They did an online live performance yesterday and it was a blast. Misa was walking around drinking Asahi beer 😂 it was a really fun show. Btw, Miku does have songs where she's doing the lead vocals. My personal favourite is Time. Then there's Rock in Me and Beauty and the Beast as well 💖
@@Space_Ranger yeah..but the quality was amazing and I guess they kept it short so that we'll anticipate more when concerts return eventually 😊 and I actually chanted "Moe, Moe!" at work 😂
@@lopezbruno3074 haha..yeah and her expression was soooo adorable 😂 best part was when she asked if the rest wanted to join in on her Omajinai Time chant but all of them replied no at the same time 😂 but Mincho managed to squeeze in a cute little "yes" reply 😂 Their energy though was amazing and that was without a crowd in front of them
It's easy to think that about Misa because she's definitly badass looking. But she's actually a sweet girl, both shy and goofy. The real commanding tower during rehearsals is Kanami. And the most physically abusive (especially towards the poor Miku) is Saiki! Akane is the BFF of everybody and Miku is the guide, the spokespigeon and Saiki's eternal victim (their dialogues are hilarious).
@@lakenneth374 It's old, dating from the beginning of the band (you can see her talk about that in some early interviews) but it was more about organizing things (like rehearsals) because they're all so messy. But later she said she hadn't been long in charge. Don't trust Google to much for acurate infos, read their interviews.
Absolutely! On the behind the scenes footage on the DVD, it's remarkable to see the normally shy Kanami become the dominant force during band rehearsal.
The one who acts as the taskmaster and keeps everyone in line for rehearsals etc, is actually the lead guitarist Kanami, the one who appears the most shy and awkward in their interviews. It might have to do with her being the main songwriter and arranger. There are some behind the scenes clips from this same concert where they show their practice session and they also introduce the instruments they use and stuff.
from an interview.. for one of their first meetings, it was maybe Saiki and MISA that showed up late, and Kanami was almost in tears.. cried for them to never be late again, which i guess, they haven't been. seems like she's the sort of person you just don't want to upset.. coz you'd feel absolutely terrible if you did.
Kanami is actually the one keep the band in control. A funny story about them: Miku, Misa and Saiki used to be late when they have a meeting, Kanami didn't mind too much but on other day they were 30 minutes( or more) late and Kanami got really angry, she cried and said " please ... never be late again T_T", they dont want to hurt their princess anymore so they've been on time since there :)) .
Akane is the most outgoing and appears to have friends everywhere. In some of the music videos they make visual jokes about her eating, particularly in the two Band Maiko mv’s.
I heard Misa takes at least 1 shot of Jim Beam before she goes on stage, in some of these live videos you an actually see the bottle sitting on her amp behind her so I basically spent this entire video trying to see if it was there.
Chowder would have found that super attractive haha. That's cool! I had heard stuff about her and drinks but it was said in a joking manner so I didn't know if it was legit or not. I guess she is a drinker
@@dicodec She likes booze, when she sits in any interviews that is all she thinks about, at least that was her excuse when the interviewer saw her looking like she wish she's somewhere else and ask her something.
Misa's drinks are always on top of her orange amp. Rechecked the original vid and at 3:35/3:36 you can see it behind kanami during a closeup of hers. A can of beer (asahi probably) and a small jim beam bottle. 😉
Actully Misa is quite shy. Miku and Saiki are the ones who "defend" and take care the others. Akane is the most organized and "normal", while Kanami is the bohemian creative soul but the true "boss" in rehearsal or composition time.
As the owner of a beautiful purple Schecter I could never judge someone for owning such beauty. If Kanami and Emmpu from Nightwish play purple guitars, that's good enough for me.
Schecter you say? What kind? 😀 Makes me wanna get a purple guitar though. I just bought one and immediately regretted it because I found out later they have the same one in purple. -Eric
There use to be a live version of this song from their Zepp show where Miku got to shine 2x on lead vocals. Once at same spot as this version and then towards the end Saiki goes a bit into the audience to sing, she gets kidnapped by that audience so Miku had to bring it home on vocals. Though that version didn't have the kick ass drum solo by Akane.
I swear Akane is the spirit child of Animal the drummer of Electric Mayhem! All that musical violence done with a big smile on her lips. She's perfect!
