10 years under their belt and it shows. The tightest and best rock band on the planet!!!
Lol, you have so much great music in front of you. Ten years of ass kicking rock. One thing about The Maids. They don't play a genre, Band Maid IS a genre. Pop, punk, prog, thrash, rock, metal. They do it all, and better than anyone else.
Members:
Saiki: voacls
Miku: rhythm guitar, vocals, founder
Kanami: lead guitar
MISA: bass
Akane: drums
Band formed 2013
Welcome to *BAND MAID!*
🕊🕊🕊
Thank you! 😁
great to see you reacting to the Maids. Lovebites were in attendance at this show, and were spotted by the Maids and waved to. the 2 drummers Haruna from Lovebites and Akane from Band Maid are friends that often celebrate birthdays together when possible. In June the Warning will be visiting Japan for the first time and doing a joint concert with the Maids on June 12. they met at Aftershock Festival and it turns out the bands are fans of each other so it should be an amazing show, plus hopefully a collab like they recently did with Mike Einziger of Incubus for the song "Bestie" whom they opened for recently in Tokyo. cheers
Awesome! Thank you!
The "GAP" is intentional. Cute plays HARD. Demure maids melting your face. Top tier musicians who dress as maids. But what I like most is they can surprise you in so many different ways. Look for the fun, look for the magic.
This band single handedly rejuvenated my love for music again.....my playlist was all 70's and 80's music.And was kinda burned out on it.
Band Maids writing and musicianship is second to none....and after seeing them live last year has turned me into a Maidiac!!!!!
This band live will blow you away and the relationship with us fans is so special.....hence their concerts are called Servings !!!!!
Check out The Warning.
That's perfect! 😁👍
Next time they come to North America, go see them, no matter what you have to do to get there. I've seen them three times, and left each concert feeling that "Yes, life is good!"
🤙🏽
That's awesome! 😁
Could we have just witnessed the birth of a new BAND-MAID fan?
You just might have! 😉😁👍
Welcome home, Princess. Maidette level complete, Po! Maidiac level up in process...
Oh, 10 minutes of limp gymnastics translates to exactly what you think it does
It all started with Don't Let Me Down...She asked, they didn't deliver.
I thought it was about a subpar performance at the Olympics. 🙂
@@80mtn yeah, in the Sai-athalon.
@@bandmaidfanATL You had it in Atlanta too didn't you. 80s sometime?
@@80mtn '96
Band-Maid is an amazing hard rock band that play an incredible range of styles, while always retaining their own singular sound. Hard, soft, fast, slow, punk, metal, acoustic, etc. If you like variety and spice in your hard rock, Band-Maid is it. Kanami is the lead guitarist and a genius songwriter. You will never get the same song twice. The lead vocalist and (in this case) the lyricist is Saiki. The one who looked most like a maid is Miku (founder, rhythm guitar, backup vox, primary lyricist). The incredible rhythm section is comprised of MISA (bass) and Akane (drums). If you want to hear a great ballad from the same show, try Endless Story. Or if you want to go back to where they started and the song that saved them, start with Thrill and just keep going forward!
Thank you! 😁
Most likely the most talented and versatile band today. A style of their own.
Rock/Metal is not dead..It lives in Japan nowadays..
That was a quality reaction, thank you! 🙂 Do more Band-Maid, please.
So what i say too "DO IT" :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 ..like a fierce tiger.
Dave! 🤘🏻🍺🔥🔥😁
@@RogerChance3902 I'm still on my phone and having overheat issues with the laptop. I'm spotty these days. I'm seeing everything though.
@@80mtn Hope you get it fixed soon! That kinda of stuff frustrates the hell out of me. 🍺😖
Welcome to Maid`s world!
Thanks so much nice reaction!
I recommend you next song thrill/ on set / from now on/ puzzle /screaming/・・・・・etc
Thank you! 😁
You not only get to see the awesome BAND-MAID but you also get to meet the amazing Maidiacs it's a two for one special. Welcome to BAND-MAID
Thanks so much!
Welcome to the BandMaid experience. The greatest proper rock and roll band of the 21st century. Here's some opinions and facts:
•Bass solos are more likely to happen than not
•Guitar solos are shorter, far shorter than you would like them to be
•Unless you are superhuman, you will not/ can not be able to pick up everything they're doing to make that song great on the first listen.
•Genre? Genres?? We don' need no stinkin" genre!
•You like a hard rocking crazy fast tune? Well how about it done as a slower acoustic version? They do that.
•April Fools Day 2019
As a joke they recorded a redo of Secret my Lips with traditional instruments and with lyrics in a Kyoto dialect. MV is stunningly beautiful.
•The linchpin member of the band gets the least notice/praise. The Mighty Miku Kobato founder/lead singer steps back to make way for a new more hard rock vocalist. They want her to hold a guitar so she does and learns to play on the fly, performing all the while she's learning. So the person who willed the band into existence, who is the primary lyricist, the only member who sings and plays an instrument most of the time gets the least comments from reactors. Oh yeah she has her own signature model guitar from Zematis (after playing less than 10 yrs)
•There is no "I" in BANDMAID. Well ok there is one "I" but my point is the songs are written by BandMaid. Not just Kanami Tono. The highly innovative bass and drum lines are created by Akane and MISA. There are no George songs and John&Paul songs. There are only BandMaid songs.
•10 plus years with the same line up. Think about that.
