Only the BEST hard rocking band this 73 yr old man who has seen Zep, D Purple, heck I;ve seen them all. Most professional band best players best writers best live BEST EVER
From JAPAN BAND-MAID is a five-member girls rock band. They are celebrating their 12th this year. The members have not changed. They are a hard rock band, and fans consider them one of the best hard rock bands in the world. They usually have 23 songs and 2-hour gig. Formed in Japan in 2013 by side guitarist Miku Kobato. Miku has experience working at a maid cafe in Akihabara, Tokyo, and came up with the idea of playing cool music in her maid outfit. That's why the band was named BAND-MAID. "Thrill" was the first music video of 2014, reaching 2 million views in 2 weeks, and they escaped disbandment and decided to become a hard rock band. Also, they perform LIVE overseas and increase the number of fans. Now they write, compose and arrange all their songs. 140 original songs. And 60 songs have been released on the official You Tube, all of which are killer songs. Official videos are often not blocked. ■ Hard Rock : the non-fiction days ・Rinne・ DICE ・Thrill ・Unleash!!!!・ Sense・ Warning! ・After life ・Protect You ■ Cool Rock : Alone ・Influencer ・Bubble ・Manners ・YOLO ・Different・ Blooming ・Forbidden tale ■ Great Live : DOMINATION ・PLAY ・FREEDOM ・REAL EXISTENC ・CROSS ・CHOOSE ME ・Ｐuzzle ・Hate？ ■ Ballad : Wonderland ・Endless story ・Daydreaming ・About us ・Memorable ・Bestie ■ Acoustic : "Catharsis" Acoustic Ver. ・Sayonakidori" Acoustic Ver. ■ Instrumental : from now on ・On set ■ Japanese Style : Secret Maiko Lips・ Gioncho (April Fool's Day Gift BAND MAIKO Version) ■ Collaboration: Bestie Michael Einziger from INCUBUS ・SHOW THEM （with Warning ） ■ All English lyrics: Dragon Cry ・Don't Let Me Down ・Bestie ・SHOW THEM ■ Anime Songs: glory ・Different ・Sense ・Shambles ・Protect You ■ Side Project : Cluppo : Peace and Love ・ with You ( Miku’s side project )
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 mayhem 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 12th year with the original line up. And they are the best live band I have ever witnessed! 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!
The UNLEASH video is about how a Small Pigeon rallied a band of maids who launched a campaign for World Domination. But just as all the pieces were falling in place, including a scheduled high-profile “one-man” concert at Budokan, the pandemic cast a dark shadow across the globe, scuttling BAND-MAID’s plans. But the MAIDS were not deterred. They launched a new campaign, using the Internet to stay in touch with their fans and to win new ones, posting on TH-cam songs from concert films, supporting the work of reaction channels, creating special video content for their fan club, and producing several online concerts. When things returned to normal, the band emerged stronger than ever, performing live again, and embarking on a year-long Tenth Anniversary Tour which brought them to the U.S. twice, including a set at LOLLAPALOOZA, and wrapping up finally in November 2023, at YOKOHAMA ARENA.
Welcome to Band-Maid, the best progressive hard rock band on the planet, and imho of all time. They are a very, very real band. Band-Maid have been together since 2013 and they have over 120+ songs in their back catalogue and they are all bangers. If you like hard rock, then you have found the holy grail. Other songs I think you will love are "Choose Me" (official MV), "Shake That!!" (an excellent collage video), "Alone" (official MV), and "Hate?" (official live MV). I could literally list dozens of songs but I'll leave it at four. I hope you decide to dive further down the pigeon hole. You will not be disappointed!🤘🤘💕💕
Band-Maid is as real as it gets. Band-Maid are five of the smartest, hardest working women musicians in the entertainment industry. Together, they are one of the greatest live touring shows you'll ever experience. Formed in 2013 and composing their own music since 2015, Band-Maid has a huge and diverse catalog of hard hitting rock music, all which they can incorporate into their live performances within a day's notice. They are top level musicians, composers, lyricists, and producers, self-managed through their wholly owned management company, MAIDIT Co. LTD. The 'maid band' concept was Miku Kobato's idea, which she pitched to the Platinum Passport talent agency, who greenlit and financed formation of the group. Miku then recruited guitarist/songwriter Kanami Töno, who recruited her friend Akane Hirose to play drums, who in turn convinced her bass player college buddy Misa to audition for the "Maid Band". After rehearsals and a few gigs they decided they needed a stronger vocalist and they auditioned and onboarded singer Saiki Atsumi.