OK, I have been singing and making blues and rock music for money since 1966...and these girls kick more ass than any band I have ever seen. Musicianship coupled with showmanship coupled with talent coupled with hard work and perseverance. I'm ready to put these 5 ladies in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame now...and I mean, RIGHT NOW!
So you're a fellow musician, very nice! Always great to see fellow musicians giving props to desering artist/bands! These ladies are totally deserving.
@@dicodec but you should do it as a double reaction. 'Secret my lips' MV first (original version), then afterwards the 'secret maiko lips' MV (band maiko version).
@@dicodec They changed their website on April 1st 2018, brought out the Secret Maiko Lips video, and told fans they were going a change of image and sound. It's common for fans to try to trick reactors into thinking Band-Maiko is a cover band doing "their own version" of the song, but unfortunately you always get some "know-all" steaming in, 'informing' everyone that actually they are the same band. As said, see "Secret My Lips" first, so you can appreciate the changes. The song also features the best Saiki/Miku harmonies in their catalogue.
And also, there was some fancam live concert in EU last year with that song " Time" and "Rock in me", lead vocal by Miku, really gread pop rock song, I love them.
MISA is the type of person who sit in the background watching her friends go crazy, if they were the straw hat pirate from one piece, MISA is Nico Robin,
Your P.R.S. is pretty dope. I would've gone with the standard P.R.S. trem over the Floyd Rose, personally. I would have to say that Kanami's guitar is a. artist package as opposed to a core line. So hers is going to have some attributes that are better than yours or mine.
@@dicodec Yeah I could see that yours was a Custom 24. But considering that I didn't see you listed on the Artist roster, that it was a core model. There's nothing wrong with Core models as they are the primary models of the company! The Artist models are above that, then Private Stock (Holy Grail P.R.S.).
HI GUYS JUST TO LET YOU KNOW I HAVE SEEN THAT MAXIUM THE HORMONE ARE GOING TO BE ACTIVE NEXT YEAR PLAYING HELL FEST IN FRANCE SO MAYBE THEY WILL PLAY THE USA . ALSO BAND MAID ...MIKU IS THE BOSS SHE WRITES ALL THE LYRICS IT WAS HER IDEA TO FORM A BAND WEARING MAID OUTFITS .KANAMI WRITES ALL THE MUSIC LATERS BYEEEE
That's awesome! Hopefully we can make it out to a MTH show. As for Band-Maid Miku and Kanami are the dream team.😍 Also heard that it's Kanami keeping everyone in check.
@@dicodec MISA's best friend (and drinking buddy) outside the band is Ainyan, bassist for Silent Siren. But, actually, both MISA and Akane suffered through being in the backup band for the lame-ass J-Pop failure, Becky. MISA is actually quite shy...she spends her spare time with her good friend, Jim Beam. LOL
nice reaction! little tips about BANDMAID menbers names Japanese name has meaning sometimes SAIKI brilliant queen KANAMI music wave KOBATO(miku) little pigeon(She think herself a pigeon) AKANE and MISA can`t find specific meanings which often used for girls name AKANE madder MISA beautiful sand MISA is often called "barefoot assassin"
Miku Kobato, his not her real name by the way, it means "little pigeon" and she finish all her phrases by "po" or "kurrupo", the "coo" in english. it's the same thing for her name in "band maiko", it's mean something about piegon too. and the nickname of Akane is "A-chan"
Dude I was reading in an article that Misa likes to keep a flask of bourbon on her during all concerts! She’s def very similar to an American rocker haha
According to Saiki and Miku in an interview: when they were preparing for this album, the girls wrote several songs but their record company rejected all of them except for "Alone". The record company however let Miku and Saiki wrote the lyrics for a few songs. Miku got to write the lyrics and raps for this song.
@@dicodec Just to clarify, this is not the case for their last three LPs where they have handle both music and lyrics themselves. It just shows how much they had to fight to get the record company trust them.
You're talking about 'Brand New Maid', which came out in 2016. A year later, with the 'Just Bring It' album, they were responsible for the majority of the tracks, and Miku contributed lyrics to everything except for 'OOPArts' and 'So, What?'. The rest of the lyrics were all Miku, or Miku/Saiki.
@@dicodec yeah. People think Miku didn't give much contribution to the band just because her guitar play isn't as good as Kanami. They just don't know what's behind the scenes. She deserves more credit!
