Misa is quickly becoming my favourite member of the band, her growling funky bass riffs make me very happy. I don't know if her using a five string bass makes a difference to the sound, but I'm also impressed by her ability to switch from picking to slapping so fast. They are all so talented and deserve to be known all over the world
Hi Mark. MISA said she switched to a 5 string cos the key that most of their songs Kanami composes them in meant the strings on her bass felt looser playing lower down on the neck. Soz for the nerdoid fact :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 Thanks for the "nerdoid fact" lol. I've always been a big fan of kick ass bass riffs (Geezer Butler is my rock god), and although I've only recently become a Maidiac they are all very impressive.
@@dragonmac1234 Well if you've got the Maids it's not bad to have a Butler. Glad to have you aboard :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 I'm happy to be here. I don't know how it took me so long to find them though as they started in 2013. A bored wet afternoon scroll through TH-cam took me to the video for Warning, and the band strapped to the top of moving cars. A mix of Band-Maid and Rammstein maybe :)
@@dragonmac1234 Yep i avoided them for 3 years until i heard "Don't You Tell Me" live when i was searching for something else. That was a WTF moment :)
MISA!!!! I don’t know why Misa’s switch from using pick to slapping is so impressive to me💜😃💜
becuase it is? I dont know why people dont focus on this more. Its so good how she switches back and forth seemingly effortlessly.
Face melting guitar work is basically Obi-Wan-Kanami's hobby.
Obi-Wan-Kanami ha ha ... loved it..
@@GSpotter63 The force is definitely very strong in that one!
Obi-Wan-Kanami... lol... I'm stealing that...!!
@@rodcarter3767 My gift to the world! 🤣
You hit on it, their composition is what makes Band-Maid unique.
I'm 60 years old and I have been so disappointed with the music in the last 10 or so years Band Maid has really had a wonderful experience in my hope for Rock and Roll Music 🥁 🎶 💜
They really are reinvigorating rock music.
@@PrymalChaos thanks 😊 your reactions are awesome
I have no "favorite" in this band... BUT Kanami has a special place for me, because she is the main songwriter and without her, there is no SPECIAL Band-Maid sound and that is the main reason i LOVE this band so much :)
From what I understand, There have been a few polls pertaining to the popularity of each of the members. The final results are 20% for each member.
@@scottmcgregor4829 I think each member has been my favourite at some point. So each gets a 20% vote from me. Miku has a special place for seeing the possibility of Band-Maid, and then making it happen. Talent scouting Kanami shows real wisdom on Miku's part.
@@himbo754 from what I understand some Band Maid sites have conducted pulls on the popularity of the individual ladies in Band Maid. They all came out 20% for each member. I can't speak to the veracity of this. But, I trust the source that I heard this from. It doesn't surprise me. Like you all of them have been my favorite at any given point.
Kanami is the playmaker of the band without her the melody will not really cease to exist
You nailed that final comment. Kanami writes for the benefit of the song, not for the individual. Even her own solos aren't wild tangents just to show off her ability, but stay within the context of the melody. The more you listen, the more you hear the underlying rhythms separate from the main melody. They enhance the song, but don't overpower it. For example, Misa bass playing is anything but standard, but she never controls the melody. There are so many levels to each song that you're never bored. Can't wait to see them in concert!
This was the song that cemented their musical ability in my books. Didn't turn me into a Maidiac yet, but my respect for Band-Maid flew sky-high on the strength of this song alone. The amazing thing is that I would never get tired of listening to this song. I always somehow hear something new, or gain a greater appreciation of these ladies, the more I listen to this song. You should really try listening to this song quite a few more times.
Listen to "Without Holding Back"
@@MichaelNolen Don't worry Michael, I've heard that song before....
I call it the "Band-Maid wall of sound" -- that press of creative, chaotic sound where everyone is playing something different at the same time ... and yet it all gels together in a perfect blend of richness ... because Kanami (lead guitarist and composer).
I like that phrase
During my first listening of Unseen World I thought to myself Band Maid has perfected their wall of sound. Seems I am not alone in that regard.
You know that meme with the wall of awesome speakers and the writing on the meme says, "What do you play first?" my thought is Onset. Hands down.
"Highly Controlled" chaos!! Rock On 🤘🔥🎸
Coming back to you, mate!
I am probably (definitely) repeating comments that will surely come to you soon!
