    Thanks to everyone who's been leaving comments and requests for more Band-Maid songs! This has been the most positive reception I've ever gotten for a video! I'm glad the "Maidiacs" are so welcoming and kind!

      When I first discovered these amazing ladies four years ago I very soon found out that the fan base is extremely friendly and kind. The fans take after the band who are extremely humble and set a great example. It is so refreshing nowadays.

      If you keep adding musical insights and aren't just another "gee whiz wow" reacter you will go far :) Sometimes it will feel like you're repeating yourself, and you might be, but remember that MOST of the viewers follow the bands rather than the reacter so it's really not that big of a drawback. Good luck with your channel! Thank you for doing a video on BAND-MAID!

    Nice reaction. You stated: "I'm so confused right now". Their goal is what you see is not what you get. The Maids surround Akane (the worlds happiest drummer) on the drums to mess with her but she NEVER misses a beat. There's plenty more where that came from. For Akane's longest drum solo on video checkout FREEDOM-LIVE. Also checkout these 3: FROM NOW ON (instrumental), HATE-LIVE and DON'T YOU TELL ME-LIVE. Peace. 6.38

And the fans return that energy and quite frankly Love. Every note Is nfused with Love! The most powerful force in the universe.

    You don't have to believe me, but they are the best hard rock band in the world right now.
    You now have a chance to see a historic band.
    Please continue.
    Please listen to not only the drummer AKANE but also all the members.
    Also, their studio songs are great, but they really shine when they perform live.

    @Davey-Boyd 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +48

    Welcome to Band-Maid! The best hard rock band I have heard in my 58 years on this planet. They don't stick to any one genre and often mix genres in songs. They are extremely diverse and have an extensive back catalogue featuring Punk, Pop-Punk, Hard-Rock, Classic Rock, Metal, Prog, Blues, Jazz, Groove, Rap etc. From face melting 220 bpm punk-prog to ballads, instrumentals to acoustics they do it all. They are also five of the nicest people in music, without a shred of ego. They are funny and fun and bad-ass musicians to boot. They are currently into their 11th year with the original line up.
    Btw, Miku the rhythm guitarist (red rose) formed the band. She had the idea of Band-Maid after working as a maid in Japanese maid cafe's. The idea is a concept called "The Gap" - that is what you see (cute maids) is NOT what you get (Hard Rock/Punk/Metal). They take the maid café concept literally. They call their concerts "servings" and their fans "Masters and Princesses". Oh, and Miku is an 810 year old small pigeon. Welcome to the pigeon hole Po!

