At this moment, among any rock band yes. they are progressive rock i assume. glad more femal fans find them. please note this is a great way for female enpowerment. you saw what i mean. they are more powerful, fast, aggressive than any bands
@@YS-co6pz I wouldn't classify Band Maid as "progressive rock" in the traditional sense of the term, but their music IS very progressive. If that makes sense ...
The best way to describe Band Maid (Imo) is they are the real deal, the complete package. They write nearly all of their own music: lead guitarist Kanami writes the music, harmony guitarisr/having vocalist Miku writes the lyrics. Misa, the bassist had a side range of techniques in her repertoire including using a pick, finger style, and slapping. Her choices are based on the style of song, and the tone of her bass. Akane, the drummer, is the kind of drummer you can use to calibrate an atomic clock. Jimmy Page heard her in Tokyo in 2016 and was so impressed that he went backstage after the show to meet her. And Saiki's voice is simply amazing, she has three registers I've heard, and diaphragm support the separate her from many singers. Live take to check out (all from their official channel): Domination, Play, Don't You Tell ME, Freedom and Onset.
You need to watch them play live, they are even better - Domination, Moratorium, Onset, Play, Real Existence... Band Maid is the best rock band on the planet, with the best rhythm section. As a bassist, you'll quickly learn to appreciate Misa and Akane's skills. Misa often switches between picking, slapping, and finger style in the same song. Kanami is an incredible guitarist, and an even better composer. Miku is the lyricist and rhythm guitar player, only picked up the guitar when the band started. Saiki is incredible, and has been unleashed after some polyp surgery.
Since you're a bassist you'll obviously fall in love with MISA but you'll also quickly fall in love with Akane on the drums. Those two are such a killer rhythm section. Chops for days and ideas for miles.
Welcome princess! Misa is known for effortlessly switching between picking and slapping while playing her base. You can clearly see it in their live performance of 'Onset' instrumental video on their official channel. Enjoy. There is a lot.

Thanks for reacting, formed in 2013 by Rhythn Guitarist and vocalist Miku Kobato. Seven Major releases so far three mini albums and four full albums with the last released Digitally on the 13th this year With a Physical release on the 20th. The idea behind the band is the contrast between the visuals and then the sound and also the sound and the lyrics. Members (ages between 24 to 30) Akane Hirose ;- Drums (A-chan. the beast,Gorilla) Saiki Atsume :- Vocals (Sai-chan) MISA :- Bass :- (the Assasin. Misa, Misa, Misa) Kanami Tono :- Guitars (Mincho, main songwriter) Miku Kobato :- Rhythm Guitar, Vocals, Lyricist (Small Pigeon, wide shoulders, strong grip, Karuppo) Kobato in Japanese can be interpreted as small pigeon and Miku never met a pun she didn't like or a chance to mess with peoples heads Po!!. Also they have a slightly twisted sense of humour, for example the single Alone was released on Valentines day, and for the last two years on April fools day they rename themselves, the bands social media as Band Maiko where they dress as apprentice geisha's and release a video of a song written in the geisha dialect with some traditional instruments in it. Relentless live band due to having played basically anywhere they could plug in they also tend to add extra parts to the songs live , The costumes might have got their foot in the door but they have earned what they have gotten the old fashioned way, Worked hard, Toured hard, and constantly look to improve.

Do yourself a favor and peruse their official channel for their live performances. They absolutely shine in that environment! (Btw, Misa slaps on the bass too...)
welcome to the army of Madiacs! Misa the bassist (a.k.a. The Barefoot Assassin Maid) actually revolutionized the bass play: she turned the bass guitar into a starring instrument: she plays a bass lead where it fits; she can switch between picking, slapping/popping, finger picking and even tapping, sometimes within the same song live seamlessly in a blink of an eye. Band-Maid already released 100+ songs (mostly composed/written by themselves) ranking from good ones to the masterpieces. There is not a single stinker/filler in their catalog. So be ready for an incredible journey into the world of Band-Maid rock.
@@tommcfall1274 I didn't say she invented lead bass. I meant she elevated the role of the bass from just an accompaniment to a starring instrument as a lead guitar is. She made it glamorous. Not so many people who know Yes and Who can name their bassists, but everybody knows Steve Howe and Pete Townshend. Misa changed this trend forever.
@@st.g422 you said "revolutionized bass" , I was just pointing out that there were bass monsters long before her who revolutionized the bass but thank god she is a bass goddess. We are just mincing words here. Misa and this entire band are so incredible!!!!!!!
@@tommcfall1274 Of course Misa is not the first ground-breaker bassist. There is a bunch of other great ones, but their names are barely known to mainstream public. I can recall only one glamorous rock star bassist: Flea. The other rock stars like Paul McCartney, Suzi Quatro, Lemmy, Geddy Lee are more famous like front man/woman singers + bass players.
Can't believe I forgot to say to check out their live instrumental, Onset. I call it the closer. If you are not a fan after seeing that, you never will be!
Welcome aboard, Signe. You are embarking on (along with many others - over 95 million YT views!) an awesome 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 Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Consistency (over a 100 songs with their latest album, “Unseen World”, Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destine 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 50 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: th-cam.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/w-d-xo.html Their later songs drive even more - Manners, Different, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Glory, 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, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, Mirage and Smile... or more punky like Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or a bit jazzy like Wonderland… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts! And many are represented with over 30 well produced music videos. th-cam.com/users/BANDMAID Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE concerts such as Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA on February 14th (“Domination” th-cam.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/w-d-xo.html), ZEPP 2018, Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 and some of the better 2019 tour Fan vids. Here’s three of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at super intimate venues. The first taken by Vladimir Chupin in Hamburg: th-cam.com/video/__1th7ctgMo/w-d-xo.html, the second taken by JT Dayo in LA: th-cam.com/video/4uIYBkAybCI/w-d-xo.html, and third, JOSER8845 in LA: th-cam.com/video/usWZvlGGDSs/w-d-xo.html. If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, 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, 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. For fun, check out an awesome, little known "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009 Band-Maid members are: (Ages are best est.). Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements, melodies and High Priestess mediator between the Gods (Band Members) and the masters and princesses (Fans). At 26 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Leader) as Miku calls her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away the persona. Her charisma, performance and voice focus the experience. Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 29 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. Kurrupo! No, no, no… KURRUPO!! Kanami Tono (Ka-Naw-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 29 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, 30 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 “DrumRilla” is the Party! MISA (Me-Sa) "Assassin" - Bass, 28 years old. A sullen, barefoot, dark spirit driving her 5-string bottom-end to hell and back, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. The Mysterious One 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! WATCH BAND-MAID PLAY THEIR LATEST HIT SINGLES "DIFFERENT" AND "AFTER LIFE!" In case you missed it... their live online was beyond expectations - and they were already stratospheric! Tightest, baddest, kickassest band on earth!

The bassist MISA frequently switches between picking and slapping mid song. If you watch their live stuff you can see her doing it. She frequently gets solos in songs and in general she doesn't play a standard bass role. She almost plays a lead bass role. You'll see her constantly moving up and down the neck.
MISA plays with a pick, and plucks too. In fact in the track Onset (a live instrumental, on their channel) she does both...in the middle of the same solo. She does a bit of slapping from time to time for good measure. There are better bass players than MISA. There are better guitarists than Kanami. There are better drummers than Akane. What you'll struggle to find is a band who have all three at their level.
Congratulations on discovering Band Maid, best rock band to come along in decades! Don't let the imagery fool you, as they are incredibly talented and versatile. You are in for an incredibly fun ride! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
Best Hard rock band on the Planet, no exceptions. They can play anything from soft Rock, through Jazz and funk Rock, traditional blues rock, and metal. They make ridiculously complex music, I don't think they've ever played a song where the second verse didn't have some form of variation, rarely stick to the usual western formula of verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/chorus to fade. They have legitimately 30 tracks that are better than anything the US has produced in 20 years. MISA often switches from pick to slap mid solo. Other really good Japanese bands in no particular order: Lovebites, Aldious, Ningen Isu, Maximum the hormone, Fern Planet, Trident and Babymetal (if you are into that sort of thing). Welcome to the Pigeon hole!
