I've never felt this way about a band before. Is it weird that I'm so incredibly proud of them all?
Nope, I'm 64 today , I'm drinking cold beer and playing the Maids and somehow I feel like I'm their "Uncle" 😄 Really proud of these incredible Ladies Po 👍🎼🍻
Good man. No it's not, It would be waaay weirder if you wasn't.🙂👌
@@brunobryant4846 Happy birthday, Bruno! I was 62 a couple weeks ago. Been waiting for this band my whole life apparently..
@@80mtn Happy Birthday 🎉 back to you and yes I know that feeling 😄👍🍻
@@GaryHolloway-810 Remember last Halloween when I said the bus would get lost and Miku would come to my door in southwest New Mexico to ask directions to Chicago? The road she's standing on looks like my driveway! *Shakes fist at sky!* SHE WAS HERE!!! 🙂 Hahahaha
I love the way you highlighted those chorus lyrics. That Saiki appreciates the community so much she dreams about making us smile with their music. Great Reaction man.
The more you're invested in this band... the more meaning in the song ❤️❤️🦧🍌🙏
Exactly! Very well said!
Miku said as much in an Instagram post last night. The warm support, positive energy, and love they felt all through the tour. Miku's last words in Chicago " we will be back, Po ! " ❤️🎙🎸🥁😎🤘 Was heart felt ! Personally, I wasn't going to let the Maids leave Seattle without feeling the love !!!!!
Yeah but you didn't mind leaving me all the way back in England to feel the love from afar.😔
@GaryHolloway-810 Sorry, Gary, next time I'll send my Lear Jet for you !😁😉
I was at the Chicago show and you could tell the emotions were high for them and the fans. I also saw them in Washington DC, but the Chicago show was special.
@geographRick yeah, the videos of Akane tearing up, gets me every time !!
@@lonniekramlich6241 Thx Lonnie that's great. Can you get your pilot to write "Gary ❤ BAND-MAID" in the sky with coloured smoke please. Get him to do it over France, that'll make 'em jealous.🤣
The measure of a great song is how long it lives in the memory & "Memorable" has already set up permanent residence in mine :)
Memory?!....damn....i'm damn sure i've heard that word in the past.
Taking out a few brain cells today for my 64th, cold beer and hot Band Maid, the perfect combo, here's to the BM memories yet to come 🤗🥳🍻
@rogerchance9074I know what you were gonna say Roger but it was something so awesome that i can't tell you in case it blows what's left of your mind.😏
@@kent-oveprestberg3578 i can tell you that i remember even after all this time that i can't even leave a serious comment without someone replying with a joke.😆
@@brunobryant4846Happy birthday my Maidiac friend, you go for it Bruno. It's 11pm here, all the shops are shut but i do have some raspberry liqueur in the fridge. I haven't a clue where i got it (no joke i honestly don't) but it's a shame to leave it there looking all lonely.😁🍻🍹
For those who saw Band-Maid on their US tour, we can feel the love that went back and forth between the band and the audience. Previously I said the Dallas HoB show was the best and most fun show I have ever seen. Miku's reaction to the Say towels was priceless and I know she and the rest of the band were so touched. From what I understand the entire tour was filled with such moments.
It is amazing they wrote this song during the tour at some point as a love letter to the fans. Band-Maid stand alone as the Beatles of Japan. They are phenomenal. No band I have ever seen is like them.
Thank you to Miku, Mincho, Saiki, Akane and Misa Misa Misa for being such talented and wonderful people.
Hear hear!
MISA plays bass without her pick and Miku plays her acoustic with the heart sound hole. I have never felt this way about a band where I notice minute details. I have become such a fanboy.
"Memorable digital release!
Please watch a lot of MVs 💓
I wanted to make a song that would warm everyone's hearts... 💕 I'd be happy if it arrived." Kanami tweeted feb 21st
I've never felt this way about a band. I'm not even sure how to begin to explain it. It's nice to know they feel the same way about us. 😍
They really, really love their fans. Especially the people who came to see them at the live venue. They know very well that the Americas are many times larger than Japan. Japanese people can't help but respect those who make an effort.
