Thanks so much for watching! We had a ton of fun with this as we always do with BAND-MAID! Let us know what you want and thanks for the feedback! Also, after listening again I actually really enjoy the mix. Very well done for a live performance! Killer stuff as per the usual 🤘🏻

Band-Maid's "Blooming" .......a masterpiece ! please check it out!

The image they created is what they call _"the gap."_ You see these girls dressed up, all nice and cute... But then you hear them play hard and fast music!

Misa's bass tones are like kicks directly to the human core.

Reaching in a hat 🎩 for a *BAND-MAID* song is not a bad thing cause every songs of theirs is incredible. Another great reaction Rock On!

Kanami INTEGRATES tapping etc. into enjoyable passages better than anyone alive IMHO. She is a master composer-musician-artist, not just from a technical standpoint. BTW, they are multi-instrumentalists who have studied music most of their lives. And while they may look younger, they are all in late 20s. Akane turns 30 this year. And her energy in every sense is awesome.

Great point at the sum-up: Yeah they're great technical players, but the *musicality*, the arrangements, the teamwork, the interplay on top of that are what makes them standouts.

Cool sound. Fact they are getting better and better. Specially Saiki vocal and Kobato more solid More Band-Maid reaction please. Thank you!

Talent is without doubt paramount but it is so much more. It is the total package coupled with the very unlikely prospect that something like this could even get off the ground. If we assign a talent factor of ten for each band members we do not get a total of fifty for the band. The total is much more like one hundred. The total far exceeds the sum of its parts. Sacramento loves Band-Maid.

They are sounding so great here. Not any bit boring - a fully rocking song even without singing. And I love what Miku is doing with the rhythm guitar nowadays.

Their reputation continues to grow in the world and many want to see them in concert. But I don't think we talk enough about Miku who founded and united this group, what a great initiative, who has the lyric and also not to forget that she did not know how to play the guitar 7 years ago . Thank you Miku for this wave of freshness. A French fan.

No band comes close to BANDMAID in terms of talent! THEY ARE IN A LEAGUE ALL BY THEMSELVES!

Onset the best instrumental rock song all time

Kanami, Misa and especially Akane are widely considered to be the some of the best in the world on their instruments.

Thank you for doing another BAND-MAID video! They're just so good.

Without Holding Back is another instrumental.

Don't be long, Without holding back and Go nuts are their other instrumentals. There's multiple recordings of Don't be long from their 2019 US tour, and only one fan cam of Without holding back.

You should check out "Puzzle". It´s my favorite "song" of them, "song" because it´s actually 3 songs in ONE song it feels like... A lot of different riffs, verses, solos all over the place and the lyrics (look an translation afterwards!) is a pure heartbreaking masterpiece! All their songs are great, but this one is in my opinion SPECIAL! Great reaction from both of you, like always, good to see you are enjoying this awesome band so much :) Greetings from Germany! P.S.: If you don´t find a good version of "Puzzle" let me know...

I consider Onset as a teaser number.....just to show how talented the musicians are in this band.....each solo is just long enough to leave you begging for more.....thanks for this review!

Thanks for coming back to Band-Maid again! They have enough great instrumentals to release a mini-album but unlikely to do so. It’s actually really difficult to get their recorded studio versions. Onset was a super limited release as a bonus for Bubble and Glory purchased together. They released 3 instrumental videos as a limited bonus for their Conqueror album. Everything else only exists as live performances, in “illegal” fan-recorded audio or video. And one more has not been performed live yet due to COVID. I personally suspect one of the 3 tracks in the “Different” single they are releasing in December could possibly be one of their already-written instrumentals, but it’s just a guess/hope more than anything.

A certain MR EDDIE VAN HALEN would be impressed with KANAMI'S tapping technique. Originally, Kanami played Addictone guitars but once she was noticed, she’s been PRS all the way! Kanami- PRS / Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier + 8 or 9 different pedals Miku- Zemaitis Custom / EVH 5150 (EDDIE VAN HALEN) stack + various pedals MISA- Black Cloud custom 5 string bass / Orange stack Akane- Drum Kit: Tama Star Bubinga, Snare Drum: Ludwig, Cymbals: Zildjian (left to right) Oh, by the way- JIMMY PAGE OF (LED ZEPPELIN) loves BAND-MAID, enough said....

Checkout Ron Ayala's version of Band Maid's instrumental 'Don't be long'. Done during a concert in New York.

Play is great. Feels heavier than it sounds. It's not as complicated as onset but one of my faves.

I like your honest reaction. I didn't know that bass guitar and rhythm guitar were so cool until I listened to Band-Maid.

Misa sounds like bloody Geddy Lee here WOW

Have seen you guys in a while, hope all is well. Definitely miss the two of you together doing Band Maid reactions. Hopefully that will continue or start up again in the near future. Take care and be well always !

Tasteful is a VERY good description for their work. It's so joyful and serves pure enjoyment instead of someone's ego or something else. It's just tasteful, very well put.

Happy Birthday MISA!!!!!❤️❤️❤️

I love BAND MAID. Thanks for reacting to their videos. Get this... You will like every one of their songs. But, my favorite is DICE music video. Thanks again. Take care and stay safe.

