So good!..I have recently returned from Japan (to Scotland) where I saw them LIVE in Tokyo.!...No band in my near 55 years has made me fly to the other side of the world to see LIVE...But these amazing ladies have!....Long May They Reign!👑
Holy cow! You traveled to Tokyo for them? :o
I'd neverrrr heard of them until a few days ago when Paige recommended them :D It's been awesome discovering a lot of music! TH-cam family has come through! 55 and flew to Japan, UNREAL
You're scotish btw? AWESOMEEEEEE!
@@chlooeeeexo Shame my reply appears not look to have posted..It happens alot to me..very annoying..Anyway..I am English..but live in Scotland.
Almost like me. But it was three years ago from northern Germany to Nagoya and Kobe.
Almost a year ago, while thirsting to hear new music, to hear something original, something other than someone screaming while guitars riffed away with ego fulfilling solos, I stumbled across Band-Maid and watched a video. I can't remember what video: maybe it was "Thrill" or their "Day of the Maid" video where they play "Manners" and "Black Hole", I'm not sure. I do remember that a series of Band-Maid's 'Official Live' videos appeared next in the suggested videos, among them "Onset", "Freedom", "Domination", and "Play".
I do remember that "Manners" impressed me with it's clever, funky, jazzy musicianship backing up a duet of vocalists singing about their struggle to "Take Over the World" followed by the tempestuous, rapid-fire whirlwind of "Black Hole". I remember hoping that not all of their songs were like "Black Hole" because a steady diet of 220 BPM double bass drums might get tedious.
Then I watched "Onset".
OM F'ing G! That was amazing and I rewatched it several times. "Onset" started with drums, followed by an onslaught of guitar virtuosity. Holy Cow! Taps, pull offs, and every guitar trick in the book perfectly tailored to support the song, and then a beautiful bass solo that alternated between, slapping, strumming and picking. Where was the bass player hiding her pick? Meanwhile the drummer was pounding away like Jon Bonham, varying her fills like Neal Peart, while keeping metronomic time like Ginger Baker! And the rhythm guitar wasn't bad either! I thought I had just listened to the ultimate hard rock instrumental: a tour de force of musicianship, a masterclass in compositional structure, and yet breathtakingly beautiful. I could not imagine a more perfect piece of music.
Then I listened to Band-Maid's "From Now On". When I hear this song, I have to remind myself to breathe.
Band-Maid is the most astounding band you will ever hear. Most of their songs are good and the rest are great. I invite everyone to explore their ten year long catalog of music. You won't get bored: every song is fresh and innovative.
Welcome to the wonderful world of BAND-MAID. The more you see you'll know that they are not at all like baby metal.

Best rock band on the planet.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Boy if that was your first song by them then you are in for a treat. They have a huge catalogue of songs from their 10 year history and I would say not a bad one among them. All different styles. All the members are superb artists and they are so good live. What also sets them apart is there empathy with their fans and their obvious affection and love for one another
Yes! Their love for their fans is quite evident. See the videos "About Us" and "Memorable". Both are love letters to their fans. And when I saw them last October, the whole sell-out crowd sang Happy Birthday to Miku, the rhythm guitarist and co-singer. These ladies are exquisite humans. Such wonderful musicians, but even more, they are wonderful souls.
**REACTING TO CHOOSE ME** I am so excited omg

Welcome aboard. This is no mere 'studio polished...or idol' band, just severely competent classic rockers (dipping toe to into molten metal). Check their moment of being discovered outside Japan in their 'Thrill' MV...the solid rocking tune that went viral and assured their continued record label support. As others say...the 'Domination' Official Live video is one of a number of examples of what a superb gigging band they truly are. Every song brings something different...in the genre of 'maid Rock' :-)
Welcome aboard, Chlooeeexo. You are embarking on (along with many others - 165 million YT views plus over 40 million reactor plays!) an awesome, progressive, hard-rock journey with 5 incredible women. Here's my intro blurb for those who may be new to Band-Maid:
BAND-MAID’s songs and sound beat with the heart and soul of all rockers. But you’ll also hear heavy influences of Prog, Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Jazz, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Joy of Playing, Consistency (124 songs), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destined for mega-stardom.
