Besides making great music they truly have fun together. Just another reason Band-Maid is AWESOME!

The Maid's are more like friends and sisters than just band-mates! That's part of what makes this band special!

These girls are friends before they're band mates. Actually, I take that back - they're sisters before they're band mates. It shows in their performances. They are all good souls.

3:14 I love it when Kanami's face lights up when another girl shows her affection.

YAY. The Kawaii 5 PO are back again to capture our hearts.🙂

They are all so unassuming each with their own individual, understated elegance... and then they come up with such power and finesse when they play. Band-Maid as underrated as they are, are an important musical force that the industry and music fans worldwide will have to one day, reconcile! It's hard to stand by and wait for that day to arrive.

Tori never forget your name in Japanese means "Bird". So small pigeon Miku would love you.🙂

That beautiful shell covered Zemaitis guitar is very expensive one. Miku used it in Bubble MV.

Miku's cat Tora (Tiger) was formerly Saiki's kitten. He has a propensity to claw or bite if the situation is uncomfortable for him. Miku has a higher tolerance for that. Misa was just having a meal and deciding the best way to open a couple of boiled eggs. It's so cool how these late 20s-early 30s women love being silly like kids. That is part of Kawaii though - the traditional Japanese feminine ideal of childlike cuteness. So it is natural for them. A couple of more serious stories: In the middle of a concert, they're about to start the next song when Saiki calls a halt. She has seen an audience member fall down in the crowd. She goes over to the part of the stage nearest where they were and asks if they are okay and if they need medical help. They assure her they're okay and she's ready to rock again. Saiki has to project toughness and command respect onstage. But she is really a tender hearted soul. Her emotions she pours out in song are the real thing. And this is about when she herself needed help: It's an outdoor concert, and time for Saiki to walk across the grass to the stage. One problem - Saiki has a strong phobia about insects. Especially of them jumping on her. And that is what she is seeing. Grasshoppers jumping on people as they walk over the grass. Alan calls out to her to tell her it's time. Her eyes widen and she backs up. Akane sees that and realizes the issue. So she tells her just wait, she will come help. And she does: Goes to Saiki, squats down facing away, and invites her to take a piggyback ride. And takes her to the stage. They really do care for each other.

Band Maid is on this planet to do 2 things! Look Kawai and Play Bad Ass Rock and Roll! PO!😊😎✌🤘🤘🤘

At 3:49, iirc they're making Akane say the multiplication tables because she's notoriously bad at math.

During the online acoustic they have a commentary track and they reminded me of my wife's sisters; giving each other a hard time in a fun, loving way. As others have said, they seem very down to earth and good natured.

theres a lot more like that just type band maid funny and cute moments

You should check a few interviews as they are even cuter and funnier in those. Here's a few links to get you started. BAND-MAID interview - Music Gold Rush #73 & #74 [English CC] -- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bZp2h9x_uNnboXU.html This one is an older interview but still great. The ladies are in "character" for some of it, but their real personalities shine through, especially Kanami. The Roots of Band-Maid. Miku's Hometown Kumamoto kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nptirNKH37amf2g.html This is one of my favorite ones. Very funny. Saiki is pretty snarky in this one. The host is great. Lots of fun.

These really were so darned cute! I actually like some bands more as offstage people than for their music, but fortunately that's not the case here lol. However, if you want some backstage antics that are decidedly **not** kawaii, I can recommend a certain Rolling Stones "Rockumentary" about their 1971 world tour. It's name includes a very rude word, so I'll refrain from spelling it out here, but you can google it. Just be aware that it is about as opposite to this as you can possibly imagine, and will make you wonder how they survived until now haha.

Love your videos Tori, this is the first time I have seen one on this particular device I have so I can comment, keep up the great job and thanks for your time.

I think the building is in Barcelona, Spain...but not 100% sure.

Even cuter when you realize that Miku is 5' tall and Mincho is 5'1"...and, J-Girl bands are more like sisterhoods than band-mates.