Welcome to the Band Maid world, the best hard rock band in the world!!! This band is amazing, keep checking them out and you will see how good this band is!!! Thanks for your reaction.
This is one of the best rock bands making music today, male or female (and one of the best live bands performing today). They are incredibly accomplished musicians, and it shows in the diversity and quality of their extensive catalog. You'll love their music - it's unique, creative, and fun!
Their record company Pony Canyon also has an anime division who did this. The opening animated sequence has scenes from their non-animated MVs. When they are flying through the air there are a lot of sight-gags like Misa (bassist) taking a swig from her whisky flask. They have several anime openings and closings, the most recent being "Protect You", the closing music for the Grendizer U. anime. Miku Kobato, the singer/guitarist with the red rose, has a side project Cluppo. As Cluppo she did the closing song "With You" for the anime "Smile of the Arsnotoria the Animation" which is a Pony Canyon anime. Miku had worked in a maid cafe and founded the band. She liked the idea of the "gap", the contrast between their cute look and the their hard rock music. Wonderfully talented band.

I am late to the party judging by how many Maidiacs have already commented. I will echo the fact that Band-Maid is currently one of the best hard rock bands on the planet. Their live shows which they call Okyuji (servings) to keep with the maid cafe theme, are simply incredible. They routinely play for 2 hours or more. Their 10th year anniversary tour finale okyuji at Yokohama Arena was around three and a half hours long. They released a few official live videos from that concert that you may want to check out. Don't You Tell Me and Hate are straight up bangers with guitar vs bass duels, and Endless Story is a tear jerker ballad that even choked up the lead singer, Saiki, and the drummer, Akane, since it was the last song of their 10th year anniversary tour. Also, they just released a collaboration with The Warning called Show Them which is a must listen. Some other song suggestions are Moratorium, No God, Rinne, Onset, From Now On, Without Holding Back, About Us, Play, Why Why Why, Clang, and Matchless Gum. I hope that you choose to continue into the Band-Maid pigeon hole. Yes, pigeon hole, as Miku Kobato (band founder, rhythm guitar, vocals) identifies as an 810 year old pigeon. Yes, that is crazy but you will get used to it. (LOL) Have fun with it!
Welcome Princess Tierwha! And thank you for reacting to our Maids! BAND-MAID is an incredibly hard rocking maid band from Japan. You asked “Are the musicians real?” Princess, it doesn’t get any more real than BAND-MAID! Five insanely talented musicians that will melt your face AND your heart. UNLEASH is a great song and music video, But it’s so much better once you get to know the individual Maids. BAND-MAID has DOZENS of songs equal to or better than UNLEASH. You’ve only scratched the surface of their talent, and we’re happy to have you along for the ride! Here’s just a few songs in their incredible catalogue: HATE? (live) Don’t you tell ME (live) From now on (MV) REAL EXISTENCE (live) MANNERS (MV) DOMINATION (live) PLAY (live) Put on your seat belt, Princess! You’re going for a hell of a ride!
Yes, those maids are the real musicians. You probably don't want to do two reactions to the same song but their channel has an official live version from their big 10th anniversary concert at Yokohama Arena last year (and the singer goes extra hard live).
As a big rock and metal fan, I was sceptical when I first saw this band in my TH-cam recommendations many years ago. I gave them a try and they became one of my favorite current rock bands. They may seem like a bit of a "gimmick" with the outfits, but they're a completely legit and extremely talented, hardworking group. Their live performances are especially good also.
