All these girls have so much talent. Misa the bass player, in my opinion, is the best I’ve ever seen. At 65 years I’ve seen many. The drummer rocks and the lead guitarist rips that guitar to shreds. They all have so much talent!
Band-Maid is one of the best hard rock bands in the world ! Don't let the costumes fool you these ladies are all seasoned musicians ! They will be touring the US this fall and all the shows are sold out =( Check out "Play" Live "Real Existence" Live or their "Blooming MV ! They use to wear the same costumes at first , now they design their own costumes ! Thanks Y'all / New Subscriber btw the bass player is MISA MISA MISA ( The Barefoot Assassin )
Miku (rhythm guitar, vocals and lyrics) who started the band came up with the idea when she was working in a maid cafe, the contrast (gap) between a hard rock band dressed as maids. Long story short, Saiki (vocals) and Misa (bass) were not entirely onboard (understatement) with dressing as maids so they developed their costumes into Spanish Maid and Croatian/ Chinese Maid ( yeah right). The result is that their costumes now are a fair reflection of their personalities although whilst Misa loooks badass and scary (nickname The Barefoot Assassin), truth be told she is extremely shy and wouldn't say boo to a goose.
The 'Croatian' maid thing was translation error in an interview. The correct translation was 'assassin'. But yeah Saiki's dress is Spanish maid inspired while MISA's s Chinese.
@@Davey-Boyd Exactly. The original translator mistook 殺し屋/Koroshiya (Killer, or Assassin) with クロアチ/Kuroachia (Croatian). Those two words sound similar in Japanese, and the person translating an early TV interview with BAND-MAID mistranslated that spoken word.
Full English is bacon, sausage, eggs, baked beans, black pudding, mushrooms and a fried slice. Band Maid however are the real deal; best rock band for years.
They were playing hengao with the the drummer, Akane to try and put her off . It never works lol. You ain't seen nothing yet, rock ballads through to hard rock bordering on metal, jazz, blues, punk and acoustic versions of their songs that can make you cry. Oh and sometimes they can be just plain crazy, all the while sounding like Band Maid. prediction - you are going to fall in love with Misa, the barefoot assassin on bass.
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.” Interviewer: Maid outfits aren’t exactly rock ‘n’ roll. What is your ultimate heavy metal costume? “Now Band-Maid’s outfits are part of rock n roll, so we pick these!”
The name 'Domination' is about dominating the world with their "service" which is what they call a concert. They gather around the drummer, Akan. and make funny faces at her to make her laugh and see if she screws up the hard part. It's a common thing in Japan called, hengao 変顔 へんがお means “strange face”. MISA the Barefoot Assassin was the first to ditch the apron. She wears all black, and as the "Cool Asian Beauty", opted for a Traditional Chinese Cheongsam dress. Saiki, The Queen, was next. She still has elements of Maid in her costume but more subdued than the others. The Darkness Sisters give them their edge. Akane switched to shorts rather than a skirt. It' just more practical when drumming, like losing the tiny hat. Miku the founder and Kanami the lead guitarist are still in full on Maid Mode.
When the lead is playing a PRS through Mesa Boogie's and the rhythm's got a signature Zemaitis guitar and using EVH 5150's you know somethings going on.
good call on the day of the dead thing, the lead singer is wearing a spanish maid outfit and the bassist is wearing a chinese maid outfit, seems neither one preferred the frilly japanese outfits so they set their own style, but are still considered maids
The whole maid thing is meant to emphasize the idea of a "gap" between the style of dress and the hard rock sound. Whatever you do, don't get stuck on the cos factor, because Band-Maid is the real deal. The lead guitarist has played classical piano since age five, the drummer and bassist went to the Tokyo School of Music, the lead singer is IMO one of the best vocalists working today, and they have a master lyricist (although mostly in Japanese). They play a blend of musical styles whose core is hard rock. The songs are extremely well-composed, hook-driven, and consistently great. Also, like you said, everyone contributes: lines are weaving in and out from every instrument and voice. Often, it's a good idea to listen to a song more than once to hear each contribution to the whole. Enjoy the ride, and see you on the next one: maybe Warning (MV), Blooming (MV), Play (Live), Sense (MV), Black Hole (live). If you want to slow it down, try Daydreaming (MV).
Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 Band-Maid is one of the best rock bands we are proud of. We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". I believe the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Talking about hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since 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 sta
Hi Guys, Welcome to the wonderfull world of Band Maid, their music, charactors and their beautifull madiac fans. I'll leave the info for you to the 3000 views that you are going to get for this.
FROM JAPAN ◆ Thank you for your reaction to BAND-MAID. BAND-MAID is a real hard rock band. BAND-MAID is celebrating its 9th year of formation. BAND was formed by a girl who came to Tokyo from a local city Kumamoto of Japan to become a singer when she was about 19 years old. Five unique and talented girls gathered. The members have not changed, and they are continuing their efforts to improve their playing ability. They are constantly writing new songs and cool songs. Three new songs were released at the end of October. BAND-MAID is a hard rock band, but it's a very diverse band. Listen to different types of songs. 1 Thrill : The first music video that saved them from dissolution. Classic rock 2014 2 Sense : The theme song of the anime "Platinum End". Dramatic, fast hard rock with a classic intro. 2021.10 3 Bubble : A tribute to the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, funky rock 4 Different : First anime opening song, new sense of high-speed rock. Anime is "Log Horizon 3rd season". 2020.12 5 Daydreaming : Beautiful power ballad. Saiki and Kobato vocals and Kanami's guitar solo are wonderful. 6 Dice : Rhythmic hard rock singing women's independence. The girl blindfolded in the dark removes the blindfold at the end of the song and starts walking into the light. 7 about us : A gift for fans who cannot meet in a pandemic. Beautiful ballad. 2021.02 8 Freedom : A power rock that walks around the stage and conveys a smile. The transition from drum solo to lead guitar is the best. 9 Manners : Declaration to create new hard rock while inheriting classic rock. Cool hard rock. Rock'n'Roll never die. 10 alone : The song they wrote, composed and released for the first time. Medium speed Hard Rock 2016 11 Secret My Lips & Secret Maiko Lips : Funky Hard Rock. A gift for fans of April Fool's Day . 12 Blooming : Vocals and chorus are impressive, and various types of music are fused. 13 RINNE : High-speed rhythmic heavy rock, inspired by the Japanese horror movie "RINNE : Reincarnation". RINNE (Reincarnation) is also found in Eastern thought and Buddhist thought. 14 onset : Instrumental song for lead singer Saiki breaks, their great playing power and harmony. 15 Play : A song composed as an instrumental song, but Miku added lyrics as Saiki liked it. With different intros depending on the live. 16 Before Yesterday : Record of the first overseas performance, Sakura-Con in Seattle 2016. Melodic Rock with great lyrics. 17 Choose me : An insert song of the concert scene the Netflix movie KATE, they appeared as BAND MAID. Cool rock song. 18 Dragon Cries : The only song produced by Tony Visconti. It's not their lyrics, but it sings about the future of human society and the earth. Great Heavy Classic Rock . 19 After Life : A homage to the maid cafe and band formation where Kobato worked. BAND-MAID Hard Rock . 20 Corallium : The song that Saiki wrote all the lyrics for the first time. Hip pop style dancing hard rock. Added ★ Peace & Love ・ POGO : Founder Miku Kobato's solo project. Pigeon saves the world. Funky pop rock.
I don’t even care that I don’t know what they are singing. The vocals sound good and the music is fantastic. I suggest reacting to their live video for “Manners/Black Hole” for two very different but sides of them.
Welcome to the fandom. Good seeing so many new reactors finding Band Maid! I suggest the following Band Maid songs: Thrill, Dice, Manners, Bubble, No God (live) & Warning (live)

