Thank you to all MOTFD fans who came to check out this video! Please stick around and subscribe, because there's a LOT more incredible music coming out of Japan that the world hasn't clocked yet, and we're doing what we can to show it off. Don't miss it!
I'm so glad you did a video about MOTFD!! if I may, I would absolutely love a video of my favorite band SACOYANS 😔🙏 but I'll watch whatever you make next!! 💯💯
discovered MOTFD a few months ago by accident here on youtube and it became a gateway for me to even more music, so this band is truly something special to me
When I used to listen to their songs in Japan before the hiatus, I shared their music with my friends, but I didn't get much of a response. However, one American English teacher, Brian, told me he loves MOTFD and used to see them live. I was so surprised! This definitely convinces me of their current popularity abroad. I’m very happy about this and hope their music continues to spread even further.
I've seen them the last two years in North America and I will continue to keep seeing them as long as they keep coming. Its always such an amazing time and they always sound great!
One of your best works, Harry. Proud of you, friendo. This definitely hits different after finally seeing them live myself! I really look forward to see them again in Australia one day (even though I told them already!). Fingers crossed for my Aussie fans (we're many)!
thank you so so much for making this channel and this video! i literally shed tears of joy watching the switch between the clips of the live show and the interview. will definitely be a patreon once i get my money up :')
amazing video, my friend put me on to them a bit ago and i went to go see them live with him a few months back, it was my first concert ever too ill never forget it and ive been hooked on their music ever since
Went to the Tokyo show this week thanks to you. Was an incredible experience and live music in general wouldn't even be on my radar during my Tokyo visit if I haven't discovered your channel. Recommended your channel to a few friends visiting japan soon 👍
Had the pleasure of seeing MOTFD last month in Brooklyn. It was the first show I’d seen in years and I still don’t know a single word they are saying but it was one of the best performances I’d ever seen. The crowd had a friendly atmosphere and a great energy. Will definitely be seeing them again on their next American tour.
Thanks for the great insight on a band that became one of my favorites like 6 seconds in 'World is Yours'. Please let them know there are literally thousands of fans waiting for them in Mexico.
I've been following them since 2008. After thinking they were probably done forever, it's been so cool to see them reform and gain so much recognition world wide. I was at that Seattle show they mentioned, and it was fantastic. When I discovered them in 2008, I never in a million years thought I'd be able to see them on tour in the USA.
Last year when they went on tour, I remember talking to my friend, who's an even bigger fan of them than me. I was on Spotify, and I clicked the shows near you tab just out of curiosity, not expecting to go to any. Then I saw MOTFD is having a show in November, and I paused my friend, and told him look. He went silent for a second, then started excitedly saying, "We have to go see them." It came at such a good time because maybe days before we had put a couple of our friends onto them.
What an amazing video. MOTFD is one of my favorite bands of all time and their music is so important to me (I've gotten to see them live in Philly two years in a row now!). To get the opportunity to learn more about them is truly a treat, especially as someone who doesn't speak Japanese.
I am fortunate enough to have seen them now on both U.S. tours in Philadelphia. First time at the Underground Arts, and the second time at the wonderful Union Transfer. It’s been a dream of mine to see them and when I did it was almost reality-breaking. The first time I saw them, they came out into the general admissions area a little while after the show and met with the fans. I will never forget the conversation we had in Japanese as I have been studying it for years now. It felt truly fulfilling to have had a heart-warming conversation with the band about visiting their country and other music-related things in their own language. Their faces lit up and it made all that studying worth it even more so than talking with people over there. Isao even recognized the Bathory goat head shirt that I was wearing which was the last thing that took me out completely haha. Never knew the guy loved black metal but I couldn’t have been more of a fangirl after that moment. Can’t wait to see them a third time. ありがとうございます😊
Thank you for this. Saw them in September here in Portland. I’ve been going to shows for decades and it was one of the best I’ve ever seen/heard. Such a magnificent band. They actually sound like they could be from here. Love Isao’s Poison Idea (legendary Portland punk band)t-shirt.
Fire video!🔥you deserve all the subs!! That story about the girl waiting & wanting her guitar signed outside the Seattle venue🥹 Love this band sm so happy i got to finally see them live in phx in september!🫶🏽
