🐦 On Feb. 14th, 2020 concert *BAND-MAID* announced that they were going to play at *Budokan* on Feb 11th, 2021 playing at *Budokan* is like reaching the top of Mt. Everest but due to Covid the concert was canceled. In the live streaming concert *Saiki* address the fans and said how much *BAND-MAID* missed performing live to their *Masters and Princesses* and was followed up with this song that *BAND-MAID* has maid for their fans. 🐦 *BAND-MAID* posted their US tour of October 2022 🥲
To put this song in true context, it helps to hear/see Saiki's speech right before they did this song. Here it is - translation by T-Shinji - still makes me choke up a bit to even read it to be honest. It's about how their biggest show ever at the 14,000 seat Budokan in Tokyo had to be canceled due to Covid. We were supposed to meet you today. For the first time in a year, we thought we could meet you all, those of you who could come to see us, but we can’t meet you in the end. I’m sorry. Even though it’s not my fault. We have been having days of turmoil for about a year. In the beginning, we were very surprised because we hadn’t experienced it before, and we had no experience of not being able to meet others in person.We were sad, but we found we shouldn’t be sad in this situation. When I saw you masters and princesses on social media, you were more depressed than us, and we thought that’s terrible. We Band-Maid have been thinking about how to cheer up all of you in the last one year. We truly wanted to meet you at Nippon Budokan, but it’s impossible because of COVID, so let’s wait for the day when we can meet. And in the last one year… or in the COVID pandemic, we have become more eager to cheer you up, and we Band-Maid realized again it’s important to give our songs to you. That’s why we wrote this song for Budokan. We made the album also in the pandemic, so it might have a little similar feel, but this song is planned for Nippon Budokan, and we really want to give it to you masters and princesses now. Budokan is not our goal but just a stepping stone. We will perform at bigger venues, and we promise we will bring you there and give you even better songs, so let’s keep it up a little more. This is our present for you masters and princesses. Please listen to it.
Thank you for reacting to the BAND-MAID song. This song is their message to a lot of people who can't meet in covid-19. Originally, I think this situation is difficult because of the concept of being a maid who serves good songs to the audience. Therefore, it is their effort to heal the hearts of Master and Princess through the internet as much as possible.
"About Us", in the vein of other great mid-tempo Band-Maid songs like Daydreaming, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, Wonderland, Awkward, Start Over, Mirage, At the Drop of a Hat and Smile, is an amazing song and personal message to their fans - a direction I'm glad to see them add to their journey toward world domination. And we get to hear MISA play the vibe she so enjoys. Their new, beautiful DVD/BD/CD box set (with 100 page picture book) of this incredible concert is unbelievable! Thanks Liam's Mom, for bringing "About Us" to your viewers!
Who writes a heart felt love song to their adoring fans? The incredible ladies of BAND MAID, that's who! And what a beautiful song it is, one that really tugs on the heart strings. 💕🤘😂🤘💕

Thanks for that! What is there not to absolutely LOVE about them?! 🤘😂🤘
It was a song about the thoughts of those who could not meet in Corona, but now it seems to be a song for the Ukrainian people.
I heard described as a love letter to their fans. Thanks LMR!
