    Band-Maid's primary genre is Hardrock, but they like to mix genres like metal, punk, pop, blues, jazz, and classic rock. The next step should be a live performance, and here are some choices.

    Something progressive new and nostalgic at the same time.They're an eclectic mix of metal/prog-rock/blues/punk/pop/jazz/funk etc, but always with that hard rock base! In most of their songs they change it up slightly in the verse and pre-chorus rather than a straight repeat, keeping it fresh.

    "Yeah"."Yeah yeah yeah". Indeed. The newer videos on their YT page have English captions. Their lyrics often contain English words and phrases. If you want a more mellow song from them, you could try "Daydreaming". Kanami (lead guitarist) always does tasteful, interesting (and very cool) solos. Band-Maid has many devoted fans!

    BAND-MAID is a phenomenal hard rock band. These ladies has been rocking since 2013. They draw a lot of influence from great rocks groups of the past. Unlike Lovebites, they are not stuck in one genre, they can rock it hard but can also do ballad and anything in between. Furthermore, they are not afraid to fuse other genre such as jazz, blues, punk, etc. They are very versatile. Dice is just one of the many great songs from them. I highly suggest you explore their 100+ discography. If you like this, I guarantee you both won't be disappointed in the rest. Also, make sure you watch there live performances such as "Domination", "Play', "onset", and many more. Great reaction gentlemen and looking forward to more B-M in the future.

    A song that contains quite a lot, and yet shows so little of what these ladies are capable of... But I have to be honest, that one song alone is not enough to show that. These ladies are really versatile with their music and like to unite the most different genres under the rock hat. And at this point I get into a bit of a predicament. Normally I would also recommend a live performance like 'Freedom' at this point, but for a British channel the MV to 'Bubble' almost suggests itself. I'm sure you'll understand why. :)
    And with that, also from Germany, welcome to the wonderful world called 'Band-Maid', where 5 young ladies in maid costumes with enormous talent are turning the rock world upside down. :)

    Thanks to BAND MAID for reaction, they started out in the 70's and 80's hard rock and are now moving towards hard rock with complex, high-speed progressive, even jazz elements, catchy rhythms and melodies. They are constantly improving their playing ability and trying to create new things. Some songs are difficult to understand at one time, but they become more attractive as you listen to them several times. See also Different,Warning!, Manners and Giovanni.

    Congrats on discovering the greatest rock-band of the century. I'm not kidding: with more than 100 songs in their catalog, at least half is in a masterpiece category, the rest is ranking from good to great. Don't waste your time on classification of their genre. They do everything from pop-rock to prog-rock with metal, jazz, funk, punk in the middle, but mostly staying in the hard-rock territory. Band-Maid is in genre of their own.
    Kanami Tono, a.k.a. Kanamincho or Mincho, is a composer/songwriter/lead guitarist and a prodigy - she plays/study music since 3 y.o..
    Misa is a bass-guitar monster shredder, a.k.a. The Barefoot Assassin, plays guitar since 5 y.o..
    Akane Hirose is a drum monster shredder (220 bpm), a.k.a. Gorilla, multi-instrumentalist graduated from Tokyo Music School together with Misa.
    Miku Kobato is the band founder/main lyricist/rhythm guitar/vocalist/spellbinder, former idol and a waitress from Tokyo's maid cafe, a.k.a. 800+ y.o. Small Pigeon.
    Saiki Atsumi is a lead vocalist/lyricist/crowd dominator, a.k.a. The Ice Queen, the last word in the band belongs to her.
    Band-Maid ladies are hellbent on the World domination, and they just started. I can predict that in 100 years history books will tell something like: "Boris Johnson - some insignificant politician in the era of Band-Maid."

    • @Parker--
      @Parker-- ปีที่แล้ว

      Absolutely agree. This century might be short, but there's less than 80 years for another band it come in and take their throne and I don't think that's enough time.😉And anybody that can make a heavy, and distinctly progressive pop-punk song this good, a paradox in itself, and then also make a Latin fusion song (Matador) and a early 90's thrash metal song (Rinne) is too much to put in any single genre. Their diversity rivals bands like Queen or the Beatles more than any of their contemporaries. They are what all the genres of rock music should have evolved into in the late 00's instead of the empty, minimalist computer generated "instrumentation" of modern music.

    I think you'll enjoy more Band-Maid! I wouldn't worry too much about searching your music memory banks for analogies at this point cuz it'll just get harder as time goes on. Even though they roughly stay in a hard rock lane, their musical direction will take you on many creative detours: layered jazzy stuff like Wonderland and Catharsis; gorgeous ballads like Anemone and Daydreaming; mind-bending trips like Giovanni and Black Hole; and phenomenal hard rock like Domination, YOLO, and Blooming. Of the rock bands playing today, they have one of the best (IMO *the* best) songwriting units, spearheaded by the lead guitarist, Kanami Tono.

