From JAPAN
Thank you for Reaction Band-Maid. They are hard rock band and are now considered by fans to be one of the best hard rock bands in the world. They usually perform 23 songs and 2 hours live. They were formed in Japan in 2013 by side guitarist Miku Kobato. Kobato had experience working at a maid cafe in Akihabara Tokyo and had the idea of playing hard rock in a maid costume. That's why the band was named Band-Maid. "Thrill" was their first music video in 2014, played 2 million times in two weeks and saved them from breaking up. At that time they were just around 20-23 years old. And then they have been doing LIVE overseas and increasing their fans. Now they are writing, composing and arranging all the songs. 31 songs have been released on their official TH-cam, all of which are killer songs.
Band-Maid's online full live has been announced. From 16:00 on December 13th (Japan time). The new song "Different" will also be performed. Full scale live is probably about 2 hours. bandmaid.tokyo/contents/376042
They will release a new song "Different" on December 2nd and a full album "Unseen World" in January 20 next year.
It was announced that the new song "Different" will be the theme song for the animation "Log Horizon 3rd season : Destruction of the Round Table " that start in January 13 next year on NHK E-TV (educational broadcast) Japan.
Official TH-cam th-cam.com/users/BANDMAIDvideos?view=0&sort=dd&shelf_id=2126
For hard rock, "DOMINATION" "Secret my lips," "Rinne," "DICE." "PLAY." and "Onset."
( "DOMINATION" is the 22nd song of 23 live songs. 2020 2.14 Shibuya Tokyo LIVE）
For ballads, "Wonderland ," "Endless story ,"and "Daydreaming"
For a fun live, "FREEDOM(Live) ," "CROSS", and "Choose me ■ English translation subtitles of the lyrics."
Japanese style "Secret maiko lips" and "GION-CHO"
My most favorite songs right now are the "Puzzle" band version and the acoustic version.
Next, their latest Live work "PLAY" would be good. 2020 2.14 Shibuya Tokyo
For studio music videos, "Different" is a good choice. ■ English translation subtitles of the lyrics (^^♪

Toshi - As a fellow MAIDIAC - I see your comments on a lot of these reactions. Your info is very accurate! Keep posting these as new viewers can get all the info!
1600? Japan time? Oops..
Saw it...need new glasses...
@@charleslatora5750 It is 16:00 JAPAN TIME.
You can also check it on the ticket sales site. There is a long ticket that you can watch for 3 months. l-tike.zaiko.io/e/bandmaid1213
The only similarity between Babymetal and Band-Maid is that they are both from Japan.
Well no, both comprise superb musicians taking that the Kami Band are an integral part of Babymetal, both have superb charismatic lead singers in Su-metal and Saiki and both have more fun than is humanly possible playing live.
@@geraldswan2476 Not what I meant Plenty of talent and dedication on both sides. Just different group dynamics and different genres of music. They aren't similar in those respects at all.
@@billb.5183 it is a pretty ridiculous comparison indeed, kinda annoying how common it is lol.
Thats nice .. see my comment above which says WHY.......
@@Vipppala I love Band Maid. I have no interest in BabyMetal. Ones a real organic band. The other is corporate entertainment. What am I missing?
Band-Maid is more hard rock with metal elements. They are phoenamenal. Excellent live performers. Great reaction guys.
The drumming is better in *Freedom* 🤘😆🤘
Freedom is a bit more pop-punkish than metal, but the drum solo is incredible.
You’ve got to check out their instrumental “Onset”. If you want hear their heavier metal side, go for the official MV of “Rinne”.
If you want their most metal song, it's Rinne, but the MV instead of the live version...on the live recording they had to cut an entire verse out for limited time on TV. The best drum solo is in Freedom live.
MOAR BAND-MAID REACTION WITH FRIENDS!
Check out BAND-MAIDs new drop "Different".
Also, you were thinking of "Kawaii metal" or "cute metal". Su-metal is the lead singer of BABYMETAL.
French metal? ... Gojira
Your friend would like Lovebites. Japanese, all female, power metal.
or Nemophila (th-cam.com/video/lh-dVLKP314/w-d-xo.html)
or Mass Hysteria or Ultra Vomit.