This particular video is actually old by their standards. Miku, the rhythm guitarist had started learning the guitar from scratch only 5 years before that particular concert! Truth be told, she had been practicing every day for 8 hours (with rare breaks when promoting the band) under the teaching of Kanami. She actually confessed she hated the whole experience at first but kept doggedly at it. What else can we say?
Akane, the drummer, for all her goofing is a very well balanced lady who plays only what is right, and you do really have to bully her into playing long solos. She can also play the piano and trombone! Her music school mate, Misa, like her, had a jazz education on top of a classical one. But her technique of tucking her pick inside her index before slapping her bass is so quick that I very much doubt anyone in a rock band can equal her!
Ever quiet and assuming Kanami has a classical education dating back to the age of 4 and composes everything on the piano first and confessed she sometimes has problems with learning how to play her own compositions on the guitar later!
But what I have just said will be repeated until the world ends. Now, I must compliment you (sorry for the paternalistic attitude of mine!) on the fact you pointed out that they brought a new way of thinking on a basically western style of music. Mind you, if you listen to some famous Japanese jazz players, you will quickly understand that music will always progress and evolve with contributions from other cultures. No one has the ownership of any music the moment you start sharing it! After all, many westerners come to Japan to learn traditional Japanese music!
Blimey, that was another rant! I sincerely apologize!
On a different note, could you check this video:
th-cam.com/video/3q9FNU7lw2M/w-d-xo.html
Asterism live in Los Angeles when heir female guitarist Hal Cal (Haruka) was only 17! Also features a 7-sring bass!
Do not tell me I am having you work overtime! LOL
Take good care of yourself (ves)!
Best regards,

I think MISA's bass tone is most interesting because the sound is predominantly between bass and mids at the same time, she has one of the best tones in term of sound frequencies between bass, lower midrange and midrange
I always see mention of Misa's trick of tucking her pick into her index finger (and rightfully so!) when she switches to bass-slapping, but I think it is just as remarkable that Kanami uses her middle finger for fret tapping all while still holding her pick with her thumb and index finger for switching styles as well, very impressive!
Yeah. After you learn how to tap, the the next thing you need to figure out is how to adapt that to playing live. Some people put the pick in their mouth, but then you can't do that quick enough, so that only really leaves the old middle finger! 😁
This performance gave a turbo-boost to my admiration for this band. I was already helplessly plummeting down the pigeon hole, but having this vid served up to me the first time was like handing me a cartoon anvil to speed up my journey. I agree - tho there's nothing new under the sun, they have managed to remix sounds, techniques and concepts and create a Band-Maid sound.
You now have experienced how smooth and listener friendly Band-Maid can be. Do you want to hear Band-Maid with a pinch of dissonance and more chaos? Their latest album have several good canditates:
Black Hole - Their fastest and most frantic song to date. The double feature Manners / Black Hole Live provides a great contrast in styles.
Giovanni - Band-Maid doing prog!
No God Live - Mmmm, that bass!
H-G-K - All over the place! Kanami needed a couple of months to be able to play it. Yes, she is a composer first and guitarist second 😁
I respect your reaction videos so much. Most "react" TH-camrs just sit there & nod their head to the song, maybe say something like "wow that was great" & call it a video. It's refreshing to see a musician's insight and thoughts on what they're listening to.
Thanks Noir! That's exactly what I'm attempting to do. I feel like I can create a bridge for non musician fans to gain a deeper understanding of the songs they love.
Don't get me wrong most of these artists are better than I will ever be but I feel like I can break it down in simple terms for the layperson.
Just to help remember, Miku has a red rose in her hair. Kinami is the one doing the tapping throughout this song.
Band Maid is the only band that can melt your face and your heart at the same time.
Red Rose Miku, Sept. 14, 2017 interview: At the Band forming nobody in our band had done "Hard Rock" so we had started without knowing anything - we have grown greatly musically as a Band.
I haven't been this excited by a band in a VERY long time. It was love at first listen. Band-Maid can rock with the best of them.
Great reaction, and you nailed it with your description of what they do. Their brilliant songwriting (which a person really doesn't understand until they've heard 20 or more of their songs) is all (mostly) down to that mild mannered genius lead guitarist, Kanami Tono. She can afford to squeeze a ton of ideas into one song, because coming up with new ones is like breathing for her - seemingly anyway. She's a flat out genius of composition and arranging. Their recent stuff can be about three times as dense as this, and while sacrificing a a bit of the accessibility factor, shows that they just continue to work their tails off and get better and better. They're awesome. Cheers!
