Wtf did i watch 😮. That drummer 😱😱. The hole band are crazy skilled
Akane is the happiest drummer there is. And of course Kanami the sweetest guitarist
If she's so happy, why did she beat those poor drums up so badly? 😉
I dream of one day being as happy as Akane is when she's playing drums.
@@ChrisPage68 rumour has it long ago a cymbol fell off and knocked over her bowl of noodles and she has been beating them ever since in retribution
She is happy, but have you see videos of a drummer called Junna?
@@Jmaveryk. *JUNNA
Band-Maid and BABYMATAL is the best thing that has happned to Rock/Metal in decades!!!!!
One of my favorite things about watching these ladies rock out live is they always look like they're having a damn good time on the stage.
I love how Akane has the biggest smile ever while playing.
Love her.
Same!
Definitely wins the prize for 'Happiest Drum Solo' .
She is definitely the happiest drummer I've ever seen.
You heard the guitar, you heard the bass, you heard the drums. Now you need to hear wonderland for vocals
Agreed!
Its a shame there aren't any good (non phone) live recordings of Rock In Me yet. Then you can hear Miku singing lead.
@@lb969 one day friend!
Freezer for some awesome harmonies between Saiki and Miku
Why anybody else has recommended 'Screaming'?
I think it's one of their heaviest song after RINNE. Amazing song by them!
Nice reaction, dude!
I don't think I've seen anyone recommend "Screaming" yet. Thanks!
@@TankTheTech Such a heavy song, man. There was a live version but it got blocked. The studio version is really impressive.
Thanks for replying!
Akane always looks so happy especially when she gets to “Akane smash”.
I don't care what anyone says, all of these women are badass.
Akane Hirose, Rina Suzuki (drummer for SCANDAL), and Senri Kawaguchi (jazz drum legend) are the smiling girl drummers of Japan.
This is one of those songs where they like to try and mess each other up. I absolutely love it.
There is a fan cam video of the Domination Tour that was recorded in a small theater right in front of Misa, where you can see her work throughout the show. The guy is about 3 or 4 feet from her. And you'll also see her drinking throughout all the show, lol.
Freedom is a lighter song that is one of the band's favorites. They've inserted various extra intros and bridges into it over the years, including one where Saiki sang the bridge while standing in the crowd and Miku had to sing the entire final verse. Since they use it as a fun fan-engagement song, it gets less lights and pyro stuff, but a lot more of the band moving around the stage screwing with each other, and hyping up the crowd.
Miku actually went to a vocal school before starting the band. When she got the band together, she realized that she didn't have the rock vocals (power) that she wanted the band to have. After they recruited Saiki to join the band, Akane, the drummer, recommended that since Miku was not going to be the main vocalist, that she should play guitar to give the band a fuller sound. Miku did not play guitar before that. Kanami is her teacher.
There are two songs that they have played live (that I am aware of), Time and Rock in Me, where Miku is the only singer, to give Saiki a break. Most people recommended the song Freedom (live) from 2020, since it has the Akane drum solo. My favorite, which is on the 2019 World Domination DVD/BR, has Saiki go into the crowd during the solo, and sing the next verse on the shoulders of fans. It was in a female only section, which were her friends invited by Saiki. After the verse, Miku sings the chorus so Saiki can get back on stage.
Unfortunately you cannot view it on YT, as any videos from their released DVD's get taken down. You might catch a FanCam video, but it will be poor quality. If you really dig the band live, I would recommend getting the DVD/BR, as they play special intro/fills between songs, and are different on each tour. They also have different lighting and effects for each tour, which are pretty impressive. There are 3 Live from 2018, 2019, and 2020.

'Freedom' not being up there as a favorite is totally normal. Once you have the chance to listen to all their songs, having a favorite becomes subjective. You'll find that a "favorite" Band-Maid song can change from time to time.
When a rock god comes down from on high and declares you amazing then nobody gets to argue.
