They are definately a Rock Band. Anything other than that it gets more difficult. Trying to Pigeon Hole the music of Band Maid on the way down the Pigeon Hole (did you see what I did there) is not easy to do. Which is why we like them so much. It's Band Maid doing Band Maid Things (Chase Carneson c 2020). But it is natural for newbies to try and catagorise their music, but you can't do it in one word. The genre is Band Maid.
Yeah, everyone just calls this "metal". It is and it isn't. BAND-MAID just can't play one single genre at a time. That's why they are so damn special. They have the ability to blend various genres into every song they produce. Some songs might have more punk than metal, while others might have more jazz than rock. 'Rinne' has all of those styles going on thru out the song. You just can't nail this band down to one style. Labels only last a minute or two before the structure of the songs switch to something else. Just gotta take each song as it's own thing. It's BAND-MAID doing BAND-MAID things.
The "video" was shot on 8mm film, as suggested by Saiki (lead singer). She is a fan of horror movies and in particular a movie called 'Rinne' or Reincarnation. The grainy nature of 8mm film lends itself this unsettling look. And the hole at the edge are sprocket holes used to move the film through the camera. I'm not sure if they recreated those in post or just exposed the film from edge to edge. Normally you wouldn't see the sprocket holes as would be matted off. I like the effect. I like everything about the video. Guess it's because I'm old enough to still remember what film was like. ;-)
@@Greg-om2hb Not from what I've heard. They bought up all the 8mm they could find in Tokyo to shoot the MV. But I live 8 thousand miles away so I don't know.
This is a reference to the famous Japanese horror film "Rinne (Reincarnation)" (2005), where the criminal records his murders on an 8 mm camera to see what happens to the soul after death.
35 and love the filter because I get the reference. It fits the era and genre the song perfectly because that’s what it would have looked like if made at that time the song feels like it was made.
Band-Maid's Flight of the Bumble Bee song is H-G-K. There's no MV, but the song is in my personal Top 5 tracks of their's. It's off the Unseen World album along with Manners and Black Hole.
The puppy wants out!!! Band-Maid "drifts" around. That's what they do. Can't pigeon hole them. And why I LOVE the Awesome BAND-MAID. This song was in response that they were going soft. But they are just very diverse and will excel at anything they play. Peace. 2.28
Genre discussion aside. You nailed it when you called them fun. As an old guy they remind me how fun rock music was in 70s and 80s and brought back a lot of the joy in music for me
I was just looking at a video where a group of musicians were going through an article in some online music magazine where they were defining all the various forms of "metal" and listing various bands as examples. They were amused by 1) the vast array of labels 2) how much overlap there was and 3) how much they disagreed with some of the definitions and examples. By the end they were wondering why there wasn't "beach core" (which turns out to be a fashion term) like "Miserlou" played at 220 and dripping with distortion (but NO reverb!). I guess terms like this are useful for conversation but it doesn't seem like there is universal agreement. "Rock and Roll" were originally verbs that referred to the ladies and their clients upstairs at "The Rising Sun" but by the late '60s and early '70s there was "hard rock" was a noun, and then "metal" was a form of "hard rock." Whatever. I just want music touches my heart and moves me.
Metal is infamous for dividing itself into a million indistinct subgenres. One can argue there’s more subgenres of metal than there are metal bands lol.
The best Rock band on Earth. Rinne translates as 'reincarnation'. Try their 220 BPM 'Black Hole' live. This video was filmed on 8mm film on a camera that was made before any of the ladies were born, to emphasise the theme of reincarnation.
I have to agree with you on the Punk Rock DNA with the Maids. They have been steeped in it from the start. Just look at some of the stances that Kanami takes with her guitar playing. Right from the opening, & at 1:19, for example. I slam danced my way through the Punk era back in the 70's with bands like The Ramones, Black Flag, The Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Saints, etc. But BAND-MAID fuse it in with so many other styles in just such a brilliant way.
