This is fun stuff

どういたしまして 🙏 Yes, that boy was the happiest human being in the world after this show, I'm pretty sure 😍🥰

🙏

It's interesting that they have switched to an English version of those calls. I am so used to this "Arigatou gozaimashita, BANDO-MAIDO deshta!", I was kind of missing it 😂

@@VladimirChupin I absolutely Love this Band. would love to see them live..

Boston show was very interesting. The girls used that unusual stage configuration to the maximum.

Angus wears a school boy uniform and Kanami wears a maid outfit. They both work perfectly.

That was a crazy trip 😳💥🔥 But I was happy all the way through. So many amazing people, so many miracles on the way. Kiseki-po! Miracle-po!

🙏

Yes, KZfaq was misbehaving with many videos. I uploaded those straight from the phone, and it decided to stop at 360p, never progressing to HD quality. Originals are here: www.asuswebstorage.com/navigate/a/#/s/7D8C8CA8AB804948BE2A4F7DAFE4BA074 And here they are in Google Photos: photos.app.goo.gl/K5ggvM6Q8t934JDo9

You mean the song? Why silly? 🤔

@@VladimirChupin good musicians but never been able to understand the whole creepy Japanese girl-cosplay thing in metal

@@bloodnthuner Ah! I see! Yes, it was a huge problem for me at the start as well. KZfaq was pushing that THRILL song up my recommendations list, but I avoided clicking it for months. I thought these girls in cute outfits can't be serious. Probably just some dancing, and a moderately interesting singing, maybe. And when I heard Akane's drumming and MISA's bass solo, and Kanami's shredding... You know, they do it on purpose. I remember I was really surprised listening to that interview in Hiroshima from 2016, I think, where a journalist was asking people in the waiting line why they are interested in BAND-MAID. And each guy started his comment with that "gap" notion! "You know, I saw these girls dressed as Maids, expecting them to play some cute pop (kawaii), but when they started playing, it was so cool (kakkoii)!" So, this contrast kawaii/kakkoii is a huge selling point in Japan. But in the West, it's the other way around, people have a difficult time overcoming the "gap." How I overcame it-I just listened to the music only, not watching any MVs or anything. After I listened to almost all of their discography just in my headphones while walking to the office and back from work, I did not care in the least how they dress. They could be on stage in hijabs or in burlap sacks, I could not care less.

@@bloodnthuner Well it's just french maid outfits, To me it's just as silly as things like what Gwar, Kiss, 80's Glam metal bands or the whole leather and spiked gauntlets a lot of the early thrash era bands had on... It's the uniform they chose, honestly they're not even really sexualizing themselves as much as a lot of the other female bands seem to do. I don't listen to the band for their uniforms or looks, I listen to them because they're playing the most interesting rock music I've heard in ages.

For me, it's a Soviet school uniform 😂 All girls in my class had to dress like this. Black aprons as the everyday dress, and white aprons on solemn special occasions. For me, it's actually a powerful feminist message, what BAND-MAID brings. Girls posing as girls, not trying to look like men. Equality of women and men does not mean that all must look equal-and what's worse, that women must look like men! That's the opposite of true equality. And BAND-MAID shows it in a very powerful way. They defeat many a man in the field which was considered an exclusively male domain for decades. But they emphasize that they are women, not men.