@@FarisaAzmi As someone who can speak japanese better than english, I acknowledge her intelligence as a lyricist. If you understand japanese, you will realize that band-maid songs are easily to grasp the meaning of its lyrics, but very difficult to sing. Thanks to Miku the other members can focus with their expertise. reddit[dot]com/r/BandMaid/comments/hfc9mt/why_miku_is_a_great_lyricist
Nice reaction! Their smiles forever.Their online live was amazing yesterday. Next「Ghoul by Bridear」「Marionette by MARY'S BLOOD」please! Their bases are so good and Bridear dress like Band Maid.
Misa only does Mean Motherfucker on stage. Offstage, she's all smiles. You even got a glimpse of her smiling ONSTAGE here. That's as rare as hens teeth! 😋
Nice reaction as usual! I think my favorite of their songs is this live version of this song. By the way, I always thought the song at the beginning of the video was pretty cool. Is that original? I wanna get a longer version!
Thank you so much! It's pretty dope, is it better than the studio version? Yes the song is an original. Unreleased at the moment. We are still trying to figure out the vocal situation for that song.
@@dicodec In caps dude she has to stand out from the other Misa's in Japan there is at least one Good/great Guitarist called Misa and a lot of porn stars with that name apparently. Thanx for the good reaction.
@@dicodec BTW, Kanami is seen by her band-mates as a "natural airhead"...and a musical genius. Remember, guitar is not her first instrument...she's only been playing guitar for about 8 years. she started as a pianist. Also, both MISA and Akane started out as brass players...yes, Akane plays a mean trombone. Miku worked in a maid cafe for three years and was cut by her original label and management group (Amuse). So, how would you like to be known as the producer who threw BAND-MAID in the bin...kind of like the guy who said that guitar music was dead after turning down The Beatles. Miku writes the lyrics and Kanami writes the music...kind of a Japanese Lennon/McCartney. One day, they will be in the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame. All five girls have endorsement deals...Kanami (PRS), Akane (TAMA), MISA (Orange), Saiki (Sennheiser), and Miku (Zemaitis). That little pigeon (po) put together one hell of a band.
I do miss little hat though. Where for art thou tiny hat? Haha yeah that's one of the thing we like about them for sure. Their genuine love of music and what they do.
@@dicodec it was a cool look while it lasted. Originally Misa was supposed to wear that tiny hat but quickly tossed it to Akane. There is a pic of Misa floating around with that hat on her head. Dark Bass Queens don't wear Kawaii (cute) hats, lol
They do call me saw the (assassin made) because of her wearing a long black dress!! She originally wore a maid outfit like the 2 guitarists and the drummer but she hated it! Lol
If you want to her more Miku singing lead, look for Rock in Me. They don't have a video on their TH-cam, but you can find a live version from their first dvd that someone uploaded, that has good quality sound as long as the video hasn't been taken down. Plus you get a little interaction from Miku with the audience and the band between songs
I don't know if you have reacted to "Play" live from Zepp, but Misa is playing that bad-ass bass as a lead guitar....you will be shocked and awed when you hear what she does to the bass...or in "Turn Me On"....she is the grand jewel in that band, you are right, she is a bad-ass musician....and hot too))) Since I found Band-Maid, I am an addict, guys....!!! Awesome PRS by the way and the color is dope too)))
They are just SOOO Good! Love Band-Maid. Another band you may like that has a lot of cross-over fans with Band-Maid is a band called The Warning. They are 3 teenage sisters from Mexico and they are Amazing!! Do yourselves a favor and check them out!
Band-Maid = G.O.A.T! If there one thing y'all should know about me Is that I love female fronted bands. So anytime there are females kicking butt. I'm There! -Eric
@@dicodec awesome!! The Warning is totally independent and they already have an EP and 2 full albums of originals all in English! The second album, Queen of the Murder Scene, is a concept album... Teens doing a Concept Album!! It is a masterpiece and I am a picky old school Rocker. They also have a Spanish Single out, that kicks ass, and a 3rd album on the way this year, and the oldest sister just turned 20! Do any song off Queen of the Murder Scene, and you won't be disappointed. There is not one bad song in their entire catalog. BTW, they've already played most of the major festivals in Latin America, and opened for Def Leppard and the Killers twice each, and played The Whiskey-a-go-go 4 times, 3 times headlining and sold out.
the 1st time i heard of band-maid was on a random playlist of Baby metal.....since then the only group i listen is Band-maid..There're waaaaaayyyyyy to great ! they should be world-wide....why there's ppl don't know them yet!!