    What you hear at the beginning is the ending of their song Play. The Ladies finished Play (Of which there is an official live video from this same concert on their channel) then walked back to the pedal boards to reset for Domination. Total time between the 2 songs 6 seconds. That is how tight these Ladies are. They only needed 6 seconds to set up, not just their pedal boards, but to stay in time with their backing track.
    How the Ladies normally perform live is that they will get counted in by Akane, the drummer, then launch into 3-6 songs depending on how they have set their setlist. But after they play that first section, they will take a brief pause, interact with the audience (MC time) while the next set of 3-6 songs is setup. Including the click and the backing track. After the next set of songs, they will once again have a brief MC time while they wash-rinse-repeat. As their show progresses, they will include a longer MC time after the halfway point, to allow the Ladies to get offstage, to refresh themselves, while Miku the band founder/rhythm guitarist and second lead vocalist will have what is called Omajinai Time, where she interreacts with the audience using call and response, then as the other instrumentalists come back out, they will perform 1-2 songs with Miku on Lead vocals plus 1-2 instrumental songs. Then Saiki the Main lead vocalist comes out and they kick off the next 3-6 songs, wash-rinse-repeat.
    The Ladies concerts called Okyuji's or servings, will have a setlist of anywhere from 18-25 songs normally. It depends on the Main Lead vocalist, Saiki's, voice, and how strong she is. They almost never perform encores, but they have done a few in the past when Saiki felt her voice was up to it.
    Last November as the tour finale of their 10 year anniversary tour, they performed 33 songs in an over 3.5 hour performance that was also streamed live world wide. I stayed up until 5 am to watch it myself and I loved every moment of it.
    I'll leave this first part of an information file about the Ladies here, then add more context after.
    Band Maid Is; (In order of joining band)
    Name/Age: Nickname: Position:
    Miku Kobato Small Pigeon/ Band Founder, Secondary Lead Vocalist, Rhythm Guitarist, Main Lyricist,
    Age: 32 Koba/Kuruppo/ Backing Vocals, Backing Tracks, Arrangements
    10/21/91 Cluppo
    Kanami Tono Princess/ Lead Guitarist, Primary Composer, Backing Vocals, Keyboards, Backing Tracks
    Age: 32 Kanamincho/ Backing Vocals on Backing Tracks, Arrangements
    9/28/91 Mincho
    Akane Hirose Gorilla/ Drums, Percussion, Backing Vocals on Backing Tracks, Backing Tracks,
    Age: 33 Ah-Chan Arrangements
    12/14/90
    MISA Barefoot Assassin/ 5 String Bass Guitar, Backing Vocals on Backing Tracks, Backing Tracks
    Age: 31 MISA-MISA-MISA Arrangements
    10/15/92
    Saiki Atsumi Ice Queen/ Primary Lead Vocalist, Backing Vocals, Lyricist, Backing Vocals on Backing
    Age: 30 Sai-Chan/ Tracks, Backing tracks, Arrangements
    2/8/94 Sensei (Teacher)
    Now for more context. Band-Maid is probably one of, if not THE Best Live bands currently touring. From their sound to their full performance, they LIVE for their live performances. The smiles on their faces are real, and they enjoy performing for their "Masters and Princesses" as they call their fans.
    And many other drummers have problems trying to copy Akane's drum patterns. Especially her double pedal patterns.
    And this live version is just ONE of the Alternate Versions of Domination. There are 2 other versions, the original without the extended breakdown/bridge section, and the one also without the extended section but an extended guitar intro. These Ladies CONSTANTLY rework their songs for live performances, to give their fans a better performance. And Domination isn't the only song with an alternate version. Play, the song which preceded Domination at this concert has 3 alternates, Freedom has 2 alternates, Anemone has 4 alternates including an acoustic, Puzzle has 2 alternates including an acoustic, and the list goes on.
    Including all the alternate versions, the Ladies have a discography of almost 200 songs. Not including alternate versions, their discography is still over 130+ songs. So don't be surprised if you get a request for a song you may have already reacted to, but the request is a specific alternate version you HAVEN'T reacted to. Then be prepared to get your mind blown.

    5:35 - It's called "Hengao" ("Funny face" in Japanese).They're trying to get the drummer, Akane ("Ah-Kah-Nay"), to mess up but she's just too good. If you want to see Akane kick moar ass, check out Freedom (2020 live) as well as these others:

    Great react! Akane is my favorite drummer and was even the inspiration for me to get off my butt and finally buy a kit and start learning properly. In 2016 Jimmy Page just happened to see a Band-Maid concert and insisted on going backstage and meeting the drummer. He told her she was the reincarnation of John Bonham. Check out Freedom (live) next for sure. Also the confusion is normal and Miku, the band founder who had the idea while working in a maid cafe, calls it "the gap". Your brain is supposed to not let these two things mix but they do.

    Great reaction. Welcome to Band-Maid and their awesome music. Your initial impression is an almost universal one where there is first confusion followed by the customary wow factor. The Maids call this the "Gap" reaction where what you see is not what you get, it is intentional, and they always find this humorous in a good way. All the members are elite musicians as you can see and have all been together for 10 years recording over 120 great original songs.They have had their music in several Anime productions and were invited to have a cameo appearance in the Netflix movie "Kate." Band-Maid is exceptionally dynamic live, and they have toured the US, Mexico, Europe and the Far East to sold out shows. Their drummer, Akane Hirose, is a powerhouse whose nickname is "gorilla" for her hard-hitting yet intricate drumming skills. Fun fact, she loves eating bananas for an energy boost during their shows.