People that say BAND-MAID is metal either don't know BAND-MAID or don't know what metal is. Still glad you watched, and reacted to, it though. 🔥MAIDs ROCK!🔥
You kids have never seen 8mm film. A filter was applied to digital video to emulate 8mm film. That little box is a sprocket hole that would be used to pull the film through the camera and projector.
It was stated officially it was filmed in 8mm or at least some of it has... But yeah I agree I've seen plenty of 8mm films in my day and it's not this distorted. This video definitely has had some post-processing filtering done on it.
Not a filter. It was shot on 8mm film. 'Rinne' is also the title of a Japanese movie that was also shot on 8mm film. Rinne just means reincarnation. Is it Punk? Yeah, a little. I would say Thrash Metal influenced. Interesting you'd say Punk. Most people say Metal, even though BAND-MAID consider themselves to be Hard Rock. Another Metal influenced song would be 'Different'. And that would be a Pigeon Hole, since Miku's last name means Little Pigeon. Pigeons in Japan don't coo, they karuppo, which is why she's always ending sentences in Po.
I've seen real 8mm films they don't look this distorted, Yes this was filmed on 8mm, but there are additional filtering done to give it more of an aged look.
Bumblebee 🤔 if you wanna bumblebee... Try HGK😆 no bumblebee but more like a killer hornet.. swarm "in your face"🤣 8mm film camera... i guess the MV using the real thing... I think so.. if i do remember the MV Making on Band-Maid prime... Anyway thanks for the reaction
Number 1 its not possible to understand everything that is happening in a first listen. number 2 everything Band-Maid does has meaning and intent. number 3 this is Band-maids big FU to the trolls accusing Band-maid of going mainstream and not being a rock band... Band Maid will blend genre's in a single song and as ive stated many time in the past Band-Maid IS a genre. po
It’s not a filter. It’s shot on old 8mm film to give it the feeling of a Japanese horror movie by the same name. They’re hard rock with lots of genre mixing.
It's more than just 8mm film, I've seen real home video 8mm films and it's not this distorted, it has additional filtering added to it to give it a more aged look.
I'm a die hard maidiac, but I can see where you're coming from with the punk rock thing. Everyone is allowed their own tastes :) Nothing wrong in liking different crap. That's how music evolves, by having different tastes. There are no music videos for them, but Corallium and Hibana are probably the new direction they're taking, and It's awesome. Corallium is a total mind fuck musically
Trying to label BAND-MAID is kind of futile. If I HAD to put a pin in it, it's hard rock, but they wander all over the place. Pop-punk, heavy metal, straight pop, jazz, hell, even rap show up on occasion. I don't know if you can find it because it's not an official video, but there's a live version of "Moratorium" out there that's wonderfully all over the place. Stadium rock anthem? Yep. Hard rock? Mmmhmm. Synth pop? How'd you know? Detuned dirgy old sludge metal? That's in there too.
@@falconsooner mine too. Incredibly heavy guitars, thunderous drums, catchy pop vocals, then plays another song with a heavy singalong and then blends them together to create even more magic.
😂 You didn’t like the music video? Lol no way, man. It’s 100% on point with the sort of video cliches it’s replicating. I love it cuz it fits this song perfectly. It matches the flavor of the track to a T. I think of their music videos the same way I think of something like the Fast and Furious movies; they’re not breaking the mold and a lot of it is cliche for the song they’re doing but it’s just so on point and so much big dumb fun you can’t help but laugh and smile. Look at warning; fast cars and fireballs for a song that sounds like it came from racing soundtrack? Hilarious dumb fun that perfectly fits the song. Thrill does the simple black and white and red similar to white stripes to match the relatively simple early 00’s era pop-rock, almost Donnas-esque sound of that time? Silly fun and completely accurate. People think of cliche they think it’s bad, but it’s not, because when you do cliche with gusto and effort, it just lets you shut your brain off and enjoy the astounding positive vibes the music offers.
