are one of the best live bands around, they are all so talented and they love the fans as much as we love them po ❤🤘😄

They recently finished off their ten year tour at the Yokohama Arena. A three and a half hour concert that somehow managed to cover so much. They can command an arena like a small theatre. They used the walkways around the arena and brought everybody into the concert. The music and their personalities make them simply one of the most entertaining bands around.

Normally I wouldn’t cross a road to see a band in concert, but for Band-Maid I’m flying from Australia to Tokyo in May to see them live in concert.😁

If you want a longer solo try their mv for From Now On. The whole track is a guitar solo. And bass solo. And drum solo...

And to think they play at this level for 2+ hour sets! I saw them four times in October, they were wild! I wouldn't worry too much about the lyrics on this one. It was originally written as an instrumental but Saiki the lead singer liked it and wanted in, so Miku quickly wrote lyrics for it. They have no profound meaning, the whole song is just fun!

They play an average of 22 or 23 songs per concert. So they play an instrumental song and give the vocals a break in the middle. There have a few of those instrumentals, but since you guys seem to like guitar so much, so I recommend "Onset", which is popular among us Band-Maid fans (Maidiacs) from the official video. 🎸🤘

I like the last lyrics of this song. I feel like it gives me the courage to live in the present. Any flower, any person It's not forever, it will scatter someday Living as time passes so as not to be trapped! Until you fall, don't stop fighter

Celebrating four years as a Madiac and over fifty years of being a rock fan. After all of that time it is amazing that one of the best bands ever happens now. Band Maid is as good as the best and better than most. Can't wait to see what the next phase of this marvelous band brings to all of us. Thank you ladies.

BAND-MAID are an experience that just get better every time you hear them.

It seems like every year, Band-Maid changes up the intro to this song, and it's always Epic ! 😏♥️🎙🎸🥁😎🤘

Guitar solos aren't overly long in most songs with an exception of a few most notable are the bass and guitar battles. " Don't you tell me" Live from Zepp Toyko and Hate from Lollapalooza earlier last year.

Nothing whips a metal crowd into a frenzy faster than Japanese girls. 🤘 Love it!

Never heard of them but they're really good i normally would'nt give new music the time of day because its crap but i'm glad i listened to this.

Thanks for your comments, and viewing, Band-Maid Live. In regards to the guitar solo not being as long. Band-Maid, with a few exceptions, keeps their solos short with the idea of keeping the audience coming back for more. As you may have noticed they try to orientate their arrangement so each member has a time to shine, again with a few exceptions. Their focus, as a band, is on what is best for each song.

These ladies are the real deal.

Trying to read the lyrics while listening to the music and singing will drive your brain into overload. Minimum 3 listens to a song before turning on captions. Enjoy. Over 100 songs to go.

Misa on bass is my favorite one in the band 🎸

Band Maid. Simply the Best! Thank you Miku!

and they then go into Domination right after this video

I saw them twice last May, at Sonic Temple and at Detroit's St. Andrews Hall. They self produce their studio recordings and do their own backing tracks for their live performances. If you hear orchestra or keyboards in the backing track, it's usually Kanami's work, although Misa and Akane also make additions to the MIDI tracks. Band-Maid is as professional as any show business act performing today. They add and delete songs from their setlist night after night. They have over 100 songs in their repertoire and they know them all well enough that they can rehearse a "new" song during the afternoon pre show rehearsal/sound check and it will be nailed during the show. They played "Unfair Game" at Detroit: the one performance during the tour. During their "Okyu-ji's" Band-Maid keeps the audience engaged from beginning to end; everyone leaves with a smile on their face. Band-Maid puts on a show like no other and they know EXACTLY what they are doing. After I post this comment I will be watching the livestream replay of their Yokohama Arena tour final: a well paced three and a half hour show brimming with energy throughout. "Play" is no. 4 on the setlist. The concert discs will be released this Spring.

Top tier Band Maid here! There's actually an even better live version out there, but sadly no longer on KZfaq You should check out their liver version of Manners/Black Hole. 2 for the price of 1!

Play , was originally an instrumental , but Saiki lead vocals liked it and asked Miku rhythm guitar to write lyrics so she could be part of it , when the Small Pigeon (Miku ) says Sing you Sing , I saw them twice they did Play both times .

Great reaction. For closed caption lyrics, official live "Domination"

Live Maid is the Best Maid....With the exception of Classic groups like Rush , the Rolling Stones, ZZTop ect....no other group can elevate the studio version of a song like Band Maid does....the Yokohama Show last month was amazing... You should try the Live version of Puzzle, No God, Freedom or Manners /Black Hole...

