More Band-Maid reactions please.

Great cover and work in getting it from fancams. I don't even think MISA has done an SML isolation on Band-Maid Prime. The thing I like about MISA's part-writing is she puts meaningful color and weight where it fits with the song, rather than just plodding along with the main melody or trying to cram a lot of virtuoso jamming where it doesn't belong. She's definitely a "lead bass," but never overdoes it.

Nicely done...👍

Enjoyed it!! Great work. And also again come to appreciate the great song writing of Bandmaid.

I guess Akane was probably using both feet for that double kick part when they made the song - bet she can do it one-footed now (and possibly in her sleep).

Great bass cover. This was a lot of fun to watch. Glad you enjoyed learning and playing it as well. Hope to see more covers going forward. Cheers!

Excellent cover- well done for sorting that lot out.

Yo Mota Always a enjoyable time watching your Band Maid videos

Well done, Yo Mota

Not bad!

Excellent job! Really enjoyed it and well played. Now do that for 20-23 songs that MISA plays in a set. 🙃😄

Ur cover was awesome, this song is 1 of my favorites, listened to it for month straight on my ride to n from work

I look forward to it every time ❤️

Great reaction and comments. The attempt at covering the bass was admirable. You have really good ears. Picking up the subtle details is no easy task. Cheers!

Awesome. Keep moving forward. Thank you for making an effort to appreciate BAND-MAID/MISA just a tad bit more by playing her bass riffs. Pretty darn cool.

Nice..👍 keep going!!

Good stuff, always enjoy the playthroughs! I don't play an instrument, but get inspiration from Band-Maid nevertheless!

That was fun. Thanks!

YOU! One of my all time favorite Band-Maid songs! Nice cover! 😎🤘

Nice one. I don’t think there’s You on there, but consider Band-Maid Prime, where they have solo member views playing through their songs, which makes it easier to hear, and give you a visual reference of what they’re doing. The Misa self-cover of Corallium was really eye opening for me. Helped me appreciate the song more. She’s pretty hard to hear in the studio track.

Nice attempt on the cover. Might be worth grabbing some pyramid/larger triangular style plectrums for Misa/Koga covers as they slip less in the hand with thicker bass strings. JBI was my first Band-Maid album and also the only one I've since also got the vinyl for (the artwork deserves a full gatefold size sleeve). Although it's less complicated than the albums/EPs that come afterwards, it's already got all the hallmarks of their signature writing/sound and because of the less aggressive mastering I find it far less fatiguing on the ears, making it perfect for repeat listens whilst driving.

Hettsu Hettsu Hettsu!

If you are checking out Just Bring It album, go check out “Take me higher!!” live performance from Studio Coast show on Nov 24 2017, some recently uploaded a video of😊

Yes.! You. Is awesome.! Just like You.

you. is such an earworm :)

That bass tho

Band Maid shows humanity what is possible. Band Maid Forever!!!!

Yeah, I'd say they're doing rather well, it's pretty fun to see bands like NEK!, Paleneo, Hagane and others pretty much from the get-go. Kind of reminds me of following Nemophila's early covers to see them blowing up. It's also nice to not have to deal with overly conceited fanbases (interestingly only the foreign ones...), if you saw Hagane's latest premiere being used by a lot of Trolls just to talk sh#t you'll probably know whom I speak of :/ All that said, I'd very much enjoy seeinb you do DEZOLVE - Heart of The World ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iNGpdbV8p9HZfY0.html ). It's kind of hard to describe, maybe jazz-fusion-pop-rock. Awesome musicianship doesn't exclusively come from all-girl bands :) Plus, I'd love to see you do that bass part 😈

This was nice. I struggle with Gacharic Spin. The first time I heard them was Mindset, which I liked, especially Angie's vocals, but I poked around a bit more and wasn't finding a second song I could really get into. I feel like sometimes they can get too high concept, or there are maybe too many ideas, and I can't follow a throughline. I'll have to check out more. By contrast, I love Band-Maid, and I think part of their secret sauce is just ... discretion? Their writing can go nuts, but I think Saiki works as like an editor for the writing. They're basically a prog band, but they use their vocals, largely, to keep it catchy and grounded. I think in the process, they discard a lot of songs, and just that exercise of editorial discretion makes it so that I basically like 100% of their output.

Seems like the outfits are their version of Band-Maid's battle armor. They'll probably change seasonally, like after the album or whatever. Looking forward to the album. I like to imagine the legacy of Band-Maid will just be to inspire everyone to put more effort into whatever they do.

Thank you for your reaction and for the shoutout 😊

Also, while simple, that was a very Kanami solo.

Reminds me of the Goo Goo Dolls, Verve Pipe, etc. And yes, they are "in uniform." Also, btw, they just got signed to Band-Maid's label, Pony Canyon.

Here you go: Li-sa-X band, One More Chance is Enough. Hazuki from Nemophila is in this band also.

Work rate...MISA already squeezed a 30 year bassist career into a decade with Band-Maid. Nice reaction and bass work 👍👍👍

Kanami has been described as someone who has to keep writing music. It keeps flowing and doesn’t stop. So when they need a song Kanami scrolls through what she already has and choses one that sounds like it will work.

Band Maid is the priority

It's a conspiracy.

Great reaction, just like all the fans, jaw drop, eyes bulging, WTF. Thanks for reacting to Band-Maid.

MISA want's to plat her bass in such a way that when people think about bass in music they think about her. I think she has achieved this already. She loves to play in front of us but prefers for her music to do the talking.

👍👍👍

MISA, Akane and Kanami's formal training/schooling really comes out on these type songs. Kanami has so many songs in her quiver where she can pull one out, fire it at the girls and into the studio in a heartbeat......... I can say the same for Miku and her lyrics.

Akane is a Biest on the Drums nice reaction

This song is so catchy and yet so experimental! Love where Saiki goes falsetto with Islamic flavour, the little Koto or Sitar coming in after the first chorus, One of my favourite solos by Kanami and the final assault from the Band-Maid gang and what a finish! Love it so much 😍