Each member's personalities are super interesting and their musicianship among the best. Their writing, arrangements and overall sound, especially guitar tones and drums, are kick-ass! Having seen them LIVE, I can honestly say their performance, sound, stage appearance, and band synergy is off-the-rails spectacular!
Band-Maid is the only band in decades where I love nearly EVERY song they’ve done. I have over 70 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: th-cam.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/w-d-xo.html Their songs from albums Unleash, Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Warning, No God, Different, Black Hole, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Don’t You Tell Me, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Choose Me, I Can’t Live Without You, and on and on.
But don’t miss out on their powerful, beautifully written, mid-tempo songs like Daydreaming, About Us, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, At The Drop Of A Hat, Mirage and Smile... or more punky like After Life, Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like Manners and The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or a bit jazzy like Wonderland… or progressive like No God, Giovanni, and Black Hole… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like From Now On, Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts… or their many acoustic versions like Catharsis and Sayonakidori... and last but not least, their Anime hits like Sense, Glory and Unleash (from their own Anime MV (series?)): th-cam.com/video/7LB_EPS48HE/w-d-xo.html)
And many songs are represented with over 45 well produced music videos. th-cam.com/users/BANDMAID
Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYU-JI concerts:
ONLINE OKYU-JI (Feb. 11, 2021) “No God” th-cam.com/video/nAdWnIRjGak/w-d-xo.html

If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, CD, DVD/BD & Merch, etc. bandmaid.tokyo
Like most Band-Maid songs, I like them from the get-go but really start to appreciate them after more hearings and seeing their LIVE videos. I'll go back and see an older song like YOLO, Order, Shake That, Freezer, Before Yesterday, Real Existence, Non Fiction Days and Alone, etc. and realize there's no band that can consistently construct and play like Band-Maid.
For fun, check out an awesome, little known "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009
Band-Maid Members:
Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 29 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away her sometimes perceived, coldish persona. Saiki’s powerhouse performances, charisma, and voice focus the experience that’s driven her to the top echelon of hard rock frontwomen... or frontmen!
Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 31 years old. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR SpokesPigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. Kuruppo! No, no, no… KURUPPO!!
Kanami Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 31 years old, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want from Mincho is more!
Akane Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, 32 years old, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) while revolutionizing rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumZilla” is the Party!
MISA (Me-Sa) "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass, 30 years old. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin literally kills it… every note... uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA! MISA!
Maidiacs (Maid-e-acts) - Band-Maid’s crazed yet supportive, knowledgeable and loyal Super Fans.
[BAND-MAID NEWS]
BAND-MAID PRIME - Special Video Distribution Website. Along with nearly 50 great play-through’s by each member, concerts and skits, Band-Maid management / label(s) have included the Acoustic Christmas 2021, ZEPP 2018 and Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 concerts! Fans can now see more than 50 great live performances with awesome audio, etc. like Fate, I Can't Live Without You and the great MISA / Kanami exchange in Don't You Tell Me. Those concerts are two of the best produced & performed concerts ever recorded, IMO. bandmaidprime.tokyo

Greetings from Germany and welcome to the pigeon-hole of Band-Maid. 🙋🏻♂

Well, better late than never as they say. Got a lot of catching up to do with their Awesome 120+ song catalog. A Hard Rock band with no comparison. Just great melodic Rock music. Check out their latest MV's INFLUENCER and FROM NOW ON. Peace. 3.8
120 SONGS!!! Ahhh I can’t wait to dissect a song properly omg!!
Thank you!! I love melodic music in general so thank you :)
@@chlooeeeexo And huge variety too, from ballads right through to near metal. Can be jazzy, bluesy, punky, funky, a bit of ska or just plain crazy, you name it then it's in a song somewhere. Oh and nothing like Baby Metal lol
@@chlooeeeexo Once you start getting into the alternate live versions, plus alternate acoustic versions, your mind will be blown away. These Ladies will put out a hard rocking song like this, or even HARDER and rework it into an acoustic masterpiece, that while being completely rearranged, not just unplugging and picking up an acoustic guitar, but almost rewriting the songs in their entirety. Yet they are still recognizably those songs. Then when you get into the alternate LIVE versions. Where special intros, bridges, and breakdowns are added, modified, and it just makes already excellent songs that much better.
Going through my music catalog, with all the various alternate versions, I have almost 150 songs by these young Ladies. Each and every one of those songs is unique.