Everyone's favorite Band-Maid song is invariably the last one they listened to. They really don't have any bad songs! I highly suggest the MV for Blooming!
BAND-MAID have done loads of Anime Theme Songs, but this isn't one of those. They wanted to do the OMV for this song with them appearing in anime for themselves cleansing the world of COVID. We all wish it was a real anime series. But if you'd like to check out their anime theme songs here's a list: 'Shambles' the season two closer from the Netflix anime, Kengan Ashura is probably their best, but there's also 'Glory' form Yu-Gi-Oh VRAINS, 'Sense' from Platinum End, 'Different' from Log Horizon, and 'With You' by Cluppo for Warau Arsnotoria Sun. Did I miss any? Yes! 'Protect You' from Grendizer U. And, though it doesn't really count, 'Unleash' where the girls appear in anime form themselves.
Yep, they are a real band. They are one of the best live bands on this planet, imo. I suggest you check their official live videos such as Domination, Freedom, Don't You Tell Me, HATE?, Endless Story, etc. Have a wonderful Band-Maid journey, PO!🕊💕
The greatest rock band on the planet right now sssoooo you have no idea what you just stepped into so hold on tight and get ready to have your mind blown
As far as first-time reactions to Band-Maid, yours is ranked - Priceless. Thanks for reacting to Band-Maid. Hope you check out more. I suggest Choose me (Official Live Video), REAL EXISTENCE (Official Live Video), or influencer (Official Music Video) as an introduction to this great band.
Oh, they are just the best Hard Rock band on the planet right now. Some songs: Choose me, Don't Let Me Down, Dice, Real Existence, Don’t you tell Me, Hate (live), Freedom, Influencer, Play, ...
Definitely a real band. They have done anime opening and endings. The drummer Akane is a huge anime fan and got to live out a dream of being animated with this MV. Amazing group of women. I'd recommend forgotten tale their newest video or even Hate? Live as they are an amazing live band.
I'll put my request here but I'll look at your website! :) Thanks for reacting to my favorite band ever! Suggestions would be Puzzle LIVE, or HATE? Live or maybe Choose me Music video. I hope you get into them! They are the best!
BandMaid !!!=the best!--- the liveliest.most stimulating and imaginative and impossibly talented bandmates ever ! you are sooo lucky to be new to them !...you have nothing but dreamlike pleasure ahead,... hearing and seeing their stockpile of pure charm ! .....Try "Daydreaming" !
Welcome, Tierwha. You are embarking on (along with many others - 220 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 (144 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 80 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, You, 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, The One, 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 Protect You, Sense, Different, 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 Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA (February 14, 2020) “Domination” th-cam.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/w-d-xo.html ZEPP 2018 “Real Existence” th-cam.com/video/-qQnKILR5u0/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. Shot by Pat McKee from their 2023 US tour concert in Detroit: th-cam.com/video/DgxU-MVjta0/w-d-xo.html See the Maids 2023 Rockville Festival’s short-set perfection performance: th-cam.com/video/vjZkNeoGmhc/w-d-xo.html Great photo collage with older classic songs from P in D: www.youtube.com/@PinD-PANIC 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. For fun, check out: "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009 Band-Maid MIDI covers: www.youtube.com/@DeanF_MIDI Reimagined compositions of Band-Maid songs: www.youtube.com/@fxdxmusic 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, 33 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, 33 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, 32 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. [BAND-MAID NEWS] BAND-MAID PRIME - Special Video Distribution Website. Along with nearly 50 great play-through’s by each member, concerts and skits, Band-Maid management / label(s) have included the Acoustic Christmas 2021, ZEPP 2018 and Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 concerts! Fans can now see more than 50 great live performances with awesome audio, etc. like Fate, I Can't Live Without You and the great MISA / Kanami exchange in Don't You Tell Me. Those concerts are two of the best produced & performed concerts ever recorded, IMO. bandmaidprime.tokyo The Maids SOLD OUT 2023 US & Mexico tour wrapped up and was a fantastic success.