I had the pleasure of donating to their kickstarter when they first came to the US. On that occasion, they were not playing close enough for me to see them. Fortunately, on this last tour, ~2 months ago, they were in Minneapolis and I was able to see them. They were amazing and nice. (They gave my daughter the set-list, and said she and her friend were かわいい！) I cannot wait for them to come back, and for any new music they release. 私はMOTFDが大好きです！ありがとうございます。
Been listening to MOTFD for a few years now and love them. I missed their NA tour last year and only heard they were over here at the end of their run, but had the chance to see them at the end of this September and they put on an amazing show. I was surprised at the age of the crowd, it was definitely the youngest crowd for a Japanese band of the shows I've been to here in the states.
Thank you so much, this is the interview I was hoping for! I went to see them purely out of curiosity in march '24 because they were playing a venue I like (Bota in Brussels). Became an instant die-hard fan, a few months later I have found all their records and I long to see them again! Great work, really 👍.
I've seen them in England in Manchester. They're out of this world. Heck they're worthy of the title of being Japan's Greatest Band. They're legends and they're music is something that will always be No.1 to me
I had a long think about the title-would it be right to call them ‘Japan’s Greatest’? But having spent so much time with them (this video took nearly a year to make) and seen how their humility means that the only thing carrying them to global stardom is the quality of their music and performance, I’m happy to stand by it. There may be bigger Japanese acts out there with major label backing making headlines and playing arena tours, but no one has achieved as much as MOTFD in the way that they’ve done it.
Really amazing video! Since last year im completely addicted to the japanese rock/metal scene and MOTFD have such a unique sound that draws you in, i cant even describe it. Somehow the interview made me emotional when they talked about how they reunited after the hiatus
Great documentary. Watched the them for the second time last weekend, definitely my favorite Japanese band. Was surprised they'd come back after a year.
Seen them twice just within a year. Id say they are even better live! Probably one of the best japanese acts out there that is currently doing world tour. Nice people too
I've been a big fan since their self titled E.P. released in 2008. I had a full body smile, when I saw that their $5,000 goal kickstarter for their first North American Tour, was overfunded to almost $55,000. MOTFD, we love you :)
Nice to see them again in this video after seeing them in person with my son in Detroit. We have been huge fans after he saw them in Nagoya. It seems they have a life balance between creativity and professionalism. A magic formula to stay around even longer. I often wonder what they think about US audiences fervent reactions (Detroit was rowdy) VS Japanese crowds. Your video speaks to that a little. Thanks for the insight!
I didn't expect this level of quality from a video with 619 views but i am pleasantly surprised. Definitely sticking around for more videos like this. Hopefully one day you'll make a video about some of my favorite japanese bands like Arukara, The Oral Cigarettes and BRADIO.
I saw them in Glasgow last March, Awesome name and Awesome sound. The Japanese music scene is the best in the world. I'm seeing OG Shonen Knife for the second time next year.
I literally saw someone posting about their Asian tour today and found out that they’re playing a show literally 5 minutes from me on Thursday and had to snag a ticket. Def my go-to work music if I’m in the shoegaze-adjacent mood. Extreme coincidence but I’m so hyped for it
O love MOTFD so f much, I can't Wait that they come to México, this band make me start to listen to real music, I'm deeply grateful with them, ik is just a band and stuff, but, they really changed my life style and changed my way to listen the music. Fr I hope some day I can meet them in person and scream like some crazy dude, I love this video, I was waiting for something like this longe time ago, idk if there are some more interviews videos on TH-cam of MOTFD, but God knows I love this video so much ❤❤ LONG LIFE TO MOTFD 🛐 (Btw idk if I write all this stuff right, but, idk, I hope it's correct)
I m listen to them a long long time now , really great band, sad Chiemi Ishimoto and Reiko Gotoh did leave hope they doing fine, love goes out to Chiemi and Reiko 😘 No one leaves anymore MOFD , thats an Order ! Its was me adding them to equipboard
I saw them when they came here to Vancouver, Canada for the "Next Music From Tokyo" that came through every year before the pandemic happened. I'd wondered what happened to them.
loved to see them live on their recent NA tour🫶🏾 i haven't been listening to them nearly as long as some, only finding them on accident in 2021, but they so quickly became my favorite band I WILL get my bass signed by Natsuko-san next time, hopefully. she's such an inspiration to me as she helped me keep trying when i felt like quitting