MISA is the name of the bass player. She plays a signature “Black Smoker” bass made by Black cloud guitars. Suggestions? Dice, Blooming, Rinne for studio. But you should hear them live - Freedom, Onset, Play, Wonderland and Domination. The band are: Saiki Atsumi. Lead vox Miku Kobato. Rhythm guitar and backing vox Akane Hirose. Drums Kanami Tono. Lead guitar MISA. Bass guitar As far as other J-metal or J-rock bands go, check out Gacharic spin - they’re a lot of fun and awesome players. Their bassist, F chopper Koga is a beast. I like their video for “Generation Gap”(choose the one from 3 months ago) Of course there is Baby Metal - check out “Rondo of Nightmares with Mischief of gods intro” Finally, Wagaki band. There’s a video of them performing their song “Homura” live that was pretty incredible. Have fun falling down the J-rock rabbit hole!
The bass player's name is Misa. She is called the barefoot assassin. She plays barefoot and drinks whiskey and will melt your face with her bass. In real existence she slaps and plays with a pick. she palms it when she slaps. You don't know how good she is yet because this song isn't bass heavy
It's actually Domnination live where she slaps and picks and you can see her switching the pick into her palm. Also the intro to Play - th-cam.com/video/3LxX_t4vg7U/w-d-xo.html has incredible bass playing
The Bass Player MISA plays with a pick and slaps in the same song and changes from one to the other very quickly! From a radio interview - - (Chris): What amazed me most about your play style is the changing of picking to slapping, and then picking again so smoothly. Some bassists may throw their picks away to slap, but you use the same pick when you change from slapping to picking again, right? (Misa): No, I don't throw my pick away. I have become better as I practiced. For the recent 2-3 years, I haven't lost any pick. (Chris): Show me how. (Misa): I keep the pick with my index finger and palm. (Chris): Then you slap the bass with your thumb and middle finger? Can you show me how you play? (then Misa shows how) (Misa): Because I've been practicing these days, I can change faster than ever. (Chris): You are mixing them up! That's awsome! (Misa): I think anybody can do it if you practice. Misa - BASS GUITAR plays Black Cloud "Smoker" and Privat Reserve (SG Style) bass - Orange AB200B MKIII Amps When you watch Domination - replay it slowly and you will see MISA switch exactly as she explained it in the interview.
Welcome to the wonderful world of the talented Hard Rock band, Band-Maid. These group of ladies have captivated fans all over the world with their hard hitting music with very catchy chorus. Their entire discography is full of amazing songs. They write and compose their music/songs. They are also a phenomenal live band. You definitely need to check a few more of their songs. if you end up liking them, I can see you doing an entire series on their songs. "Our rock never dies, ever. Forever!" - Nuff said...long live rock...long live Band-Maid! 🤘🤘🤘.
@@johnnylaroux9517 Lol. Only started that line with "Manners". Thought, it would be fun. But I guess it started becoming synonymous with my comments. Also, sometimes other's beat me to it, so as to not be rude, I have to change it up a bit. Gotta play nice. We are all here to support these wonderful ladies.
I see a lot of people have written a lot about them. I used to work as a session bassist for about 10 year. The first time I heard the bassist, Misa, I was mindblown. I honestly can't think of very many that are at her level playing this kind of music. There are a lot of bassists that would use half of what she does in this song as a solo. She does that without it getting chaotic or show offy. Would love to hear you do a video of this! I'm glad you gave Saiki, the singer, a lot of love. She's sometimes get a bit forgotten because people tend to get so blown away by the musicians. You really should check out their live stuff. I'd recommend 'Domination' as a good start!
These girls are the best I found them about 2 yrs ago and a day hasn't gone by that I haven't listened to them i start my day with them its better than coffee
Misa, the bass player, uses a pick, then can transition to slapping flawlessly. Misa is know as The Barefoot Assassin and is one of the best bass players on the planet! If this is your first experience with Band Maid, get ready for a long and wonderful ride! For some great bass, try Dice! Band Maid, five Japanese ladies that will rock your world, best rock band on the planet at the moment. Please do a bass cover, that would be very cool, Misa deserves it!
She said recently in an interview its been more than two years since she dropped a pick, as you say her transition between the two is on another level,,,
MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! the Barefoot Bass Assassin and the rest of the band is , Miku Kobato AKA Pigeon ( band founder worked at maid café ) Rhythm guitar 2nd vocals / lyrics , Kanami Tono Lead guitar / shredder writes n arranges music , Akane Hirose AKA Gorilla Drums , Saiki Atsumi AKA Ice Queen , Lead Vocals . fan base known as Maidiac`s .
MISA! MISA! MISA! Holding the line in Solid Guitar Rock, Band Maid has picked up the Mantle of Rock'n'Roll where the West has left it behind!! More Band Maid Always!! Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
Glad you found Band-Maid. As a 40-yr bassist, I believe MISA is one of the best rock bassists on the scene right now. She is a monster and drives the band. Pick any other BM song. You will enjoy
Welcome to the best hard rock band in the world. They will rock your world and steal your heart - and they deserve SO much more recognition, so thank you for reacting to them! Every one of these ladies is at a high level skill-wise, and their songwriting ability is just ridiculous, which you'll find out when you try to find a bad song that they did - and you can't even find one that's less than great.
As a musician of 56 plus years I have been following Band-Maid since 2014 and I believe they are the most talented women on the planet IMO. Miku Kobato the rhythm guitar player is the lyricist and founder of the band they call her (pigeon). The lead guitarist is the writer and composer of 95 percent of their music. MISA the bass player and Akane the drummer both went to the same prestigious music school together. Saiki the lead vocals was added when Miku thought her voice wasn't strong enough for the lead vocals. I'm going to paste a bio from PRS guitars below from them about Kanami Tono, she is incredible. Born in a town near Yokohama, Japan, Kanami began playing piano at the age of 3. Though she continued her keyboard lessons for more than 20 years, it wasn’t until she saw a female guitarist that she found her calling. Under the tutelage of this inspiration, she was a quick learner and found herself pursuing various genres: hard rock, latin rock, funk, fusion. Upon entering college, feeling that finding band members who all had the same skill level and same musical direction would be challenging, she found herself performing solo gigs. It was about this time that the videos she had posted to TH-cam caught Miku (“Kobato”, Band-Maid founder)’s eye. She would get to play lead and wouldn’t have to sing, just the perfect criteria for Kanami. Thus, Band-Maid was born. Her favorite guitarists include Carlos Santana and Larry Carlton. She credits Carlos for her own use of pentatonic scales in her lead solos.
I really liked your reaction, BAND-MAID is the best rock band in the world. you have no idea what you started and welcome to the wonderful world of BAND-MAID.
Misa slaps, strums, picks, and will grasp her pick between middle and index when not picking. She switches between styles frequently. Yes, watch more Band-Maid, all their songs are good. They do mostly hard rock and they do it very well. But watch out for their slow, sad songs, on which the two vocalists really shine. "About Us" and "Page" come to mind. "Daydreaming" is another one.
Them ladies right now are probably Japan's finest hard rock/grrrl-rock/jrock export and if you can find the time to do a series on 'em, ALL of their MVs in there in their channel ARE ALL HITS NO MISSES I bet my 2 acres on that. You can also check out another young all girls Japanese band TRiDENT with their latest Brand New World if you can find the time later. Stay safe, healthy and happy ya.
You're gonna love it they don't do bad songs, you should check the live version of Freedom. For another band to check out Lovebites they are a power metal band and are extremely good.