I havnt seen comments calling for their song Alone, which was very important for them because thats the song they used to convince their label to let them write their own songs
Freedom is... Sweet as a candy, strong as whiskey. Theses 5 girls are completly as one unique entity. Perfect 👍
I love this performance. I feel we're very lucky that Band-Maid not only captured and released this concert on blu-ray/dvd just before the shit really hit the fan, but also have done a couple of live streams since. Same for Lovebites with their Five of a Kind release. In fact, whilst practically all of the Western bands that I like have remained silent during these incredibly difficult times, all the Japanese bands I like have been releasing new material and/or performing live streams: B-M, Lovebites, Mary's Blood, Nemophila, Aldious, exist†trace, Gachapin, Unlucky Morpheus, BRATS, just to name a few. They've really helped me get through a truly horrible year.
MISA!!!! MISA!!!! MISA!!!!!!! Actually Akane!!!! Akane!!!!! Akane!! Release the drumming Beast. As usual I like your comments and notes. It helps educate the new listeners to Band-Maid
i love that you took the time to investigate more and add the little comments at the bottom of the screen, i really enjoy your reactions!!
It’s one of their simpler songs but that allows them to enjoy it 110% because they could probably play it with their eyes closed. It’s their favorite song to perform live (maybe cos it’s easy and they can have more fun?).
For those wondering about MISA's bass, it's another Black Cloud bass. It was a custom base made for her, from their Private Reserve line, hence the PR on the headstock. It's a 5-string with an SG body and P-bass style split pickups.
She's now moved on to a different bass, a custom Black Smoker Beta-J5. Black Smoker is a sub brand under Black Cloud and she's now signed with them officially and shows up on their artists page. For those wondering if you get the Triad Master Beta-J5, so the top of the line version of the bass, it'll be what she's running. It's about 418,000 yen, or $3,800. Her's is white and heavily reliced (aged). It's a Fender Jazz bass style bass, body and pickups are identical in shape and placement. This is not surprising seeing as Black Cloud has done a lot of contract work for Fender's Japan branch.
This is Band-Maids favorite song to perform live. The girls have a ton of fun and you can see that.
Freedom is definitly not Band-Maid's finest (song wise) ... but it's a song both the band and the audiences loves a lot, because they always have a lot of fun performing it on stage, and you can always expect something different, unexpected and fun. It's a simple rocker, aiming to provide fun between most ambitious tunes.
I am pretty sure the lighting is done this way in this song to focus you more on the amount of fun and smiling that is going on during this song that might be lost with a bunch of lasers and stuff going on.
Hi TANK！From Japan!!! I'm waiting for your reaction!!!
"freedom live" is fxxk'in awesome druming by AKANE!!! Let's enjoy！！！
hi man, :) i wonder if Blood stained child is still exist ?
@@ulozto666 oh man that's a name i haven't seen in forever.
That bass is one of the most beautiful instruments I have ever seen. And visually it goes so well with MISA's black outfit.
A drum solo like that is the reason why Akane "Gorilla" Hirose is my favorite female drummer!
Yes, that is another Black Cloud custom. A very special edition...
Bass is her new Black Cloud Precision SG Private Reserve (PR) for MISA. Black Cloud is a bit mysterious shop with two man operation. Custom only. They are located near Nagoya Japan.
Love seeing all the band posters back there, then noticing the LotR sign in the middle. ;)
The only band,that spreads love ,joy,and happiness, while being phenomenal musicians 😎
At 4:55 you can see Miku and Kanami at the bottom in the shadow clapping and cheering for Akane going wild.
5:42 With the little hat 👲 from 2016.
BAND-MAID Rule #1 *You do not talk about the hat*
BAND-MAID Rule #2 *You do not talk about the hat*
BAND-MAID Rule #3 *Follow Rule #1*
That Purple PRS was new for this show too, prior she had been using a green one.