@@dicodec i'm a french canadian and I'm trying to spread the word but when i ask my co-worker what kind of music the listen...they are like...AC-DC, Iron maiden, Metallica-----then i say ok...listen to this....they all say ''the beat is hot but we don't understand what they say''.....so i'm like....''OK..so you understand english ??? '' and they said not really.....(facepalm).....loll PS: You have a beautiful purple guitars XD :P
Hi from the UK something for you to check out the band is called nightwish it's a symphonic metal band from Finland with a Dutch singer floor Jansen (the valkyrie) this band has a massive following in Europe and the internet Nightwish ghost love score wacken open air concert 2013 Nightwish romanticide wacken open air concert 2013 Nightwish song of myself wacken open air concert 2013 Nightwish story time wacken open air concert 2013 And prepare for the nightwish army to arive at the door lol
Hey there, Welcome! For sure. I'll jot down all of those suggestions. Just be patient with us. We've got a ton of request to ge through. We will get to them as soon as we can.
Misa is the name of a leading porn star in Japan. There are a million Misa in Japan. There is only one MISA. And that is the reason she stylizes her name in all caps. It is not anymore difficult to type MISA as opposed to Misa and if you didn't know now you do. Thank you. Sacramento loves Band-Maid.
@@dicodec Thank you. Some probably consider it a petty thing but consider how you might feel if your name was in lights and it was misspelled. That is my only point. Thank you for helping to promote what many of us consider the best hard rock band working anywhere on the planet today. Maidiacs everywhere appreciate it very much.
She made her own style of her name which is really dope. These ladies really are deserving of their success. Glad y'all suggested this band to us at the beginning they have quickly become one of my favorites. Thank you sir for helping us out with all things Band-Maid 🤘
@@dicodec They took me prisoner back in January of 2017. They turned me into an unapologetic, unhinged fanboy after watching them perform in LA last September. Very best regards. Stay well. Keep those around you you care about well. And we will all get together on the other side. Very best regards. Any friend of Band-Maid is a friend of mine.
There's another live version where Miku sings a bit more and I've seen son fan recorded videos of Miku having to step up as lead singer due to malfuctions in Saiki's microphone. So she's always ready to fill in if needed and it's a nice change of pace when you're already used to the songs sounding a certain way.
In the zepp tokyo live version of freedom, saiki got lost during crowd interaction and miku had to step in to finish the song. Saiki returned shortly after but without her shoes. They were lost in the audience. 😅🤘
Miku: The one that always goof around till it gets to Saiki's nerve, who ends up restraining her most of the time. Akane: The oldest one, keeping the girls in check, yet the fastest to join Miku's shenanigans. Kanami: Spartan of the practice room. Alongside Akane, she's commanding the flow of the practice. Saiki: The youngest one. It's amazing that even with her ice empress aura, Miku isn't afraid to mess with her. Misa: The chillest one. Casually sits in the back watching all the stuff above.
@@dicodec Its like anything else, though, you need the right tool for the job....although the right guitar depends on what sound you are going for. Musicians and Mechanics are a lot alike in that regard....can never have too many tools in the bag!! Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!

Drummer AKANE HIROSE was appointed "Leader" of the band, because of her organization whereby she keeps the girls on time and in line.
Google: . Akane is the band leader and is in charge of organising the band’s rehearsal and performances - “They put a lot of trust in me!”

That's so precious haha. That's cool though you wouldn't really expect it from her. She seems so shy and awkward.
Misa doesn't beat up the others, that's Akane job when the other get out of hand.
Although it's sweet little Kanami who goes full "school-mistress from Hell" when the others screw around too much during rehearsals.
Lol! I can imagine her throwing drums sticks at them.
Or say something like I'mma beat you like I beat my drums.
@@dicodec They did a video, in which they give little clues in to their offstage personalities. Don't you tell ME
Misa probably just sits in the corner looking straight into their soul with her assassin eyes while holding a katana...oops, I mean, a bass.
xD
Akane is the most outgoing and appears to have friends everywhere. In some of the music videos they make visual jokes about her eating, particularly in the two Band Maiko mv’s.
My favourite photo of her is the one with Haruna from Lovebites sitting in front of a drum kit.