I really love your "reactions" (analysis is better word here). Always has an added value on top of your enjoyment of the music. As you mentioned "rooted in hard rock", "mesh of different influences and creating their own sound" along with their own cultural influences.
I propose that you go to song "Gion-cho" next to see how "own cultural influence" can elevate the music. Band is called BAND-MAIKO, not to be confused with BAND-MAID (or should it.. 🤔).
Just search BAND-MAIKO Gion-cho in youtube and you'll find it.
PS
Maiko is an apprentice geisha, or geisha in training. If you were to be confused once you check out the song.
Cheers and have a good one. 👍
That was one of the better explanations of Band Maid sound I have heard. I'm older guy who grew up on 60s-80s rock and first time I heard Band Maid (song was Play)...I thought I hadn't heard a new band sound like that in a long time...it had that old school sound but yet it was different and interesting. You verbalized the appeal well.
damn! I was looking forward to your "onset" reaction, but I was late because of my work! However, I am always surprised at your analysis. Even though you've heard it for the first time, you can express it properly. But I have to heard a few times. I also play the guitar, so the complexity is always harder than I thought I would try a guitar cover. The lead guitar Kanami is a composer, arranger and producer. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Band-Maid is a Kanami band. However, I think this band is made possible because there are excellent members who can handle the complicated structure. I hope you can dig deeper into this band. If possible, my favorite song "Blooming".
Lately I've also been listening a lot to Rush. I don't know if you agree with me on this? But BAND-MAID sounds a bit like them sometimes. Their playfulness and unconventional jumps in the rhythm are a bit reminiscent of what Rush does/did. I find it as a good thing and very attractive to my ears.
Whatever you do, check out the Unfair Game. That song does not get enough attention. Misa plays a lot of notes off beat against Akane's drums. Kanami's solos are incredible, as usual. All in the band go crazy and it's the most amazing sounding chaos you can imagine. But the one that shines the most is Saiki. As she sings the song makes me fall in love in her. This song is a masterpiece.
Before this song came out a few years ago, I had NEVER heard a Rhythm Guitar Solo in a song! Just classy and well done all around. This made them my fav band of all time. This CRAFTSMANSHIP!!!
16:11 You mention that they not only put their heavy rock through the prism of five women but also five Japanese people. Their song "Gion-cho" by BAND-MAIKO (their alter ego band) really brings both of those aspects to the forefront and is highly recommended. It is a song that would probably never be written by five guys or five non-Japanese people.
you should do puzzle live.. you have to look for it. puzzle live is my favorite.
A great song to do is Puzzle. Incredible song, well layered. Kanami is an incredible guitarist and composer.
In the last verse, Akane's drum pattern is completely different and it sounds so awesome!
if you listen to many of band-maid's songs, akane has these really great variations between verses and it's awesome
Accurate!. That comment about pass rock music through the japanese cultural prism is extremely sharp. These five ladies blend all of the styles or families of rock music and they distill their own sound in the process. Fancy one more step in this amazing mix?. Try listening to the Band Maiko song "Secret Maiko Lips." I'm not going to spoil you, but it's about delving MUCH deeper into the amazing musical mix between rock and Japanese tradition... and it's not wasted. Great job sir! and thank you.
Thanks for the tip!
there are no ego's in band maid they all do what is best for the song and the listener, i think you maybe are ready to do a 2fer Manners/blackhole live to cover both their musical diversity and tecnique oh and for the pure chaos lol
💯% correct, all of it.
The MISA 'PickFlick' was on display....so many reactors seem to miss this. Someone else picked this up but when Miku does her solo bit MISA is right behind her waving her arms in support. Kanami tapping out the melody shows how she can arrange music and elevate it above the ordinary. It's four minutes of rockgasm..
Great review - can't wait to see them live if they get to UK or Europe. Love the way the song has so many layers going on and ramps up. A real treasure and a masterpiece of composition and amazing ability. A great example of how a band can be cohesive but also allow each member to shine. Lost count how many times I have listened to it. Many times I have parked the car and just had to listen to the end before getting out.