@@greylocke100 Yes
@@edwardallen4051 AHHHH we love the mixed genres!!! I am excited - any songs you’d recommend? Their energy is next to none I bet they’d be wicked to see live
Welcome to the fandom. Would not have suggested starting with this song, tho.
I suggest these Band Maid songs: Thrill, Dice, Manners, Bubble, Blooming & No God
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single BAND-MAID song. Bon voyage
xD Literally long journey ahead!!
Domination live shows how they can revv up a crowd to crazy level, and jam extra solos in the middle of a song. Best hard Rock band on the planet especially live.
You're not the first to say this :o
Welcome and thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 Band-Maid is one of the best bands in our country, especially in live performance. We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". The history is very long and the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Speaking of hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since as early as 1970s : Led Zeppelin / Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Deep Purple (1972), Queen (1975), Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick / Van Halen / Scorpions (1978), Judas Priest (1978/79) and so on. Now, any type of rock can be enjoyed here, especially by many all-female or women-fronted bands. They are daughters of American / European rock, for sure. (Many are grand-daughters in terms of age.)
Uh-oh, we also say "Japan is the country obsessed by Jazz". It had started earlier than rock 😄
You have great jazz and jazz / rock fusion bands and artists in Japan. And an awesome plethora of such talented artist on all sorts of instruments
@@michaelthain4488 Thank you !
@@michaelthain4488 I'm obsessed with these maids but other stuff I've briefly looked at, like Polkadot Stingray, are very entertaining.
I'm very happy that Japan produced the likes of Band-Maid...following on with the spirit of bands that started my interest in music in the mid to late 70s. I never expected to ever find a band that I would be even more fond of than the likes of Queen, Deep Purple, Rush, Van Halen, Motorhead etc...and be ballsy and original. Well done Japan from me, here...20 miles north of Liverpool, UK.
@@philproffitt8363 Thank you. I was and still am a big fan of old jazz and funk. I never imagined that I would love music performed by Japanese girls. In the last 6 months I went to see two concerts by Band-Maid and two-day concerts by BABYMETAL. 😍
I’m going to see them in May!!! I’m so excited I love band-maid best band in the world 🌎 going to Detroit show and I’m Canadian they been around for ten years now it’s their ten year anniversary show to can’t wait to see them 😊👍😎👏 check out Freedom by BAND-MAID it’s awesome song 🎵 nice reaction
Welcome Chloe. By listening to the many songs of Band Maid and watching their live, you will be sure that this female rock band is on the level of even the most famous male bands. They tick all the boxes. And they want world domination.
gotta check out the all female japanese Metal band called Nemophila too and their song Adabana!
Caught them in Dallas, TX back in October. I waited three long years for that show.
Bann Maid is a fantastic band. They write all their music and are great musicians. So many great songs. And you should absolutely check out their official live performances😁👍

Okay, names, pronunciation, nicknames, and roles, in order that they joined the band.
Miku Kobato - mee-koo - Kuruppo, the Little Pigeon, the Little Engine Who Will - band founder, backing (and occasionally lead) vocals, rhythm guitar, principal lyricist, tireless Spokespigeon and PR machine. Wielder of weapons grade cuteness. So determined to see her band succeed that she fired herself as lead singer (she decided her voice wasn't strong enough for hard rock), then went looking for a replacement. Learned to play guitar after the band was formed.
Kanami Tono - kah-nah-mee - Kanamincho or just Mincho - lead guitar, keyboards, principal composer and arranger. On stage, she's a savant mad riffer with a room temperature IQ and a huge crush on Saiki. In reality, she's a genius, and not just musically- she has a degree in economics with honors from Tokyo University.
Akane Hirose - ah-kah-neh - A-chan, the Gorilla - drums, sequencing, snacks, the leader the band doesn't have. What you see is what you get- a cheerful jock with a huge appetite who burns off the calories murdering her drums. Frequently snacks between songs.
MISA - mee-sah - the Barefoot Assassin, MISA MISA MISA! - bass, booze, occasional wet work. Usually stone faced. Barely acknowledges the audience's existence. Always has a beer or a bottle of Jim Beam on her Orange amp. Originally, these were ways of coping with stage fright. These days, that's just how the assassin rolls.
