***I don't own any of the music in this video. This video is intended to support the content, not recreate or use for personal gain.
Saiki is the real dark queen of rock today in the world, she also wanted her to have a vampire smile, she can make your hair stand on end when she sings a few meters away from you, and you at the end of the concert you will be absolutely in love with her, you cannot have hope to save yourself.
She will lower in front of you and you will hear his natural voice while his hand with very long fingers will dance in front of your face and you will sink into a well of emotion.
Akane at first will seem exaggerated and invasive, but then you will understand that no one today can play the drums like her, she is the hammer of God.
At the band maid, concert mixing is set a lot on bass and drums, and you can vibrate with Misa throughout the concert in a whirlwind of low notes that you can't even imagine if you don't go to see them in concert.
Misa's bass and Akane's drums are truly an explosive mix, but at the concert, you will discover the incredible rhythms on Miku's guitar which is always out of phase and in counterpoint creating really new rhythmic atmospheres, and then weaves crazy choruses with Saiki.
in the end, Kanami transforms her guitar into a generator of emotions, she can go on phrasing throughout a song in a way that if you don't go to a concert you can't even understand.
She can do things at the speed of light that no one else can but by keeping a soul and an emotion, she does not just do scale exercises.
In conclusion, I went to a Band-Maid concert hit by a friend, and I was stunned, I felt the same forgotten emotions that I felt with the super bands of the 70s and 80s, it was like being at a Led Zeppelin concert, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Rush, Queen, maybe even better. and I have seen these bands all in concert even many times.
After that incredible evening, I chased the Band-Maid for Europe for a whole week to see other concerts.
Incredible concerts in small theaters where I was in the front row 50 centimeters from Saiki, where I dodged the neck of Kanami's guitar that could break my teeth, they are powerful and they have fun while playing, their concerts are something truly unique and indescribable, from a few meters you can see Akane, a slender 165 cm girl who plays with the power of John Bonham for 2 hours in a row continuing to smile and looking around at the spectators.
Akane is supernatural believe me.
Go to the Band-Maid concert and then maybe you can even die.
Real Dark Queen of Rock............that fits Saiki to a tee.
Dice is like a BAND-MAID anthem.
At least for me since it was the first song I heard from them. Late, but what a hell of a discovery. Miku is there, but their voices are so similar that you can't tell them apart. It sounds as if Saiki's voice was layered, but it's actually Miku. The new released Wonderland (Live) shows more of their progressive side.
Your summary of why you like their music so much is spot on. The definition of BAND-MAID.
RockOn!
My first Band Maid song. Love at first sight.
You need to check out Alone sometime. It's a very important song in their discography as it's the first song that the band wrote totally on their own that was allowed to be released on an album. It marks the beginning of Band-Maid as we know them today.
Exactly.
100% agree. And the fact the MV is just them in the studio was the perfect touch.
Oh yes
+1 vote
Honestly that MV has always been my fav, yet it seems strangely underrated compared to most of their MV. Probably got the best guitar solo and (to me at least) most interesting vocals.
I got tickets for the online live on the 23rd, but more than that... I just got tickets to budokan Feb 11th 2021!!!! I am so stoked!!!!!
I also have one Budokan ticket! Now, I only hope that Corona-chan would let me travel to Japan.
@@mogaman28 I am so jealous! Have a great time!
I am so jealous...
BUDOKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!
Lucky Guy !!! I have lost the first lottery 😭😭 Try the second 🤞🤞 Wish me luck🤞
Finally... Band Maid again :) I am wondering how you are able not to spoil anything and watching every video on their channel... You are brave and strong-willed young padawan!
Great reaction!
That pesky TH-cam channel and the need for content.
Don't forget to watch their 1st online concert....😊😊😊
For transitions try "Blooming"! It's a cornucopia!! Yea, I had to look up how to spell that....LOL! Nice reaction to Dice by the way!