    Good reaction! I'm an old dude who hasn't been this excited about a rock band since GnR. They do have a way of bringing back a nostalgic feel and I think it is because the core of their sound is bluesy riffs. Definitely think you should check out a live performance from their channel to get a better feel for them as a band. Real Existence, Domination, Play and Freedom are all great, high energy live performances.

    Having lost interest in the American music scene some time ago I really had given up hope of ever hearing music again that could "thrill" me. Then about a year and a half ago Band Maid hit me like a ton of bricks. Hard Rock had been resurrected by five young (incredibly talented) Japanese ladies. I have been in rock heaven ever since. I guarantee that the more you listen the more you will fall in love with them. Try a new video next just to see how much they have matured. Manners, Warning or Thrill live. Also Domination live last year would be a good next step.

    Leave it to Dice to provoke 2 guys visibly going thru all the stages of becoming a Band Maid fan during the course of a single video!🤣💪🏻🤘🏻 The outfits weren’t just an arbitrary management company idea, by the way. This band was formed member by member by the rhythm guitarist/vocalist, Miku Kobato after waitressing about 3 years in maid cafes in her hometown and Tokyo. She started learning guitar from her own lead guitarist, Kanami Tono, about 3 months after starting the band! So she’s literally learned onstage in front of everyone. Us long time fans have had the pure pleasure of watching and hearing her learn and improve album by album over the last 7 years or so. And she’s now brilliant on her Zemaitis guitars.💪🏻🤘🏻

      Especially about the Zemaitis guitars, not a maker that I am familiar with, but just did a quick lookup and found that they are now Tokyo owned, but created by a British Luthier Tony Zemaitis. They made 12 strings for the likes of Clapton and Hendrix, they could knock out a few chords between them and also the likes of Joe Perry and even Mike Oldfield.
      Very interesting, The brand's slogan "Art with Strings", perfect.
      Today I learnt something, thanks for that.

    *Play* taken from a 2018 concert was the first Band Maid Song I heard - and my faith in Rock was instantly renewed. Although their earlier songs were written by the studio, ever since *ALONE* the band have written their own. Kanami is a Riff genius and Miku a lyricist poet. I'd like to recommend a song but there are so many to choose from and none to avoid so I wouldn't know where to start. Also look up Band Maiko - which started out as an April Fools joke in 2018 for their followers - and look up Cluppo a recent project of Miku - Rhythm Guitar and Singer which also came out on April 1st - 2021.

    Welcome aboard, Brit Pops React. You are embarking on (along with many others - 110 million YT views!) an awesome 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 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, Consistency (115 songs with their latest album, “Unseen World”), 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 later songs from albums Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, and Just Bring It drive even more - Warning, No God, H-G-K, Black Hole, Different, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Glory, 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, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, 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 cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts! And many are represented with over 35 well produced music videos. th-cam.com/users/BANDMAID
    Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYU-JI concerts. Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA on February 14th (“Domination” th-cam.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/w-d-xo.html), ZEPP 2018, Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 and some of the better 2019 tour Fan vids are excellent. Here’s four of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at super intimate venues. These two taken by Vladimir Chupin in Hamburg: th-cam.com/video/__1th7ctgMo/w-d-xo.html, and a fun, wonderful live performance in Amsterdam of Miku introducing "Don't You Tell Me" (with MISA & Kanami's great instrumental exchange) and "Turn Me On” (with MISA's solo intro): th-cam.com/video/kfYQoWBlSpk/w-d-xo.html. The next one was taken by JT Dayo in LA: th-cam.com/video/4uIYBkAybCI/w-d-xo.html, and finally by JOSER8845 in LA: th-cam.com/video/usWZvlGGDSs/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. For fun, check out an awesome, little known "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009
    Band-Maid members are:
    Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 27 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, 29 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, 29 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, 30 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, 28 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!

    As always Kanami (lead guitar) writes the basic music, sending it to Akane (drums) and MISA (bass) via the internet. They create their bass and drum lines, which stay pretty much the same through the process. Kanami works with Miku for the rhythm guitar lines. Miku (and now with Saiki) writes the lyrics after the music is complete. All of this is from a number of interviews by them as a group and individually. It's finished in the studio with Saiki having the "We're Done" call.
    They have been touring the UK since 2015/16 plus Europe.
    No matter how good you think you play a musical instrument, there is a Japanese lady who plays it better. (stolen/paraphrased).
    2 suggestions, "Domination" live Band Maid and "Dissension" by Nemophila a new band considered a super group as all are from other bands.

