I discovered *BAND-MAID* in 2019 and came to a realization that *BAND-MAID* more then just a rock band they are a band that does not have any boundaries and is willing experiment into different genre from (Blues, Rock, Punk and Jazz) and a lot of fans including me would say “you got to check out their live videos” from:

In the end I realize that *BAND-MAID* more then just a band but a band that cares about each other and their fan base and in October of 2022 I had a fortune of experiencing them live and with that *BAND-MAID* cemented their Legacy into my heart. Rock On! 🤘

You have opened the floodgates. They may be the best rock group in the world today (I think they are). They are certainly the most creative band since the Beatles, and they are top-tier musicians. I saw many of the classic rock bands - Purple, Zeppelin, Queen, Santana, many more, all in their heyday. I’ve seen Band-maid three times and their performances stand up to any of those legendary bands.
You are going to get a lot of suggestions. First, a little background on the band:
Saiki Atsumi - Lead vocals Born Feb 8, 1994
MISA - Bass Born Oct 15, 1992
Kanami Tono - Lead guitar, Main composer and arranger Born Sept 28, 1991
Miku Kobato - Rhythm guitar, backing vocal Born Oct 21, 1991
Akane Hirose - Drums Born Dec 14, 1990
Miku was working in a Maid Café after being in an idol group that didn’t break through. She envisoned the idea of a maid-band that plays hard rock and metal. She recruited Kanami, after finding a Kanami guitar cover on line; Kanami then recruited Akane, who recruited MISA. Akane and MISA had been students together at the Tokyo Music Academy. The group decided they needed more vocal “oomph”, and collectively recruited Saiki. Miku didn't know how to play guitar when they started, so Kanami has been teaching her. She's become good so fast that she is really adding to the music mix, and Maidiacs are daring to dream of a dual shred.
The band was struggling early on, and in 2014, even as the label was considering dropping them, they posted the music video for “Thrill” which went viral globally. When they realized what was going on, it gave them the momentum to forge ahead, and they have now done multiple tours of Europe and the U.S. and are building a global fanbase who call themselves the Maidiacs.
They have released seven full albums, as well as several EPs, singles and music videos. They have put out around 170 songs, covering a wide variety of styles and sounds, without any duds. They combine a punk vibe with instrumental virtuosity (two things that are often seen as being incompatible), and have done some amazing progressive-rock songs and ballads with a metal edge to them.
They toured the U.S. in 2022 and sold out 14 cities in less than 48 hours. They followed it up with a 2023 tour which had to be expanded from their original plans. Their fan base skews heavily to actual practicing musicians. Some of those followed the band to multiple dates and documented everything on youtube-some of the footage is hilarious.
I’ve seen them in 2019, 2022 and 2023. Their shows are truly life-reaffirming. So far no announcements of another European tour but it seems likely in 2024.
Band-Maid are that rare band that sound perfect live, even better than in the studio. Everything they have posted from their 10thAnniversary concert in Yokohama is absolute fire-I have bought the DVD and recommend you do too. 33 songs, 3 hours of insanity. The clip you just watched is from that show.

Best rock band on the planet.
THE best Hard Rock band on the planet. Probably on other planets too.
My favorite band since I discovered them five years ago. First time's usually a shocker, but I can honestly say that it takes a while to fully grasp how great of a band they are. Each player is top tier. Their songwriting and arranging not only equal but surpass anything I've seen in decades, which you only realize when you've listened to your 80th song of theirs and you're still waiting for a bad one. Most of all, they have a magical power - to leave you ten times happier than you were before you listened. Yes - they really are the best hard rock band to come along in decades! Thanks for putting them on!
Welcome to Band-Maid! The best hard rock band I have heard in my 58 years on this planet. They don't stick to any one genre and often mix genres in songs. They are extremely diverse and have an extensive back catalogue featuring Punk, Pop-Punk, Hard-Rock, Classic Rock, Metal, Prog, Blues, Jazz, Groove, Rap etc. From face melting 220 bpm punk-prog to ballads, instrumentals to acoustics they do it all. They can make you headbang, they can make you pogo, they can make you cry like a baby. They are also five of the nicest people in music, without a shred of ego. They are funny and fun and world class musicians to boot. They are currently into their 11th year with the original line up.