Welcome aboard, Phil & Sam. You are embarking on (along with many others - over 190 million YT views plus over 40 million reactor plays!) an awesome, progressive, hard-rock journey with 5 incredible women. Here's my intro blurb for those who may be new to Band-Maid: BAND-MAID’s songs and sound beat with the heart and soul of all rockers. But you’ll also hear heavy influences of Prog, Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Jazz, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Joy of Playing, Consistency (130+ songs), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destined for mega-stardom. Each member's personalities are super interesting and their musicianship among the best. Their writing, arrangements and overall sound, especially guitar tones and drums, are kick-ass! Having seen them LIVE, I can honestly say their performance, sound, stage appearance, and band synergy is off-the-rails spectacular! Band-Maid is the only band in decades where I love nearly EVERY song they’ve done. I have over 70 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8qjaspkspOYnIU.html Their songs from albums Unleash, Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Shambles, Warning, No God, Different, Black Hole, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Don’t You Tell Me, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Choose Me, I Can’t Live Without You, and on and on. But don’t miss out on their powerful, beautifully written, mid-tempo songs like Daydreaming, About Us, Memorable, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, At The Drop Of A Hat, Mirage and Smile... or more punky like After Life, Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like Manners and The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or a bit jazzy like Wonderland… or progressive like No God, Giovanni, and Black Hole… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like From Now On, Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts… or their many acoustic versions like Catharsis and Sayonakidori... and last but not least, their Anime hits (AniMaid) like Sense, Glory and Unleash!!!!! (from their own Anime MV (series?)): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bbJykqiBuJqceHk.html) And many songs are represented with over 50 well produced music videos. kzfaq.info Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYU-JI concerts:  ONLINE OKYU-JI (Feb. 11, 2021) “No God” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pKeUitF6t9CrkZ8.html  Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA (February 14, 2020) “Domination” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h8iphKZ705zWiZs.html  ZEPP 2018 “Real Existence” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y9eBoa56sbiZpWQ.html  Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 and other full concerts are on bandmaidprime.tokyo, bili, and official Band-Maid’s DVD/BD/CD.  “P and D⁴” 30+ Photo Collage videos at www.youtube.com/@PinD2/videos And some of the better quality fan videos are excellent. Here’s two of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at an intimate venue:  Shot by Pat McKee from their 2023 US tour concert in Detroit: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/es2oiJB-u9DYkWQ.html  See the Maids 2023 Rockville Festival’s short-set perfection performance: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rNCKnrGW1K3RmJc.html If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, CD, DVD/BD & Merch, etc. bandmaid.tokyo Like most Band-Maid songs, I like them from the get-go but really start to appreciate them after more hearings and seeing their LIVE videos. I'll go back and see an older song like YOLO, Order, Shake That, Freezer, Before Yesterday, Real Existence, Non Fiction Days and Alone, etc. and realize there's no band that can consistently construct and play like Band-Maid. For fun, check out an awesome, little known "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009 Band-Maid Members: Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “StarQueen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 29 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 frontwomen... or frontmen! 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 SpokesPigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. Kuruppo! No, no, no… KURUPPO!! 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 from Mincho 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! Maidiacs (Maid-e-acts) - Band-Maid’s crazed yet supportive, knowledgeable and loyal Super Fans. [BAND-MAID NEWS]  BAND-MAID PRIME - Special Video Distribution Website. Along with nearly 50 great play-through’s by each member, concerts and skits, Band-Maid management / label(s) have included the Acoustic Christmas 2021, ZEPP 2018 and Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 concerts! Fans can now see more than 50 great live performances with awesome audio, etc. like Fate, I Can't Live Without You and the great MISA / Kanami exchange in Don't You Tell Me. Those concerts are two of the best produced & performed concerts ever recorded, IMO. bandmaidprime.tokyo  The Maids SOLD OUT 2023 US & Mexico tour wrapped up and was a fantastic success. And so many great live fancams to watch! Their playing and antics were as fresh and fun to experience from first show to last. BRAVO Band-Maid!!!!! In addition, their Japan tour finished up with 13 concerts, AND they’re writing and recording for their new album. Their 10th Anniversary Tour concluded at Japan’s 17,000 seat Yokohama Arena on Nov. 26, 2023 and in Hong Kong Dec. 21! The Maids are one of the hardest working super groups in the business! Their music, their sound, each of the Maids, and the love that permeates their live events is an experience not to be missed. Hope you can catch them LIVE!

thank you PHil & Sam BMAID my fav band 5 years now best is BLOOMING and DAYDREAMING cya

I love Bandmaid

You should check out Freedom and Domination from the same show,

While Band Maid is best heard live. I've been to two live concerts and they are amazing. If you would like to hear an extended solo by Kanami, their lead guitarist, you should listen to "From Now On", the official music video, It is another instrumental video. It's ,basically, an entire solo by Kanami (with a bass solo by Misa thrown in).