I love this band, because of how well they have fun and laugh with each other on stage you don't see that a band enjoying themselves on stage together
One of my favorite parts of watching them live is just seeing how happy they are. You can't go wrong with seeing Akane's big goofy smile while ripping an insane solo
This is one song you expect to see in their setlist whenever they perform. This is their favorite song they like to perform live and yes I believe their friendship is real. Seen videos of them joking having fun they celebrates each other’s birthday with a cake and fan cams showing them having fun with the crowd and each other. You should check out *Before Yesterday* this is the first trip to the united states (Seattle) where it shows them having a good time.
_(Girls Just Want to Have Fun)_
Akane makes the cakes for everyone.
Including the art on top.
You know, I never thought about it but you're right, even my least favorite Band-Maid songs put a smile on my face when they come on.
I don't think this song is so good, but for some reason it makes me feel very uplifted when I listen to it live.
BAND-MAID is a band with a very good live performance.
When I was playing in a small live house, I had a tremendous sense of speed, and when the performance was over, I remember being very tired.
Also, at that time, there were many uncles who looked scary, but all of them were good people who helped me when I was in trouble.
I don't think they've released a video for it yet, but if (hopefully not if, but when!) they ever do, "Flying High" is going to be a really, really good one.
The chordal and harmonics playing of MISA during the final breakdown is the mark of a jazz pro.
Akane is the happiest drummer on Earth. She is amazing. The new SG style is bass is also a Black Cloud
When I first saw Band-Maid via this video, I thought "hey, that's pretty good." Then, when the drum solo started, I was like "holy shit, I did not expect that!" So awesome!
Secret my Lips is just fire! 🔥🔥🔥
Misa debuted her black cloud SG on this tour finale date ;) Hopefully its still up somewhere, but you want to hear Saiki as the focus, gotta check her acoustic duet w/Kanami(lead guitar) on Anemone or Puzzle. its like the old school "unplugged"
on the head stock of MISA's base, PR means Private Reserve. it is Black Cloud's series of the full custom one-off models.
oh you've already looked it up. btw a reincarnation of john bonham thing is highly likely a fanmade fiction/exaggeration. there is no interview or record that back up the rumor. hyped up B-M fans have made a lot of such stuff without ill intentions. take it into account when you read our comments.
@@nair0n819 Too late. It is canon now.
th-cam.com/video/RkNEnUHZyuE/w-d-xo.html
@@nair0n819 She's still a badass drummer nonetheless. Give her room to breathe and this is what she'll do 😉
Funny that you say "Freedom" is your "least favorite song" and you "still love it" because I use to say that there is only one song from Band-Maid that I don't like, and I love it! 😅 ("Ai to Jonetsu no Matador")
"Freedom" as become one of my fav moments in their shows, it always has this aura of good time, and lot's of interaction between them and the audience. My fav "Freedom" performance however is the on in Zepp Tokyo 2018... there is a lot going on and it culminates with Saiki climbing the fence that holds the crowd and is almost engulfed by hands, there are a couple o road crew guys holding her by her belt so she won't fall while singing the chorus... it's such a epic moment... then she climbs off and we don't see her till the end of the song - Miku Kubato sings Saiki's part and the song that comes right after is "REAL EXISTENCE" (another pearl...it's so good so good so good) and more things happen - Saiki appears barefoot (did she lost her shoes in that climbing?) and in the song she starts a little approach and little dance with MISA (always barefoot) ... this Zepp Tokyo 2018 is also the show where "Onset" was taken from...
Anyway, just subscribed your channel and been watching your Band-Maid reactions and really enjoying it, so glad I clicked the button! Keep'em coming! OH, since I'm here writting all this stuff I might as well recommend another one right? So, my recommendation for next Band-Maid song is..... wait for it.... DJAN: "Don't You Tell Me" live at Zepp Tokyo 2018 (and watch the "battle" of MISA vs KANAMI)
Cheers!!
In the other live video of Freedom, that was pulled down, you could hear MISA so much better. She's going nuts the hole time.
You've led me to this band. They are all great but the rythmn section is killer. The feel of this band is top notch.
And they have so much fun.
ろけんろー！
しぇきなべいべー
It's a Rock'n'Roll!
Shake it now baby!