had the treat of listening to them live in manila! what an absolutely surreal experience!

I’m very happy about this and hope their music continues to spread even further.
I found them around 2 years ago, never expected them to be this recognized 😢😢 I'm so happy
literally same !!
Yep they got a good following
I've seen them the last two years in North America and I will continue to keep seeing them as long as they keep coming. Its always such an amazing time and they always sound great!
I saw them the first time this year and they were awesome

Found them through a friend from Japan when they released their EP in 2008. Instantly fell for their sound. Amazing that they are still around.
amazing video, my friend put me on to them a bit ago and i went to go see them live with him a few months back, it was my first concert ever too ill never forget it and ive been hooked on their music ever since

インタビュー聞いてて、何度か泣きそうになった
メンバーの素顔が見れて良かったです👍世界のマスドレ❗地元でどんな公演を観せてくれるかワクワクが止まりません❤
Was super fun filming this.
Amazing job on this video Harry!!!! Incredibly honored to have been able to help out!

I've listened to them longer than I can remember and I can't wait to hear more from them! Skabetty hooked me. MASU DORE!!! Great Video!!!
What an amazing video. MOTFD is one of my favorite bands of all time and their music is so important to me (I've gotten to see them live in Philly two years in a row now!). To get the opportunity to learn more about them is truly a treat, especially as someone who doesn't speak Japanese.
just saw them last night in hong kong, one of the craziest experiences of my life, my ears are still ringing from it!!!! rock on!!!!!!!!!
This is awesome.

Found them in 2020-21. They are literally one of the best bands of all time in my opinion and they deserve all the love they get.
Fire video!🔥you deserve all the subs!! That story about the girl waiting & wanting her guitar signed outside the Seattle venue🥹 Love this band sm so happy i got to finally see them live in phx in september!🫶🏽
Still the best live I ever seen in my life. So much energy so real. I hope they will come back to The Netherlands!

I watched them in their recent NA tour in Vancouver, Natsuko wasn’t feeling 100% that day and still it was one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen 🫶🫶🫶
I've put off going through their discography, but I definitely want to start after finishing this. Amazing documentary!!
Thank you so much, this is the interview I was hoping for! I went to see them purely out of curiosity in march '24 because they were playing a venue I like (Bota in Brussels).

I saw them at Gorilla in Manchester too! It was a great show!
Oh you were at that live too?

@@snowywhyteabz yeah me too. It was amazing I hope they come again. This time if they do I'm 100% getting there early so I get near the front
@@plaisukhum7934 yeah I was. It was a great night wasn't it
So cool, I love getting to know more about one of my favourite bands.
Much love from the Philippines! I'm so happy we'll be able to watch Masudore again on Sunday! So excited!
Kicking myself for not watching them live when they played nearby in North America! I love the energy in their music. 🎉🎉
I have a feeling you'll get another chance soon!
Wow! this is a great interview. It made me smile, laugh, and tear up. Thanks so much for this, it made my day.
Harry this is sick! Amazing job!!
Really amazing video! Since last year im completely addicted to the japanese rock/metal scene and MOTFD have such a unique sound that draws you in, i cant even describe it. Somehow the interview made me emotional when they talked about how they reunited after the hiatus
OH MY GODDD MOTFD VIDEO ESSAAYYYYYY YOU ARE GOATEDDDD. I saw them play in cambridge this year, it was amazing
Great documentary. Watched the them for the second time last weekend, definitely my favorite Japanese band. Was surprised they'd come back after a year.
effing great band -- loved them for about 6 years at this point -- just continuing to get ever more amazing
Seen them twice just within a year. Id say they are even better live! Probably one of the best japanese acts out there that is currently doing world tour. Nice people too
I've been a big fan since their self titled E.P. released in 2008.

Incredible!
Loved this band for 2 years now, I cant wait to see them live at some point!
Nice to see them again in this video after seeing them in person with my son in Detroit. We have been huge fans after he saw them in Nagoya.

マスドレ帰ってきてくれて本当に良かった。
シェルターでモッシュゾーンでグイグイ肘入れてくる外国人とケンカになりそうになったのもいい思い出です。あの人もまだマスドレ聴いてるのかな。
あといつもマスドレのライブで見かける高齢の人は関係者なのかしら。
I didn't expect this level of quality from a video with 619 views but i am pleasantly surprised. Definitely sticking around for more videos like this. Hopefully one day you'll make a video about some of my favorite japanese bands like Arukara, The Oral Cigarettes and BRADIO.
I really enjoyed this!
Lookin forward to their show in Tokyo this month!!
I saw them in Glasgow last March, Awesome name and Awesome sound. The Japanese music scene is the best in the world. I'm seeing OG Shonen Knife for the second time next year.
Amazing after listening to their music for so long then seeing them travel the work makes me grateful. 本当にありがたい
Much love for this Harry
I literally saw someone posting about their Asian tour today and found out that they’re playing a show literally 5 minutes from me on Thursday and had to snag a ticket. Def my go-to work music if I’m in the shoegaze-adjacent mood. Extreme coincidence but I’m so hyped for it
found them in 2016 and they were so ethereal to see live. i love masudore!
ずっとかっこいいバンド！

❤❤
Ai Kozaki는 MOTFD의 4번째 멤버가 맞다..
¡Vengan a México!
I saw them when they came here to Vancouver, Canada for the "Next Music From Tokyo" that came through every year before the pandemic happened.
I'd wondered what happened to them.
NMFT is still going, this year’s one just ended!
Japans greatest band?!???? Hold my pillow..
lesgoooo

初期の女性ドラマー好きだったんだけどなあ〜♪
ジャガー弾いてた女性ギタリストも良かったけど♪
初期メンバーのヘタウマ感が良い味だったのになあ…
theyre coming to my city in 2 days and i cant wait see them perform live holy
loved to see them live on their recent NA tour🫶🏾
i haven't been listening to them nearly as long as some, only finding them on accident in 2021, but they so quickly became my favorite band
I WILL get my bass signed by Natsuko-san next time, hopefully. she's such an inspiration to me as she helped me keep trying when i felt like quitting