French metal? Never heard of it. Nope. Can't think of any. Sorry.
Band-Maid's base genre is hard rock. But they can play, and often mix punk, pop, metal, funk, jazz and most other types of music that have been out since the seventies in many of their songs. Their arrangements are seamless. They never fall back on just one or two members carrying the weight of the band. They all play top notch.
One word------Onset 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
The difference between Band-Maid and Babymetal is that Babymetal is a produced Idol Band and Band-Maid is a traditional hard rock band. Babymetal is the creation of Key Kobayashi from the Amuse talent agency. The band was formed as an idol/heavy metal fusion group which has become known as "kawaii metal" (also known as idol metal or cute metal). Babymetal is a "kawaii metal" band made up of three female vocalists. They are backed by heavy metal instrumentation, performed by a group of session musicians known as the "Kami Band" during performances.
BAND-MAID is a Japanese rock band that combines a heavy hard rock sound with a maid image modeled on Japanese maid cafés. The band was formed by singer/guitarist Miku Kobato, formerly an employee of a Japanese maid café. She visualized forming a band that juxtaposed the maid image with hard rock music. Kobato recruited lead guitarist Kanami Tōno after an Internet search. Kanami had performed in an acoustic band called Rice-cakes and Cheese and suggested her drummer Akane Hirose for the new band. Akane, in turn, recommended bassist Misa, whom she met while attending the Tokyo School of Music. The band then decided to recruit an additional lead singer and selected Saiki Atsumi during auditions. It’s apples and oranges but both bands make great music.
I'm a Band-Maid fan but I don't hate Baby Metal because every time someone reviews a Baby Metal video almost always there is a request for them to also check out Band-Maid which opens the door.
Enjoyed the dual reaction! I recommend Freedom Live, Pllay Live, Onset Liveor Real Existence Live (my favorite). These live performances capture what makes BM special. They also have a new MV out called Different. It is their fastest song yet and is generating a lot of buzz.. Rinne MV is also a fast metal type song.
The bassist, MISA, sang and was the lead guitarist in a previous band but is now dedicated to being a silent bass assassin. Apparently she has perfect pitch.
Kanami occasionally does backing vocals, and she has a very pretty voice that I wouldn't mind hearing more often. She was a solo singer/songwriter before Miku recruited her to the band.
MISA and Akane also played together as backing for a singer named Becky.
Wow. I've only seen Misa playing bass with Akane in that backing band where they have the striped outfits and sunglasses. 👍
SWAN SONG by Lovebites . yourfriend has gotta see them. Holy War another goodie from them. how about Freedon from band Maid too, neat drum solo
Yes more Band Maid please...Play, Freedom, Dice, Rinne, Choose Me, Real Existence, Different etc...the list goes on and on. Great reaction!!!
That was a great video to show a new fan. But drums? Yeah we all know you gotta react to “Freedom” :)
If you want some great Japanese metal, check out Maximum the Hormone. My recommendation for a first reaction is Yoshu Fukushu! (Band-Maid’s drummer Akane is a big fan of MtH’s drummer Nao-chan)
There is a video of Akane doing a Maximum the Hormone drum cover.
Band-Maid’s instrumental “from now on” still gives me chills on the 100th listening. Who needs vocals when you can make your instruments sing like that??? They are an amazing band.
🤘🤘❤🤘🤘 MISA MISA MISA 🤘🤘
Fantastic!!!!! And excellent idea!!!!
Great...band maid is incredible rock band...react to....FREEDOM .......PLAY live 2020...and ONSET live 2018.....
Fairyland is a French band. Kinda fantasy-themed Symphonic metal. They put out several albums in the 2000s, but went away until recently when they released a new album.
Gojira for sure.
Freedom has an epic drum solo. Band Maid is hard rock and metal and pop and progressive..
The are doing another live streaming concert in the near future. Its not the same as going to see them, but it is something.
French band with a Japanese name: Gojira.
NEMOPHILA, Sokoninaru, Doll$boxx, Unlucky Morpheus, Maximum the hormone are other great Japanese bands
Band-Maid is straight up Hard Rock.
Can't wait to see you both have reaction on "Freedom".
