You are right on Chris. There are NO egos in this band. The fans let them know what they love and BAND-MAID responds with more of what the fans love. But BAND-MAID can probably do anything and we'll love it. Peace. 16.1
The maids go to great lengths to make sure that every member gets to have their moments. It's always been that way. Ego doesn't come into play with these ladies.. They played 33 songs that night and this was song #27. They are machines. 😁
I am pretty sure Gacharic Spin's Kirakrai is about hate as well (kirai means hate in Japanese) and it is extremely upbeat in typical Gacharic Spin fashion. Not sure how they do it, but for some reason it just works extremely well for both of them.
Band-Maid is in the unusual position of having five uniquely talented members. Yes, Misa and Kanami are center stage showcasing their talent here, but everybody else, Miku Akane, and Saiki, are in top form throughout. Akane ties everything together with incredible drumming (Triplets, triplets, everywhere!), Saiki is at the top of her vocal form, sarcastically belting out the lyrics she penned, and Miku? Miku is shredding away backing both Misa and Kanami during their "battle" - put on your best headphones and listen in the left channel and you'll hear Miku doing some excellent playing. And Miku is priceless when she sings: "Why Don't You Try To Un-der-stand Me?" That Band-Maid can make it all look so effortless, so fluid, so organic, shows that they have this performance as meticulously planned as a scene from an epic movie. Kudos to Band-Maid!
@@lakerssupremacy You, too - WTF is a "female japanese voice"? What about "female asian voices", or "female oriental voices"? Or "female middle-east voices"?
The song title is actually a play on words. Below is a copy of what I was told. ----------------------------------------------------- The members of BAND-MAID once said this during the MC for OKYUJI in Japan. The English word "HATE (phonetic symbols: héit)" is pronounced in the Romanized pronunciation as "hate (phonetic symbols: hǝte, hate)," which means "? ＝Question mark" in Japanese. So they seem to enjoy pronouncing this song as "Hate (hǝte)?" in the Romanized pronunciation on purpose (tilting their head to the side), not as "HATE (héit)" in English! So, the title of the song, "?" is just a pun that Japanese people can understand.
Band-Maid is the best rock group on the planet!! They’re on a level on their own, everytime I’ve see. Them live the never ever disappoint me! This group knows how to serve up a great dish leaving you wanting to more and more
Kind of scary... I mean, their musical talent. So tight. It seems like the main players have such deep musical knowledge. They're not just randomly playing the meaningless notes, they know what they're doing and take it to the next level with this intense playing.
I hope you guys pre-ordered the BD-DVD of this concert, which is due to be shipped on the 27th of this month. If you get the special edition you also get the behind the scenes documentary of their 2023 tour. If you have and once you get it, you need to do a reaction to Miku's special solo intro to Influencer. The Small Pigeon gets to show off her skills and sounded and looked good doing it.
@@vincentfalcone9218 evidently YT removed my reply from yesterday. Go to their website and in the info section they have a post listing all of the places you can order it from. With shipping the least expensive is CD Japan I think and it's the DVD only and it's around 50 US.
@@vincentfalcone9218 I buy from CD Japan. The prices on the products are reasonable but the shipping is what is expensive. To counter that, I usually wait and place an order with multiple items together.
This song is the best "Get Lost" song I have heard in a long time. The lyrics are brutal to the person it was intended for. Saiki wrote the lyrics that the band accepted. Obviously, she was pissed at someone.
Love the track and the conversation between the guitar and bass. And love the savage putdown of a mans pride in Saiki's lyrics "10 minutes of limp gymnatastics" ouch!!!
Probably the band's master opening movement was having a guitar and drums rhythm section, giving absolute freedom to their bassist to shine as only she can.
Most of us didn't know the context of Hate? when they played it in Charlotte, but we loved it anyway as Saiki kept singing "I Hate You, I Hate You, I Hate You, I". She chose the whip instead of candy this time. 😁
I hope that someday Miku will get to be part of a 3 way "conversation." She is getting there even though she also works as the main lyricist and spokes-pigeon for the band. BTW there are translated lyrics that can be brought up on the video.
She totally was a part in "Don't you tell me" during the battle, she does guitar effects way in the background. You can see they have a light on her in the wide shots. In 'Hate' during the dueling, she comes in about halfway thru with power chords that ramp it up. Miku is a badass in her own right!
If you put the guitar/bass duel into context of the sound of a couple arguing, heard through an apartment wall, that fits with the lyric content which is Saiki absolutely shredding some useless guy (Saiki wrote the lyrics on this one). They did this at Lollapalooza as well, but this sounds so much better. Check out the Choose Me video from this show that Ohrenje edited together from 24 fan cams (the crowd was allowed to film one song on their phones out of 3.5 hours), where Saiki, Misa and Kanami take a stroll around the arena while playing and singing. This show was absolutely epic.
There were a few firsts at with this show- Saiki singing solo at the piano. The catwalk to the centre of the crowd really exposed the band members who used it- Saiki on her own then Kanami and Misa soloing together etc and, was this their biggest one man show, crowd wise. The capacity is 17,000 but I gather that it didn't quite sell out.
Thank You for the enjoyable song and reaction. 👍👍 Very good point about solos. Band Maid is clearly not a dictatorship. Their mutual respect creates a lovely 'vibe'. As potent on the 'Joy-O-Meter' as their music. Maybe add Dirty Loops "Run Away" to your list of reactions. It's a feast for eyes and ears, and a total 'Hoot'. Dirty Loops do not take themselves too seriously. Best Wishes. ☮
You reacted to this song performed at a different venue (Lollapalooza) around 5 months ago. th-cam.com/video/EvdBAQaMMv8/w-d-xo.html Personally, I prefer this performance at Yokohama Arena.
@@MaybeMetal-ug3jg Regarding the video from Lollapalooza, from a visual perspective, I loved that they showed a lot of Akane, and as it was during the daytime, you could see all the band member's facial expressions clearly.
A comment on translating the Japanese language: Japanese pronouns don't have gender. They use the same pronouns no matter the subject's gender. So all the members of Band-Maid can be translated as "He" unless the translator knows the members' gender, then they refer to them (in English) as "She".