    Welcome to the world of Band-Maid. These ladies are gloriously happy, insanely talented, and incredibly tight knit both on and off stage. They are arguably one of the best rock groups around today. Check out their latest video drop, Hate? at Yokohama Arena (official live video). And if you want to see an extended drum solo, Freedom (official live video) is a must. Their catalogue of songs run deep and wide. They typically blend several genres into a song, and will certainly please the most discriminating ears. Looking forward to more Band-Maid reactions in the near future. Cheers!

    Welcome to the wonderful world of Band-Maid. Best overall band I've heard in decades. That noodling at the start is actually the last cord ringing out of the previous song "Play" at this concert. It's also a killer live video and definitely worth checking out. I think you are going to really like this band. Akane's creative and tasteful use of double kicks is always such a treat. Enjoy the ride. I know I have.

    • @mikeholmes5308
      @mikeholmes5308 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Good point on the double-kick drumming. Many metal bands just use it at a steady rate, almost like a pad, which gets boring fast. Akane is constantly switching up the double-kick patterns, or using it as accent. or part of a fill, which is so much more creative and musically satisfying.

    In my seventies and I am absolutely smitten with this band. They are so good. Definitely check out their performance of "Hate?" from the Yokohama Arena that was posted just a few days ago, "Freedom" has a great drum solo, but it is on the video from covid times, made as a gift to their fans, On it are two incredible songs on one video - "Manners" and "Black Hole." Great reaction, not just because you liked the music, but because you had solid reasons and measures in place to evaluate what you heard. So many others don't and just go "yeah I liked it" or "It's Ok" with no real reasons for it. Some even judge them because of the maid thing. There is a reason for the maid outfits, but it is a bit complicated to get into in this space. Anyway, I loved your reaction and thank you for taking the time to listen with us.

    Love it when musicians give insight into the music. You will get many songs recommended, for various reasons. That is because Band Maid has a wide and diverse catalog. Over 120 songs and not a single poor example. Not hyperbole. A good taste of their range is the 2 songs in 1 video of Manners, and Black Hole. Manners, which Band Maid thinks is their core sound, is classic bluesy rock. Black Hole is when they want to get a little crazy.

    Old rock fan here...Band Maid is the band that made me realize I needed to look for female bands from other countries to find what has seemed lacking in rock for so long as far as my ears are concerned, and Domination was their song that hooked me. Japan in particular has so many such bands. If you have not seen them, Lovebites is another band you would probably enjoy. Songs like Holy War, Swan Song (with the Chopin intro), Frozen Serenade... all worth listening to. And then there is my most recent obsession, The Warning, which is a trio of sisters from Mexico. Their drummer Pau recently won Drumeo's rock drummer of the year, so as a drummer yourself, it would be criminal for you to miss them. Their song Evolve from the MTV VMAs is a good place to start with them...

Since you are a drummer, I would highly recommend "Warning" MV (pop punk feel with killer drum fills), the live double "Manners" and "Black Hole" (iconic contrasts in styles), and "The Dragon Cries" (one of their least popular, but has a 60's Hendrix vibe). Enjoy the ride!

  • @TomClark-Futoura
    @TomClark-Futoura 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Welcome, Steelfrodo. You are embarking on (along with many others - over 190 million YT views plus over 40 million reactor plays!) an awesome, progressive, hard-rock journey with 5 incredible women. Here's my intro blurb for those who may be new to Band-Maid:

    BAND-MAID’s songs and sound beat with the heart and soul of all rockers. But you’ll also hear heavy influences of Prog, Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Jazz, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Joy of Playing, Consistency (130+ songs), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destined for mega-stardom.
    Each member's personalities are super interesting and their musicianship among the best. Their writing, arrangements and overall sound, especially guitar tones and drums, are kick-ass! Having seen them LIVE, I can honestly say their performance, sound, stage appearance, and band synergy is off-the-rails spectacular!
    Band-Maid is the only band in decades where I love nearly EVERY song they’ve done. I have over 70 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: th-cam.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/w-d-xo.html Their songs from albums Unleash, Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Shambles, Warning, No God, Different, Black Hole, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Don’t You Tell Me, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Choose Me, I Can’t Live Without You, and on and on.
    But don’t miss out on their powerful, beautifully written, mid-tempo songs like Daydreaming, About Us, Memorable, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, At The Drop Of A Hat, Mirage and Smile... or more punky like After Life, Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like Manners and The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or a bit jazzy like Wonderland… or progressive like No God, Giovanni, and Black Hole… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like From Now On, Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts… or their many acoustic versions like Catharsis and Sayonakidori... and last but not least, their Anime hits (AniMaid) like Sense, Glory and Unleash!!!!! (from their own Anime MV (series?)): th-cam.com/video/7LB_EPS48HE/w-d-xo.html)
    And many songs are represented with over 50 well produced music videos. th-cam.com/users/BANDMAID
    Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYU-JI concerts:
     ONLINE OKYU-JI (Feb. 11, 2021) “No God” th-cam.com/video/nAdWnIRjGak/w-d-xo.html
     Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA (February 14, 2020) “Domination” th-cam.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/w-d-xo.html
     ZEPP 2018 “Real Existence” th-cam.com/video/-qQnKILR5u0/w-d-xo.html
     Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 and other full concerts are on bandmaidprime.tokyo, bili, and official Band-Maid’s DVD/BD/CD.
     “P and D⁴” Photo Collage videos at www.youtube.com/@PinDakaPanic810
    And some of the better quality fan videos are excellent. Here’s two of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at an intimate venue:
     Shot by Pat McKee from their 2023 US tour concert in Detroit: th-cam.com/video/DgxU-MVjta0/w-d-xo.html
     See the Maids 2023 Rockville Festival’s short-set perfection performance: th-cam.com/video/vjZkNeoGmhc/w-d-xo.html
    If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, CD, DVD/BD & Merch, etc. bandmaid.tokyo
    Like most Band-Maid songs, I like them from the get-go but really start to appreciate them after more hearings and seeing their LIVE videos. I'll go back and see an older song like YOLO, Order, Shake That, Freezer, Before Yesterday, Real Existence, Non Fiction Days and Alone, etc. and realize there's no band that can consistently construct and play like Band-Maid.

    Band-Maid Members:
    Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “StarQueen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 30 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away her sometimes perceived, coldish persona. Saiki’s powerhouse performances, charisma, and voice focus the experience that’s driven her to the top echelon of hard rock frontwomen... or frontmen!
    Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 32 years old. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR SpokesPigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. Kuruppo! No, no, no… KURUPPO!!
    Kanami Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 32 years old, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want from Mincho is more!
    Akane Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, 33 years old, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) while revolutionizing rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumZilla” is the Party!
    MISA (Me-Sa) "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass, 31 years old. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin literally kills it… every note... uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA! MISA!
    Maidiacs (Maid-e-acts) - Band-Maid’s crazed yet supportive, knowledgeable and loyal Super Fans.
    [BAND-MAID NEWS]
     BAND-MAID PRIME - Special Video Distribution Website. Along with nearly 50 great play-through’s by each member, concerts and skits, Band-Maid management / label(s) have included the Acoustic Christmas 2021, ZEPP 2018 and Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 concerts! Fans can now see more than 50 great live performances with awesome audio, etc. like Fate, I Can't Live Without You and the great MISA / Kanami exchange in Don't You Tell Me. Those concerts are two of the best produced & performed concerts ever recorded, IMO. bandmaidprime.tokyo
     The Maids SOLD OUT 2023 US & Mexico tour wrapped up and was a fantastic success. And so many great live fancams to watch! Their playing and antics were as fresh and fun to experience from first show to last. BRAVO Band-Maid!!!!! In addition, their Japan tour finished up with 13 concerts, AND they’re writing and recording for their new album. Their 10th Anniversary Tour concluded at Japan’s 17,000 seat Yokohama Arena on Nov. 26, 2023 and in Hong Kong Dec. 21! And their latest 10TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR SPIN OFF concert at KT ZEPP YOKOHAMA on February 22, 2024, where they played songs not performed at the 10th anniversary tour final at Yokohama Arena, was SOLD OUT!
    The Maids are one of the hardest working super 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!

