Damn fine music for their first song written and arranged by the very young band. Kanami had been writing songs and having them rejected for almost 2 years but finally the management recognized the talent they had in this group, and this was the start of their signature style.
Can’t even imagine how much this ment to Kanami. Her first song that those ” ugly Record company lords” accept. Love it!!! Lovin’ Band-Maid forever 🔥❤️
Well let me tell you about a story about a group named *BAND-MAID* A group of lovely girls who played rock music that thought was dead And then one day *BAND-MAID* went to the record producers And the next thing you know they started writing on their own *Alone* that is the first song they wrote on their own Well the next thing you know *BAND-MAID* is now and free To write their own music as they shouted out with glee They said *Domination* is where you oughta be And they pack up their gear to make history... 🤠 🐎 🐦 🎀
This was the first song written by them to be accepted by management. And they never looked back. When I think of all the rejected songs we'll never hear though it makes me ill.
Good catch on the vocals I think. Even though Saiki-san is an alto, usually, Miku-chan sings the lower part in harmony. But in this track, it’s the reverse. Saiki-san’s vocals was getting worse in this period culminating in surgery.
You were spot on a bou the guitar solo, it's one of Kanami's BEST! Just remember: Life is better with BAND-MAID! Thanks again for another great reaction! 🤘🤩🤘
Miku always sings with Saiki - harmonizing, sharing verses, singing in intervals, or just backing up. She also sings by herself on some tracks (Sayonakidori is amazing). Miku was the original vocalist until she realized that Band-Maid needed a specialist vocalist. One of my fave tracks where vocals are shared is Freezer, off the album New Beginning, but there are many other tracks where vocals are shared. Saiki's voice is velvety chocolate and Miku's is poppy fizz and they blend together wonderfully. Kanami and Misa also add their vocals occasionally, too. Check out Sayonakidori - th-cam.com/video/wbXUXVmu_X4/w-d-xo.html ... incredible vocals, wonderful song.
Once they were left "Alone" by their record / management companies to create what they wanted, well... look what they did. Alone's somewhat sad, heavy yet empowering story (topics Miku's known for writing about), up against Kanami's up-tempo, complex yet rockin' music is quintessential Band-Maid. BAND-MAID is an important influence and contributor to the music industry with a continuous, growing worldwide fanbase. But to me, they are just the best sounding, best writers of hard rock music, and the most fun, joyous group of musicians to come along since the Beatles! Thx, Lee Jay & Stan!
This song *Alone* has been one of my favorites.. For me a *masterclass* In fact the album *Just Bring it* has this song on it. One of my favorites you guys #HighlyReActiveReactions should check some tracks off of it. #BandMaid 🤘❤🔥🤘
You have to love the solo and the lead in to the solo..."I want to go away in 3, 2, 1 go" 🎸and Kanami "sings". Many argue one of her best solos to date. As for Saiki's voice, this song was before her vocal cord polyp surgery in the summer of 2017. Since then, with new vocal training due to the surgery, her voice has been developing year after year. Becoming fuller, stronger and rounder. There is an impressive documentary series on the Ohrenje channel and the Saiki episode, they show the progression on her voice from the surgery. The entire 7 part series is amazing and I know 7 part sounds like a lot, but trust me. The time flies by and some have done reactions to it. The are very high quality, with great production, very entertaining and extremely informative. It will give you so much respect for the members. The series starts with Saiki --> 2nd Kanami --> followed Akane --> up next MISA --> and ends with 3 episodes devoted to Miku. Ohrenje has been updating the series with more updated information, so there are two versions of the first two so far, so there is a new and an old version for Saiki and Kanami. TBH, both are great and there are some things in the first versions not included in the second, so it great to watch both. Enjoy the journey. PO! 🕊 🤘😆🤘
Heard Kid Rock on the radio ripping off Lynyrd Skynyrd and Warren Zevon, thank fck I was able to play some BAND-MAID asap to cancel out the toxins. B-M is a musical force of nature and we're all the better for it, never not a ten out of ten, cheers 👍🍻
lol. Hey Bruno, I hope they have more than one radio station down under. We've suffered enough through the years. You're never Alone with BAND-MAID. 🔥😎
@@jkkansasband7056 😁😁 It might as well be one station JK 90 % of them have the same formats with the same songs, yep I always feel like B-M is my Bestie 👍🍻🍻
Back in the early 90's , as a part of my FedEx duties, I made regular stops at Rob Richie's apartment to to pick up his demo cassettes for delivery to a record company. He was a good guy... always polite and professional. That guy,of course, became Kid Rock. Other couriers had a similar experience with a kid named Marshall Mathers. Later to become Eminem. 🤔
You guys haven't even scratched the surface of BAND-MAID's extensive Power Pop repertoire. Try OMVs for 'Blooming' it's a Masterpiece, and 'Unleash' where they appear in Anime form.
"Power Metally".....glad I was here to witness "a first" in the English language.......LOL! MISA still on her four string bass, Akane with her little hat (from MISA) Miku with her Rickenbacker bass she could still barely play, Kanami on her Addictone guitar and pre-vocal chord polyp surgery Saiki on the verge of vocal struggles could STILL kick a lot of todays band's asses.

This is the first song the label let them produce with their own writing, and they've never looked back. Onwards and upwards!
Their first self-written song definitely deserves a 10! Thanks gents!
Yes, Kanami's first work which was accepted by the producer.
@@mootodlol I knew this was going to be clarified by someone. Correct.
@@Parker-- Splitting hairs. 😆
My favourite song. Thanks you guys. 🙂
I love their pop-punk songs so much. Saiki really shines on these songs.
The suits finally let loose of the band's creativity and the rest is history. Kanami is a genius. Best rock band on the planet.
Love-Love-Love them vocals, they kill it! Band maid my fav band.
Their first real song, it's a 10!
The first self-written song by the Maids really deserves a 10-mates
Can’t even imagine how much this ment to Kanami. Her first song that those ” ugly Record company lords” accept. Love it!!! Lovin’ Band-Maid forever 🔥❤️
Well let me tell you about a story about a group named *BAND-MAID*
A group of lovely girls who played rock music that thought was dead
And then one day *BAND-MAID* went to the record producers
And the next thing you know they started writing on their own
*Alone* that is the first song they wrote on their own
Well the next thing you know *BAND-MAID* is now and free
To write their own music as they shouted out with glee
They said *Domination* is where you oughta be
And they pack up their gear to make history... 🤠 🐎 🐦 🎀
"Swimmin' pools... Movie Stars..." 🙂
I sing ALONE in my cee-ment pond ;) .
Thanks for reaction for a great song
You're right 👍 You never know what to expect, other than great music 🤘🤘🔥🔥

It's pop-punk with the most power-metalish solo I heard by Kanami.❤
Good catch on the vocals I think. Even though Saiki-san is an alto, usually, Miku-chan sings the lower part in harmony. But in this track, it’s the reverse. Saiki-san’s vocals was getting worse in this period culminating in surgery.

First Kanami's touch dawn. Legend.

Check out Sayonakidori - th-cam.com/video/wbXUXVmu_X4/w-d-xo.html ... incredible vocals, wonderful song.
I still think that's the best song to introduce Band Maid to a new person.
Thanks so much for your sharing and lovely reaction!
How about Brooming is the next song?

@@brunobryant4846I think that feeling about radio being all the same is pretty universal across the globe at this point.

Spot on. Its a shame they didnt back it up 5 seconds to get the feel.
