Guys, if you haven't noticed, this song has Kanami basically doing solo riffs thoughout the song. No ear infection on this band. Do "Onset" live next time.

Stan and Brian, you guys are fortunate like all of us to have discovered BAND-MAID...........THE BEST HARD ROCK BAND IN THE WORLD!!!

This one is still in my BAND-MAID top 5. Those harmonies. Saiki, the lead singer, had throat surgery for polyps some time ago. Fortunately totally successful. You could really hear how hoarse her voice was in interviews leading up to that. As folks have pointed out, if you're really thinking of ear issues, it's probably Re:No, the former vocalist for Aldious that you have in mind.

This live version is breathtaking. Where is the time for Saiki to catch breath in this one? 😉. She's amazing. Lots of words and fast pace structures and timing sequences for her to do. Just overall greatness.

There is also an acoustic version of this song that I think you should check out. The feel of the acoustic version is very different from this one, a lot more emotional. I recommend you do it soon, while this is still fresh in your mind. At the very least, re-watch this video before reacting to the acoustic version so you can get a good comparison between the two. Here's the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7WZq81pvaucdas.html Note: The video I linked actually contains 2 songs. That's why it is 14 minutes long. Puzzle runs from the start to about the 7 minute mark. I leave it up to you whether or not you want to react to both songs or do just Puzzle and react to Anemone, the second song, at a later date. Love your reactions. Keep up the good work.

Little female Hard Rock Ninjas! I love them to bits!

More Band Maid to finish my Sunday perfectly.😁 Must be Aldius you're thinking about with the ear thing. Saiki is still very much part of this band "thank god".😁

The singer Saiki had some throat issue. You can hear that in old interviews that her voice was always croaky. She has to undego a sugery but all went fine and now her voice is stronger than before.

Saiki is fabulous here. A very catchy AND emotional song. The strong unit of these five girls is something special.

Greetings from England, Love your reactions to BabyMetal and Band Maid. The lead singer of the band Aldious had to leave because of problems with her ears. Maybe this is what you were thinking of. I am envious of you going to see BabyMetall, good Luck.

Guys, there seems to be a delay where the audio is about 5 seconds ahead of the video. I've watched this video enough times to know. Possibly your video capture software is acting up. Just though you'd like to know.

Bandmaid-Lead singer had polyps removed from her throat but that was over a year ago and things are good now

Wearing in-ear monitor for long periods, especially in hot condition can lead to problems. Japanese dont tend to sweat so much, so at least girls have that on their side.

Great reaction as always and yes, Kanami does remind me a little bit like Angus as in they both play lead guitar and are really good at it and wear short pants.

And that guys is how it is done. I will have another serving, please.

Guys.... Thanks for the reaction. Keep on the reaction guys. Love it! Btw I only subscribe you for the reactions. You guys rock!

Love Band Maid. Just found out about them about 1 month ago. Scored tickets to their concert in NYC in Sept. You guys should do reactions to Leo from Frog Leap Studios. Super talented musician. Usually plays all the instruments. He does metal covers of popular songs. One of my favorites is Toto's Africa. If you do a reaction to it, stick around for the Outro. It's awesome as well. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g65pedx92Myoqqs.html

The Sounds Sync was off. I hadn't heard about an ear infection. Saiki did have to have a throat operation that she had been putting off, but she fine now.

Nope. However, about a year ago when they set out on their World Domination Tour, Saiki (main vocalist) was only 3-4 months post throat cancer surgery. Let me tell you, she came back early but more of a powerhouse than ever and with more range and control! I think she is to the mic what Akane is to drums.💪🏻🤘🏻

Japan will save Metal and Rock

The lead singer of Aldious, Re:No, had problems with hearing and had to quit the band.

Dude how have we let them go thos long without doing Band Maid - Dice and/or Blooming? You guys will love them both

I haven't heard anything about Saiki having an ear infection. You might be thinking of Aldious. The singer of that band had an ear condition so severe she had to leave the band.

I like your nice reaction ! thanks a lot .

🤘🤘❤️🤘🤘 Oh excellent!! 🤘🤘

you really need a earphone for this live clip in order to hear every members more clearly.

Another rockin Japanese all-female band : FLiP. Bat Boy! Bat Gir !l - Live : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/armoZ6l5063NdIE.html . Enjoy :)

Ity was nodules in Saiki's throat / chords. She underwent surgery.

I believe it's the former lead singer of Aldious who had the issue with her ears. She had a Eustachian tube disorder that makes her voice echo inside her own ears whenever she speaks; sort of like the way your voice sounds when your ears are stopped up. She tried to treat it for a year before she had to quit singing because it was too difficult to perform at a high level dealing with that. There isn't a known cause or cure for the disorder. From what I can tell, she's completely dropped out of the public eye. She cut off her signature long blonde hair, died it chestnut, posted a few photos, then turned off all her social media accounts that were tied to the band.

Akane is just plain showing off on this one. I love that "drummer face" when she is beating the toms and snare. Wish they would show more of her. Sorry dudes, I don't fakebook and I never will

The only J-Pop/Rock singer that I know of that has hearing loss form an ear infection is Ayumi Hamasaki Here is one of my favorite performances from her: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eqiGdbqeq9XYaYE.html if your interested

The girl you’re referring to is RE:no from Aldious! She had acquired an ear infection that seemed inoperable, so she was kinda forced out of music

React to *I BEEN THAT* .U would definitely love it🤘

I hope you react to the new album ...I am pretty sure you'll like it ;)

So how does the video and audio get out of sync when they come from the same source ? I've noticed this many times on reaction vids. Just wondering.

No ear infection. Wrong band.

You guys need to eat more fish. It’s good for memories.

I think you mean the Singer of Aldious...RE:NO. She has a problem in the inner ear now and can hear herself only badly. So she had to stop as a lead singer for Aldious.

?

Livestream??? More like Livepuddle. 2 songs by BAND-MAID, 2 songs by BABYMETAL. WTF was that? Went to bed early on a Friday night for that? Big commercial for the upcoming concert DVD's is all it was. CLICK BAIT of the worst kind.
