Lookin pretty old for 13 😂

my favorite is teacher teacher

Sweet Child O Mine

I understand your feelings very well. Band-Maid songs make you want to comment every 3 seconds, right? They have so many subtle techniques sprinkled throughout them ☺️👍 By the way, "you." is my favorite song. Thanks for your reaction 🤘

“Foreign band”? Like the Beatles? The Rolling Stones?

😂haha

Y’all stop right in the middle of words and way too often…I understand this is a reaction but I don’t get how you can react when you’re chopping up the song like that

Thanks for the great breakdown. The song is "You" off of Just Bring It. About tracks, they routinely use them. Keybords, synthesizer, backing vocals, I've heard a high-hat at one point. Four members use a click track but Misa doesn't. Apparently one of the reasons Misa plays bare foot is so she can feel Akane's kick drum. Cheers.

I agree MISA is unique. I don't know any bass player that structures her parts through a whole song like her. Lots of variation and short but perfect runs in space. And Kanami's guitar tone - always spot on.

For a long time Kanami played through a Mesa Head, but she recently switched to a Bogner, Virtually everything in the Backing Tracks is done by Kanami. i would love to hear what they're hearing in the In-Ear Monitors, especially a song without a lot of extra instrumentation, like 'Hibani', just to see what's there keeping them in time.

This is not fiesta pagana solo?

Another masterpiece by Band maid !!!!

Going from 0 to Maidiac in five songs. Pretty impressive and I love it. So when are you going to introduce your wife to Band Maid?

There's absolutely nothing better than a deep dive into Band Maid. The catalog is deep and wide. You let me know if you find a bad song in there because I sure haven't. There are so so so so so so so many songs that don't have videos that are just Epic

Love the drum pattern in 2nd verse is different from 1st verse...Akane Akane Akane! I think the video is either from 2016 Akasaka Blitz ot possibly Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017. Pretty old. Their new stuff are generally faster and more technical.

MISA MISA MISA!!!!!

A reactor who "Gets It"! Rock on with BAND-MAID

Thank you for coming back to the Maids. Great song to react to. There are still many more songs to do, so keep on rocking with the Maids! PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘

THE best Hard Rock band on Earth. There are lots of HQ live MV's on their YT channel with superb audio and they're fine about reactions.

Kanami is one of the most creative and brilliant Rock composers EVER! Band-Maid is an anomaly of talent, the "perfect storm", if you will.

My favorite rock bands from the 70s/80s were all male: Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, and others. Band-Maid is for me at the same level of excellence. 5 absolutely brilliant young women. You is a banger of 2017 (Just Bring It album) and the live is 2018. We'll see them next year, I hope. 🥺 Thanks.

Nathan -- Did you know it's illegal in all countries to talk through or stop a Kanami, MISA or Akane solo midstream? Yes! And it's an infraction of various laws that, if you do stop, not to go back to the beginning of that solo or transition before restarting the MV. Just thought you'd like to know before you get a knock on the door! 😯🤘🤣

The Maids are one of the hardest working, major, hard rock progressive groups in the business! Their music, their sound, each of the Maids, and the love that permeates their live events is an experience not to be missed. Hope you can catch them LIVE in 2024!! 🤘🎀🤘Thx, Nathan!

Kanami and co are sooo great at building up the songs and breaking it down at the right spots

Live, they do use in-ear monitors. They use click tracks and backing tracks, for everything else you hear, except of course for what each Maid is playing. Everything else in the background is usually programmed by Kanami. I've seen them live many times and this one live is AMAZING! Then again all of the songs they play live at their Okyu-ji's are AMAZING. Energy galore! You'll be head bopping, jumping up and down, pumping your fist, and clapping and singing on cue. You'll come out of that Okyu-ji with a stupid grin on your face and then have withdrawals for live Band-Maid for a month or two. Best time ever! PO!🕊

Great one from Zepp 2018

One of my favs from my favorite band. Thanks for the reaction. Keep the Maid content coming. :) Please.

so many great live songs. Domination live 2020, Don't You Tell Me live Yokohama , best Hate? version this concert too. best hard rock band live on the planet, resistance is futile.

Actually an older video and things have changed since then.

from JAPAN.　Thank you for your reaction to BAND-MAID.　I think you have come to the right time to check out the instrumental piece, ”FROM NOW ON”.　There are more instrumental tracks, but check them out anyway.　I am sure you will love it.

