Band Maid will always just play any style of song they want - hence that final lyric, listen again! Despite being laid back its always a little more complex than it seems, on the edge of of jazzy with a hopeful edge. I get the feeling the MV itself is a little plain, possibly melodramatic, puts some off.
Love this song. It's still classic Band-Maid especially the heavily layered chord progression and crescendo towards the outro. With the piano intro and pop-jazz fusion vibe it's a winner for me. I hear more jazz influence in this song because I was right into 90s jazz, acid jazz, jazz-funk, jazz-blues, nu-jazz, jazz-rock, etc.
I got my first taste of Japanese music when we had a 22 year old Japanese girl live with us for a year. One day she connected her portable MD recorder to our hi-fi and played a mixed disc with Japanese Reggae, Pop and Metal. Since then my hd is full of foreign artists from around the world, like you I say it's a real shame we miss out on all this great music from around the world just because it's not in English.
You’ve probably missed the last line of lyrics Saiki sang…😊 This song was actually A-side of a single. The song on B-side is one of heavy side of their song “screaming”, which you should definitely check out.
They should be more popular, but even in Japan are not. Many reasons that are not in our control. Let's just enjoy their music and be grateful that TH-cam can provide exposure of a wide variety of talents. I would never have discovered Band Maid without TH-cam.
Oh, how I agree with you that the song deserves more recognition and is perhaps their most radio-friendly track. 👍🏻 Only Saiki's last words would probably have to be cut, which would be a shame. 😂 I'm sure you've already gotten a hint or two about it, but just to be sure, the ladies made an appearance at this year's 'Genshin Concert' a few days ago and covered the song 'Dawn Winery Theme' from the game there. Trust me, it's worth it. Classic meets Band-Maid is brilliant! 🤘🏻 _____________________ 「 _'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!'_ 」 --- *BAND-MAID* 'Manners' 🕊
I love Band-Maid's "Start Over" because I'm into great writing, playing and well-constructed songs. But the jewelry store ad MV... not so much. Songs like Daydreaming, About Us, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, Wonderland, Awkward, Start Over, Mirage, At the Drop of a Hat and Smile can help them more than most of their catalog to become more approachable and widely accepted by the general public. Look at the tens to hundreds of millions of views idol, hip hop and pop receive. You don't have to be hard core anything to bob and weave to a lot of these manufactured, ah... "songs?" I'm afraid the kind of songs I love, Band-Maid, The Warning and Jinjer type songs, will remain a tiny, tiny niche -- like a sea slug in the ocean of teaming pop life. BTW - Start Over sounded awesome in their online live OOJ Concert. And it gets great fan reaction as seen here in Amsterdam: :th-cam.com/video/AGyWuUm0SIA/w-d-xo.html (Fanvid thanks to Vladimir Chupin) Thx, Jim!
Yep, happens to me all the time. That and getting notifications 8 hours after whatever it is was uploaded. In fact that it is always 8 hours and happens so often it's uncanny.
Unfortunately language will always be their barrier to the States. Only real music lovers/musicians love Band-Maid and most listeners of monopolized American FM are ummm....well........let's just say they're not.

Thank you! I did miss that.

It is indeed a lovely song. You missed Saiki's f-bomb on the last line!
Composed specifically for Karaoke by Miku's request, because she's a bright pigeon.
I enjoyed your reaction Jim, I agree that it is a style of song that should be able to gain traction over here. Thanks and chat soon!
Thanks Jim!

Algorithm not doing you any favours on this one. Even when I search band maid reaction and sort by "today" only it still doesn't show up. TH-cam why!
Yep, happens to me all the time. That and getting notifications 8 hours after whatever it is was uploaded. In fact that it is always 8 hours and happens so often it's uncanny.