Haha shes so adorable. Her personality always comes through in some of the instagram stories I've seen of them.
Band-Maid always puts on a solid show!
No doubt. Everything single time flawless!
Akane beat those drums so hard that Neil Peart heard them. He'd have loved her.
She was a half machine/gorilla killing those drums haha. Did Neil Peart really listen to her play? That would be epic 😲
If you look closely you can see even Misa is smiling during this one :)
I gotta see that. Let me take a look 😍
Seeing Misa smiling it's way dangerous. She's disarmingly beautiful.

Interesting. She seems like such a rebel. 🤔
She’s also the nicest and funniest according to the other ladies.
@@dicodec MISA's best friend (and drinking buddy) outside the band is Ainyan, bassist for Silent Siren. But, actually, both MISA and Akane suffered through being in the backup band for the lame-ass J-Pop failure, Becky. MISA is actually quite shy...she spends her spare time with her good friend, Jim Beam. LOL
5:16 PRS!!
🤘😃🎸
nice reaction!
little tips about BANDMAID menbers names
Japanese name has meaning sometimes
SAIKI brilliant queen
KANAMI music wave
KOBATO(miku) little pigeon(She think herself a pigeon)
AKANE and MISA can`t find specific meanings which often used for girls name
AKANE madder MISA beautiful sand
MISA is often called "barefoot assassin"
Akane - AKA DRUMZILLA
Miku Kobato, his not her real name by the way, it means "little pigeon" and she finish all her phrases by "po" or "kurrupo", the "coo" in english. it's the same thing for her name in "band maiko", it's mean something about piegon too.
and the nickname of Akane is "A-chan"
Those are meanings of Chinese characters of there names. Still It seems to me those characters are not real one and changed by there wish or hope
Thank you! Oh now I makes sense. I've been seeing comments about pigeons and brilliant queen and was totally lost. Thanks for clearing that up.
@@dicodec It seems pigeons are cute in Japan, rather than annoying birds that crap on your car.
Dude I was reading in an article that Misa likes to keep a flask of bourbon on her during all concerts! She’s def very similar to an American rocker haha
Gotta get a Zemaitis that Miku Kobato plays 😎 😎
How much does that guitar brand even go for?
@@dicodec Miku is playing an aces and 8's current price is around $1500.00. The pearl one she plays in the "Bubble" video is around $4500.00.
Dicodec
She’s a Zemaitis sponsored artist.
According to Saiki and Miku in an interview: when they were preparing for this album, the girls wrote several songs but their record company rejected all of them except for "Alone". The record company however let Miku and Saiki wrote the lyrics for a few songs. Miku got to write the lyrics and raps for this song.
Oh wow! Didn't think something like that would happen. 😲
@@dicodec Just to clarify, this is not the case for their last three LPs where they have handle both music and lyrics themselves. It just shows how much they had to fight to get the record company trust them.
You're talking about 'Brand New Maid', which came out in 2016.
A year later, with the 'Just Bring It' album, they were responsible for the majority of the tracks, and Miku contributed lyrics to everything except for 'OOPArts' and 'So, What?'.
The rest of the lyrics were all Miku, or Miku/Saiki.
You guys should check out "Unending Sorceress" by Unlucky Morpheus and "Awakening (Full Band Playthrough Video)" by Unleash the Archers. Thanks!
Unending sorceress reaction was filmed yesterday. Unleash the Archers I shall add to the list.
@@dicodec Awesome! Thanks!
😀
@@dicodec yes, you definetly do, i'ts a canadian band, and the singer Britney Slayes is often compare to the singer of Nightwish and Epica
Need more Miku🤩
She is adorable 😍
@@dicodec yeah. People think Miku didn't give much contribution to the band just because her guitar play isn't as good as Kanami. They just don't know what's behind the scenes. She deserves more credit!
@@FarisaAzmi As someone who can speak japanese better than english, I acknowledge her intelligence as a lyricist.
If you understand japanese, you will realize that band-maid songs are easily to grasp the meaning of its lyrics, but very difficult to sing.
Thanks to Miku the other members can focus with their expertise.

Nice reaction!
Their smiles forever.Their online live was amazing yesterday.
Next「Ghoul by Bridear」「Marionette by MARY'S BLOOD」please!
Their bases are so good and Bridear dress like Band Maid.
Thank you! I've got Mary's blood and Bridear on our list. So very soon we will react to them.
