- This BAND-MAID reaction is genuinely my first time ever hearing Manners or Black Hole in addition to my first time seeing this live performance video. Both songs were great fun. Hats off to BAND-MAID. They rock.
0:00 Intro
0:22 Start of Manners
4:42 Start of Black Hole
7:51 Summary
When I do my reaction videos I don't press pause because I don't want to interrupt the natural flow of the music as it was originally intended by the artist. I try to vocalise my thoughts in real time as I listen to the song, and then summarise my reaction afterwards.
You can checkout the artist's original video without my commentary here: • BAND-MAID / Manners, B...
Please do recommend songs or other artists for me to checkout in future by commenting on this video! I'm constantly on the lookout for great new music and things I've never heard before.

This is a live stream from Band-Maid last year because of covid !! Your right there is no one in the stands, just the crew !! You have to love the Maids thinking about their fans =)
They performed 3 online streamed live concert performances in 2021. Oh, and an album. And several singles. THE best Rock band on Earth is made up of 5 very hard-working Rock goddesses. As for 'Black Hole...The story I heard was that Kanami asked Akane how many BPM's she could put out and, when Akane said "About 200", Kanami smiled and said she'd written a 220 BPM song and wondered if Akane could handle it. Akane replied "Hold my ramen...".
Exactly, i think the band was concerned that A-Chan might hurt herself at 220 :)
With all the content they gave us in 2021 and then finish the year with an Acoustic Xmas
that exceeded what i was hoping for was just perfect. Band-Maid never stops surprising me.
Band Maids rock never dies, ever…….Forever!! Po!!
Kanami: "Akane, how fast can you play?"
Akane: "About 200BPM."
Kanami: "OK, here's one at 220BPM."
Welcome back to the best rock band in the world!
They just recently announced a US tour for 2022, so for your sake I hope that they'll hit up Europe and the UK before too long as well.
Fingers crossed!
When Akane got the demo for "Black Hole," she came up with seven different drum tracks for it, which she named "Easy, Comfortable, Normal, Possible if I work hard, Tough, Painful, and Hell." The band chose Hell.
Seriously? Legit? Lol... really sounds like typical Band Maid. Why not choose hell eh?
Haha! That’s amazing.
Why I'm not astonished, that they chose Hell? That was so clear! 😂👍
Aside from choosing 'Hell,' how many musicians (in the West, anyway) would work up SEVEN options to present to their bandmates to choose from?
Well yeah. What I really like about Akane’s drumming is his “self-explanatory” drumming.
I don't know if you feel it?
This girl, an insight from within ... Always sure. You don't have to strain for a moment.
Bocsánat az "angolságomért". :) A "fordító" a "ludas". :D
Band-Maid is by far my favorite band, period... I love everything they do. Thanks for the reaction!
The perfect combination of songs to showcase the versatility of the ladies. And they performed Black Hole as the penultimate song in this 2 hour concert, which still impresses me with all its 'craziness'. 🔥🤘🏻

The bass get even savage in No God,
So I hear, I’m excited to hear that one. It’s on my list.
@@SteveOGRock its my fav song from them. No god next please please sir 🙏
Which is insane because... how much more gnarly can you get?
MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! the Barefoot Bass Assassin .
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.

BAND MAID comes to the US in 2022! No venues mentioned yet but that makes my New Year Resolution list!
Yeah, every time I hear this I'm struck by how appropriate Akane's fills in 'Manners' are (and there are some short ones that are impressively speedy, but don't mess up the groove).
Also, duelling bass and guitar solos, essentially. WTF!
100%
This band is remarkable and it’s clear from interviews and the music that they have a vast set of influences; all the way back to The Beatles, Hendrix, Zeppelin, Santana, Motown (the Funk Brothers) & even Toto - all who I’ve them mention. Having an active bass during a guitar solo is actually a well established theme in 60’s/70’s rock - Geddy Lee of Rush - quite the active bassist, said he learned that from Jack Bruce of Cream, and always felt free to go all in during Lifeson’s solos; and clearly Misa feels the same. I love it and it adds a great dynamic to their music in the tradition of some of the greatest rock bands of all time. With the excellence they are producing, by the time they hang up their instruments (hopefully not for many years), I think Band Maid is going to be recognized as another of the great bands in rock history. They are already so good, only getting better and have practically unlimited capability to create some of the best rock music we’ve ever heard. I sure hope to see live in 2022 if everything falls into place (fingers-crossed). That’ll be 🔥🔥🔥.
Rock On 🤘🏼
@@bobespirit2112 Good point that this isn't the _first_ guitar/bass duel, I should've worded that better. I think B-M would happily acknowledge that they are standing on the shoulders of giants.
@@bobespirit2112 Not sure if MISA has ever mentioned John Entwistle, but she has mentioned Paz Lenchantin and the bassit from Ruido Rosa. Entwistle was a very active bassist.
