Welcome to the world of BAND-MAID. The best live rock band out today. They combine rock, metal, punk, pop, jazz and progressive into a sound all their own. Check out live videos Play, Domination, Onset, Real Existence, Freedom etc etc etc but ANY video you choose will always put a smile on your face. Enjoy the ride!!
Was wondering when you would discover Band Maid! I did a year ago and have been hooked ever since. Dual vocals, extremely talented musicians, master lyricist and excellent compositions. Then throw in a genuine joy for performing and impeccable delivery. Play live comes to mind being the bass fan you are. Enjoy! edit: After you listen once go back and turn on the CC, most of their newer material contain English translations.
If you wanna be a happy person, with a lot of positive energy, good vibes and be able to handle even the worst situations with a smile... Listen to Band-Maid!
@@patron40silver If you have ever crewed for anyone who goes a bit too far... I was lucky my challenges most often came from fans, or hangers on AND being a local band little risk of being stranded far from home if anything went sideways.
Wow! I loved your reaction to my favourite band. I've just turned 60 and have been going to gigs since I was 12, went to my first three day festival at the age of 14 and with a few notable exceptions I've seen pretty much all of the major rock acts since the 1970s - the exceptions being bands or artists who had either died or disbanded before I had a chance to see them perform (The Beatles, The Doors, Hendrix, Joplin, etc.) - and in my opinion Band Maid are easily the best band to have emerged over the past 40 odd years. They are five musical virtuosos who are incapable of writing a bad song and their unbelievably amazing chemistry together knocks spots off every other band I've seen in recent years. They've totally reignited my love of rock music and in my opinion they're the best rock band on the planet right now. Cheers from your new subscriber in the UK!
Why am I only getting this 6 hours after the premier? I'm shaking my 👆 at you, TH-cam. Thanks for reacting to, and sharing, BAND-MAID. Girls kicking ass!!
As others have mentioned, maybe because they don’t market themselves as a metal band. In fact they’ve specifically mentioned a few times that they are not a metal band, but they obviously incorporate many elements including metal ones into their music.
If you're a fan of really heavy gross and disgusting base lines, with great tone, this Girl is one of the best! I love how she curls the pick into her index finger when she slaps and pops. The switching is so fast, like sleight of hand.
It’s actually insane how well Misa is able to support the group while also standing out. I feel a lot of bands have bass lines that usually just follow the root notes in an eighth note fashion, and while there is nothing wrong with that, it can be a little underwhelming when trying to find something new. Misa absolutely destroys the bass lines she creates, making them memorable and exciting. She also is able to these crazy lines into their songs, even if they seem really busy with a lot of other things going on. On top of that, I feel that is a common them with Japanese bands, having memorable and interesting bass lines that are just different.
G'day Deadgrl. So happy you caught up with Band Maid, and a few rippers to start with. So much more to see - seven albums and a bunch of recorded concerts. To start lots of feel good live like 'Domination (live)', more bass in 'Dice', heavy riffs in 'Rinne' and 'Real Existence (live)'. Throw in a great ballad 'Daydreaming'. By the way both you and Saiki have great smiles - looking forward to seeing more of both.
Saiki is very proud of her smile, and when you see it, she glows. Wow. your enthusiam is so awesome. Maidiac who wandered over to see something new and you got a new fan. Thank you for sharing your joy
Great reaction... If you like bass... Then Band-Maid is super great for you, the bass is up-front in the B-M and always doing something awesome. And about fang teeth (in Japan they called it yaeba teeth)... It's considered cute in Japan... I read even some go under dental procedures to make artificially because they didn't have it. Maybe because the Wabi-Sabi philosophy: appreciating beauty that imperfect.
Welcome to the Band-Maid Universe. So many songs to choose from the list. I mean literally they have 100 songs to choose from 7 albums so far ( 3 mini albums, 4 full albums). The ones that i like is Moratorium (Live), Puzzle (Live), Rinne (MV), Blooming (MV), the non fiction days (MV), Freedom (Live), Domination (Live) just to name a few.
Nice!! Glad you really liked them! By the way, in Japan yours and Saiki's teeth are considered desireable, from an article, "In Japan, dental beauty trends are quite different, where a popular look called Yaeba is desirable. Yaeba means “double tooth” in Japanese and describes a sort of “fang effect” where teeth are crowded to the point of pushing the incisors into a prominent display in the mouth. A multitude of dental “salons” in Japan offer cosmetic procedures by which dentists actually implant artificial teeth to induce overcrowding, forcing the incisors into a more prominent place in the mouth or adhering plastic covers to the tooth to lengthen and sharpen it.
One of the best reactions to Band Maid I have ever seen! You can tell that you genuinely "get it" and it's fun to watch. I suggest digging into their catalog as the music they produce is unparalleled in the music industry today. 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🙂🔥
There’s no “right” song to introduce yourself to band maid....but you REALLLLY picked a great pairing :). Both songs were off their newest album but there’s a lot more. And yes Saiki the lead singer has the same teeth as you and they look super awesome 😎
DS, in case you don't know what "wabi-sabi" is that patron mentioned, it a Zen Buddhist teaching that, in very simple terms means accepting imperfection or, in yourself and Saiki's case, finding beauty in imperfection!!! In Japan, having extra teeth is an attractive trait to a point that adding extra teeth cosmetically is a common practice and since I'm half Japanese, I will definitely agree😉!!!👍👍🤘🤘🤘
Welcome to the world of Band-Maid. Their music is truly incredible and I hope you continue listening to more. Their more recent videos all have captions on them if you ever want to check out what they're saying. Miku on rhythm guitar writes most of their lyrics and she's a real poet. She was also the one who thought to form the band, so we all owe her a debt for managing to bring all these ladies together. Usually for early listens I recommend the live video for "Domination" or the live video for "Real Existence", both on their channel.
It was so good to see you react to Band Maid! I remember your reaction to Babymetal "Death", one of the best reaction I had ever seen, I can't believe you had not listen to Band Maid, better late than never right? Band Maid has been around eight years now with the same line up, Miku, the back up singer and rhythm guitarist formed the band writes most of the lyrics, Kanami the lead guitarist writes most of the music, she also has been teaching Miku how to play the guitar, Akane is the drummer and is one of the best with her fills and change of pace, Misa plays the bass, she has a great ability to switch from picking to plucking or slapping the Bass. Saiki the lead singer was recruited by Miku to be the lead singer. What a great band, with many musical influences but at the heart of it all they are a rock band. They even have done some really good ballads like "About Us" which is pretty much a love letter to their fans showing how much they miss them because of this covid situation. Normally I recommend live music from Band Maid like "Real Existence" or "Domination", anything from Band Maid you can find from their youtube site, knowing your taste you probably also like their music video "Rinne"... I am sorry to hear about you getting bullied, I got bullied too, actually I have the same darn teeth, lol. I hate to say it because as a rule of thumb I am not a violent person but a bully is a bully until someone punches him in the face, that comes from personal experience... There is nothing wrong with your smile, it is beautiful like it is. I have seen reactors, especially beautiful lady reactors, with NICE STRAIGHT PERFECT TEETH say they loved Saiki's smile and her teeth. Great reaction, look forward to you checking out more Band Maid, Peace and take care...