California welcomes BAND-MAID on their 2022 tour.
we definately do welcome them . can't wait till october here in San Diego. going to a "warm up" concert at House of Blues next month to see The Warning and scope out the venue for best place to watch B-M from :)
I'm in my mid- 70's and have been following rock since the mid to late 1950"s and Onset is the finest instrumental I have heard in almost 60 years. Kanami is a savant in her songwriting, with her complex and perfect rythms and layering that are just.............I have no words to describe it !!! Miku is an excellent lyricist and has the prescience to add in English in almost every song, which she said was a way to get the rest of the world interested in their work. Their musicianship is just fantastic, Kanami, Akane and Misa are at the top of the heap in their respective areas and Miku has evolved into a very good guitarist after not knowing how to play the guitar when the group was formed. Akane's work as being basically the musical director of the group does a fantastic job along with Misa in laying down the main beats and providing the proper base for each song. I think they are the most perfectly tuned-in group out there today. They never disappoint and I can't wait for their show in NYC on October 28th, 2022, it will be amazing.
I'm just not going to get sick of you talking about music that I love. Can't wait for the next one. :)
Wow! Thanks Matt!
Fast song anyway, but the last two bars of the last tapping solo by Kanami goes double time.
Yeah. That is something I'll probably pick up on when I listen again tomorrow and think, "Damn! How did I not notice that during the reaction!?"
It happens far too often. 😆
She way she changes that tapping part to give it resolution is great.
as a drummer, akane is a beast!! if you pay attention to the drums , you can hear how she’s the best drummer!
i love how they add a little bit more to the song to fill in the gaps, that you would swear there couldnt possibly be any gaps in that chaos until they fill it, with each rotation.
They are also relentlessly awesome.
This song has also been known as Saiki's Pee Break. Thank you for the breakdown. I love listening to them so much and have enjoyed your breakdowns (I'm not a musician). I look forward to hearing you do another Band Maid in the future. While you can't go wrong with the amazing two-fer of Manners/Black Hole, you might want to try the Band Maiko song, "Secret Maiko Lips". Band Maiko was their April Fools performance which was so popular, it resulted in an EP of Band Maid as Band Maiko. I don't want to spoil the fun, so I'll leave it there.
Nice reaction mate! If ya want a bit heavier song of theirs try the song Rinna! Akane's double kicks are on point 🤘😊🤘
As a former drummer, the first time I saw this video shortly after I found Band-Maid a tick over two years ago, I notice Akane's wrist movement. Someone mentioned it being a certain playing style she learned at the Tokyo School of Music. Unfortunately I can't remember what that style is called so maybe you can help out. It's a style where she is overly rotating her wrists and it just intrigues the hell out of me because I've never seen a drummer play with this style. It's seen her and in "Freedom" LIVE during her tiny solo. What say you PC?
I’m not sure which part you’re referring to but I’m assuming it’s either what I’ve been taught as the push-pull technique or the Moeller technique.
She uses both.
BAND-MAID TRIVIA: Miku is the founder of the band and the original lead singer...she fired herself as lead singer and recruited Saiki...and, before BAND-MAID she had never played an instrument. Kanami taught Miku to play guitar.
Kanami's guitar is usually way too quiet in the mix. This song is a real showcase for her. Great review!
I don't mind the pauses in the video in exchange for the musical insight. The few seconds rewind before jumping back in is good too. Love the video. Keep up the good work 😀
You totally nailed it. This is their chance to let it all out instrumentally--it was often called "Saiki's Pee Break". Lots of changes of time signature, much more technical than most of their songs.
It certainly keeps your attention.
Lol at Sakiki's pee break. 😂
Yes, they are talented and each of them could effortlessly fill the 4 minutes on their own, but for them, it's always about the overall result of the song. And I think your explanation fits it pretty well. I have described this song several times now as a 'cultivated conversation' among musicians, where I, as a non-musician, don't get bored listening even after hearing it several times, because I keep hearing something new. 4 talented musicians who use their instruments to express themselves.
_____________________
【 _Our rock never dies ever. Forever!_ 】- from BAND-MAID 'Manners' 🕊️
Thanks! That's on interesting perspective. I often wish I could hear things as a non musician from time to time.
@@PrymalChaos Since I got to know this band, the same is true for me, only the other way around. I sometimes really wish I had more knowledge about what I'm listening to. Especially because at the first hearing it seems, indeed, sometimes a little 'chaotic', but my ears say they like it. 🤭🙋🏻♂️
I'm sure you've heard this before, "Rock and roll never died, it just moved to Japan."
BAND-MAID may be the tip of the iceberg (in a gateway drug sense) for many of us, but since I started down this rabbit hole a couple of years ago I've not found even a hint of the bottom. J-metal and J-rock just keep on giving, and I couldn't be happier!