@alan you such a showoff!!! lol
i love that purple PRS :-P
Yeeeeeaaaaaa totally was being a show off, I went to many videos without showing it.
@@dicodec Please warn us if you decide to wear your maid outfit. lol.
@Bill Fold there will be no warning. You will just be surprised by two grown men in maid outfits haha.
@@dicodec That would be hilarious, lol. T-shirts would be okay . Subbed.
Misa only does Mean Motherfucker on stage. Offstage, she's all smiles. You even got a glimpse of her smiling ONSTAGE here. That's as rare as hens teeth! 😋
Ah i see so we got that vibe from her stage presence haha. Glad to see she is really all smiles. Misa! Misa! Misa! 😍
@@dicodec One of the best bassists in the world, in ANY genre. It's a crime she isn't well known outside of us fans.
Nice reaction as usual!
I think my favorite of their songs is this live version of this song.
By the way, I always thought the song at the beginning of the video was pretty cool. Is that original? I wanna get a longer version!
Thank you so much! It's pretty dope, is it better than the studio version?
Yes the song is an original. Unreleased at the moment. We are still trying to figure out the vocal situation for that song.
1:10 Miku "motto ikeru po" it's a bird Language.
Interesting 🤔
BAND-MAID is:
Miku (MEE-koo): guitar/vocals. Saiki (SA-ee-kee): vocals. Kanami (KAH-nah-mee): lead guitar. MISA (MEE-sa, MEE-sa, MEE-sa): bass. Akane (AH-ka-neh): drums.
Oh sweet! Thanks for that break down. This will come super handy.
Check out WONDERLAND to see Saiki go full tilt.

MISA MISA MISA!
Misa! 😍😍
@@dicodec In caps dude she has to stand out from the other Misa's in Japan there is at least one Good/great Guitarist called Misa and a lot of porn stars with that name apparently. Thanx for the good reaction.
check out when the dragon cries live
Already recorded. Should be out soon.
BTW, Kanami gets her PRS for free...she has an endorsement...and PRS himself really likes her.
I figured she had connections but wow! So cool!
@@dicodec BTW, Kanami is seen by her band-mates as a "natural airhead"...and a musical genius. Remember, guitar is not her first instrument...she's only been playing guitar for about 8 years. she started as a pianist. Also, both MISA and Akane started out as brass players...yes, Akane plays a mean trombone. Miku worked in a maid cafe for three years and was cut by her original label and management group (Amuse). So, how would you like to be known as the producer who threw BAND-MAID in the bin...kind of like the guy who said that guitar music was dead after turning down The Beatles. Miku writes the lyrics and Kanami writes the music...kind of a Japanese Lennon/McCartney. One day, they will be in the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame. All five girls have endorsement deals...Kanami (PRS), Akane (TAMA), MISA (Orange), Saiki (Sennheiser), and Miku (Zemaitis). That little pigeon (po) put together one hell of a band.
I was wondering where you went.
It's a Kanami guitar model!😆
Indeed it is haha
guitar
MISA!!!!! MISA!!!!!!!!!!! MISA!!!!!!!!!!!! Akane is awesome in this video.........
They're all so adorable! 😍 Akane showed those drums who the boss is haha.
@@dicodec she usually does and always with a smile. That's one of the appeals of Band-Maid. We love that they love what they do on and off the stage.
I do miss little hat though. Where for art thou tiny hat? Haha yeah that's one of the thing we like about them for sure. Their genuine love of music and what they do.
Dicodec
The little hat hurt her head.
So Miku took it away.
@@dicodec it was a cool look while it lasted. Originally Misa was supposed to wear that tiny hat but quickly tossed it to Akane. There is a pic of Misa floating around with that hat on her head. Dark Bass Queens don't wear Kawaii (cute) hats, lol
They do call me saw the (assassin made) because of her wearing a long black dress!! She originally wore a maid outfit like the 2 guitarists and the drummer but she hated it! Lol
Ah I see, that's some pretty cool insight. 🤘
@@dicodec I meant MISA not me saw! Stupid phone! Lol
That did kind of threw me off but I understood you though haha.
The rehearsal commander is actually Kanami, the lead guitarist. Surprised!!!!
Yes I am surprised haha. She seems like such a precious that needs to be protected.