•More hooks, riffs and motifs in many songs than most bands have on an album. Check it out. No hyperbole.
•Use of puns, wordplay using homophones between Japanese and English are not the exception. They are typical of Kobato's lyrics.
•Despite the fact that their LIVE videos are superior to the official studio MV"s the latter are excellent. Funny, graphic, innovative and stunningly beautiful works of art describe what you get with BandMaid's official MV's.
•As close to the Beatles in terms of unique persona of the members as any group since the Monkees. MISA is quiet and drinks. Akane is happy and eats, Miku is klutzy and CUTE, Kanami is an airhead who crushes on Saiki and Saiki was the Ice Queen. But the Ice Queen has thoroughly thawed. See Yokohama's Endless Story! Their image is carefully crafted or spontaneous or both.
•Many songs have catch phrases or singalong sections to engage the audience. Many songs are in English and Japanese.Most songs are full of joy as well.
•They're having a ball. They enjoy performing. They enjoy the fans. They enjoy each other.
•Make no mistake, this is not a regular band.
I am pretty sure the lyric "ten minutes of limp gymnastics" is what it's supposed to translate to. This song is about a person who cheated on the singer, Saiki's, friend. They usually have more upbeat lyrics, but moral of the story, don't piss off Band-Maid! ;-) Thanks for the reaction!
Taylor Swift ain't got nothing on ex-boyfriends.
Pretty epic burn 🤣
The translation is correct! "Ten minutes of limp gymnastics" is exactly what it sound likes! 😀
The ? in the title is a pun in Japanese.
Band-Maid are into their 11th year (with the same original members - they are all now in their 30's).
" Domination" official live video, all possible rock genres in one song.
Thanks! 😊
They play like they are living the dream and they share that dream with their fans. No egos. Just smiles.
Akane has two pedals for the bass drum so she can play it twice as fast. They have been together since 2013. This concert was the last of the 10-year anniversary tour.
Off stage they are literally the "Demure little Japanese ladies" you speak of. On stage they are rock stars.
That's awesome! 😆 👍
I wouldn't say they are demure off stage. Cute, likeable, respectful and humble maybe, but they have some spice off stage.
@@MrsRealistic What they have is a lack of ego. Their social media is about their on stage personas and there is never a word about their personal lives.
@@bandmaidfanATL Egoless.
Well, the Spokes-Pigeon is not particularly Shy. Also never play poker with her at the table.
Welcome to the fandom! I suggest these BM songs: Thrill, Dice, Manners, Bubble, No God (live) & Puzzle (live)
BTW - Band Maid & The Warning are big fans of each other
I happened to see the notification that you're reacting to Band-Maid ND wondered how you'd enjoy their music.
They are one of the hottest bands here in Taiwan. My students have their images on almost anything you could imagine. I really enjoy listening to them. They are really good.
The funny thing is that they do act quite demure and shy offstage.
Of course! I should have thought of you when I started covering Japanese bands! 😄 I bet there are Mega fan girls and boys over your way!
@@MrsRealistic
You're definitely right.
After seeing your reaction, I asked a few students about Band-Aid. One of the girls told me that her aunt has a Band-Aid car. The car is completely covered in photos of the band. Of course, people here overdo many things. For example, we have themed 7-11s here. You can see Pokemon stores, One Piece stores, Spy Family stores. And the restaurants are worse. One near my home is called "Toilet Restaurant". Food is served in toilets and urinals. Ice cream is shaped like poo. Another, unfortunately it's closed now, is an H. R. Ginger teahouse. He's the artist who created the alien for the movies "Aliens". The furniture was shaped from his artwork. Creepy!!!
@johnstrome007 honestly, my kids would LOVE the Toilet Restaurant 🤣🤣🤣 The Asian culture is just different... cheeky, but funny. I would love to visit Japan. My ex husband traveled there twice for work and said it was one of the coolest places he'd ever gone!
@@MrsRealistic
If you ever plan to go, check things out carefully and plan everything yourself. You will be extremely surprised how cheap things are.
It's funny that you mentioned Japan now. My son has been trying to convince us to buy a new house. Today, he was looking at houses in Japan. He showed me a 35 year old three bedroom house in Sweden Village. It's twenty minutes from Mount Fuji. It's $70,000usd.
Welcome Princess Mrs. Realistic to the wonderful world of Band-Maid. Amazing how the Maids can take a song about pure hate and make it sound upbeat, happy and positive. LOL. Well, you only have a 120+ more fantastic songs to go, so looking forward to the next one. Their portfolio is deep and diverse. Buckle up and enjoy the ride. PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘
P.S. To all those suggesting Band-Maid to new reactors...keep up the good work. I'm sure the Maids appreciate your efforts to spread their awesome music. PO!🕊
Oh, ONLY?! 😄 Piece of cake! 🤣
BAND-MAID it's pure fire Greetings from Argentina
Sugoi! Regardless of gender, BAND-MAID is the best band on the planet. They mix pop, punk, rock, and metal elements better than anyone. Seen them twice, do not miss them LIVE!
Arigatou! 🤘🤘 #SurrenderLove #ShareHappyLetsDance
Oh man, you've really done it now. You've opened a fresh can of Band-Maid and you won't be able to close the lid now.
Yup, I'm in for it!
@@MrsRealistic Next maybe you could check out the official live video for "Domination" and the MV for "Shambles." 😁👍
So cool, that you have discovered Band-Maid. I discovered them through The Warning about a year and a half ago. Talented ladies beyond belief.