Saiki is like a dominatrix, she demands that the crowd respond to her commands. Saiki and MISA are the ones dressed in Gothic. Actually when the group began they all wore similar outfits, then as time went on Saiki and MISA turned Gothic on us. Most often MISA and Kanami are doing their solos at the same time. As usual Band-Maid is Jimmy Page approved!
They started the maid thing to differentiate themselves, like Slipknot's masks, and stuck with it. The point was create a contrast between look and sound to show that you shouldn't judge girls by how they look. After 10 years, I don't think they expect to get much of a reaction to their clothes. And many foreign bands throw some English lines into their songs. Students study English in a lot places so it connect them to the world. If you react to them again, you should comment on the music. Check out MVs for Warning, Sense, Rinne, or Blooming, and Official Live Videos for Manners/BLACK HOLE, Onset, or No God.
Welcome aboard, Justin & Camila. You are embarking on (along with many others - 140 million YT views!) 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 (118 songs with their latest album, “Unseen World” and new single drops), 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 later songs from albums Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Warning, No God, Different, Black Hole, Sense, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Don’t You Tell Me, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Glory, 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 and Black Hole… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts… or their many acoustic versions like Catharsis! And many songs are represented with over 40 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 Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA on February 14th “Domination” th-cam.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/w-d-xo.html ZEPP 2018 “Real Existence” th-cam.com/video/-qQnKILR5u0/w-d-xo.html Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 (The last two are on bandmaidprime.tokyo and DVD/BD/CD) And some of the better quality 2019 tour Fan vids are excellent. Here’s two of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at super intimate venues: Taken by Vladimir Chupin in Hamburg: th-cam.com/video/__1th7ctgMo/w-d-xo.html And by JOSER8845 in LA: th-cam.com/video/usWZvlGGDSs/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 28 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, 30 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, 30 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, 31 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, 29 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 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 Got your tickets yet? BAND-MAID's 8 state, 11 gig USA tour is SOLD OUT! HOWEVER, they just added two more venues in New Jersey Oct. 30 (4,000 seats), and Chicago, Nov. 1. And the "AFTERSHOCK FESTIVAL 2022" in Sacramento, California on Sunday, October 9 may still have tickets. Check Ticketmaster and Band-Maid’s website quickly!
Thank you for reacting to Band-Maid, the best hardrock band of all times. The way they blend styles within the framework of hardrock is truly original, they mix in everything from jazz to trash metal, and they can play any style with ease. Their catalog contains more than 110 songs. Their latest album is way more heavy then the ones before it, and their latest EP is drifting into prog metal territory. They will release a new EP this summer, and it may be even more prog metal from the few sneak peaks they have dropped. I love Band-Maid for their diversity of styles and for being such incredible musicians. Did you get MISA's swapping between using a pick and slapping the back on the pick again, there is no one else that does this to my knowledge. Keep reacting to Band-Maid, Maidiacs will approve and support your channel 🙂We the fans call ourselves for Maidiacs, Band-Maid call us Masters and Princesses, and their concerts are called Okyu-Ji which translates to servings (like in a restaurant), Miku used to work in a Maid Cafe before she formed Band-Maid.

