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 mayhem to ballads, instrumentals to acoustics they do it all. They can make you headbang, they can make you pogo, they can make you cry like a baby. They are also five of the nicest people in music, without a shred of ego. They are funny and fun and world class musicians to boot. They are currently into their 12th year with the original line up. And they are the best live band I have ever witnessed! 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. Her 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!
Our Maids are profoundly entertaining inventive, skilled and diligent. The greatest proper rock and roll band of the 21st century IMHO! No brag just fact.
Welcome to the awesomeness that is Band-Maid! They are definitely best experienced live, check out any of their live videos on the maids official YT channel to see what they can really do. They also have a back catalogue of well over 100 songs, and every one of them are more listening to (multiple times).
Great reaction and they do punk, rock, metal, pop, ska, polka, Baroque, cabaret (maybe not those last 4). Thanks for reacting to Band-maid, they are a great band and have a deep catalog of self composed/arranged rock.
Welcome to Band Maid! The best rock band on the planet (imo of course) If you want to hear them go harder I recommend Shambles (music video) or Hate? (Live). Based on the wall of guitars behind you, I'd really love to hear more detailed thoughts on the musicianship of the band if you have it. I always find what musicians have to say about this band the most interesting bit of watching the reactions.
Just the right song to start with Band Maid. more than 120 more song to go trough. And always pick the official live video when available. Enjoy the ride.
Glad you liked the song,which is about 8 yrs old now,check out,From Now On,mv its heavy man,and many other rocking tracks,,HATE live at Yokahama 2023 will show you how good they are lıve,oh and the bass player Misa has a ripping solo enjoy.
This was a pretty tame song of theirs. This was an early song of theirs, and I believe this was their first self-written song. Their early songs were punk rock leaning. But they're more of a hard rock band that transcends genres. There are so many harder songs than this. This was back when they were just figuring out their own Band-Maid sound, as everything had been written for them before this.
Welcome to BAND-MAID!!! Play (Live), Real Existence (Live), HATE? (Live), Onset (Live), Puzzle (Live) Dice (MV), Blooming (MV), From Now On (MV), Manners (MV), Rinne (MV) or pick any video from them. Thanks and have a good day!!!
Agreed, however, as with nearly all Band-Maid songs, their onset and attack are always punchy as heck. This is how they achieve a sort of "hard yet soft" sound that's hard to find elsewhere.
Great reaction! Band Maid is excellent! I suggest listening to and watching Kiyoshi as well. She is a bassist, singer and virtuoso who sings and plays bass in a band without guitars. There is only bass and drums. Very original. She is excellent too. Band Maid, Kiyoshi, Nemophila, Lovebites, Hanabie and other bands demonstrate the excellence of women in rock and metal.
Jabba , Welcome to BAND-MAID enjoy your journey down the Pigeon hole , MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! the Barefoot Bass Assassin , next song Hate ? official live .
This is more pop-punk,which I love. 'Hate?' Official Live next! If you want Japanese female hardcore punk, Otoboke Beaver 'Don't Light My Fire'. They're punk AF!🤘
This song will always have a special spot in us fans. First released song written by Kanami and the band. It already has the unmistakable Band-Maid sound.
Welcome to Band-Maid! Great reaction, thumbs up. Band-Maid has a huge range. "Alone" (this song) is kinda old, and not really their hardest or their best. For an idea of their range, check out this double live video. First is "Manners", a funky groovy classic rock song, then they segue into "Black Hole" which is straight-up speed metal. (This is live but during covid they released these videos of them playing since they couldn't tour, it's basically studio live.) th-cam.com/video/iaf94nNSRGE/w-d-xo.html
They are more rock than metal, but they can definitely go harder than this song, and often do. Perhaps try the song Warning (as opposed to the song where they team up with the band the Warning), or Hate? official live, or Shambles, or From Now On (instrumental). Or for the most metal they get, Rinne (Reincarnation).
Thank you for your reaction to Band-Maid (Proceed live with "Hate", " Domination" or double take "Manners, Black Hole") ! With them and the formerly seen Hanabie live, you only found some of the dozends bands from Japan and Asia, which bring a slice of freshness to the rock/metal genre. All with fantastic playing skills. My favorites (If you proceed with them and Band-Maid, you will get much more suggestions) "Asterism", a young 3 piece mostly instrumental, with the 7 string bass and one of the most promisning gutiar talents: "Church", "Dawn", "Gunfire" or the newe "Unravel" "Lovebites", if you like speed, and powermetal your right, all play on prodigy level with long solos from the probably the 2 lead guitars in the genre. Begin with the newer recordings: "Hammer of Wrath", "Judgement Day", "Stand and Deliver" or "M.D.O" "Nemophila", one of the shooting stars. Started 2020 as a YT project. Clean and growling singing in one person. Formerly a 5 piece, now one guitar left, and they are even better! Lots of convers on thier YT channel: A hard original one "Zen" , "Orian" or the new "Beautiful Days" "Maximum the Hormone". Heavy as hell. Founded in the 1990ies they are still active. Just hear and watch the latest release "Shimi". Take care of your head! "Gacharic Spin," Craziness in live show, fun rock and funky: "Mindset"

Band Maid is the best hard rock band not only in Japan, but in the world!!! Welcome!
Their newer songs have subtitles. Kanami the lead guitar just had a PRS signature limited edition model released.
They are rock and roll guardian angels and the best hard rock band on this planet🤘Keep an eye on them!!
They can go harder, softer and every other thing you can think of. This is very early, the first song they wrote themselves. They're even better now.
Band-Maid now has 722,000 subscribers!? They have gained a lot of subs in a short amount of time.
Hey The RealJabba,
welcome to the world of Band-Maid.
Glad to have you on this journey !
Yes.

How about HATE? (live version) is the next song?
PRS release KANAMI`s signature model.
Watch HATE? live from Yokohama Arena and strap your head on. Best rock band on the planet.
Oh you haven't heard nothin' from the bass player yet. She's literally one of the greatest on the planet.

Alone isnt even in the harder section of the library 😆
Yup. I'd call it in their older "pop-punk" section.
Agreed, however, as with nearly all Band-Maid songs, their onset and attack are always punchy as heck. This is how they achieve a sort of "hard yet soft" sound that's hard to find elsewhere.
"HATE" OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO FROM YOKOHAMA ARENA 😊
THE best Hard Rock band on Earth. Or any planet. Best served live.
Shambles MV is one of their harder songs

If you want a bit harder check-out Rinne (MV), Hate? (Official live), Warning , Shambles (MV), Black Hole (official live), From Now On (MV)
You need to see them now !!!!! That was the first song they wrote......Best hard rock band on the planet !!!

If you want something harder try 'Rinne' , plenty of others too

Hello Saiki & Miku. When you next do some new songs can you do one where you swap vocals on the verses again, it's been too long. Arigato.🙂
‘’Yeah yeah, Gary san.’’ MISA will reply! After emptying 20 cans of VB, THE ONE including in Her hand with this Face🥴
Btw, what T-shirt size u wearing?
Yes, for example Moratorium.
Welcome, you are Just breaking a new gate and and and unseen world Is waiting for you.
Yes, they can go much harder! Try 'Shambles', Black Hole' and 'RInne'.
That's right. And they can be progressively hard, for example in the song Giovanni, or in most of their instrumental tracks. :)
If you want harder check they MV:Rinne 😉 or Warning MV Shambles MV After live MV Non fiction days MV From now on MV ....and all live performance 😊