So you mentioned you have discovered any new Har Rock/Metal band in the last 20 years. Here are a few suggestions, if you haven't heard of these:
The Pretty Reckless / Halestorm / Starset / In This Moment (only from 2008-2015) / Plush / Rise Against - hope this helps out your library.
Awesome thank you! I have heard of Halestorm and Plush. .. but no songs come to mind right off the bat 🤣
MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! the Barefoot Bass Assassin .
The Japanese metal/rock scene is the best in the world currently IMO. I know you have becone a fan of Lovebites from previous reactions, Band-Maid is obviously extremely talented as well. B-M has a deep catalog so enjoy the journey. You still have Nemophila & Hanabie (& Others) to deep dive.
I second this
The Maids here are introducing the latest revision of their wardrobe as they perform in the final concert of their yearlong, international, 10th Anniversary Tour, last November. In the very beginning, they all wore French maid outfits, aprons and all, but vocalist SAIKI and bassist MISA were never fully on board with that and soon appeared in Spanish Lady and Chinese inspired outfits, respectively. Try DOMINATION, live, from 14 February 2020, next.
NEMOPHILA are another, newer, all-female Japanese Metal five-piece. Try OIRAN, the most recent live concert performance.
I love the unique costumes! They're 5 badass girls!
They've pretty much evolved away from the maid outfits but not totally. The drummer is sort of like a Bell Boy, the lead guitarist is dressed like a goth Victorian maid. Of course, there's the rhythm guitarist who is the most maid-like (she's the band founder). The lead vocalist and the bassist pretty much didn't want to dress as maid from the get-go. lol
SAIKI (the Lead Singer) was essentially "tricked" into the maid costume. She did not wear the apron even at the first show. They made her wear it by cornering her in the dressing room! Here is a video of the first show with SAIKI not wearing the apron. th-cam.com/video/tQPIvADL42k/w-d-xo.html
This song isn't over until Miku (rhythm guitar & backing vocals) does that spin.
Akane Hirose has a single kick bass drum but uses two kick pedals (one for each foot) in order to get those super fast kick drum patterns. Also, she is the happiest drummer on the planet and is always smiling or making goofy faces when necessary. (LOL)
Hoping that next weekend Bandmaid and The Warning play together during their sets! that would be awesome!
Tjezus that bass. Wicked !!!
The best!
Usually the lyrics are written by the Rhythm guitarist / second vocalist Miku. This one however was written by the main vocalist Saiki. Who had a friend whose husband cheated on her during covid-19. Lesson learned. Don't piss Saiki off.
Wow! No kidding! Well, this is a great middle finger to him! 🤣
You have opened the floodgates. They may be the best rock group in the world today (I think they are). They are certainly the most creative band since the Beatles, and they are top-tier musicians.
I saw many of the classic rock bands - Purple, Zeppelin, Queen, Santana, many more, all in their heyday. I’ve seen Band-maid three times and their performances stand up to any of those legendary bands.
You are going to get a lot of suggestions. First, a little background on the band:
Saiki Atsumi - Lead vocals Born Feb 8, 1994
MISA - Bass Born Oct 15, 1992
Kanami Tono - Lead guitar, Main composer and arranger Born Sept 28, 1991
Miku Kobato - Rhythm guitar, backing vocal Born Oct 21, 1991
Akane Hirose - Drums Born Dec 14, 1990
Miku was working in a Maid Café after being in an idol group that didn’t break through. She envisoned the idea of a maid-band that plays hard rock and metal. She recruited Kanami, after finding a Kanami guitar cover on line; Kanami then recruited Akane, who recruited MISA. Akane and MISA had been students together at the Tokyo Music Academy. The group decided they needed more vocal “oomph”, and collectively recruited Saiki. Miku didn't know how to play guitar when they started, so Kanami has been teaching her. She's become good so fast that she is really adding to the music mix, and Maidiacs are daring to dream of a dual shred.
The band was struggling early on, and in 2014, even as the label was considering dropping them, they posted the music video for “Thrill” which went viral globally. When they realized what was going on, it gave them the momentum to forge ahead, and they have now done multiple tours of Europe and the U.S. and are building a global fanbase who call themselves the Maidiacs.
They have released seven full albums, as well as several EPs, singles and music videos. They have put out around 170 songs, covering a wide variety of styles and sounds, without any duds. They combine a punk vibe with instrumental virtuosity (two things that are often seen as being incompatible), and have done some amazing progressive-rock songs and ballads with a metal edge to them.
They toured the U.S. in 2022 and sold out 14 cities in less than 48 hours. They followed it up with a 2023 tour which had to be expanded from their original plans. Their fan base skews heavily to actual practicing musicians. Some of those followed the band to multiple dates and documented everything on youtube-some of the footage is hilarious.
I’ve seen them in 2019, 2022 and 2023. Their shows are truly life-reaffirming. So far no announcements of another European tour but it seems likely in 2024.
Band-Maid are that rare band that sound perfect live, even better than in the studio. Everything they have posted from their 10thAnniversary concert in Yokohama is absolute fire-I have bought the DVD and recommend you do too. 33 songs, 3 hours of insanity. The best clip on YT from that concert is “Hate?” which you just watched.
