People will flood you with comments about the Band now, be prepared. If you want to be completely blown away check their live perfomances. They have some on their official channel. Doesn't matter which one, they are all outstanding
Band Maid is currently one of the best Hard Rock band in the World right know. They are very technical as their songwriting and composition are genious. If you are a technical musician you will be able to spot those technical compositions on all of their songs.
Nice reaction, KeV & DaVe. Looking forward to more Band-Maid from you (oh yes... there will be more!) and witnessing your transformation into full, wacko Maidiacs. ;-)
All five of them are actually really pretty ... and sometimes at first it prevent people to focus on how good they are on their instruments! So I bet this video is made in purpose. Please check any of their 2020 (Line Cube) concerts - they're even better live!
From JAPAN ■ Introducing BAND MAID and the latest news. (^^♪ Thank you for Reaction BAND MAID. BAND MAID is a 5-member girls rock band. They are hard rock band and are now considered by fans to be one of the best hard rock bands in the world. They usually perform 23 songs and 2 hours live. They were formed in Japan in 2013 by side guitarist Miku Kobato. Kobato had experience working at a maid cafe in Akihabara Tokyo and had the idea of playing hard rock with a maid costume. That's why the band was named Band-Maid. "Thrill" was their first music video in 2014, played 2 million times in two weeks and saved them from breaking up. At that time they were just around 20-23 years old. And then they have been doing LIVE overseas and increasing their fans. Now they are writing, composing and arranging all the songs. 31 songs have been released on their official TH-cam, all of which are killer songs. BAND MAID's online full live December 13th.

Saiki : Lead vocal, the youngest, and member call her a teacher and she make various decisions. likes bullet trains.

She has a lot of friends. Misa : Bassist, stage drinks are liquor, play with bare feet. She is the most shy and reticent. good at cooking
My favorite band ever. If you wanna hear an even faster paced song, Different is their newest song which they made as an opener for an anime (and there are subtitles btw) If you want a more "regular" rock song, Dice is a good one. It's the one that got me into them. The two most popular ones which go over well with reactors are Domination and Freedom. Please, if you choose one of those, go with the live versions found on their YT channel from Feb 14th 2020. Trust me, you will be told constantly to watch them live instead of the MVs lol Lastly, if you want something slower and more melodic, Daydreaming is the perfect one and is one of my all time favorite songs. Thanks for checking out these wonderfully talented and beautiful women!
I have a feeling you’ll love the official MV for “Dice” and “Bubble”. If you want to see them live, “Domination” would be my best recommendation to start with. All of them are available on their official youtube channel.
Check out "Domination"live or almost any of their other videos if you want to see their faces. One thing you will see besides their phenominal musicianship, they really enjoy what they are doing. They are a feel good band. If you want to hear them sing in English the whole way through then watch "The Dragon Cries" which David Bowie's producer worked with them on.
The more of their music you hear the more beautiful they look. The more you see them the better their music sounds. The better they look. The better they sound. To infinity and beyond.
hello to you, welcome to the band maid universe, hooked up because blooming is only one of their many songs, their live performances are of just as good quality, do you want to hear more?
Welcome to the Fellowship of Maidiacs. All with good musical taste are welcome. Do the 2020 live videos...you will see why we are all crazy about these five women. BTW, all five of them range from adorable to downright beautiful.
@@eatsmylifeYT Happy New year to you Jigs. Yeah I got bad food poisoning over Christmas. I'm still recovering & feel tired all the time so I haven't had the energy to leave many of my high brow comments. I did see you'd asked where's Gary G on another channel but I could barely lift a finger to respond. Soz for that :)
@@DavidMISAMISAMISACook Haha. I'm 70% better. I did respond to your circle select comment but I've since found my reply isn't there. I said "We have a Jigs". That'd be an interesting meeting. Lol & a half :)
Great reaction. Band Maid, best live rock band out today. They combine rock, metal, punk, pop, jazz and progressive into a sound all their own. Check out more live videos on their website, suggest - Real Existence, Play, Domination, Freedom etc etc etc and MV's - Rinne, Different, Blooming etc etc etc. You will have a smile on your face every time.
You guys should check out any of their Live performances from their Feb 14th 2020 show, directly on their official TH-cam channel. Freedom is a bit of their more traditional Rock performances, but it's well lit and can see their faces.