Btw, Miku the rhythm guitarist (red rose) formed the band. She had the idea of Band-Maid after working as a maid in Japanese maid cafe's. Her idea is a concept called "The Gap" - that is what you see (cute maids) is NOT what you get (Hard Rock/Punk/Metal). They take the maid café concept literally. They call their concerts "servings" and their fans "Masters and Princesses". Oh, and Miku is an 810 year old small pigeon. Welcome to the pigeon hole Po!
They are rock and roll guardian angels and the best hard rock band on this planet🤘Keep an eye on them!!
Oh, I will be. I'm VERY interested.
THE MOST POWERFUL BAND EVER❤❤❤❤❤❤
Welcome to the world of Band Maid, the best band on the planet.
Welcome, Adam. You are embarking on (along with many others - over 200 million YT views plus over 40 million reactor plays!) 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 (130+ songs), 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 songs from albums Unleash, Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Hate?, Shambles, Influencer, Warning, No God, Different, Black Hole, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Don’t You Tell Me, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, 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, Bestie, About Us, Memorable, 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, Giovanni, and Black Hole… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like From Now On, Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts… or their many acoustic versions like Catharsis and Sayonakidori... and last but not least, their Anime hits (AniMaid) like Sense, Glory and Unleash!!!!! (from their own Anime MV (series?)): th-cam.com/video/7LB_EPS48HE/w-d-xo.html)
And many songs are represented with over 50 well produced music videos. th-cam.com/users/BANDMAID
Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYUJI concerts:
2023 Yokohama 10th Year Anniversary Concert “Endless Story” th-cam.com/video/Za1y-RRVd70/w-d-xo.html
ONLINE OKYU-JI (Feb. 11, 2021) “No God” th-cam.com/video/nAdWnIRjGak/w-d-xo.html

Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 and other full concerts are on bandmaidprime.tokyo, bili, and official Band-Maid’s DVD/BD/CD.
And some of the better quality fan videos are excellent. Here’s two of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at an intimate venue:

See the Maids 2023 Rockville Festival’s short-set perfection performance: th-cam.com/video/vjZkNeoGmhc/w-d-xo.html
If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, live streams, 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, Don’t Let Me Down, 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.

Band-Maid Members:
Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “StarQueen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 30 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, 32 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, 32 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, 33 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, 31 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.

Thx Tom.👍 Wow 200 million views & 40 million reactions....what all at once?😯
@@GaryHolloway-810 Yes, Gary! All at once -- in the relative cosmic scale of space and time! 🧐
Band-Maid and The Warning together on stage June 12th in Tokyo! 🗼 Not too long of a plane ride for you! You still have time, Po! 🕊️Hop to it! 🦘
Wallaby damned, you've already started with the Oz jokes :)
Welcome to the BandMaid experience! The greatest proper rock and roll band of the 21st century. Here's some opinions and facts:
•Bass solos are more likely to happen than not. There's a bass solo on their very first video!
•Guitar solos are shorter, far shorter than you would like them to be
•Unless you are superhuman, you will not/ can not be able to pick up everything they're doing to make that song great on the first listen.
•Genre? Genres?? We don' need no stinkin" genre!
•You like a hard rocking crazy fast tune? Well how about it done as a slower acoustic version? They do that.
•April Fools Day 2019
As a joke they recorded a redo of Secret my Lips with traditional instruments and with lyrics in a Kyoto dialect. MV is stunningly beautiful.
•The linchpin member of the band gets the least notice/praise. The Mighty Miku Kobato founder/lead singer steps back to make way for a new more hard rock vocalist. They want her to hold a guitar so she does and learns to play on the fly, performing all the while she's learning. So the person who willed the band into existence, who is the primary lyricist, the only member who sings and plays an instrument most of the time gets the least comments from reactors. Oh yeah she has her own signature model guitar from Zematis (after playing less than 10 yrs)
•There is no "I" in BANDMAID. Well ok there is one "I" but my point is the songs are written by BandMaid. Not just Kanami Tono. The highly innovative bass and drum lines are created by Akane and MISA. There are no George songs and John&Paul songs. There are only BandMaid songs.