Since it's relevant to todays selection, perhaps add the bands Asterism and D-Drive to your list. They are both instrumental only, if you're interested in doing some more that on your channel.
I need to check out Asterism soon!
I agree with this and it goes beyond rock music. You could probably argue (easily) that Japan has the most vibrant music industry and community in the world today. Not by accident-there is solid arts and music education and many bands get their start as early as high school (Asterism members met at a music event for youth at an even younger age, IIRC, Kanami picked up guitar in high school, Misa and Akane when to music school, etc. etc).
Akane, MISA, and Kanami could easily be an instrumental trio side project if they wanted. Miku has come a long way from pretending to play guitar or playing single notes here and there to becoming the solid rhythm guitarist she is now. I love the contrast in tones between between her and Kanami.
Miku's actually a great rhythm player. I wasn't aware of her story. So she wasn't originally a live player? That's pretty cool. It's a bit like the current singer from Gacharic Spin was originally just a dancer/performer and now she is a killer front person.
@@PrymalChaos Miku has an interesting and unique origin. Her hometown is Kunomoto, Japan, where she worked in her first maid cafe. She then moved to Tokyo where she worked at another maid cafe called @home cafe. She won a "super idol audition" - I don't know who held it - and quit working at the cafe. She joined a three-piece idol group called Lil Cumin, but that lasted only a year because they weren't catching on and Miku wasn't feeling the straight pop of the group. She went to management and said she wanted a rock band, but she wanted to keep the maid look that Lil Cumin used during the end of their existence.
They gave her the green light, so Miku found Kanami on TH-cam. Kanami was writing, playing, and singing her own songs, though I've never seen them and don't know if those videos still exist. Kanami had worked with Akane, and Akane went to music school with MISA. The four decided to hold auditions for a singer because Miku had decided that her voice wasn't strong enough for rock. That's when they found Saiki. The maid concept was hoisted on Saiki at the last moment, and she's always refused to wear an apron.
Miku had never picked up a guitar before, so Kanami started teaching her. In their first music video, "Thrill," Miku is holding a RIckenbacker guitar that she bought because she thought it was pretty. She never actually plays the guitar, just kind of looks cute around it. I've seen some early festival footage where she barely plays it or has her back to the crowd while looking like she's playing it. With her work ethic, though, and Kanami's teaching, she's evolved into the Zemaitis-playing pigeon she is now. She has always taken the lead in their interviews, and she's the band's primary lyricist.
I don't know what Miku's real name is. Before BAND-MAID, she went by Mika Noguchi, but as far as I can tell, that's believed to be a stage name too. Here she is ten years ago when she was still Mika.

Great reaction man! Whats next time to listen the hard rock side of the band check manners(mv)
this has been recommended before, but now it's time for diversity, a 2 fer manners/black hole live. but wear seatbelts for song two
"Band-Maid prism" That's a good way to put it! Their sound is very thick and layered, but still easily accessible and enjoyable on the outside.
There's a lot of ways you can go next, but I think you might want to consider listening to something from their newer album (Unseen World) and singles, something maybe a bit more modern and progressive sounding. I say sounding because Kanami always finds a way to make any song catchy, no matter how heavy or weird.
Some ideas would be: Sense, Black Hole (live with Manners, a 2 song video, showing past and future BM sounds), Giovanni, H-G-K (not videos, just on the playlist). Corallium and Hibana are also good from the Sense single, but not videos.
Looking forward to what's next!
Kanami is featured on this one and she is the composer of all the music for the group. Miku is great on rhythm and it is amazing to think that she didn't know how to play guitar until she started this group, but with Kanami as her sensei (teacher) you can tell she is putting in the time. One interesting thing, once Kanami composes the tune she send demo's to Misa (bass) and Akane (drums) so they can add their parts. Typically an instrumental break in a show like this is for Saiki to get a break from all the out of this world vocals she does. Great music!
Very cool sound. Love Band Maid!
Kanami when she started out really loved the sound of Santana's PRS sound so you hear it a lot in her playing,
Kanami is a big fan of delays. She has three separate and different ones on her pedal board.
Ahh yeah. That makes total sense. She has a great ear for tunes and how they fit within the scope of the band's sound.
14:17 "You lose a lot of the engagement with the audience who aren't interested in listening to the bass player play for 15 minutes. You know what I mean?"