Saiki Atsumi - sah-ee-kee (but Psyche is close enough) - the Ice Queen, Sensei, Sai-chan - lead vocals, some lyrics, the "We're done" girl. Fashionista and train nerd. In total command on stage; hides behind Miku off stage (she's actually kind of shy).
Thank you!!!!! eeeeeeeee

I am posting the first part of an information file I post for any new reactors to Band-Maid. I have to split it up to bypass the filters and algorithms here.
To get the rest of the file someone would need to post a reply to this comment so I can posta reply to their reply.
Welcome to the BEST LIVE HARD ROCK BAND IN THE WORLD!!!! 98% of their songs are best viewed LIVE. There are a few where the MV is better until the Ladies release a new LIVE version of those songs. Of which "Warning" is one. Car chases, explosions, beautiful women and Hard Rock, it is all in there. There are one or two others, but those are debated heavily between us Maidiacs.
You will find that Band Maid has an EXTREMELY Loyal and Protective as well as Supportive Fan Base. We call ourselves Maidiacs (Maid EE Acts). Many of us are on the Band Maid Fans Discord, and we will search out new reactions to Our Ladies music, daily, sometimes hourly. 😁

@@jkkansasband7056 Thankee Sir.
Band Maid was started in 2013 by Miku Kobato. At the time she had just left the Idol Group, Lil Cumin and she didn't like the type of music she had been performing. She approached her management agency with the idea of making an actual band playing rock music but dressed as maids. She had worked in a Maid Cafe and thought the image of maids playing rockin music would create what she called "The Gap" between what you see and what you hear. The Management company was like Ok, go ahead.
Miku then looked around and found Kanami a singer/songwriter who was posting her own videos on the internet. Miku had her agency contact her and Kanami thought the idea was cool and agreed to join. Miku then asked if Kanami knew a drummer who might be interested. Kanami had worked with Akane in the past and there is 2 versions of this, the first is, Kanami literally walked over to Akane's apartment and asked her, the second is Kanami called Akane and asked her. (Akane has said in 2 different interviews that 1: Kanami called her and asked if she could come over and 2: in a second interview Kanami just came over) Akane was actually hesitant as she had worked in an "All Girl Group" before and didn't enjoy it as it wasn't the type of music she wanted to play. After hearing a Demo, Akane was like ok, but was still slightly hesitant because of the "Maid Outfits", but she agreed to give it a try. Akane was asked if she knew a bass player and she had gone to Tokyo School of Music with MISA and had worked a couple of jobs with her. So Misa was contacted and after she heard a demo she was like I like the music, but she also was hesitant about the "Maid Outfits", but she relented and joined in as she really wanted to play the kind of music she heard in the demo. The 3 of them then "Auditioned" for the record company and passed the audition.
Now we have the "Core" members. The 4 members worked out some songs provided for them by the record company, and a setlist and they had performed 3 times with just Miku on main vocals. Miku after those performances felt that her voice wasn't powerful enough to really perform the songs she wanted. So she approached her management company again and asked if they had any singers who weren't in other projects. They then auditioned several singers. Miku heard Saiki rehearsing in a room across the hall and asked if she could be auditioned, the record company then had Saiki audition.
Saiki was signed to the same management company and had done some work as a backup singer and dancer and was asked if she would be interested in auditioning for this new group which currently had 4 members and she would be the fifth. She had been a member of a group with 8 other people as a backup singer and dancer, and HATED it. So she listened to the demo and thought "Cool" because she liked the music.
Now we come to the tricky part. Miku KNEW that if Saiki was told about the "Maid Outfits" she would say NO WAY!, so they didn't tell her. They told her they would have "Cool/cute Clothes"(I've read it translated either way), and she never met Miku until a few days before they had a contracted performance. She wasn't told about the "Maid Outfits" until the day before the performance, and she had considered backing out, but she had signed the contract. (Saiki also had NEVER met Miku until then as well)
So the Ladies, went and did the performance and Saiki really, REALLY liked the crowds reaction and the music they were performing. She DIDN'T like the apron she wore so it got ditched after the first performance.
And you now have the beginnings of the BEST LIVE HARD ROCK BAND in the WORLD!
ALL HAIL BAND MAID!!!!!