•10 plus years with the same line up. Think about that.
•More hooks, riffs and motifs in many songs than most bands have on an album. Check it out. No hyperbole.
•Use of puns, wordplay using homophones between Japanese and English are not the exception. They are typical of Kobato's lyrics.
•Despite the fact that their LIVE videos are superior to the official studio MV"s the latter are excellent. Funny, graphic, innovative and stunningly beautiful works of art describe what you get with BandMaid's official MV's.
•As close to the Beatles in terms of unique persona of the members as any group since the Monkees. MISA is quiet and drinks. Akane is happy and eats, Miku is klutzy and CUTE, Kanami is an airhead who crushes on Saiki and Saiki was the Ice Queen. But the Ice Queen has thoroughly thawed. See Yokohama's Endless Story! Their image is carefully crafted or spontaneous or both.
•Many songs have catch phrases or singalong sections to engage the audience. Many songs are in English and Japanese.Most songs are full of joy as well.
•They're having a ball. They enjoy performing. They enjoy the fans. They enjoy each other.
•Make no mistake, this is not a regular band.
And a thing about the maid outfits, Adam: as Fans and Maidiacs know, Miku -- the 2nd guitarist, lyricist, founder and who worked at a maid cafe -- wanted to show that everyday working "Kawaii" girls dressed as maids in high heels while having fun and smiling could rock as hard as any guy band sweating it up in their hip, poor tortured artists "outfits"... and by showing that contrast (the Gap), it would generate interest, which it so successfully has done! It also represents Woman Power (Equality), which is an important theme with the Maids.
Now they show up as Maids for all band business and interviews, etc. and have created a long-lasting, unmistakable, visual band brand. Very cleaver, Miku. Your diabolical plan for world domination is working, Po! Of course, none of this would work if their music and stage performance wasn't at such a remarkably high level. Band-Maid is considered by many of their fans and Maidiacs to be the best hard rock band in the world - maid outfits and all!
Welcome & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 I witnessed this very performance at the venue on Nov.26, last year. Very exciting 3-hour-40-minute-long show with 33-song setlist. (Happy fatigue thereafter 😄)
Band-Maid is one of the best bands in our country, especially in live performance. We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". The history is very long and the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Speaking of hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since as early as 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 started earlier than rock 😄
Wow first off LOVE your set up one of the best screen shots for a reaction I've seen on YT well put together.
Kind of a luke warm reaction however but don't feel too bad, Band Maid ages like fine Macallan whisky, and the more you hear the more you hear i.e. there's a lot to unpack.
With your set up you have a nice foothold keep on keepin on.
Thanx, that means a lot. If my reactions ever seem underwhelming, it's because I'm fully immersed in the song, that's all. Sometimes, I forget I'm even recording. LOL.
Welcome to Maid`s world!
Their genre is band-maid ・・・・・・・・・
Please check out their live performances of : Domination, Freedom, Play, Turn Me On, Day Dreaming, Don't You Tell Me, etc.....
Why HATE? You ask ? Well, it's a classic Band Maid play on words...The Japanese word for "huh?" sounds like "hate" ! 😁
Thank you for reacting to the greatest rock band on the planet. Japanese bands historically mix English and Japanese lyrics in their rock music. It's kinda like tradition.
Best band on the planet 🤘🎎🤘🎎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Keep on rocking with the Maids, you won't regret it. The Pigeon-hole is deep and diverse. Enjoy the journey...and welcome to the wonderful world of Band-Maid. PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘
Butlers...no Butlers...or it would have been Band-Maids and Butlers. Or Band-Servants...🤣🤣🤣
You will not believe how much great music you have in front of you
Thanks for the reaction and comments. These ladies are FIRE!!!!! Arguably the best live rock band on the planet, their stage presence is unrivaled and is at a level most other bands only dream of ever achieving. Would like to #Request the official live video of either Moratorium, Play, Real Existence or Domination. Thanks.
MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃 Badass Bass Assassin and Band-Maid are the best Hard Rock band in the world right now in my opinion 🤙🏽
"Ever" imaro (in my always right opinion😂) :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 💯% correct 🤙🏽
Goddess of Thunder
Ms. Mystique
She'd scare treble offa tha music sheet
ahhhh absolutely NO argument from me
@@GaryHolloway-810 ahhhh absolutely NO argument from me (again) IMARO
You don't realize it yet.....but you just heard the best current rock band on the planet !!!!!!
Adam idk if i walked into an Oz pub as an English guy to quench my considerable thirst & you were sitting at the bar whether i should be afraid in case you thought i was your butler.😂 Seeing as you asked i think BAND-MAID are damned awesome :)
Gary, while I think you could buttle as well as anyone it would be wasting your talent as a writer. I must admit this was only posted for the opportunity to use "buttle" as a verb. So there.
@@Oedwak Haha😂 It's ok "Buttle" is a good word :)
Arigato for doing your research, Po! Great 1st reaction, Sir! 🦍🍌 Btw, they do have "butlers." It's their tremendous and dedicated support staff, Po! We must honor them for keeping Band Maid going forward and upwards.
Best Hard rock band on the planet. Domination love 2020 a good track to follow up
Band Maid doing Band Maid things...
Welcome to the Maidiacs.
they had more of a maid look towards the beginning of their 11 year run but then developed their own individual look as time went on. vocalist saiki never preferred that look for herself - other than the small hat with a flower - and fairly quickly went to a black outfit that has evolved. and bassist misa known as the barefoot assassin because she doesn't wear shoes on stage also went away from the maid look. rhythm guitarist and backup vocalist miku is the only one that kept the true maid outfit as she worked in a japanese maid cafe before starting the band. lead guitarist kanami stayed with the outfit until recently and she and drummer akane have also evolved. and miku never played guitar until kanami taught her around 2014 - 2015. she was originally the main vocalist until saiki came on board
Nice reaction greeting from germany
This performance is
amazing❗️😆😆😆❤❤❤
Looking at you you might notice that the structure of this song is surf rock. Kanami does this, takes this kind of thing and mashes it with motorhead.
You were half-right about their looks.😜 I think I might be biased in saying they're the best band this century, but it's only because after over a decade of cynicism towards new music, especially rock, this band made me love music again. This isn't even a top 50 studio track, no joke. Neither is Domination, but I'm gonna suggest the live version next because it is a staple of their live shows and you'll quickly realize why. Domination LIVE (not the MV). Trust me, friend; you'll be a maidiac in no time. 😁
They are great, aren't they? 😅 These ladies are masters at their instruments: Kanami (composer and lead guitar), Akane (drums) and Misa (bass). Then there is lead vocalist Saiki who is perfect for the Band Maid sound and Miku Kobato (rythm guitar, pure energy, most lyrics, fantastic backing vocals and harmonies). Miku wasn't able to play the guitar when she founded the bandin 2013.
I don't know of any other band where the fans' playlists differ so much. So, this is just a quite random selection of songs: For some very special live videos try Freedom, Play, Real existence and Endless Story. With Moratorium (Live at Zepp), Rinne (MV) and Dice you can hear more hard rock while more catchy songs are Choose me (MV), Bestie (MV) and Alone (MV). And if you want to hear some ballads then maybe About Us (MV) and Daydreaming (MV) are good picks. But don't miss some of their instrumentals like From now on (MV) and Onset (Live). And finally a very special live performance is Manners/Blackhole (Official Online Live)🍌 And there is more: For example the songs with Miku in lead, their christmas acoustic concert and the 'cover band' Band-Maiko ;-)
But if you want to start at the beginning of their career (2013-2017) then go with Thrill (MV, their first video), Real Existence (second video), Alone (MV, first own composition), Freedom(best LIVE performance), Choose Me, Play (LIVE!), ...
Some other band recommendations? Then try "The Sixsters" from Ukraine (Pick any song) and "Gacharic Spin" from Japan (song: "Mindset").
Have fun... Po
Could you tell me some of the soft rock 90s bands they sound like? I'm always on the lookout for bands that sound like Band-Maid. Thanks!
Have you heatd of Garbage?
@@adamreacts78they sound nothing like Garbage. Funnily enough, when I was hospitalized and woke up in Madison (I’m from nearby Illinois) first thing I thought of was the band Garbage.
