Great song. The first time I heard it, I laughed out loud upon hearing Misa’s bass solo. Miku penned some clever lyrics about the vain attention seeking nature of social media influencers. The music fits the theme, a lighthearted pop, hip hoppy style except with a high level of musicianship.I was surprised how well Influencer came off when Band Maid played it live.
Thanks for keeping the Maids in rotation. “Influencer” is the song you recommend when you think you have Band Maid figured out. To me personally, it’s their weirdest song. It was an absolute blast to see and hear live; the song transforms to a party anthem in that setting. But the track itself is just weird to my rock and blues ears. Kanami relies on her Eventide harmonizer on this record. It’s an experimental record. Your friend doesn’t seem to know your music tastes very well 😂 I pride myself on being a good DJ for friends. Based on all your reactions so far, and your comments about liking the “crazy, manic” side of things…I’m thinking about recommending one of my least favorite Band Maid songs for you. “Black Hole.” There’s a two-fer official live video titled “Manners/Black Hole.” The first being another new one for you, more in the funk rock side. But “Black Hole?” It’s as if all the instruments are having simultaneous 220 bpm seizures that somehow make sense? And that’ll be my guess for which song will get your attention as much as “Sense,” “Shambles” and Warning!”
I hope you get a chance to react to the TH-cam video of a two song clip from their one hour set at the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago this summer. The two song clip is "Dice" and "Hate?" has gone VIRAL on the internet. It is an absolute hard rock banger with solos from Misa and Kanami on "Dice" and then during the interlude between the two songs, Akane keeps pounding the drums leading into "Hate?'". During "Hate?" there is an amazing "call and respond" duel between Misa and Kanami. The audience went nuts (and so did anyone who saw the clip). That clip shows why Band Maid is one of the best live bands out there.
I think you’d dig the combo of songs “Dice & Hate?” From Lollapalooza if you haven’t checked those out yet. Though they may have played them at the show you went to
I was not really into Hate? as a song then as I saw all the live performances on the tour, it became my favorite song, and Lollapalooza is a great performance.
There so much heavy BAND-MAID you haven't done. You could do 'Rinne' or 'Different'. You could do just a solid Rocker like 'Real Existence' The LIVE version is the heaviest. If you want something more Power Pop like 'Blooming' try 'Unleashed'. 'Black Hole' which has been paired up with a Groove Tune called 'Manners'. I also see others suggesting another pairing from Lollapalooza, 'Dice' & 'Hate'. That has a nice Call & Response piece in it, though the sound and camera work isn't quite BAND-MAID Standards. It's still good!
I love this reaction, lol! Not sure… so different… not my favorite style that I prefer… ummmm, okay, this is great! Kick-ass! 😂. With these ladies you have to set aside preconceptions and expectations and let them do their thing. Quite often you may not get what you wanted, but you get what you didn’t know you needed.

Knowing not to speak when kanami is speaking and respecting it makes you a full maidiac now
Miku's final scream goes on forever. Filmed in an abandoned rock quarry in Ibaraki Prefecture, on a 37C day.

Did you forget you saw this song live? They played it at the park west show , I was there.
