I've never felt this way about a band before. Is it weird that I'm so incredibly proud of them all?

The more you're invested in this band... the more meaning in the song ❤️❤️🦧🍌🙏

I love the way you highlighted those chorus lyrics. That Saiki appreciates the community so much she dreams about making us smile with their music. Great Reaction man.

Miku said as much in an Instagram post last night. The warm support, positive energy, and love they felt all through the tour. Miku's last words in Chicago " we will be back, Po ! " ❤️🎙🎸🥁😎🤘 Was heart felt ! Personally, I wasn't going to let the Maids leave Seattle without feeling the love !!!!!

"Memorable digital release! Please watch a lot of MVs 💓 I wanted to make a song that would warm everyone's hearts... 💕 I'd be happy if it arrived." Kanami tweeted feb 21st

MISA plays bass without her pick and Miku plays her acoustic with the heart sound hole. I have never felt this way about a band where I notice minute details. I have become such a fanboy.

For those who saw Band-Maid on their US tour, we can feel the love that went back and forth between the band and the audience. Previously I said the Dallas HoB show was the best and most fun show I have ever seen. Miku's reaction to the Say towels was priceless and I know she and the rest of the band were so touched. From what I understand the entire tour was filled with such moments. It is amazing they wrote this song during the tour at some point as a love letter to the fans. Band-Maid stand alone as the Beatles of Japan. They are phenomenal. No band I have ever seen is like them. Thank you to Miku, Mincho, Saiki, Akane and Misa Misa Misa for being such talented and wonderful people.

The measure of a great song is how long it lives in the memory & "Memorable" has already set up permanent residence in mine :)

I've never felt this way about a band. I'm not even sure how to begin to explain it. It's nice to know they feel the same way about us. 😍

Based on their comments your analysis of the lyrics is spot on

They really, really love their fans. Especially the people who came to see them at the live venue. They know very well that the Americas are many times larger than Japan. Japanese people can't help but respect those who make an effort.

Can't get this outta my head, man! Mincho magic.

61 years now and never had a band who surprises me on and on and on..... thank you Ladies

This song make you feel glad that you are a fan of Band-Maid. Can anyone tell me a band that writes to their fans like this? Maybe there is another, but I don't think so. I'm so glad that you like this, Champ. I need your positivity. You did not let me down. The lyrics and the melody are beautiful. Misa, oh Misa! Really love the rich bass line. It's my favorite ballad of all.

It is for the fans, the love they felt last October. I feel like I'm seeing my kids first step, it's that kind of proud, these Ladies have more class than any band I've ever known.

Very much a companion to About Us. This is a relief to be playing in front of live audiences in the US. I did mention somewhere else that I can't remember a relationship between a band and fans quite like Band Maid. They are very appreciative of the support and the fans are very protective of the Band. This doesn't mean slagging off other bands. But young and old seem to 'get it'. The music becomes an experience as much as just listening to a song. Rock or ballad, slow or fast. They don't over do the instrumentation but the more you listen there more layers you can uncover. A great musical work. Although having poor old Miku living in an old piano and busking her way across the desert seemed harsh.

Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。 This was filmed in USA without doubt. I can't figure out how they found the time-frame to film this in the dreary desert during their busy US-tour. Miku, that cute strategist, must have hidden a drone in one of her guitar cases 😄. And camera crew, too 🤣 (Probably it was filmed in between TLRS shows in NY and LA). According to Uta-Net info, the lyrics by "Miku Kobato - Saiki". You know there is a flow in an actual concert : high and low, hot and cool, excitement and calmness. At Tokyo Garden Theater on Jan.9, "Memorable" was premiered after "About Us" . These two songs soothed the audience emotion (I was there 😍) ... and then boom!! "Manners" 😲.

And can we talk about MISAs bass in verse 2....again!

such a beautiful ballad! Hope they play this when I see them in May! ♥

Without music I would die. Pretty sure this is what "art saves lives" means.