Go watch the Dice/Hate double feature from Lollapalooza.

The thing that makes Band Maid truly unique is that each one of the maids is absolutely insanely talented, like some of the best musicians of the 21st century...but none of them try to take the spotlight over each other. Each of them are total and absolute badasses in their roles within the band. And none of them have a typical "rock star ego" about them....they are all just so humble about it! The drummer, Akane, once said it best about what makes Band Maid so effective: "We all decided to make this kind of music together. If one of us suddenly decided to do something else, it wouldn't work." And thank GOD that they all agree!!!

Energy wise, their 10th Anniversary show last November was supposed to be from 6pm to 8pm, and actualy went from 6:20pm to 9:50pm. 33 songs. And their are planning an after show with 22 songs not played during this last one.

WOW. Just WOW ❤

Best Rock band on the planet. Watch HATE? at Lalapalooza 2023. Be sure to fashion your seatbelt, you'll get your guitar work you're missing.

Happy New Year all! I've been lucky enough to have seen them four times over the last 14 months. Yep, they are that good--consistently amazing.

That last, ringing, note fading out segues into the MV of the live version of DOMINATION which you've seen already. They were the 24th and 25th songs of this 26 song concert - energetic and dedicated ladies.

I had my first serving from the Maids last spring in Atlanta. Such a fun show! Then I went on to see other female fronted Japanese bands Babymetal and Hanabie, and they brought unique energy as well. Looking forward to my favorite LOVEBITES, September 2024 in Atlanta!!! Their USA debut!

Simply put, the best live rock band on the planet.

I don’t listen to Band-Maid on repeat, or even that often, but if they are playing live within 1000 miles of me, I’m going every time.

You have to react to Onset by Band Maid its crazy good

Good job!. Happiest band of the World. More Band Maid please!

It's really hard to pick just one Band-Maid song . I'm glad you like "Play" I was going to suggest "Real Existence" Live but i didn't think y'all were ready for that one yet =) Great Reaction and Happy New Years

❤Them.Makes a old Rocker Happy..

The next track after this is called Domination. They're latest release "Shambles" is a banger!

Larkin Poe just won the Grammy .two sisters are the best singer guitar

Play was my introduction to Band Maid (a previous concert version from 2018), and ended up buying this concert on DVD. Shipping from Japan cost more than the disc, but it was 100% worth it! Edit: By the way the last note here is the starting note of "Domination", You might as well take a look at it. Also at 6:09 Brrrrrrp Brrrp Brrrp....

Live listens: "Domination," "Freedom," "Manners," and "Black Hole." But honestly any live video is worth it!!!

Puzzle&Freedom Listen Please👍

Hmmm.... guitar solo....check out their song....From Now On....

MISA MISA MISA!!!!! The Guitar solo was the intro this is one a few songs that doesn't have a mid song Solo most are very short anyway but they ALL fit the song.

...and the end notes fade into the first notes of Domination!

These talented ladies went straight to the top of my favorite list a few years ago, when I first heard them. Great pick, you just can't go wrong with Band-Maid though, regardless of the song. If you want more of the music as a spot light(guitar solos) they have several instrumentals- "From Now On", "Onset", and "Without Holding Back" are a few that come to mind.

!!!BAND-MAID GOODISM¡¡¡ Greetings from Argentina

プレイをとりあげてくれてありがとうございます! 彼らのライブにおけるイントロはわれわれをいつも楽しませてくれます。 又曲によってはドラム　ギタ－　ベースによるバトル(Jazz的な)はロックの楽しさをより新しいものへと進化させてくれます。 ポジティブでハッピ－でかわいらしくハード・・・・・オンリ－ワンな存在です 20～50曲ぐらい聞き続けてもジャンルは特定できません、ジャンルはバンドメイド・・・・

Give me a F...king break you just saw a total master live performance and you are worried about the lyrics ??? There's this thing called google....look them up....and as far as the guitar solo if you had the ability to hear it with Kanami and Misa going back and forth with Akane throwing in a barrage of triplets on the bass drum was incredible!!!!!!!