    Since you're a drummer you should do their only song with a full drum solo, 'Freedom' LIVE. She's like Ringo. She just doesn't do a lot of solos. They're all virtuoso players, with the exception of Miku who had never played guitar when the band started, but after 10 years she's very good indeed. But I would put Akane against any drummer in the world. Her patterns and fills are so creative, and they never repeat, unless it's to set up an expectation that she's going to break on the third go around. You can watch other drummers channels where they are just gobsmacked by her playing. She and bassist MISA met before BAND-MAID at the Tokyo School Of Music, so they make an amazingly psychic Rhythm Section. She will often say to composer and lead guitarist, Kanami about the drum parts on the demos, "This drum part cannot be played by a human being". But she always pulls a rabbit out of her tiny hat and play something that works. The reason they gather around her and make faces at her during the hard part to see if they can make her laugh and f*ck up. Not a chance! And this is just scratching the s surface. They have so many different kinds of songs, they're like a Genre Jukebox.

  • @GlennWH26

    Okay, names, pronunciation, nicknames, and roles, in order that they joined the band.
    Miku Kobato - mee-koo - Kuruppo, the Little Pigeon, the Little Engine Who Will - band founder, backing (and occasionally lead) vocals, rhythm guitar, principal lyricist, tireless Spokespigeon and PR machine. Wielder of weapons grade cuteness. Poker shark and horse racing fanatic. So determined to see her band succeed that she fired herself as lead singer (she decided her voice wasn't strong enough for hard rock), then went looking for a replacement. Learned to play guitar after the band was formed. Definitely eccentric, possibly insane.
    Kanami Tono - kah-nah-mee - Kanamincho or just Mincho - lead guitar, keyboards, principal composer and arranger. On stage, she's a savant mad riffer with a room temperature IQ and a huge crush on Saiki. In reality, she's a genius, and not just musically- she has a degree in economics with honors. A sweet, motherly woman who turns into a beast when you hand her a guitar.
    Akane Hirose - ah-kah-neh - A-chan, the Gorilla - drums, sequencing, snacks, the leader the band doesn't have. What you see is what you get- a cheerful jock with a huge appetite who burns off the calories murdering her drums. Completely unflappable. Frequently snacks between songs. Has been known to sign her banana peels and throw them to the audience.
    MISA - mee-sah - the Barefoot Assassin, MISA MISA MISA! - bass, booze, occasional wet work. Usually stone faced. Barely acknowledges the audience's existence. Always has a beer or a bottle of Jim Beam on her Orange amp. Originally, these were ways of coping with stage fright. These days, that's just how the assassin rolls.
    Saiki Atsumi - sah-ee-kee (but Psyche is close enough) - the Ice Queen, Sensei, Sai-chan - lead vocals, some lyrics, the "We're done" girl. Fashionista and train nerd. Regards her band mates, especially Kanami and Miku, with bemused exasperation. In total command on stage; hides behind Miku off stage (she's actually kind of shy).

    As you seen, don't let the costumes and language barrier fool you, these guys are the real deal.
    "You can cheat in the studio" - couldn't agree more but whatever these guys lay down in the studio, they take to the stage.

    What you are experiencing the "Gap" which is purposefully done by the band and the concept originating with the rhythm guitarist and founder. They are top notch musicians and like many Japanese groups they can can blend styles and genres seemingly at will. They are my favorite (and at times only) band on my playlist these days. Band Maid, a lot to love in the music and they are a great group of individuals as well.
    The first two albums were more "pop" due to the label having creative control over writing, etc. the later albums show an amazing progression. This performance is more of the mid-journey of Band Maid. The studio recording are excellent in themselves but they are definitely a live band that should not be missed! Band Maid forever!!!!!