The Way Saiki has come as a Vocalist from Thrill to Gion Cho to the Puzzle the accoustic Version to Wonderland to this just blows me away

What will be probably an enduring Memorable thing is how much a musical group has captivated people in ways so loving and wonderful, worldwide. Band-Maid has worked their magic on just about everyone who has discovered this very rare jewel, Band-Maid always pleases, never disappoints, sincere to their fans, showing feelings openly, spreading good feelings....and even thanking the fans in a beautiful and loving manner. many reaction peeps have let down their guard and shown emotion viewing this masterpiece...

I feel like it's a follow up of About us, the first love letter to the fans where they missed us and now that they started touring again they give us a second love letter where they say how happy they were to see us and to see how we missed them

Thanks Champ. To me this song presents itself as so much more than a country tinged chamber pop tune when the meaning and intent is known. I love it.

Loved hearing your thoughts, Champ. It's a rare thing, this connection between a band and its fans.

Thanks for the great comments, Champ. You articulated my thoughts about Kanami's solo perfectly. God knows I could listen to the creative licks that she writes all day, but it seems like in Memorable she really wanted a more focused solo, a short but gorgeous feature that doesn't interrupt the balladic vibe for very long.

WE love them....THEY love us....we are FAMILY

I’m looking forward to seeing them in May for my first time ever I’ll be going to the Detroit show can’t wait going to be amazing BAND-MAID is amazing for writing a song for us Saiki voice is beautiful I going to try learn this song on my bass guitar it’s cause of MISA MISA MISA I’m learning how to play the bass see you in May Maids!!!! 🌎🎸👍😎👏 ant you’re right btw it’s a song for us fans 😎👍👏

Thank you for the review and welcome back! Edit: I just want to add that after listening to this when it premiered, I wound up going back and listening to About Us. Probably spent an hour listening to both songs, but hey who's keeping track.

You are right. It is filled with (your) love. Pronouns, adjectives and conjunctions often are not reflected in translation. The line "Everyone knows wonderful world" is missing it's. That's a linguistic difficulty but the meaning is clear. For those of my generation l have seen this relationship at this level between band and fans really only once before. The Grateful Dead and the Deadheads. The Deadheads would follow that band to hell and back. Jerry Garcia use to say we have the most forgiving fans in the world. The Dead had their Deadheads and Band-Maid has the Maidiacs. Why? Because with both the true fans saw and experienced something way above just the music. It was a way of life and l see it becoming very much so with Band-Maid. BTW the Mohave never looked better. Simply because Miku was strolling through. Miku was about 70 miles from LA and fairly close to where the hottest temperature ever recorded on planet earth occurred. Love these women.

now i have 2 songs that give me chills, the other is about us

Thanks Champ. You said it. This band will never know who I am, and they will never know the impact they have had on my life. The lyrics are defintely written with the fans in mind. Kanami wrote the song during the U.S. tour. The desert scene was filmed in SoCal during The Last Rockstars tour. All the feels for this one. 😭

Champ you are one of the reason they enjoy playing in the US.

Love that "it feels like a blanket." Nice exposition of the lyrics, good reaction.

Good job, Champ! Your explanations were helpful and on point. I hope the members feel the love from us. They'd be cynical people indeed if they didn't have some emotional reaction during the US tour. Crowds at show after show shouted out their love to them. It's a sweet song and performed emotionally. "Keep it simple, girls.", Kanami showing restraint in her writing, maybe this is what it was like in her singer/songwriter days. (Those videos _must_ surface some day!) Thank you, sir. P.S. Ryan made me tear up but I kept it together during your reaction as heartfelt as it was.

1o year anniversary.... It's an achievement and they've come a long way......

In the context of this song being a love letter between them and their fans, my first impression of Kanami's solo was a sense that, more than being one of her "short solos" in itself, it was in someway paraphrasing her. It's a charming, lovely, calm song.

Champ, I've watched your reactions since your first-time hearing DOMINATION (mv), and I will always look forward to what you have to say about music (BAND-MAID in particular). Thank you for his heartfelt reaction to MEMORABLE.

Thank you, Champ... Thank you...

Awesome song. And dammit, the desert, I recognize it, joshua trees and the mountains I know where that location is, bandmaid was less than 10 miles from my house and I didnt know it.