🤘🤘

Saw these wonderful ladies 6 times!! Each and every one of the shows were different . The lead guitarist is very modest and does not want to outshine any of her band mates . #bandmaid

BAND-MAID the best thing to happen to music since cave people started hitting sticks on logs, what a fcken band Po, cheers 👍🍻

Here we are. They're not a studio band they shine more live. Watch Domination officail live with caption and guitard solo and more hahaa

I was in Tokyo in the mid 70's, I was amazed at the chick bands and that was almost 50 years ago. Very Kewl and Hell Yeah Y'all

I thought the Guitarist at the Beginning was NiNi from Thailand Band Maid is showing Me that Asia has a lot of Very Talented Rocking Young Ladies.

FYI Name of the venue is SHIBUYA KOKAIDO, shortened name is SHIBUKO.

👍❤‼️

New to your channel, Kanami and her lead work check out "Puzzle" official live "Real Existence" official live,and for Saiki vocal range and a bit different "Wonderland" official live video,thankyou nice review.

Holy Crap I got off work at 7 am this morning, I found your video from two days ago and have not stopped, it is now 5:04 pm and I'm 9 months in. I can't get enough! I have watched 9 months' worth of your library in 10 hours. I have video suggestions but I will keep them to myself because I know your list of requests is very long so I don't want to waste my time even trying to make suggestions because it may be months before you get to them so I'll just continue to watch and hope some of my ideas are already on your list from other viewers.

Band-Maid best hard rock band also Lovebites( another all female Japanese band) best heavy metal band

ドラムのアカネをジミー・ペイジが褒めた事で、一気に有名になりましたね。

Samantha heard us say “Ikuzu!” 😁

あけましておめでとうございます。今年もBand-Maidのリアクション動画、どんどん投稿して、世界征服に協力してねぇ〜！

Have you not heard The Warning yet?...they will surprise you... Three sisters from Monterrey, MX. The band started in 2012. They became The Warning in 2013. Today they are Dany, a 23-year-old guitarist, Pau, a 21-year-old drummer, and Ale, a 19-year-old bassist. In 2022, they performed over 100 concerts across North and South America opening for Foo Fighters, Halestorm, Pretty Reckless, Three Days Grace and Guns 'n Roses. In 2023 they played 75 shows in thirteen countries, opened for Muse nine times, opened for Guns and Roses and played at the MTV VMAs. In 2024 they will play at Shiprock, Tecate P’al Norte Festival in Monterrey, Vive Latino festival in Mexico City, European tour, Mad Cool festival in Madrid and the Wacken Open Air festival in Germany. They are classically trained pianists; Dany and Ale have played sax in the past. All three sing lead and background vocals; Dany is the lead singer. They were inspired by the video game Rock Band and two of their songs are available on Rock Band IV. They were on the Ellen Show in 2015. They are completely bilingual as they attended a bilingual Catholic school in Monterrey, the Liceo de Monterrey. They all subsequently graduated high school through homeschooling. They attended the Berklee College of Music summer program in Boston in 2015. They started out as a cover band; the cover of Enter Sandman launched his career. They now have 49 original songs on an EP, three albums, two singles and two unreleased songs performed. No bad songs. Their most recent single, More, came out on May 12. At their concert in Guadalajara they debuted two new unreleased songs. They have a rich collection of live videos, music videos, and lyric videos on their channel. There are also vlogs and individual performances. His most legendary concerts with professionally filmed video are: - Monterrey High School 2015 - TEDx at the University of Nevada Reno 2017 - Dakota Bar 2018 - Lunario 2018 - Didi Forum 2019 - Whiskey a Go Go 2019 and 2020 - Quarantine Concert 2020 - Teatro Metropolitan CDMX (4K and HD audio) 2022 - Private show in UK (acoustic and electric, now public) 2023 When they are not acting, they are humble and down-to-earth people. Dany is silly and affectionate, Pau speaks with passion like a machine gun and Ale is introverted and a perfectionist. When you fall down the Warning rabbit hole, you can't go back!!

Ever heard of Lovebites? If not I think you really should check them out

If you really want to see guitar work, and bass work, and drum work, react to the live official video of Onset (that's if you haven't already reacted to it), an instrumental that is one of the finest I have ever heard after following rock for over 60 years. A vital, technical and complex composition that is performed to the nth degree. Another amazing instrumental is From Now On, which is a music video at this point. I'm not sure if they did a live official version, but I haven't seen one. This song is another complex story/composition from the Mozart-like mind of Kanami Tono. She tells a story, but its the instruments doing the singing. It is truly epic............and I mean epic in the area of Don Wilson and The Ventures and The Shadows from England in the early 1960's. Stellar musicianship as always, but on a whole different level as Onset. Your jaw will drop at the first riff and stay dropped until the close of the song. I think the only way you could check the live performance of FNO is to search the song being played at live shows on tour. I've seen BM 3 times and they have played Onset, Play and From Now On each time, so you should be able to find a clip. Given your experience in sound, you will be pleased. You would have chosen...........wisely, lol.