Impressive reaction. She watches this with no preconceptions, and quickly learns to just enjoy what is in front of her. I would watch her reactions. She wins an instant sub.
Pigeon talk ... PO! This is their first animated video ... they are real people who were illustrated here and this is the story of what the band went through during the lockdowns. As Maidiacs know, they came out of it stronger than ever and delivered us 2 USA tours and a new album! BAND MAID is: Miku Kobato (小鳩 ミク) - rhythm guitar, vocals, PR (Band founder, lyricist ... our flappy pigeon, po!) Kanami Tōno (遠乃 歌波) - lead guitar (musical composer extraordinaire - the princess) Akane Hirose (廣瀬 茜) - drums, percussion (see bananas ... and ramen - the gorilla) Misa - bass guitar (drinks hard liquor and performs without shoes on stage - the barefoot assassin) Saiki Atsumi (厚見 彩姫) - lead vocals ("we dance in the palm of her hand" - Domination - The Queen)
@@Tierwha As YOU are sort of Holo_(girl), so assuming you familiar with MIKU?… one of The lady(maid) here also name MIKU… Just saying🤗… definitely will check ur other videos 👋
There are many all female bands from Japan =) Band-Maid being the best !!!!! Check out "Freedom" Official Live it's one of Band-Maids milder songs ✌🤘Welcome Princess Tierwha Nice Reaction
Great reaction!! You think this was good? You can watch "cute maid girls being in a band" for real. Check out any of their live videos. I recommend: Domination (live) 2019 Hate? (live) 2023 There are many more. Prepare to be dazzled 😂😂
Band-Maid has this certain phenomenon thing going regarding their more progy-punk hard rock and Anime written tunes. These songs are hard, complex and will totally grow on you like a thousand pound R&R leech. The Maids in this format are relentless and powerful. Their “AniMaid” (anime) Covid-fighting "Unleash!!!!!" MV and new battle gear is exciting, meaningful and classy! As Maidiacs report: Maid Music will continue to dominate the world until everyone succumbs in ecstasy to its brilliant and undeniable forces!!!!! 💥🎀💥Thx, Tierwha!
It was fun watching your head explode in real time. I’m sure the regular commentators will fill you in, but no, they’re not an anime (yet), they are more impressively real. You should watch anyway!
Yep - real band. The best hard rock band on the planet. All top level musicians, and their songwriting is diverse and super awesome. Something like 140 songs but I've lost track as they've been around for 11+ years now. I've been a maidiac for the last 6 years, and they've gotten a lot of us through a lot of shit. This video was a take on them as a group of superheros that destroyed covid and saved the world. (I think - someone correct me please if I"m off) You really need 30 songs just to get an understanding of just how unbelievably good they are. I'm going to recommend three songs that come to mind for you to check out. Puzzle Official Live (hard rock, great song), Hate? from the same show (also an official live) and their brand new MV, Forbidden Tale. But you can't go wrong, because 95% of their songs a GREAT and the other 5% are just good. Their lyrics are typically very uplifting, and even though I tend to like darker songs, I love this band and I'm completely addicted. They're life changing.
It's real band from japan. Lot of reference of old band-maid's video like Thrill, Blooming....band-maid is hard rock band. This have more 120 songs since 11 years.
Dan, Dan, Di-di, Dan, Dan! Best nonsense lyric ever (it's not English, it's not Japanese, it's just what it is), it hits so hard! This is just their one cool anime music video, and the only one. However... they have about another 140 amazing songs for you to listen to! Subbed, based on you saying you're interested in watching more. Maid-power! Rock on Tierwha!