Hello my old friend... Mr. Wallet. Just ordered their new BD drop of the Tokyo Garden concert so I can hear (and see) Memorable over and over again. In the vein of other great mid-tempo Band-Maid songs like Daydreaming, Anemone, About Us, Endless Story, PAGE, Wonderland, Awkward, Start Over, Mirage, At the Drop of a Hat and Smile -- I’m so touched that their time in the States inspired the sentiment of Memorable. Just under $140 with shipping (April 26) & awesome bonus package* at CDJapan! Thx, Champ! * "BAND-MAID TOKYO GARDEN THEATER OKYUJI". Compiles 26 tracks including a new song "Memorable", which was performed for the first time at this concert. Limited edition includes a bonus Blu-ray featuring a documentary on their tour in the U.S. and over 100-page photo book. Deluxe packaging.

Great take on how the solo fits the song in a different way than "Daydreaming" dude!

When Saiki sings in her lower register she sounds so warm and sexy at the same time.

Great video, brother. I think you've expressed well what it's like to know and become a Band-Maid fan. I've been a fan of the band for about 3 years and I love the videos you make about them. By the way, you were responsible for me starting to listen to Dreamcatcher, I will always be grateful for that. Big hugs from Brazil

Velvet Saiki moves me...

It's specifically about the 2022 tour... they put on amazing shows, and the fan base gave it right back to them. "YOU LOVE ME"

Thank you for sharing this Champ. What absolutely gorgeous cinematography in the desert and what heartfelt lyrics. They really convey the relationship that they have with their fans - not just what we feel about them, but what they feel about us. This song doesn't have to show off their musicality to punch us in the feels (even though their skill does shine through anyway). I especially enjoyed the inclusion of the acoustic guitar as part of the sound. That Miku was played it was very neat as well.

This band can do what ever they chose .... gold Champ they know who you are believe it When you see them live as you did you can't miss the joy coming from them to those that are there to enjoy them

As I commented to Ryan's reaction; on the surface this feels like a very well-written love song, but only Band-Maid fans know _who_ this love song is addressed to, and understand _why_ they wanted to write this. To us Band-Maid fans this song has additional meaning because of the context we are familiar with. Loved to have seen the reaction of the guys in the pick-up when told where to drop off that piano! 😁(just kidding; all staged of course...)

I don't think she sings as the translation say, "You love me!", but "You loved me!", like she was loved in the gig last night. There are more strange things in the subs. And btw, I also hear "Your love".

Another masterpiece! Makes me teary-eyed. Your interpretation is head on!!

Love your breakdown and your take of the song. I get more appreciative of the song. Very good insight, thanks.

I love the song but found the video odd that it featured Miku so much. Then Saiki posted on IG about the video and said it's their 10th year, and it all started with one little lamb. They love each other as much as they love their fans.

I also feel connected to this Band Best Band i discovered the Last 10 years. They are like this Generations Beatles or Led Zepplin to me I Love Band Maid for soo many Reasons. They have great Personalities, They are Like Family, They are able to Play pretty much EVERY Genre of Rock and Metal. and last but not least they are beautiful. Oh and they are very very good musicians.

Wonderful.

"with love" and "with your love" were caused by the difference between Japanese and English languages...probably🤔 I'm sure that Miku and Saiki wrote the lyrics in Japanese and then translated into English. So my guess of the original Japanese lyrics are "kokoro ga ai de mitasarete iru no wo kangiru" (心が愛で満たされているのを感じる), and the direct translation of these are "feel heart is filled with love". I'm pretty sure that they even didn't have "I" (="watashi"="私") in the Japanese lyrics. In Japanese, "personal pronoun” is often omitted when it is clear from the context. When they worked on the English translation, they put "I" and "my" but forgot to put "your"...shirankedoh😏

Ryan was near to tears.

Thank you. I think you not only got the song intent right, you felt it. Good job bro.

The guitar solo is dream-like. There's a lot going on in the background with effects, echos and vocals. It's like they created a sonic foggy memory.

Daydreamin's solo feels Then I want you to listen to Judy and Mari's lover soul

Beautiful song and i totally get what you mean first time i heard the song i didn't read the lyrics but i didn't need to as i got the feeling it was a song for the fans specially as it's a mixture of english and japanese this world would be a darker and boring place without Band Maid in it

Band-Maid = Happiness💓.