@@bobespirit2112 Speaking of Cream, as a young teenage male, "Spoonful" live from the "Wheels of Fire" album was one of my favorite songs and still is. Certainly a great example of an "active bass". Actually you can consider it it as three 3 solos, (drum, bass and guitar) combined into a rock masterpiece. The rhythm section is certainly one of the reasons that Band-Maid has become one of my favorite bands. In fact they rekindled my interest in rock and I have no problem comparing them to the rock gods that I grew up with.
Thx for wonderful reaction. :) Amazing band.
Manners is one of my fave Band Maid tracks! ♥
Band Maid US tour 2022, don't miss it
MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃
MISA MISA MISA!
@@DavidMISAMISAMISACook 🥃🥃🥃🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
The paid on line concerts were watched by fans in every Continent bar the cold bits. Every band member is brilliant and they do the simple things so well and the complicated bits with ease. Yet together the arrangements are just stunning. Sure somebody has mentioned they did a Christmas Acoustic concert which was every bit as good as expected if not better better showing how versatile these ladies are.
Band-Maid is so amazing in so many levels...
From an awesome groove to awesome melodic chaos. Band-Maid pulls that off because they are Awesome. Peace.
The first Awesome's of 2022. Awesome.👍
@@GaryHolloway-810 Happy New Year buddy. This will be an Awesome year for Band-Maid. 🌎🌍🌏📈 And the Maidiacs.
@@jkkansasband7056 Happy New Year to you too jk. I hope the Maids US tour goes down a storm & they get waaay more world coverage from our Rock/Metal mags & radio stations. That'll make my year whether they get to play London or not.🙂
@@GaryHolloway-810 Yes, recognition! They'll be back in the UK. Probably making announcements one step at a time.🤞🏻🤔
@@jkkansasband7056 Yep i guess they have to see how the covid situation is each country. I just know they won't be able to play here at the moment :(
This was one of the ONLINE concerts during the lockdown. They had to preform live in front of cameras. They are the coolest.
Nice reaction Mr.If you have time listen the full album/UNSEEN WORLD/ I think the best album on 2021...you will find lot of tresure as a musician ;) &the new album /SENSE/ B side Hibana&Corallium just same good ;)
Akane has no need to show off, her greatness is never in doubt.
Loved that. 'Manners' had an almost '70s feel to it. Thanks Steve.
Your wish has been granted. Band-Maid has announced a 2022 US Tour.
So many reactors seem to be reacting to the sound of their own voice. They pause every time some abstract thought emerges from their brain. There is a guy who has recently started and his reactions are 25 minutes long and he doesn't appear to be qualified in any thing or have any particular knowledge he just likes talking. I'm not that interested in the technical side of things but you present it with great enthusiasm and appreciation and I always watch your videos to the end and listen to what you have to say. You are a good reactor. 👍
Thanks Stephen, this means a lot to me. I try to only comment during the song on particular stand out moments briefly and then summarise some key takeaways at the end. I think it’s a good balance that way, personally, so it’s great to hear that you also think there’s value this way. Cheers!
25 min reaction 😂😂 that's quite short tbf which reactor was it??? Iv seen a nightwish and baby metal at near an hour b4 very entertaining though
@@terrahawk1977 it's Carl Reacts. It took him 8 minutes before he played a single note. This guy could talk under water.
@@terrahawk1977 Stephen thinks anything that doesn't conform to his personal taste is just objectively "bad." It's the same as somebody saying "Band-Maid sucks because they're not metal enough." Which would be one thing if he didn't also feel the need to go out and be a dick to people who don't do what he demands. He's a prime example of a toxic fanbase. Notice how he can't compliment this reactor without slamming somebody else.
@@stevehall5128 👍👍
Great reaction. One thing perhaps that goes without saying is how incredibly tight they all are. Insanely so! Vocals included.
True!
Listening to them just makes me happy.
WARNING! 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, Steve!
US tour announced on Christmas for 2022. Get hyped!
Bandmaid doesn't have a Bass. They have a lead Bass.
Misa GROOVES.
Isn't "Manners" just about the grooviest rock song out there? Agree: Misa's bass playing (as usual) is superb and adds so much to the performance.
Manners may be my favorite Maid song ever. But I love them all! Recently announced 🇺🇸 tour 2022. Great Reaction Brother! Rock on!😊😎✌🤘🤘🤘
Groove to fiil your heart, before you enter the "Blackhole❤
"It's got a slow paced rock groove"... I'm grinning ear to ear knowing what's coming with Black Hole :P
Great reaction, Steve!
I think you mention many of the characteristics that make Band Maid such an amazing band!
They just announced a US tour ... maybe before the end of the year, you can see them play live !!
Thanks!!
Fingers crossed they make it over to London!
You can see why Manners is Misa's favorite song !!!!!!!!
Thanks for the bass guitar props. A list of Japanese bass players is what introduced me to Misa and then Band Maid. She is freakin' awesome!
