"Manners" and "Black Hole" are two tracks by BAND-MAID from their album Unseen World, which is known for its hard-hitting rock sound and complex compositions. Both songs contribute to the album's overall aggressive and innovative sound, demonstrating BAND-MAID's commitment to pushing the boundaries of their music and maintaining a distinctive presence in the rock genre. For more details on these tracks and the album, you can check out the full lyrics and reviews on platforms like Metal Kingdom and Wikipedia.
And I react to it. ENJOY, PO!!
This was an online performance only as it was during the big shutdown.
THAT EXPLAINS THE LACK OF AUDIENCE 😂
Should check out the Band-Maid songs "Rock in Me", "Time" and/or "Sayonakidori" (Either the regular Hard driving version or the more Ballid like Accoustic version) to Hear Miku the rhythm guitarist and Backing/Secondary vocalist take on lead vocals duties. After that you can check out her side project Cluppo which is more Pop-rock.
I'm doing them all 😎
Give Miku some love, she sings too you know :)
❤😂
You know I love her! 😍😄
@@jjo154 Jeff you're a Miku smitten kitten.😁

When they were in the US the GA tickets were around 30. The VIP tickets were 100+
The Maids are absolutely the best band on the planet.
Thanks Roger Dodger! 🏴☠
Roger has achieved golden legend status.
@@thefablesfolly Not only with you...There was a Reddit post the other day from the Japanese fan site wondering why the Band-Maid offical YT site was showing a marked increase in subs and views. Some in Japan are blaming Roger.😁
@@bandmaidfanATL Now THAT is awesome.
Thanks for the reaction and comments. The juxtaposition of songs on the opposite ends of the style/BPM spectrum showcases their dynamic range and diversity of sound. These ladies are arguably the best live rock band on the planet. They have no limits when it comes to their creativity and imagination. I suspect that Kanami (lead guitar) being a classically trained pianist spilled over into her fingering style when playing the guitar.
"Po" is a Japanese onomatopoeia of a Pigeon sound, fully said "Cruppo." We in the US (West) would say coo. Simply, Miku Kobato's (Rhythm G, 2nd V, main lyricist, Head Pigeon), last name is translated to small dove or pigeon. Hence, everything "Pigeon" persona = Miku, Po! 🦍🍌
PO!
I'm in Dallas and traveled up to Minneapolis to see them. They are unbelievable! Moshing is actively discouraged by the band. They have great crowd interactions during the breaks and are extremely funny.
That's sad to hear about the moshing thing but that's not a dealbreaker!
@@thefablesfolly A lot of the audience is older dudes that are there to listen to the music, not that sort of stuff.
Supposedly, they use to have some fierce moshing back in Japan at their concerts. The band asked the fans to stop because people were getting hurt.
@@thefablesfolly There is no audience in these 2 videos. This was done during the lockdown. BAND MAID wrote a song to us fans about this in ABOUT US - th-cam.com/video/qicgVAxCYV8/w-d-xo.html
Check out their MV “Influencer”.
Any Maids serving (as they call their songs) ROCKS!!! The ladies are in their early 30s now and have been rocking for almost 10 years.
Try Thrill the track that blew them up on the world stage (the label was about let them go when this happened in 2015), Freedom, Onset, From now on, Hate? Are all great tracks and they have an extensive back catalogue of over 100 tracks
Welcome Princes and Princesses to the 5 Band-Maid members:
SAIKI Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. 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 front women... or front men!
MIKU Kobato (Me-Ku), "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals and lyricist. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR Spokes Pigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. She couldn’t play when she formed the band and was tutored by Kanami.
KANAMI Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 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 is more!
AKANE Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, 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. 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!
Here you go @Fables Folly

Band-Maids Genre is Band-Maid. Rock, Metal, Pop, Alt, Prog, Punk, with Jazz and Blues for sprinkles. Different is another song they wrote for an anime.
Miku Kobato: Red rose, Rhythm guitar and backup vocals. Started the band. Started guitar when the first 4 members decided she shouldn't sing lead. She found
Kanami Tono: Lead guitarist, main composer. She worked with and is friends with
Akane Hirose: Drummer extraordinaire. Akane attended the Tokyo School of music and did some work with
MISA: Bad ass barefoot bass assassin. She likes her whisky! Together these four played a few sets before they decided they needed a stronger singer. Enter
Saiki Atsumi: The Queen. Together they have around 125 songs and just celebrated 10 years together.
If you want harder, try Different or Rinne. About Us is a ballad written for the fans during covid, Endless Story closes out a lot of shows. just look at anything! Have fun.
