Take Me Higher is one of their heaviest songs, and in this live version, Kanami is filling this song with her amazing guitar work all the way through. They've decided to remove the bass-guitar conversation from it, which was one of the highlights in all the concerts during the last year. You'll have to check that "conversation" sometime in future, definitely. But in this version, it's absent. But so much is added in its stead, o my...
You're so right about Saiki, off stage she's cold and quite aloof. Then she gets the mic in her hand and she switches on and just oozes charisma. When I saw them live in London last November I couldn't take my eyes off her (even though Misa had been my favourite up until then). Can't wait for all the reactions. They just released a new vid 2 days ago. "endless Story". Well worth a listen, very polished and quite a sophisticated vibe. 😁
Recently, Saiki has been way more smiling and relax even off stage - I easily made her laugh (and Misa too) during the meet & greet in Bochum (Germany concert) - no coldness at all! But you're right: on stage she has a incredible charisma that no video was able to catch untill recently (watch Hambourg "Logo" videos to see what I mean) - I've seen tons of great frontman & woman in concert and she's easily amongst the best ones, very confortable with the audience.
@@jumpingpeppers2263 Trivia: I was actually filming when it happened! But I was so stunned that I completely forget my camera and put it away, so I only recorded the sound - luckily, there's at least three recordings by audience members. No need to say how high I praise this moment!
@@realdocloco Lucky you... That actually showcased their great personalities very brightly. Oh man... they've decided to return the bag, which they, of course, did not need for themselves, but which is a collectable for any fan. Such a perfect integrity and a high sense of justice! Very rarely you see a musician who could serve as a role model, most of the great rock stars were actually quite nasty people in everyday life. @K Darlings, if you wonder what we are talking about, watch this video: th-cam.com/video/oZO4QYFEPK8/w-d-xo.html It's a 7 minutes break in the middle of the Bochum/Germany show, where they are just having a rest, probably because they were tired from the London gig the day before. Miku is talking (her English has improved significantly over the last year), and succeeds in making other members of the band talk as well. Usually, they try to escape such invitations from Miku, she chases them with a microphone on stage, and they hide behind amplifiers, each other, and other scenic objects :-) But in Bochum, they were very much relaxed, for some reason. We've seen an unheard-of phenomenon: MISA came to the microphone and talked! :-) And then, of course, that incredible thing of returning BAND-MAIKO bag to Doc Loco... That was fantastic. And then somebody threw a teddy bear on stage... That turned to be cute in the end, but the fans were actually alarmed post factum, because throwing things on stage is a bad practice, and we don't want irresponsible fans to pick up this habit. Thanks a lot for your wonderful reactions! I sincerely enjoy them.
Saiki's mom has even commented about how different she seems. She has seen videos of Saiki on stage, and Saiki on stage is super different than Saiki day-to-day. And, Misa's mom has commented that Saiki's princess personality is the real deal; it's not just an affectation for the band.
Nice job K Darlings-po! This interview gets even better during part 2. There are no "official" videos for the two songs in the second part, so I suggest you keep your headphones on and just enjoy the music.
I thought the same. Why would you miss the opportunity to react to the songs played during this interview? It would be a legitimate reaction, like any other you do. What you say about "reacting to them in the future," is a bit funny, believe me, because you still have 70+ songs to react to, and by the time you cover the basics, there will be a new album published in December, and there will be at least 20 more songs to react to. Don't worry, you'll be busy for a year or two, if you react only to the BAND-MAID songs :-) And if you cover their interviews as well... it will be 10 years :-)
I agree with the other commenters that Saiki seems to have relaxed a lot lately in some of the live videos. Even Misa doesn't seem quite as shy. And Kanami has gotten wilder. At one of the recent Japan shows she took a swig of whiskey from Misa's bottle. And Miku is still completely nuts - po.
The song at the beginning is "Alone". The first song they made entirely. Composition, lyrics and arrangements. It's a top five if you are curious about it. The MV is fantastic.