If you want to her more Miku singing lead, look for Rock in Me. They don't have a video on their TH-cam, but you can find a live version from their first dvd that someone uploaded, that has good quality sound as long as the video hasn't been taken down. Plus you get a little interaction from Miku with the audience and the band between songs
Hey we're down. We could all use some more Miku in our lives 😍
I don't know if you have reacted to "Play" live from Zepp, but Misa is playing that bad-ass bass as a lead guitar....you will be shocked and awed when you hear what she does to the bass...or in "Turn Me On"....she is the grand jewel in that band, you are right, she is a bad-ass musician....and hot too))) Since I found Band-Maid, I am an addict, guys....!!! Awesome PRS by the way and the color is dope too)))
Nice, we have to definitely check that out
There you are ✌👏
😊
If you want to hear Kanami(doing back vocals) listen to puzzle/anemone acoustic versions 😉👍
Yup yup we reacted to puzzle acoustic and heard some sick backing vocals. We got to check out Anemone for sure.
They are just SOOO Good! Love Band-Maid. Another band you may like that has a lot of cross-over fans with Band-Maid is a band called The Warning. They are 3 teenage sisters from Mexico and they are Amazing!! Do yourselves a favor and check them out!
Band-Maid = G.O.A.T!
If there one thing y'all should know about me Is that I love female fronted bands. So anytime there are females kicking butt. I'm There! -Eric
@@dicodec awesome!! The Warning is totally independent and they already have an EP and 2 full albums of originals all in English! The second album, Queen of the Murder Scene, is a concept album... Teens doing a Concept Album!! It is a masterpiece and I am a picky old school Rocker. They also have a Spanish Single out, that kicks ass, and a 3rd album on the way this year, and the oldest sister just turned 20! Do any song off Queen of the Murder Scene, and you won't be disappointed. There is not one bad song in their entire catalog. BTW, they've already played most of the major festivals in Latin America, and opened for Def Leppard and the Killers twice each, and played The Whiskey-a-go-go 4 times, 3 times headlining and sold out.
Gorilla Smash! I love Bando-Maid live so much and my kuruppo 💝💝💝👗👍🎸🎌✌
Akane is too cute to be gorilla. 😍😍 Band-Maid is sick!
Where's Chowder gone? He missed out.
He returned to his natural habitat and has been set free.
Listen BEAUTY AND THE BEAST from bandmaid, all song sings miku
Miku singing?......we're in!!
@@dicodec yeap,
Rock in me
Beauty and the beast

Honey
Big bad
Summer drive
But you will have to look for the studio songs because the only videos there are are fan cams and the audio is not appreciated.
MISA the barefoot assassin
I've always liked that nickname.
Please react to Onset live it's such an awesome instrumental
the 1st time i heard of band-maid was on a random playlist of Baby metal.....since then the only group i listen is Band-maid..There're waaaaaayyyyyy to great ! they should be world-wide....why there's ppl don't know them yet!!
That's awesome! Totally agree, we gotta do our part and spread the word 🤘
@@dicodec i'm a french canadian and I'm trying to spread the word but when i ask my co-worker what kind of music the listen...they are like...AC-DC, Iron maiden, Metallica-----then i say ok...listen to this....they all say ''the beat is hot but we don't understand what they say''.....so i'm like....''OK..so you understand english ??? '' and they said not really.....(facepalm).....loll
PS: You have a beautiful purple guitars XD :P
@@labebeat3832 That is hilarious, and thank you!
yeah❗️PRS🤘

Hi from the UK something for you to check out the band is called nightwish it's a symphonic metal band from Finland with a Dutch singer floor Jansen (the valkyrie) this band has a massive following in Europe and the internet
Nightwish ghost love score wacken open air concert 2013
Nightwish romanticide wacken open air concert 2013
Nightwish song of myself wacken open air concert 2013
Nightwish story time wacken open air concert 2013
And prepare for the nightwish army to arive at the door lol
Hey there, Welcome! For sure. I'll jot down all of those suggestions. Just be patient with us. We've got a ton of request to ge through. We will get to them as soon as we can.
Misa is the name of a leading porn star in Japan. There are a million Misa in Japan. There is only one MISA. And that is the reason she stylizes her name in all caps. It is not anymore difficult to type MISA as opposed to Misa and if you didn't know now you do. Thank you. Sacramento loves Band-Maid.