61 years now and never had a band who surprises me on and on and on..... thank you Ladies
Can't get this outta my head, man! Mincho magic.
It is for the fans, the love they felt last October. I feel like I'm seeing my kids first step, it's that kind of proud, these Ladies have more class than any band I've ever known.
Based on their comments your analysis of the lyrics is spot on
Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。 This was filmed in USA without doubt. I can't figure out how they found the time-frame to film this in the dreary desert during their busy US-tour. Miku, that cute strategist, must have hidden a drone in one of her guitar cases 😄. And camera crew, too 🤣 (Probably it was filmed in between TLRS shows in NY and LA).
According to Uta-Net info, the lyrics by "Miku Kobato - Saiki". You know there is a flow in an actual concert : high and low, hot and cool, excitement and calmness. At Tokyo Garden Theater on Jan.9, "Memorable" was premiered after "About Us" . These two songs soothed the audience emotion (I was there 😍) ... and then boom!! "Manners" 😲.
The cut scenes were filmed about 90 minutes outside LA near Lancaster. It would have been during the days before the Palladium show. The weather matches up perfectly.
Very much a companion to About Us. This is a relief to be playing in front of live audiences in the US. I did mention somewhere else that I can't remember a relationship between a band and fans quite like Band Maid. They are very appreciative of the support and the fans are very protective of the Band. This doesn't mean slagging off other bands. But young and old seem to 'get it'. The music becomes an experience as much as just listening to a song. Rock or ballad, slow or fast. They don't over do the instrumentation but the more you listen there more layers you can uncover. A great musical work. Although having poor old Miku living in an old piano and busking her way across the desert seemed harsh.
Blame the Clam Chowder. It's not good for a little pigeon. After she broke wind for the 810th time they threw her off the tour bus. They gave her Kanami's piano to hitch with to slow her down. She still beat them to New York, she is after all an 'expert tourist'!
言葉の選択、印象としては非常に良くないのだが幻覚剤を打って非日常的な光景や感情に晒されているような気持ちと日常的な微笑ましい光景が無秩序に折り重なった世界､､の様な感覚にさせられる､､band maidにはそういうところがある。ただどこのどんな感覚であろうがband maidの世界の中にいるという事実がある。
This song make you feel glad that you are a fan of Band-Maid. Can anyone tell me a band that writes to their fans like this? Maybe there is another, but I don't think so. I'm so glad that you like this, Champ. I need your positivity. You did not let me down. The lyrics and the melody are beautiful. Misa, oh Misa! Really love the rich bass line. It's my favorite ballad of all.
Without music I would die. Pretty sure this is what "art saves lives" means.
Right?
such a beautiful ballad! Hope they play this when I see them in May! ♥
And I hope everyone takes out their phones and turn on the flashlight! I will be doing that for sure. :)
And can we talk about MISAs bass in verse 2....again!
The Way Saiki has come as a Vocalist from Thrill to Gion Cho to the Puzzle the accoustic Version to Wonderland to this just blows me away
What will be probably an enduring Memorable thing is how much a musical group has captivated people in ways so loving and wonderful, worldwide. Band-Maid has worked their magic on just about everyone who has discovered this very rare jewel, Band-Maid always pleases, never disappoints, sincere to their fans, showing feelings openly, spreading good feelings....and even thanking the fans in a beautiful and loving manner. many reaction peeps have let down their guard and shown emotion viewing this masterpiece...
WE love them....THEY love us....we are FAMILY
Loved hearing your thoughts, Champ. It's a rare thing, this connection between a band and its fans.