It's not just the music and performance of the Band, the persoanlities hook you even more... The soba bowls are small, for the Soba challenge, think along the line of a small bite. Miku is also part of a few videos from Japan in Motion that are highly enjoyable as well, if you want to fall down the hole even further.
@@realdocloco That's the one 🙂 I think Akane would also make a really good host, but it's really funny watching people's reactions to Miku. They can't figure her out, and she stands out so much.
The second part of the interview is the most informative part. This band is definitely like a variety show, which is one of the reasons why they're so entertaining during live performances. Looking forward to more band-maid stuff. Extra info: Miku is 5'1''. She is also the oldest member of the band. Saiki is the youngest. Misa is very shy, but she is the troll of the band. Akane's appetite is a reoccurring joke that you will see more of in the future. Song recommendations: anything live, including fancams.
Glad you did these interviews, these were from about 3 years ago, so the outfits have changed over time. I'm beginning to believe that Miku really is a small pigeon, she's just floating above the rest of us having a great time.
Hard not to love this adorable quintet of rock stars. They are so cute and quirky and lovably nerdy and of course, just so damn talented. I'll be checking out more of your B-M reactions! Po!
There is an excellent two minute interview on TH-cam listed as Band-Maid 4. Miku explains how when they started they all dressed up as "standard" maids but as time passed they have become "barbed maids". She also describes taking song after song to their former record label only to be told no over and over again. She goes on to explain how that has all changed now. Very informative. Can't wait to see them in LA.
The female interviewer on Music Gold Rush is the sister of one of the members of the singing trio, Perfume. The guy is a former member of a rock band who is now a professional comedian.
Wow, you have more willpower than me -- no way I could have taken those earphones out when "alone" started up! It's a fun interview, but it's also amazing how much they've changed since then. It's only been 3 years, but they've really developed and matured, both musically and in their interviews... well, except for Miku, who has not aged a day and is exactly the same character whenever you see her, on stage or off (well, she has actually matured a lot musically, but her personality is eternal).
Hi! Im Pete from New Mexico. Ive been enjoying Band Maid at least a couple years now and I love them. They are all amazing! Yes, the emphasis on pronouncing Akane is on the second syllable - a KA' ne. Great reaction K darlings, I love it too! Sayonara!
I'm so tempted to go watch part 2 on my own right now! I wanna hang out with them so bad! On a side note, I want to let you know that I could barely hear you while the music was playing. It would be great if you could do something about it. Hugs!
9:30 For your information, when Akane mentions that she ate 120 bowls of "Wanko-Soba", the portion in one bowl is about one "mouthful" of soba. Although the bowls are quite small, stuffing 120 portions is quite a lot. Drummers must be burning a lot of calories.
'Wanko soba' It is one of the soba that comes to Iwate Prefecture (Hanamaki, Morioka). A style that puts a bite-sized soba filled with hot soba soup into the bowl of the customer, and every time it finishes eating, the waiter keeps putting soba in the bowl one after another until the customer is full and the lid is closed Is the basis. th-cam.com/video/-swTJbyx1FE/w-d-xo.html
I didn't see anyone comment on this so I thought I'd just add it. Then the MC said that he ate many plates of sushi "private de" (privately), this doesn't mean secretly or anything like that... it means that it was on his own time and not part of work (these people often do eat somewhere with cameras rolling etc to make tv shows) Also, wanko soba has smaller than normal portions that people often race against others to eat as quickly as possible. After 20+ bowls, it gets really filling. It says the average is 50 bowls but Akane did 120 bowls -- way more than most people's max. Wanko soba is probably like a fifth of the size of a regular bowl of soba. You can probably find videos on youtube of people competing in wanko soba speed eating competitions. In those cases, staff are there to constantly refill your bowl with another, another, another portion of soba noodles.

