      We do love them for sure. And are fortunate over here to still be able to communicate this love to them with both the spoken word and singing along with their songs. I think that was very important to them - Kobato said at many of the okyujis how happy it made them to hear the voices of the masters and princesses......

      Akane is the only drummer that I know that can move people to tears during a drum solo. She exudes so much joy on the official live video of freedom ( Line Cube Shibuya 2020) I have seen TH-cam reactors moved to tears ( I did the same for the first 200 times that I watched it) . This one made the fountain in me gush on a whole other level. She is a very different personality in Band Maid. She definitely is not shy. She is certainly one who is always down for a joke or some fun, but she is publicly the quietest member. But again on stage, she is the most expressive emotionally. Wow, I love this band.

So I definitely came into this one with a notion of catching her for a song or two; Endless Story was the perfect chance.

    Out of the nearly endless hours of Band-Maid I have watched, this just might be the most touching few minutes. The connection between the band and the fans is like no other band I know of. I have some thoughts on why 'Endless Story ' might have been the song that provoked Akane's intense emotions. They have said in interviews that ES was written with a arena/stadium performance in mind. The sing-a-long choruses and expansive, mid-tempo sound were designed to play well at very large concerts. While they are not there yet, successfully completing this epic US Tour while completely blowing away audiences is a great leap forward to that goal.

    We can see Akane couldn't hold back "A Multitude of Emotions..." Probably felt Deep Gratitude in many respects, like to the fans who showed up and how they developed a strong bond between us and them. Overcoming the lockdown and being able to tour. I'm sure there were some tough times & struggles during the tour as Saiki mentioned towards the end of the show (check Wave Potter Film's Video for the full show) but said it was so worth it b/c of all the fans. And perhaps she was reflecting on the days when they first released Maid in Japan, it didn't get much traction and I heard they felt some uncertainty whether they can make it in the music business or not. This song Endless Story pretty much sums up a lot about what's been happening for the past several years. Would like to know if Akane was the one who wrote the lyrics for this... 14 shows in 5 weeks. All packed houses. And this is the last show.... Look at all the American fans singing along. The Tour is about to end. To Edward Hunt, Thank you for posting this VERY SPECIAL BandMaid Video 🙏

    I really hope they were filming this tour for a documentary... I had a sense from an interview that they really didn't grasp how loved they are outside of Japan... The final show of this US tour and this says it all... If they didn't know before, this clip shows they realize it now .... Thanks for capturing that moment... Love Band Maid...greatest rock band on the planet.... \m/

      Kanami reacted that way a bit at the Dallas Show, Misa couldn't stop smiling. Even Miku got a little tear eyed In Houston. I was told Saiki reacted same way at another show. Not sure which one. They defiantly know they are loved here now. They earned it to. They played their hearts out. They are not afraid to be themselves and be a little silly during the show. It's so refreshing. I got so tired of all the same old BS talk at every show, I got so dam fed up with all the other bands from the US always fighting, arguing and calling each other names, then pretend to get along when you know they really don't. They just do it for the money. God it's so refreshing to see a band who really loves entertaining their fans the way these ladies do. And I love that they genuinely love performing and being together. Nemophilia and Lovebites is the same way. These ladies made me love music again.

      @@edhunt Aha! It was the "Day of Maid Special Talk" they did on 5-10-2022 starting about 15 minutes in, Miku-san started talking about the tour...and was suprised how many had bought tickets...and Saiki-san expressed surprise at how many shows were booked (13 at the time). I think they had to add even a few more if I recall... If they were surprised by the numbewrs, imagine what they felt from all the crowds at each venue! Funny too, Miku-san started talking about them possibly crying at the end of their Japan leg of the tour... The interaction with the audience must have really drove the love home...

    Yeh!- looks like Akane is getting real emotional during this song, bless her. Her mouth is closed and she's holding back her emotions. It's clear on a second look especially at the very end- last show of the tour? She is a born extrovert and socialite and makes the biggest show when she gets introduced on stage. She's probably a better dancer than Saiki too (see vids of her and Saiki dancing a routine together). Misa will know how she is feeling as she and Akane are great pals and they socialise a lot together.