Actually the opening was already pretty crazy and intense in terms of lighting because the breathless opening sequence was “Rinne (Reincarnation) - Blooming - Screaming”.
So good comments on this song. This song is pretty much their "showcase" song if you will for every performance. They play this song in just about every show and its really just a great moment for the band to have a good time playing with each and performing for the fans, "fan service" if you will but in a Band-Maid style. Now that you've seen this I would recommend tracking down the live version of this song from the 2018 Zepp Tokyo live show.
This song always brings tears of joy when I hear it and even more so seeing it live as it just completely exemplifies what this band is all about, having fun, playing music, and just being the most adorable little female badasses in music. The pure joy you see on their faces during this song is intoxicating.
Freedom isn’t my favorite band maid song, but the song and this particular performance ALWAYS makes me happy :). I liked your blurb about saiki because for awhile I just took her for granted as being a great vocalist but I found myself caring about the instrument playing. That’s until I saw “wonderland” from the same concert. Please react to that one because while it’s not as heavy, saiki is the Queen!
Maybe you can check out Band-Maid's alter-ego 'Band-Maiko'?
Notwithstanding pandemics, Band-Maid started doing special 'April Fool's' video surprises for their fans to release on April 1st each yeah.
Band-Maiko is where they do a MV dressed in traditional Maiko (Geisha in training) cloths and do a song with traditional instrument sounds added in the mix. (and sung in a local dialect from the town famous for Geishas.)
This song, Gion-Cho is one such example: th-cam.com/video/umSt7oMUMcs/w-d-xo.html
It's even more special in that it was when Kanami first started making the other girls work a bit harder. Kanami at that time was doing all the arrangements and doing a lot of the 'lead/fill/riff' type playing.
In this song, she arranged it so she could lay back more and do mostly rhythm and let the vocals do more of the work, and the bass & drums do most of the fill & riff playing ... some awesome smooth bass playing and some great Taiko drum style playing by MISA and Akane and great vocals & harmony!!
Band-Maiko MVs are amazing musical and cinematic treats for their fans ... well worth watching!
Glad to see it man. I think this was def requested because you wanted more Akane hahah. She had her moment to shine big time here.
Top 3 next BandMaid for you that I think you'll love:
1) Play (live)
2) RINNE ("Reincarnation") -- THE MV NOT THE LIVE VID
3) Real Existence (live)
For clarification on RINNE/Reincarnation -- the one live vid on YT is crappy audio/mixing quality (it's not from a normal show that they uploaded) and for some reason it's a shortened version of the song, so it doesn't do it justice at all.
Real existence live is awesome. Kanami going nuts headbanging like a boss while playing is orgasmic.
Theres a lot of great songs like Puzzle, Moratorium, Take me Higher, The non fiction days, Clang, Turn me on, etc. Its a pitty that most of this videos on youtube have been taken down.
@@larispegmail completely agree. Less of a harder banger but honestly my favorite if I had to pick one is Wonderland (live). Mastapiece.
@@Jake-gi2ir Yeah TV execs made them take out the 2nd Verse (our little Pigeon slides go bye bye) for time considerations.
@@DavidMISAMISAMISACook ahh that'll do it. I didn't know much of the context here other than it looked like a TV broadcast if I had to guess. That'll do it. Thanks for the info!
Next stop on Japan music tour would be Wagakki Band with "Homura/Akatsuki no ito" live or "Senbonzakura" live. Good fun.
MISA MISA MISA! yup not in my top 25 but a fan and Band favourite they have played this song live the MOST at 138 times next is Real Existence at 118. Both are older songs not written by them (Miku did do the lyrics for Freedom tho)
From a recent inductee to the Band-Maid fandom I would like to get your thoughts on Love, Passion, Matador I really like that song especially the solo work.
Other than the drum solo of this song, the highlight is their friendship and enjoying the live performance.
Everyone looks at each other and smiles. Kanami crouches down and stares at Kobato's solo vocals.
Akane breaks her face to make her laugh. Kobato is waving his hand to support the drum solo.
Good friendship is a great energy.