I have to disagree. The Thrill music video is pretty bad and it looks cheap. That's not even meant as a criticism, necessarily, as they just didn't have much resources at the time. Still.
Glad to see you're over 2K subs, you deserve more. I like your analysis and chill style, so preferable to reactors who scream and shout, and say "wow" a lot while interrupting solos, and generally contributing nothing of value, lol. Come on Maidiacs, Wolf Pack, The Warning Army etc, give this guy some support! 🤗
This is NOT a personal criticism… please don’t take it that way. So, I have become more and more irritated as reactors try to pin a genre on Band Maid. Almost everyone does it, so that’s why I’m not picking on any one person. It bothers me because the most common ones are “metal” and, while I love some metal, I know they are not really metal. What they do is incorporate metal elements without sounding formulaic. Then there’s “pop”… and I think that so much pop music is crap, IMO, that it’s a terrible label for them. What they do, though, is incorporate a strong pop sensibility that makes even their heaviest, fastest, most progressive, material come across as very catchy and accessible. Lastly there’s punk”… and I think of punk as being relatively simplistic, and that’s not them at all. They may often have that punk sound but they are SO much more than that label, IMO. So, many of us love the “Band Maid doing Band Maid things” statement because it’s accurate in it’s vagueness. A more standard label that works-especially with their newer material-is “progressive”, because they’re starting to display those things that typify progressive music more and more, including mixing and matching of genres.
Well that sounds a lot like your own personal hangups and bias. ‘It’s not pop because lots of pop is crap’ is a sophomoric attitude to take. There’s a lot of metal, rock, punk, progressive and tons of other genres that is absolute crap as well. Actually almost all music is crap and the only stuff you hear is the top 1% that wasn’t filtered out for one reason or another and even then alot of that is crap as well. There is no genre of music without crap in it. Punk isn’t about being simple for that matter either, its about drum patterns and chords played. And progressive really only applies to two of their songs, BH and No God. Now I will agree B-M is not a metal band, tho this song is primarily metal, but they are rock and they are what hard rock would have evolved into after blending all the rock and punk and metal (not nu-metal) had all those genres not completely died out by late 00’s. They’re a modern rock band that takes risks which means they are alone in their sound no matter which sound that may be.
I would say this isn’t heavy metal, it’s a bit more thrash metal which does have an influence from the aggressive punk scene of the time. Very early early 90’s thrash vibes. Of course, B-M tends to not just stick to the confines of one genre and like to evolve the song as it goes.
There was no filter... This was actually filmed on an 8mm camera... Yes they really were that bad..... They used this camera because the killer in the movie used the same 8mm camera to try and capture his victims soul departing at the moment of death. This is probably about as metal as BAND-MAID gets.... Thank god... I find most metal music extremely repetitive. Other than a few exception ( ones with real musicians ) most tracks of a given metal band sound nearly all the same. Most filled with hate, anger, jealousy and rage. Not the type of music I am drawn to.
@@roygillotti4615 If the film in a projector gets to hot it will melt... Light leaks in the camera, over exposure, under exposure and bad developing can cause all kinds of strange affects. The film industry has been using these effects long before computes even had graphics...... Apparently you have little experience working with and editing celluloid film..... But I would not be surprised if some modern computer filters were also used on the video after it was converted to digital.
@@GSpotter63 I have quite a bit of dark room film development experience with Black and White and Color film as I used to have a dark room before development chemicals became difficult to buy, while I don't have motion capture film experience it's the same process essentially. The base video appears to be natural film not denying that, but it has some computerized post-processing done.
Yup, I knew it. I did a countdown in my head until the first : "I don't understand the effect on the video. I can't see anything. Why did they...?" Sigh. I feel so bad for Band-Maid that like at least 80% of North American "musicians" or worse, "reactors" on TH-cam just don't get it.