No. I don't know what you mean. You picked the wrong bass player, and the wrong fan base for that example. 😉MISA! MISA! MISA!
But, seriously, I do understand what you're saying, and BAND-MAID have quite a few instrumentals to choose from. I'm excited to see which ones they play in October.
This tour is gonna be the next big step for them in the west.. it feels like the Japanese scene is a powder keg ready to explode into mainstream western music. Band-maid already seem hugely popular, but I can see them becoming household names if these tour/festivals do their job.
It's kind of a fan cliche, but really every Band-Maid song takes multiple listens to appreciate: one overall, then one apiece focused on each instrument, lead vocals, and backing vocals. Even after you wrap your head around the elements, there's still more depth in the composition, arrangement, how they play off of one another, and the lyrics. That was a really good assessment in the middle of how they're not so much re-inventing the wheel as building on and pulling together classic forms to create something fresh but somehow familiar. Jack at the Jbf Music & Guitar reaction channel has pointed out that there are even industrial and dance-y elements that aren't obvious because one doesn't expect them from a guitar-based rock band.
💯% true 🤙🏼
The epihany I had about Band-Maid today is that the band is completely composed of prodigy-level artists. Lots of bands have pieces of that; A great Bass player here, a fantastic drummer there. Some have a kick-ass singer. But the rare combination of having that whole group be at that level makes it just amazing to listen to. An example that comes to mind that is NOT Band-Maid is the Nine Inch Nails touring band that Trent Reznor put together in 2006 for the With Teeth tour. All of the musicians are high level, but the drummer is over the top genius level and mixed with the perfection that Reznor demands, it makes the live concerts something amazing to listen to, even on the bootleg recordings. Band-Maid has that same level of competence. They are all REALLY good, and they like what they do. As I listen to them more, I realize that Misa is actually a gifted Prog Rock bassist. I hear the STRONG influence of Yes in her playing (specifically, Close To The Edge era styles). I'm not an expert on music or anything. I'm a data geek/car mechanic (yeah, I know, weird combo), but I LOVE music, and I could not live without it, and hearing Band-Maid for the first time was as transformative as hearing Oingo Boingo for the first time (which changed my life).
If you watch some of the last tour of USA fan cams you see Kanami guitar tech tapping a pedal when Kanami is playing. She is tapping the tempo to the song on the delay pedal for her. This happens on big bands but you won't see it. K uses her delay pedal alot so different songs have different tempos so she would be adjusting here delay time constantly. So her tech does it for her.
……………………………. Akane!
Try Manners/black hole
I mean...how many instrumentals give even a short solo to the rhythm guitar?
As an FYI- Band-Maid just dropped their latest MV - the instrumental for FROM NOW ON. Which has surpassed ONSET as my favorite instrumental!
lol... "Hope they live up to the hype."
you did it again. bringing up The Edge.... and I can't help seeing the maid costume on Bono now as well... Still, great breakdown.
Hahaha.

Great prediction Robert.👍
Every bass player I’ve shown MISA to loves her tone.
It's Soo good.
Thanks PrymalChaos!
Thank you!
Kanami influencer is Carlos Santana so we do hear alot of Santanas riff and licks in alot of her guitar playing especialy in songs like Choose me etc.❤
This song is 100% Mincho...but Akane's drums are awesome compliment. I mean, Kanami is a self-admitted nerdy girl, with a degree in economics...but, then she picks up her PRS, and becomes a guitar GOD! BTW, Kanami's influences are Santana and Larry Carlton...and guitar is her 2nd instrument. She was classically trained on piano from about 4 years of age.
'onslaught' is the most famous bathroom break song for the ice queen.
They call the song "Saiki's pee break." It gives the singer a break in the middle of the concert.
You’ll learn names, for sure. Next could be Blooming and Puzzle. Two monstrous songs especially Puzzle. Then Anemone with bluesy Kanami solos.
Oh yeah, If you want more Japanese Metal with harsh vocals, try Deviloof and their song Newspeak 🤘😁🤘
MISA MISA MISA! 15 minutes of MISA dong her thing TAKE MY MONEY!!!

Hey hope all is well. Been in a bit of a rut lately, havent really felt like engaging much. Any chance of getting to any more MTH soon? Either way keep up the great work, always appreciate you.
Helo prymal can you react the rumbling official video by sim I hope you enjoy that song
Plus with a 5 string she gets and extra register
I love that she uses it too!