If someone would have told me 10 years ago that one of my favorite bands would be 5 Japanese women in maid outfits I would have laughed in their face. Yet, here we are. They are special. Enjoy the journey, I think you'll fall in love with them pretty quickly. Misa (the bassist) is a Tokyo School of Music grad (as is the drummer Akane) so... :-)
I can name quit a few for you: Wagakki band, Scandal, Girlfriend, Babymetal, Kanon Wakeshima, Ayumi Hamasaki, Kokia, Kalafina, Sound Horizon, Linked Horizon, X-Japan, Fiction Junction, Oreskaband, Charan po rantan, Anza Ōyama and later her band HeadPhones President (HPP), Fate Gear, Stereopony, Zone, Yousei teikoku (translates as Fairy kingdom) and the virtual 'idol' Hatsune Miku for the Vocaloid.
Kanami mentioned in a recent interview that covid19 lockdowns has turned her into a "riff machine". Akane, Misa as well, also mentioned they took this period as a unique opportunity to work on their current "lackings" in drums and bass. Miku Kobato spoke about how this forced idle times without concerts has given her the opportunity to write many songs lyrics. Saiki did not say much, but all the fans can hear her significant vocal improvement over the last year. The whole band worked at improving their musical cohesion. So this albuml is truly excellent. I must admit I was slightly concerned following the issue of Conqueror in which I saw a transition album, hoping our beloved ladies were not loosing their incredible creativity momemtum. I am fully reassured now and even thinking a better Band-Maid is just coming ahead.
I understand what you’re saying and I’m not disagreeing but I do think the explorations on Conqueror, the softer elements and more expansive soundscapes, despite maybe a few less exciting tunes, is exactly the thing that makes a band better and better. Rush was famous for taking that type of approach, one exploratory album (Permanent Waves) followed by a more cohesive, refined album (Moving Pictures) that raised their overall level in songwriting, composing, arrangement, etc. I hope Band Maid keeps following that approach and we get a more exploratory album after the refinements of Unseen World. I think it’ll serve them well in the long run, imho. 🤷🏻♂️🤘🏼🎸
MISA, the bassist, an unusual technique where she switches back and forth between pick and slap instantly, and back again. She holds the pick in her hand without losing it.
Check out Band-Maid's music videos "Blooming" or "Dice." Their live music is just as good. For something more mellow, "Endless Story" or "Daydreaming". Misa plays with a pick and slap - sometimes changing between each in a given song.
Yes ! Do some bass covers of Band Maid . Misa the bassist for the band is known as the " Bare Foot Assassin . Because she kills it on the bass . Misa is one of the best modern bassists in hard rock today . Try listen to their live concert vids of Domination , Play and moratorium to start with . All the ladies in this band are extremely talented and the music they write is mind blowingly good . One of the best bands world wide .
Since you have only done one, you can pretty much pick at random. They have that many good songs. Their live stuff is exceptional though. For more of the Barefoot Assassin bass of Misa, I suggest Play, Dice, and even their first hit, Thrill. You can see how far they have come. For other bands, I recommend Polkadot Stingray, Glim Spanky, Trident, Scandal.
You have a good ear. I enjoyed your analysis of this song. You should definitely check out some of their live performances. BAND-MAID has a special energy live that doesn't get captured in their studio recordings. This is one of their simpler songs (especially in comparison to the rest of this new album). Their music can get really dense. They are very creative. Enjoy your BAND-MAID journey!
Best Rock band in the world today! Kanami the lead guitarist is the one composing most of their stuff and she is a genius at it. As you will soon discover, they dont have a bad song, also they released a new album this week witch is fantastic (this is the first single from the album). I dont know if you're into metal but if you are take a look at Lovebites, female metal band also from Japan. Try Raise Some Hell or Edge of the World, both Live. Thanks for great reaction and stay safe!
Hello there, enjoyed your reaction. MISA, the bassist, uses a pick and does slap, often alternating in the same song. Band Maid really shines live. I would suggest Play (live), Wonderland (live) and Onset (live-instrumental). Peace out and have fun!
Greeting from Japan! I’m very glad you getting like BAND-MAID. Your analysis of musical structure is quite amazing. This is the very first time to watch on a reaction channel with such a deep analysis! Please try more BAND-MAID songs. There are bunch of good songs and live version as well. Maybe “Domination (live)” or “Onset” next...
Welcome to the BandMaid world where YES you are a Princess. 2 years for me I am a BANDMAIDIAC. Best song for me is Blooming so I suggest for review and also Daydreaming, but anything is fair game as they have over 60 songs and all are good.
J-Metal and J-Rock is full and I mean FULL of great bands many of which are all female including: Band Maid, hard rock see them live, Domination Mary’s Blood, metal Marionette live, my favorite of the metal bands, incredible shredder Nemophilia, Metal Oiran mv Bridear Metal Light in the Dark mv Lovebites Metal When Destines Align mv Fates Gear, Metal Headless Goddess mv Female fronted bands Babymetal, Metal biggest of them all and really opened the door to Japanese metal for many, Megitsune mv or Road of Resistance live, a band that is great live Unlucky Morpheus Metal, Black Pentagram mv Iron Bunny Metal, 23 mv Male fronted bands Maximum the Hormone, genre who the fuck knows, Yoshu Fokushu mv Ninjen Isu, Metal, Heartless Scat mv Crystal Lake, Metal AEON, mv Dir En Grey, Metal Vinushka mv Hell I feel bad leaving so many other bands off here.
Everyone is writing various things, and A little supplement. BAND-MAID was formed around spring to summer 2013. October / 2013 Hand-painted leaflet Akane, distributed by the band in Harajuku. They write "talented rock maid band". band-maid.up.seesaa.net/image/201320E6898BE4BD9CE3828AE38381E383A9E382B7_R-thumbnail2.jpg "Maid in Japan" Released January 8, 2014 Single "愛と情熱のマタドール" Released August 13, 2014 track 2 "Thrill" track3 "Summer Drive" And, as they sought the direction of the band, they chose a harder rock direction, and for that reason, the first MV was shot instead of the single "愛と情熱のマタドール" , "Thrill" was selected. The MV for "Thrill" was officially uploaded in November 2014. th-cam.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo However, the band is sluggish. From "Engadget Fes 2014 Winter" on November 24, 2014. This is a video of BAND-MAID during the slump, performing an acoustic live (unavoidably) in a small event space instead of a live house. Miku says, "Please remember just the name." Still, you can see how high everyone's playing skills are. th-cam.com/video/6AhzOrnLMWs/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo 2015, spring to summer Kanami and Akane participate in "もちとちーず". Perhaps they are valued for their musical talent by their agency and asked to participate in "もちとちーず". And KANAMI and AKANE temporarily belonged to both of those two bands. Kanami is also composing there. th-cam.com/video/WyWiYPE8qUY/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=%E3%82%82%E3%81%A1%E3%81%A8%E3%81%A1%E3%83%BC%E3%81%9A th-cam.com/video/j_lyFFCKYlY/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=%E3%82%82%E3%81%A1%E3%81%A8%E3%81%A1%E3%83%BC%E3%81%9A Suddenly, "THRILL" was a hit on the internet in April 2015, and the band has been energetically performing live throughout 2015, but without that "THRILL" hit,Kanami and Akane went to "もちとちーず" and BAND-MAID may have disappeared. However, BAND-MAID held up. And "New Beginning" Released November 18, 2015 It also includes "Thrill" and "Real Existence", the official MV for. However, at this time, the lyrics and composition were still outsourced. "Real Existence" has been officially uploaded to LIVE in 2018. th-cam.com/video/-qQnKILR5u0/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo "Brand New MAID" Released May 18, 2016 Official MV "the non-fiction days","Before Yesterday" are included. And for the first time in "alone", the song created by the system of lyrics Miku and composition Kanami was recorded. After the next album, most of the songs will be songs made by this Miku Kanami system. Since 2016, sold-outs have started to occur in small live houses, and in March 2016, they firsttime performed live overseas. Although they were invited to the J-ANIME and MANGA festivals. "Just Bring It" Released January 11, 2017 Official MV "YOLO" and etc. And November 2017 The first LIVE.BLU-RAY (DVD) was recorded. The