Welcome to the world of Band-Maid. You just witnessed the very talented all female rock band from Japan. Their songs are mostly upbeat and have very catchy chorus. Their music are more reminiscent of 80s/90s hard/heavy rock sound with some pop and metal elements. If you like this video, then I think you will be blown away with their live performances. A few suggestion would be "Domination", "Freedom", "Play" and "onset". If you prefer a heavier sound, then the MV video "RINNE" would a good choice. Gentlemen, your journey has just began. These ladies has an entire Discography that are good and I kid you not. Great first reaction and looking forward for more.
Make sure you check out their live stuff also. Real Existence, Don't You Tell Me, Puzzle, Moratorium, Domination, Wonderland, Onset, Freedom, and Play (Live from Shibuya) are all crazy good. Most of those should be available on their TH-cam channel.
Welcome aboard gents...so much fantastic music from this band. This collection of world-class musicians will quickly become one of your favorites; Thrill was their breakout MV, Different is their latest release. They don't show you their faces so you wont get distracted from the music. 😉
MOAR BAND-MAID! Check them out live! This is the best rock band around! The saviors of rock! You can usually see them in the MVs, this is one of the few exceptions. EDIT: I LOVE the outro!
I thought you guys already discovered Band-Maid but I was wrong. So welcome to this wonderful surprising train ride where you are going to lose your socks.
Welcome to Band-Maid. they do varying rock genres: pop rock, soft rock, rock ballads, punk rock, classic rock, hard rock, heavy metal. the coolest thing is, they are even BETTER LIVE!! I do however recommend go thru their music videos 1st so that you can experience it before your mind gets blown with the LIVE versions! they don't care if you see their faces in the video, they want you to "focus on the music". it should be what really matters.
To be fair, this is more Hard Rock rather than Metal. The official lives are amazing as they usually add some solos and stuff and the audio mixing is great (except that the lead guitar is a bit low in my opinion). But they are amazing live. And they have fun! They shine with joy when they're on stage!
You are about to get a flood of band maid fans coming into your channel, myself included. We like videos, subscribe, and only bite occasionally. :) If you want more Band Maid, I recommend an official live video from their TH-cam channel. Domination, Freedom, and Play are all good choices.
Their base sound is kind 80s-90s rock with hybrid rock & j-pop vocals. Onto that they have pop-punk and metal influences. Their secondary influences are very eclectic, but they do have a signature sound of their own. They tend to make an impression very quickly. Get ready to rock. Give the "Dice" video a try than go for the live stuff. They have loads of good songs.
You'll get to see their faces in other videos, especially the live ones. One of my favorites is Akane the drummer who always has a huge grin on her face while she's beating her kit into submission.
You can't see them well because they want to show their talent rather than their looks. Recently they've been showing themselves alot more because everyone knows how damn talented they are so no need to hide ❤️
Their MVs are all similar in that you get to see their instruments and hands... so only the 2 vocalists sort of show their faces because they sing. To see their faces, watch their live performance videos and their random off-stage videos.
This group is better live than in their music videos. You need to listen to a well-mixed version of their live shows, though (not cell phone recordings). Look for the songs "Domination" and "Freedom" from their live show on Feb 14 2020 at Line Cube Shibuya. Your respect for their musicianship and stage performance will go way up.
5 ladies with more talent between them than all the rappers, hip hoppers and ganstas between them. The lead guitar, Kanami, writes all the songs, taught the rhythm guitarist to play, is a classical trained pianist and has a degree in economics. She can also sing.
The way this video was shot was a stylistic choice, almost all of their other videos will provide better show of each member. This track is a bit older and still plans a little towards their pop rock side. Newer tracks are harder and heavier. Recommend checking out live take to really see and hear what they can do, specifically: Domination, Freedom, and Play are really a great introduction to the band.
MISA!!!! MISA!!!! MISA!!!! 🥃🥃🥃 Badass Bass Assassin. 1 song down and at least 93 songs to go. My suggestion would be to react to their Live videos because they are 10 times better You get to see how talented they are enhancing many of their studio recordings. Their high energy is non stop from beginning to end at every concert. They are the best hard Rock band in the world right now. Welcome to the Pigeon 🐦🕳
Really enjoyed this reaction! Do KeV and DaVe come with any English subtitles?😄 Guys, it’s like my Scottish Band Maid fanatic EvilCorkin says, “They’re fookin’ emehzin’!!”💪🏻🤘🏻Happy New Year y’all!
Listen to Freedom Live, band maid are always at their best live and freedom is a great song to watch live not only for the song but also to see how they interact as a band too!