Miku on rhythm guitar really fills out the sound under kanami. She is way under rated as a player.

I am glad to have found your channel. There are too few like you. Only 5 young japanese women have to come to show the world that there is still good hardrock. But Band-Maid can be even harder. "Rinne" is actually almost metal and their hardest song. Pretty much the only song of them where you should watch the MV, because there is no official live video. "Real Existence" ,live 2018, is hard and (mostly) fast. Every musician should watch this clip of the band...to learn! This performance is a demonstration of what is possible for a rock band on stage! Both songs on the Band-Maid channel. Trust me☺, these two songs are the right ones for you.

the studio version is awesome as well(they actually did individual cams on each of them :) hopefully someone will share it with you

They dropped a BlueRay with the Limited version of Conqueror, their last LP, where they put three instrumental songs (versions of Domination, Dice and Onset) and you can select the single performance of every member as well as the complete band. The result is absolutelly brillilant. BTW: It´s still available.

Mesmerizing, hypnotic and so much flow!

Foot Note: Eddie Van Halen may not have invented two-handed tapping, but he perfected the practice and introduced it to a mass audience.

You guys are adorable and on point in your reaction video. Keep it up !

For me, Kanami Tono is the most interesting guitarist I've heard since Jimi Hendrix.

The day that Eddie Van Halen passed, Kanami mentioned that she wanted to learn tapping after watching Eddie play.

You can say it's a masterpiece. You can play it on a loop. 🥨 Instead of reaching the hat... Try "At the drop of a hat" 🤣

They do have a few instrumentals. This is the best though.

As I was driving I remembered a Japanese girl that does the song Burn with her band her name is JiKKI

Bands I like, Lovebites, Babymetal, BandMaid

hymn for the weekend

Wagakki Band - いろは唄 (Iroha Uta) / Live at Heian Jingu 2017, This song is sexy song, but make you two happy! form Japan

I see you haven't done Domination or Play, both live, both from the 2020 Shibuya Cube concert (same as Freedom and Wonderland). They are how I usually introduce people to Band-Maid.

there a live version from london you should check out, the crowd reaction is unreal

Someone said once that if you took apart any song by ABBA and put it back together in the perfect way, you’d be right back where you started. This is exactly the way I feel about BAND-MAID. The construction of the songs are all perfect and could not be improved.

to good

There are a few instrumentals by them

... and maybe you'll react to Lovebites next? ;-)

Misa the bass queen..

Love Bandmaid! Try Lovebites Holy War or Swan Song.

As a new channel, i'm a fan. I see you like Rush. do a full 2112 together.

FREEDOM 《live》

Mincho😍

Please react to ONE OK ROCK (Japanese Rock band).. Please react to - I was king(live performance Orchestra version)

Band-Maid could betray you in two, good ways. One. Cute young girls in French maid costumes smash a hard rock on your face. Two. They call themself a band but what it actually is a musical ensemble with hi-end an technicians. BTW, their instrumental tunes so far are known as: 1. On-set 2. Without holding back (unreleased)* 3. Don’t be long (featured in the latest single Different) *Fan cam available on YT

Love Band-Maid. If you want ridiculous guitar check out Lovebites

Hey Tim and Kim, big Band-Maid fan here, love that you appreciate them. Japan is filthy with insanely good all-female and female-led rock and metal bands. Yes, Band-Maid are my favorites, but you have to check out some of the others. Here is one that will blow your minds. I've suggested it several times, and I'm not giving up because I think you will not regret checking them out. Lovebites: start with their official MV "When Destinies Align" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nrJ2mM96npm6m4E.html and then your fans will have lots of suggestions for live performances.

Please react to Lovebites - when destenies align

The base and the drums held each other together for a long time but then they seem to part ways I don’t think the song had a good Center to it and I was really having trouble trying to figure out what is the theme was

If you love female musicians, try Tina S. You won't be disappointed.

If you think that tapping is simple, you really have not tried to do it.

Please react Edane - cry out

嫁がそーでもないのに、イイだろ〜これ〜してる旦那のドヤ顔が草

Onset makes yu quiet

こんばんは、お疲れ様です。 Band-Maid、ガールズバンドだからって、なめんなよ！ じゃんじゃんリアクション動画投稿して、世界征服に協力してね〜！ wwww

I am confused. You would rather hear this being played in the studio? Then you are silly. Playing live is much harder than doing a studio take and being able to do over and over. Playing live is the best. They knocked this song out of the park. Also, I do not like you gave them such a small screen. They are the stars, you are not!

This strikes me as odd.....most of the adulation for this band, these written comments, all read and sound very similar. ALMOST as though they were written by the same person....and unusual grammatical errors by people with English-speaking-sounding names. Claims that can’t be taken seriously - LOTS OF THEM. I looked up a name or two online, and can find no evidence that they actually exist. BeenVerified, Twitter, Facebook- that’s very strange. Now who would do that ? The same puppet-masters pumping music into the speakers at live shows for these musicians to strum their guitars to ? For money? Gross. If true, GROSS. The only thing they can’t manipulate? The music really isn’t very good. You aren’t fooling anyone. Go make an honest living - you’ll feel better.