The Bassist, " the bare foot assassin ", her name is Misa. She likes to sip a little, " Jim Beam ". Just like the rest of the band, she's one of the best😎 More please !
Misa, that rebel! Doesn't she know the that Jack Daniel's is the hardcore musician's drink of choice?? 😂 Then again... I'm in Tennessee, so I'm biased 😉😇
@@lonniekramlich6241 🥃'🥃 I actually live about 45 mins from there! They have a great tour of that historic distillery... taste testing @ end of it too 😁 I'd imagine taking 3 tours in a row and you'd be pretty much sh!t faced 🤪
Welcome to the fandom! MISA is an amazing bassist. They have a great drummer (Akane) & guitarist (Kanami) too. ♥ Band Maid I suggest the following Band Maid songs: Thrill, Dice, Manners, Bubble, Real Existence (live) & Domination (live) Also most their recent vids have a subtitles (CC) option/button. Be sure to click it if you see it
Saw these ladies in London in 2018 and was instantly hooked. One of the most enjoyable 2 hours I've spent at a gig. So hope this Covid thing ends soon so they can come back and see their ever growing army of fans all around the world....世界征服....World Domination!!!!!!😁 Ps. your teeth are beautiful...
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh....... Your joy reminds me of my own, when I first listen to them in 2017. I’m truly happy they made you so bright and delighted. DAMN... I was smiling because of your infectious joy. You remind me of my sister’s reaction. Thank you for your channel and your honesty. Hello from Japan.
Hey, it was fun to watch you react to my favorite band. As far as suggestions, I always recommend their lives: Play (Live-former instrumental), Domination (Live-solos galore), Freedom (Live-extended drum solo), Onset (live-instrumental). For MV's: Rinne, Blooming and Manners. If you want to see their softer side, Ballads are : DAydreaming (MV), Wonderland (live) and About Us (Online Live-tribute to fans during covid). Peace Out!
Watching your face expressions change from surprise, to awe, to silence, back to surprise. That's Band-Maid for you. Their music is a fun rollercoaster of twist and turns that keeps the adrenaline pumping.
First time seeing Band-Maid for me also. These girls can jam out that's for sure. I want to hear more, I like the first two songs, really good stuff. I liked the bass solo on No God also. As always great reaction Deadgrl.
I first heard this band (Thrill) 4 or 5 months ago and have become just amazed at how good they are... they are all just great players.. and to top it all off... they are even better live!
From JAPAN ■ Introducing BAND MAID and the latest news. ■ ■ They have over 100 fascinating songs. ■ Thank you for Reaction BAND MAID. BAND MAID is a 5-member girls rock band. 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 cool songs with a maid costume. That's why the band was named Band-Maid. "Thrill" (Studio version ) 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 19-22 years old. And then they have been doing LIVE overseas and increasing their fans. Now they are writing, composing and arranging all the songs. 38songs have been released on their official TH-cam, all of which are killer songs. ★ Since last year, they have added English lyrics to the video, full text in Japanese and English in the description. ★ Kobato Miku's solo project "cluppo" started on April 1st in April Fool's Day!

Great reaction! Welcome abord Deadgirl Superstar :) If you like dirty bass, BAND-MAID is made for you. MISA is my favorite bass player and she's going to blow you away many more times. Check out their songs "DICE" official music video and "Play" official live video for more awesome bass (and everything else) 7:29 Saiki has perfect teeth, you have perfect teeth ;) 🙏🏻🤘🏻
I loved your reaction. Thank you so much for that, and thank you for spreading the love for Band-Maid. They are saving rock music. My favourite track of theirs is 'Manners'. It's not as fast-paced as 'Warning' - more bluesy / jazzy, but still rocks and it has some interesting quirks. I read in an interview with the bassist, MISA, that she wanted to be the best bassist she could ever be. To paraphrase her, when people ever thought about bass, she wanted them to think about her. So far, she's doing a great job. Everyone I read who tals about this band is raving about her bass playing. Your teeth are just fine, by the way. If people need to pick on others because they feel bad about themselves, and don't have any other way to lift themselves up, they will just try to bring others down, so they will focus on anything that gets them a reaction, whether it's real or not. You're beautiful and passionate and real, so stay true and ignore the haters. Their opinions count for nothing. Their insults are more a reflection on how they feel about themselves than how they feel about you. I was bullied all through school too, so I know how it feels.
They play a large variety of songs, ALL of them are good. I don't know if you were aware but NO GOD is actually a totally live on line performance. That's how they are live and in front of an audience they light it up. They do some softer things too but they're excellent also. Right now Band Maid is the best rock band on the planet. Misa (bass) is called "the barefoot assassin" because she doesn't wear shoes when playing. She also likes drinking whiskey and beer on stage and if you can listen to her she pretty much plays lead bass under the guitar lead most of the time. Akane (drums) is called "the gorilla" by her band mates. Miku (rhythm gtr) writes most of the lyrics and actually started the band and Kanami (gtr) writes and arranges most of the music with input from the other members. Saiki (vox) actually acts as quality control when they're creating new material. They all have a part, they all get their own times to shine. Watch FREEDOM live first and then DOMINATION LIVE. Well, watch anything, as I indicated, they don't have a bad song. I'm an old guy (approaching) seventy) and hadn't really paid much attention to rock at all because it was stale. When I discovered Band Maid years ago they blew my socks off and I haven't looked back. There are a number of other really good all female Japanese bands but Band Maid is the total package. A couple more songs and you'll be hooked forever.
@@thesilvershining if you watch them live and they gather around Akame (drums) they're actually goofing with her. They try to throw each other's timing off. In fact, if you watch audience recordings in small settings you'll really get a sense of how much they fool around and that they're really all friends. They're only all about 30/31 now and they started in 2013 so they were all fairly young when they started. Enjoy your journey of discovery.
@@topographic1973ify I find it so amusing that they can just go up to each other and mess around as if the world is their playground. It makes me enjoy seeing them perform so much more because it shows how much trust they have in not only themselves, but also in each other. It’s nice seeing them progress over the years, seeing them try and vary their style while still sticking to the maid thing.