Welcome to Band Maid Gents , MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! the Barefoot Bass Assassin , and the rest of the Band is Miku Kobato AKA Pigeon ( Band founder worked at a maid cafe ) Rhythm guitar 2nd vocals n lyrics , Kanami Tono Lead guitar / shredder writes n arranges music , Akane Hirose AKA Gorilla , Drums , Saiki Atsume AKA Ice Queen , Lead vocals , Fan Base known as Maidiac`s
Welcome to your journey down the pigeon hole. I prepared this little guide to help you handle the adventure you are about to embark on. Once upon a time in Japan.... Miku (Who is a 300+ year old pigeon... long story) was in a short lived "idol" band in Japan and ended up working in a "Maid Cafe". She came up with idea to create a rocking band in maid costumes. A "Gap" as its called in appearance to action. Miku found singer/songwriter Kaname (Lead Guitar and main Composer), who knew Akane - AKA "The Gorilla - she likes bananas a lot! (drums - Jazz and Classically Trained), who knew Misa - AKA the "Barefoot Assassin" (Bass, Jazz and Classically trained). [Grab a post-it now and paste to your desk - Miku (B/U and Rhythm,) Kaname (Lead) Akane (Drums) Misu (Bass) Saiki (Vocals)] Putting it together... It became apparent Mikus voice wasn't really suited to the style and so they decided to go find Lead Vocals and brought in Saiki. This basically put Miku out of a job in the band she created, but instead she adapted and Kaname started teaching her guitar. That's right. She couldn't even play in the first video they did 6 years ago. Now she has a 70-80s style aggressive punk style attack on rhythm and Kaname is constantly expanding her guitar parts in challenging ways. All while singing backup. Personally, I never could sing and play ha-ha Their first actual song they wrote and recorded was "Alone". They have changed label since and have joined a new one now for the new album going into 2021. Their look, songs, style etc. are their own. Not studio directed. Pretty cool these days. Note: Miku is the main lyricist and writes in heavy metaphors that can be interpreted many ways and often confusing in translation. So, they often add parts that audiences of any language can sing along.
Here you are RWS. I'm subbed to our Japanese Madiac friend Haro Matsu (Just type his name). He has the largest collection of B-M stuff on his channel. If you scroll to his "BAND-MAID reaction video collection" it contains every B-M reaction on YT & is updated throughout the day. It's the quickest way of finding the latest B-M reactions. Feel free to sing my praises :)
Band-maid is awesome. Only this video. Other video you do see their faces. Have you ever react to the Japanese band name Scandal? If not you should check them out. I can give you some suggestions and links for Scandal songs. I hope you do a react video for Scandal songs soon. Have a great day.
No matter how good you think you play a musical instrument, there is a Japanese Lady who plays it better! (paraphrased/stolen). First Band Maid has been touring in the UK for several years. They write, arrange and produce their music. All are highly talented, professional musicians with experience as background/secession musicians. Last year they worked with producer Tony Visconti (David Bowie, T Rex) on a the song "The Dragon Cries". It's not metal it is ROCK. The lighting for the MV was a director being artsy! Check their official live MV's. Domination is good start.
Bro, check out LOVEBITES (All Japanese Female Heavy Metal Band) live at Zepp Diver City Tokyo 2020, all songs are in English....watch they play song Holy War..
They have more videos that show more of them. But this one was more of a challenge to emphasize the song on such a minimal set. You really need to check out their live videos, they won't disappoint.
Two takes on why you cant see their faces. 1 Most focus is on instruments. So Basically- "Its More imortant how we Play & Sound than how we look" Or Another idea. Going with the title theme "Blooming" You see more of their faces as the video progresses So the Band is Blooming through the Video opening up/ showing off more
3:25 This video is where they started focusing on the band's musicianship instead of the band's attractiveness. I think it has to do with the band wanting to be recognized for their talent and not their looks.
You've opened a door now which leads to other various tunnels. 😂 Band-Maid are truly outstanding but it will also lead you to LoveBites, Babymetal, DollsBoxx, Unlucky Morpheus and many many other amazing Japanese rock and metal bands. It's like a box of pringles, once you pop you can't stop. Check out Band-Maids Different, Freedom, Domination, Onset, Moratorium first off, LIVE if you can get them. If your vibe is power metal, LoveBites Thunder Vengeance Live or Holy War Live. If its rock/pop DollsBoxx Dragonet or Take Your Chance. If it's metal gap shock value Babymetal Headbanger Live or Road of Resistance Live but Rondo of Nightmare (with Mischiefs of gods intro) and PaPaYa are also standout. Enjoy your journey. 👍😊👍
yes they are awesome and I think Blooming is their best and it's recent. History of them started in 2013, so THRILL first song MV, then DICE, then live Freedom, Onset, Puzzle, Daydreaming MV. That'll get you going.