I read in TH-cam comments somewhere that Miku once made a "mistake" singing the lyrics of this passage and Kanami is actually pranking her, crouching in front of Miku's lyrics monitor and forcing her to sing it from memory. But since Miku wrote the lyrics, I suppose she can sing whatever she wants.
I have to back-track and say that upon closer examination that there is no monitor where Kanami is crouching. There is a tablet on a stand between Miku's mic stand and audio monitor. I apologize for my part in contributing to this bit of misinformation.
@@garymerrill4244 Kobato said in an interview that she was surprised to see Kanami staring at her vocal part. If you look closely, you can see that Kobato is nervous as she stares at each other in the first half of the part. Perhaps because of that, Kobato misses the pitch a little at the end of the vocal part.
It's so obvious how much Akane hates that drum kit.
Hahahaha
In terms of unprovoked attacks on the drum kit, I think nothing beats the time Kanami got too into her solo and axe kicked a cymbal.
There's no doubt how amazing a drummer Akane is but it's undeniable she is the happiest I've ever seen.
Misa's bass on this one is Black Cloud Private Reserve "Precision SG Bass," Misa signature bass. So it's PR on the head stock, and is made by Gibson.
These ladies absolutely SHRED!!!
I like how you edit your videos. It's like accessing to your thoughts after a reviewing. More Band Maid please. A lot of fun.
That is the biggest thing about this band, you love everything you hear, just some songs more than others,
I just wanted to say that your reaction videos to band-maid are an absolute blast to watch whenever I get feeling low I know that I can just pull up one of your band-maid reactions and get back into the swing of things!!
Another great reaction Tank! What I love most about these girls is just how much fun they're having on stage, always smiling, always just straight up enjoying what they're doing, and you can't help but smile with them :)
Discovered Band-Maid this week. They are amazing! The technical skill they have is just off the charts.
Aaah, there it is :) As much as I love the drum solo (which I can hear like a melody in my head which is actually something I usually associate with Bonham) - what gets me every time is how they re-enter the song from there with the little powerful bridge before the solo. Mindblowing!
As a next song I think Blooming MV is a very good choice because there is a lot going on musically (and it's a great song!) and I have a soft spot for Wonderland from the Feb2020 show. Very different, somewhat softer song but also a lot going on and with Saiki's vocals really shining.
Also: how much fun are they having on stage!
It really says something about how good this band is when Freedom is only an OK song from them. Songs like Dice, Domination, Bubble, Puzzle, Wonderland, The None Fiction Days etc set a really high bar.
Please can you do BTBAM's Extremophile Elite Live, this performance will blow you away.
Every Band-Maid video, all I want is an isolated MISA-cam.
This one is from November 2018 in Amsterdam´s Melkweg th-cam.com/video/pC8zLNNaQRM/w-d-xo.html For more videos from MISA´s side: th-cam.com/video/2BDFic7j45c/w-d-xo.html
Brother, just heard the instrumental "Giovanni"....this will absolutely melt your face off. I have Never heard anything like it. Wow..wow..wow
Wonderland showcases Saiki's vocals. Love your vids, I share them when I can.
I just can't stop watching these girls jam!! Not a weak link anywhere. All 5 bring it hard!
After watching my first couple Band-Maid videos, I was convinced that Akane was the best drummer I've heard since John Bonham left us more than forty years ago. However, I'm not an expert so I wasn't confident in my opinion. But if Jimmy Page likes her, then I must be right.
Oh fuck ya! They are so amazing! I can’t say enough good things about these amazing women! Keep rockin’ it out! 🤘🏻❤️
I’ll be honest, I’m just as excited to hear the background song during the talking intro as I am to see the actual reaction....thought it was ETID at first then realized it was the damned things
I think I watched all your Band-Maid reaction videos, from the first one all the way to this one because I'm just as impressed as you are. Wow man. Goosebumps on every song and every solo.
Choose me, Blooming, Dont you tell me(live), Matchless gum all would be cool reactions. Dont tell me has Kanami and Misa dueling solos. Choose me, i love, Kanami shines, great solos. Lot of kanami intricate guitar work.