BLU-RAY of this concert contains a wonderful and energetic performance of a young band riding an updraft. The rarely talked about "Take me higher" "Puzzle" is also included here. However, it is currently unavailable and no songs have been posted on the official channel. It's hard to understand why the company doesn't publish such a great live record. This BLU-RAY, "World Domination" Released February 14, 2018 Only released as the first limited edition. And The first limited edition of the single version Start Over released in July 2018 also comes with a LIVE.BLU-RAY (DVD) at zepp tokyo in 2018, and some of the contents include "Real Existans" "Cross" and "Onset". It is published on the official channel. This blu-ray is also currently unavailable. th-cam.com/video/mVrN-j_Uc0U/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo th-cam.com/video/yQn4IMr56zY/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo However, these two live albums may be reissued because the band's affiliated company has changed recently. But, depending on the situation at the time of contract, there is a risk that these two excellent BLU-RAYs will be buried in the darkness forever. The full video of these two concerts still remains on the Chinese video site (BILIBILI), which does not consider copyright. It's currently not available at a fair price, so I think it's morally permissible to watch it on this site. www.bilibili.com/video/BV1ot411A7F4?from=search&seid=13820528338690159253 www.bilibili.com/video/BV1aW411X7bW?from=search&seid=3444951182625860377 And "WORLD DOMINATION" Released February 14, 2018. "CONQUEROR" Released December 11, 2019 The next work was released as a video work BLU-RAY (DVD). Most of the songs included in it are from these two albums. And "World Domination Tour [Shinka] at Line Cube Shibuya February 14,2020" Released April, It was released as a video work. LIVE.BLU-RAY(DVD). Official upload, "Domination""Freedom""Choose me""Play""Wonderland". th-cam.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo th-cam.com/video/FHpuEqMAcDg/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo th-cam.com/video/HcqitbXgigU/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo th-cam.com/video/3LxX_t4vg7U/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo th-cam.com/video/x4hxLeHbqZo/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo And band-maid is planning their first solo concert at Nippon Budokan in February. A solo concert at Nippon Budokan has the same meaning as a solo concert at Madison Square Garden in the United States in Japan. Raised by the company, the company provides songs, the company trains, the company promotes, the company collaborates with each media, many companies co-sponsor, many concerts at the large capacity Nippon Budokan or some Arena There are several groups that do. BABY-METAL is one of them. For them, it's just a big concert. However, BAND-MAID won the right to a solo concert at Nippon Budokan by pursuing their own music and continuing their live performances by facing the audience directly. Only with the efforts of the band. Starting from that leaflet in 2013. And now Unfortunately, the concert at Nippon Budokan has been cancelled. The world is in a difficult situation right now, but I pray for the success of BAND-MAID. I think the appeal of BAND-MAID is all about live performances. At BAND-MAID, the high ability of CALL & RESPONCE, which has been cultivated by continuing to play at a very close distance to the audience in a small live house, becomes an excellent performance and creates a wonderful space. And the live take of BAND-MAID where it is recorded is really excellent. In the studio take, the song is playful and gives a slightly excessive impression, but in the live, it is tight and clear, the members are tense with each other's techniques, yet relaxed, and it is wonderful to wrap the audience with happiness It creates a sound space. I also think BAND-MAID is currently the best live band. BAND-MAID's latest album and music video. "Unseen World" February 13 STREAMING apple, etc. 20th AMAZON MV "Manners"-"Unseen World" Track4 th-cam.com/video/-FWuMx_pkH4/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=BANDMAID I'm sorry for my poor English.
Always great to hear musicians reacting. They are great. The rhythm section is special. The bassist, Misa, is shy and mostly silent in band interviews, but mention Paz Lenchantin and there's no stopping her. B-M has an amazing catalogue of instant hits and slow burners that grow overtime and then challenge for the top spots. Bad or boring songs? Not heard one yet. 20+ songs in my top 10. And the new album hasn't arrived yet!
So fun to watch first time BAND-MAID reactions. To answer your question asking if there are other bands out there to listen to. The answer is NO. BAND-MAID 24/7
this is such an enjoyable reaction. thank you so much and it's great to see more fans of band-maid coming in. :)) i really like how the first listen is just you enjoying and rocking out to them, and the second is more technical. looking forward to see more! your exuberance is contagious! :D
welcome to the band and enjoy the ride..being a musician,you will really appreciate them!..yes,do a bass video,misa is extremely talented..kanami,the lead guitarist composes most of the music with the other guitarist/vocal miku writing lyrics..start at the beginning to watch how they evolve..the earliest video is THRILL which is where a lot of us discovered this amazing band..i would then pick CHOOSE ME to get their vibe and then you go 'LIVE' .any live song..in concert they are even better!!!.i would link but im really bad at tech stuff,lol.enjoyed your review.
They were already a great rock band but this latest album is just pushed them to another level. As the saying goes, if you like one Band-Maid song you like 30 Band-Maid songs. Not that all their songs sound the same, just that they are so well put together.
OMG HI EVERYONE! :)

Band Maid is the Best band of World.
With this sentence everything important (and right) is said!
At this moment, among any rock band yes. they are progressive rock i assume.
glad more femal fans find them.
please note this is a great way for female enpowerment. you saw what i mean.
they are more powerful, fast, aggressive than any bands
@@YS-co6pz I wouldn't classify Band Maid as "progressive rock" in the traditional sense of the term, but their music IS very progressive.
If that makes sense ...
Band Maiko is just as good
Yep. Pretty much.
You have discovered the greatest rock band on earth. Gender and country of origin matters not. They are the best there is.
What you said. Best rock and roll band in the world today! Band Maid Forever! Po! 🤘🤘🤘
@Gary King you are a very cultured individual. Heck yeahhh!!!
MISA MISA MISA ! you will understand after a couple more tracks !
@@Like-a-PROinBERLIN Indian Posse, I.P.?
We call Misa the "Barefoot Assassin" as she loves to play her live sets barefoot, and she KILLS IT!!!
She never fails to kill that base
Their instrumental "Onset" is a great showpiece for their bassist.
The breakdown in Domination is a wet dream of bass technique
@@crapstirrer Dice lets her get a little nasty as well.
@@crapstirrer Especially the live version of Domination
Kanami is so considerate when writing these to give everyone a chance to show off.
@@crapstirrer she's very smart giving Misa and Akane room, not to mention how she has been slowly giving more and more to Miku on rhythm.
The best way to describe Band Maid (Imo) is they are the real deal, the complete package. They write nearly all of their own music: lead guitarist Kanami writes the music, harmony guitarisr/having vocalist Miku writes the lyrics. Misa, the bassist had a side range of techniques in her repertoire including using a pick, finger style, and slapping. Her choices are based on the style of song, and the tone of her bass. Akane, the drummer, is the kind of drummer you can use to calibrate an atomic clock. Jimmy Page heard her in Tokyo in 2016 and was so impressed that he went backstage after the show to meet her. And Saiki's voice is simply amazing, she has three registers I've heard, and diaphragm support the separate her from many singers.
Live take to check out (all from their official channel): Domination, Play, Don't You Tell ME, Freedom and Onset.
You need to watch them play live, they are even better - Domination, Moratorium, Onset, Play, Real Existence... Band Maid is the best rock band on the planet, with the best rhythm section. As a bassist, you'll quickly learn to appreciate Misa and Akane's skills. Misa often switches between picking, slapping, and finger style in the same song. Kanami is an incredible guitarist, and an even better composer. Miku is the lyricist and rhythm guitar player, only picked up the guitar when the band started. Saiki is incredible, and has been unleashed after some polyp surgery.