Just like in Japanese, the "U" is silent :D:D:D
What drives me nuts is that Miku doesn't get near the love she deserves But it really says a lot about Miku as a person. Miku brought all these crazy talented musicans together and just let them all shine! She doesn't let her ego get in the way.
I read this somewhere. Once upon a time there was this pretty girl who liked pigeons. One day she decided to form a band. At that time she just happened to know a brilliant guitarist/song writer, Who just happened to know a brilliant drummer, who just happened to know a brilliant bassist. Then Saki-Sama made everything perfect!

My personal opinion, Miku is a genius. She had a dream and never let go. Through luck or skill (or both), she found four like minded, talented women to rock our world.
Miku is the one who made the most progress. I love her for working so hard to get such an incredible Guitar player. I mean who decides to play now guitar ans learnt it so fast.
She is crazy.
Miku has become a fine guitarist. She almost plays like the conventional bass lines and let misa focus on more creative, cool lines and solos. She's just awesome.
I usually hate people who stop the video all the time but your enthusiasm is great. You obviously know what you are talking about and that's a lot better than some numnut jumping around pulling his t shirt over his head being overwhelmed staring at the camera in shock even walking out of the room and coming back in. I hate those people . What I would like to see as BAND MAID don't seem to copyright anyone is for a reactor to play and listen to the song then play it again stopping at key points to analyze and comment. I think that would be great but you did a good job. Just having a genuine appreciation is the main thing.
Some of the best live Band Maid videos are Play, Take Me Higher, Turn Me On, and Don't You Tell Me! Everyone of them will bring a smile to your face.
Band-Maid's the bomb, dude! Nice, calm yet exciting review with good info. Please continue...
A lot of the time in the chorus, Miku will follow the vocal melody an octave lower, then break away for a showy harmony for punctuation. Her voice and Saiki's meld so effortlessly together, which sounds amazing in live recordings but sometimes does hide Miku in studio sessions.
I haven’t heard so many inventions in one song since ‘70s Yes!
Roll the 🎲 *DICE* 🎲 on BAND-MAID and be a winner all the time _winner winner chicken dinner!!!_
The song “Alone” high lights Miku’s harmony with Saiki. An outstanding MV. from BM.
Thanks for the very interesting and educational reaction! While Band Maid may not get the play or recognition that they deserve, more and more musicians (like yourself) are discovering them and listening. The musicians tend to be surprised by their creativity, scale and chord selection (not just blues, but jazz scales and drum patterns, punk, funk, pop, etc., their ability to seamlessly merge all of those genres, the differences and nuances in the verses, the willingness to take risks and utilize multiple riffs in a single song (not afraid of composer's block), the willingness to rework songs for live performances, etc. Did you know that Kanami has rewritten a number of songs to take advantage of Miku's improving technical abilities on the guitar? Kanami is a very proud sensei! I think we will see more of that in the future, including a few lead breaks for Miku at some point.
I think the musicians are really surprised to discover that while Band Maid has a gimmick they ARE NOT a gimmick. These ladies are virtuosi, and outwork almost every other band out there. I believe that they will be very influential. We'll start to see other musicians raising their game and level of effort.
(6:55) Maybe because the song Freedom was release May 18, 2016 and as time went on Red Rose Miku said that they have become better musicians - as far Freedom Live Feb. 14, 2020.
The slide transition coupled with Saiki saying "May I take your order" is amazing. No order taking necessary, this is exactly what I wanted.
Yes Dice!, I wasn't sure if you were going to do Dice or do the new releases. I hope you do Blooming soon. Great reaction!
I always listen to BAND-MAID before I shave because it makes it easier. ;)
Just make sure you do Secret my Lips BEFORE Secret Maiko Lips. There's a whole other side to band maid You haven't seen yet.
You hit the nail on the head. When I heard them I knew immediately that this was absolutely my sound. I couldn't ask for anything more.