What's this song about? The Coronavirus. The black misty menace at the front of the video is the virus, and you'll see it carries away rhythm guitarist Miku---who did get sick. Worse for the band, they were prevented from touring, just when things were going very well for them. It was a scary time for them, personally and professionally, just as for a lot of other people. But, they poured themselves into making a new album, and into doing virtual online performances. And as the Coronavirus receded, they found that they still had their fans, and had done very good work. This song is their little celebration of that success, and a thank-you to their fans. I've seen them live in US, and they are one of the best rocks bands in the world. There's a lot more to enjoy, if you feel like diving in deeper. BTW, the folks who request BAND-MAID reactions on TH-cam are the "carrier pigeons". One of those sent you the suggestion, of course. Miku Kobato's name, in Japanese, includes a visual pun for the word for "pigeon", as I understand it. She has a pigeon embossed on her custom guitar. And of course, you'll see the pink pigeon in the anime parts of the MV. Anyway, thanks again for a great reaction!
To add to the story, Saiki was supposedly the one who pushed for online concerts, and in the video, you see her continuing to sing and perform while everyone else is bummed out, cheering them up. "Hato" is Japanese for pigeon (also dove, apparently). "Ko" can mean small or child. When you stick them together, hato changes to bato (very common kind of change in Japanese when you stick word parts together). Therefore, Kobato's name is a pun for "small pigeon".
Now that was fun! 🎉 Welcome to the world of Band Maid 🌍 ❤ No doubt you’ll find all the answers to your questions in the comments. And then some. I’m really looking forward to seeing you react to some of their live performances. Don’t let the fun fool you. These are serious musicians. “Play,” official live video is what I would recommend for you 🚀
Tierwha , Welcome to BAND-MAID enjoy your journey down the Pigeon Hole , MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! the Barefoot Bass Assassin , yes they are a real band , check out there 1st MV from 2014 Thrill .
A lot of your questions about the band will be answered by watching one of their live performance videos. I suggest "Thrill" (your choice about music video or live or both)
Just an awesome band, the very best of the very best. The maids have a ton of videos on their official YT channel, pick any one (preferably a live performance) to see what they can really do.
Fun reaction. Thanks. I really enjoyed it. You should react to their MV for the song Influencer. By the way, they have done a number of songs for anime. Check out the Sense or Different MVs for examples.
You have 2 choice join or JOIN PO! They are best live, but 1st song Thrill is where most people start. Their leader Miku Kobato has a solo hippy pop song that will melt your heart in strawberry ginger ale, (Cluppo / PEACE&LOVE)
It was hard for me to believe it at first when I first saw them, that five of the best musicians I've ever heard all had enough sense of humor to wear maid outfits, but yes, that is 100% them and they sound even better live. I highly suggest the live version of this song as well as Domination Live, Hate live and Puzzle live. Genuinely the best band this short century.
Band Maid is the real deal... if you think the MV's are good... Band Maid Live is amazing.... you can pick any Live performance ... No God, Puzzle, Hate? Dominatioin, Manners/Black Hole.. pick any of them and fasten your seat belt....
Real band -- all women, Japanese, dressed as maids from a maid cafe. They have done a number of intros or outros for anime shows. Try "Sense", "Shambles", and others will recommend the other anime songs. Band-Maid have been going for 10 years. Very real band.
BabyMetal, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, MTH(Maximum the Hormone), and Band-Maid, imo, are an Otaku's gateway into Japan's Rock/Metal Scene. Honestly if you enjoyed Band-Maid, but want heavier vocals I highly suggest and recommend Nemophila and Hanabie!!!!
![BAND-MAID / Unleash!!!!! (Official Music Video) REACTION [Where is season one?]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EV3Rdz97p04/mqdefault.jpg)
THE best Hard Rock band on Earth. Probably on other planets too. Best served live.
Its a real band of real women who are real musicians that write their own music. Saw them live twice last year on their US tour.
Only the BEST hard rocking band this 73 yr old man who has seen Zep, D Purple, heck I;ve seen them all.