Actually you can only see the faces of the two vocalists. It will always be a blur for the Lead Guitar, Bass and Drums. It has always been that. If you want to see them clearly, watch the concert videos.
Band Maid, like many other Japanese bands, are so much better live. In my view their music videos are pretty poor with one or two exceptions. Miku, who plays rhythm guitar, use to work in a Maid Cafe´ in Japan and had the idea of cute maids playing rock. If you venture further into Band Maid, you will discover this is very true. It all started with their song called Thrill, which thanks to TH-cam, saved them from disbanding as the release of their first CD in Japan, did not sell particularly well. Here is the link to Thrill: th-cam.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/w-d-xo.html
Hello KeV & DaVe Regarding to the video never shows their faces well , This is just my opinion. In this video they may appeal not just a cute idle group. Actually all the members are beautiful. But I suppose they wished to listener to focus on their play. So that's their confidence showed here. Stay safe. from Tokyo
Blooming isn’t probably the best song to introduce one to Band Maid, because there awesomeness cannot be fully appreciated. FYI, Band Maid is the best hard rock band going, in the entire world. Watch their very first video “Thrill” and expand from there. The live performance versions of “Moratorium”, “Play”, “Freedom”, & “Domination”. Their live versions are always better than the studio originals. Enjoy, mates !!!

They are a rock band, with elements of metal, punk, jazz, old school rock, etc. I grew up with the Beatles and Zep. These ladies can hold there own.
AC/DC, VH and RUSH. I agree 100%
Michael, same as you, Hendrix, Cream, Beatles, Zeppelin, etc and these ladies deserve to be added to rock's elites.
They even sprinkle some hip hop elements at times ;)
Band Maid is currently one of the best Hard Rock band in the World right know.
They are very technical as their songwriting and composition are genious.
If you are a technical musician you will be able to spot those technical compositions on all of their songs.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single BAND-MAID song.
Live! Live is where it's at. Bon voyage.
Nice reaction, KeV & DaVe. Looking forward to more Band-Maid from you (oh yes... there will be more!) and witnessing your transformation into full, wacko Maidiacs. ;-)

The best on bass, Misa! the best guitar solos, Kanami!! the gorilla in the battery, Akane! the best hard rock from japan! and possibly the world!

Their base sound is kind 80s-90s rock with hybrid rock & j-pop vocals. Onto that they have pop-punk and metal influences. Their secondary influences are very eclectic, but they do have a signature sound of their own. They tend to make an impression very quickly. Get ready to rock. Give the "Dice" video a try than go for the live stuff. They have loads of good songs.
Congrats!
You just main-lined the BAND-MAID gateway drug!
No escape for you now. 😉
It's just this bid relaxe and yes this journey is just starting try going to the beginning with thrill you'll see there faces then
You'll get to see their faces in other videos, especially the live ones. One of my favorites is Akane the drummer who always has a huge grin on her face while she's beating her kit into submission.
You can't see them well because they want to show their talent rather than their looks. Recently they've been showing themselves alot more because everyone knows how damn talented they are so no need to hide ❤️
Soooo much more!!!
40 ish songs ... 😃
🤘🤘🤘
Please check out their live ( Feb 2020 concert) version and as bonuses see their faces too 😄
Their MVs are all similar in that you get to see their instruments and hands... so only the 2 vocalists sort of show their faces because they sing. To see their faces, watch their live performance videos and their random off-stage videos.
This group is better live than in their music videos. You need to listen to a well-mixed version of their live shows, though (not cell phone recordings). Look for the songs "Domination" and "Freedom" from their live show on Feb 14 2020 at Line Cube Shibuya. Your respect for their musicianship and stage performance will go way up.
Hi. Mr. Kev and Dave. Band Maid just got a new song 👍
5 ladies with more talent between them than all the rappers, hip hoppers and ganstas between them. The lead guitar, Kanami, writes all the songs, taught the rhythm guitarist to play, is a classical trained pianist and has a degree in economics. She can also sing.
The way this video was shot was a stylistic choice, almost all of their other videos will provide better show of each member. This track is a bit older and still plans a little towards their pop rock side. Newer tracks are harder and heavier. Recommend checking out live take to really see and hear what they can do, specifically: Domination, Freedom, and Play are really a great introduction to the band.