Their live stuff is awesome
And Misa can tuck the pick between her fingers in a millisecond, fingerpick, and bring it back out just as quickly.
Band-Maid live is like no other show.
Since you're a bassist you'll obviously fall in love with MISA but you'll also quickly fall in love with Akane on the drums. Those two are such a killer rhythm section. Chops for days and ideas for miles.
Gail Ann Dorsey.... MISA MISA MISA..... "Inspirations"......
Band maid is here to take over the world. Very intelligent song writers. You will fall in love with them.
Welcome princess! Misa is known for effortlessly switching between picking and slapping while playing her base. You can clearly see it in their live performance of 'Onset' instrumental video on their official channel. Enjoy. There is a lot.
I think she does it in the live version of "Domination" also. I could be wrong.
@paco acosta I just watched it. It's quick, but they show it at about two minute forty seconds in.

Some random infos: 1/ Misa doesn't only plays with a pick - it depends on the song, she's great at slapping too and plays fingerstyle on some others song (ballads usually) 2/ they're a live band - and their songs are usually even better live 3/ their musical range is wide - they consider themselves a "hard rocking band" rather than a hard rock band 4/ they compose and write their music since they started recording full albums (4) 5/ they're not only amazing musicians - they're extremely entertaining and funny too 6/it's always such a pleasure to watch musicians discovering them, great reaction!
She invented “ the dissappering pick” technique or maybe perfected the alternate usage of pick and fingers for plucking/slapping
Best rock band in the world today, I need more BAND-MAID anything you have 100 tracks to choose from, not a bad one !
iThought you kept dat secret.....
You have been assimilated into the BAND-MAID Collective. Resistance Is Futile! 😎🤘

Thanks for reacting, formed in 2013 by Rhythn Guitarist and vocalist Miku Kobato. Seven Major releases so far three mini albums and four full albums with the last released Digitally on the 13th this year With a Physical release on the 20th.
The idea behind the band is the contrast between the visuals and then the sound and also the sound and the lyrics.
Members (ages between 24 to 30)
Akane Hirose ;- Drums (A-chan. the beast,Gorilla)
Saiki Atsume :- Vocals (Sai-chan)
MISA :- Bass :- (the Assasin. Misa, Misa, Misa)
Kanami Tono :- Guitars (Mincho, main songwriter)
Miku Kobato :- Rhythm Guitar, Vocals, Lyricist (Small Pigeon, wide shoulders, strong grip, Karuppo) Kobato in Japanese can be interpreted as small pigeon and Miku never met a pun she didn't like or a chance to mess with peoples heads Po!!.
Also they have a slightly twisted sense of humour, for example the single Alone was released on Valentines day, and for the last two years on April fools day they rename themselves, the bands social media as Band Maiko where they dress as apprentice geisha's and release a video of a song written in the geisha dialect with some traditional instruments in it.
Relentless live band due to having played basically anywhere they could plug in they also tend to add extra parts to the songs live , The costumes might have got their foot in the door but they have earned what they have gotten the old fashioned way, Worked hard, Toured hard, and constantly look to improve.

Do yourself a favor and peruse their official channel for their live performances. They absolutely shine in that environment! (Btw, Misa slaps on the bass too...)
welcome to the army of Madiacs! Misa the bassist (a.k.a. The Barefoot Assassin Maid) actually revolutionized the bass play: she turned the bass guitar into a starring instrument: she plays a bass lead where it fits; she can switch between picking, slapping/popping, finger picking and even tapping, sometimes within the same song live seamlessly in a blink of an eye.
Band-Maid already released 100+ songs (mostly composed/written by themselves) ranking from good ones to the masterpieces. There is not a single stinker/filler in their catalog. So be ready for an incredible journey into the world of Band-Maid rock.
Misa is amazing but you never heard of Chris Squire from Yes or John Entwhistle from the Who? Misa didn't pioneer lead bass but she has perfected it
@@tommcfall1274 I didn't say she invented lead bass. I meant she elevated the role of the bass from just an accompaniment to a starring instrument as a lead guitar is. She made it glamorous. Not so many people who know Yes and Who can name their bassists, but everybody knows Steve Howe and Pete Townshend. Misa changed this trend forever.
@@st.g422 you said "revolutionized bass" , I was just pointing out that there were bass monsters long before her who revolutionized the bass but thank god she is a bass goddess. We are just mincing words here. Misa and this entire band are so incredible!!!!!!!
@@tommcfall1274 Of course Misa is not the first ground-breaker bassist. There is a bunch of other great ones, but their names are barely known to mainstream public. I can recall only one glamorous rock star bassist: Flea. The other rock stars like Paul McCartney, Suzi Quatro, Lemmy, Geddy Lee are more famous like front man/woman singers + bass players.
Man I love Misa but you fanbois always go too far.
Can't believe I forgot to say to check out their live instrumental, Onset. I call it the closer. If you are not a fan after seeing that, you never will be!
The only musicians that I can listen all day for 6 months straight.
Im in the same boat there i fell in the pigeon hole hard
@1:54 "We're going to search for a great bass line."
Misa: Hold my whiskey
Welcome to the BandMaid journey
Yes, they call their fans as masters and princesses.
And some of us call ourselves Maidiacs lol
It still amuses me that people get mad at Maidiacs
@@crapstirrerthey do? Why? What does matter? A fan is a fan.
Welcome aboard, Signe. You are embarking on (along with many others - over 95 million YT views!) an awesome 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 Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Consistency (over a 100 songs with their latest album, “Unseen World”, Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destine 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 50 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: th-cam.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/w-d-xo.html Their later songs drive even more - Manners, Different, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Glory, 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, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, Mirage and Smile... or more punky like Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or a bit jazzy like Wonderland… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts! And many are represented with over 30 well produced music videos. th-cam.com/users/BANDMAID
Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE concerts such as Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA on February 14th (“Domination” th-cam.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/w-d-xo.html), ZEPP 2018, Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 and some of the better 2019 tour Fan vids. Here’s three of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at super intimate venues. The first taken by Vladimir Chupin in Hamburg: th-cam.com/video/__1th7ctgMo/w-d-xo.html, the second taken by JT Dayo in LA: th-cam.com/video/4uIYBkAybCI/w-d-xo.html, and third, JOSER8845 in LA: th-cam.com/video/usWZvlGGDSs/w-d-xo.html. If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, 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, 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. For fun, check out an awesome, little known "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009
Band-Maid members are: (Ages are best est.).
Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements, melodies and High Priestess mediator between the Gods (Band Members) and the masters and princesses (Fans). At 26 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Leader) as Miku calls her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away the persona. Her charisma, performance and voice focus the experience.
Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 29 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. Kurrupo! No, no, no… KURRUPO!!
Kanami Tono (Ka-Naw-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 29 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, 30 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 “DrumRilla” is the Party!
MISA (Me-Sa) "Assassin" - Bass, 28 years old. A sullen, barefoot, dark spirit driving her 5-string bottom-end to hell and back, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. The Mysterious One 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!
WATCH BAND-MAID PLAY THEIR LATEST HIT SINGLES "DIFFERENT" AND "AFTER LIFE!" In case you missed it... their live online was beyond expectations - and they were already stratospheric! Tightest, baddest, kickassest band on earth!

The bassist MISA frequently switches between picking and slapping mid song. If you watch their live stuff you can see her doing it. She frequently gets solos in songs and in general she doesn't play a standard bass role. She almost plays a lead bass role. You'll see her constantly moving up and down the neck.
Best rock band today ... their catalog of songs is very diverse.
Legitimately the greatest rock band going.
You should see their live videos.