1000 members soon! Thanks Roger, as always! Subscribe folks! Subscribe!
That's the rhythm guitarist hammering rapidly in the intro of Blackhole.
Side note: there's no such thing as moshpit in Japan at proper concerts, they've toured in US last year, the year before, and couple of times before that as well. From 2022 to 2023, they appeared in few major rock festivals such as aftershock, welcome to rockville, lollapalooza, pointfest and sonic temple art and music festival. They opened for Guns and Roses when they toured to Japan in 2022 and recenly collaborated with Mike Einziger of Incubus.
So I can see them touring in USA again maybe next year?
Babymetal has moshpits in Japan. They are then of the circular kind though.
*_po means: it's it like means gentle and like kind_* you speak Pigeon! *PO?*
To be fair someone commented what it means in a previous video lol
Love your Children of Bodom T shirt- Pity they are no longer. Never mind I have Band-Maid now. I'm Afraid, no mosh pits at band-Maid shows- It's a family event for some fans where the children are allowed to go to the front or even between the security barrier and the stage, as at some of the recent US shows.
This is true, but those rules don't apply at some festivals. But I respect the stance on it.
Enjoying your reactions to our remarkable Maids. Excellence shine through every time.
You’re heard 5 songs and everyone has been completely different than the last. They are their own genre.
Want to keep the different streak going? How about an Instrumental?
- “From Now On” - OMV
A Lot more of those “robot fingers” to enjoy!

Wow, Alanis Morissette? I got that as soon as you said it. All thought theres no direct comparison Saiki has way more control
Band maid is one of the best hard rock bands. This video is actually from a live streamed performance they did during covid, so no audience except those of us watching the stream that day, I did see it live when it happened so I have the entire concert on video though not something I can post. I have also seen them live, which is an amazing show and more amazing is they really play that good, live. They have well over 100 songs, all of them are good.
Kanami has a Bogner now. Amp of her dreams. Amazing tones and LOUD AS FUCK.
Thanks Roger!
If you are trying to grow your channel may I suggest Alip Ba Ta as a subject of reaction and amazement. To say he is a finger style guitarist is like calling an H bomb a firecracker. If you love music you will be amazed!! Lots of fans!
Lovebites is a beautiful all female metal band from Japan. They have a large fan base. They are amazing if you like metal. That's enough for now.
Po is the sound a dove or pidgeon makes in Japan. In the West it is coo. Miku Kobato claims that she is a 810 year old pidgeon. While working in a Maid Cafe the girls were asked to pick a cute animal totem. Most picked bunnies or kitty cats. Miku chose a pidgeon. It is my belief that Miku embraced her condition of being visibly pidgeon-toed. She has difficulty moving and often falls. It would be just like the Mighty Miku to turn a liability into an asset. Just a suspicion!
There are several documentaries out there on the ladies and should you sit down with those one day, you will learn that Miku (pigtail guitar) didn't play a lick of guitar when the band started.
Never even held one but thought it would be cool to have two guitars. Compared to the lead guitar Kanami who started playing in between baby naps almost, Miku is a rookie and a half. BUT, she is learning and improving constantly. But that is why you hear a pronounced bass and drum line. They do have to "carry" a lot more of the rhythm section than a band with a more proficient rhythm guitar normally would. If you at some point watch some of the real early stuff, Miku's guitar is a mere prop. Now she is pulling off slides, bends and even a little but of soloing. She is getting there
I paid 700.00 for a day pass at WELCOME TO ROCKVILLE in Daytona only to see Band-Maid! I took the rail in front of Miku, and walked out as The Cult was playing Sanctuary. Mission Accomplished i went back to the Hard Rock Hotel on the beach ordered a pizza, had a beer, listened to the surf with that Band-Maid joy ringing in my ❤️
I know you have 116 other songs to listen from Band Maid, as you said you only stop when you listen to a bad song. But I will suggest you Gacharic Spin (I wish I - live) and East of Eden (This moment - MV - they are a Japanese band, not the English one from last century).. enjoy your trip, it will be long very long in the Japanese rock scene.
Japanese rock and metal are absolutley killing it right now. Really, rock and metal in general are having a huge comeback.
What? No... Only 1 has a thing for pigeons cos of her name ... N "Po" is mimicking how pigeons talk ...I'll let u find out who .....
I'm still learning and I'm a moron lol
@@thefablesfolly Subscibed! We morons must stick together …
Dude...No Jane's Addiction, no 90's Rock, No Southern Rock, No Alannis Morrisette...JUST BAND-MAID!!