This was great! I have actually never watched pt 1, but I knew all of this over time. It's true, Part 2 is more informative, but this is a good intro. One thing I find interesting is the birthdays. Kanami and Misa are Libra(Air). Akane is Saggitarius(Fire). Saiki is Aquarius(Air). And Miku is a Cusp, Libra/Scorpio(Air/Water). Cusp people are very active, are very different and hard to understand. Air signs are the smart signs( A lot of Air here), Fire signs are more coordinated than the others. Water is emotional.
@@VladimirChupin There are a lot of things in astrology I don't believe. I have read a lot of old school books on the subject. I just like to think that there are planetary influences that make us all unique. Along with other factors.
@@VladimirChupin I would also like to add that many air signs appear to be air heads. I find it very interesting that the air signs all tend to like each other and thus the Kanami/Saiki connection. Libra is common sense smart and Aquarians are the geniuses or crazies(They can go either way). Gemini is book smart.
@@VladimirChupin Also, I would love to tell them this at the meet and greet, but the language barrier would be too much to overcome, so I will probably just quietly meet and greet.
@@kirkscott2 Mmmmm... Astrology for me was always synonymous with grift. I understand that people may love it just for the sake of fun, in the same way as they talk about Harry Potter's-style magic, but there are so many people who tip over that edge and start to take it serious, that I am rather concerned about such amusements. It's like with alcohol. People enjoy it, and develop a whole gourmet industry around it, and it all seems fine... until you see the father of your wife in his two-week drinking bout, when he steals all money from the house, escapes to the street and drinks there with the bums... Whatever. Sorry for the off-topic.
If you girls want to know more about them, you can go to Reddit and search their Mook that translated by a kind man in the community. Please check it out.
This isn't spelled out in the video because it's obvious in Japanese. The characters that make up Miku's surname are: 小鳩. The first character, 小, means "small." The second character, 鳩, is pigeon or dove. Together, it is "small pigeon," but it is read as "Kobato." (Each character has different pronunciations depending on context, like 小 is read as "shou" in 小学校 (shougakkou, or elementary school.) And, it's a stage name. "Ppo" is the onomatopoeia for the sound pigeons make in the Japanese language, rather than "coo" in the English language. Like Japanese cats say "nyah, " and Japanese dogs say "wan wan."
If you like to react to other stuff, rather than just songs, here's bit from a gig in London last year, which starts with Miku talking to the crowd, and ends with all the band having a go on the drums. th-cam.com/video/x6iSf73LiQ0/w-d-xo.html . It shows their nature on stage, and just how much they enjoy being there. The first two minutes after the intro are hard to understand, as Miku rattles off a lot of Japanese - presumably deliberately for fun (knowing the crowd won't understand) as it's 100% English after that. You can still pick out little bits of English in those first minutes though.
th-cam.com/video/-qQnKILR5u0/w-d-xo.html reaccionen a esta muy buena cancion real existence cave destacar q este tema lo tocan casi terminando su concierto y aun asi siguen llenas de energia muy buenos videos un abrazo desde chile espero su proxima reaccion ... en el video anterior tambien deje unos buenos temas para q escuchen.
Your so much louder than the vid even just talking quietly amongst your selfs you completely drown it out meaning I have to have the volume up full and you only have to get the least bit excited and its deafening. You must get your volume balance right. This interview was a long time ago and I think Saiki has had a voice operation since then anyway she doesn't sound like Al Jolson any more.
One thing I found strange in this interview was them calling Miku, Karuppo, which is just a pigeon noise she makes. Japanese do not accent syllables. So you say it very evenly, Ahh-Kah-Nay.
One terrible disadvantage of English is that you can't reproduce the sound with its spelling. Thank God, there's Google Translate. Just listen to this one: translate.google.com/#view=home&op=translate&sl=en&tl=ja&text=akane-san I've added "-san" at the end, this way it sounds more proper.