Here are more links, to older performances:

And an official MV, one of their most popular: Daydreaming (it’s a slower ballad, gorgeous and truly heart-wrenching): th-cam.com/video/RCaeUkrItyY/w-d-xo.html
If you want more background, I suggest you react to this classic interview. It's hilarious, it's insightful, you will learn their names for good, and their cuteness will destroy your brain. Oh, and they are completely nuts. th-cam.com/video/R4PofsQYwn4/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for that info! 😁
You know the best rock band in the world today was lead by female band and it was this band. BAND MAID
Band maid invited The Warning to Japan to play 2 shows next month ..should be awesome.
That's... EPIC
Any Maids track always ROCKS!!! The ladies are in their early 30s now and have been rocking for almost 10 years with plenty of Solo work from Misa, Kanami and Akane. The great thing is they always look so happy.
Try Thrill the track that blew them up on the world stage, after a slow start it suddenly went viral outside of Japan (the label was about let them go when this happened in 2015), Freedom, Onset, From now on, Without Holding Back, Hate? Are all great tracks and they have an extensive back catalogue.
Welcome Masters and Princesses to the 5 Band-Maid members:
SAIKI Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. The youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions.
MIKU Kobato (Me-Ku), "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals and lyricist. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR Spokes Pigeon. I believe she couldn’t play when she formed the band and was tutored by Kanami.
KANAMI Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want is more!
AKANE Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumZilla” is the Party!
MISA (Me-Sa), "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin literally kills it… every note uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA!
Kanami, Misa and Akane are just top notch musicians. Their playing has character as well as chops. Miku has grown into a rock solid rhythm guitarist. She underrates her own vocal ability - she's a really good singer too. As for Saiki's voice, it's stronger now than it was 10 years ago.
Such an excellent band.
The Maids are absolutely the best band on the planet.
😂😂😂😂😂
Yes they are and they keep getting better
If Band-Maid tours anywhere near you - see them! They put on an incredible show, full of energy and subtle humor. This quintet has been working together for eleven years, sharing the ups and the downs, writing a huge catalog of music unique to their style. They love to experiment and they've created some truly unique compositions. Animators have commissioned Anime theme songs from them, and when they go off script they have produced heart melting ballads.
They love April Fools jokes. Check out their Band-Maiko videos: "Secret Maiko Lips" and "Gion-cho". You'll see them totally differently! Band-Maid always goes the extra mile to generate a smile.
I'm waiting for my favorites to come to Texas!
@@MrsRealistic When Band-Maid tours the US they almost always do Houston and Austin. They have a ton of fans in Texas.
@etoineschrdlu9382 oh that's awesome! We're just outside of Austin!
@@MrsRealistic Band Maid Live 2023 , Full Show, May 14, Houston, TX.
th-cam.com/video/0w9fT6SwaBA/w-d-xo.html
They also played this venue in October 2022. They had played it i just before the lockdown (2019?) and were worried that perhaps their fans had forgotten them. The Maids were overwhelmed by the loyalty of their fans and will not forget them.
Akane on drums is a beast!!
❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
MISA, the barefoot assassin on bass. Akane the Gorilla on drums. Miku the small pigeon on rythem and backing vocals. Kanami The Riff Goddess on lead and Saiki The Ice Queen on vocals.
Lo mejor de lo mejor, Nice.
Former ice queen.
She’s really soft hearted now.
Ice Queen is outdated (and was always just an act, although she is naturally pretty shy). She's now "Super Stylist Saiki" based on the behind the scenes making of "Bestie" video.
The Ladies of LOVEBITES were at this show!!!!!
Yes. Akane is using a double kick with her feet to get the rolling double notes. She may be the best in the world right now.
EASILY THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD...NOBODY CAN TOUCH THEM
It's amazing how Band-Maid has rewritten the laws of nature: Hate brings Love! 😖--->🎀--->😍

(But you might already know all this.) Thx, Ms, Real!
That's Misa on bass and Kanami on lead guitar having a little duel. Misa is more of a lead guitarist playing bass, she's that good. Akane back there on the drums, and Saiki on lead vocals.
Miku (rhythm guitar/ vocals) formed the band in 2013 , she used to work in a Japanese maid café, and the aesthetic was her vision. 7 albums to date.
Band Maid is more hard rock, and LOVEBITES is more heavy metal. This is a newer video. To see where they came from, try "Thrill", the song that got them going and saved the band.
Japan has more where that came from. Check out Nemophila with the song "Oiran" (official live).🤘🤘
Thank you!! 😁
Band-Maid best hard rock band
Yep - you're right about the drummer's feet. She's known for her double pedal craziness. Best band there is - I've not missed a day in the last five years listening to them. And the "Hate" comes from a friend of hers whose boyfriend and/or husband cheated on her during covid. The lead singer wrote the lyrics and they even made her tone them down! (usually the rhythm guitarist/band founder/backup vocals writes the lyrics.) They also play lots of different styles and genres, so there's something in their catalogue for everyone. Beautiful ballads? Hard groove 70's ish rock? Fast metal/rock - check check and check.

