I’m late to this, but thanks for this reaction. I only know at least 10 words in Japanese but hearing Puzzle and Anemone made me tear up, these ladies vocals just tugged at my heartstrings. They just convey so much emotion and passion to this song that it transcends language barriers.
This proves that great music is multi lingual, while most of us non Japanese people listening cant understand the words we understand good music, good artists and Saiki has such a beautiful voice that is shown here a lot more than when she singing to heavy rock music in the live shows. Kanami is such a gifted artist, I could fall asleep to the acoustics she plays, in a good way of course, I was captivated by this version of "Puzzle" simply beautiful.
Conversation 8:25 K&S: Thank you. 8:31 K: We've performed Acoustic song in Nagoya, Osaka. S:Yes. 8:36 K: But we didn't played this song (Puzzle) that two shows, So we decided to play this song! 8:46 K:Yes, we've received message from master&princess(fan's name) to play Acoustic. and then, Sai-chan (Saiki's nickname) said "Let's play." So we're performing today! 9:02 One of the fan: You're glad, aren't you? 9:03 S: (Repeat what he said) K:Yes. 9:07 K: I really love Saiki. I'm glad to play with.... 9:14 S: You don't need to mention that. 9:18 K:Anyway, all the seats are sold out today. Thank you. 9:26 K:Really, I think many people have made what we are today. I'm glad. 9:32 S: Okay, let's play next song. K:Yes. 9:39 S: Please listen one more acoustic song.
For five young women of such exceptional talent to come together seemingly by coincidence is beyond remarkable. That they should bind together without ego dramas is equally rare. The result without doubt is the very very best rock band on the planet and these acoustic versions prove that their talent goes way beyond rock.

The studio versions of these two acoustic songs sound great, but they're missing the sweet harmonies from Kanami. Part of their converation was about Kanami being thrilled to do this duet with Saiki, who she loves, and Saiki is saying something along the lines of "let's not talk about that", and "let's get on with the song".
I was very moved by this performance. Also, I enjoyed watching you doing this reaction. You were so still and attentive. With that you showed a great respect to what these wonderful ladies are doing. That showed your own beauty.
A nice acoustic set. I do think Miku's voice harmonizes better with Saiki on "Puzzle". Anemone is very nicely done. Kanami and Akane were in an "idol" type band before joining Miku in Band Maid. Kanami has a nice voice too. Saiki is an amazing talent, as she has such a big voice.
I really loved them doing the songs acoustically. They were fantastic! I did not understand what they were saying, but in the second song there was so much emotion their voices! John thanks for sharing these songs.................. :-)
At the last Saiki was telling Kanami to shut up and start playing the guitar. Kanami was gushing over her crush, Saiki and Saiki was telling her to get on with it.
Hi, John. I've been enjoying your reaction on Band-Maid a lot. Here's tip about the pronunciation of Saiki. You prononuce Sa-ki in two syllable, but it should be done in three syllable, like Sa-i-ki. I'm japanese. Happy Birthday, John.
This was a pretty great performance. I enjoyed your reaction. These women can do it all. They really are an amazing band! Sorry I missed your stream, was working. But, I wanted to wish you a very happy Birthday!!! And by the way, your mic was cutting out quite a bit during this reaction. No biggie, it wasn't too much of a distraction. But just in case you didn't know, I thought I would mention it. The acoustic version of Thrill is pretty cool if you get the chance!
You seems to be blown away by these beautiful acoustics by BM, Shadow John. Everything was so perfect, I also lost for word here.... Stay home everyone, stay healthy and stay safe....peace !
Glad you enjoy this different side of them, I love it as well! :) Is it possible for you to upload the stream so those of us who missed it (like me because of work) can still watch it? That would be great! Also check out their acoustic version of "Thrill" :D
Hola Shadow John como estas amigo , excelente como siempre Band Maid estos temas son geniales , se puede apreciar la bellísima voz de Saiki , te felicito como siempre por tu canal abrazo grande de Argentina ✌ Bay Bay Kurupooo 💕
Please do not use the tsunami. In Japan, a tsunami is a bad image. The tsunami killed tens of thousands of people on March 11, 2011. Kanami is not happy to be said to be a tsunami. The meaning of kanami is as follows. 歌波 = kanami 歌 = ka = song 波 = nami = wave She is delighted to be called typeface mincho. She is called kanamincho or mincho from members and fans. docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/font-list/ms-mincho I am sorry because it is a Google translation.
Saiki's performance here has some strange power to summon the onion ninjas.. every dang time. Kanami's such a badass.. then you hear her speak :P th-cam.com/video/uh0JDdCgZcs/w-d-xo.html studio version of Anemone is also great.. MISA with some slick lines ala Awkward. audio only. (some of your commentary was getting cut off.. noise gate/activation level on the mic might be a bit high)
John, your audio is diving periodically...do you have a limiter in your audio chain. The effect is a word disappearing every couple of seconds...rather disconcerting.
Kanami - NOT tsunamis - big difference - show respect Shadow John. - would I call you " dark juan " no - that would be disrespectful- please - Kanami is one of the best and please do not confuse her name with Tsunami. Tsunamis have a bad conatation with the Japanese