Very glad to see you continuing to explore Band Maid, they tour a lot internationally so hopefully they'll pass near you sometime, they're well worth seeing live!
If you want to continue the theme of checking out instrumentals from bands you've been giving some love to lately, why not take a look at this Gacharic Spin instrumental: th-cam.com/video/VXAB83r0lbQ/w-d-xo.html It's title is "ニコリン星の通勤ラッシュ" (pronounced: "Nicorin Hoshi no Tsuukin Rasshu", translated: "Nicorin Star Commuter Rush")
God reaction!
Uh hello sir, I wanted to ask you, if its not too indiscrete, are you also colour blind ? Anyway, I do enjoy the way you "hear" music (Band-Maid first 😁😁. I love the band, but I also like the reactors for what they bring in as human beings. That's so warm in the coldest times in this world
Yes I am colour blind. That's why I support Enchroma. I am actually a 'Stong Protan'
I am also an artist, so that gets interesting. 😆
Try to react my favorite bandmaid song DICE
My opinion is that MISA has the most PERFECT bass tone. She does run a little fuzz/distortion on her sound but it is very subtle and can usually only pick up on it during the higher register notes. When she does that little run during her solo you can hear it a little bit at the beginning. She runs a few pedals but rarely messes with them during a show as opposed to Kanami who has a very elaborate pedal board and will switch around multiple times through the course of a song.
Again, you've just broken the surface here with their sound. But you're 100% correct in that what they are doing is taking "traditional" hard rock (metal), jazz, blues, pop and throwing it in a blender and reinterpreting all of it. They have 3 or 4 different genres in one song if you listen closely and they all flow seamlessly from one into the other.
For some of their more edgier stuff I'd suggest looking at their recent releases from Unseen World or World Domination; No God, Black Hole, Warning!, Rinne, Dice... will all be good choices I am confident you'll enjoy.
Thanks Brian! I agree, great tone.
Thanks for the recommendations I'll check them out.
My Friend, great reaction again. The 'tapping girl' is Kanami (lead guitar and main musical composer) and Miku (pigtaisl and red rose) is the rythim guitar, main lyrics and founder of the band. So far she is the less skilled of them but she is improving really fast and Kanami is acting as her teacher. I said so far because it seems that she is going to be another monster in the band. Also Miku is the massive weapon of this band and we all know it. Probably we All are going to be surprised with her skills now after two years off because the COVID. Finally don't forget a fact and a devotion we The Maidiacs have: No Miku No BAND MAID. Miku is the owner of the Holy Grial and BAND MAID is the Holy Grial of Rock
Ah! I take it you did not manage to watch the recent Acoustic Christmas concert? You should really go watch it. Miku does a major surprise there for all her critics to see. She may not match Kanami's skill level yet, but she can stand tall as a guitarist, all on her own 😊
Excellent reaction Mr. Chaos. When you take everything into account this is my favorite instrumental ever. The lighting, the lasers, the atmosphere, the instrumentation, the performance, the Maids and the MUSIC. You should know by now that BAND-MAID is Awesome. Peace - now more then ever.
He's good isn't he :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 Absolutely, one of the few! 🤘🏻🔥
メイド服でHardRock?アイアンメイデンとどこが違う?知名度の差か？
Are BAND-MAID the best band in the world? Yes, yes they are, Kanami told me to say that so blame her.😏
Gary, you are irresponsible! LOL
@@robert-gillesmartineau1208 I can only tell the truth, what could i do.🤷♂️
And it's proven every time I listen to anything current other than Band-Maid.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I happily blame Kanami for reviving my Hard Rock soul 🎶🎵🎶 ❤
@@GaryHolloway-810 Lol!😁
First time I've watched one of your videos and after looking through your previous videos I notice you haven't done any Babymetal videos. Is there a reason for that, not your cup of tea perhaps? At least do the Mischiefs of God intro which leads into Rondo of Nightmare.

I did gimme chocolate, which led me down this Japanese rabbit hole to begin with. I have been meaning to go back and research them more but it's so hard to stay on target with so many great bands!
@@PrymalChaos in my opinion it's the Kami Band that makes Babymetal the phenomenon they are. Here's a link to the aforementioned performance th-cam.com/video/tmMocP99QkQ/w-d-xo.html
Because of the length of their shows...They use this song as a Saiki vocal break. Afaik they play for 2-2:30 hours without an opening act. They also have a couple of other songs they use for this same purpose.