Oh wow, we definitely learned something new. Thanks for that much appreciated! If you have any more cool facts let us know. 🤘
@@dicodec Thank you. Some probably consider it a petty thing but consider how you might feel if your name was in lights and it was misspelled. That is my only point. Thank you for helping to promote what many of us consider the best hard rock band working anywhere on the planet today. Maidiacs everywhere appreciate it very much.
She made her own style of her name which is really dope. These ladies really are deserving of their success. Glad y'all suggested this band to us at the beginning they have quickly become one of my favorites. Thank you sir for helping us out with all things Band-Maid 🤘
@@dicodec They took me prisoner back in January of 2017. They turned me into an unapologetic, unhinged fanboy after watching them perform in LA last September. Very best regards. Stay well. Keep those around you you care about well. And we will all get together on the other side. Very best regards. Any friend of Band-Maid is a friend of mine.
Akane!!!!
😍😍
Please do X-Japan - Rusty Nail or X , can be done also DELUHI - Frontier
Of course! We've got some X Japan coming your way🤘
You guys are the best!! Go Dicodec!
🤘😀
Next band maid - clang live zepp tokyo 🤘
Hhmmm maybe. I don't know which Band-Maid we are reacting to next. 🤔
There's another live version where Miku sings a bit more and I've seen son fan recorded videos of Miku having to step up as lead singer due to malfuctions in Saiki's microphone. So she's always ready to fill in if needed and it's a nice change of pace when you're already used to the songs sounding a certain way.
For sure! She sounded good.
In the zepp tokyo live version of freedom, saiki got lost during crowd interaction and miku had to step in to finish the song. Saiki returned shortly after but without her shoes. They were lost in the audience. 😅🤘
For anyone who is interested in Miku🤘
Here 👉 reddit[dot]com/r/BandMaid/comments/hfc9mt/why_miku_is_a_great_lyricist
🙋♂️
Miku: The one that always goof around till it gets to Saiki's nerve, who ends up restraining her most of the time.
Akane: The oldest one, keeping the girls in check, yet the fastest to join Miku's shenanigans.
Kanami: Spartan of the practice room. Alongside Akane, she's commanding the flow of the practice.
Saiki: The youngest one. It's amazing that even with her ice empress aura, Miku isn't afraid to mess with her.
Misa: The chillest one. Casually sits in the back watching all the stuff above.
Dude I love this breakdown of their character haha. They all seem like fun ladies to be around.
The reason Miku isn't afraid of Saiki is simple. Pidgeons aren't afraid to shit on every one/everything. Hahah Po!
@@yolandria now that's a good point.
David Dadoali
Miku is the oldest.
@@powbobs nah. Akane Dec 14, 1990. Miku Oct 21 1991.
Try react to SiM , its reggae metal
Wait! Nani? Reggae metal you say? I am intrigued 🤔
@@dicodec try : SiM - Killing Me
React to some stuff from SiM, coldrain or Crystal Lake 🤘
Got them all on our list. Get ready friend because it's happening.
MISA! MISA! MISA!
PRS Custom 24 new go for about $3600 to $4500 depending.
Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
#TeamBandmaid 😍😍
Yup they are some pricey guitars for sure.
🤘🦊
@@dicodec Its like anything else, though, you need the right tool for the job....although the right guitar depends on what sound you are going for. Musicians and Mechanics are a lot alike in that regard....can never have too many tools in the bag!!
Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
Couldn't agree more!
I alsn want purpre guitar(prs)✨😆😁
I'll secretly give it away to one of our viewers without him knowing. 😂
You show-off!! 😂😂
Right! He's just rubbing it in our faces.
Wow u have the same Paul reed?🥰🥰
It's similar. I think Kanami's looks cooler though haha -Eric
"Ellen"?

@@dicodec Yup. If you watch the video, it really did sound like "Ellen".
Haha 😂
It's only Rock n Roll. Eh...no...
It's fu**ing BAND-MAID!!
You said it!
Well, MISA is 5'7", but Akane is 5'6"...so. LOL
No way? She looks much taller than 5'7
@@dicodec Well, that is because Miku is 5' and Kanami is 5'1". Saiki, BTW, is 5'4". Also, 5'7" is extremely tall for a Japanese woman.

when you're done with Japan visit Philippines next
Absolutely. I've heard from another one of our viewers that the Philippines has some amazing bands as well.
I promise you won't be disappointed and your subs will grow
i down voted this because of your guitar antics