I think warning and thrill live videos are a bit refined with post production but I remember that I was overjoyed that they nailed all the other songs from the new album, (including this. There's no post production for it, this is exactly how it sounded. ) they played onset and without holding back as well if I remember correctly. Pity that the live videos are not available (yet) 😢 Even without crowd they were so amazing I was knocked out!
Band maid is going to be a trip of nostalgia because every song just reminds you of every great old song but still remains fresh. Welcome to the bandmaniacs
Misa's bass is very prominent in many band-maid songs. She almost leads in some songs. And they also have songs where drums stands out. And everyone knows Kanami is genius so... Goes without saying, but don't forget Saiki's vocal and Miku's harmonization and how they all complement each other.
Welcome aboard, Deadgrl Superstar. You are embarking on (along with many others - 110 million YT views!) 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, Jazz, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Consistency (over 100 songs with their latest album, “Unseen World”), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destined 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 70 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: th-cam.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/w-d-xo.html Their later songs from albums Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, and Just Bring It drive even more - Warning, No God, H-G-K, Black Hole, Different, Rinne, 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, About Us, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, Mirage and Smile... or more punky like After Life, Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like Manners and The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or a bit jazzy like Wonderland… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts! And many are represented with over 35 well produced music videos. th-cam.com/users/BANDMAID Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYU-JI concerts. 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 are excellent. Here’s four of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at super intimate venues. These two taken by Vladimir Chupin in Hamburg: th-cam.com/video/__1th7ctgMo/w-d-xo.html, and a fun, wonderful live performance in Amsterdam of Miku introducing "Don't You Tell Me" (with MISA & Kanami's great instrumental exchange) and "Turn Me On” (with MISA's solo intro): th-cam.com/video/kfYQoWBlSpk/w-d-xo.html. The next one was taken by JT Dayo in LA: th-cam.com/video/4uIYBkAybCI/w-d-xo.html, and finally by 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: Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 27 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away her sometimes perceived, coldish persona. Saiki’s powerhouse performances, charisma, and voice focus the experience that’s driven her to the top echelon of hard rock frontwomen... or frontmen! Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 29 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. Kuruppo! No, no, no… KURUPPO!! Kanami Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 29 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, 30 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 “DrumZilla” is the Party! MISA (Me-Sa) "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass, 28 years old. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin 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!

BAND MAID, the only band bringing rock back today! Not metal exactly just jumpin' jivin' hard rock! What other band could bring together an old man (me) and a young TH-camr (you) in enjoying the best thing to come around in rock music today! BAND MAID!!!!!
Yes!! Japanese bands are absolutely insane and I love that you are reacting to this amazing band! For band maid, definitely listen to more of their live videos, as they usually have great quality and display these wonderful girl having so much fun. On top of that, Misa has such nice bass lines. Another Band I would recommend would be One Ok Rock - specifically their live videos - as their song composition and band harmonies are out of this world. Their live shows display not only their insane crowds, but also the great interactions they have with their community. Thanks!
THE best live Rock band in the solar system. Not just some girls in frocks. Two members (MISA - Bass, Akane - Drums) are classically trained pianists and musicians who studied at the Tokyo Academy of Music while Kanami, the lead guitarist, has also been playing piano since the age of 3 or 4 but is concert standard (almost unbelievably, given her skills, she only switched to guitar about 10 years ago!) They all have superb musical ability as well as passion, a lack of ego and the drive to play real, in your face, Rock which is why they are THE best live Rock band on Earth right now. The only band I've seen that is playing live like bands I went to see in the 70's, such as Led Zeppelin or Sabbath or Zappa. Music they write themselves, real guitars, drums and bass played loudly and with passion as well as powerful Rock vocals. They are all really close friends and know how to have fun together on stage, confident as they are in each others’ abilities and skills. They've revived the classic Rock sound and given the genre a much needed kick in the ass, as Babymetal have done for Metal. Future reactions I'd recommend, as they really shine brightest live, would be from the DVD they released in April 2020. FREEDOM: th-cam.com/video/FHpuEqMAcDg/w-d-xo.html , PLAY: th-cam.com/video/3LxX_t4vg7U/w-d-xo.html , CHOOSE ME: th-cam.com/video/HcqitbXgigU/w-d-xo.html , DOMINATION: th-cam.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/w-d-xo.html and WONDERLAND: th-cam.com/video/x4hxLeHbqZo/w-d-xo.html , though they have superb music videos too (as you just saw!). PS Your incisors are coolAF (and considered highly desirable in Japan, where people even have implants to achieve it) as is your eye make-up.
First time here, I knew when I first saw you smile that you would connect with Saiki's smile. Welcome to Band Maid, hang on because it's gonna be a wonderful ride. May I recommend the music video, "Manners" from their latest album release earlier this year, it's a groove I think you'll like. Then there's "Domination" LIVE Feb14th 2020. Saiki- (Si-kee "The Princess") lead-vocals. Miku- (Mee-koo "Little Pigeon") back-up vocals, lyricist, rhythm guitar, band-founder. Kanami- (Kah-nah-mee "Mincho") shredding guitar, song writer. Akane- (Ah-kah-nee "Gorilla" drums. MISA- Mee-sah "The Barefoot Assassin") Bass, Jim Beam. First music video "Thrill" 2014 last album "Unseen World" 2021. More on the band here... band-maidfans.net/index.php/9-profiles/4-saiki Fun react Dgrl, you're a peach, hope your kitty is okay....cheers!
@@t-shinji Actually "Ice Queen" to be exact, but that was in the early days when she seemed so cold during interviews and such. Plus, Princesses are much more beautiful than Queens....Lol!
Misa! Misa! Misa! Holding the line in Solid Guitar Rock, Band Maid has picked up the Mantel of Rock'n'Roll where the West has left it behind! More Band Maid Always and.... Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
Well you are in luck if you want fantastic bass. MISA is one of the best! Check out Dice next. Gotta love that it virtually starts with a bass solo! Thrill, their first hit, also has a bass solo. They have a MV and live vid.
My 3 favourite Band-Maid performances are "Real Existence" live at the Zepp and "Play" and "Domination" both live at Line Cube Shibuya. I love their music videos, but their live performances are another level!
Welcome home so it only takes one song dosent matter what one your journey has just started and remember you have just listened to the living legends known as band maid oh and yes whisky that would be the barefoot assassin be well
Hi there DS.. New sub.. Your teeth are awesome, so are Saiki's.. Don't worry about the hate, there is plenty out there.. Glad you decided to watch Bandmaid.. Best live band out there at the moment.. So many songs to watch, can't wait to see more of your reactions to them.. Misa is one of the best rock bassists around, and every song of there's has a killer base line.. In fact, they are all brilliant musiciens so go for it and enjoy.. Best wishes from France..