You can hear Miku and Saiki harmonizing on"Secret My Lips" (from Just Bring It), especially in the final thirty or so seconds.
when I listen to BM it reminds me of the MC Hammer verse "You can't touch this"
Can’t wait for you to watch Wonderland! They went totally ham with the arrangement and progressions, you’re gonna be wowed by the creative flow on this one.💪🏻🤘🏻
I just got my online live concert tickets for them on the 23rd. I can't wait.
You need to check out Band-Maiko! It’s them but with traditional Japanese instruments added. And they dress in Maiko outfits instead of maid outfits. It’s awesome!
As amazing and incredible as it currently sounds, it is absolutely true they don't have many bad songs. You can put on any of them and have the same reaction. Lots of detail, never lazy. I listen to them a lot, and it always elevates my mood. They are the definition of ear candy. In this song, Miku does the lower voiced singing and while it seems like it gets lost I can't imagine the song without that.
If i wanna hired maid, I wanna hire band maid. They no need to clean my house but only sing songs for me.
If you go through a whole concert of theirs you will usually get to hear/watch extra transitions between songs that are not on their studio recording. They plan and rehearse their concerts like it is one piece of work from beginning to end.
DICE is just perfection.
You have to listen to their latest song uploaded on their official channel called Wonderland. It's an epic beautiful and romantic prog rock song with memorable melody. If you could check their English translation of the song, which you can find on the internet, then it would be a new level of enjoying.
Ah, yes, Band-Maid and their 2nd verse musical gymnastics.

I thought it was funny/entertaining that you mentioned Anime, and they do have an Anime outtro... Glory for Yugi-oh: VRains. Next you will be mentioning why they don't have a main theme for like a drama series... oh wait... Bubble for the Japanese Drama series Perfect Crime.... Well maybe they just need to star as themselves in some movie or something.. oh wait.. 😁😎 I'll leave that one hanging... at least till Covid has passed enough to film Kate... oops...Thanks man, your reactions are a blast and informative. 🤘
Be VERY careful reacting to Glory. That's usually the one that gets the strikes. It probably has something to do with the fact that we're dealing with multiple companies, Revolver Records (BM's label), whatever company owns Yugi-oh and who know who else.
It's funny, 'Blooming' sounds like an Anime Theme, and even though they have songs that are anime themes, 'Blooming' isn't one, yet. Still it is, to me, the perfect Power Pop song, and would make a great Anime Theme Song, even better than 'Glory'.
@@judgeroygreen7046 Operative word "yet" LOL
And the fan maid [fan made] anime concert BanG Dream x Band Maid (search on youtube)
If you want to listen to one of their best songwriting, check out Secret My Lips :)
Thanks Champ! Great song!
Jazzy, funky, bluesy, punky, poppy, classic, metal
,progressive
Hard rock bands that are so all-round are rare.
Please continue to support their magnificent experiments.
Prediction: You wont survive.
Edit: Band Maid has healing properties :)
I can't hear Miku either on the albums ... she really does come through live. Saw them in Dallas and you can hear her very clear.
Great reaction and I really enjoy your analysis of their music, this is the primary reason I subbed your channel. This band deserves to get as much exposure and support as possible to help them continue to write and perform great songs. Right now it's only YT that is helping spread the word about how great they are and your breaking down the different techniques that they use will help convince more people just how great they are, so a big thank you for continuing to highlight this band and explaining to doubters just how really good they are.
Please try their power ballad "Daydreaming". A great song where all members get to show off in one way or another.
Both 'Freedom' and 'Domnination' LIVE were recorded at Line Cube in Shibuya. And though the performances were great, It's not their best LIVE recordings. Room mics are fine for picking up audience response, but then the instruments sound very unfocused. The bass especially is lost in the room ambiance. Yes, Miku's backup vocals often blend in so well they sound like a chorus with doubling has been put on Saiki's voice. But if you watch the LIVE songs from Sound Coast or the Zepp Tokyo LIVE concerts, the Doubled Chorus is on Miku's vocals. So it's sounds like Kanami is singing too, which frees her up to concentrate on the leads. She only pitches in to help on the vocals for the Chants and on the Soft Acoustic Ballads. But any Bassists who say their's no money past the 5th Fret obviously haven't seen MISA's playing., especially on Lead Bass and her Call & Response "Battles" with Kanami.