Now that we have the Full band, it was felt that there needed to be a second guitar. Saiki was like, "Not Me, No Way." So Miku said, "I'll do it.", at first that was literally all she did, was hold the guitar and mime playing it, until Akane said, if you are going to hold it, you NEED to learn to play it. And Miku said, "Ok.", and Kanami started to teach Miku how to play. The Ladies released their first album in 2014 "Maid in Japan" which failed to chart, but later after "Thrill" it was reissued and charted to #26 in Japan.
Then in 2015 they released "New Beginning"
On New Beginning was the song that changed Band Maid's entire existence. "Thrill"...
The band was getting ready to release their first music video and the choice was between "Love, Passion, Matador" and "Thrill" and the ladies chose Thrill. (Little known fact, Miku helped with the lyrics on Thrill but did not get credited)
This became the seminal moment of Band Maid. Because their second album charted at #64, the record company was seriously considering disbanding the Ladies and switching them to other projects. (In fact they had Kanami and Akane work with Mochi to Cheese thinking that when Band Maid cratered they could use them in another band. MISA had also just started working with Mochi to Cheese as well). However about 6 months after the video's release, a Facebook page "JRock Radio" posted the video to their timeline. And the video went viral. Having over a million views in just a few short weeks. The Ladies Twitter page got so many hits they thought their page had been hacked. Their TH-cam channel also started getting more and more subscribers and views to Thrill.
Now the ladies knew where their fans wanted them to go. Harder Rock, less pop. And history was Maid.
That is just one of the info files, that I and many other Band-Maid fans/Maidiacs, have. If you have any questions about the Ladies, ask, we will do our best to answer you as best we can as quickly as we can.
Beware of their Charm....or you'll soon be a Maidiac ❤️🎙🎸🥁😎🤘

bABY-METAL es un gran grupo , con muy buena música , además de ser el grupo q abrio la puerta al mundo occidental del Rock asiáticos ,japones en este caso .
BAND-MAID es un grupo de hard-Rock ,q a diferencia de baby metal componen e tocan ellas mismas todas sus canciones (salvo cuando empezaron ,1º disco si no me equivoco ) .
Son dos formas distintas de hacer música o conformar un grupo , pero ambas son de lo mejor q hay (mi preferencia es Band-Maid )
GRUPOS FEMENINOS : BAND-MAID , NEMOPHILA, LOVEBITE , HANABIE, HAGANE , lonesome blue , Scandal, bridear , todas japonesas .
The warnig , Mexinacas , VoB (indonesia)
Royal ark , Coreanas.
Y muchas mas q no conozco .
TODAS y cada uno de estos grupos están trayendo de nuevo el interés por el Rock and Roll y además lo hacen muy bien .
Buena reacción , Salud y Rock and Roll. 🤘🤘😊😊
I listen to alit of genres but i'm a rocker first and band-maid is the best rock band today, male or female. But, as to females, simeone listed a bunch of just female japanese bands. Women rockers everywhere. Voice of boceprot (indonesia), rolling quartz, DIH, the fix, & walking after u (s. Korea), plush (USA), cobra spell, etc. Here is something from my other favorite along with band-maid, The Warning.

Thank you for reacting to the BAND-MAID song.
This song "SENSE" was written and composed by BAND-MAID as the theme song of the anime "Platinum End".
"Platinum End" is a story that when a god changes,
13 god candidates are selected as angels and fight,
and the last one left is the god.
The 13 god candidates fight with wings that can fly faster than light,
a red arrow that grabs the heart,
and a white arrow that destroys everything.
The wings that appear in the "SENSE" Music Video are conscious of the wings of the god candidate,
and the spotlight represents the arrow of the god candidate.
If you listen again with such background knowledge,
you can understand the goodness of this song further with the playing technique of BAND-MAID.
Thanks for the Band Maid reaction! I found them in 2020 and they helped me through the worst of the pandemic. I flew to see them play in San Diego, CA and loved every second of it! I wish I could see them in Japan. I think you will find songs from throughout their catalog that you will enjoy. They haven't been satisfied with simply doing more of the same so try a bunch of different songs, you won't be disappointed!
"Why have I never listened to them before?" is a main question in the maidiac community that nobody has the answer for, however it seems to suddenly cause kind of a regret in to the person wondering that, even though you had no way of knowing them before knowing them.