Welcome to most beautiful and amazing band on the planet and you ain't heard nothing yet!
MISA!!!! MISA!!!! MISA!!!! 🥃🥃🥃 Badass Bass Assassin. 1 song down and at least 93 songs to go. My suggestion would be to react to their Live videos because they are 10 times better
You get to see how talented they are enhancing many of their studio recordings. Their high energy is non stop from beginning to end at every concert. They are the best hard Rock band in the world right now. Welcome to the Pigeon 🐦🕳
I see you had the same idea as me then. Great minds think alike :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 I'm learning from the Master. I am but the learner
@@curtisrrobles7885 Who needs to learn when pictures say a thousand words.
@@GaryHolloway-810 I believe that the written word can convey a story more eloquently than a few pics This is why I post pics 😉
@@curtisrrobles7885 Haha & sometimes it's better to use a mixture of both. It works for B-M with Japanese & English ;)
Band maid are the best hard Rock band on the planet - no exceptions. They have 30+ songs this good and their live stuff is top tier.
Really enjoyed this reaction! Do KeV and DaVe come with any English subtitles?😄 Guys, it’s like my Scottish Band Maid fanatic EvilCorkin says, “They’re fookin’ emehzin’!!”💪🏻🤘🏻Happy New Year y’all!

HOLY INFLUENCER BATMAN, the Maids just dropped a new tune called Influencer. Killer song and the lyrics are on point. Don’t miss this one gentlemen
I think you two are ready for a live video, so try Domination (official live video).
Listen to Freedom Live, band maid are always at their best live and freedom is a great song to watch live not only for the song but also to see how they interact as a band too!

Onset, live instrumental. Puzzle, Domination, Moratorium, The dragon cries.
Welcome to your journey down the pigeon hole. I prepared this little guide to help you handle the adventure you are about to embark on.
Once upon a time in Japan....
Miku (Who is a 300+ year old pigeon... long story) was in a short lived "idol" band in Japan and ended up working in a "Maid Cafe". She came up with idea to create a rocking band in maid costumes. A "Gap" as its called in appearance to action.
Miku found singer/songwriter Kaname (Lead Guitar and main Composer), who knew Akane - AKA "The Gorilla - she likes bananas a lot! (drums - Jazz and Classically Trained), who knew Misa - AKA the "Barefoot Assassin" (Bass, Jazz and Classically trained).
[Grab a post-it now and paste to your desk - Miku (B/U and Rhythm,) Kaname (Lead) Akane (Drums) Misu (Bass) Saiki (Vocals)]
Putting it together...
It became apparent Mikus voice wasn't really suited to the style and so they decided to go find Lead Vocals and brought in Saiki. This basically put Miku out of a job in the band she created, but instead she adapted and Kaname started teaching her guitar. That's right. She couldn't even play in the first video they did 6 years ago. Now she has a 70-80s style aggressive punk style attack on rhythm and Kaname is constantly expanding her guitar parts in challenging ways. All while singing backup.
Personally, I never could sing and play ha-ha
Their first actual song they wrote and recorded was "Alone". They have changed label since and have joined a new one now for the new album going into 2021. Their look, songs, style etc. are their own. Not studio directed.
Pretty cool these days.
Note: Miku is the main lyricist and writes in heavy metaphors that can be interpreted many ways and often confusing in translation. So, they often add parts that audiences of any language can sing along.
Here you are RWS. I'm subbed to our Japanese Madiac friend Haro Matsu (Just type his name). He has the largest collection of B-M stuff on his channel. If you scroll to his "BAND-MAID reaction video collection" it contains every B-M reaction on YT & is updated throughout the day. It's the quickest way of finding the latest B-M reactions. Feel free to sing my praises :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 That sounds like a nightmare I just had and now am having again
@@Running-withscissors Gosh what odd praises you sing :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 haha
Love watching people loose their BAND-MAID cheery!
classic! lol :) -Dave
I subscribed just to make sure to see when you react to them live. I'd suggest Domination live from early last year. Don't let me down!
Band-maid is awesome. Only this video. Other video you do see their faces.
Have you ever react to the Japanese band name Scandal? If not you should check them out. I can give you some suggestions and links for Scandal songs. I hope you do a react video for Scandal songs soon. Have a great day.
more!
other song!
live ver. !
I would like recommend:
Bandmaid Glory official vid. or Bubble official 🤟
Just watch their other videos.. You get to see their faces.. 👍👍👍
No matter how good you think you play a musical instrument, there is a Japanese Lady who plays it better! (paraphrased/stolen).