Not the worst 2 songs to get pulled into the pigeon-hole of Band-Maid. :) But I just dare to say that these ladies will definitely surprise you a few more times on this journey. Not for nothing are they considered by many out there (yes, that includes me too) to be the best thing that could have happened to the rock genre in decades. Since I didn't miss the comment that your ears are 'slightly' bass oriented, I'll just throw the song names 'Onset' and 'Wonderland' into the mix as a recommendation. :) And with that, a warm welcome also from me to the wonderful world of Band-Maid. 🤘🏻 【 'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!' - Band-Maid 】🕊️
Welcome to the party! 🎼 Band Maid is indeed an amazing band and their videos live are great, but some of the their best performances are MV. The song "Daydreaming" is a MV that is a slower song and quite beautiful and the MV "Warning" which you just watched is also superior to the live Okyu-ji version they have recently put out. It's a matter of which format serves the song best - sometimes it'll be live, other times a well recorded MV (sometimes of a live show). Great reaction and looking forward to more •°. 🕊️____ PO!
Getting into B-M last year was like when I started S1 of GoT when everyone else was at S7...major binge and sensory overload. Delve into the variety of this band...and their rock n roll journey. Pretty awesome.
Saiki is the lead singer, and yes, she has the "double-toothed" prominent canines. It is considered a mark of beauty among many Japanese. The Band-Maid faithful have seen the occasional bully comment on her teeth and make fun of them, so we know a little of what you are talking about.
@@jonasw3945 I am not referring to the unhealthy "yaeba" anime pointy-tooth fad, but the Japanese tradition of finding beauty in nature's imperfections. Just as I think Kirsten Dunst's crooked smile is beautiful.
@@jonasw3945 Are you saying Saiki's teeth aren't natural and that it doesn't add to her beauty? Are you going to put them down and say that she should get braces as a few others have done? You seem to feel very strongly about this. Here is a video from Asian Boss on the subject that reflect the opinions and attitudes of regular Japanese people on the street. th-cam.com/video/op-KgSLO__U/w-d-xo.html
Your reaction is so much fun to watch. They are simply the best rock band currently on this old man's playlist! Old Mr. B turned me on to BandMaid. He is a 70 plus youtube reactor and is a Maidiac aka fan. New sub here. Won't be the last you see of me!
Thank you very much! I like your reaction so much because it is emotional and also well descriptive. Please enjoy LIVE version of Warning, but please trust me and try Secrets my lips. It is more like barad but still heavy and nasty. I recommend this because all other heavy/fast/intense ones other fans already introduce to you. Please enjoy Band-Maid world!!
Try reacting to After Life, Domination, Dice, and Blooming... Band Maid are my favourite band at the moment. Loved your reaction, a big thumbs up from me.
I am obsessed with this band. I love watching new reactions to their videos, and came across yours. This might be my favorite reaction to them yet. Subbed and going to check out your other vids!
If you ever keep doing Band-Maid I recommend doing some of their "actual" live performances? they get all their energy from the audience most of the time and it really is amazing!
Nice. If you're gonna give us a 2 for 1 again, you could serve up "Manners" and "Dice" which has 2 bass solos. Make up wise for your next Band-Maid try the Igari (Hungover) make up look which they use a lot, will go nicely with your red hair ; )
"The Barefoot Assassin" has claimed another victim. You are in for a treat with this bassist. Looking forward to you discovering more of MISA in the near future.
In Japanese culture, Saiki's teeth are considered a rare and beautiful thing, you would fit right in! Misa, Misa, Misa! Bass Goddess! Band-Maid members, Miku Kobato, known as the Small Pigeon, band creator, backing vocals, rhythm guitarist and she writes the lyrics. Kanami Tono, lead guitarist, and song writer. Misa, great bass player, known as the Barefoot Bass Assassin. Saiki Atsumi, lead singer, known as the Ice Queen. Akane, drummer extraordinaire, known as the Gorilla. Great band, period!
My favourite pick-me-up for the past couple years? Watching people react to Band-Maid (especially new discoverers)
All BAND-MAID have ever wanted is for their World Domination. I'm good with that :)
World Domination....That and horses, whisky, coffee, bananas, and Nikes ;)
@@stimproid ....& baby otters. MISA's greedy ;)
And "We have got to win" it
I mean, really. Is a little World Domination such a big thing to want? And if you can get it, why not?!
@@hardbros2021 And we'll be side by side with the Maids :)
There is nothing like Band Maid Live. Band Maid is Such a phenomenal Band. You have a Beautiful Smile🤗
Welcome to the world of BAND-MAID. The best live rock band out today. They combine rock, metal, punk, pop, jazz and progressive into a sound all their own. Check out live videos Play, Domination, Onset, Real Existence, Freedom etc etc etc but ANY video you choose will always put a smile on your face. Enjoy the ride!!
Was wondering when you would discover Band Maid! I did a year ago and have been hooked ever since. Dual vocals, extremely talented musicians, master lyricist and excellent compositions. Then throw in a genuine joy for performing and impeccable delivery. Play live comes to mind being the bass fan you are. Enjoy!
edit: After you listen once go back and turn on the CC, most of their newer material contain English translations.
If you wanna be a happy person, with a lot of positive energy, good vibes and be able to handle even the worst situations with a smile... Listen to Band-Maid!
Freedom, Domination, Dice, Thrill are a few. Watch live versions if possible. Onset is an instrumental that rocks also.
Yes that was a bottle of whisky. MISA, the bass player, also known as 'the barefoot assassin' is definitely ',hard core'!
Best band in the world.
MISA is hardcore?
She likes to drink quite a bit when performing
@@kintokigintoki9923 That makes many of us hardcore 🍶🍺 and it makes Curtis hardcore concentrated.
@@patron40silver If you have ever crewed for anyone who goes a bit too far... I was lucky my challenges most often came from fans, or hangers on AND being a local band little risk of being stranded far from home if anything went sideways.
@@MrDportjoe Whaaaa?!? 🤯 Are you that stalker guy, cause I don't understand what you just said?
MISA bass solo from pick to slap to pick to slap. It's hard to understand without slow playback, but it's magical.
She told her secret to the fan club members.
She also told the "secret" in quite a few interviews.
Misa Misa Misa!!
Wow! I loved your reaction to my favourite band. I've just turned 60 and have been going to gigs since I was 12, went to my first three day festival at the age of 14 and with a few notable exceptions I've seen pretty much all of the major rock acts since the 1970s - the exceptions being bands or artists who had either died or disbanded before I had a chance to see them perform (The Beatles, The Doors, Hendrix, Joplin, etc.) - and in my opinion Band Maid are easily the best band to have emerged over the past 40 odd years. They are five musical virtuosos who are incapable of writing a bad song and their unbelievably amazing chemistry together knocks spots off every other band I've seen in recent years. They've totally reignited my love of rock music and in my opinion they're the best rock band on the planet right now. Cheers from your new subscriber in the UK!