Daydreaming, Before Yesterday and Bubble are great music videos as well !
You got to give Miku some love . She has only been playing guitar for seven years . Kanami is her rhythm teacher . She taught Miku how to play when she built the band . In a lot of earlier vids she didn’t play a lot . But she has become my favorite rhythm guitarist . So give her some love
If you want to do a fun double song review check out the song Secret My Lips, and then look up the April fools version they put out called Secret Maiko Lips. I think you'll enjoy both.
Can't wait until he stumbles on to BAND MAIKO.
Another great reaction!
I’m telling you... the things you like about them are showcased in the live version of “Real Existence”. The bridge in that song... let’s just say it’s better than anything you’ve heard yet from them.
whatta great reaction, next rinne
This band is really very eclectic, not only in the style of their songs but in the elements that compose them. Pop, punk, funk, hard, metal ... man, even calypso if that's possible (Matador). For me, however, the adjective that suits them best is Progressive. The song Wonderland is a great example of that.
hell yeah Wonderland sound like a great next plan, you gonna love saiki's falsetto.
anyway talking about their live performance, imo Play and Puzzle are the two song that really highlight how much better they are during live.
id like to suggest more bandmaid songs next but it gonna get endless lol. how about a change of pace and check out Unlucky Morpheus, they described themselves as neoclassical melodic speed metal. like bandmaid they are amazing in every department, great songwriting, great live, great technical play, and they got phenomenal vocal. i might hype them too much but they are just that good. anyway check their song Cadaver/Revadac if you are interested. fyi Revadac is basically Cadaver played backward.
edit: forgot to add this, i love your breakdown of their music's structure, keep it up dude.
Even though you cant listen ahead..another idea might be finding reactions to the videos that have been taken down. Namely the Zepp Tokyo and Summer Sonic videos. And maybe slide your thoughts from those into other Band-Maid reactions.....? Eh eh?
Secret my lips MV you can hear miku much more than most other MVs, I would suggest if you want something that really blows your mind, watching secret my lips as your next MV you do when you get done with the 2 new lives, then afterwards listening to Band Maid's official rival band Band Maiko and their song "secret maiko lips" :D
Suggestions: Blooming mv, Rinne mv, moratorium live ver, Puzzke live ver, etc....too much good song, just these for now.
These four are definitely top tier
Puzzle
add play live to the mix
Those are great songs with videos on TH-cam, not counting more than fifty that they don't have, it's ridiculous how many excellent songs they have!
Screaming and Glory are also great
Their music makes you smile. :-)
Like the poster behind you of: JiU, SuA, Siyeon, Handong, Yoohyeon, Dami and Gahyeon, a.k.a. Dreamcatcher. Enjoying your reactions to Band Maid. An InSomnia here supporting Band Maid. Love that transition from the bass to guitar solo. Got the Blu-ray of Line Cube Shibuya and recording is great. Think TH-cam videos of concert aren't true to Blu-ray sound and recording.
I noticed the sound quality is much better on the blu-ray as well. You can hear missa much better on it.
@@joshi_new_wave3283 good to know if and when I get my copy of the Blu-Ray
They are just really good... Great reaction, keep it going
Love the Band-Maid reactions, but also love the fact that you had the metal version of Those Who Fight from FFVII in the background right before the BM video started!
I really have to second the comment of checking out Alone. As their first "allowed" self-written song you might think it's going to be lacking since it's such an early song but I promise you won't think that. It was released 4 years ago and it sounds just as awesome and great as the songs they put out and perform today.
Also, do Secret My Lips and after that for a fun mind-blowing surprise, Secret Maiko Lips. DON'T SPOIL YOURSELF, TRUST ME HERE. I'm a Dreamcatcher and Band-Maid fan like you, I won't steer you wrong.