I'm in love with Akane's drumming leading to, and during the guitar solo. They don't do it often, so I'm happy Memorable is another song where an acoustic guitar is used. Now joining: Anemone, Page, At the Drop of a Hat

I think as far as a band that "does things they don't have to do" (great statement btw) with respect to their fans, I've never come across one like Band-Maid. They're just so fucking open-hearted. I defy anyone to remain mean around them.

This is an incredible "Thank You" song from the band. I'm really losing count of how much I have to turn my head for a few moments or wipe away the tears when I listen to it. Thanks for sharing your reaction Champ, spot on! Much Respect homie!🤘

Especially enjoyed this reaction. 🤘

The solo in Daydreaming was an explosion of the emotional sequence, this one maintains the preceding emotion. However, I do wish it could've gone on for a couple more bars. Just wanted that emotional statement to go for just a little bit more. But, it's their choice to make, not mine. In the end, another great song.

love letter to fans. Say good things.

Saike had me ugly crying when she sang "You wove me" and "We both surwender"🥲❤️. Which makes me wove them even more. Great analysis Champ. I agree with you completely. You probably know that the lyrics are co-written by Sieke and Miku. To me, that alone makes it less likely to be a conventional love song.

MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃

muji" is not just the name of a chain of Japanese shops;----- it means "plain" ! There's a special reverence in Japan for things that are just "plain". No frills, nothing spectacular, nothing added at all----just plain----with a simple presence all its own. -------------This is what BandMaid gets across here. The polar opposite of glam, hype, melodrama, sophistry, pretension....etc................................. Miku gets it. She really gets it .

Love is the most powerful force on this old planet. I believe this incredible group of musicians have tapped into that power and we can feel and hear that. Apparently they feel that love reflected back. That's a hellavu feedback loop!

MISA MISA MISA!!!!!

This is such a fantastic song. Just a mellow vibe that just hits you right in your soul.

just like ABOUT US. Get out the tissues. I love these ladies.

This song is written by Kanami for audience.

Great reaction...now, back to Extraordinary Attorney Woo reactions. Not hate, big BAND-MAIDIAC here...but Woo to the Young to the Woo? Glad you're feeling better.

awesome stuff

Awesome, very well said! Great song and great reaction. Thanks.

This song managed to make me tear up. They are amazing.

Brilliant analysis and totally agree with you, Champ. Yeah!!

Champ you articulate yourself very well at how explaining and relating to Band Maid's songs. I always look forward to your reactions.

the lyrics were written by kanami this time. its a love letter from her to saiki.... kidding. youre right in what its about hehe. I'm sure band maid knows you guys, chase and we know from the concert they know Mr rock n roll

Only Miku would wear 3" heels in the desert. 🙂

Welcome back, Champ! ;-)

Thanks so much nice reaction.!

Thanks Champ!

For the record, it is Miku who wrote the lyrics of this song for the fans, but it is Saiki who gave them passion and meaning by the way she sang it. Not to leave out the trio, who tweaked the music until it matched the message.

Nailed it, Champ. 🤘

THIS HAS in my opinion the Best accoustic guitar Sound that Band Maid ever had. and Some of Saiki s best Singing But i also Love Miku here when she goes THIS TIIIME

good speech. the song is more feeling than music

You know what...all of my comments are trying to evade the feelings BAND-MAID has for their fans. If a US band did it, everyone would say, "Oh, Bullshit!" ...but this is BAND-MAID, the band that also gave us "About Us."

They're special.

this made me think of the guitars in master of puppets

I felt like some of the vocal runs were a nod to American R&B music, another way of saying "thank you."

Saiki is really starting to learn how to "sing" English. By that I mean she is learning how to stretch runs over words across several notes.

Joshua Tree in California.

If i was able to compose music Like Kanami i would ve started the guitar Solo at 9:16, But Who am i to question Kanamis Songwriting genius ?

Couple of errors in the subtitles? The "...your smile" that you noticed Champ, and surely the last line is "....our world" not '....a world' ?? Lyrically 'our' makes much more sense. Am I crazy?

....I feel connectet to the band as much as I feel connectet to you and other good reaction channels from the start. Is that wired? guess not.