First Band Maid has been touring in the UK for several years. They write, arrange and produce their music. All are highly talented, professional musicians with experience as background/secession musicians. Last year they worked with producer Tony Visconti (David Bowie, T Rex) on a the song "The Dragon Cries".
It's not metal it is ROCK. The lighting for the MV was a director being artsy! Check their official live MV's. Domination is good start.
Bro, check out LOVEBITES (All Japanese Female Heavy Metal Band) live at Zepp Diver City Tokyo 2020, all songs are in English....watch they play song Holy War..
Might as well do Different next.
They have more videos that show more of them. But this one was more of a challenge to emphasize the song on such a minimal set.
You really need to check out their live videos, they won't disappoint.
Ah cool we will do a few more 👍😊.... Kev
Two takes on why you cant see their faces.
1 Most focus is on instruments.
So Basically- "Its More imortant how we Play & Sound than how we look"
Or Another idea.
Going with the title theme "Blooming"
You see more of their faces as the video progresses
So the Band is Blooming through the Video opening up/ showing off more
More, please! (wrote this before I watched your reaction). Choose live videos if available.
okay you just have to react to their live performances, especially FREEDOM and DOMINATION!
3:25 This video is where they started focusing on the band's musicianship instead of the band's attractiveness. I think it has to do with the band wanting to be recognized for their talent and not their looks.
You've opened a door now which leads to other various tunnels. 😂 Band-Maid are truly outstanding but it will also lead you to LoveBites, Babymetal, DollsBoxx, Unlucky Morpheus and many many other amazing Japanese rock and metal bands. It's like a box of pringles, once you pop you can't stop.
Check out Band-Maids Different, Freedom, Domination, Onset, Moratorium first off, LIVE if you can get them.
If your vibe is power metal, LoveBites Thunder Vengeance Live or Holy War Live. If its rock/pop DollsBoxx Dragonet or Take Your Chance. If it's metal gap shock value Babymetal Headbanger Live or Road of Resistance Live but Rondo of Nightmare (with Mischiefs of gods intro) and PaPaYa are also standout.
Enjoy your journey. 👍😊👍
yes they are awesome and I think Blooming is their best and it's recent. History of them started in 2013, so THRILL first song MV, then DICE, then live Freedom, Onset, Puzzle, Daydreaming MV. That'll get you going.
Oh boys, you've got no idea what you've done... Pandora's box is open now, so you gotta react to their Live vids too
domination, the official live version. You will be converted.
I'm here for Kanami's solo.
Just check/review Japanese female metal band called: Lovebites, songs: Holy War
great vocal and guitar solos. All song in english
I'm a band-maid fan, but when it comes to metal, lovebites is probably no.1. I like the way band-maid sticks to their distinctive formula though.
@@lurkmerchant top female hardrock: band maid
top female metal : lovebites
These girls will punch you in the face and you will like it! Their live stuff is fantastic
Actually you can only see the faces of the two vocalists. It will always be a blur for the Lead Guitar, Bass and Drums. It has always been that. If you want to see them clearly, watch the concert videos.
MISA MISA MISA!
Band Maid, like many other Japanese bands, are so much better live. In my view their music videos are pretty poor with one or two exceptions. Miku, who plays rhythm guitar, use to work in a Maid Cafe´ in Japan and had the idea of cute maids playing rock. If you venture further into Band Maid, you will discover this is very true. It all started with their song called Thrill, which thanks to TH-cam, saved them from disbanding as the release of their first CD in Japan, did not sell particularly well. Here is the link to Thrill: th-cam.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/w-d-xo.html
I don't know if I'd say their following is huge, but we're pretty rabid.
🐰 oh you said rabid !
Hello KeV & DaVe Regarding to the video never shows their faces well ,
This is just my opinion. In this video they may appeal not just a cute idle group.
Actually all the members are beautiful. But I suppose they wished to listener to focus on their play.
So that's their confidence showed here.
Stay safe. from Tokyo
Hello Friends , react Lovebites Amazing band , Swan Song , Holy War , greetings from Chile 🇨🇱 , God Bless You .
Blooming isn’t probably the best song to introduce one to Band Maid, because there awesomeness cannot be fully appreciated. FYI, Band Maid is the best hard rock band going, in the entire world. Watch their very first video “Thrill” and expand from there. The live performance versions of “Moratorium”, “Play”, “Freedom”, & “Domination”. Their live versions are always better than the studio originals. Enjoy, mates !!!