Saiki's voice is mesmerizing and Kanami's playing and vocal harmonies are phenomenal. This was a real treat for the senses.
Not only an amazing performance vocally by the lead singer. But haunting backing vocals from Kanami ! Just an incredible band !
The cutest and sweetest guitar player ever

Thanks @osierpe !
I went searching for this translation and couldn't find it.
Thank you
This touches ones heart. Saiki can convey so much emotion.
Now you understand, Shadow John. Band Maid is your potion.💪🏻🤘🏻

Thanks Rick, I only had a vague idea about Kanami enjoying the opportunity to be with Saiki.
Kanami has always been in love/adored Saiki...and I think it's wonderful!
Every superlative has been rendered. These guys are absolutely outstanding. The acoustic version gives the song an entirely different point of view.
One of my fav videos by band maid. Love it! Awesome, emotional, performance.
微笑みながら優しくビデオを見ている貴方。
最高のreactionです。
These acoustic sets are some of the few places where you can actually hear Kanami singing since she does background singing with Saiki.
I was very moved by this performance. Also, I enjoyed watching you doing this reaction. You were so still and attentive. With that you showed a great respect to what these wonderful ladies are doing. That showed your own beauty.
That acoustic sounds great.
Oh yes you should see them live! November last year i was standing right in front of Saichan and Mincho! In my head im still standing there!!!
The Ice Princess and the Tranquil breeze
That was an inspirational moment in time 🙏
A nice acoustic set. I do think Miku's voice harmonizes better with Saiki on "Puzzle". Anemone is very nicely done. Kanami and Akane were in an "idol" type band before joining Miku in Band Maid. Kanami has a nice voice too. Saiki is an amazing talent, as she has such a big voice.

@Ann Waychoff I remembered it vaguely, but @osierpe has a translation of their conversation in his comment.
Miss you Ann.
Rest In Peace.
Great reaction.....I just love these versions of these songs....it just puts a big smile on my face!
At the last Saiki was telling Kanami to shut up and start playing the guitar. Kanami was gushing over her crush, Saiki and Saiki was telling her to get on with it.
Konami loves Saiki.
Anemone is a very good B-side song from the album "World Domination"
Beautiful💌
Saki-san was a singer..... fan forever

Silhouette (shadow) John, you’ve chosen a great video to react to! Saiki kills it!
JIMMY PAGE OF ( LED ZEPPELIN ) loves BAND-MAID, enough said.....
Happy birthday, another good reaction, thx for upload.
Knockn' your heart (acoustic)

Love, passion,matador (acoustic)

As always, BAND-MAID are better live...it gets emotional everytime!
Happy birthday John, happy for you, my birthday was on 26.03
Please react to their song "Choose Me" and "You." I hope you would make a reaction of these two songs. Thanks John!
Konami has a crush on Saiki, who prefers to downplay it.
Please do not use the tsunami.
In Japan, a tsunami is a bad image.
The tsunami killed tens of thousands of people on March 11, 2011.
Kanami is not happy to be said to be a tsunami.

You really need too review the band "the warning".. the "song dust to dust"
band maid and the warning are my favorite band right now
Thrill - acoustic version
Saiki born to sing
Saiki's performance here has some strange power to summon the onion ninjas.. every dang time.
Kanami's such a badass.. then you hear her speak :P
th-cam.com/video/uh0JDdCgZcs/w-d-xo.html studio version of Anemone is also great.. MISA with some slick lines ala Awkward. audio only.

John, your audio is diving periodically...do you have a limiter in your audio chain. The effect is a word disappearing every couple of seconds...rather disconcerting.
Noise gate I will fix it.
Reading subtitle is funny.
The name of guitarist is Kanami, not Tsunami.
Listen too Freedom live then Onset live that will get you rocken
Kanami - NOT tsunamis - big difference - show respect Shadow John. - would I call you " dark juan " no - that would be disrespectful- please - Kanami is one of the best and please do not confuse her name with Tsunami. Tsunamis have a bad conatation with the Japanese