Hey kids I have seen Led Zeppelin live and most of the greats since and now I have VIP tickets For Band Maid in Phoenix and I am just as excited as I was back then. These young ladies are the real deal and have a different something but it is great whatever that is!
Oh, you like bass? Guess you just found your new favorite bass player. MISA! MISA! MISA! Did you notice her switch from picking to slapping and back to picking without pausing? She tucks her pick in with her pointer finger and then slaps. She hasn't dropped a pick years. Check out 'No God', 'Dice', and 'Manners' & 'Black Hole' combo vid for more MISA. And for more great music in general. Cheers!
@@GaryHolloway-810 Good idea! I'll get me an apron. Wait, they don't sell aprons, do they? I guess they couldn't even get Saiki to design one, let alone wear one. ;-)
@@TehPhysics HAHA. Yeah & the Backstreet Guys should've stipulated that the merch they'll buy is for them, otherwise someone clever will come along & claim it. Namely you.😁
They are the #1 Japanese band in the world right now. Babymetal is on a hiatus for now. They have toured internationally since 2016 and will be touring the US in October with most venues already sold-out. FYI they refer to their costumes as their "battle armor"!! Japan is producing the best Rock/Metal bands and music in the world. There are 200+ rock/metal bands in Japan right with most all female or Female/Male.

