"Everybody look", said Miku, in the most deadpan, sarcastic manner possible. 😶
MISA is a beast! Kanami & Akane are both amazing too. Really every member is great in their own way as well
There is fan cam from their recent US tour of this song, that's all I know of. The young Lady, red rose / rhythm guitarist writes most of the lyrics, her name is Miku, she is also the founder of the band !! ❤️🎙🎸🥁😎🤘Try, " From Now On. "
There are no superlatives left in any language to adequately describe this band, I've never been so happy as to have my face rock and roll smashed at the same time as my heart melts into a pile of goo, Viva the Maids peace and love Po 👍🎼🥁🎤🎸🍻
It's been Hunky Dory Days for USA fans, that's for sure! A live Band-Maid experience is not to be missed, if at all possible! Thx, John!
Hah! Yeah, Band-Maid makes music for music geeks. It's absolutely alright to geek out to Band-Maid in your reaction that's what we like to hear!
This song has quickly climbed into my top tiers of Band-Maid songs and that's a really tough list to climb. I got to see this song live in LA, Dallas, Houston, and Chicago last month.
It slaps way harder live, especially when MISA hits her solos and takes center stage..... and then there's Saiki's and Miku's glorious vocals above it all.
There's lots of fan cams out there from the recent US tour but no official concert videos for this, yet.
Influencer was amazing live, the highlight was the bass solo live. The way Neptune theater carried their sound ...chef's kiss.. another thing that's special about their live performances is that every once in awhile they go off the map and go into an opening solo with a song that wasn't present in the studio album or a solo mid song. After watching the performance at Tokyo Garden Theater which was just recently released physically they did that a few times and when they did an opening solo to a song you didn't know what song was coming up
I love Miku. All she had going for her was that she was cute, she could carry a tune, and she knew a few people in the industry. Everything else, including her guitar skills and lyrical chops, she developed AFTER forming Band-Maid.
She’s very intelligent and has incredible drive and resilience.
The most amazing pigeon you've ever met.
I have heard from a very reliable source that pigeons will save the world.
At first she knew nobody in the industry - she was a provincial girl who has moved to Tokyo at 18 (like so many!) to get singing lessons while working (often two or three jobs at the same time) to pay for it. She's the perfect self-made woman.

And she had a less than happy childhood.
Abandoned by her father at a young age and growing up poor.
FOCUS ON BUZZ!
MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! the Barefoot Bass Assassin , Miku Rhythm guitar writes the lyrics .
Kanami the lead guitar was featured in Guitar World along with other great guitar players.
Which issue is it? Is it the one from 2020?
@@lurkmerchant I watched Gaijin Guys and Ryan Mears one of the hosts mentioned it. Not sure which issue he was talking about.
@@kennogawa6638 I've watched the video but couldn't find any recent guitar world article featuring Kanami, except for the one from 2020.
@@lurkmerchant You should ask Ryan Mears which article he is referring to.

From cosmic collaborations to blistering, chug-powered breakdowns: here are this week's essential guitar tracks
Everybody look!!!
This song is so good. It is has lots of surprises.
MISA MISA MISA!!!!! nerd out all ya like We are here for it.
BAND-MAID'S ability to cram so much AWESOMENESS, both musically and visually, into such a short amount of time is AMAZING!!
I did see it performed live twice, at Aftershock and in SF. They were AWESOME, my recording not so much.🤘☹️🤘
Thanks again!🤘🤩🤘
Miku's deadpan "Everybody look." at the end of the first chorus makes me laugh every time.
I know you enjoyed the lyrics to this one. Yes, just a bit sarcastic I would say. Pretty genius for Miku, whose Japanese, to intersperse English and make it sound perfectly sane. Now check out their latest instrumental FROM NOW ON, then back that up with a previous Live instrumental ONSET-LIVE. You may not listen to another Rock band after that. Both Awesome and awesomely inspiring are BAND-MAID. Just keep listening and watching and throw out all the rules. Peace. 34.4
Much more than a bit! 😄
Maids kick ass po!!!!!