There is no filter. It's 8mm film. And done for a reason I'm sure will be explained below. I love it, it fits with the song. I'm glad Band-Maid isn't metal, because I detest metal music with a passion. I do pick up punk vibes off them often, but that's mixed in with hard rock, blues, jazz, prog, pop, funk etc. No specific genre, just Band-Maid doing Band-Maid things.
This filter has a little notch on the left and grainy to simulate an old 8mm movie film. My interpretation of this MV based on the title "Rinne", is that it represents music that once was thought of as dead, has come back to life, i.e. "Rock is dead".REE NE is the Japanese shortening of the word reincarnation. Just my opinion .
Nope. I’ve been listening to Punk Rock since the beginning of Punk Rock. When I listen to BAMD-MAID, I don’t hear Punk Rock. Their music is much more complex.
If you don't know what punk-rock is, just check Wikipedia: "..short, fast-paced songs with hard-edged melodies and singing styles, stripped-down instrumentation, and often shouted political, anti-establishment lyrics." Does it sound to you like Band-Maid? The greatest punk-rock bands are Ramones, Sex Pistols, Nirvana and the Clash - just listen to their music, it's nothin like Band-Maid, not even close. I'd say, from musical and lyrics perspective Band-Mid is kind of opposite to punk-rock: multilayered instrumentation/riffing with complex harmonies, song structures, constantly changing rhythmic patterns and deep philosophical/psychological lyrics.
Well, I wouldn't put Nirvana into that list, but yeah, everything you said. At least, that's what it was in the '70s. By the '90s and 2000s punk had evolved, like metal had, and started incorporating other elements. Band-Maid might approach Green Day-style punk, but Kanami Tono is too non-conformist to ever stick to one style entirely, not to mention MISA and Akane. Listen to MISA's jazz break right after Kanami's blistering solo in this song ... stuff like that makes me shake my head in wonder.
I agree. Many drummers have attributed the occasional punk feel to Akane's drumming. But others, Misa and Kanami's chugging chord elements, but that's all. Unseen World is probably the most catagorisable album- Hard Rock, with the obviously different Manners and Black Hole at either end of the spectrum.
@@surfingasongwave "evolved" punk-rock with "other elements" is no longer punk-rock, it's an alternative pop-rock. Punk, as a movement/culture is always charged with anti-establishment message. If there is none, then it's not punk.
To bad band maid reactions come down to guessing what style of music they play it getting embarrassing to bad you don't like the art style either because it shows the inparation they have to show what they can accomplish they are they greatest band out now not uer what 4horns mean if it a rating system then I'm out reactors shouldn't rate the music they react to its cheap sssoooo if I had to rate this reaction I'd give it a 2 out of 100 other than that it was ok
Video was shot using a Super 8 MM camera like old horror movies and I am sure a Maidiac will come along and explain why they chose it. Great song.

Listen carefully youngsters!
The record device is called Super 8 camera. A 💯% classic silent camera.
There is a little punk influence in some of their songs but this is not very punk. And this was filmed on super 8 film. No filters. It’s old school.
Band-Maid = wide genre progressive hard rock = a new genre simply called: Maid Music
There was no filter... This was actually filmed on an 8mm camera... Yes they really were that bad..... They used this camera because the killer in the movie used the same 8mm camera to try and capture his victims soul departing at the moment of death.
This is probably about as metal as BAND-MAID gets.... Thank god... I find most metal music extremely repetitive. Other than a few exception ( ones with real musicians ) most tracks of a given metal band sound nearly all the same. Most filled with hate, anger, jealousy and rage. Not the type of music I am drawn to.
It was filmed with 8mm sure, but there are additional filtering on it as real 8mm film doesn't look this distorted.

Then I must have had a very messed up camera back in the 70's haahha
@@GSpotter63 I'd be impressed to see the the computerized melting effects and over all fuzzy filter applied with 70's computer technology.