Absolute true!!
Why am I only getting this 6 hours after the premier? I'm shaking my 👆 at you, TH-cam. Thanks for reacting to, and sharing, BAND-MAID. Girls kicking ass!!
I’m into metal… how have I never heard of them? Reminds me of metal . I’m checkin them out more 😀
Band-Maid has metal elements in a lot of their songs, along with hard rock, punk and pop, but no screamo. They are simply their own genre.
@@johnmatthew102 Lamentarás no haberlas conocido antes, jejejeje
Because they are not a metal band. They play band-maid song.
They can do whatever they want because they are band-maid.
@@johnmatthew102 Maid Rock!
As others have mentioned, maybe because they don’t market themselves as a metal band. In fact they’ve specifically mentioned a few times that they are not a metal band, but they obviously incorporate many elements including metal ones into their music.
If you're a fan of really heavy gross and disgusting base lines, with great tone, this Girl is one of the best! I love how she curls the pick into her index finger when she slaps and pops. The switching is so fast, like sleight of hand.
It’s actually insane how well Misa is able to support the group while also standing out. I feel a lot of bands have bass lines that usually just follow the root notes in an eighth note fashion, and while there is nothing wrong with that, it can be a little underwhelming when trying to find something new.
Misa absolutely destroys the bass lines she creates, making them memorable and exciting. She also is able to these crazy lines into their songs, even if they seem really busy with a lot of other things going on.
On top of that, I feel that is a common them with Japanese bands, having memorable and interesting bass lines that are just different.
She’s like a magician. There’s a short video on their site where she shows how she does it. She’s so cool.
@@GeographRick i couldn't find it, can you link me?
5:08 That moment was so cute and heartwarming ♥ (even with that hard badass soundtrack going on 😎). One of the best BAND-MAID reactions so far 🤘
G'day Deadgrl. So happy you caught up with Band Maid, and a few rippers to start with. So much more to see - seven albums and a bunch of recorded concerts. To start lots of feel good live like 'Domination (live)', more bass in 'Dice', heavy riffs in 'Rinne' and 'Real Existence (live)'. Throw in a great ballad 'Daydreaming'. By the way both you and Saiki have great smiles - looking forward to seeing more of both.
Saiki is very proud of her smile, and when you see it, she glows. Wow. your enthusiam is so awesome. Maidiac who wandered over to see something new and you got a new fan. Thank you for sharing your joy
Great reaction...
If you like bass... Then Band-Maid is super great for you, the bass is up-front in the B-M and always doing something awesome.
And about fang teeth (in Japan they called it yaeba teeth)... It's considered cute in Japan... I read even some go under dental procedures to make artificially because they didn't have it.
Maybe because the Wabi-Sabi philosophy: appreciating beauty that imperfect.
Welcome to the Band-Maid Universe. So many songs to choose from the list. I mean literally they have 100 songs to choose from 7 albums so far ( 3 mini albums, 4 full albums).
The ones that i like is Moratorium (Live), Puzzle (Live), Rinne (MV), Blooming (MV), the non fiction days (MV), Freedom (Live), Domination (Live) just to name a few.
Nice!! Glad you really liked them! By the way, in Japan yours and Saiki's teeth are considered desireable, from an article, "In Japan, dental beauty trends are quite different, where a popular look
called Yaeba is desirable. Yaeba means “double tooth” in Japanese and
describes a sort of “fang effect” where teeth are crowded to the point
of pushing the incisors into a prominent display in the mouth. A multitude of dental “salons” in Japan offer cosmetic procedures by which dentists actually implant artificial teeth to induce overcrowding, forcing the incisors into a more prominent place in the mouth or adhering plastic covers to the tooth to lengthen and sharpen it.
One of the best reactions to Band Maid I have ever seen! You can tell that you genuinely "get it" and it's fun to watch. I suggest digging into their catalog as the music they produce is unparalleled in the music industry today. 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🙂🔥
There’s no “right” song to introduce yourself to band maid....but you REALLLLY picked a great pairing :). Both songs were off their newest album but there’s a lot more. And yes Saiki the lead singer has the same teeth as you and they look super awesome 😎
Wabi-sabi 😁
DS, in case you don't know what "wabi-sabi" is that patron mentioned, it a Zen Buddhist teaching that, in very simple terms means accepting imperfection or, in yourself and Saiki's case, finding beauty in imperfection!!! In Japan, having extra teeth is an attractive trait to a point that adding extra teeth cosmetically is a common practice and since I'm half Japanese, I will definitely agree😉!!!👍👍🤘🤘🤘

Welcome to the world of Band-Maid. Their music is truly incredible and I hope you continue listening to more. Their more recent videos all have captions on them if you ever want to check out what they're saying. Miku on rhythm guitar writes most of their lyrics and she's a real poet. She was also the one who thought to form the band, so we all owe her a debt for managing to bring all these ladies together. Usually for early listens I recommend the live video for "Domination" or the live video for "Real Existence", both on their channel.
It was so good to see you react to Band Maid! I remember your reaction to Babymetal "Death", one of the best reaction I had ever seen, I can't believe you had not listen to Band Maid, better late than never right? Band Maid has been around eight years now with the same line up, Miku, the back up singer and rhythm guitarist formed the band writes most of the lyrics, Kanami the lead guitarist writes most of the music, she also has been teaching Miku how to play the guitar, Akane is the drummer and is one of the best with her fills and change of pace, Misa plays the bass, she has a great ability to switch from picking to plucking or slapping the Bass. Saiki the lead singer was recruited by Miku to be the lead singer. What a great band, with many musical influences but at the heart of it all they are a rock band. They even have done some really good ballads like "About Us" which is pretty much a love letter to their fans showing how much they miss them because of this covid situation.
Normally I recommend live music from Band Maid like "Real Existence" or "Domination", anything from Band Maid you can find from their youtube site, knowing your taste you probably also like their music video "Rinne"...
I am sorry to hear about you getting bullied, I got bullied too, actually I have the same darn teeth, lol. I hate to say it because as a rule of thumb I am not a violent person but a bully is a bully until someone punches him in the face, that comes from personal experience... There is nothing wrong with your smile, it is beautiful like it is. I have seen reactors, especially beautiful lady reactors, with NICE STRAIGHT PERFECT TEETH say they loved Saiki's smile and her teeth. Great reaction, look forward to you checking out more Band Maid, Peace and take care...
Really enjoyed your reaction to Band Maid. Hope to see more. They are the best! Thank you.