Here's something that relates to a link I sent you before on my other channel(R.Gray)-(It went to spam this time). If you get around to watching the Dimash backstage at Singer video "First Impressions - etc." you'll see both Tia Ray and Jam Hsiao (of the Lion Band). I just came across this video of the 3 of them singing together on a Chinese TV show : th-cam.com/video/PbtwQxVtTNE/w-d-xo.html
@@chrisbergsten1429 I don't know what to tell you, other than you're wrong. You're probably pronouncing it with an American accent, like this: th-cam.com/video/MxBZUdDVtLk/w-d-xo.html The way I described it, it's the correct Japanese way of saying her name. Watch some interviews, you'll hear the difference.
@@chrisbergsten1429 translate.google.com/#view=home&op=translate&sl=en&tl=ja&text=akane-san If you want to hear how she herself pronounces her name, here it is: th-cam.com/video/8Nq_reJB4SY/w-d-xo.html Germans actually were screaming her name correctly, only the stress was a bit wrong: she corrected us, and said her name is Akáne, with the stress on the second syllable.
@@jumpingpeppers2263 I was thinking about it, and was actually a bit surprised when Akane corrected us in this regard. Especially when you chant something in a crowd, all syllables are evenly stressed... well, more or less. If we would scream "Akáne," with the stress the way she put it, the rhythm of that chant would be entirely different, of course.
Thank you great reaction. Part 2 please.
"OGATA-SAN ?????" - kills me everytime
They're all very charming.
Even if they're exaggerating their personalities a bit for TV.
And sweet, shy Kanami has been going wild on stage lately.

Your so much louder than the vid even just talking quietly amongst your selfs you completely drown it out meaning I have to have the volume up full and you only have to get the least bit excited and its deafening. You must get your volume balance right. This interview was a long time ago and I think Saiki has had a voice operation since then anyway she doesn't sound like Al Jolson any more.
One thing I found strange in this interview was them calling Miku, Karuppo, which is just a pigeon noise she makes. Japanese do not accent syllables. So you say it very evenly, Ahh-Kah-Nay.
@T Zero Karuppo also became a Miku nickname because she made that sound so much.
One terrible disadvantage of English is that you can't reproduce the sound with its spelling. Thank God, there's Google Translate. Just listen to this one: translate.google.com/#view=home&op=translate&sl=en&tl=ja&text=akane-san
I've added "-san" at the end, this way it sounds more proper.
Here's something that relates to a link I sent you before on my other channel(R.Gray)-(It went to spam this time). If you get around to watching the Dimash backstage at Singer video "First Impressions - etc." you'll see both Tia Ray and Jam Hsiao (of the Lion Band). I just came across this video of the 3 of them singing together on a Chinese TV show :

Here's an easy way of pronouncing Akane's name (it seems to be the one you're struggling with most).
a - (a)rmy
ka - (ca)r
ne - (ne)ver
@@chrisbergsten1429 The last syllable on "Akane" is pronounced exactly like the first syllable in "never". I have no idea what you're on about.
@@chrisbergsten1429 I don't know what to tell you, other than you're wrong.
You're probably pronouncing it with an American accent, like this: th-cam.com/video/MxBZUdDVtLk/w-d-xo.html
The way I described it, it's the correct Japanese way of saying her name. Watch some interviews, you'll hear the difference.

If you want to hear how she herself pronounces her name, here it is: th-cam.com/video/8Nq_reJB4SY/w-d-xo.html Germans actually were screaming her name correctly, only the stress was a bit wrong: she corrected us, and said her name is Akáne, with the stress on the second syllable.
@@VladimirChupin The Japanese language is all evenly stressed.
@@jumpingpeppers2263 I was thinking about it, and was actually a bit surprised when Akane corrected us in this regard. Especially when you chant something in a crowd, all syllables are evenly stressed... well, more or less. If we would scream "Akáne," with the stress the way she put it, the rhythm of that chant would be entirely different, of course.