Thank you! 😁
This song was not written, for once, by Miku (on rhythm guitar, the only one who now wears a maid outfit) but by the vocalist, Saiki. The question mark is there because there is a Japanese word "はて” that is alphabetically spelled "hate". When Saiki wrote the lyrics of this song, she wanted to use the phrase "I hate you", and she also realized that the English word "hate" can be read "はて" in Japanese. Because "はて” is generally used in question, she decided to put "?" after "HATE"
1:54 - The translation is correct on this performance, though admittedly they can get words wrong sometimes. I've translated 6 of Band-Maid's MV's that didn't have subtitles in English and was pretty pleased with them...but did make a beginners error on one of them by assuming what I heard was an English phrase when in fact it was part of the Japanese lyrics. It happens. In their live MV, from this same gig, for the song DON'T YOU TELL ME, they use the word "Dye" instead of "Die". 🤘🤘PS As Alexander Pope once said "Whoever thinks a perfect piece to see, thinks of what never was, nor is, nor ever shall be". A man who hadn't seen Band-Maid play live, obviously!
😆 Apparently not! No quote will hold water for every situation it seems!
Asami, Midori and Haruna from LOVEBITES watched this long live show over 3.5hrs from the seats on Kanami's side. And I was there too.🤘
How cool! That's a long concert!
It's gonna take me forever to remember their names, but that maid that plases lead guitar, wow! She's the female version of Slash!
That's what I thought too!
nice react, Band maid just closed their 10th year of existance, the video you just react is come from this show
The thing with Band-Maid is all the ladys,Do what they do very well..I've yet to hear anything sub par from them ..
🤘🤘🤘 damnnnn
That's what I thought 🤣👍
Karlosthrgr3at: DAMNNN… is right! But you haven’t even scratched the surface yet! Try BAND-MAID music videos for SHAMBLES, WARNING, from now on, and ONSET! Then get back to me…
More BAND-MAID please!
This is from their ten-year anniversary tour. This is one of Misa and komicho's infamous faceoffs. The drummer, Akane Hirose, did not know girls were allowed to play rock drums until she saw Nao, the drummer from MAXIMUM THE HORMONE playing. She is now one of Jimmy Page's favorite drummers.
MAXIMUM THE HORMONE is VERY influential in the Japanese rock/hard rock/metal scene. Sooner or later, you will get recommendations for them and, as a warning, they are a WILD ride. Multiple time, key and genre changes in the same song.
Believe it or not Band Maid was almost dropped by their management company and were saved by a TH-cam music video. To see their first YT MV look for the video for their song, Thrill.
Thanks so much! 😁
The stereotypes are so wrong :) I lived in Japan for 11 years, and people there are just like people anywhere. In fact, my wife is from Japan, and she is the absolute opposite of a demure little lady. She's incredibly opinionated, hot-headed, and swears like a sailor. She says she should've been Italian.
Anyway, these ladies have been together for a long time, have incredible chemistry together, and insane talent. And they're not as young as many people think. They're in their early 30s, and I hope they're still rocking out in their 50s.
You're so right! It just goes to show you that unless you've been to a certain country, don't take what the movies portray at face value!
So now you've been exposed to both Band Maid and the Warning. Imagine both on the same show, and even better, both groups playing a song together! I was there for it in Tokyo the other night and it was fantastic! The song is called "Show Them" and they showed us. It will be on Band Maid's upcoming album! That drum beat you heard is called a double kick.
You're so lucky! That's amazing!
The "10 minutes" part means "shoboi exercise" in Japanese. "Shoboi" is an expression that refers to something that is "no big deal" or "insignificant" or has no value. In the context, it can be understood that it refers to men and women, but it is not slang for Japanese people, and the words only express that they are worthless.
Thanks so much for that explanation!
Best rock band on the planet. Lovebites may be the best power metal band on the planet. I'm a Band Maidiac though. Actually Band Maid can play any genre and if you watch them long enough you'll find out how good they really are. Watch NO GOD live from their online performance because the sound is better. You'll find out how good the bass player really is.
Thank you! 😁
Yay, we're 2 for 2 with the ladies of Japan!
We can all stop with stereotypes of Japanese women being soft and subservient.
Back in the 70s, there was a girl gang who dressed like school girls. Except these school girls carried knives and bats which they would use anytime guys would get fresh!
Ain't gonna lie, but I think that's awesome!
The translation was correct! This song is about a cheating husband/boyfriend that Saiki wrote about what a friend was going through.
I suggest Don't You Tell Me live from this same concert, next.
Can we go 3 for 3?
Hanabie - We Love Sweets!👊🐺🤘
Awesome thank you!! 😊
You have any idea how bad you have to fk up for the maids to write a song about how much they hate you and it kicks so much ass👌💀
🤣 Yeah, that's pretty bad, lol!
Welcome to the Maidiacs, Mrs Realistic.
btw. Band-Maid are too nice to have battles, they have conversations.
🍺🤪
I love that!! 🙌
🤘⚡️🤘
From some Japanese fans I have heard the question mark on HATE? has something to do with a play on words. So kind of a joke more than meant to cast any doubt about if she hates them lol
It was definitely answered in this song 🤣
holy crap i read all the comments and if you replaced the word band maid with the word the warning the comments are the same, best band on the planet,no egos, the best people in the world, all of it, so cool that the bands love each outher..
It really is awesome!
The Japanese, pretty generally, love puns. The language is especially rich for puns, with the spoken language, plus Kanji plus two syllabaries. One of them in romanji, which is to say Latin letter renderings of Japanese syllables. The title of Hate? is a pun, based on the romanji.
In Japanese, the expression ha-te ("hah-teh") is always a question, meaning something like "Is that so?". (I think.) So, Saiki made a visual pun based on the resemblance of the English word "hate" and Japanese romanji for "ha-te". But once you listen to the song, of course, the implied question is answered!