Most professional band best players best writers best live BEST EVER
From JAPAN
BAND-MAID is a five-member girls rock band. They are celebrating their 12th this year. The members have not changed. They are a hard rock band, and fans consider them one of the best hard rock bands in the world. They usually have 23 songs and 2-hour gig. Formed in Japan in 2013 by side guitarist Miku Kobato. Miku has experience working at a maid cafe in Akihabara, Tokyo, and came up with the idea of playing cool music in her maid outfit. That's why the band was named BAND-MAID. "Thrill" was the first music video of 2014, reaching 2 million views in 2 weeks, and they escaped disbandment and decided to become a hard rock band. Also, they perform LIVE overseas and increase the number of fans. Now they write, compose and arrange all their songs. 140 original songs. And 60 songs have been released on the official You Tube, all of which are killer songs.
Official videos are often not blocked.

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 mayhem 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 12th year with the original line up. And they are the best live band I have ever witnessed!
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!
The UNLEASH video is about how a Small Pigeon rallied a band of maids who launched a campaign for World Domination. But just as all the pieces were falling in place, including a scheduled high-profile “one-man” concert at Budokan, the pandemic cast a dark shadow across the globe, scuttling BAND-MAID’s plans. But the MAIDS were not deterred. They launched a new campaign, using the Internet to stay in touch with their fans and to win new ones, posting on TH-cam songs from concert films, supporting the work of reaction channels, creating special video content for their fan club, and producing several online concerts. When things returned to normal, the band emerged stronger than ever, performing live again, and embarking on a year-long Tenth Anniversary Tour which brought them to the U.S. twice, including a set at LOLLAPALOOZA, and wrapping up finally in November 2023, at YOKOHAMA ARENA.
Welcome to Band-Maid, the best progressive hard rock band on the planet, and imho of all time. They are a very, very real band. Band-Maid have been together since 2013 and they have over 120+ songs in their back catalogue and they are all bangers. If you like hard rock, then you have found the holy grail. Other songs I think you will love are "Choose Me" (official MV), "Shake That!!" (an excellent collage video), "Alone" (official MV), and "Hate?" (official live MV). I could literally list dozens of songs but I'll leave it at four. I hope you decide to dive further down the pigeon hole. You will not be disappointed!🤘🤘💕💕
Band-Maid is as real as it gets.
Band-Maid are five of the smartest, hardest working women musicians in the entertainment industry. Together, they are one of the greatest live touring shows you'll ever experience. Formed in 2013 and composing their own music since 2015, Band-Maid has a huge and diverse catalog of hard hitting rock music, all which they can incorporate into their live performances within a day's notice. They are top level musicians, composers, lyricists, and producers, self-managed through their wholly owned management company, MAIDIT Co. LTD.
The 'maid band' concept was Miku Kobato's idea, which she pitched to the Platinum Passport talent agency, who greenlit and financed formation of the group. Miku then recruited guitarist/songwriter Kanami Töno, who recruited her friend Akane Hirose to play drums, who in turn convinced her bass player college buddy Misa to audition for the "Maid Band". After rehearsals and a few gigs they decided they needed a stronger vocalist and they auditioned and onboarded singer Saiki Atsumi.
What is this, you say? Well, they are the best live rock band on the planet.
Welcome to *Band Maid!*
Yes a real band.
Started in 2013
Still rocking
PO!!
🕊🕊🕊
Welcome to the Band Maid world, the best hard rock band in the world!!! This band is amazing, keep checking them out and you will see how good this band is!!! Thanks for your reaction.
This is one of the best rock bands making music today, male or female (and one of the best live bands performing today). They are incredibly accomplished musicians, and it shows in the diversity and quality of their extensive catalog. You'll love their music - it's unique, creative, and fun!
Man, this is not a crossover I expected. I've been following them for a while, and trust me, they are legit.
This is a real band, I've been following them since their debut in 2013. One of Japan's most popular rock bands.
Their record company Pony Canyon also has an anime division who did this. The opening animated sequence has scenes from their non-animated MVs. When they are flying through the air there are a lot of sight-gags like Misa (bassist) taking a swig from her whisky flask. They have several anime openings and closings, the most recent being "Protect You", the closing music for the Grendizer U. anime. Miku Kobato, the singer/guitarist with the red rose, has a side project Cluppo. As Cluppo she did the closing song "With You" for the anime "Smile of the Arsnotoria the Animation" which is a Pony Canyon anime. Miku had worked in a maid cafe and founded the band. She liked the idea of the "gap", the contrast between their cute look and the their hard rock music. Wonderfully talented band.