Prior to Band-Maid, the only Japanese band I had ever listened to repeatedly is the still great Maximum The Hormone. I enjoyed Band-Maid so much that I started listening to a lot of Japanese bands but only a handful have really stuck with me. I regularly listen to Band-Maid, Lovebites, Nemophila and the Wagakki Band and I don't see that changing as long as they keep making music. I have also listened to the recent debut album from Hanabie and I no longer consider them a one song wonder - they are really good for such a young band.
If I were to make a personal top 10 songs and albums for 2021, I know that Manners would be on the song list and Unseen World would be on the album list in a year where there have been many superior rock, blues rock and and metal albums released. For this old guy, Unseen World is right up there with the 2021 albums from Iron Maiden, Mastodon, Trivium, Dream Theater, Epica, Cheap Trick, etc. In fact, Band-Maid reminds me of Cheap Trick. A great, but initially underrated, rock band full of quirky members with great talent led by a song writing genius of a lead guitarist. As much as I love Rick Neilsen, I think Kanami Tono is the more impressive song writer. Manners and Black Hole are a perfect example of her song writing versatility. She forced Misa and Akane to become better than they already were and taught Miku Kobato from scratch to be a solid guitarist. Of the Japanese bands I mentioned, Miyako of Lovebites might be the only one close to her level. Listen to the last 3 Band-Maid albums - at least 90% of the music is Kanami Tono. She is just getting started.
I loved early Cheap Trick. Saw them play a free concert in suburban Chicago back in the 70’s. There’s an awesome, hard-rocking early concert set on TH-cam. They achieved widespread fame with Live At Budokan, but by then they had developed a much softer pop sound.
@@Greg-om2hb I have seen Cheap Trick live a couple of times, both great shows. The first was the 1980 Texas Jam at the Cotton Bowl, legendary not only for the lineup but for how hot it was that day. The second was a free downtown street concert in my hometown. I agree that Neilsen started to lean in on the more poppy side of New Wave after the Dream Police album (still my favorite). Kanami seems to be leaning into more of a punk sound. They are both very experimental.
More BAND-MAID, please.
Band maid come to US this year
I've heard people complain that "Black Hole" is too chaotic for them. I've also heard people say "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." I say "Chaos is in the ear of the listener." People just need to move some of that beauty out of their eye and into their ear. Dig some of that wax and chaos out of there to make space! Listening to "Black Hole" repeatedly will both move beauty *and* dig wax!
Happy New Year Steve. Now I can see you are starting to really like the band compared to your first couple of reactions. Akane's drum is very creative, fun and addictive at least to me, Sayonakidori has some really interesting drumming, but like you say, she just does it to make their music more interesting, but never interfere the flow.
This Band is a killer !!!!!!!!!!! Band Maid are .... the best of the best !!!!!!!!!!
they are so dope
another you have to check out is the dragon cried it all in english
Two songs means we each get two comments... is a rule I just made up and means nothing. Miku says, "Yeah yeah yeah! Yeah yeah yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" and I'm a melty pile on the floor. Yes I said melty, even though this silly computer is trying to tell me it isn't a word. MELTY!
Black Hole=astronomers national song!!LOL!
Another great reaction Steve.. Hard to do a bad reaction to Band maid, it's all good.. I have another group for you.. Also Japanese, also all female.. This MV will blow your mind.. Funk, blues, rock, it's all in there, just when you think it can't get crazier, it does. Group is called Gacharic spin, song is called Mindset.. Check out the link.. If you dare.. :) th-cam.com/video/QmL0V667QzI/w-d-xo.html
Well, consider me intrigued! Thank you, added to my list now.
@@SteveOGRock Excellent.. You won't regret it.. Best wishes for a happy New Year, and thanks for the reply.. :)
Oh, that's a really great pick, Mindset from the minds of the crazy, talented band GS. Their last album in my opinion is just behind B-M in best album for this 2021.
@@glenkelley6799 The very one .. They are so tallented and agree whole heartedly on the album position.. They are right up there.. Such diversity in their songs.. Always something unexpected.. Best wishes
Manners is Blues Rock, and Black Hole is Proggy Speed Metal
someone had to call child support after the beating those drums got on blackhole,
Look up Swedish band Dirty Loops and Bassplayer Henrik Linder He's awesome !!! 3 amazing musicians !)) I promise you will like them !)) Try Triller, cover of Michael Jackson !))))
ONSET
I really like the concept of Black Hole. It is chaotic, disorienting and just a wall of energy. It might not be the easiest and catchiest song they've made. I get the feeling that is done by purpose. To me they went 100% with the more artsy thing of trying to re-create the feeling of a black hole instead.
No doubt it's a deliberate kind of dissonance and I just don't understand why some people (probably young and dumb) can't appreciate how creative the band is. The song feels like it's being pulled apart under the influence of a great force, slowing, speeding up and spiraling out of control. A black hole indeed. More I listen to it the more I love it. Then again I could say that about everything they do.
Will you ever propose Misa for marriage if you're not engaged already ? 🙂
This smart attitude "sucks"