Welcome to a deep rabbit hole. MV Blooming and live performances Real Existence, Domination, Moratorium
this day ll change your music world forever with theses 5 Maids (including old pigeon :))
Believe the hype...absolutely the best rock band in the world today!!!👍👍🤘🤘🤘
MISA plays with a pick, and plucks too. In fact in the track Onset (a live instrumental, on their channel) she does both...in the middle of the same solo. She does a bit of slapping from time to time for good measure. There are better bass players than MISA. There are better guitarists than Kanami. There are better drummers than Akane. What you'll struggle to find is a band who have all three at their level.
"There are better..." HERESY!!!
...
Thumbsup, dammit.
Congratulations on discovering Band Maid, best rock band to come along in decades! Don't let the imagery fool you, as they are incredibly talented and versatile. You are in for an incredibly fun ride! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
Back at Band Maid's World Domination Central Command a bell chimes.
That's where they normally keep that globe in the cage that Miku can play with and plan world domination, right? 😁
@@Retec Yep, in the bunker below the mansion.
Any of their live performances are worth watching
Best Hard rock band on the Planet, no exceptions. They can play anything from soft Rock, through Jazz and funk Rock, traditional blues rock, and metal.
They make ridiculously complex music, I don't think they've ever played a song where the second verse didn't have some form of variation, rarely stick to the usual western formula of verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/chorus to fade. They have legitimately 30 tracks that are better than anything the US has produced in 20 years.
MISA often switches from pick to slap mid solo.
Other really good Japanese bands in no particular order: Lovebites, Aldious, Ningen Isu, Maximum the hormone, Fern Planet, Trident and Babymetal (if you are into that sort of thing).
Welcome to the Pigeon hole!
MISA is the name of the bass player. She plays a signature “Black Smoker” bass made by Black cloud guitars.
Suggestions? Dice, Blooming, Rinne for studio. But you should hear them live - Freedom, Onset, Play, Wonderland and Domination.
The band are:
Saiki Atsumi. Lead vox
Miku Kobato. Rhythm guitar and backing vox
Akane Hirose. Drums
Kanami Tono. Lead guitar
MISA. Bass guitar
As far as other J-metal or J-rock bands go, check out Gacharic spin - they’re a lot of fun and awesome players. Their bassist, F chopper Koga is a beast. I like their video for “Generation Gap”(choose the one from 3 months ago)
Of course there is Baby Metal - check out “Rondo of Nightmares with Mischief of gods intro”
Finally, Wagaki band. There’s a video of them performing their song “Homura” live that was pretty incredible.
Have fun falling down the J-rock rabbit hole!
If you're looking for some killer bass work. Check out their song 'No God'. You won't be disappointed.
Yeah the bass in that song is insane! It's totally an all a about MISA song! I mean Akane killing it too.
MISA MISA MISA! for MISA going nuts on Bass check out "No God" from their newly released "Unseen World" Album
The bass player's name is Misa. She is called the barefoot assassin. She plays barefoot and drinks whiskey and will melt your face with her bass. In real existence she slaps and plays with a pick. she palms it when she slaps. You don't know how good she is yet because this song isn't bass heavy
It's actually Domnination live where she slaps and picks and you can see her switching the pick into her palm. Also the intro to Play - th-cam.com/video/3LxX_t4vg7U/w-d-xo.html has incredible bass playing
Dice I believe has some really good bass
Band-Maid and BABYMATAL is the best thing that has happned to Rock/Metal in decades!!!!!
The Bass Player MISA plays with a pick and slaps in the same song and changes from one to the other very quickly!
From a radio interview - - (Chris): What amazed me most about your play style is the changing of picking to slapping, and then picking again so smoothly. Some bassists may throw their picks away to slap, but you use the same pick when you change from slapping to picking again, right?
(Misa): No, I don't throw my pick away. I have become better as I practiced. For the recent 2-3 years, I haven't lost any pick.
(Chris): Show me how.
(Misa): I keep the pick with my index finger and palm.
(Chris): Then you slap the bass with your thumb and middle finger? Can you show me how you play? (then Misa shows how)
(Misa): Because I've been practicing these days, I can change faster than ever.
(Chris): You are mixing them up! That's awsome!
(Misa): I think anybody can do it if you practice.
Misa - BASS GUITAR plays Black Cloud "Smoker" and Privat Reserve (SG Style) bass - Orange AB200B MKIII Amps
When you watch Domination - replay it slowly and you will see MISA switch exactly as she explained it in the interview.
Welcome to the wonderful world of the talented Hard Rock band, Band-Maid. These group of ladies have captivated fans all over the world with their hard hitting music with very catchy chorus. Their entire discography is full of amazing songs. They write and compose their music/songs. They are also a phenomenal live band. You definitely need to check a few more of their songs. if you end up liking them, I can see you doing an entire series on their songs. "Our rock never dies, ever. Forever!" - Nuff said...long live rock...long live Band-Maid! 🤘🤘🤘.
Nuff Said? Yes! Does Xagor's adding more make better? Also YES!!
@@johnnylaroux9517 Lol. Only started that line with "Manners". Thought, it would be fun. But I guess it started becoming synonymous with my comments. Also, sometimes other's beat me to it, so as to not be rude, I have to change it up a bit. Gotta play nice. We are all here to support these wonderful ladies.
@@xagorvangard Imitation *IS*?
Yes, do a bass cover please. Also, check out "onset" on their channel.
I see a lot of people have written a lot about them. I used to work as a session bassist for about 10 year. The first time I heard the bassist, Misa, I was mindblown. I honestly can't think of very many that are at her level playing this kind of music. There are a lot of bassists that would use half of what she does in this song as a solo. She does that without it getting chaotic or show offy. Would love to hear you do a video of this! I'm glad you gave Saiki, the singer, a lot of love. She's sometimes get a bit forgotten because people tend to get so blown away by the musicians. You really should check out their live stuff. I'd recommend 'Domination' as a good start!
Don't forget the lyrics. I love the lyrics too Po.
These girls are the best I found them about 2 yrs ago and a day hasn't gone by that I haven't listened to them i start my day with them its better than coffee
welcome to hearing one of the worlds best rock bands, choose any song...they are great live and in MV's
Misa, the bass player, uses a pick, then can transition to slapping flawlessly. Misa is know as The Barefoot Assassin and is one of the best bass players on the planet! If this is your first experience with Band Maid, get ready for a long and wonderful ride! For some great bass, try Dice! Band Maid, five Japanese ladies that will rock your world, best rock band on the planet at the moment. Please do a bass cover, that would be very cool, Misa deserves it!
She said recently in an interview its been more than two years since she dropped a pick, as you say her transition between the two is on another level,,,
MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! the Barefoot Bass Assassin and the rest of the band is , Miku Kobato AKA Pigeon ( band founder worked at maid café ) Rhythm guitar 2nd vocals / lyrics , Kanami Tono Lead guitar / shredder writes n arranges music , Akane Hirose AKA Gorilla Drums , Saiki Atsumi AKA Ice Queen , Lead Vocals . fan base known as Maidiac`s .
MISA! MISA! MISA!
Holding the line in Solid Guitar Rock, Band Maid has picked up the Mantle of Rock'n'Roll where the West has left it behind!!
More Band Maid Always!!
Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
They are the most beautiful and amazing band on the planet and you have not scratched the surface on how incredibly talented these girls are........
Glad you found Band-Maid. As a 40-yr bassist, I believe MISA is one of the best rock bassists on the scene right now. She is a monster and drives the band. Pick any other BM song. You will enjoy
Welcome to the best hard rock band in the world. They will rock your world and steal your heart - and they deserve SO much more recognition, so thank you for reacting to them! Every one of these ladies is at a high level skill-wise, and their songwriting ability is just ridiculous, which you'll find out when you try to find a bad song that they did - and you can't even find one that's less than great.