Hey Justin and Camilla! First of all: Thanks for the content, I enjoy it a lot. Now, I'd like to suggest 'Onset' (Official Live Video), it's an instrumental piece and it's something they liked to play during rehearsals, just jamming, and turned it into a song. I like it a lot and I wonder if you'll like it too. And for another suggestion/request: for your next Jinjer reaction, can you pick something from their live show in Melbourne (JINJER - Alive In Melbourne - Official Full Concert | Napalm Records)? The mixing is excellent and it seems to me it's one of those nights where all the pieces fall into place (and all the songs have timestamps/'chapters', so easy to pick one). Thanks again, keep it up and have a good one!
Curtis are you still really busy or have you just not been commenting as much? The Backstreet Gents band competition final between B-M & VOB is sometime today. Most likes win. Maidiacs assemble.😁👍
@@GaryHolloway-810 yeah really busy organizing events to do for 501st peeps in my Detachment for the Star Wars Celebration convention coming up in 10 days over here in Anaheim. 501st members from all over the world are attending this Convention and I have been planning activities to do during the Con and after hours. It's keeping me busy. But I will get to meet many people I'm friends with for the 1st time 🙂 and new Star Wars nerds too🤙🏼
@@GaryHolloway-810 part of the problem of my silence is that many reactors have covering Band-Maid songs that are not my jam so there is nothing for me to say 🤙🏼
Misa, the bassist, is also know as the Barefoot Assassin. Two reasons: She murders the bass, & secondly, she refers to her maids dress as the 'Assassins Tunic'. If you really want to see her shine, have a look at the 'Manners/Black Hole' live video. A two for one clip. It's on their website. The woman owns both songs. Oh! if you didn't know, the 'barefoot' reference comes from the fact that she plays all their shows in bare feet. You see them in different clips from time to time.
YAY BAND-MAID! I love these girls so much! Greetings from a BAND-MAIDIAC from Germany There isn't a single song that has disappointed me. Choose what ever you want from them. Best next would be "BAND-MAID / FREEDOM (Official Live Video)" : th-cam.com/video/FHpuEqMAcDg/w-d-xo.html Guaranteed mind blown live performance inclusive eargasm
Yeah, Band maid is tops and Misa kills it every time. If you want to hear bass slapping throughout the songs check out Gacharic Spin and their bassist F Chopper Koga. Their songs: MindSet, Redline, Tamashii ( two videos one with them playing toy instruments), Stay Gold. Everybody shines in the newest lineup. Different feel from BM -- wilder energy -- but like them and Lovebites, GS members definitely know what they're doing.
Welcome to the Pigeon hole 🕳!! I know of no better hard rock band on planet earth 🌍 today. Next - try - “Dice” - official MV - “Onset” - official live video - “Freedom” - official live video - “Manners / Black Hole - official live video - “Warning” - official MV - “After-Life” - official MV - “No God” - official live video And dozens more killer songs…
They were making faces at the drummer trying to throw her off. They never get her. The singer tried to get the drummer on her own in another video and the drummer made her laugh in the middle of a verse. Don't let the maid thing throw you. Their costumes may be a gimmick, but their talent is not.
Welcome to the Maidiacs! Believe it or not, that's just the tip of the huge iceberg of musical greatness from this incredible group of ladies and the more you hear from them, the more you'll love 'em! Some suggestions: Live: Freedom, Play, Don't You Tell Me MV: Daydreaming, Blooming, Secret Maiko Lips (Alter Ego - Band Maiko) Thanks! 🤘🤩🤘
Believe us Justin. You will be doing yourself a disservice if you focus on the outfits. Once you get into their amazing music the outfits will disappear (figuratively). Just know that BAND-MAID is an Awesome Rock band. Peace. 3.85
Welcome to the wonderful world of Band-maid. You just found one of the best rock bands in the world today! Others songs you should check out are Different, Choose Me, Dice, Freedom (live), Manners, After Life or Warning! Many Japanese band and artists including English within their songs. Have you ever react to the Japanese band name Scandal? I can give you some suggestions and links for Scandal songs. Also check out Lovebites and Babymetal too.
I'll join the choir. Best rock band today. Best "live". Been listening to all kinds of music since rock n roll started & the maids are as good as anybody i've heard. If u havent, check out the future of rock, The Warning. Start with their latest, "money" official performance video. Their fan base will fill u in about the band & song recommendations. Thnx.
I really like this band and another all female Japanese band Lovebites. I think they should drop the maid outfits though. That have an Acoustic set that was very good and they did not have the maid outfits. The official video from that is down now so you won't be able to find it. I paid to see the entire concert, which was only available for a few months.
Love watching your Jinjer videos as they are my favorite band. Right behind them are a pack of classic metal bands (Maiden etc) and loads of Japanese metal bands. Many of those J-Metal bands are all female or have female members. I highly suggest Nemophilia (2nd fav band), Maximym the Hormone, Unlucky Morpheus, Lovebites and of course more Band Maid.
Band Maid Info Dump 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 contacted 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 literally walked over to Akane's apartment and asked her. 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. Now we have the "Core" members. I'm not too sure about the part but if I am wrong other Maidiacs will correct me in the comments. The 4 members worked out some songs and a setlist and from my understanding, they had actually performed 2 or 3 times with just Miku on main vocals. I may be wrong on that so don't take that as canon. 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. 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. (I'm not sure about this part as I can't find the comment I read over on Reddit) She had been a member of a group with 8 other people 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 Clothes", and she never met Miku until a few days before they had a contracted performance. She wasn't told about the "Maid Outfits" until I believe it was 2 days before the performance, and she had considered backing out, but she had signed the contract. 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 only 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. This became the seminal moment of Band Maid. Because their second album hadn't even charted, 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). 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. The following info is from a comment left by TH-cam user @DanW60 Thrill was from their album New Beginning which was released in November, 2015. They didn't write any of the songs or lyrics on the album and it was only 33 minutes. As mentioned, Miku didn't even know how to play guitar at the time. The album went nowhere in Japan and their small label called Gump was about to drop them. Gump's plan was to keep Miku and Saiki as a singing and dancing duo and let the rest go. Then a miracle happened. The music video for Thrill became a huge hit on TH-cam, especially in the west. Band-Maid was saved and they changed labels to Crown Stones (a sub-label to a really big Japanese media company called Nippon Crown). Their 2016 album, Brand New maid, peaked at #19 on the Japanese charts but only one song was written by Kanami and it was only 31 minutes in length. Finally, in January 2017, they released the album Just Bring It which was a full album at 50 minutes. More importantly, 9 of the 13 songs were written by Kanami. In my opinion, it was the first true Band-Maid album. The album got as high as #16 in Japan and also charted in the UK. The next 3 albums - World Domination, Conqueror and Unseen World - all charted top 10 in Japan and charted overseas. All the songs were written by Kanami. She is the one that has pushed Misa and Akane to be as good as they are now, and also very successfully taught Miku to play guitar.
The best rock band with the most songs. For something heavier but just as good try NEMOPHILA they will rock your world and they do a lot of covers so you can listen to one of the covers then react to one of their own songs. Try REVIVE.
@@GaryHolloway-810 they are still the best but NEMOPHILA are pretty good and satisfy my need for heavier music. I don't know if they were real but I saw some of your artwork on coffee cups on Mr Bs channel recently.
@@stephenchigwidden7504 Nemophila are good, just a different genre. Yeah they are real, Mr B got them made but my designs were really for T-shirts instead of cups :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 it would be good if you could get permission to sell some. People are starting to recognise your art. My X brother in law is an artist his name is Richard Maurovich. He and my sister still run their little art company together maybe you should send them something.
The idea was to take demure Japanese women wearing maid outfits and knocking you on your ass with their rock proficiency. You need to check out some of their other TH-cam videos and focus on the music, not their outfits. One of the best official live videos is "Manners/Black Hole. You'll see their versatility as musicians.
Well, they gather in front of the drummer and make faces at her trying to get her to laugh and lose the beat...they have not succeeded yet because she's too good...lol Sometimes you'll catch her making faces back at them...
Everybody loves it because they're dressed like maids maid over there is a waitress look at the singer dress beautiful black don't say anything bad about the girl metal bands from Japan they devoted their life to American music and better than the stuff we have over here don't just listen to one song and decide if you like them or not but don't say anything bad about them
So they were rocking and shredding badass , singing bad ass. But the maid uniform made you ignore all that. Got it. Probably is the reason this band is not on a bigger stage. People gets to caught up with the visuals. Sad
These girls rip. Check out the videos to Blooming, Manners, or the live videos to Freedom, about us, Play, Moratorium. That is just the tip of an amazing iceberg of music. Not to many bands out there better.