Saiki actually wrote the lyrics to this song. She really dislikes someone here. Love your reaction to this. This is from the Yokohama concert. Make sure you check out all of their latest videos from this concert. They are awesome as always. And they are doing an acoustic concert here in a couple of hours from now. It is not on a livestream anywhere, so many of us are anxiously awaiting a Bluray disc from this. Also, be alert to any new videos from the acoustic. If they do release them, you know it will be awesome! Thanks again for supporting Band-Maid.
The deepl translator does a much better job with Japanese than google (and usually offers alternatives). Most translators have a problem with gender-identified Japanese pronouns. You'll often see "he" or "his" when referring to Band-Maid, but the translator can't tell.
Written by Saiki. The question mark is to do with Japanese grammar and is, like the way Miku also writes, a great interplay between Japanese and English phraseology and grammar that meant the statement she wanted to use, "I hate you", when translated into Japanese ended up being a question. Or something.
From a Japanese fan (pohojisan): "Today, one reactor wondered why there was "?" in the title of "HATE?", so I wrote the reason in its comments section. Then it occurred to me that I don't think I've written about this story on Mearcord or BM-CD yet.

Great reaction and in this video you can see a rare smile from MISA at the end her solo. Saiki wrote the lyrics. Her friend, LISA (a great singer), was cheated on by her husband during covid and created a huge scandal in the press. Saiki was pissed.
I have read a Reddit and Misa mentions her love of alcohol. She drinks alcohol when she is on stage. In her words her playing gets a bit messy towards the end. It's a shame and I hope she gets over it before it soon. Far to many band members have ruined their careers because of drugs and or alcohol. She has become known as The Barefoot Assassin.
Band Maid is an impossible band. I'm 100% sure they made a deal with the Devil. You can pick any top name bands from the past. I don't care if it's Led Zeppelin or Rolling Stones or Pink Floyd or any other. They've all had songs that are stinkers. But I defy you to find a Band Maid stinker. ❤Kanami❤ should be wrapped in bubble wrap with the helmet in a hermetically sealed container when she's not playing. Her brain Is way too valuable.
Having heard that this song is apparently dedicated to a cheating (ex-)husband of a friend, I interpret Kanami's battle with Misa like the arguments in a failing marriage. The guitar proceeds into a monologue (the solo) that escalates into an outburst of frustration with increasingly hard power chords (even more so in the Lollapalooza performance), erratic screeches and fast tapping. The ability to tell a story without spoken words, without being limited by a particular language used in a particular place, to convey relatable emotion, is what Kanami's guitar playing and composing mean to me.
I personally can't understand why those, especially men, find the female Japanese voice conducive to producing any type of rock or heavy metal sound. It just doesn't work for me. EDIT: On the other hand, that guitar and bass player duo was pretty damn awesome.

and don't forget the world class drummer that holds it all together.
It's amazing how Band-Maid has rewritten the laws of nature: Hate brings Love! 😖--->🎀--->😍 Thx, Chris & Sam!
Song: I hate you!!!
Maids: 😻😹🎀😹😻
Never knew playing a song about hate can be this much fun!
I am pretty sure Gacharic Spin's Kirakrai is about hate as well (kirai means hate in Japanese) and it is extremely upbeat in typical Gacharic Spin fashion. Not sure how they do it, but for some reason it just works extremely well for both of them.
The Warning just announced Bandmaid invited them to open for them in Japan! They are fans of each other!
MISA! MISA! MISA!
The barefoot assassin!

Misa and Kanami are on fire, I love a good "hold my beer" guitar battle between them and this (in my opinion) is one of their best ❤🎸🎸🤘
From what I read in regards to the guitar/bass battle, Saiki told them " OK. You guys do something here". And that amazing part was born.

There is no question mark after "hate." They are pretty clear that they hate unconditionally and want the person to die.
Saiki wrote the lyrics for this song and all I know is I would hate to be the guy those words are about because ... ouch.
Chaotic ... 😢😢
Rule number one: do not tick off a woman in a world-famous rock band. 😂