Try their instrumental Onset. The Dragon cries is new this year, they sing in english, very Led Zepplinish. Rinne , vry hard riffs. Moratorium, great fiffs. Band Maid is hard rock. Lead guitarist Kanami writes the music. Take me higher, Kanami works a wah peddle furiously. Kanami has said Carlos Santana, Larry Carlton, EVH are influences from guitar. She had a nice tribute to EVH, in a tweet, loving his phrasing and tapping. And Onset Kanami does multiple tapping runs.
French metal? Gojira!
Band-Maid is my favorite rock band right now, but if you are looking for a current Japanese band is that is more pure power/thrash metal, you should definitely check out Lovebites. My suggestion is to watch the following songs from their excellent 2020 Zepp Diver City Tokyo show, in this particular order:
1. Thunder Vengeance, with which they open the show and includes a great intro.
2. Edge of the World, which starts out as a soft piano ballad and then builds up to where it's banging you over the head by the end, giving you the full range of what they are capable of (as well as being a real vocal masterpiece).
3. When Destinies Align (either the MV or Live), which may be their best overall song.
These last two songs end the show, with Edge of the World flowing right into When Destinies Align. I love the combination of the two, which is why I recommend watching them together.
Other songs from that same concert that are also worth checking out include:
* Holy War (one of their hardest hitting thrash metal pieces)
* Shadowmaker (their first single, also hard hitting but catchier).
* Swan Song - particularly if you look for the version that includes the full Mozart piano intro (this performance shows off Miyako's full talents both on the piano and playing lead guitar, with some great solos on both instruments in the same song).
Hey Olly! You need to introduce your friend to The Warning!! Did you forget TWA? You've been AWOL for a while
BTW I would classify (if you can) Band-Maid as Hard rock with metal elements thrown in.
No have not forgotten. I love your thoughts.
Band-maid is not a metal band, but they do have some songs with strong metal edge, such as ''rinne'' and ''black hole''. If you are a metal guy, those 2 are the must to check out. There is also the band called lovebites and they are a straight power metal band. Some say Band-maid is the best hard rock band and lovebites is the best power metal band.
Maximum the hormone and ningen-isu are different kinds to lovebites but just as great.
Band-maid is a genre hopping band with rocknroll at its core.
MISA’s mic is really for when Miku is beboppin’ around away from her own mic.😊💪🏻🤘🏻
MISA did use her mike once. It might have been a thank you. Or maybe a beer burp.
Misa sang in Secret Maiko Lips...twice!!
@@me262a1 that was Umemisa lol
@@GlennWH26 I think she uses it to open her cans of beer.
Japan bands: BAND-MAID [All their songs... really!], LOVEBITES [Raise some Hell, and all the other songs], MAXIMUM THE HORMONE [Yoshu Fukushu], CROSSFAITH [Catastrophe], SiM [Killing Me], NINGEN ISU [Heartless Scat], UNLUCKY MORPHEUS [Black Pentagram], YOUSEI TEIKOKU [Astral Dogma], COLDRAIN [Die tomorrow], CRYSTAL LAKE [The Circle], GIVEN BY THE FLAMES [Ronove], ANGRY FROG REBIRTH [2Step Syndrome], SILENTLY SHOOTING TRAITORS [Manipulate], ALDIOUS [Dominator], BRIDEAR [Light in the Dark], CINQ ELEMENT [Destiny], MARY'S BLOOD [Marionette], DOLL$BOXX [Take my Chance] , SOKONINAR [Tenohira De Odoru], HELLO SLEEPWALKERS [Flying Saucer], TELECiDE [Tied up Memories], SPIRITBOX [Belcarra], NEKO [Ghost on a Record], ROTTENGRAFFTY [Hallelujah], DIR EN GREY [Ningen wo Kaburu], X JAPAN [Kurenai], DAZZLE VISION [Second], GALNERYUS [Angel of Salvation], and many more...
dead-on with the Paramore vibe Saki sounds very much like Hayley Williams. the Band-MAid girls are an amazingly great band
More Band-Maid always a good idea. Check out Freedom live. As for metal, I don't see any Lovebites among your reactions ? Best seen live Holy War on the official channel is a good place to start. Beyond that various tracks ripped from their DVDs can be found, if they haven't been taken down : MDO, Raise Some Hell, Swan Song (with Chopin intro), The Edge of the World, Hammer of Wrath are among those worth watching.