BAND-MAID are my favorite band in the world. I saw them live last year in the US, and yes, this is what they sound like! That said, Japan has a vast stock of great rock and metal bands. Many of the all-female ones are especially talented and ferocious. E.g., Lovebites, Hanabie, Gacharic Spin, Nemophila, Trident, Hagane, Bridear.
Subscribed, and thanks for the reaction! A mixed-sex band I heartily suggest, too. Maximum the Hormone. I suggest starting with Yoshu Fukushu, Hungry Pride, or (if you want to jump into the deep end, first) A.L.I.E.N.
Thanks so much for all of that info! 😊👍
band maid is definitely one of the best hard rock bands in the world. They do stray into metal as you saw and even have some groove and rock ballads but definitely are hard rock, they do tour the US almost every year, so catch them live if you can they put on an awesome show. The lead guitarist writes the music and the rhythm guitarist is the band leader and writes the lyrics, at least they have written their own for the last 7 years or so the earlier 3 albums were not written by them but you can still feel their influence. There are few bands who can play as well as they do live and for long concerts as well, they are as good live as the kpop exteremely talenetd vocal group mamamoo is live with their vocals. Few groups can attain live performances like band mand or mamamoo which the live performance is as good as the recorded albums, sometimes better than recorded versions, the Live performance of Domination is imho better than the MV for it. They have well over 100 songs all of them as great as this or better. I suggest the live Manners, Black Hole video, it is from their live streamed concert during covid which I did see live when it happened. Manners is groove and Black Hole is Metal. Influencer MV is awesome, No God is awesome for the bass, the live of Play, domination, Wonderland, Freedom, Moratorium are all great, Bubble is a tribute to freddy mercury, Blooming and Non fiction days are early songs, Gion Cho is as their Band Maiko april fools alter egos and they have an acoustic concert they did live for christmas a couple of years ago where they redid 14 of their hard rock songs on acoustic guitars. Pick anything, they never do bad songs.
The top 2 out of Japan are Lovebites and Band Maid since BM has been out longer they are number 1 and Lovebites is number 2 and yeas like Huruna Akane from BM also is killer on the double Bass as is Tamu of Nemophila ]:)
Most Band-Maid songs are more optimistic but not this one!...lol
This was definitely a middle finger to that guy! 😆
The song Tay-Tay wishes she could write.
The ladies, Miku the founder especially, call it the "gap" the difference from their look ( self-described battle outfits ) and their sound. The whole idea stemmed from that idea, little maids rocking their/your asses off.
Now the look is just kind of there non-consequential, it's all about the incredible music. I
concur- best band in the planet
Off hand, Greeta Van Fleet (sp?) is probably the closest from the USoA in recent years - but they're more "hard rock".
I still think you'll love them, though!
The closest you're going to get from the western side is The Warning (Trio of Mexcian Sisters) or Unleash the archers (Canadian 5 piece)
Yes, I've got a lot of The Warning videos! They're fabulous!
Thanks for the reaction and comments. These ladies are FIRE!!!!! They are arguably the best live rock band on the planet. If you want to see just how proficient they are with their instruments, check out From Now On. Hope to see more reactions of Band-Maid going forward. Cheers!
Thanks!
Greetings to our Canadian Queen. (I mean that sincerely not in a creepy way lol) 😊
This is such a great song to showcase all the amazing talent in the band. Miku often gets overlooked in this song but she does some really cool stuff. I’ve given this song the subtitle of “Don’t piss off Saiki!”
And “10 minutes of limp gymnastics” is one of the best lines I’ve heard! 😅
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
It’s worth researching the background of the band and where the Maid theme comes from.
You’re correct about the “double time” with the feet on the drums. She has what is called a double pedal (pretty much every drummer nowadays has them) so she plays with both feet to get rapid beats. Some drummers use them on a single kick drum like Akane does and others have two kick drums like Haruna from Lovebites.
Band-Maid is more considered hard rock although some of their songs crossover into other genres. Lovebites is considered metal but again, will slip in others genres. Nemophila, another all female Japanese group do the same. I love that these women are not letting genres decide what they’ll play!
Aww thank you my fellow Canuck!! 🙏 All this great new stuff I'm checking out is so much fun! Cheers from one Canadian (living in Texas) to another! 🍻
Welcome & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 I witnessed this very performance at the venue on Nov.26, last year. Very exciting 3-hour-40-minute-long show with 33-song setlist. (Happy fatigue thereafter 😄)
Band-Maid is one of the best bands in our country, especially in live performance. We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". The history is very long and the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Speaking of hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since as early as 1970s : Led Zeppelin / Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Deep Purple (1972), Queen (1975), Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick / Van Halen / Scorpions (1978), Judas Priest (1978/79) and so on. Now, any type of rock can be enjoyed here, especially by many all-female or women-fronted bands. They are daughters of American / European rock, for sure. (Many are grand-daughters in terms of age.) Lovebites, who you have already reacted to, is one of them.
Uh-oh, we also say "Japan is the country obsessed by Jazz". It had started earlier than rock 😄
I wrote the comment below this one when you pause the video to comment about 10 minutes of gymnastics and when you did that as soon as you were done talking I paused it and wrote the one below and then right after I unpause it she says just a stack of failure which in my comment below says 10 minutes of Lynn just gymnastics is his failed acrobats. That's so funny it makes me think I'm right on par with that.