Thanks for supporting the Maids! You really should react to the live performance of "Manners / Black Hole" from their KZfaq page. The controlled chaos of Black Hole is just pure composition and musicianship genius.

Thank you for doing this song! Very few reactors have done this awesome Band-Maid song. 😊

Band Maid only has about 130 songs, and only about a third of them have official videos. This and many others without official videos are just as great as the ones that have been released. This song is my current new fav because I finally read the translated lyrics. In short, Saiki and Miku are telling You how desperately they need You.

This song is not from a recent festival... it belongs to their 2018 gig at Zepp Tokyo, not many reacted to it, cos it is not included in their official KZfaq channel... you know, it can be take down from KZfaq. 😨 About the choruses, I think Miku (rhythm guitar and chorus) in some sections (not always) uses some kind of harmonizer to add more depth. About Misa, she is my favorite Japanese bassist, but there are several equally good ones in her same league: Juna Serita / Jazz Avengers F Chopper Koga / Gacharic Spin Mina / Girlfriend Misaki Fujiwara / Sokoninaru Serina / Trident Fami / Lovebites Haraguchisan / Nemophila Wakazaemon / East of Eden and the Taiwanese KT Chang / Elephant Gym, which I include because she plays math rock, (a genre with Japanese roots) I'm sure I forgot some more. 😉

Your voice only seems to be coming out of my left headphone, but the music comes out of both.

I will continue to pray for Europe to get the Maids back in 2025. It's been since 2019. 🕊️🎶🎶🎶

Try this fan cam of "from now on" for a good look at Kanami's gear and board. It's a great show and sounds good because Vlad Chupin does good work. Thanks for the reaction! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z82de5d2yN3Wc2w.html

deep cut

The video is from a Zepp Tokyo concert from back in 2018, You is from the album Just Bring It (2017). The maids have a new album coming out in late September, hopefully that will lead into a world tour next year???

Thanks for supporting our Maids! 🍺😁🤘🏻🕊️

Band Maid were last in the UK and Europe in 2019 - there were multiple tours in the UK, but not since lockdown. After being forced to wait, I ended up going to Japan for shows. Fingers are now crossed for a tour sometime in the next 18 months.... but I'll end up in Japan again too!

They played this a few months back at The Yokohama Spinoff show and it was even better. You is off of the 2017 Just Bring It Album , their 1st full album and the first where, with the exception of a few songs, it was composed by Kanami with Miku's lyrics. Their previous 8 song mini album / EP 'Brand New Maid' had Kanami's 1st Band Maid song 'Alone' with 3 songs which had Miku's lyrics

This is a really old video, never officially released on YT (it's ripped from a DVD). The song is on their 2017 album "Just Bring It". They have changed some of their equipment since. Kanami (lead guitar) plays PRS Custom 24's through Bogner Pandora XTC amps and Mesa Boogie 4x12 cab (She used to use Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifiers as in this MV). She is a PRS official artiste. MISA on Bass uses Black Cloud Basses, a boutique company from Japan. She no longer runs through Orange, she has switched to Aguilar Amps. MISA is a Black Cloud artiste with her own signature model. Miku on rhythm guitar plays Zemaitis Guitars through 5150's. She is a Zemaitis artist with her own signature model called 'The Flappy Pigeon'. Akane on Drums does use Tama - a five piece Tama Star Bubinga kit with Zildjian cymbals. Her snare isn't Tama though, it was a Ludwig Black Beauty 14x5 but recently switched to a Gretsch G4169BBR Bell Brass snare. And a DW 9002 double kick pedal (but with the drive shaft swapped for a Pearl DS-300A). Most of their songs are in a mix of Japanese and English (They have three songs sung totally in English).

This video is quite old now and Kanami (Lead Guitar) has a new stack- still PRS guitars. Miku (Backing vocals/rhythm guitar) has a new stack- still Zemaitis Guitars). Misa (Bass)- new stack, same Black Cloud basses.

I'm not sure how other drummers go about their process. But Akane-san (drummer) scores her parts so it's very consistent and well thought out.

This song (and quite a few more B-M songs) will be played and dissected in music classes 20 years from now. Epic Hard Rock - How To Do It! Great reaction! 😎🤘

So Band maid is not one of your top 5 bands, but its the first band you review after your wee break? Hmmmm...😉

Fiesta pagana 🤔

Moon River!