Location is a decommissioned granite quarry in the Ishikiri Mountains, Ibaraki from 1909 era that produces the "Inada" stone or "white lady" stone because of its white luster, strong and durable, like Band Maid, Po! Also, Japanese origin - "Honcho-dori" was the "Main Street" in Yokohama (same area Band Maid had their 2021 Christmas concert). Story say the American sailors, during the late 1800, were directed to follow this road back to the ship. Therefore, "easy street" to get back to the ship after liberty. Most likely pronounced by the sailors as "Hunky Dory." Btw, the lyrics, its on point about the influencing culture, Po! 🦍 Vladamir Chupin's YT Channel has a lot of Fancam vids from their recent US tour, and the quality is great, both audio and HD vids. Sadly, there are no official live MV for "Influencer," but we are anticipating a Christmas gift of some sort, perhaps, a BTS documentary of their recent US tour (since they have been posting a lot of pics in civilian settings on their individual IG accounts)? That would be great, Po! Great reaction!🍌
Enjoyed the reaction man, I will look forward to you catching their new instrumental called "From now on" that just dropped recently.
Many complain about the 'over production' on some of their studio mixes. My main complaint in that area is the vocal effects they put on Saiki's voice. Listening to her sing live shows that she doesn't need any help at all. Though most do tend to fit what the song is going for. So, it doesn't bother me enough to dismiss a song because of that fact. I still prefer them live but they always sound good no matter what the engineers do to them after the fact.
As far as I know they have no official live version of this but there are some fan cams out there with them doing this live. I tend to stick to watching their interaction with the crowd with the fan cams as they are very entertaining when they play with the crowd and the fan cam sound isn't normally that great.
Thanks for this reaction. Great song. Saiki rapping is something I didn't know I needed. She can do anything she likes it seems. And Miku's scream is awesome. She's also the main lyricist so give her the props she deserves. Miku is the heart of Band-Maid.
Arigatou, po!
I'm partial to this one from the Chicago show since that's the one I was able to go see. Looks like Influencer starts at 1:01:45 and there's a pinned comment at the top with a list of all the songs and times. Enjoy!

If you really want to some crazy bass playing from Misa watch NO GOD live. You won't regret it.
I think the quarry is the best MV location since the old factory in Singapore for the 'Daydreaming' video.
Finally a reactor who didn't ruin MISA's solo. Most People tend to pause right after Saiki's rapping. Keep these Band-Maidvideos coming.
Great job John!. Thank you.
Try Manners/Blackhole Official Live Video if you want a twofer that really shows there range.
Lots of fan cam footage which would include Influencer in their video. This one from the LA concert is one I like. The TH-camr has sectioned it by song. The link below goes to the start of Influencer. th-cam.com/video/jabuhmrn3zA/w-d-xo.html
Thanks again from Japan 有難う 💛。 This song was played in 11 shows during their US tour (13 concerts + 1 festival). Edward Allen gave you a link to the live performance in LA. This MV was filmed at a famous and old stone quarry (Ishikiri-Sanmyaku) located in Ibaraki prefecture, north of Tokyo. Kanami, the lead guitarist, was very scared when she stood near the brink of the cliff but she could defy the fear once cameras started to capture her playing scene. [source : Gekirock News]. Saiki is singing "Hunky Dory" repeatedly. It sounds to me, an aged Japanese, a kind of word play or pun. This phrase is very close to Japanese expression "Honki (本気) Dori (or Tori 撮り)" that means 「本気」= serious, earnest, sincere" and 「撮り」= filming, recording, image capturing". This is cynically suitable 😄 to what influencers do, isn't it? In the rap part Saiki is also singing "Always that one-upping contest, chit-chat chit-chat". "Chit-chat" sounds like "chicchai ちっちゃい" in Japanese. That means "tiny, trivial, frivolous, worthless etc." Miku's lyrics includes a lot of word play and Miku admitted she did it on purpose in an interview [source : Spice Oct.7]. "Influencer" was premiered (live debut) on Sep.7 at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo in Band-Maid's pre-US concert. Just so you know, I witnessed it at the venue ヽ(^o^)丿.