@@roygillotti4615
If the film in a projector gets to hot it will melt... Light leaks in the camera, over exposure, under exposure and bad developing can cause all kinds of strange affects. The film industry has been using these effects long before computes even had graphics......
Apparently you have little experience working with and editing celluloid film.....
But I would not be surprised if some modern computer filters were also used on the video after it was converted to digital.
@@GSpotter63 I have quite a bit of dark room film development experience with Black and White and Color film as I used to have a dark room before development chemicals became difficult to buy, while I don't have motion capture film experience it's the same process essentially. The base video appears to be natural film not denying that, but it has some computerized post-processing done.
Yup, I knew it. I did a countdown in my head until the first : "I don't understand the effect on the video. I can't see anything. Why did they...?"
Sigh. I feel so bad for Band-Maid that like at least 80% of North American "musicians" or worse, "reactors" on TH-cam just don't get it.
How can one understand something they dont know about?
There is no filter. It's 8mm film. And done for a reason I'm sure will be explained below. I love it, it fits with the song. I'm glad Band-Maid isn't metal, because I detest metal music with a passion. I do pick up punk vibes off them often, but that's mixed in with hard rock, blues, jazz, prog, pop, funk etc. No specific genre, just Band-Maid doing Band-Maid things.
This filter has a little notch on the left and grainy to simulate an old 8mm movie film. My interpretation of this MV based on the title "Rinne", is that it represents music that once was thought of as dead, has come back to life, i.e. "Rock is dead".REE NE is the Japanese shortening of the word reincarnation. Just my opinion .
This is def old school 70-80's heavy metal and they do have a lot of punk influence.
Personally I wouldn't say this sounds anything like punk.
Nope. I’ve been listening to Punk Rock since the beginning of Punk Rock. When I listen to BAMD-MAID, I don’t hear Punk Rock. Their music is much more complex.
If you don't know what punk-rock is, just check Wikipedia: "..short, fast-paced songs with hard-edged melodies and singing styles, stripped-down instrumentation, and often shouted political, anti-establishment lyrics." Does it sound to you like Band-Maid? The greatest punk-rock bands are Ramones, Sex Pistols, Nirvana and the Clash - just listen to their music, it's nothin like Band-Maid, not even close. I'd say, from musical and lyrics perspective Band-Mid is kind of opposite to punk-rock: multilayered instrumentation/riffing with complex harmonies, song structures, constantly changing rhythmic patterns and deep philosophical/psychological lyrics.
Well, I wouldn't put Nirvana into that list, but yeah, everything you said. At least, that's what it was in the '70s. By the '90s and 2000s punk had evolved, like metal had, and started incorporating other elements. Band-Maid might approach Green Day-style punk, but Kanami Tono is too non-conformist to ever stick to one style entirely, not to mention MISA and Akane. Listen to MISA's jazz break right after Kanami's blistering solo in this song ... stuff like that makes me shake my head in wonder.
I agree. Many drummers have attributed the occasional punk feel to Akane's drumming. But others, Misa and Kanami's chugging chord elements, but that's all. Unseen World is probably the most catagorisable album- Hard Rock, with the obviously different Manners and Black Hole at either end of the spectrum.
Nirvana is punk? I learned something new.🙄
@@patron40silver From their Wiki: "Genres: Grunge, alternative rock, punk rock, hard rock". BTW: grunge is a fusion of punk-rock and hard-rock/metal.
@@surfingasongwave "evolved" punk-rock with "other elements" is no longer punk-rock, it's an alternative pop-rock. Punk, as a movement/culture is always charged with anti-establishment message. If there is none, then it's not punk.
To bad band maid reactions come down to guessing what style of music they play it getting embarrassing to bad you don't like the art style either because it shows the inparation they have to show what they can accomplish they are they greatest band out now not uer what 4horns mean if it a rating system then I'm out reactors shouldn't rate the music they react to its cheap sssoooo if I had to rate this reaction I'd give it a 2 out of 100 other than that it was ok
Thanks for the rating!