You are fortunate enough to meet BAND-MAID. congratulations!
You can see what that means right away.
This band is legit and their catalog is tremendous. One of my favorite bands in decades.
Welcome to the best hard rock band on the planet!
Best rock band on the planet. You haven't heard anything yet. Don't get hung up on the look, it's"the gap". How they look vs. what they play.
All these girls have so much talent. Misa the bass player, in my opinion, is the best I’ve ever seen. At 65 years I’ve seen many. The drummer rocks and the lead guitarist rips that guitar to shreds. They all have so much talent!
Band-Maid is one of the best hard rock bands in the world ! Don't let the costumes fool you these ladies are all seasoned musicians ! They will be touring the US this fall and all the shows are sold out =( Check out "Play" Live "Real Existence" Live or their "Blooming MV ! They use to wear the same costumes at first , now they design their own costumes ! Thanks Y'all / New Subscriber btw the bass player is MISA MISA MISA ( The Barefoot Assassin )
This is our Reaction to BAND MAID Blooming out today!! --> th-cam.com/video/1Ry-q3fIyD4/w-d-xo.html
Miku (rhythm guitar, vocals and lyrics) who started the band came up with the idea when she was working in a maid cafe, the contrast (gap) between a hard rock band dressed as maids. Long story short, Saiki (vocals) and Misa (bass) were not entirely onboard (understatement) with dressing as maids so they developed their costumes into Spanish Maid and Croatian/ Chinese Maid ( yeah right). The result is that their costumes now are a fair reflection of their personalities although whilst Misa loooks badass and scary (nickname The Barefoot Assassin), truth be told she is extremely shy and wouldn't say boo to a goose.
The 'Croatian' maid thing was translation error in an interview. The correct translation was 'assassin'. But yeah Saiki's dress is Spanish maid inspired while MISA's s Chinese.
@@Davey-Boyd I always thought croation was a bit odd, thanks for the clarification.
@@edwardallen4051 Yeah Ed, it got me for a while until I saw the corrected version of the interview!
@@Davey-Boyd Exactly. The original translator mistook 殺し屋/Koroshiya (Killer, or Assassin) with クロアチ/Kuroachia (Croatian).
Those two words sound similar in Japanese, and the person translating an early TV interview with BAND-MAID mistranslated that spoken word.
Don't scare geese for they are vengeful, evil things lol.
Full English is bacon, sausage, eggs, baked beans, black pudding, mushrooms and a fried slice. Band Maid however are the real deal; best rock band for years.
They were playing hengao with the the drummer, Akane to try and put her off . It never works lol. You ain't seen nothing yet, rock ballads through to hard rock bordering on metal, jazz, blues, punk and acoustic versions of their songs that can make you cry. Oh and sometimes they can be just plain crazy, all the while sounding like Band Maid. prediction - you are going to fall in love with Misa, the barefoot assassin on bass.
Here we come! Best Hard Rock band in the world today, Po! Down the Pigeon hole we go.
Thank you for reacting to Band-Maid.
Band-Maid are the best in nowadays music. Thx 👍💪
Welcome to Band-Maid!
Band-Maid has toured in the US before; they'll be back in October. They are the real deal! FYI: their recent videos have English CCs.
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.”
Interviewer: Maid outfits aren’t exactly rock ‘n’ roll. What is your ultimate heavy metal costume?
“Now Band-Maid’s outfits are part of rock n roll, so we pick these!”
The name 'Domination' is about dominating the world with their "service" which is what they call a concert. They gather around the drummer, Akan. and make funny faces at her to make her laugh and see if she screws up the hard part. It's a common thing in Japan called, hengao 変顔 へんがお means “strange face”. MISA the Barefoot Assassin was the first to ditch the apron. She wears all black, and as the "Cool Asian Beauty", opted for a Traditional Chinese Cheongsam dress. Saiki, The Queen, was next. She still has elements of Maid in her costume but more subdued than the others. The Darkness Sisters give them their edge. Akane switched to shorts rather than a skirt. It' just more practical when drumming, like losing the tiny hat. Miku the founder and Kanami the lead guitarist are still in full on Maid Mode.
Nice reaction. Looking forward to more Band maid.
Band-Maid is a REALLY GREAT rock group. Great musicians, great vocals. They just need more play in the States.
When the lead is playing a PRS through Mesa Boogie's and the rhythm's got a signature Zemaitis guitar and using EVH 5150's you know somethings going on.
They surround the drummer and makes funny faces to her to try and get her to mess up. They have so much fun together.
Thank you!
good call on the day of the dead thing, the lead singer is wearing a spanish maid outfit and the bassist is wearing a chinese maid outfit, seems neither one preferred the frilly japanese outfits so they set their own style, but are still considered maids
The whole maid thing is meant to emphasize the idea of a "gap" between the style of dress and the hard rock sound. Whatever you do, don't get stuck on the cos factor, because Band-Maid is the real deal. The lead guitarist has played classical piano since age five, the drummer and bassist went to the Tokyo School of Music, the lead singer is IMO one of the best vocalists working today, and they have a master lyricist (although mostly in Japanese). They play a blend of musical styles whose core is hard rock. The songs are extremely well-composed, hook-driven, and consistently great. Also, like you said, everyone contributes: lines are weaving in and out from every instrument and voice. Often, it's a good idea to listen to a song more than once to hear each contribution to the whole. Enjoy the ride, and see you on the next one: maybe Warning (MV), Blooming (MV), Play (Live), Sense (MV), Black Hole (live). If you want to slow it down, try Daydreaming (MV).

Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 Band-Maid is one of the best rock bands we are proud of. We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". I believe the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Talking about hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since 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 sta
Hi Guys, Welcome to the wonderfull world of Band Maid, their music, charactors and their beautifull madiac fans. I'll leave the info for you to the 3000 views that you are going to get for this.
FROM JAPAN ◆ Thank you for your reaction to BAND-MAID. BAND-MAID is a real hard rock band.
BAND-MAID is celebrating its 9th year of formation. BAND was formed by a girl who came to Tokyo from a local city Kumamoto of Japan to become a singer when she was about 19 years old. Five unique and talented girls gathered. The members have not changed, and they are continuing their efforts to improve their playing ability. They are constantly writing new songs and cool songs. Three new songs were released at the end of October.
BAND-MAID is a hard rock band, but it's a very diverse band. Listen to different types of songs.
1 Thrill : The first music video that saved them from dissolution. Classic rock 2014
2 Sense : The theme song of the anime "Platinum End". Dramatic, fast hard rock with a classic intro. 2021.10
3 Bubble : A tribute to the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, funky rock
4 Different : First anime opening song, new sense of high-speed rock. Anime is "Log Horizon 3rd season". 2020.12

7 about us : A gift for fans who cannot meet in a pandemic. Beautiful ballad. 2021.02
8 Freedom : A power rock that walks around the stage and conveys a smile.
The transition from drum solo to lead guitar is the best.