Thanks SYGNEH! More Band-Maid please!
yes girl you hit the mother load this is where all the hard rock fans are hanging out cause this is the best band to come along in at least 20 years
As a musician of 56 plus years I have been following Band-Maid since 2014 and I believe they are the most talented women on the planet IMO. Miku Kobato the rhythm guitar player is the lyricist and founder of the band they call her (pigeon). The lead guitarist is the writer and composer of 95 percent of their music. MISA the bass player and Akane the drummer both went to the same prestigious music school together. Saiki the lead vocals was added when Miku thought her voice wasn't strong enough for the lead vocals. I'm going to paste a bio from PRS guitars below from them about Kanami Tono, she is incredible.
Born in a town near Yokohama, Japan, Kanami began playing piano at the age of 3. Though she continued her keyboard lessons for more than 20 years, it wasn’t until she saw a female guitarist that she found her calling. Under the tutelage of this inspiration, she was a quick learner and found herself pursuing various genres: hard rock, latin rock, funk, fusion. Upon entering college, feeling that finding band members who all had the same skill level and same musical direction would be challenging, she found herself performing solo gigs.
It was about this time that the videos she had posted to TH-cam caught Miku (“Kobato”, Band-Maid founder)’s eye. She would get to play lead and wouldn’t have to sing, just the perfect criteria for Kanami. Thus, Band-Maid was born.
Her favorite guitarists include Carlos Santana and Larry Carlton. She credits Carlos for her own use of pentatonic scales in her lead solos.
I really liked your reaction, BAND-MAID is the best rock band in the world. you have no idea what you started and welcome to the wonderful world of BAND-MAID.
Misa slaps, strums, picks, and will grasp her pick between middle and index when not picking. She switches between styles frequently. Yes, watch more Band-Maid, all their songs are good.
They do mostly hard rock and they do it very well. But watch out for their slow, sad songs, on which the two vocalists really shine. "About Us" and "Page" come to mind. "Daydreaming" is another one.
Them ladies right now are probably Japan's finest hard rock/grrrl-rock/jrock export and if you can find the time to do a series on 'em, ALL of their MVs in there in their channel ARE ALL HITS NO MISSES I bet my 2 acres on that. You can also check out another young all girls Japanese band TRiDENT with their latest Brand New World if you can find the time later. Stay safe, healthy and happy ya.
Oh you have no idea what you've started here lol....
It's gonna be awesome seeing a female musicians views. Can't wait to see her try her hand at MISAs lines, too.
@@patron40silver agreed
You're gonna love it they don't do bad songs, you should check the live version of Freedom. For another band to check out Lovebites they are a power metal band and are extremely good.
Right??
If someone would have told me 10 years ago that one of my favorite bands would be 5 Japanese women in maid outfits I would have laughed in their face. Yet, here we are. They are special. Enjoy the journey, I think you'll fall in love with them pretty quickly. Misa (the bassist) is a Tokyo School of Music grad (as is the drummer Akane) so... :-)
I can name quit a few for you: Wagakki band, Scandal, Girlfriend, Babymetal, Kanon Wakeshima, Ayumi Hamasaki, Kokia, Kalafina, Sound Horizon, Linked Horizon, X-Japan, Fiction Junction, Oreskaband, Charan po rantan, Anza Ōyama and later her band HeadPhones President (HPP), Fate Gear, Stereopony, Zone, Yousei teikoku (translates as Fairy kingdom) and the virtual 'idol' Hatsune Miku for the Vocaloid.
This whole album that just released is amazing. It's on spotify. The song no God has some of the best bass you'll ever hear
Kanami mentioned in a recent interview that covid19 lockdowns has turned her into a "riff machine". Akane, Misa as well, also mentioned they took this period as a unique opportunity to work on their current "lackings" in drums and bass. Miku Kobato spoke about how this forced idle times without concerts has given her the opportunity to write many songs lyrics. Saiki did not say much, but all the fans can hear her significant vocal improvement over the last year. The whole band worked at improving their musical cohesion. So this albuml is truly excellent. I must admit I was slightly concerned following the issue of Conqueror in which I saw a transition album, hoping our beloved ladies were not loosing their incredible creativity momemtum. I am fully reassured now and even thinking a better Band-Maid is just coming ahead.
I understand what you’re saying and I’m not disagreeing but I do think the explorations on Conqueror, the softer elements and more expansive soundscapes, despite maybe a few less exciting tunes, is exactly the thing that makes a band better and better. Rush was famous for taking that type of approach, one exploratory album (Permanent Waves) followed by a more cohesive, refined album (Moving Pictures) that raised their overall level in songwriting, composing, arrangement, etc. I hope Band Maid keeps following that approach and we get a more exploratory album after the refinements of Unseen World. I think it’ll serve them well in the long run, imho. 🤷🏻♂️🤘🏼🎸
MISA the barefoot maid assassin. Master of changing between picking and slapping.
You have no idea what you have started!!!!!
MISA, the bassist, an unusual technique where she switches back and forth between pick and slap instantly, and back again. She holds the pick in her hand without losing it.
Check out Band-Maid's music videos "Blooming" or "Dice." Their live music is just as good. For something more mellow, "Endless Story" or "Daydreaming". Misa plays with a pick and slap - sometimes changing between each in a given song.
Onset is an instrumental and everyone has a solo. Also Freedom live has an incredible drum solo and is more of a pop song. Enjoy
Yes ! Do some bass covers of Band Maid . Misa the bassist for the band is known as the " Bare Foot Assassin . Because she kills it on the bass . Misa is one of the best modern bassists in hard rock today . Try listen to their live concert vids of Domination , Play and moratorium to start with . All the ladies in this band are extremely talented and the music they write is mind blowingly good . One of the best bands world wide .
Try the live version of “Don’t you tell me” for a bass and lead guitar battle
It's not a battle! it’s a guitar seduction 🎸❤🎸🎎🇯🇵
Since you have only done one, you can pretty much pick at random. They have that many good songs. Their live stuff is exceptional though. For more of the Barefoot Assassin bass of Misa, I suggest Play, Dice, and even their first hit, Thrill. You can see how far they have come. For other bands, I recommend Polkadot Stingray, Glim Spanky, Trident, Scandal.
THIS.
Yes more Band Maid! Every song is different so you need to check out more to really appreciate their song writing.
You have a good ear. I enjoyed your analysis of this song. You should definitely check out some of their live performances. BAND-MAID has a special energy live that doesn't get captured in their studio recordings.
This is one of their simpler songs (especially in comparison to the rest of this new album). Their music can get really dense. They are very creative.
Enjoy your BAND-MAID journey!
Best Rock band in the world today! Kanami the lead guitarist is the one composing most of their stuff and she is a genius at it.
As you will soon discover, they dont have a bad song, also they released a new album this week witch is fantastic (this is the first single from the album).
I dont know if you're into metal but if you are take a look at Lovebites, female metal band also from Japan. Try Raise Some Hell or Edge of the World, both Live.
Thanks for great reaction and stay safe!
I want to say that they are the ones who are doing the most rock right now.
Yes, play the bass !
Hello there, enjoyed your reaction. MISA, the bassist, uses a pick and does slap, often alternating in the same song. Band Maid really shines live. I would suggest Play (live), Wonderland (live) and Onset (live-instrumental). Peace out and have fun!
Greeting from Japan!
I’m very glad you getting like BAND-MAID.
Your analysis of musical structure is quite amazing. This is the very first time to watch on a reaction channel with such a deep analysis!
Please try more BAND-MAID songs. There are bunch of good songs and live version as well.
Maybe “Domination (live)” or “Onset” next...
Welcome to the BandMaid world where YES you are a Princess. 2 years for me I am a BANDMAIDIAC. Best song for me is Blooming so I suggest for review and also Daydreaming, but anything is fair game as they have over 60 songs and all are good.
Welcome to the world of Band-Maid.

You've discovered the best rock band on the planet. Every song you hear from them will have something that will leave your jaw on the floor.
