It is truly amazing how a band came from humble beginnings can compose a wonderful piece like this, and *Miku* the rhythm guitarist started playing guitar back in 2014. In the beginning there was a small pigeon 🐦 who met a guitarist 🎸 who played with a drummer 🥁 who went to school with the bassist 🎸 and then tricked the singer 🎤 to join the band then the small pigeon 🐦 asks the guitarist 🎸 please teach me how to play the guitar 🎸. The Story Continues.
There is an electronic backing track, they often use them to get a background wall of sound... but I think it's Miku's rhythm guitar at the place you indicate... However, in the outro part, you can clearly hear the synth, slightly above the bass line, and below the Kanami guitar. I like that part, when Misa and Miku continue the "default" melody, the synth doubles it, and Kanami plays above it, an atypically "calm" solo for her. I actually like the whole song, how it grows…
I can hear the whooshing sound that sweeps in and out in the earlier parts. Not as clear as in the studio recording...which alarms me when listening in the car...makes me look around thinking a storm has arrived 😁
First heard this shortly after I discovered Band-Maid 3 years ago, Awkward along with the previous song Matchless Gum drove me to find and buy the special edition that this concert is on. Great review/reaction. Thank you.
Excellent analysis as always. You always point out a few things no one else has mentioned. You should give a listen to the live version of Play on their channel. It is one of their favorite songs to play Live. It has a lot of crowd interaction along with plenty of unique elements to keep it interesting. I did check out a couple of covers. I was impressed by the versatility of your voice.
There’s definitely a backing track. Some electric effects, which are pretty quiet even through headphones, and those shimmer effects in the transitions add a lot! 🤘
Great reacción, I love this song.👍 Have you heard "YOLO" yet?... it's my favorite Maids song, a straightforward rock song full of great riffs and an original songwriting treatment.😜
Dude !!!!!!!! That was my first shout out !!!!!! YAH !!!!!! LoL. Glad you liked it....Thank you.....Next up...Freezer...no video but one of the best BM songs ever. I think there is a photo collage video is really good. If you need the video check out the LIVE version of Real Existence. or PLAY. Two of the best LIVE performances of Band Maid. And thank you again !!!!!
This was from the Studio Coast live DVD, recorded in Nov 2017 and was available as a limited edition bonus disk for the Feb. 2018 'Just Bring it' album. Live at Tokyo Zepp DVD/Blue-ray was recorded in April 2018 and was also only available as a limited edition. There was also several live clips from their Jan 9, 2017 Akasaka BLITZ concert that was available in very limited quantities as a Pre-release. The "Instrumental Maid" channel has postings of 'Take Me Higher', 'Real Existence' & 'The Non-Fiction Days'. None of this older live material has been in print for quite a while. Clips occasionally come up.
Hey kitsune! Good react again for a great song. I would like to suggest that you can react to another of my favorite bands, which is not Japanese, but Mexican, The Warning. I recommend Dust to dust/Dull knives live!! You're going to love them, see you! 🤟🦊🇯🇵🔥🔥🔥

i dont hear an electronic backing track. i hear miku strumming. I love this song. The way it builds from the start to the end is lovely
There’s definitely a backing track. Some electric effects, which are pretty quiet even through headphones, and those shimmer effects in the transitions add a lot! 🤘

Thanks Jaron--nice analysis! Band Maid is what beautiful rock music sounds like. Cheers.

There was no guitarist who gave me goosebumps after I found SRV in the 80s, except for Kanami Tono, the lead guitarist and main composer of Band-Maid😉