BAND-MAID have consider themselves to be Hard Rock, but they have no genre. Their "Sound" jumps all over the place. The Ramones they are not. More like The Beatles with influences and songs all over the place, from soft acoustic ballads to Super Heavy and everything in between.
A guide to everything BAND-MAID: www.youtube.com/@Ohrenje
Thanx.
I have the feeling that you were not really "caught" by the band at first.
But no problem. Their repertoire is very wide. Listen to a few tracks from them and maybe one of them will "get you".
(I wonder what you think of their instrumentals. There are quite a few.)
From Hungary.
I'm usually like that when I listen to a band for the first time. I want to know exactly what I'm getting into. Needless to say, I was very impressed.
You have checked out Band Maid know check out the band Lovebites another Japanese all girl metal band with there songs Holy War and Set The World On Fire.
a lot of Japanese bands utilize English in their lyrics. I believe part of is due to rock music flowing better with English and another is to reach their English fanbases (it is a primarily English genre after all)
#Request band-maid Moratorium. Live or studio, doesn't matter. Though live is usually preferred!
Ikaros, let me add a bit more as a Japanese.
The reason why we use English in lyrics is from our language problem.
For example, we don't have exact word for ”I miss you”. We understand the feeling of that word but we can't translate it in Japanese correctly. So it is easy for us to use "I miss you" in English. One more reason is sound of words. "I hate you" is good example. We can translate it in Japanese, but the sound of this translated Japanese words doesn't fit to the music.
If you imagine ”Que sera, sera", it is more easier for you to understand. This is the same opinion with Ikaros. Ikaros, thank you for great explaination about Japanese music. I respect and appreciate your knowledge of Japanese music.
And my request for next is "Freedom (Live)" and "Real Existance (Live)".
@@mootod that is a good point! I appreciate the information, it's always interesting to know why songs are written the way they are!
Thanx to both of you. That is very interesting & explains a lot.
😍
“Let’s see how this goes I guess?”
LOL. So how’d it go? Was that acceptable for you?
If you’d like a little more convincing, try “SHAMBLES” “MANNERS” or “FROM NOW ON.”
Lol. Very acceptable.
Soft rock bands from the 90s? Oy vey!
Thank you for nice reaction.

Hi 👋 from the UK something you might like to check out the band is called Nightwish it's a symphonic metal band from Finland with a Dutch singer floor jansen (the vakyrie) This band has a massive following in Europe and the Internet the go to song to start your Nightwish journey down the rabbit hole is
Nightwish ghost love score wacken open air concert 2013 official music video
And prepare for the Nightwish army arriving at the door 🚪 lol 😊
So, actually anything to say about the video? The band? The music?
I've heard 1 or 2. My partner likes them & has beento 1 of their gigs. I'll check that one out. I'm still on the fence with them, so we'll seenwhat happens.
@richardhall6034
There are plenty of Nightwish reaction videos out there, so there's no need to go this far to promote it. If you like this BAND-MAID reaction, please take this opportunity to promote it on other reaction channels🙏
WTF are you laughing at? The maid outfits are cool. Someone with your face really shouldn't be laughing at people's appearances.
Wow. Is that best insult you can come up with. Nice try.
& I laugh, it's what I do. I wasn't laughing AT them, that couldn't be further from the truth. I laugh a lot. I laugh when I'm sad, when I'm scared, I'm excited, I'm happy.
Anyway, maybe you could go back to preschool & learn some proper insults. Till then, have a nice life.
Stop smoking burlap bags, it is impairing your judgement. You sh*t on the song title with your snarky smart a$$ mocking. If an artist wants to use all caps nothing wrong with that. Control freaks like to demonize all caps. Why, CNN has been running all caps 24/7 for decades?
Hahahaha... Yeah man! He is not conscius about what is in front of him. The best rock band of the century, with The Warning and, maybe, Lovebites, and he is laughing, smiling, with this kind of soft western arrogance...
my man it's not that deep
@@IkarosTypeAlphaAre you Asian? Do you live with anti Asian racism. Don't tell me what I experience. Just because you can't phantom something doesn't mean it isn't deep for me.
What's so funny...now?
I've just found another great act.