It's pigeons' magic, you'll understand sooner or later if you keep on hearing their extense catalogue 🤘🕊️
The lady in black is actually a bassist so there should be 2 guitarists and 1 bassist, but I understand that you considered the bass player as a guitarist...she's a lead bassist🎸🔥😉
Found them in 2017, thanks to Blackpink.
They have complete control of their music. From creation to the order of the songs on the albums. Founded in 2013, international breakout in 2015 with the MV "Thrill". They have been touring the US, and Europe since 2017 and that includes Great Britain!!!
There are 200+Rock/Metal bands in Japan with about half all female. Soooo, here's some;
Lovebites - "Set the World on Fire"
Nemophlia - "Seize the Fate"
Aldious - "We Are"
Hanabie - "We Love Sweets"
If You want more all female bands You hit the right spot. Japan has tons of extremely good all female bands.
nice reaction!
The next songs to listen to are the recent 'From Now On' and 'Influencer'. I think that these two songs are the latest and represent the character of the band.
And the other is the splendor of the live performance. Domination Live, Freedom Live, Play Live and Onset Live etc.
MVs such as DICE, RINNE, Choose Me, Alone,,, are also impressive.
Ballads and acoustic versions are also good.
They are a very special band.
I am on it, if you feel these rep the best then I am so ON it. This week!!!!
Don't ignore the old stuff it's all good and popular with the fans. PinD has made collages for the old songs that don't have film clips. Some of the new songs Don have clips either but Hibana (spark) and Flying High are great songs. Favourite old songs are FREEZER and SHAKE THAT. Have you ever heard of NEMOPHILA they are heavier but just as good I'd describe them as punk metal. They've only been together for a few years but that hasn't stopped them from having 3 babies so far. Australia is watching 👀
Freezer is in the top 5 of 3 of my mood playlists. For my get the blood pumping playlist it goes Freezer, Why why why, Unfair Game, Moratorium, Flying High, before it spins out to another artist. (Boston Foreplay - Longtime)
@@greylocke100 yes it's always on mine and quite often Shake That, Influencer,Blooming, Hibana,flying high, then usually Monochrome from BABYMETAL, several NEMOPHILA songs a couple of songs from the old days The real thing by Russell Morris as well as some K Pop Kara has a new song When I move there's always a few curve balls I don't know where they come from.
You should check out Play, Different, Morratorium, Freedom, Dice, Rinne, Secret My Lips, Manners, Blackhole... yeah there are some excellent songs to begin with👍 and always look for their official live videos. They are amazing😍
I started with chose me :D Which is live soon eeeeeeeeee
Thank you for reacting to Band-Maid.
EXPECT so much more this week
Baby Metal is a show. Band Maid is a great rock band.
OMG Chloe Band-Maid is amazing! I have a whole spotify list of Japanese Rock like this for work or when I'm feeling down. Love that you're checking them out =)
@@chlooeeeexo Chlooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! =)

BAND-MAID are nothing like Baby Metal. They are Maestro Musicians in their own right and were not put together as a circus group. Best Progressive Hard Rock Band on the Planet - Bar None 😁 Respect Kami Band 👍🙏
Baby metal were put together as a circus group? I can see similarities based on their energies more so!
Baby metal was put together in a entertainment “school” Band Maid was put together organically by the small pigeon aka miku kobato
@@chlooeeeexo Please ignore his circus group comment.
Welcome to BAND MAID!
This is from an interview back in 2016.
Interviewer: Where did you get the idea to use maid outfits?
MIKU “I used to work in a maid café! I would wear cute uniforms every day and entertain our customers, who we call masters and princesses. At the same time I was really into metal and rock music, and I thought how different the two worlds were. Here I am at work, singing super cute songs to a milkshake - it’s how we make them extra tasty - but on the way home I have my headphones in, blasting Maximum The Hormone. I thought that it would be cool to combine cute uniforms with cool music, so I set about recruiting the members of Band-Maid.”
Interviewer: Maid outfits aren’t exactly rock ‘n’ roll. What is your ultimate heavy metal costume?
MIKU “Now Band-Maid’s outfits are part of rock n roll, so we pick these!”
Interviewer: Why should people listen to Band-Maid?