You are right. It is filled with (your) love. Pronouns, adjectives and conjunctions often are not reflected in translation. The line "Everyone knows wonderful world" is missing it's. That's a linguistic difficulty but the meaning is clear. For those of my generation l have seen this relationship at this level between band and fans really only once before. The Grateful Dead and the Deadheads. The Deadheads would follow that band to hell and back. Jerry Garcia use to say we have the most forgiving fans in the world. The Dead had their Deadheads and Band-Maid has the Maidiacs. Why? Because with both the true fans saw and experienced something way above just the music. It was a way of life and l see it becoming very much so with Band-Maid. BTW the Mohave never looked better. Simply because Miku was strolling through. Miku was about 70 miles from LA and fairly close to where the hottest temperature ever recorded on planet earth occurred. Love these women.
Thanks Champ. To me this song presents itself as so much more than a country tinged chamber pop tune when the meaning and intent is known. I love it.
Thank you for the review and welcome back!
Edit: I just want to add that after listening to this when it premiered, I wound up going back and listening to About Us. Probably spent an hour listening to both songs, but hey who's keeping track.
Thanks for the great comments, Champ. You articulated my thoughts about Kanami's solo perfectly. God knows I could listen to the creative licks that she writes all day, but it seems like in Memorable she really wanted a more focused solo, a short but gorgeous feature that doesn't interrupt the balladic vibe for very long.
I feel like it's a follow up of About us, the first love letter to the fans where they missed us and now that they started touring again they give us a second love letter where they say how happy they were to see us and to see how we missed them
I’m looking forward to seeing them in May for my first time ever I’ll be going to the Detroit show can’t wait going to be amazing BAND-MAID is amazing for writing a song for us Saiki voice is beautiful I going to try learn this song on my bass guitar it’s cause of MISA MISA MISA I’m learning how to play the bass see you in May Maids!!!! 🌎🎸👍😎👏 ant you’re right btw it’s a song for us fans 😎👍👏
Thanks Champ. You said it. This band will never know who I am, and they will never know the impact they have had on my life. The lyrics are defintely written with the fans in mind. Kanami wrote the song during the U.S. tour. The desert scene was filmed in SoCal during The Last Rockstars tour. All the feels for this one. 😭
Good job, Champ! Your explanations were helpful and on point. I hope the members feel the love from us. They'd be cynical people indeed if they didn't have some emotional reaction during the US tour. Crowds at show after show shouted out their love to them. It's a sweet song and performed emotionally. "Keep it simple, girls.", Kanami showing restraint in her writing, maybe this is what it was like in her singer/songwriter days. (Those videos _must_ surface some day!) Thank you, sir.
P.S. Ryan made me tear up but I kept it together during your reaction as heartfelt as it was.
Champ, I've watched your reactions since your first-time hearing DOMINATION (mv), and I will always look forward to what you have to say about music (BAND-MAID in particular). Thank you for his heartfelt reaction to MEMORABLE.
now i have 2 songs that give me chills, the other is about us
2 songs, 50 boxes of tissues 😭😄👍🍻
Thank you, Champ... Thank you...
Great video, brother. I think you've expressed well what it's like to know and become a Band-Maid fan. I've been a fan of the band for about 3 years and I love the videos you make about them. By the way, you were responsible for me starting to listen to Dreamcatcher, I will always be grateful for that.
Big hugs from Brazil
Another masterpiece! Makes me teary-eyed.
Your interpretation is head on!!
Love your breakdown and your take of the song. I get more appreciative of the song. Very good insight, thanks.
Love that "it feels like a blanket." Nice exposition of the lyrics, good reaction.
In the context of this song being a love letter between them and their fans, my first impression of Kanami's solo was a sense that, more than being one of her "short solos" in itself, it was in someway paraphrasing her. It's a charming, lovely, calm song.
1o year anniversary.... It's an achievement and they've come a long way......
When Saiki sings in her lower register she sounds so warm and sexy at the same time.
Great take on how the solo fits the song in a different way than "Daydreaming" dude!