Nice Reaction Guys!

Please try "Freedom" the live version from the same concert

Now react to Lovebites Judgement Day. Band Maid are the queens of rock and Lovebites are the Queens of Heavy Metal.

A little history, in the 60's the western rock bands began touring Japan. They sang in English, so why shouldn't a Japanese band on tour in the US sing in Japanese. The lyrics for all of their songs are in the web, all you have to do is Search.

0:02 / 3:34 Link Wray - Rumble Reaction

Great!! I'm sure it's been said guys...'Domination' Official Live continues immediately after and you get lyrics, solos...all you can eat buffet of even more energy and stronger lead-vocal :-)

Band Maid in live its a 1000% better

Thanks. It could be said that prefer live version with Band-Maid, if available (however, e.g. 'Manners' I prefer official video). Greetings from the Finland 🇫🇮 a.k.a Nightwishland.

The song where Band-Maid says "Let's Go (it's showtime)" would be called "Different". (Heck, you even keep mentioning the word Different so many times 😂). So sorry, wrong song to hear those words. Maybe you should check that song out.... hmmm..... Oh, this song is like the 22nd song out of the 24th song of this concert, which makes the energy levels kind of insane really. Anyway, if you want to check song #23/24, it would be their Original Live Video for Domination. Oh you'll get your solos there alright, yes sir. Even though it was almost the end of the concert, the whole performance of that song was still pretty epic. Really recommend you check that video out as a follow-up to this song.

EvaCassidy Over the Rainbow...video has 25 million views

Another all female Japanese band to do is Lovebites. My Metal Queens 🤘 Recommend Shadowmaker Music Video.

Nice reaction. If you want more guitar solo's definitely check out Lovebites "Judgement Day" live Knocking On Heaven's Gate concert. Have been a sub for about 9 months. First time request. Really like your channel. Keep up the good work.

Bro you gotta check out the brand new Nemophla song AMA-TE-RAS it kicks ass! They are an all female Japanese metal band.

These girls are great and a joy to watch. If you wanna get a big smile on your faces, from start to finish, give JUNNA a listen to. A girl drummer from Japan, try watching her cover Through the Fire and Flames by dragonforce.....truly fun to watch and Idk what is more impressive, her skill or her enthusiasm. Kinda wish Junna would of been in BandMaid, but not sure what she's doing now.

if you like Band maid check out Lovebites

It's always good check band out live.At leasti think

Band-Maid is better experienced live. Sounds better live - no matter how many times you see them live, there are still so many favourites of yours not included in the setlist, or they play same songs with whole different intro or expand mid-section. Or devuting a new song - there are always great surprises that only live goers can experience. Fans know that and that's part of the reason that they bring so many repeaters to their shows following them around everywhere they perform during their tour. We want every dvd of every single Band-Maid lives, IF possible - fancams are not really allowed in Japan😢 but fans who went to the shows share the setlist and leave rest of the maidiac community all jealous. Lyrics? Half the times I don't get what they're saying in my native language (and theirs) unless it's a slow ballad.

If you're into hard rock Band-Maid is phenomenal! I'm a metalhead so Lovebites is more my thang. If u like metal whatsoever, you should check out LOVEBITES, if you're still exploring Japan. M&M are two of the best to ever wield the axe. See for yourself...any recent live video on their YT channel. Would lean towards Judgement Day to get a baseline. They are doing a World Tour next year...thought it would never happen. Happy New Year! 🤘

Hi Phil & Sam, they are very good Musicians and mastered there instruments, I am a subscriber to an Asian Woman by the name of Rikki who is an excellent Guitarist

Please react to the The Warning - DISCIPLE Live at Teatro Metropolitan CDMX 08/29/2022.

Long as you are reacting to female bands you need to watch The Warning, a trio of sisters who are absolutely top notch hard rock.

As great as Band Maid is, you are hardly even scratching the surface of Japanese rock/metal. Here is a starter for some of the top bands: Lovebites - The Hammer of Wrath (live) Nemophila - Dissension MAXIMUM THE HORMONE - Yoshu Fukushu Hanabie (Ha-na-bee-eh) - We Love Sweets Wagakki Band - senbonzakura (1,000 cherry blossoms) Babymetal - Give Me Chocolate

try lovebites