MIKU “We’re not a pop idol group! Don’t judge us on how we look. We want to blow you away with our heavy rock sound.”
Interviewer: For those who don’t know about Band-Maid, what are you about?
MIKU: “Band-Maid’s concept is about creating contrast - how we look and how we sound are worlds apart. One is cute and submissive in nature, the other is wild, powerful and dominant. I thought that idea was interesting. Basically, we want to defy expectations.”
I love this band! I will say, they are nothing like Baby Metal though. I never understood why people compare the two bands. But if you continue to follow them, you will realize, they are their own Genre.
I was so new to them... I cant wait for more. This week...
@@chlooeeeexo well you are going to be on a real journey. In my opinion, they put out some of the best rock music I have heard in a long time. I hope you grow to love them as much as I have over the last couple years. Their music only gets better with every album. Can’t wait to see your next reaction
His sacred holiness, TinyHat-san welcomes you to the Unseen World that is the International Fellowship of Maidiacs. Continue to "break new gate."
Now celebrating their 10th anniversary. Nothing like BABYMETAL.
10th?!?!?
Nice reaction Chlooeeeexo To answer your demand "More bands that are all women"... Lol.. Here's a few for you.. Band maid, Lovebites, Hagane, Aldious, Nemophila, Gacharic spin, Trident... If you do one song a week it will take you about a year and a half to get through what they have out now.. So much great music, hope you will do some.. Best wishes from across the channel..
A song a week, more like a song a day ! 😁😎🤘
huge list, omg!!!!!!
@@chlooeeeexo You must do some, they are all very tallented and it's great music.. Prepare for your channel to be bombarded though.. They all have huge, passioate fan base's.. Go on I dare you 🙂
That's what everyone says, why have I not heard of them before.
There's a great scene of all-female bands in Japan. I'm sure you will be flooded with band names in the comments.
Japanese GIRLS BAND is
30 years ago
HARD Rock, SHOW-YA,
POP Rock, princess princess.
It started with
Japan is,
The best in the world
It has become a country with many GIRLS BANDs.
Now, HARD Metal GIRLS BAND 10 groups are famous、
Oh you're in for a treat.
Band-Maid 💪🔥
Great. Nothing yet. Inmense band and they are better, much better live. Pick any song...yes, any song and be ready for the impact. Again, any song Official live or fan cam. We say fan cam because is so difficult to understand how they are so spectacular... and 'lose your mind'
I love their energy! I was just explaining up there ^^ Oh my gooooood. I love finding new music
You're going to need their YT channel - www.youtube.com/@BANDMAID/featured
If you haven't done so, I think you'll find some of the other Japanese bands to be also worth your while, and they're entirely, or largely female, too 👍😎 Nemophila, Lovebites, Unlucky Morpheus, etc
Definitely the "hardest rocking Maid Band"! :) Love them! Also check out The Jazz Avengers all female band: th-cam.com/video/JKQRJ__Lerc/w-d-xo.html
Ahem......
"How DARE you compare Band-Maid to Baby Metal? You think these instruments were played by some backing band??" You think these ladies can only dance? Baby Metal has *nothing* on Band-Maid!!"
Now, seriously, go check Band-Maid out on a live song. It might give you a better idea on what these ladies really are all about. A good place to start would be the Official Live video of "Domination". The real reason why you have not heard of them is because the Western world cornered the music scene long ago, and much of the world has not caught onto the fact that there are other countries doing great music too. Glad you found this band really.
Please check out their live music videos. Suggest the following :
Freedom, Day Dreaming, Domination, Play, Take Me Higher, About Us, Puzzle, etc....
If this band is good,
LOVEBITES / Holy War [Live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020]
[MV] NEMOPHILA / DISSENSION,
Gacharic Spin｢MindSet｣
Li-sa-X BAND - "Looking Up To You" (Official Music Video)
Show-Ya - Watashi Wa Arashi (Music Video),
Princess Princess "19 GROWING UP -ode to my buddy-",
4 recent bands and 2 bands from 30 years ago,
Copy the song name group name as it is,
watch it on youtube.
If you look at the level at that time 30 years ago, you can see why there are so many bands like this.
Try Nemophila - another female Japanese metal/rock band. A good start would be “Dissension”
on it this week OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Next... Nemophila, lovebites, trident, hanabie just to name a few
On it!!