Babymetal , Band-Maid , and the next band you should react to is LoveBites. 🤘With Mr.Burns, of course.
Great reactions! Since you like the more metal side of music, I'd recommend LIVE: Freedom Music Video: Rinne, Different, Alone, or Dice
Band Maid fans consider them as Rock more than Metal, but they do cross over on some songs. only 2 of them sing a majority of the time= Saiki main vocals, Miku back vocals/rhythm guitar. sometimes lead guitarist Kanami will chip in, but her main job is lead guitar. Misa the bassist and Akane the drummer dont really use the mics to sing.
the reason there's a fan divide amongst Baby Metal and Band Maid is the direction for both are completely different. Band-Maid are the band(aiming for pop~rock fans), where as Baby Metal is more 2~3 dancers/1vocalist+backup metal band(aiming more for the pop-idol+metal genre fans)
New video Different is crazy hard. Freedom has impressive drum solo. Japan has a history of hard metal bands. American military influence. Tower records is still going strong there. There was a female metal band that broke out in 90s. then hosted all female rock concert/festival. Love Bites is more metal. Japan X was huge in 80s. Song Rusty Nail from final concert is mind blowing.
Show-Ya. Actually started early 80s (big hair and all) and took off and has inspired probably hundreds of all female hard rock and metal groups since then. Lead singer Keiko left at one point, they tried another vocalist but hard to rival Keiko's fandom, now Keiko is back. And yes, their all-female music festival supporting their musical "daughters" is very successful.
@@jacobusderottmann1000 Thanks. Saw a documentary about Show-ya and one about Japan X. Love the history of stuff.
Band-Maid are my new favorite hard rocking band, they are a one of a kind band :-) I have been into Japanese Metal since the early 80s, listening to Bow Wow and many others.
This band had a great sound, thanks for the reaction! I can hear the similarities with old Paramore, too.
Well, if you're looking for suggestions, please check out the all-female Swiss Traditional Metal band (similar to Judas Priest and even a little bit of Mötley Crüe) called BURNING WITCHES. Check out their #1 watched song "Hexenhammer" first but any of their songs are great.
A great French band from Paris is Betraying the Martyr, excellent live!!
You’re well passed 3K lol and yea have him do more band-maid and maybe show him some LoveBites. I’d vote for Moratorium as the next band-maid song to show him.
Wagakki Band deserves some love too!
MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! the Barefoot Bass Assassin , the rest of the Band is Miku Kobato aka pigeon band founder rhythm guitar / backing vocals n lyrics , Kanami Tono lead guitar music arranger , Akane Hirose aka gorilla drums , Saiki Atsumi aka ice queen lead vocals , other songs Play , Freedom , Onset , Dice , Thrill there first mv from 2014 , basically anything is good , fan base called Maidiac`s . new sub
this was shot at the Shibuya Kōkaidō (aka Shibuya Public Hall, which is at Tokyo) the 14th February of 2020, so yeah it was in Japan ^.^ btw, at 1:44 you can hear Saiki (the main singer) saying "Shibukō (for Shibuya Kōkaido), kakatte koi ya", which means "Shibuya Public Hall, let's go !"
also i'd personally classify Band-Maid as Hard Rock !
Misa (bassist) and Akane (drummer) do have a mic, but they rather use it to speak during breaks, stuff like that. Kanami (lead guitarist) also has a mic because she knows how to sing, she's taken lessons for that because she wanted to have this added to her musical knowledges, but she's never been fond of singing in fact. she's glad to be in Band-Maid because she doesn't have to sing all the time anymore, and can focus on lead guitar and solos :3. but sometimes, she has a few lines for back vocals !
finally, if you want to see a band with all the members singing, go for Scandal !
Babymetal's Genra classifies as Kawaii-Metal, wich is the "radiofriendly" version of Idolcore.
Freedom
Band Maid just released a new song called Different Your drummer friend will like it
Su-metal is the lead singer for BabyMetal and their genre is Kawaii metal which means cute metal
DUST IN MIND best french metal band everrrr
hey, I'm a concert photographer and as a french metal band I can recommend "elyose" which is based in symphonic metal I believe. they're pretty good live.