I'm not sure if the "hunky dory" phrase was meant to be derivative of something from Japanese, or if it's entirely meant to be one of the several English phrasings in the song. In English "hunky dory" is a common phrase that means "everything is okay." Same with "chit chat" - it may be a derivation of something from Japanese, or it may actually be the English words "chit chat," which means to make small talk or to speak without really saying anything important.
@@garykeeling2275 Except the English usage is usually meant sarcastically. Like during WWI, a soldier in a trench comes up to his comrade, and with bombs exploding everywhere, he says, "How's it going?" And the soldier replies, "Oh, everything is just Hunky Dory!"
@@TomClark-Futoura True, and it could be meant in a sarcastic manner here. The whole song has a bit of a critical and sarcastic tone to it. Influencers often thrive on controversy and negativity, so it could be meant as a sarcastic commentary on that.
I like this fan cam from the Houston show. Up close and you can see exactly what Kanami is doing. I will say the fan cams don't fully capture just how loud and heavy they are in person but still a good fan cam of the performance

Great analysis and reaction. We Maidiacs are right there with you!
Awesome reaction thanks man. Especially liked the comments about the singing.
Yes.....
Your comments on the lyrics are spot on. I personally went out of my way to look up translations to the songs because I was curious and a majority of their songs are full of uplifting, positive, empowering, emotional, lovely lyrics. They touch you in more ways than one
They do have a couple of songs that could be deemed "sexual" but those songs are very tame compared to American songs on the same subject. Personally I give their lyrics 8/12 out of ten!
Of course it’s sarcastic.
Lots of videos of their US tour are online. Some of the best are from Vladimir Chupin.
a Japanese metal band that i think you will like is The Gazette. for a song i'll recommend the GazettE - 千鶴 [eng sub] LIVE HD. the song is called Chizuru = A Thousand Cranes.
Plenty of fancams of this from their recent US tour, here's one th-cam.com/video/Tu0i3uwAtvI/w-d-xo.html
Nice! I like this performance in LA.
Each fancam has its pros and cons. That LA one is great in that you can hear Kanami better. This one from Philly has the best "you're at the show" feel for this song IMO: th-cam.com/video/97sxEJ_hVfg/w-d-xo.html
@@stevehall5128after watching both I concur about the philly show it gives a good since of the bands personality plus Vlad's videos are always good quality... how spoiled are we? we have multiple fan cams from different shows and multiple angles.
th-cam.com/video/97sxEJ_hVfg/w-d-xo.html This was from Philly. They didn't perform this at the show I went too, And there is another one out that has a little better soundd quality, but what makes this one so good, Misa and Kanami both get center stage!
😁
New sub right here! Cool honest reaction! I saw someone else recommend Nemophila, I will second that. The all female Japanese band rabbit hole is going to be fun to go down, and with no ending in sight!
👍👍👍👍👍
nice to meet you. I would be happy if you could watch the Japanese boy band BE:FIRST's "Milli-Billi" special performance. They express HIPHOP infused into their bodies. Very very very cool and crazy! It is a video that betrays your expectations in a good way. And I would love to see your reaction to this video.
This song is about social media addiction and narcissism.
Do a reaction on Dimash Qudiabergen latest song the story of one sky, he has an amazing voice , he's from Kazakhstan. In all his songs he flexes his beautiful voice.
React to illa illa by b.i
React yo onedari daisakusen by babymetal pls
So you have done Band Maid and Lovebites, but you haven't done Nemophila, another all female Japanese metal band. Nemophila blew away the crowd at Aftershock 2022, for a band that formed in 2019 and unknown outside of Japan, they were just too good. Nemophila, like Lovebites, traces its origins, at least in part, to the band Destrose (pioneering Japanese all female metal band, long story, so many members, so many bands formed from the ashes).