Especially enjoyed this reaction. 🤘
It's specifically about the 2022 tour... they put on amazing shows, and the fan base gave it right back to them. "YOU LOVE ME"
Thank you for sharing this Champ. What absolutely gorgeous cinematography in the desert and what heartfelt lyrics. They really convey the relationship that they have with their fans - not just what we feel about them, but what they feel about us. This song doesn't have to show off their musicality to punch us in the feels (even though their skill does shine through anyway). I especially enjoyed the inclusion of the acoustic guitar as part of the sound. That Miku was played it was very neat as well.
This band can do what ever they chose .... gold
Champ they know who you are believe it
When you see them live as you did you can't miss the joy coming from them to those that are there to enjoy them
Wonderful.
The guitar solo is dream-like. There's a lot going on in the background with effects, echos and vocals. It's like they created a sonic foggy memory.
Thank you. I think you not only got the song intent right, you felt it. Good job bro.
Champ you are one of the reason they enjoy playing in the US.
I love the song but found the video odd that it featured Miku so much. Then Saiki posted on IG about the video and said it's their 10th year, and it all started with one little lamb. They love each other as much as they love their fans.
I also feel connected to this Band Best Band i discovered the Last 10 years.
They are like this Generations Beatles or Led Zepplin to me
I Love Band Maid for soo many Reasons. They have great Personalities, They are Like Family, They are able to Play pretty much EVERY Genre of Rock and Metal. and last but not least they are beautiful. Oh and they are very very good musicians.
This is such a fantastic song. Just a mellow vibe that just hits you right in your soul.
The solo in Daydreaming was an explosion of the emotional sequence, this one maintains the preceding emotion. However, I do wish it could've gone on for a couple more bars. Just wanted that emotional statement to go for just a little bit more. But, it's their choice to make, not mine. In the end, another great song.
This is an incredible "Thank You" song from the band. I'm really losing count of how much I have to turn my head for a few moments or wipe away the tears when I listen to it. Thanks for sharing your reaction Champ, spot on! Much Respect homie!🤘
Brilliant analysis and totally agree with you, Champ. Yeah!!
Awesome, very well said! Great song and great reaction. Thanks.
Champ you articulate yourself very well at how explaining and relating to Band Maid's songs. I always look forward to your reactions.
This song managed to make me tear up. They are amazing.
Hello my old friend... Mr. Wallet. Just ordered their new BD drop of the Tokyo Garden concert so I can hear (and see) Memorable over and over again. In the vein of other great mid-tempo Band-Maid songs like Daydreaming, Anemone, About Us, Endless Story, PAGE, Wonderland, Awkward, Start Over, Mirage, At the Drop of a Hat and Smile -- I’m so touched that their time in the States inspired the sentiment of Memorable. Just under $140 with shipping (April 26) & awesome bonus package* at CDJapan! Thx, Champ!
* "BAND-MAID TOKYO GARDEN THEATER OKYUJI". Compiles 26 tracks including a new song "Memorable", which was performed for the first time at this concert. Limited edition includes a bonus Blu-ray featuring a documentary on their tour in the U.S. and over 100-page photo book. Deluxe packaging.
I'm in love with Akane's drumming leading to, and during the guitar solo.
They don't do it often, so I'm happy Memorable is another song where an acoustic guitar is used. Now joining: Anemone, Page, At the Drop of a Hat
Love is the most powerful force on this old planet. I believe this incredible group of musicians have tapped into that power and we can feel and hear that. Apparently they feel that love reflected back. That's a hellavu feedback loop!
Thanks Champ!
"with love" and "with your love" were caused by the difference between Japanese and English languages...probably🤔
I'm sure that Miku and Saiki wrote the lyrics in Japanese and then translated into English. So my guess of the original Japanese lyrics are "kokoro ga ai de mitasarete iru no wo kangiru" (心が愛で満たされているのを感じる), and the direct translation of these are "feel heart is filled with love". I'm pretty sure that they even didn't have "I" (="watashi"="私") in the Japanese lyrics. In Japanese, "personal pronoun” is often omitted when it is clear from the context. When they worked on the English translation, they put "I" and "my" but forgot to put "your"...shirankedoh😏
Velvet Saiki moves me...