Very cool I just added to our list.
More heavy Rock n Roll band than metal band. These ladies uses elements from metal, punk, blues, pop to merge with their hard rock music.
My favorite metal band is from Ukraine, Jinjer.
Band-Maid plays their own instruments!
There are a few fans of Band Maid or Babymetal who dog the other band. It is sad as the fan base for the greatest part overlap, there are TONS of fans of both. Hell the gateway drug to the awesomeness that is J-Metal for the great majority of international fans is Babymetal.
LOVEBITES - Raise Some Hell
Olly have Mr Burns check out Ningen Isu "Heartless scat" if you haven't already seen it. Japanese metal ! Keep Rocking amigos!!! 🤘🏻✌🏻
Blooming and DICE are their most popular songs. Yes the drummer does sing and was quite often liked🎤
OK - Japanese metal - main group is Maximum the Hormone - started 22 years ago - they have been compared to System of a Down, but they are harder and better. 88Kasyo Junrei for your AltMetalMathcore - lead singer Margaret. Many Visual Kei groups, who I mostly do not care for, although Dir en Grey are good. Away from Metal, Japan’s most popular rock group are King GNU; at least they seem to win all the awards. Also worth sampling are Wagakki Band, who combine rock with traditional Japanese music and instrumentation
Yes, more Band-Maid and it must be their new single, Different. Very metal.
Cool i just added to my list
their guitars are: Lead-PRS, Bass-Black Cloud, Rythmn-Zimaitis
i would definitely be on board, with more band-maid videos! And if I may give two recommendations, I think "Freedom" Live from the same concert as this song (Feb. 14, 2020) and "Rinne" the official MV could be very interesting. And they released a new Song called "Different" just a few Days ago.
It’s more hard rock with elements of punk rock and some blues. It’s rock n roll
K-Rock is coming up too, J-Metal has been great for quite a while with loads of great bands, Band-Maid are my latest favorites :-)
Well obviously it has to be 'Onset' Live next...their YYZ...spectacular.
Herer are some good French metal bands. ODC (alt.metal), Furies (Hard Rock/Metal), Lofofora (alt. metal) and Eloyse (Symphonic metal) to name a few.
Both babymetal and band maid are my favourites. But compare them is like compare led zeppelin and deep purple.
We all need to introduce one friend to BAND-MAID and have them do the same. These women deserve all the success in the world.
DON'T FORGET TO GET YOUR TICKETS - ON SALE NOW!! - BAND-MAID ONLINE OKYU-JI, A FULL-ON, 2-HOUR LIVE CONCERT Sunday, December 13th starting at 4:00pm JST. bandmaid.tokyo/contents/376042 (for info and membership discount) or at zaiko.io/event/333406
Band-Maid became my fav band. Knowing all the catalogue (almost 100 songs), I'd say they move around metal, hard-rock and even punk, mixing it all.
I also love Babymetal (specially that first album, it's awesome, trully awesome from beginning to end)... but I can't get both in the same "bag"... except for the fact that they are both from Japan. Babymetal is Kawaii Metal if you will, but for me is just Metal ... (the first album is a big big genius "mess" of different sub-genres of metal)
If you want Japanese metal, here's a short list:
Maximum the Hormone: Yoshu Fukushu
Unlucky Morpheus: Black Pentagram
Undead Corporation: Make Me Crazy
Lovebites: When Destinys Align
Galneryus: Raise My Sword
DOLL$BOXX (more rock funk with metal elements): Sekaiwa Kitto Aiwo or Shout Down
If you want something fun try this
Ladybaby: Nippon Manju 🤘😁🤘
Hey Olly! Most definitely you need to bring him back for "Freedom" and "Play" both of them Live versions, I sure you both will not regret it. Oh! and just as a bonus you need to do "Onset" live too
oh great ideal. We will be doing more this coming friday.
Bring him back for Lovebites, Aldious, and Mary's Blood.
Especially early Aldious with Rami
Especially early Aldious with Rami
@@jacobusderottmann1000 I think ReNO is hotter, hehe.