😁👍
Another great band from Japan is NEMOPHILA. For a first listen I'd recommend their song Adabana th-cam.com/video/AxYiOwsu6wU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=e_O66a-DcGQZFZwD. If you're up for some instrumentals I also recommend listening to Asterism. Their not as well known yet, but these kids (young adults now) will blow your mind. Their songs Rising Moon th-cam.com/video/IfxMi0Bx4x0/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared and Dawn th-cam.com/video/buQPvINJcA0/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared are awesome.
I'm pretty sure I know what "10 minutes of limp gymnastics" means, in any language. Rumor has it, it was only 9. Might be the deepest burn I've ever heard in a song. Ever. I'd rather Taylor Swift write a break up song about me than Saichan, who wrote this about her best friends cheating husband. Ouch!
🤣🤣 OMG that's hilarious!
There are plenty more kickass Japanese all-women metal and rock bands: Hanabie, Nemophila, Aldious, Trident, KOIAI, Gacharic Spin and many others. They are all very different and all huge fun. I much prefer the positivity of these bands to the depressing crap that makes up a lot of European and American metal.
Exactly!!
Congratulations, you have pointed out the secret behind Band-Maid. They look like demure young Ladies in Maid outfits yet they rock HARD. Melt your face off hard. I am going to post the first section of an information file for you to start you on your way to learning about the Ladies of Band-Maid.

I have much more of this file I can post if you would like to know more. Just leave a reply and I will post it.
And yes, what you were hearing was Akane using both of her feet to play what is called a "Double Pedal" that allows her to hit the large kick drum faster. And that wasn't even as fast as she go. Hate?'s BPM is 180, "Black Hole" is 220 BPM and many of us were surprised that Akane's feet hadn't fallen off.
You are now just on road that is over 130 songs wide and 10+ years long, so please don't hesitate to choose a lane. Most of the Ladies discography is available on their TH-cam Channel under the Releases Tab. And even if there is no MV, if you just wanted to react to a song, go ahead, all of their songs are good and we all enjoy them.
Thank you for all of that awesome info! 👌
@@MrsRealistic You are welcome. Here is the remainder of that particular file so you know more about the formation of Band-Maid.
Band Maid was started in 2013 by Miku Kobato. At the time she had just left the Idol Group, Lil Cumin and she didn't like the type of music she had been performing. She approached her management agency with the idea of making an actual band playing rock music but dressed as maids. She had worked in a Maid Cafe and thought the image of maids playing rockin music would create what she called "The Gap" between what you see and what you hear. The Management company was like Ok, go ahead.
Miku then looked around and found Kanami a singer/songwriter who was posting her own videos on the internet. Miku had her agency contact her and Kanami thought the idea was cool and agreed to join. Miku then asked if Kanami knew a drummer who might be interested. Kanami had worked with Akane in the past and there is 2 versions of this, the first is, Kanami literally walked over to Akane's apartment and asked her, the second is Kanami called Akane and asked her. (Akane has said in 2 different interviews that 1: Kanami called her and asked if she could come over and 2: in a second interview Kanami just came over) Akane was actually hesitant as she had worked in an "All Girl Group" before and didn't enjoy it as it wasn't the type of music she wanted to play. After hearing a Demo, Akane was like ok, but was still slightly hesitant because of the "Maid Outfits", but she agreed to give it a try. Akane was asked if she knew a bass player and she had gone to Tokyo School of Music with MISA and had worked a couple of jobs with her. So Misa was contacted and after she heard a demo she was like I like the music, but she also was hesitant about the "Maid Outfits", but she relented and joined in as she really wanted to play the kind of music she heard in the demo. The 3 of them then "Auditioned" for the record company and passed the audition.
Now we have the "Core" members. The 4 members worked out some songs provided for them by the record company, and a setlist and they had performed 3 times with just Miku on main vocals. Miku after those performances felt that her voice wasn't powerful enough to really perform the songs she wanted. So she approached her management company again and asked if they had any singers who weren't in other projects. They then auditioned several singers. Miku heard Saiki rehearsing in a room across the hall and asked if she could be auditioned, the record company then had Saiki audition.
Saiki was signed to the same management company and had done some work as a backup singer and dancer and was asked if she would be interested in auditioning for this new group which currently had 4 members and she would be the fifth. She had been a member of a group with 8 other people as a backup singer and dancer, and HATED it. So she listened to the demo and thought "Cool" because she liked the music.
Now we come to the tricky part. Miku KNEW that if Saiki was told about the "Maid Outfits" she would say NO WAY!, so they didn't tell her. They told her they would have "Cool/cute Clothes"(I've read it translated either way), and she never met Miku until a few days before they had a contracted performance. She wasn't told about the "Maid Outfits" until the day before the performance, and she had considered backing out, but she had signed the contract. (Saiki also had NEVER met Miku until then as well)
So the Ladies, went and did the performance and Saiki really, REALLY liked the crowds reaction and the music they were performing. She DIDN'T like the apron she wore so it got ditched after the first performance.
And you now have the beginnings of the BEST LIVE HARD ROCK BAND in the WORLD!
ALL HAIL BAND MAID!!!!!
Now that we have the Full band, it was felt that there needed to be a second guitar. Saiki was like, "Not Me, No Way." So Miku said, "I'll do it.", at first that was literally all she did, was hold the guitar and mime playing it, until Akane said, if you are going to hold it, you NEED to learn to play it. And Miku said, "Ok.", and Kanami started to teach Miku how to play. The Ladies released their first album in 2014 "Maid in Japan" which failed to chart, but later after "Thrill" it was reissued and charted to #26 in Japan.