    They have more going on the more you listen to the same song. Many layers. I have heard this song probably 40 times since I found Band-Maid in Feb 2020 and heard new gems on this reaction. I can see you two were listening intently and you are going to love these ladies. Thanks for the positive reaction. It's hard to pin them down to one genre as you will find out.

    I love this song because for as heavy and intricate the bass and guitar is during the verses, the song is an early 00's pop-punk song at its heart. The chorus and bridge are something you'd hear in 2001 but the song is heavier and more nuanced than anything you would have ever heard at that time, especially for a genre and time where instrumentation was typically very straight forward and simple. As someone who loves pop-punk, this song also proves pop-punk doesn't have to be simple to be fun. As long as you keep the energy and spirit of the genre, you can create something far more than expected or what appears at the surface level.

    Everyone is writing various things, and A little supplement.
    This is the history of BAND-MAID that I have roughly summarized.
    BAND-MAID was formed around spring to summer 2013.
    October / 2013 Hand-painted leaflet by drummer Akane, Band members were handing out the leaflets in Harajuku.
    They write "talented rock maid band".
    band-maid.up.seesaa.net/image/201320E6898BE4BD9CE3828AE38381E383A9E382B7_R-thumbnail2.jpg
    "Maid in Japan" Released January 8, 2014
    Single "愛と情熱のマタドール" Released August 13, 2014
    track 2 "Thrill" track3 "Summer Drive"
    youtube "Ai to Jounetsu no Matador"
    And, as they sought the direction of the band, they chose a harder rock direction, and for that reason, the first MV was shot instead of the single "愛と情熱のマタドール" , "Thrill" was selected.
    The MV for "Thrill" was officially uploaded in November 2014.
    th-cam.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo
    However, the band is sluggish.
    From "Engadget Fes 2014 Winter" on November 24, 2014.
    This is a video of BAND-MAID during the slump, performing an acoustic live (unavoidably) in a small event space instead of a live house. Miku says, "Please remember just the name."
    Still, you can see how high everyone's playing skills are.
    th-cam.com/video/6AhzOrnLMWs/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo
    2015, spring to summer
    Kanami and Akane participate in "もちとちーず".
    Perhaps they are valued for their musical talent by their agency and asked to participate in "もちとちーず".
    And KANAMI and AKANE temporarily belonged to both of those two bands.
    Kanami is also composing there.
    th-cam.com/video/WyWiYPE8qUY/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=%E3%82%82%E3%81%A1%E3%81%A8%E3%81%A1%E3%83%BC%E3%81%9A

    Suddenly, "THRILL" was a hit on the internet in April 2015, and the band has been energetically performing live throughout 2015, but without that "THRILL" hit,Kanami and Akane went to "もちとちーず" and BAND-MAID may have disappeared.
    However, BAND-MAID held up.
    And
    "New Beginning" Released November 18, 2015
    It also includes "Thrill" "Real Existence" and "Don’t let me down", the official MV for. However, at this time, the lyrics and composition were still outsourced.

    "Brand New MAID" Released May 18, 2016
    Official MV "the non-fiction days" "Before Yesterday" "Alone" are included.
    And for the first time in "alone", the song created by the system of lyrics Miku and composition Kanami was recorded.
    After the next album, the band takes the initiative, most of the songs will be songs made by this Miku Kanami system.

    In July 2017, Saiki operated on vocal cord polyps.
    And
    November 2017 The first LIVE.BLU-RAY (DVD)[edited 1h] was recorded.
    The BLU-RAY of this concert contains a wonderful and energetic performance of a young band riding an updraft. The rarely talked about "Moratorium" "Puzzle" "Take me higher" is also included here. However, it is currently unavailable and no songs have been posted on the official channel.
    It's hard to understand why the company doesn't publish such a great live record.

    "Cross"
    th-cam.com/video/yQn4IMr56zY/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo
    However, these two live albums may be reissued because the band's affiliated company has changed recently.
    But, depending on the situation at the time of contract, there is a risk that these two excellent BLU-RAYs will be buried in the darkness forever.
    The full video of these two concerts still remains on the Chinese video site (BILIBILI), which does not consider copyright.
    It's currently not available at a fair price, so I think it's morally permissible to watch it on this site.

    And
    "WORLD DOMINATION" Released February 14, 2018.
    BAND-MAID also toured the United States and Europe in 2018,2019. The concert venues were all small live houses with little capacity.
    Many fancam videos have been uploaded to TH-cam, which record the appearance of a fun band who interacts with the audience at a close distance with a fulfilling and confident live performance by the band members' high performance skills.

