I finally was able to attend my first full okyu-ji Monday in Sacramento. You'll never understand just how special this band is until you see them live. They played my favorite song, Moratorium and I swear, I got emotional. It was everything that I hoped it would be.
Thx Dorian for charting B-M's "Decade of the Maid" with your awesome collage vid's. An Inspired choice of "Manners" acoustic for the music, it describes the Maids perfectly.🤗
Hi, Gary :-) Such a special occasion that I couldn't resist Acoustic Manners. AA, it's just beautiful: Saiki totally nails it. (Just hoping PP don't get all strikey, (striky, strikee hmm...) with it🤞). Thank you for watching.
As per usual another outstanding job. On the 14th of August l was privileged to hear Shambles the very first time played live here in Sacramento at the Ace of Spades a ten block walk from my front door. Even closer than Aftershock is. After proclaiming Sacramento loves Band-Maid it was so very nice to hear Miku state Band-Maid loves Sacramento. Great job.
Hi, Robert :-) You lucky, lucky devil. That was one to be at. 🤘 And, to top it off... "Band-Maid loves Sacramento," coming straight from the pigeons beak Just about perfect. ( Guessing they must've heard you. Po-🕊) Thank you for watching.
Miku Kobato of BAND-MAID says she often follows Twitter and TH-cam. I am sure that she said this as a way of thanking Robert for his constant support of BAND-MAID. BAND-MAIDの小鳩ミクさんはTwitterとTH-camを良く見ているそうです。 きっとBAND-MAIDをずっと応援してくれたRobertさんへの感謝の意味を込めてそう言ったのだと思います。
Just magical, my friend you really know how to tug at a Maidiacs heartstrings yet bring a big smile, just like the Maids themselves, thank you for all your time and effort and I look forward to what you'll do for BMs 20th anniversary as we all know that their rock will never die 🤗 👍🍻
Thanks for the 10 year show, a lot of images and a lot of fun and hard work by the ladies led to this moment. And a special thanks to Dorian for always providing us with great videos.
A thing of beauty!!. Thank you sir. Manners acoustic is awesome. Unbelievable amount of concerts in these ten years. Hardest workers Maids in the World (Seen or Unseen).
Thank you Dorian, as always, for a great montage. And I really like it when you use Band-Maid's own music for this--I hope you do it this way for future projects. Thank you again!
Hi, Hiawatha :-) Using their own music: Well, this _is_ a special occasion... But, yes, that would be ideal. See if this one survives, and if so, I'd love to incorporate much more in the future ( For that matter, there's several earlier efforts I'd like to re-upload, too ). Thanks, for watching.
Band-Maid had just done their US and Mexico tour. I can tell you that these ladies have shown the world that a band of females can be badass rockers! Remember this band is from Japan where almost all industries in the country are dominated by male. What an inspiration for the ladies out there! I discovered this band because of my master thesis about music industries for females in Japan (during COVID) and I've found this band along with Nemophelia, Scandal, Lovebites etc. Basically, all female bands. Among all these bands, Band-Maid is the most interesting band as they are the band with a simple "theme" that is inspired by the maid cafe. It's like going into a theme park. At the beginning (10 years ago), they either sell their concert tickets to their family and friends or buy the tickets with their own money to fill up the venue. Now, they are getting recognition and attention from the world. Although at the end, my thesis could not get the highest score but I'm still proud of my thesis. I wish one day they will come and perform in my country, Malaysia and ask for their signatures on my thesis. Happy 10th Anniversary, Band-Maid! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hi, Joe. And, in japan, the talent pool is so big that it takes extraordinary talent (and a measure of luck) to even get noticed. Let alone become a world-wide phenomenon. I'm guessing if you re-submit your thesis with those added signatures you will surely get 💯 Thank you for watching.
@@_BAND-MAID_fan nah. I will keep my thesis and won't resubmit again. I've already graduated. This band just reminded me of a cartoon in 80s, Jem & The Holograms.
Hi, 00 Yep. It was part of a (2021) Christmas online show, resulting in an entire CD of (imho, rather excellent) acoustic versions. Being a fan club offering, it's not often cited in discographies. Thank you for watching.
Thank you, Dorian. Excellent as always! Not gonna lie, that brought some tears. So, the plan is we all meet up here in 10 years for the 20th anniversary stadium tour, right? 🙂
When I think about everything they have experienced in such a short time, rehearsals, presentations, tours, interviews, radio, television, it is truly adrenaline. beautiful song and the voice of our princess Saiki and the whole band are one feeling I wish I had been there to hear them thanks for the video Dorian
Awesome show again Dorian. I imagine by now you have a server farm full of Maid footage and photos. Your call up to run the Maid Museum is assured :) Excellent stuff!!
Hi, DB 🙂 LOL! Ofc, the problem is trying to keep track of exactly where it all is. (E.g., Got some footage of MISA skateboarding at night. It's definitely here, um... somewhere. 😕 😊 Thank you for watching.
Manners is one of the best songs ever, and the acoustic version, Oh. My. Goodness! Very Excellent! Thank you, Dorian, for an outstanding Band-Maid 10th Anniversary Photoshow!
Thank you, as ever ,Dorian for the cool pictures. One thing"----any chance of giving a second or two more for viewing each frame ? Not that they are not all worth stopping at-----but just to get a better chance of grabbing various individual shots. Just a thought. Please keep them coming ! They will never get old.
Manners and Courtesy seem to have gone out of style! The Ladies Of Maid remind us with their Smiles and Stage Happiness how lucky we ALL are to be sharing the air with them! As usual DORIAN we Fans are so fortunate to have you take care of us with your time, effort and work in producing such well thought out videos of BANDMAID! Still trying to understand how we all survived before BANDMAID tattooed themselves onto our Souls! Best Ten Years Ever! Cheers from Ohio ❤
Hi, TS :-) We are indeed very lucky. Without this brilliant band, and in fairness, one or two others, the current musical landscape would be a dismally generic and tediously boring place. Jmho,ofc. Thank you for watching, Po-🕊.
Hi Kevin. 🙂Thanks for watching. Imho, this highly globalized world gives us _all_ opportunity to appreciate the thoroughly awesome, dangerously addictive music of BAND-MAID, and marvel at the hugely popular music of T.S. and co. Guessing it's an example of the universe trying to keep itself in some sort of balance.
Thank you so much Dorian, for yet again an outstanding tribute. The photo at 03.42 is the best I ever seen pf them, that is the true essence of Bandmaid...A flock of the sweetest, most compelling female artists on the face of this earth. Would love to know where to download hi-res, would make a great poster!
Hi, LB. Yes. That image is very much a favorite of mine, too. As indicated on the photo, it was taken by Jonathan Lane. Unfortunately, I don't have a link to any high resolution original source image. Still... Imho, Jonathan Lane has quite an interesting portfolio, including many excellent BAND-MAID images.