@@eatsmylifeYT - I really do like RE:No although I had to get used to her style, both the pastel Disney-princess gowns, and her very different vocals. I mentioned Rami because many folks feel that was their most overtly metal period, and that with each new songwriter/singer, they have softened a bit. Because these guys seem most impressed by metal. I find the RE:No time musically interesting though and like her a lot.
Kinda wish they had gone with Saki of Cyntia for their new frontwoman-songwriter because Cyntia lost their audience going too soft too long and I feel like Saki learned that hard lesson already. She was starting to bring back some power when they collapsed. IMHO R!N is so far sounding more poppy than I'd like.
@@jacobusderottmann1000 I think that poppy sound comes from her being half-Filipino. Most Filipinos are raised on pop songs.
Misa on Bass and Akane on drums never sing. Kanami on Lead guitar very rarely with the exception of the acoustic songs "Puzzle" and "Anemone", although she has a nicre voice ( she started as a singe/songwriter ). Miku is one of the strongest Background I have ever heard and I don't like to name her Background singer...she is much stronger and better than background and she is harmonizing incredble with the singer Saiki.
I know of a least one song that A-chan does some backing vocals, Check out YURAGU (live) th-cam.com/video/C_4draQ3u4Q/w-d-xo.html
@@DavidMISAMISAMISACook the solo in Yuragu is also a banger
Kanami more often provides backing vocals during Miku's songs (i.e., Saiki's break times).
MISA has provided a few backing vocals at times - although I've personally missed it, apparently she threw in a few during "Freedom" live at Shibuya, while she was in Kanami's position on stage left(?).
Akane does backing vocals on Acoustic show also Misa does as well but if you blink you will miss it
French Metal band Called ADAGIO they had 5 albums
Sanctus Ignis, Underworld, dominate, archangels in black and the latest called Life.
And You should React to LOVEBITES band song called Holy War
It's safest not to pigeon-hole Band Maid to a genre. The pigeon might get you.
ohhhh my Po!
@Gojira is the best French Metal Group ever. Maybe even Metal Group in general.
Hey, since you mentioned that you would like suggestions for French metal groups, try Gojira and Alcest. Don't know if you like that genre, but they are worth a try. Rock on and stay safe!
If you like metal, try Love Bites. Two lead guitars.
Cool we will add that to our list thank you.
I think you were thinking about Kawaii metal which Babymetal is considered the creator of which is the combo of cute poppy sound with metal music.
ありがとう😉👍️🎶
Great job. Check "Onset", its instrumental, its awesome, its pure Band Maid. In their official channel.
An awesome and well known french metal group: Gojira. 🤘
Band Maid is more hard rock than "metal." For Japanese metal/hard core, try "ALIEN" by Maximum the Hormone. It will leave you confused but pumped.
Hey Mr. Burns check out galmet the metters anthem if you like metal because they are no nonsense heavy metal promise dawn ,bullet for undead , eternal rain wow these are a few songs so jump in and enjoy ( all girl metal) hence gal or girl met or metal galmet get it oh did I mention they are badass cause well they are
GOJIRA man! They're French!
You gotta show Mr Burnes , Lovebites live stuff too.
Yes SU -METAL is her own genre
Haha
.......................... Akane!!
It used to bum me out when they pull back energy after those solo bits but now I think that bit is Saikis solo time
Don't know about French, but there is a good one from Mongolia, The Hu. Look them up. lol
I'm not a fan, but GOJIRA is the most renowned and important french band in the metal scene.
French metal group : GOJIRA
Not sure I've ever heard Drummer Akane or Bassist Misa sing in a live vid (or live at a show). Lead guitarist Kanami chimes in once in awhile and has a sweet voice, great harmonies from time to time. That all said, if you check out their "arch-rivals," Band Maiko, you'll hear Misa do something fun with her voice - on "Secret My Lips" MV - check it out.
French Metal... Gojira.
:) Love you`r reactions. Dimmu Borgir is a Norwegian band, not German ;). Pleace react to one of there songs. :)
Taiwan's got a great metal band, Cthonic. They're highly political, though.
I love Band maid you should check out their new song [Different]
also could you check out [Lovebites - Holy war] if you havent checked them out its a all female power metal band from Japan as well
French Metal Group ?
Gojira the most famous french metal band.
Alcest too.