    And
    band-maid is planning their first solo concert at Nippon Budokan in February.
    A solo concert at Nippon Budokan has the same meaning as a solo concert at Madison Square Garden in the United States in Japan.
    Raised by the company, the company provides songs, the company trains, the company promotes, the company collaborates with each media, many companies co-sponsor, many concerts at the large capacity Nippon Budokan or some Arena There are several groups that do. BABYMETAL is one of them.
    For them, it's just a big concert.
    However, BAND-MAID won the right to a solo concert at Nippon Budokan by pursuing their own music and continuing their live performances by facing the audience directly. Only with the efforts of the band.
    Starting from that leaflet in 2013.
    And now
    Unfortunately, the concert at Nippon Budokan has been cancelled.
    The world is in a difficult situation right now, but I pray for the success of BAND-MAID.
    I think the appeal of BAND-MAID is all about live performances. At BAND-MAID, the high ability of CALL & RESPONCE, which has been cultivated by continuing to play at a very close distance to the audience in a small live house, becomes an excellent performance and creates a wonderful space. And the live take of BAND-MAID where it is recorded is really excellent.
    In the studio take, the song is playful and gives a slightly excessive impression, but in the live, it is tight and clear, the members are tense with each other's techniques, yet relaxed, and it is wonderful to wrap the audience with happiness It creates a sound space.
    I also think BAND-MAID is currently the best live band.
    In that sense, I'd like you to listen to the 2017 or 2018 live I uploaded the link and then react to the next song, if you can.

    Hey guys. Glad you got to this band! It's nice to see honest reactors.
    As you've heard, Band-Maid isn't metal. What they offer is catchy rock music that features surprising depth and creativity. This song sounds pretty straightforward, and it's meant to, but it also gives a taste of the intricacies they fit into their songwriting: starting the song with a bass solo, the change-up in the first verse, different riff in the second verse, and then replacing the second half of the second verse with a bass and guitar part.
    You guys kept saying it's more rock, not metal but you were also saying that Lovebites is too much but you seemed to be wishing this song featured some double kick? I'm very confused 😆. Normally I find it easy to give a suggestion or three, but honestly this video left me not really sure what you're looking for.
    I think I'm going to suggest "Real Existence (Official Live Video)" for something heavier but hopefully not "too much". They have a music video of the song but I think it sounds a lot better live. I hope you guys continue to explore the band!

    • @BritPopsReact

      That's OK, we confuse ourselves too 😆

      We will check your recommendation on "Real Existance" the live version.
      We feel more comfortable with "Rock" than heavy but we are happy to give other Artists a listen too, but so far, we are enjoying "Band-Maid" and will be reacting to more.

    Band-Maid is a predominately rock band, but they have an open relationship with several other genres. The drummer definitely flirts with the metal genre, she spices it up with some tasteful double pedals here and there. Sometimes she even goes on a longer double bass drum action. Highly versatile band. Some recommendation:
    - Domination Official Live. One of their most iconic live performances. Generally, if you want to react to a song of theirs, go for the official live versions. Very high production value.
    - Rinne. The closest they get to metal. Heavy and groovy
    - Onset Official Live. An instrumental and this is often the song which impresses people the most, because it is so captivating.
    - Daydreaming. A great ballad.
    - Play Official Live. Another great live performance by the band.
    - Thrill Official Live. This was the song that saved their career. Their MV was an instant hit on youtube. This is the live performance, and as I've already said, live is better :)

      We are very new to reacting and our own musical tastes are very different to each others as well as some of the Bands and Artists that we have reacted to.
      We have already enjoyed a variety of styles and genres, (we tend to say that a lot) but we are not trying to put any one in a box or label them, but at the same time, we are trying to get an idea of what style of music the Band will play.
      We only react to songs we have never heard and the reaction is a one-take and no preview, what we say is what we are thinking at the time and what comes out may not always be totally accurate.
      In other words, we have no idea what we are doing, but we are having fun.

    Hmm 🤔 I wonder why they recommended DICE when Band-Maid have quite a few “softer” songs to get you initiated. But DICE intensity is probably a good representation of the average intensity of Band-Maid songs.
    The videos from “Different” onwards have English captions, but i highly recommend “Daydreaming” if you want to see what they can do with “slow / soft” songs.

    As others have said, Live clips is where it's at with Band-Maid. They are honestly phenomenal and (for some reasons) infectiously happy during their concerts :) "Freedom (Live)" is probably more up your alley, musically speaking ( th-cam.com/video/FHpuEqMAcDg/w-d-xo.html )
    If you feel like you need some mellower music, Check out the band "Glim Spanky" (I think their latest clip is "Circle of Time" live - th-cam.com/video/ogEa9Z3V1lE/w-d-xo.html ). They are generally classified as "Stoner rock" (citing The Beatles as one of their main influence btw) and the singer, Remi Matsuo, has a very unique voice, or the band "Polka Dot Stingray" which is definitely pop'ier with some nice jazz'y influences ( th-cam.com/video/hTlsNbmmPKE/w-d-xo.html )