I felt same way on first listen, but it's so catchy it's now grown on me (I liked songs like "Dice" and "Real Existence" on first listen). "Blooming" took time, too, but is now a fave. They are masters at crafting catchy music. I may have said this already, but I really dig the high production values of your videos. Few reactors put as much thought or care into their videos-from titles to background, to how you structure the videos into parts, each with a purpose. Entertaining and smartly done. Love the technical insights, too. Cheers.
If I ever get to a tenth fraction of Akanes drumming skills on my own drums, I could happily die. Thats how freakingly good she is!
Yo man! Thanks for another great BAND-MAID video! Check out Play, it's from their Feb 14 2020 show. Also recommend their MV Blooming from their channel it's a damn good song.
These girls are totally bringing that distinct JRock sound. Really great musicians too. Can't help but going back to some good old X-Japan after hearing this!
An easy song for them to play and sing. It allows them to relax and clown around a bit. Also, gives Miku and Akane a little time out front. Kanami, Misa, and Saiki are so dominant in most of the songs. They work really hard at highlighting the strengths and personalities of ALL the members of the band.
Everyday I was checking for this upload 🤣 I agree with you on that statement that you have to hear this song multiple times to love it. That's why I never skip their songs to hear for the more popular ones. I learned to love and appreciate all their music. Great job as always bro. Looking forward to more of your reactions. Also thanks for dropping that fact about Jimmy Page, man is a legend.🤘
In Japanese, music is written as “音楽”(on-gaku)
"音(on)" means sound and "楽(gaku)" means fun.
BAND MADE,especially Akane's drumming is the embodiment of 音楽.
I would like to believe that you are going to watch another song from Band maid. This group has an immense talent which can vary from very many styles: Rock, hard rock, pop rock, American rock and metal. I suggest you see the following song to see how much it has touched on many styles: Moratorium live, Play live, Dont you tell me live, Rinne (like metal) and Dragon cry. Realy thank for you video.
I'll definitely be doing more. I think I've done 4 now and I've liked all of them a ton.
This is my favourite BM song so far
I introduced my dad and his wife to Band Maid with Freedom so they could see their skill. They were floored. Idea for your next Band-Maid. Want something a little different? Secret Maiko Lips. Id also recommend The Non Fiction Days or Wonderland (must). Anything you choose you will at least love.
Ill add something else.. Trident (Junna is the drummer and is also amazing) is another up and coming all female band. They are similar to Band-Maid.
Lovebites..."Thunder Vengeance"
It's their opener....😎 (2020)
You want more heavy from them? Try rinne (reincarnation) MV. Let's get headbang!!
Friendship? Helloween is family!
I’d think they’d be only playing 5k+ arenas from this point forward. I’m guessing a lot of people (ok, older people) like me have discovered them during the pandemic 😷 worldwide via TH-cam. I can see them playing big arenas (15k+)in the big cities of North America. They are fantastic. Their musicality is outstanding, not just their playing but the arrangements, their versatility and expression. I love the choices they make.
As fantastic as they are, I don’t think they’d be headlining A-Market arenas in the states yet. Even as big as they’re gotten, it’s still a very niche market as of now.
@@TankTheTech If so, it’s a damn shame.
Great reaction. You do the “Tank Facts” which really really add to the reaction. Thank you.
Thank YOU!
bandmaid has a new song Different online. cant wait for your reaction
Reaction coming tomorrow!
Yup. Never enough Band-Maid
Saiki used a Shure KSM8 Dualdyne in 2018 prior to undergoing surgery for vocal cord polyps, but afterwards she switched to a Sennheiser e 935 microphone because she was told it was a better fit for the quality of her voice. But that was a few years back and they may have changed mics for the Tenth Anniversary Tour
This is their fun song they just cut loose and have fun . A older version of this song saiki got lost in the crowd and miku finished singing saiki's part they always seem to just have a blast during this song. If you want to find something new try a band called brats