RINNE (Reincarnation) is also found in Eastern thought and Buddhist thought.
14 onset : Instrumental song for lead singer Saiki breaks, their great playing power and harmony.
15 Play : A song composed as an instrumental song, but Miku added lyrics as Saiki liked it. With different intros depending on the live.

Meet the maids of Band Maid, they don't just serve, they Dominate,
They have maids, lazers and believe me, fire,
If you love MISA on the bass don't miss their live video "Maners & Blackhole".
Most of their 2022 tour shows are sold out, I get to see them in Seattle 10/12/22
Be very careful, Maids with lasers are addictive. Soon, you won't even notice the maid outfits, you'll only see the light. Thanks guys! 🕊
Saiki is like a dominatrix, she demands that the crowd respond to her commands. Saiki and MISA are the ones dressed in Gothic. Actually when the group began they all wore similar outfits, then as time went on Saiki and MISA turned Gothic on us. Most often MISA and Kanami are doing their solos at the same time. As usual Band-Maid is Jimmy Page approved!
3:33 a classic.. a bassist player meeting for first time one the best bass players nowadays.. never dissapointing
They started the maid thing to differentiate themselves, like Slipknot's masks, and stuck with it. The point was create a contrast between look and sound to show that you shouldn't judge girls by how they look. After 10 years, I don't think they expect to get much of a reaction to their clothes. And many foreign bands throw some English lines into their songs. Students study English in a lot places so it connect them to the world. If you react to them again, you should comment on the music. Check out MVs for Warning, Sense, Rinne, or Blooming, and Official Live Videos for Manners/BLACK HOLE, Onset, or No God.
English also flows better in some lyrical phrasing

Welcome aboard, Justin & Camila. You are embarking on (along with many others - 140 million YT views!) 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 (118 songs with their latest album, “Unseen World” and new single drops), 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 later songs from albums Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Warning, No God, Different, Black Hole, Sense, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Don’t You Tell Me, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Glory, 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 and Black Hole… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts… or their many acoustic versions like Catharsis!
And many songs are represented with over 40 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
Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA on February 14th “Domination” th-cam.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/w-d-xo.html
ZEPP 2018 “Real Existence” th-cam.com/video/-qQnKILR5u0/w-d-xo.html
Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 (The last two are on bandmaidprime.tokyo and DVD/BD/CD)
And some of the better quality 2019 tour Fan vids are excellent. Here’s two of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at super intimate venues:
Taken by Vladimir Chupin in Hamburg: th-cam.com/video/__1th7ctgMo/w-d-xo.html
And by JOSER8845 in LA: th-cam.com/video/usWZvlGGDSs/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 28 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, 30 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, 30 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, 31 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, 29 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 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
Got your tickets yet? BAND-MAID's 8 state, 11 gig USA tour is SOLD OUT! HOWEVER, they just added two more venues in New Jersey Oct. 30 (4,000 seats), and Chicago, Nov. 1. And the "AFTERSHOCK FESTIVAL 2022" in Sacramento, California on Sunday, October 9 may still have tickets. Check Ticketmaster and Band-Maid’s website quickly!

Thank you for reacting to Band-Maid, the best hardrock band of all times. The way they blend styles within the framework of hardrock is truly original, they mix in everything from jazz to trash metal, and they can play any style with ease. Their catalog contains more than 110 songs. Their latest album is way more heavy then the ones before it, and their latest EP is drifting into prog metal territory. They will release a new EP this summer, and it may be even more prog metal from the few sneak peaks they have dropped. I love Band-Maid for their diversity of styles and for being such incredible musicians. Did you get MISA's swapping between using a pick and slapping the back on the pick again, there is no one else that does this to my knowledge. Keep reacting to Band-Maid, Maidiacs will approve and support your channel 🙂We the fans call ourselves for Maidiacs, Band-Maid call us Masters and Princesses, and their concerts are called Okyu-Ji which translates to servings (like in a restaurant), Miku used to work in a Maid Cafe before she formed Band-Maid.

They were making faces at the drummer, Akane. They do that to try and make her mess up but she never does.
You'll be in BASS HEAVEN with this band. MISA MISA MISA!!! 💪🎸🤟🤟
Wow, my left eye twitched when I heard kpop
Hey kids I have seen Led Zeppelin live and most of the greats since and now I have VIP tickets For Band Maid in Phoenix and I am just as excited as I was back then. These young ladies are the real deal and have a different something but it is great whatever that is!
Oh, you like bass? Guess you just found your new favorite bass player. MISA! MISA! MISA!
Did you notice her switch from picking to slapping and back to picking without pausing? She tucks her pick in with her pointer finger and then slaps. She hasn't dropped a pick years. Check out 'No God', 'Dice', and 'Manners' & 'Black Hole' combo vid for more MISA. And for more great music in general. Cheers!
Quickly. Ask them to buy & send you some B-M merch.😆
@@GaryHolloway-810 Good idea! I'll get me an apron. Wait, they don't sell aprons, do they? I guess they couldn't even get Saiki to design one, let alone wear one. ;-)
@@TehPhysics HAHA. Yeah & the Backstreet Guys should've stipulated that the merch they'll buy is for them, otherwise someone clever will come along & claim it. Namely you.😁
They are the #1 Japanese band in the world right now. Babymetal is on a hiatus for now. They have toured internationally since 2016 and will be touring the US in October with most venues already sold-out. FYI they refer to their costumes as their "battle armor"!!
Japan is producing the best Rock/Metal bands and music in the world. There are 200+ rock/metal bands in Japan right with most all female or Female/Male.