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:
2017-STUDIO COAST

*100% satisfaction guarantee or your money back…*
I am late to the party judging by how many Maidiacs have already commented. I will echo the fact that Band-Maid is currently one of the best hard rock bands on the planet. Their live shows which they call Okyuji (servings) to keep with the maid cafe theme, are simply incredible. They routinely play for 2 hours or more. Their 10th year anniversary tour finale okyuji at Yokohama Arena was around three and a half hours long. They released a few official live videos from that concert that you may want to check out. Don't You Tell Me and Hate are straight up bangers with guitar vs bass duels, and Endless Story is a tear jerker ballad that even choked up the lead singer, Saiki, and the drummer, Akane, since it was the last song of their 10th year anniversary tour. Also, they just released a collaboration with The Warning called Show Them which is a must listen. Some other song suggestions are Moratorium, No God, Rinne, Onset, From Now On, Without Holding Back, About Us, Play, Why Why Why, Clang, and Matchless Gum.
I hope that you choose to continue into the Band-Maid pigeon hole. Yes, pigeon hole, as Miku Kobato (band founder, rhythm guitar, vocals) identifies as an 810 year old pigeon. Yes, that is crazy but you will get used to it. (LOL) Have fun with it!
Yes, watch more Band-Maid!! They are awesome in every way and have continued to be my favorite band for many years. Thanks for sharing your reaction.
Definitely check out some more Band-Maid! You won’t be disappointed
Welcome Princess Tierwha! And thank you for reacting to our Maids!
BAND-MAID is an incredibly hard rocking maid band from Japan. You asked “Are the musicians real?” Princess, it doesn’t get any more real than BAND-MAID! Five insanely talented musicians that will melt your face AND your heart.
UNLEASH is a great song and music video, But it’s so much better once you get to know the individual Maids.
BAND-MAID has DOZENS of songs equal to or better than UNLEASH. You’ve only scratched the surface of their talent, and we’re happy to have you along for the ride!
Here’s just a few songs in their incredible catalogue:
HATE? (live)
Don’t you tell ME (live)
From now on (MV)
REAL EXISTENCE (live)
MANNERS (MV)
DOMINATION (live)
PLAY (live)
Put on your seat belt, Princess! You’re going for a hell of a ride!
aaaah....MANNERS !
Yes, those maids are the real musicians. You probably don't want to do two reactions to the same song but their channel has an official live version from their big 10th anniversary concert at Yokohama Arena last year (and the singer goes extra hard live).
Great idea really - to do a follow up to the same song so she can see them perform it live.
In my opinion they are the best hard rock band around today!
BandMaid is amazing, probably my favorite current rock band now a days
As a big rock and metal fan, I was sceptical when I first saw this band in my TH-cam recommendations many years ago. I gave them a try and they became one of my favorite current rock bands. They may seem like a bit of a "gimmick" with the outfits, but they're a completely legit and extremely talented, hardworking group. Their live performances are especially good also.
Everyone's favorite Band-Maid song is invariably the last one they listened to. They really don't have any bad songs!
I highly suggest the MV for Blooming!
BAND-MAID have done loads of Anime Theme Songs, but this isn't one of those. They wanted to do the OMV for this song with them appearing in anime for themselves cleansing the world of COVID. We all wish it was a real anime series. But if you'd like to check out their anime theme songs here's a list: 'Shambles' the season two closer from the Netflix anime, Kengan Ashura is probably their best, but there's also 'Glory' form Yu-Gi-Oh VRAINS, 'Sense' from Platinum End, 'Different' from Log Horizon, and 'With You' by Cluppo for Warau Arsnotoria Sun. Did I miss any? Yes! 'Protect You' from Grendizer U. And, though it doesn't really count, 'Unleash' where the girls appear in anime form themselves.