Saw them in 2022, fantastic live performers! I highly recommend catching them the next time they come to the states
And to comment on the pricing; it was around $50 when I saw them. But it'll probably be a bit more when they come back
Seen them in Philly in '22. Houston last year & bout to see them & The Warning in Tokyo
- yes I know I'm obsessed 😳
@@Bekka_NoybTLA 22’? I was there! 🍺😁
@@RogerChance5309 small world 😉
@@Bekka_Noyb I went to the philly show as well haha
Manners gives old skool rock vibes. top tier Band Maid. ♥
I believe that Miku said it best: ya, ya, ya, ya, ya yaaaaaa! 😎
Manners mv is my favorite! 🍺😁
I get a total Carrie Underwood vibe from Manners.....Kanami (Mincho)lead guitar, vocals, composer/arranger....Miku rythm guitar, founder, reincarnated 800 year old magic pigeon and lyricist....Saiki (ice queen/sensai)vocals, keyboards and lyricist....Akane (gorilla) drums and leader....and MISA (barefoot assassin) bass now ya know...LOL....nice work man....
Please try "Unleash!!!!! (10th anniversary Live)". You can see Saiki's strong voice.
Roger is the man, doing the real work getting both Band Maid and small channels recognized.
Thanks Rodger Thanks Miku Y'all Rock
You don't need suggestions for Band Maid. Put up a list of their songs, close your eyes and point. Whatever song you land on will be great.
KANAMI asked Herman Li (Dragon Force) what the fastest song he plays (225bpm) Kanami stated that 220 was her fastest (BLACK HOLE) but she would write a song for 225bpm.
Herman Li video here th-cam.com/video/oS2U9YzaFK8/w-d-xo.html
They use (self performed) backing tracks but just kinda like Rush used them.
WARNING! (maybe your next B-M song?) It's bad MANNERS to stop listening to Band-Maid because you'll feel starved for musical excellence and joy and fall into a BLACK HOLE of emptiness... probably! 🤔 Thx, Fab!
They don't have a mosh pit, a US audience tried it once and got told off by Miku, there was no audience at this recording, it was an online concert, Japan took Covid seriously and the government sponsored bands who wanted to produce online performances so that they could still get income.
Po doesn't mean anything, the Japanese onomatopoeic words for a pigeon sound are kurrupo or cluppo, the Kanji characters for Miku can also can be read as small pigeon, so Miku ends every sentence with 'po' because she is a small pigeon. Cluppo is also the name of her solo project.
Kanami's robot fingers can be attributed to the fact that she's primarily a pianist, playing piano since the age of 3 and only taking up the guitar in High School.
Festivals are different than concerts. There are mosh pits at festivals in the US, but the audience is spread out so it's not a big deal. But I don't mosh so I respect it lol I just like watching them.
Fables Folly , Nice to see your enjoying your journey down BAND-MAID`s Pigen hole , but all your pause`s are ruining the flow of the songs .
Thanks so much nice reaction!
I request Reincarnation (live version) for the next request!
Thanks.
Thank you Roger. (he said to thank you - I already did I think but you are the Patron Saint of Maids. And that is one important task!!)
To help you out with the names...

Kanami (kuh-NAHM-ee) - Lead Guitar, Piano, Keyboard, Acoustic Guitar, Backing Vocals, a.k.a. Mincho (MEEN-cho) PRS Custom 24 in Red or Green

Akane (ah-KAHN-ay) - Drums, Destroyer of Bananas, a.k.a. Gorilla (Half-Gorilla/Half-Human - 100% AKANE)
There's tons of songs to enjoy, both music videos and live performances. One of mine is "Play (Live)". Like this version of Manners, it's a one-off that you will never hear anywhere else.
Enjoy the trip down the Pigeon Hole!
MAN YOU HIT ON THE NAIL WHEN YOU COMPARED SAIKI SOUNDING LIKE MORISSETTE.... COOL THIS BAND IS ALWAYS INCREDIBLE
You've done a coupla different genre's so far an it might be time to see em smash out a ballad. Check out "Daydreaming" MV. You might pick up a little of "Edge" from U2 in the guitar but be careful cos the guitar solo comes outta nowhere an will near bring a tear to your eye. An this might be your first 11 ... even though you said you don't go over 10 anymore haha.