Hey Justin and Camilla! First of all: Thanks for the content, I enjoy it a lot. Now, I'd like to suggest 'Onset' (Official Live Video), it's an instrumental piece and it's something they liked to play during rehearsals, just jamming, and turned it into a song. I like it a lot and I wonder if you'll like it too. And for another suggestion/request: for your next Jinjer reaction, can you pick something from their live show in Melbourne (JINJER - Alive In Melbourne - Official Full Concert | Napalm Records)? The mixing is excellent and it seems to me it's one of those nights where all the pieces fall into place (and all the songs have timestamps/'chapters', so easy to pick one). Thanks again, keep it up and have a good one!
MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃Badass Bass Assassin. Band-Maid are the best Hard Rock band in the world right now.
Curtis are you still really busy or have you just not been commenting as much? The Backstreet Gents band competition final between B-M & VOB is sometime today. Most likes win. Maidiacs assemble.😁👍
@@GaryHolloway-810 yeah really busy organizing events to do for 501st peeps in my Detachment for the Star Wars Celebration convention coming up in 10 days over here in Anaheim. 501st members from all over the world are attending this Convention and I have been planning activities to do during the Con and after hours. It's keeping me busy. But I will get to meet many people I'm friends with for the 1st time 🙂 and new Star Wars nerds too🤙🏼
@@GaryHolloway-810 there is a competition??
@@GaryHolloway-810 I still haven't come across that mention of my name you stated a few weeks ago 🙂
@@GaryHolloway-810 part of the problem of my silence is that many reactors have covering Band-Maid songs that are not my jam so there is nothing for me to say 🤙🏼
Misa, the bassist, is also know as the Barefoot Assassin. Two reasons: She murders the bass, & secondly, she refers to her maids dress as the 'Assassins Tunic'.
If you really want to see her shine, have a look at the 'Manners/Black Hole' live video. A two for one clip. It's on their website. The woman owns both songs.
Oh! if you didn't know, the 'barefoot' reference comes from the fact that she plays all their shows in bare feet. You see them in different clips from time to time.
Here is our UNBOXING BAND-MAID Outfit Costume & SNEEK PEAK video out today!! --> th-cam.com/video/gD4_YdUcM0g/w-d-xo.html
Love this band & if you watch / listen, to more of their songs, you will too !!! ❤🎙🎸🥁😎👌 Try, " Onset or Play, " live.
They gather around Akane the drummer and make faces to break her concentration.
These girls are the real deal. All outstanding players, killer vocals. If you want your face ripped off try Real Existence live.
Best band in the world 🤘🎎🤘🎎
Welcome to the world of BAND-MAID
YAY BAND-MAID! I love these girls so much!
Greetings from a BAND-MAIDIAC from Germany
There isn't a single song that has disappointed me. Choose what ever you want from them.
Best next would be "BAND-MAID / FREEDOM (Official Live Video)" : th-cam.com/video/FHpuEqMAcDg/w-d-xo.html
Guaranteed mind blown live performance inclusive eargasm
Yeah, Band maid is tops and Misa kills it every time. If you want to hear bass slapping throughout the songs check out Gacharic Spin and their bassist F Chopper Koga. Their songs: MindSet, Redline, Tamashii ( two videos one with them playing toy instruments), Stay Gold. Everybody shines in the newest lineup. Different feel from BM -- wilder energy -- but like them and Lovebites, GS members definitely know what they're doing.
Welcome to the Pigeon hole 🕳!! I know of no better hard rock band on planet earth 🌍 today.
Next - try
- “Dice” - official MV
- “Onset” - official live video
- “Freedom” - official live video
- “Manners / Black Hole - official live video
- “Warning” - official MV
- “After-Life” - official MV
- “No God” - official live video
And dozens more killer songs…
They were making faces at the drummer trying to throw her off. They never get her. The singer tried to get the drummer on her own in another video and the drummer made her laugh in the middle of a verse. Don't let the maid thing throw you. Their costumes may be a gimmick, but their talent is not.
I love K pop, but this is pure hard rock, the one I grew up with in the 70s. Next could be Daydreaming or Blooming.

All of them are very good but I like the drummer and the bass player the most.
Believe us Justin. You will be doing yourself a disservice if you focus on the outfits. Once you get into their amazing music the outfits will disappear (figuratively). Just know that BAND-MAID is an Awesome Rock band. Peace. 3.85
Honestly jk, from day 1 i never noticed the outfits (never have), it was the music that hit me straight away :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 Ain't it the truth. Their music is consistently outstanding and awesome. 😲 (But I do love when Mincho sways)
Welcome to the wonderful world of Band-maid. You just found one of the best rock bands in the world today!
Others songs you should check out are Different, Choose Me, Dice, Freedom (live), Manners, After Life or Warning!
Many Japanese band and artists including English within their songs.
Have you ever react to the Japanese band name Scandal? I can give you some suggestions and links for Scandal songs.
Also check out Lovebites and Babymetal too.