Great reaction...now, back to Extraordinary Attorney Woo reactions. Not hate, big BAND-MAIDIAC here...but Woo to the Young to the Woo? Glad you're feeling better.
I don't think she sings as the translation say, "You love me!", but "You loved me!", like she was loved in the gig last night. There are more strange things in the subs. And btw, I also hear "Your love".
I think the last line makes more sense as and sounds more like "our world" than "a world", but maybe "a world" is the actual lyric.
Beautiful song
and i totally get what you mean
first time i heard the song i didn't read the lyrics but i didn't need to as i got the feeling it was a song for the fans
specially as it's a mixture of english and japanese
this world would be a darker and boring place without Band Maid in it
Awesome song. And dammit, the desert, I recognize it, joshua trees and the mountains I know where that location is, bandmaid was less than 10 miles from my house and I didnt know it.
Welcome back, Champ! ;-)
Saike had me ugly crying when she sang "You wove me" and "We both surwender"🥲❤️. Which makes me wove them even more. Great analysis Champ. I agree with you completely. You probably know that the lyrics are co-written by Sieke and Miku. To me, that alone makes it less likely to be a conventional love song.
Only Miku would wear 3" heels in the desert. 🙂
Ryan was near to tears.
good speech. the song is more feeling than music
just like ABOUT US. Get out the tissues. I love these ladies.
awesome stuff
Nailed it, Champ. 🤘
muji" is not just the name of a chain of Japanese shops;----- it means "plain" !
There's a special reverence in Japan for things that are just "plain".
No frills, nothing spectacular, nothing added at all----just plain----with a simple presence all its own.
-------------This is what BandMaid gets across here.
The polar opposite of glam, hype, melodrama, sophistry, pretension....etc.................................
Miku gets it. She really gets it .
Please note how the TH-cam censors hate my comments---(always kill any upticks !)..it's a compliment, I guess .....
Band-Maid = Happiness💓.
Thanks so much nice reaction.!
love letter to fans.
Say good things.
THIS HAS in my opinion the Best accoustic guitar Sound that Band Maid ever had. and Some of Saiki s best Singing
But i also Love Miku here when she goes THIS TIIIME
Daydreamin's solo feels
Then I want you to listen to Judy and Mari's lover soul
You know what...all of my comments are trying to evade the feelings BAND-MAID has for their fans. If a US band did it, everyone would say, "Oh, Bullshit!" ...but this is BAND-MAID, the band that also gave us "About Us."
I think as far as a band that "does things they don't have to do" (great statement btw) with respect to their fans, I've never come across one like Band-Maid. They're just so fucking open-hearted. I defy anyone to remain mean around them.
the lyrics were written by kanami this time. its a love letter from her to saiki.... kidding. youre right in what its about hehe. I'm sure band maid knows you guys, chase and we know from the concert they know Mr rock n roll
This song is written by Kanami for audience.
MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃
They're special.
MISA MISA MISA!!!!!
Joshua Tree in California.
this made me think of the guitars in master of puppets
Saiki is really starting to learn how to "sing" English. By that I mean she is learning how to stretch runs over words across several notes.
For the record, it is Miku who wrote the lyrics of this song for the fans, but it is Saiki who gave them passion and meaning by the way she sang it. Not to leave out the trio, who tweaked the music until it matched the message.
This is Daydreaming 2.0 but less Bass Heavy
Couple of errors in the subtitles? The "...your smile" that you noticed Champ, and surely the last line is "....our world" not '....a world' ?? Lyrically 'our' makes much more sense. Am I crazy?
Yep, I agree she says "our world" meaning the Maid's and the Master's & Princesses' world.
@@lordvorador5735 Exactly.
If i was able to compose music Like Kanami i would ve started the guitar Solo at 9:16, But Who am i to question Kanamis Songwriting genius ?
....I feel connectet to the band as much as I feel connectet to you and other good reaction channels from the start. Is that wired? guess not.
I felt like some of the vocal runs were a nod to American R&B music, another way of saying "thank you."