I REACTED TO NEMOPHILA!! Soon soon
They are very different from Babymetal in that they're a real band, not a novelty act.
Baby Metal is grown men playing for little girls. Band-Maid is the truth!
Facts
Typical fanboi bullshit, I am a huge Band Maid fan and this drivel is so tired and lame. Like Babymetal or not they are a force. Plus Su and Moa are hardly “little girls”.
@@kyles5513 I’ve not listened to a lot of Japanese metal / rock so it’s lovely to interact with many who have seen them live / love them and can offer suggestions 😊
@@tackle47 I tried to get into babymetal and their music is just too annoying to me I find. Actually band-maid and lovebites are the only bands from Japan I actually like.
@@kyles5513 The little
ones try to have a voice on the net
You ain't see nothing yet they got over hundred of great songs
Please react to more Band-Maid please, others have made recommendations already so no need for me to. Enjoy the journey
they ain't babymetal similar and i use the term similar in a lose term in regards to their visuals with babymetal but that is where it ends. Band maid just gets down and rocks like there is no tomorrow and has a very unique song that is their own.
Watch live stuff take Yr pick plenty of stuff out there its a ride
Interesting🤔
Anything you want me to check out? :D
@@chlooeeeexo No. Pick any song. Easy. Hahahaha...crazy ! ( and they do, the girls, everything: writting, arragments, performs, layers, lyrics, back tracks,...)
Best hard rock band in the world! My vote for the LIVE stream is LOVEBITES Judgement Day MV th-cam.com/video/m3uGjp-P7DI/w-d-xo.html. Best HEAVY METAL band in the galaxy, and of course they're an all female J-metal band (sing in English). You add Nemophila - Dissension MV and you have the Holy Trinity of Japan! 🤘
🤘🇹🇭👍
Anime
Japan
Metal
All female.
Mmm:
Yes.
Band: LOVEBITES.
Song: WINDS OF TRANSILVANIA.
Live or Music video?
You choose (i'd do both)
Music VIDEO: th-cam.com/video/HsE4Ub_Pjh8/w-d-xo.html
LIVE: th-cam.com/video/qd_qop5j1bs/w-d-xo.html
Hope you enjoy as much as i like them.
Nice first reaction, except for the "Babymetaly" part. You're new to them so we'll let that slide 🤣
xD I didnt mention that at all in my next one dw omg
*_BabyMetal_* sing and dance with a band, *_Band Maid_* IS the band!...Just sayin'.🤘
🤘Ӝ⚢Ӝ🏳🌈🦘
They are my fave band of about 6 yrs now. Not BABYMETAL as Band Maid plays their instrsments. No hate on BABYMETAL, just like Maid best. This is only the start. No bad songs.
Fortunately Band Maid are NOT like BabyMetal. They play their instruments and write their own songs and are grownups. This is but the tip of so many excellent all female bands. Now try Lovebites, Gacharic Spin, Nemophila, Hagane, Hanabie, Mary's Blood, Doll$Boxx, for a start. All of them are all female bands.
What? Babymetally? 😅 Serious? Let's see ... Yes, you are right. They are Japanese, too. That must be your criteria 😂
Need more all female bands? There are loads in Japan. There doesn't seem to be the idea that instruments/bands are really a "guy thing" like there is in the west. Rolling a dice for potential all-female suggestions from some of my favourites, has this song "Abnormal" by Mutant Monster. A great smaller band, with great vocals and a great sound overall th-cam.com/video/Fd6ymMR40NU/w-d-xo.html
I hate that she compared them to baby metal only cause I heard baby metal doesn't write their own music and I know band maid does
there is a LOT of bands that is all woman's. you just need to start listening to Japanese music ;)
xD I agree
😞 Just because they're a group of Asian women, doesn't make them Babymetal-like. Comparing these amazing band to some factory produced pop metal isn't something that should happen 😞
BTW, comparing Band-Maid to Babymetal is a non-sequitor. Nothing alike.
No they are NOT very Babymetally, not at all. What they are is the best band on the world. Period
Do you think? I need to listen more omg
OK here ya go MUST SEE: MV: Bloomin; From Now On; Warning Live: Onset; Domination; Play; Freedom; Without Holding Back