💕🖤💕🖤💕
No "brief huddle" - they are pulling faces at the drummer, who pulls faces back at them.
If you react to any more _Band Maid,_ most of their videos have English subtitles....so it pays to check...just sayin'.
I'll join the choir. Best rock band today. Best "live". Been listening to all kinds of music since rock n roll started & the maids are as good as anybody i've heard.
If u havent, check out the future of rock, The Warning. Start with their latest, "money" official performance video. Their fan base will fill u in about the band & song recommendations. Thnx.
Here is our Reaction to BAND MAID Warning out today!! --> th-cam.com/video/qOhuQYE8hDo/w-d-xo.html
I really like this band and another all female Japanese band Lovebites. I think they should drop the maid outfits though. That have an Acoustic set that was very good and they did not have the maid outfits. The official video from that is down now so you won't be able to find it. I paid to see the entire concert, which was only available for a few months.
You have to try some other song from band maid they are phenomenal
Love watching your Jinjer videos as they are my favorite band. Right behind them are a pack of classic metal bands (Maiden etc) and loads of Japanese metal bands. Many of those J-Metal bands are all female or have female members. I highly suggest Nemophilia (2nd fav band), Maximym the Hormone, Unlucky Morpheus, Lovebites and of course more Band Maid.
Band Maid Info Dump
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 contacted 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 literally walked over to Akane's apartment and asked her. 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.
Now we have the "Core" members. I'm not too sure about the part but if I am wrong other Maidiacs will correct me in the comments. The 4 members worked out some songs and a setlist and from my understanding, they had actually performed 2 or 3 times with just Miku on main vocals. I may be wrong on that so don't take that as canon. 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.
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. (I'm not sure about this part as I can't find the comment I read over on Reddit) She had been a member of a group with 8 other people 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 Clothes", and she never met Miku until a few days before they had a contracted performance. She wasn't told about the "Maid Outfits" until I believe it was 2 days before the performance, and she had considered backing out, but she had signed the contract.
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 only 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.
This became the seminal moment of Band Maid. Because their second album hadn't even charted, 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). 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.
The following info is from a comment left by TH-cam user @DanW60
Thrill was from their album New Beginning which was released in November, 2015. They didn't write any of the songs or lyrics on the album and it was only 33 minutes. As mentioned, Miku didn't even know how to play guitar at the time. The album went nowhere in Japan and their small label called Gump was about to drop them. Gump's plan was to keep Miku and Saiki as a singing and dancing duo and let the rest go. Then a miracle happened. The music video for Thrill became a huge hit on TH-cam, especially in the west. Band-Maid was saved and they changed labels to Crown Stones (a sub-label to a really big Japanese media company called Nippon Crown). Their 2016 album, Brand New maid, peaked at #19 on the Japanese charts but only one song was written by Kanami and it was only 31 minutes in length. Finally, in January 2017, they released the album Just Bring It which was a full album at 50 minutes. More importantly, 9 of the 13 songs were written by Kanami. In my opinion, it was the first true Band-Maid album. The album got as high as #16 in Japan and also charted in the UK. The next 3 albums - World Domination, Conqueror and Unseen World - all charted top 10 in Japan and charted overseas. All the songs were written by Kanami. She is the one that has pushed Misa and Akane to be as good as they are now, and also very successfully taught Miku to play guitar.

The best rock band with the most songs. For something heavier but just as good try NEMOPHILA they will rock your world and they do a lot of covers so you can listen to one of the covers then react to one of their own songs. Try REVIVE.
💯% correct 🤙🏼
Sorai Stephen, Oiran here to give you a like. Mayu be blessed but B-M are still the best.🙂
@@GaryHolloway-810 they are still the best but NEMOPHILA are pretty good and satisfy my need for heavier music. I don't know if they were real but I saw some of your artwork on coffee cups on Mr Bs channel recently.
@@stephenchigwidden7504 Nemophila are good, just a different genre. Yeah they are real, Mr B got them made but my designs were really for T-shirts instead of cups :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 it would be good if you could get permission to sell some. People are starting to recognise your art. My X brother in law is an artist his name is Richard Maurovich. He and my sister still run their little art company together maybe you should send them something.

Thats our maid skipping house cleaning again..
The idea was to take demure Japanese women wearing maid outfits and knocking you on your ass with their rock proficiency. You need to check out some of their other TH-cam videos and focus on the music, not their outfits. One of the best official live videos is "Manners/Black Hole. You'll see their versatility as musicians.
Well, they gather in front of the drummer and make faces at her trying to get her to laugh and lose the beat...they have not succeeded yet because she's too good...lol Sometimes you'll catch her making faces back at them...
Warning,,, listen to that new song
Check out LOVEBITES Frozen serenade or edge of the world hope you like fast stuff Winds of Transylvania
No K-pop here. This is J-rock, and tons of talent
Is this a reaction of fashion and laser?
Everybody loves it because they're dressed like maids maid over there is a waitress look at the singer dress beautiful black don't say anything bad about the girl metal bands from Japan they devoted their life to American music and better than the stuff we have over here don't just listen to one song and decide if you like them or not but don't say anything bad about them
So they were rocking and shredding badass , singing bad ass. But the maid uniform made you ignore all that. Got it. Probably is the reason this band is not on a bigger stage. People gets to caught up with the visuals. Sad

Is this some K-pop thing?
*Crack open beer*
That, my dear, is J-Rock. Way different from K-Pop.
"is this like some kind of K-Pop thing?" lol Oh Hell No!!!
These girls rip. Check out the videos to Blooming, Manners, or the live videos to Freedom, about us, Play, Moratorium. That is just the tip of an amazing iceberg of music. Not to many bands out there better.