Then in 2015 they released "New Beginning"
On New Beginning was the song that changed Band Maid's entire existence. "Thrill"...
The band was getting ready to release their first music video and the choice was between "Love, Passion, Matador" and "Thrill" and the ladies chose Thrill. (Little known fact, Miku helped with the lyrics on Thrill but did not get credited)
This became the seminal moment of Band Maid. Because their second album charted at #64, the record company was seriously considering disbanding the Ladies and switching them to other projects. (In fact they had Kanami and Akane work with Mochi to Cheese thinking that when Band Maid cratered they could use them in another band. MISA had also just started working with Mochi to Cheese as well). However about 6 months after the video's release, a Facebook page "JRock Radio" posted the video to their timeline. And the video went viral. Having over a million views in just a few short weeks. The Ladies Twitter page got so many hits they thought their page had been hacked. Their TH-cam channel also started getting more and more subscribers and views to Thrill.
Now the ladies knew where their fans wanted them to go. Harder Rock, less pop. And history was Maid.
Many of us have much more information we would be delighted to share. So if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Speaking of metal. I don’t see the Ukrainian band Jinjer on your channel. Most reactors start with the live session video of “Pisces”. Also I don’t see the Vancouver band Unleash the Archers. I recommend the full band play through of “Awakening”. They are both phenomenal.
Cheers from Texas!🇨🇱🤘🏻😎
Thank you! Cheers back from Texas! 😊👍
Band-Maid + The Warning together in Japan in June!
I wish I could see that live!
Great reaction.👍
Lovebites ✔
Band-Maid ✔
All you need is NEMOPHILA and you will have covered the holy trinity of current female J-Rock/Metal.
Nemophila, "Seize the Fate" live: th-cam.com/video/yyKGK1Se4bo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AxmHOA05h1kVdSPC
By the way, Japanese girls have been rocking hard since the mid-eighties, with artists like Mari Hamada, Shonen Knife or Show-Ya.
Show-Ya, "Gyanburingu" ("Gambler"): th-cam.com/video/K7U2TXox4uc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Tc3dFfaSK9-At5vq
Listing all the incredible Japanese girl bands would be too extensive, but don't let their music mislead you, the vast majority of these girls are annoyingly polite, girly and even shy.😉
I've got a good list for them too! Stay tuned! 😉
The American music "industry" does not care about pure talent. Just cheap crap to fill two and a half minute radio slots,to sell us sneakers,clothing lines,fragrances etc. High corporate profits thru conspicuis consumption is the goal. Consider.
You're exactly right! I hate 99% of all the new trash on the radio.
@@MrsRealistic I've been around for about 7 decades now and have seen many of the greats from 70's & 80's rock. IMO bands like BandMaid, The Warning, Love bites are the best thing that's happened to rock in at least 35 years. Convinces this ole guy that women should rule the world. Keep up the good work!
Band-Maid....'Hate?'
Nemophila...'Dissention'
The Warning...'Burnout'
About time we get the female perspective in rock!
Warning 👎👎👎
@@darkz3741 lol
Hanabie. 'Osaki ni shitsurei shimasu'
this is defiantly not Heavy Metal, it's not even hard rock, I've been around for a long time and I know Punk Rock when I hear it, they remind of the Sex Pistols, these girls are a mess just like those guy's were
Hard Rock...Rock...Punk Rock, the lines can get blurred pretty easily. Have a nice day 😊
No metal, Hard-Rock
This song in particular and a lot of their newer material has lots of elements of traditional Heavy Metal, as much as you likely don't like associating that metal term to Band-Maid. Metal is just a sub-genre of Rock and they tend to blend a bit of it in their songs.
@@roygillotti4615It's not metal, from any point of view, they want to see it like that, it's something else, any song that reacts to BM they say is metal. But anyway, fans.
I’m pretty sure I wasn’t the only one requesting on this channel.So to all you Maidiacs who did Thank You! 🍺🤘🏻🔥😁
I've had a ton of requests, you're right! 😉👍
@@MrsRealistic I normally get blamed for most of them! Thanks for checking them out. 🍺😁
@@RogerChance3902 because you're normally the one that requests it! It's hard to blame us for reality.
@@evilducks3710 🍺😁
mmm, are Who losing it ?
This was their 10th anniversary tour final concert at Yokohama Arena.They will be 11 years together with the same lineup in coming August.
"10 minutes of limp gymnastics"...the direct translation of the Japanese lyrics is "about 10 minutes of poor exercise". So it is about right😏
In an interview, Saiki (lead vocal) explained about the "?" mark in the title of this song. When Saiki wrote the lyrics, she wanted to use the phrase "I hate you". She decided the title to be "HATE", and then she realized that "HATE" could be read "はて" in Japanese. Because "はて" is typically used in question, she put "?" to make the title "HATE?". I'm sure that Saiki was smiling a lot when decided on this title with "?" because she guessed that English speaking fans would be puzzled by it. "はて?" can be translated as "What?"
That's great! 😄 Thanks for the info!!
Wow, you found miku's idea.She calls it the gap Which proves that she was right all along
What they put in the water over there is a question that probably many of us have been asking for quite some time now, but to be honest I don't really care anymore. Fact is, I like the result, and I like it a lot! 🔥🤘🏻