Love your observations - Im learning more even though I've heard these songs 100+ times
I just subscribed, I think I like your reactions the most here lately.
If you like miku’s voice try their very first video“ thrill” MV. She sings whole verse even though they didn’t write that song.
That song got everyone’s attention.
And band maid "ROCK IN ME" miku sing in whole song
Yes. Great reaction!
It's so rare to have a band so consistently put out solidly written, catchy and fun songs. Like even Rush has some awkward songs, you know? There's only one other group, well, a duo but yeah, who I've never heard a bad song from. They're super different from anything you listen to here, but Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer have some of the best songwriting I've ever encountered.
Being a folk group, they're much more lyrically focused, but their musicianship is fantastic, too. Dave Carter (RIP 2002) was a master of that really fast acoustic fingerpicking you see from bluegrass players sometimes. I read an interview where Tracy said they would rewrite a song 20 or 30 times before calling it good, and that effort shows. Because like I said, no bad songs.
It's hard to describe what they were about. I mean they have a sad cowboy song about Lancelot, and a rip-roaring tall tale from a trucker about how he survived driving down a mountain in a snowstorm. So yeah if you want examples of fantastic lyrical composition, I highly recommend them. Not metal in the least, though.
Nice
As you appreciate songwriting, a suggestion would be to view Puzzle (live), followed by the live acoustic version (in the same reaction video, I mean).
That's also what I experienced. When first I heard of Moratorium, I fell in love right away then I tried the album version, it lacking something so very different from the Live one. Bando-Maid was born to be Live performer /,,/🎸🔥🎌✌👗
Lots of awesome tracks you can look forward to, but at some point you should check out their April Fool's 'joke' Band Maiko, particularly Gion Cho. Gorgeous MV, great track, lots of silliness, Miku gets some lovely harmonies.
Band-Maid Alone needs to be on your list.
I know you're a musician because you said: "She's doing like *sprrrrp* *sprrrrrp*..." That's always how I'm communicating drum patterns with drummers as well ;D
Professional lingo!
Great you did this, it's a signature MV for them. Good analysis too. Not to tear you away from Band-Maid, but you will be amazed when you find out how deep the Japanese girl-metal scene is. Trying again with Lovebites "When Destinies Align" th-cam.com/video/hLFelI93VkM/w-d-xo.html Pretty sure you will be blown away.
Don't forget their online live, multi-camera concert happening July 23. Get tickets at their official website bandmaid.tokyo. Or go to zaiko.io/event/327811
They are the most incredible band on the planet!!!!! The issue with their studio sound is that Japanese engineers tend to compress the shit and some of the life out of the songs
Come here because of your Red Velvet reactions and here I found that you're already covering Band Maid. Best of both worlds I guess. Please consider react to Band Maid Anemone - Puzzle live. It's a beautiful acoustic piece with only Saiki and Kanami on stage. Greetings from Argentina.
Try Live versions of Puzzle, Play or Clang.
Please react to Band-Maid's "Daydreaming" MV and then the live version :)
I am so inlove with the riffs ... the drums .... the vocals ..... with Band-Maid
Nice reaction. What you might also have found lacking in Freedom was that it was not actually written by Band Maid. It also did not quite sound like a Band Maid song to me either, even though I enjoyed the hell out of the performance (Achan on those drums yeah!). Note also that Cross (recently posted on their YT page along with Wonderland) is not actually written by them either (I'd react to Wonderland instead - it's a beauty).
"Wonderland" is my favorite from _Conqueror,_ but I like "Cross" as well, both studio and live. It feels like they took a third-party written song and used it as an experiment. Not a showstopper, but still fun and definitely something they made their own.
@@rmdcade1717 Cross is a great song also, I agree, and maybe some of the individual parts were arranged by some BM members, but the overall song arrangement I don't believe BM had a hand in. It's a fun listen but if I'm going to recommend a BM song for a YT reactor (with limited time), I think I'd prefer to recommend one actually written and arranged by BM, as there are so many great ones, such as Wonderland. This particular reactor appears to be appreciate interesting songwriting: I'd recommend Yolo (MV), Moratorium (live), and Daydreaming (MV or live).