The Bassist, " the bare foot assassin ", her name is Misa. She likes to sip a little, " Jim Beam ". Just like the rest of the band, she's one of the best😎 More please !
Misa, that rebel! Doesn't she know the that Jack Daniel's is the hardcore musician's drink of choice?? 😂 Then again... I'm in Tennessee, so I'm biased 😉😇

Welcome to the fandom! MISA is an amazing bassist. They have a great drummer (Akane) & guitarist (Kanami) too. ♥ Band Maid
I suggest the following Band Maid songs: Thrill, Dice, Manners, Bubble, Real Existence (live) & Domination (live)
Also most their recent vids have a subtitles (CC) option/button. Be sure to click it if you see it
Great reaction Ashley. It looks like another Maidiac was born tonight.
Saw these ladies in London in 2018 and was instantly hooked. One of the most enjoyable 2 hours I've spent at a gig. So hope this Covid thing ends soon so they can come back and see their ever growing army of fans all around the world....世界征服....World Domination!!!!!!😁
Ps. your teeth are beautiful...
They are straight 🔥. I recommend, for starters "After Life", "About Us", "Freedom" and "The Non- Fiction Life"
this is talent... and hard work, together it gives it.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh....... Your joy reminds me of my own, when I first listen to them in 2017. I’m truly happy they made you so bright and delighted. DAMN... I was smiling because of your infectious joy. You remind me of my sister’s reaction. Thank you for your channel and your honesty. Hello from Japan.
You are totally in for a wild ride.
Band Maid is such a great band. I just discovered them in 2021 too!
They will always put a smile on your face😎😎
Sick! It's always great to see people discover Band-Maid. I can't wait to see what you'll do next.
Ahhhh....I'm so jealous. You have SO MANY amazing songs by this band to experience. Wish I could go back and do it all again.
Hey, it was fun to watch you react to my favorite band. As far as suggestions, I always recommend their lives: Play (Live-former instrumental), Domination (Live-solos galore), Freedom (Live-extended drum solo), Onset (live-instrumental). For MV's: Rinne, Blooming and Manners. If you want to see their softer side, Ballads are : DAydreaming (MV), Wonderland (live) and About Us (Online Live-tribute to fans during covid). Peace Out!
Welcome to band-maid. My favorite band by far. They put out basically an album a year. And this years album was easily a 10 out of 10. Enjoy the ride
It was awesome to finally catch you live. Keep it up, you are awesome. Your smile is perfect BTW.
Please do more of band-maid; here are some suggestion:
Domination (live)
Onset (Live)
Non-fiction days (Music video)
Rinne (Music video)
Wonderful suggestions. :)
Play (Live) is a must
Watching your face expressions change from surprise, to awe, to silence, back to surprise. That's Band-Maid for you. Their music is a fun rollercoaster of twist and turns that keeps the adrenaline pumping.
First time seeing Band-Maid for me also. These girls can jam out that's for sure. I want to hear more, I like the first two songs, really good stuff. I liked the bass solo on No God also. As always great reaction Deadgrl.
You have to listen to more BAND-MAID songs🎀
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single BAND-MAID song. Bon voyage!
I first heard this band (Thrill) 4 or 5 months ago and have become just amazed at how good they are... they are all just great players.. and to top it all off... they are even better live!
From JAPAN ■ Introducing BAND MAID and the latest news. ■
■ They have over 100 fascinating songs. ■
Thank you for Reaction BAND MAID. BAND MAID is a 5-member girls rock band. 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 cool songs with a maid costume. That's why the band was named Band-Maid. "Thrill" (Studio version ) 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 19-22 years old. And then they have been doing LIVE overseas and increasing their fans. Now they are writing, composing and arranging all the songs. 38songs have been released on their official TH-cam, all of which are killer songs.
★ Since last year, they have added English lyrics to the video, full text in Japanese and English in the description.
★ Kobato Miku's solo project "cluppo" started on April 1st in April Fool's Day! "PEACE & LOVE" released
★ They started the video distribution service "Band-Maid Prime". There are many solo performance video.

If you like dirty bass, BAND-MAID is made for you. MISA is my favorite bass player and she's going to blow you away many more times.

7:29 Saiki has perfect teeth, you have perfect teeth ;)
🙏🏻🤘🏻
I loved your reaction. Thank you so much for that, and thank you for spreading the love for Band-Maid. They are saving rock music. My favourite track of theirs is 'Manners'. It's not as fast-paced as 'Warning' - more bluesy / jazzy, but still rocks and it has some interesting quirks.
I read in an interview with the bassist, MISA, that she wanted to be the best bassist she could ever be. To paraphrase her, when people ever thought about bass, she wanted them to think about her. So far, she's doing a great job. Everyone I read who tals about this band is raving about her bass playing.
Your teeth are just fine, by the way. If people need to pick on others because they feel bad about themselves, and don't have any other way to lift themselves up, they will just try to bring others down, so they will focus on anything that gets them a reaction, whether it's real or not. You're beautiful and passionate and real, so stay true and ignore the haters. Their opinions count for nothing. Their insults are more a reflection on how they feel about themselves than how they feel about you. I was bullied all through school too, so I know how it feels.
They play a large variety of songs, ALL of them are good. I don't know if you were aware but NO GOD is actually a totally live on line performance. That's how they are live and in front of an audience they light it up. They do some softer things too but they're excellent also. Right now Band Maid is the best rock band on the planet. Misa (bass) is called "the barefoot assassin" because she doesn't wear shoes when playing. She also likes drinking whiskey and beer on stage and if you can listen to her she pretty much plays lead bass under the guitar lead most of the time. Akane (drums) is called "the gorilla" by her band mates. Miku (rhythm gtr) writes most of the lyrics and actually started the band and Kanami (gtr) writes and arranges most of the music with input from the other members. Saiki (vox) actually acts as quality control when they're creating new material. They all have a part, they all get their own times to shine. Watch FREEDOM live first and then DOMINATION LIVE. Well, watch anything, as I indicated, they don't have a bad song. I'm an old guy (approaching) seventy) and hadn't really paid much attention to rock at all because it was stale. When I discovered Band Maid years ago they blew my socks off and I haven't looked back. There are a number of other really good all female Japanese bands but Band Maid is the total package. A couple more songs and you'll be hooked forever.
I just found this band and I ADORE THEM, thanks for this info!
@@thesilvershining if you watch them live and they gather around Akame (drums) they're actually goofing with her. They try to throw each other's timing off. In fact, if you watch audience recordings in small settings you'll really get a sense of how much they fool around and that they're really all friends. They're only all about 30/31 now and they started in 2013 so they were all fairly young when they started. Enjoy your journey of discovery.