次の世代には、新しい音楽だよ！！、だって知らない し ! 生まれてない人たちだもんね～知らないんだもの？、、ね！。ロックは、、、今の世界では、、新しい音楽だよね！！~と。
Here's a guide to all things BAND-MAID: www.youtube.com/@Ohrenje.
THAT IS AWESOME gonna react to that
Swamp rock robot fingers. Yup, I hear it.
Im not sure but this might of been one of the only online performances they did during covid, and if so there wasnt an audience- at least not in person- they were watching it live over the internet. But to answer your question in general, yup BM audiences will be quite lively for most songs :)
You won't find mosh pits in Japan, their too polite, but you will anywhere else
Bought my GA for 65 online, venue had for 35 Day of. . It was still AN AWESOME SHOW.
Roger? Ohhh, THAT ROGER.😁👍
❤😅🎉
That wascally wabbit!
🍺🙄
Sell your car, your tv, heck even a kidney in order to see this band live! It will change your life about what you thought was good music all those years.
Growing up I always thought of ratatata as the sound of a machine gun. :) So, I guess something rapid and fast.
It makes sense that it would just be like machine gun fire. That's one of the biggest things Japanese people pull from American culture lol
It’s commonly associated with the AK-47, specifically.
You're mistaken about Po, sort of. Miku is a hundreds of year old Pigeon. And in Japan pigeons don't Coo, they Kruppo. Which is why she ends her sentences in Po. And why, instead of doing more BAND-MAIKO videos, this time the joke was she's going solo as Cluppo. Check out her stuff sometime. It's not like BAND-MAID, but then again they're Shapeshifters. That's their genre. If you had kept going when you stopped for a screenshot you would have heard her say, "STOP". But, there was no audience. This was shot during the COVID Clampdown. They did some songs about it. 'About Us' is a Love Letter to the fans, and 'Unleash' is about curing the world with their music in anime form.
It's actually both!
The bassist is Misa " the barefoot assassin". Likes to swig Whisky.
Ratatat and Ratatata are not necessarily Asian, but more of an onomatopoeia. It's basically quick, repeated noises like a drum or shooting. Rapid fire...
I just thought it was funny that two Japanese songs I listened to have nothing to do with each other both said it lol
@@thefablesfolly It was a bit ironic that you chose those 2 songs in one day...We have advised Miku to file a copyright claim...🤣🤣🤣
@@thefablesfollyI can absolutely guarantee that whoever writes babymetal's songs is very familiar with bandmaid. The girls don't hang together, Miku doesn't want to be associated with the whole cheese, but the bands hang out together. I think I've seen MISA (bass) in pictures with their wizard guy who plays the Chapstick thing.
No audience for this one- it was an online mini-concert they did during the pandemic.
👍😁🤗🤘🥰🕊👀
Because of Covid in 2021, this was a concert without an audience. Because they couldn't tour or do concerts with live audiences, they turned to online concerts like this. Oh, and Saiki (vocalist) is very good at rapping. The drummer was pushed to the limit -- she couldn't play this song at first, but -- hard work and she made it.
They have toured America a number of times. Wait and they will come to you.
Band-Maid is the epitome of rock and roll. They defy all genres of rock. They aften mix several genres in one of their over 130 recorded songs.We Maidiacs (that's what Band-Maid fans call ourselves) just call their sound Band-Maid Music. I have been to two of their concerts in the U.S. last year. Believe it or not, they are much better live. Welcome to the wide and wild world of Band-Maid.
300 more, let's goo!!
It's 200 now lol
🥰🤘👍😁🤗🕊👀
🍺🥴
Roger is everywhere.....good job brother. This reaction was much better. Good job. You will find that trying to place Band-Maid in a genre is ridiculous and thats why you will see that Maidiacs say Band-Maid is a genre. Im looking forward to you seeing Kanami in true string melt down when she turns into a true guitar beast. You've only seen her warm up so far and the best is yet to come. All of the ladies are tops in their field and always play to what is best for the song when composing.....no egos at all. Again, good job brother.
There was no live audience present in the studio where "Manners/Black Hole" was recorded. They performed this two-fer video as part of an on-line okyu-ji during the pandemic because of the very restrictive shutdowns of live audiences and travel. The band, being troopers and wanting desperately to connect with their fans did this on-line concert.
If you said good word about my Misa, immediately like.
11:47 you stopped right at the moment when Saiki was about to say “stop!”
Yeah, that's an issue with first time reactions. Don't know what is coming next lol
I have the score book of their album unseen world - black hole is crazy.
"Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!" - Miku Kobato.
ROGER IS THE MAN!!!!!
The best live rock band...maybe ever.