Hey, I think for a change somebody should suggest Endless Story, the song that made a section of the fanbase lose their minds.
What I have learned about the best Japanese bands is that they never miss a beat, are always on time and in synch andno matter if they are roaring and moving mountains they can stop perfectly in synch...into complete silence...
Choose me, alone, Blooming
React plz
Re: Hearing/not hearing Miku: I buy into something I heard a bit back: Miku's so good at what she does that you can't distinguish their voices - it just sounds like one stronger, richer voice.
MISA MISA MISA! I personally think they do NOT have any bad songs just some that are not quite to your taste for me it is "Glory" LOVE the Basswork throughout but it is still my least fav Band-Maid song (that would be a Hit Single for any other Rock group).
edit: have recently heard a live version of Glory with a Solo by Miku then Kanami and hasn't changed my mind but made me more appreciative of it.
Obviously you have to go for the new live performances. But if you want to shake things up a bit as well: Heading in one direction you have Lovebites ( try the songs Shadowmaker or When destinies align ). Or heading in the other the band that got me into Band Maid and Lovebites to begin with: Mutant Monster ( Not many MV's out there but go for Abnormal or 離してあげる ). If you want more info on either let me know, but I kinda want to let you walk into seeing them without knowing what you are in for. 👍
I hear a little of Miku's "man voice" in my left ear...mmm...
I hear that also, it's saying "buy more merch"
Next ?? Try Blooming....
Dude, Miku is doing Low and Hi pitch backups. Whatch it again. Or go to the Semisonic Dice live video and you can appreciate it very clearly.
Puzzle live. Miku's backing vocals complete that song.
Freedom is actually a really early song. So it wasn’t quit where they would get to latter on. There’s a live version of freedom that’s pretty old now and it’s not nearly as good as the 2018 or 2020 version of the song. The girls have a lot more involvement in the production of the albums after the first couple and the production got much better, or maybe be smarter.
Miku in this tune is singing in a lower register than she usually does.
You should check out BRIDEAR- song called(LIGHT IN THE DARK)
Another all girl rock band from japan.
I like it, but it does sound like it should be the background music on a FPS game.
From Misa’s playing on the bass I was getting a heavy feel of rancid
you know, you could just type in a random band maid song and it'll make a great reaction video, as in they dont have bad songs ofc
tho i feel like thrill is a quite popular song i kinda got into them with it so maybe try it out
I have a confession to make. I only watch Band Maid reaction on anybody.
EVERYONE .. .BTW for all those into BANDMAID ...On JULY 23, 2020 (NEXT WEEK) BANDMAID is having a ONLINE CONCERT at 4pm JST (Japan Time) which is 3am EST here. But that's ok you can watch it at a later time (like within 24 to 48 hours.) Just go to their website and join for free and then go from there by following the links. For less than 20 bucks you can see these girls live. If you like them, Support them! They don't make anything from youtube. They haven't been able do much since this Coronavirus Apocalypse. So support these super talented ladies who are putting a smile on your face by making awesome music!! If Don't Know...Now you Know.. Knowing is Half the Battle... Go Joe!! Spread the Word!
I like your reactions - good combo of emotion & technical observations. I prefer the band's live versions: have a couple of dozen to rec, but would lead off with: Turn me on, real existence, play (MISA!!), choose me, and alive or dead...
🤘🤘❤🤘🤘 MISA MISA MISA!!!! 🤘🤘
😁✌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dice is the best MV/song to recommend to someone as their first exposure to Band-Maid. As to why they are so good is, they all are educationed in music and had work as professional musicians and singers prior to Band-Maid. Think in terms of The Band and the Eagles who were backing bands and sessions musicians prior to their fame as bands.
Other bands: 1...2...3...4...Go!
Band-Maid: 1...GO!
Time to do some Ningen Isu reactions!!