    Thank you for a fun reaction
    As a drummer, you’re going to get “Freedom” recommended because it has a brief drum solo. However, Akane’s most creative drumming is in many different songs.
    She doesn’t like to repeat her fills. She plays a ton of notes, really fast, very accurately, on a standard kit. And she smiles nonstop while she does it.
    Songs from the Maids for musicians and studio nerds:
    “Without Holding Back,” “From Now On,” “Onset,” all instrumental tracks. “Onset” has a nice live version.
    Songs I recommend to drummers?
    1) “Warning!”
    2) “DICE”
    3) “Shambles”

    That was fun. Thanks for the reaction. Akane (drummer) really is a monster. They do a good job recording her on stage but the mix from her kit in the studio is even better (duh). Check out the recent studio MVs for From Now On and Shambles. Both really highlight her play.

    And a thing about the maid outfits, Frodo: as Fans and Maidiacs know, Miku -- the 2nd guitarist, lyricist, founder and who worked at a maid cafe -- wanted to show that everyday working "Kawaii" girls dressed as maids in high heels while having fun and smiling could rock as hard as any guy band sweating it up in their hip, poor tortured artists "outfits"... and by showing that contrast (the Gap), it would generate interest, which it so successfully has done! It also represents Woman Power (Equality), which is an important theme with the Maids.
    Now they show up as Maids for all band business and interviews, etc. and have created a long-lasting, unmistakable, visual band brand. Very cleaver, Miku. Your diabolical plan for world domination is working, Po! Of course, none of this would work if their music and stage performance wasn't at such a remarkably high level. Band-Maid is considered by many of their fans and Maidiacs to be the best hard rock band in the world - maid outfits and all!

    It's always again nice to see when someone is already full of praise before the actually 'interesting' part of the song. 🤭 But believe me, this is nothing yet! For many, these 5 ladies are quite rightly at the very top of the food chain when it comes to the best hard-rock of our time. And yes, we are talking about 5 young ladies in maid costumes. 😂
    Greetings from Germany and welcome to the 'pigeon-hole' of Band-Maid po! :)

    I’m sure many have recommended you check out the song “freedom live “ I agree with them completely. Band- Maid reactions should always be live. They prove over and over, that you don’t need to reinvent the wheel something simple played to perfection can sound absolutely amazing.

    Me as a bass player, Akane (Ah-Ka-nay, Dr, Banana eating Gorilla) is my favorite. She is alway selfless in her composition, especially keeping the pocket. This frees up Misa (Bass) to do lead, against Kanami's (Lead G, main composer) lead. Miku (2nd V, Rhythm G, main lyricist) compliments Akane's foundational inputs, Po! That puts Saiki (lead V, 2nd lyricist) to put the icing on the cake. There are 2 other official MVs that highlights Akane's drums, "Freedom" and her solo into "Blackhole" from the Yokohama Arena 10th Anniversary show (this segment is on their up-coming Bluray/DVD release, but someone out on the interweb has the clip). Like everyone, do their live MVs, most recently Unleash, Don't you tell ME, and Hate?, all from the Yokohama show, Po! Enjoyed your drummers analysis, Po! 🦍🍌PS, the best Band Maid concert opener has to be the 2020 Line Cube Shibuya show, where Akane opens the show with a drum "solo" that leads into the 1st song "Rinne" (Find the hard to find clip, you won't regret it).

    Akane wears maid themed shorts behind her kit once the band got going good.

    One piece of context that this video didn't provide: this was song number TWENTY-TWO in their set this evening. They had already been playing for about 2 hours before this song.

    You need to react to Freedom by Band Maid Live version for a real fun solo. Akane, the drummer, is quite often quite serious but behind those drums she's a smiley face demon, never seen a drummer smile so much.