@@topographic1973ify I find it so amusing that they can just go up to each other and mess around as if the world is their playground. It makes me enjoy seeing them perform so much more because it shows how much trust they have in not only themselves, but also in each other. It’s nice seeing them progress over the years, seeing them try and vary their style while still sticking to the maid thing.
@@kintokigintoki9923 well said.
I think warning and thrill live videos are a bit refined with post production but I remember that I was overjoyed that they nailed all the other songs from the new album, (including this. There's no post production for it, this is exactly how it sounded. ) they played onset and without holding back as well if I remember correctly. Pity that the live videos are not available (yet) 😢
Even without crowd they were so amazing I was knocked out!
Band maid is going to be a trip of nostalgia because every song just reminds you of every great old song but still remains fresh. Welcome to the bandmaniacs
Misa's bass is very prominent in many band-maid songs. She almost leads in some songs. And they also have songs where drums stands out. And everyone knows Kanami is genius so... Goes without saying, but don't forget Saiki's vocal and Miku's harmonization and how they all complement each other.
Great job, thank you. I´m glad that you enjoyed these songs. They are great musicians and composers.
THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO BAND MAID FROM Japan with LOVE 🙏
Welcome aboard, Deadgrl Superstar. You are embarking on (along with many others - 110 million YT views!) 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, Jazz, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Consistency (over 100 songs with their latest album, “Unseen World”), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destined 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 70 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: th-cam.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/w-d-xo.html Their later songs from albums Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, and Just Bring It drive even more - Warning, No God, H-G-K, Black Hole, Different, Rinne, 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, About Us, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, Mirage and Smile... or more punky like After Life, Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like Manners and The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or a bit jazzy like Wonderland… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts! And many are represented with over 35 well produced music videos. th-cam.com/users/BANDMAID
Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYU-JI concerts. 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 are excellent. Here’s four of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at super intimate venues. These two taken by Vladimir Chupin in Hamburg: th-cam.com/video/__1th7ctgMo/w-d-xo.html, and a fun, wonderful live performance in Amsterdam of Miku introducing "Don't You Tell Me" (with MISA & Kanami's great instrumental exchange) and "Turn Me On” (with MISA's solo intro): th-cam.com/video/kfYQoWBlSpk/w-d-xo.html. The next one was taken by JT Dayo in LA: th-cam.com/video/4uIYBkAybCI/w-d-xo.html, and finally by 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:
Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 27 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away her sometimes perceived, coldish persona. Saiki’s powerhouse performances, charisma, and voice focus the experience that’s driven her to the top echelon of hard rock frontwomen... or frontmen!
Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 29 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. Kuruppo! No, no, no… KURUPPO!!
Kanami Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 29 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, 30 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 “DrumZilla” is the Party!
MISA (Me-Sa) "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass, 28 years old. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin 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!

BAND-MAID - Enjoy your new favorite band.
Hi Ashley! Wonderful reaction to my favourite band. Much more amazingness to come! From a fellow Canadian (Montreal).
BAND MAID, the only band bringing rock back today! Not metal exactly just jumpin' jivin' hard rock! What other band could bring together an old man (me) and a young TH-camr (you) in enjoying the best thing to come around in rock music today! BAND MAID!!!!!
Live or video, no wrong moves with Band-Maid! Best hard rock band on the planet at the moment!
Yes!! Japanese bands are absolutely insane and I love that you are reacting to this amazing band! For band maid, definitely listen to more of their live videos, as they usually have great quality and display these wonderful girl having so much fun. On top of that, Misa has such nice bass lines.
Another Band I would recommend would be One Ok Rock - specifically their live videos - as their song composition and band harmonies are out of this world. Their live shows display not only their insane crowds, but also the great interactions they have with their community.
Thanks!
これが本当のjapanバンドですよ！、（営業のために作られたものでない、骨のある日本のミュージシャンの人たちです！！）
THE best live Rock band in the solar system. Not just some girls in frocks. Two members (MISA - Bass, Akane - Drums) are classically trained pianists and musicians who studied at the Tokyo Academy of Music while Kanami, the lead guitarist, has also been playing piano since the age of 3 or 4 but is concert standard (almost unbelievably, given her skills, she only switched to guitar about 10 years ago!) They all have superb musical ability as well as passion, a lack of ego and the drive to play real, in your face, Rock which is why they are THE best live Rock band on Earth right now. The only band I've seen that is playing live like bands I went to see in the 70's, such as Led Zeppelin or Sabbath or Zappa. Music they write themselves, real guitars, drums and bass played loudly and with passion as well as powerful Rock vocals. They are all really close friends and know how to have fun together on stage, confident as they are in each others’ abilities and skills. They've revived the classic Rock sound and given the genre a much needed kick in the ass, as Babymetal have done for Metal. Future reactions I'd recommend, as they really shine brightest live, would be from the DVD they released in April 2020. FREEDOM: th-cam.com/video/FHpuEqMAcDg/w-d-xo.html , PLAY: th-cam.com/video/3LxX_t4vg7U/w-d-xo.html , CHOOSE ME: th-cam.com/video/HcqitbXgigU/w-d-xo.html , DOMINATION: th-cam.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/w-d-xo.html and WONDERLAND: th-cam.com/video/x4hxLeHbqZo/w-d-xo.html , though they have superb music videos too (as you just saw!). PS Your incisors are coolAF (and considered highly desirable in Japan, where people even have implants to achieve it) as is your eye make-up.
First time here, I knew when I first saw you smile that you would connect with Saiki's smile. Welcome to Band Maid, hang on because it's gonna be a wonderful ride. May I recommend the music video, "Manners" from their latest album release earlier this year, it's a groove I think you'll like. Then there's "Domination" LIVE Feb14th 2020.
Saiki- (Si-kee "The Princess") lead-vocals. Miku- (Mee-koo "Little Pigeon") back-up vocals, lyricist, rhythm guitar, band-founder. Kanami- (Kah-nah-mee "Mincho") shredding guitar, song writer. Akane- (Ah-kah-nee "Gorilla" drums. MISA- Mee-sah "The Barefoot Assassin") Bass, Jim Beam. First music video "Thrill" 2014 last album "Unseen World" 2021. More on the band here... band-maidfans.net/index.php/9-profiles/4-saiki Fun react Dgrl, you're a peach, hope your kitty is okay....cheers!
Saiki is usually dubbed “The Queen”.
@@t-shinji Actually "Ice Queen" to be exact, but that was in the early days when she seemed so cold during interviews and such. Plus, Princesses are much more beautiful than Queens....Lol!
Misa! Misa! Misa!
Holding the line in Solid Guitar Rock, Band Maid has picked up the Mantel of Rock'n'Roll where the West has left it behind!