Hi from a locked-down UK. You just stumbled across my favourite band in the world. Saw them live in London in 2018 and been a huge fan ever since. 😁
Welcome to the Band-Maid rabbit hole. It's a deep one.
Loved your reaction, more Band Maid please. You have so much more to see and hear. They will totally blow your mind!!
They are all excellent.Saiki,Miku,Akane,Misa and kaname.Definitely worth watching and listening to
Everyone is writing various things, and A little supplement.
BAND-MAID was formed around spring to summer 2013.
October / 2013 Hand-painted leaflet Akane, distributed by the band in Harajuku.
They write "talented rock maid band".

"Maid in Japan" Released January 8, 2014
Single "愛と情熱のマタドール" Released August 13, 2014
track 2 "Thrill" track3 "Summer Drive"
And, as they sought the direction of the band, they chose a harder rock direction, and for that reason, the first MV was shot instead of the single "愛と情熱のマタドール" , "Thrill" was selected.
The MV for "Thrill" was officially uploaded in November 2014.
th-cam.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo
However, the band is sluggish.
From "Engadget Fes 2014 Winter" on November 24, 2014.
This is a video of BAND-MAID during the slump, performing an acoustic live (unavoidably) in a small event space instead of a live house. Miku says, "Please remember just the name."
Still, you can see how high everyone's playing skills are.
th-cam.com/video/6AhzOrnLMWs/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo
2015, spring to summer
Kanami and Akane participate in "もちとちーず".
Perhaps they are valued for their musical talent by their agency and asked to participate in "もちとちーず".
And KANAMI and AKANE temporarily belonged to both of those two bands.
Kanami is also composing there.
th-cam.com/video/WyWiYPE8qUY/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=%E3%82%82%E3%81%A1%E3%81%A8%E3%81%A1%E3%83%BC%E3%81%9A
th-cam.com/video/j_lyFFCKYlY/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=%E3%82%82%E3%81%A1%E3%81%A8%E3%81%A1%E3%83%BC%E3%81%9A
Suddenly, "THRILL" was a hit on the internet in April 2015, and the band has been energetically performing live throughout 2015, but without that "THRILL" hit,Kanami and Akane went to "もちとちーず" and BAND-MAID may have disappeared.
However, BAND-MAID held up.
And
"New Beginning" Released November 18, 2015
It also includes "Thrill" and "Real Existence", the official MV for. However, at this time, the lyrics and composition were still outsourced.
"Real Existence" has been officially uploaded to LIVE in 2018.
th-cam.com/video/-qQnKILR5u0/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo
"Brand New MAID" Released May 18, 2016
Official MV "the non-fiction days","Before Yesterday" are included.
And for the first time in "alone", the song created by the system of lyrics Miku and composition Kanami was recorded.
After the next album, most of the songs will be songs made by this Miku Kanami system.
Since 2016, sold-outs have started to occur in small live houses, and in March 2016, they firsttime performed live overseas. Although they were invited to the J-ANIME and MANGA festivals.
"Just Bring It" Released January 11, 2017
Official MV "YOLO" and etc.
And
November 2017 The first LIVE.BLU-RAY (DVD) was recorded.
The BLU-RAY of this concert contains a wonderful and energetic performance of a young band riding an updraft. The rarely talked about "Take me higher" "Puzzle" is also included here. However, it is currently unavailable and no songs have been posted on the official channel.
It's hard to understand why the company doesn't publish such a great live record.
This BLU-RAY,
"World Domination" Released February 14, 2018 Only released as the first limited edition.
And
The first limited edition of the single version Start Over released in July 2018 also comes with a LIVE.BLU-RAY (DVD) at zepp tokyo in 2018, and some of the contents include "Real Existans" "Cross" and "Onset". It is published on the official channel.
This blu-ray is also currently unavailable.

th-cam.com/video/yQn4IMr56zY/w-d-xo.html&feature=emb_logo
However, these two live albums may be reissued because the band's affiliated company has changed recently.
But, depending on the situation at the time of contract, there is a risk that these two excellent BLU-RAYs will be buried in the darkness forever.
The full video of these two concerts still remains on the Chinese video site (BILIBILI), which does not consider copyright.
It's currently not available at a fair price, so I think it's morally permissible to watch it on this site.

And
"WORLD DOMINATION" Released February 14, 2018.
"CONQUEROR" Released December 11, 2019
The next work was released as a video work BLU-RAY (DVD). Most of the songs included in it are from these two albums.
And
"World Domination Tour [Shinka] at Line Cube Shibuya February 14,2020" Released April, It was released as a video work. LIVE.BLU-RAY(DVD).
Official upload, "Domination""Freedom""Choose me""Play""Wonderland".

And
band-maid is planning their first solo concert at Nippon Budokan in February.
A solo concert at Nippon Budokan has the same meaning as a solo concert at Madison Square Garden in the United States in Japan.
Raised by the company, the company provides songs, the company trains, the company promotes, the company collaborates with each media, many companies co-sponsor, many concerts at the large capacity Nippon Budokan or some Arena There are several groups that do. BABY-METAL is one of them.
For them, it's just a big concert.
However, BAND-MAID won the right to a solo concert at Nippon Budokan by pursuing their own music and continuing their live performances by facing the audience directly. Only with the efforts of the band.
Starting from that leaflet in 2013.
And now
Unfortunately, the concert at Nippon Budokan has been cancelled.
The world is in a difficult situation right now, but I pray for the success of BAND-MAID.
I think the appeal of BAND-MAID is all about live performances. At BAND-MAID, the high ability of CALL & RESPONCE, which has been cultivated by continuing to play at a very close distance to the audience in a small live house, becomes an excellent performance and creates a wonderful space. And the live take of BAND-MAID where it is recorded is really excellent.
In the studio take, the song is playful and gives a slightly excessive impression, but in the live, it is tight and clear, the members are tense with each other's techniques, yet relaxed, and it is wonderful to wrap the audience with happiness It creates a sound space.
I also think BAND-MAID is currently the best live band.

I'm sorry for my poor English.
Always great to hear musicians reacting. They are great. The rhythm section is special. The bassist, Misa, is shy and mostly silent in band interviews, but mention Paz Lenchantin and there's no stopping her. B-M has an amazing catalogue of instant hits and slow burners that grow overtime and then challenge for the top spots. Bad or boring songs? Not heard one yet. 20+ songs in my top 10. And the new album hasn't arrived yet!
And yes, it does make you a princess. More Band-Maid please your highness.
You gone done did it now. Que the fan flood. Down the Pigeon hole we go!
More BM please! Check out their live stuff! Keep Rocking!🤘🏻✌🏻
So fun to watch first time BAND-MAID reactions.
To answer your question asking if there are other bands out there to listen to. The answer is NO. BAND-MAID 24/7
This was a delight to watch!
this is such an enjoyable reaction. thank you so much and it's great to see more fans of band-maid coming in. :)) i really like how the first listen is just you enjoying and rocking out to them, and the second is more technical. looking forward to see more! your exuberance is contagious! :D
welcome to the band and enjoy the ride..being a musician,you will really appreciate them!..yes,do a bass video,misa is extremely talented..kanami,the lead guitarist composes most of the music with the other guitarist/vocal miku writing lyrics..start at the beginning to watch how they evolve..the earliest video is THRILL which is where a lot of us discovered this amazing band..i would then pick CHOOSE ME to get their vibe and then you go 'LIVE' .any live song..in concert they are even better!!!.i would link but im really bad at tech stuff,lol.enjoyed your review.
They were already a great rock band but this latest album is just pushed them to another level. As the saying goes, if you like one Band-Maid song you like 30 Band-Maid songs. Not that all their songs sound the same, just that they are so well put together.
The outro almost sounds like 90s acid jazz.
If you love bass, Band-Maid is the band for you. MISA brings some great bass lines and even sick solos in every song.
