Welcome aboard, Lj Felton. You are embarking on (along with many others) 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, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Consistency (nearly 100 songs with new album, “Conqueror”), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destine 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 50 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: th-cam.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/w-d-xo.html Their later songs drive even more - Rin’ne, 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, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE and Smile... or more punky like Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series! And many are represented with 30 well produced music videos. th-cam.com/users/BANDMAID Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE concerts such as 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. Here’s three of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at super intimate venues. The first taken by Vladimir Chupin in Hamburg: th-cam.com/video/__1th7ctgMo/w-d-xo.html, the second taken by JT Dayo in LA: th-cam.com/video/4uIYBkAybCI/w-d-xo.html, and third, 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: (Ages are best est.). Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements, melodies and High Priestess mediator between the Gods (Band Members) and the masters and princesses (Fans). At 26 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Leader) as Miku calls her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away the persona. Her charisma, performance and voice focus the experience. Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 28 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. Kurrupo! No, no, no… KURRUPO!! Kanami Tono (Ka-Naw-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 28 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, 29 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 “DrumRilla” is the Party! MISA (Me-Sa) "Assassin" - Bass, 27 years old. A sullen, barefoot, dark spirit driving her 5-string bottom-end to hell and back, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. The Mysterious One 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!
Old bands used to be friends in high school and childhood friends used to form groups, but they were formed by music lovers after they became adults. That's why I have more musical passion and skills, and I think it's being appreciated right now.
Band-Maid is considered the best "hard rock" band in the world right now. It was founded by Miku, the rhythm guitarist/bakup vocal with a red flower on her hair. Miku used to work at a Japanese "Maid Cafe", so she had this idea of rock band wearing the cute maid outfits. The band is formed by top Japanese musicians: lead guitarist Kanami, bassist Misa, drummer Akane, and lead vocal Saiki.
Your daughter is perfectly right about the little "growl" in Saiki's voice - that's something she added quite recently in her singing and it makes wonders. Thx for the reaction.
Great reaction. One of the things I really appreciate about Band-Maid is their musical skills. They are excellent musicians. Of course it doesn't hurt that they are all attractive young ladies in cute maid outfits, but it's the technical ability on their instruments that catches my ear. One of my favorite bands, thank you for reacting to them. I hope you do more, all of their songs are very good.
They are: Miku Kobato (小鳩 ミク) - band founder, main lyricist, rhythm guitar, backing vocals, occasional lead vocals and spokespigeon. Kanami Tōno (遠乃 歌波) - lead guitar, backing vocals, main music composer. Akane Hirose (廣瀬 茜) - drums, backing vocals, sequencing. Half human and half gorilla. Misa (ミサ, stylized as MISA) - bass, occasional assassinations. Saiki Atsumi (厚見 彩姫) - main lead and occasional backing vocals.
Live stream of Zepp Haneda on TH-cam on Sunday August 16th. Many of us think Band-Maid is hands down the premier hard rock band anywhere in the world today. I would like to thank you for helping spread the word. Very best regards from Sacramento. We love Band-Maid here.
HELLO...HELLO...HELLO. Nice reaction ladies. Can I suggest BAND-MAID's first ever MV "THRILL". You can see how far they've come since on their quest for World Domination.
They have a ton of great music. They also have a ton of variety in their music. If you want to see the lead singer show her stuff wonderland live is great. Blooming is just fun and great. Daydreaming is beautiful. There will be many suggestions. Enjoy the ride
❤Miku❤❤Kanami❤❤Misa❤❤Akane❤❤Saiki❤ Welcome to the World of BAND-MAID. For your safety keep your arms and legs in the cart at all times and please stay seated until the ride comes to a complete stop. If for any reason you feel the need to raise your hands you may do so with extreme reverence. Thank you for choosing our ride and enjoy the rest of your visit here in the World of BAND-MAID. WARNING it has been determined that BAND-MAID is habit forming and can lead to better mental health. Please use without caution.
Growl 1:20 - close enough I think... Band Maid not as strict on copyright.. Band Maid has many fans.... All the songs are good songs. Every band member is super talented... Thank you! Great reaction!
This song is 23 songs of more than 2 hours live. It is the 22nd song of the live. They are in their late 20s and are in their seventh year of band formation. They have nearly 100 songs, and they write, compose and arrange by themselves. I recommend larger headphones to hear the bass.
Welcome aboard. As far as more suggestions go their live stuff like "Freedom" and "Play" are good. Studio song recommendations would include: Don't You Tell Me, Dice, Alone, Non-Fiction Days, Thrill, Choose Me, Secret My Lips, and probably more I'm forgetting.
If you can, switch the volumes of what you're reacting to. With the volume on the microphone your speaking into. It makes it a little more enjoyable and easier to watch. Keep up the good work and you can never get enough Band Maid !
Wasn't that fun? Anyway they have lots of songs and they are all good so there's lots to do. Another great band is BRATS check out M'S DOWNER and EXCUSER . They aren't that young they are close to 30years old but BRATS are young. REI the singer is only about 18years old but she's really good.