More Band Maid Always and....
Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
Well you are in luck if you want fantastic bass. MISA is one of the best! Check out Dice next. Gotta love that it virtually starts with a bass solo! Thrill, their first hit, also has a bass solo. They have a MV and live vid.
Dice is great for bass
My 3 favourite Band-Maid performances are "Real Existence" live at the Zepp and "Play" and "Domination" both live at Line Cube Shibuya. I love their music videos, but their live performances are another level!
Welcome home so it only takes one song dosent matter what one your journey has just started and remember you have just listened to the living legends known as band maid oh and yes whisky that would be the barefoot assassin be well
Band Maid is amazing! Freedom is one of my favorites. Also, anyone griefing you for your smile needs to kick rocks!
Great reaction. Welcome to a truly amazing band. Snaggleteeth are beautiful - nuff' said. :)
Woooo!! BAND-MAID!!!!
Hi there DS.. New sub.. Your teeth are awesome, so are Saiki's.. Don't worry about the hate, there is plenty out there.. Glad you decided to watch Bandmaid.. Best live band out there at the moment.. So many songs to watch, can't wait to see more of your reactions to them.. Misa is one of the best rock bassists around, and every song of there's has a killer base line.. In fact, they are all brilliant musiciens so go for it and enjoy.. Best wishes from France..
More Band Maid! Great reaction!
Welcome to the world of Band-Maid!
They are amazing live as well !
Not the worst 2 songs to get pulled into the pigeon-hole of Band-Maid. :) But I just dare to say that these ladies will definitely surprise you a few more times on this journey. Not for nothing are they considered by many out there (yes, that includes me too) to be the best thing that could have happened to the rock genre in decades.
Since I didn't miss the comment that your ears are 'slightly' bass oriented, I'll just throw the song names 'Onset' and 'Wonderland' into the mix as a recommendation. :)
And with that, a warm welcome also from me to the wonderful world of Band-Maid. 🤘🏻
【 'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!' - Band-Maid 】🕊️
Band-Maid are the best musical act on the planet today. There, I said it. I'll bet I don't get beaten up on that either, 'cause we're Maidiacs here.
Yeah! they are GOOOD!:
They are one of my favourite bands.
And bass, Misa, one of the musicians i follow
Bass from MISA always feeds the soul.
Welcome to the party! 🎼 Band Maid is indeed an amazing band and their videos live are great, but some of the their best performances are MV. The song "Daydreaming" is a MV that is a slower song and quite beautiful and the MV "Warning" which you just watched is also superior to the live Okyu-ji version they have recently put out. It's a matter of which format serves the song best - sometimes it'll be live, other times a well recorded MV (sometimes of a live show). Great reaction and looking forward to more •°. 🕊️____ PO!
Getting into B-M last year was like when I started S1 of GoT when everyone else was at S7...major binge and sensory overload. Delve into the variety of this band...and their rock n roll journey. Pretty awesome.
Saiki is the lead singer, and yes, she has the "double-toothed" prominent canines. It is considered a mark of beauty among many Japanese. The Band-Maid faithful have seen the occasional bully comment on her teeth and make fun of them, so we know a little of what you are talking about.
Not really a mark of beauty but was considered a cute thing in the late 2000s with young people, not anymore sadly.
@@jonasw3945 I am not referring to the unhealthy "yaeba" anime pointy-tooth fad, but the Japanese tradition of finding beauty in nature's imperfections. Just as I think Kirsten Dunst's crooked smile is beautiful.
@@johnmatthew102 Yeah it's just that these teeths are not part of Japanese tradition.
@@jonasw3945 Are you saying Saiki's teeth aren't natural and that it doesn't add to her beauty? Are you going to put them down and say that she should get braces as a few others have done? You seem to feel very strongly about this. Here is a video from Asian Boss on the subject that reflect the opinions and attitudes of regular Japanese people on the street. th-cam.com/video/op-KgSLO__U/w-d-xo.html
I don't care if she has the vampire fangs or not. It's Saiki 😻
Ok next Band-Maid reaction must be a triple vid: Onset (live) + Domination (live) + Freedom (live).
This trio is my go-to Band-maid stuff!
BAND-MAIDの良さを語ってくれてありがとう😁！ from Japan！
Wow, I felt the same way about that bass solo. Holy crap
Saw the notification you were going live a little late 😕 Love this live reaction! Awesome 👍👍
Welcome to the world of Band Maid, the greatest hard rock band on earth nowadays.
MISA MISA MISA!
Your reaction is so much fun to watch. They are simply the best rock band currently on this old man's playlist! Old Mr. B turned me on to BandMaid. He is a 70 plus youtube reactor and is a Maidiac aka fan. New sub here. Won't be the last you see of me!
One thing I know about Band Maid, they never had any bad song, so far,
Thank you very much! I like your reaction so much because it is emotional and also well descriptive. Please enjoy LIVE version of Warning, but please trust me and try Secrets my lips. It is more like barad but still heavy and nasty. I recommend this because all other heavy/fast/intense ones other fans already introduce to you. Please enjoy Band-Maid world!!
Try reacting to After Life, Domination, Dice, and Blooming... Band Maid are my favourite band at the moment. Loved your reaction, a big thumbs up from me.
I am obsessed with this band. I love watching new reactions to their videos, and came across yours. This might be my favorite reaction to them yet. Subbed and going to check out your other vids!
If you ever keep doing Band-Maid I recommend doing some of their "actual" live performances? they get all their energy from the audience most of the time and it really is amazing!
Nice. If you're gonna give us a 2 for 1 again, you could serve up "Manners" and "Dice" which has 2 bass solos. Make up wise for your next Band-Maid try the Igari (Hungover) make up look which they use a lot, will go nicely with your red hair ; )
"The Barefoot Assassin" has claimed another victim. You are in for a treat with this bassist. Looking forward to you discovering more of MISA in the near future.
My favorite band of the last almost 5 years! love them so much!! The "Maidiacs" show up for reviews! :D
In Japanese culture, Saiki's teeth are considered a rare and beautiful thing, you would fit right in! Misa, Misa, Misa! Bass Goddess! Band-Maid members, Miku Kobato, known as the Small Pigeon, band creator, backing vocals, rhythm guitarist and she writes the lyrics. Kanami Tono, lead guitarist, and song writer. Misa, great bass player, known as the Barefoot Bass Assassin. Saiki Atsumi, lead singer, known as the Ice Queen. Akane, drummer extraordinaire, known as the Gorilla. Great band, period!
thanks - that was awesome BM4vr.
Ow ye, bass wise, I like their bass groove in DICE
I get PANIC! At the disco vibes from Warning! At the intro. But then it just becomes more awesome.
