Imho, Akane is the best drummer on the planet, and Misa is the best bassist. With Miku, they form the most impressive rhythm section of any band I've ever heard - incredibly tight, God-tier transition work, while also being supremely expressive and ultra-creative. Kanami is, of course, a genius. Saiki is a wonderfully soulful, powerful, and flexible vocalist. With Miku, the two of them produce the best vocal harmonization of any hard rock band, ever. So it is no surprise that they are my all-time favourite band. Thanks for this reaction. I'd never heard this instrumental before. Truly awesome!!
My most listened to song ever...and the MV is great with the vocals. A perfect song. Their music got even more complex later and they released an instrumental version of album Unseen World...this opening a window on what was going on, many things hidden by the vocals. It was great of them do this limited edition.
No matter how the Dice falls, Band-Maid is an influential, trendsetting, major force in the music scene! Their huge 17,000 seat Yokohama Arena concert on Nov. 26, 2023 will be a spectacular 10-year celebration and launch party to the next 10 years of Maid Domination. Thx, RoCa!
Great reaction..! I like your style.. I really like these instrumental versions.. watching Kanami shred in her own little world is awesome.. she is such a talent..!
Thank you very much! She is one of a kind, isn't she? She seems so serious sometimes live until she kicks that leg or shakes her head and then she's a full on Rock Guitarist - so to speak - since she's always a world class guitarist whether she moves or not. Thanks for visiting and the comment!
Thanks for this one, I always hear something new each time I listen to this. The one thing that stands out for me is just how good Miku has become in such a short time.
Well said! My place in Rock bands was always as a Rhythm Guitarist and Lead or alternate singer so I have a special place in my heart for Miku! To watch her juggle her talents with such ease is amazing! Thanks for the comment.
Great comments, thanks! I also like these instrumental versions, mainly I think because they seem to pay more attention to audio engineering. Especially in areas where album recordings (even some live recordings) fail, like keeping all the channels balanced and maintaining stereo separation between Miku and Kanami.
Absolutely! It might work well as a title track for an action movie too! I'm just glad they did this and wish more bands would. Thanks for the comment!
Actually she's both. Her full name is Saiki Atsumi. Since many Japanese prefer to be called by the second name (such as the guitarist/singer Miku Kobato who always specifies in interviews to be addressed as Kobato). To many Japanese the first name is reserved only for close friends and can be taken as a sign of disrespect. Still, as world musicians, I am sure they understand most fans mean no disrespect and so are accustomed to it. AND, I'm an idiot for pointing this out since I use both from time to time. Try to ignore me. I've been up all night. lol. Thank you for the comment and your visit! I appreciate all the help I can get.
Band-Maid rarely blocks reaction videos. If you are doing a real reaction and not spamming for views or asking for money, the Ladies enjoy watching reactions to their music, in fact they have actually identified certain reactors at live shows here in the US, Mr Rock and Roll is one in particular, that the Ladies all get a kick out of watching his videos. So as long as you keep it real, you shouldn't have any problem with reacting to any Band-Maid song.
Obviously I should have said "Saiki" not "Asumi". I apologize for having my head up my A@#.
Not to worry - happens to me all the time.
Please self indulge all you want to BAND-MAID.

Exactly! Good observation! Wish I had said that! lol. Thanks for the visit.
this song works just as well as an instrumental
Absolutely! It might work well as a title track for an action movie too! I'm just glad they did this and wish more bands would. Thanks for the comment!
Goosebumps 😍😁
Indeed! I get them every time! Thanks for the visit!
Nice video (btw, it's Saiki, not Atsumi)

Outstanding as usual and Akane is an alien on drums !
Absolutely! She's all over that kit like white on rice and makes it look easy, doesn't she?

This is good to know! Thanks for the info and the visit!
Except this is a pirated bootleg video.
@@ericifune5543 I don't know of any take downs of reactions of those videos, just the original video, not reactions to it.