Yep, they are a real band. They are one of the best live bands on this planet, imo.
I suggest you check their official live videos such as Domination, Freedom, Don't You Tell Me, HATE?, Endless Story, etc.
Have a wonderful Band-Maid journey, PO!🕊💕
Congratulations po! Uve found thr harderst rockin maids ever! They have lots of songs all awesome
Don't fire this reactor bob ... I think she gets it ;) .

Band-Maid is the real deal. I love Love L❤VE BAND-MAID❤ HUGE NUMBER OF GREAT SONGS! Try HATE OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO FROM YOKOHAMA ARENA!
As far as first-time reactions to Band-Maid, yours is ranked - Priceless. Thanks for reacting to Band-Maid. Hope you check out more. I suggest Choose me (Official Live Video), REAL EXISTENCE (Official Live Video), or influencer (Official Music Video) as an introduction to this great band.
Two words "Get Ready"
Oh, they are just the best Hard Rock band on the planet right now.
Some songs: Choose me, Don't Let Me Down, Dice, Real Existence, Don’t you tell Me, Hate (live), Freedom, Influencer, Play, ...
Definitely a real band. They have done anime opening and endings. The drummer Akane is a huge anime fan and got to live out a dream of being animated with this MV. Amazing group of women. I'd recommend forgotten tale their newest video or even Hate? Live as they are an amazing live band.
I'll put my request here but I'll look at your website! :) Thanks for reacting to my favorite band ever! Suggestions would be Puzzle LIVE, or HATE? Live or maybe Choose me Music video. I hope you get into them! They are the best!
Hey Tierwha,
welcome to the world of Band-Maid.
Glad to have you on this journey.
Thank you for this very lively reaction !
BandMaid !!!=the best!--- the liveliest.most stimulating and imaginative and impossibly talented bandmates ever ! you are sooo lucky to be new to them !...you have nothing but dreamlike pleasure ahead,... hearing and seeing their stockpile of pure charm !
.....Try "Daydreaming" !
(Replies and likes cancelled by utube censors.)
Welcome, Tierwha. You are embarking on (along with many others - 220 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 (144 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 80 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, You, 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, The One, 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 Protect You, Sense, Different, 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
Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA (February 14, 2020) “Domination” th-cam.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/w-d-xo.html
ZEPP 2018 “Real Existence” th-cam.com/video/-qQnKILR5u0/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.

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, 33 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, 33 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, 32 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.
[BAND-MAID NEWS]
BAND-MAID PRIME - Special Video Distribution Website. Along with nearly 50 great play-through’s by each member, concerts and skits, Band-Maid management / label(s) have included the Acoustic Christmas 2021, ZEPP 2018 and Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 concerts! Fans can now see more than 50 great live performances with awesome audio, etc. like Fate, I Can't Live Without You and the great MISA / Kanami exchange in Don't You Tell Me. Those concerts are two of the best produced & performed concerts ever recorded, IMO. bandmaidprime.tokyo

The Maids are one of the hardest working supergroups in the business! Their music, their sound, each of the Maids, and the love that permeates their live events is an experience not to be missed. Hope you can catch them LIVE!
Impressive reaction. She watches this with no preconceptions, and quickly learns to just enjoy what is in front of her. I would watch her reactions. She wins an instant sub.
Band-Maid, best band in the world
Thanks for the review 👍
I would say this is THEIR anime opening lol If you wanna check out more their newest song "Forbidden Tale" is really good!
Pigeon talk ... PO! This is their first animated video ... they are real people who were illustrated here and this is the story of what the band went through during the lockdowns. As Maidiacs know, they came out of it stronger than ever and delivered us 2 USA tours and a new album!
BAND MAID is:
Miku Kobato (小鳩 ミク) - rhythm guitar, vocals, PR (Band founder, lyricist ... our flappy pigeon, po!)
Kanami Tōno (遠乃 歌波) - lead guitar (musical composer extraordinaire - the princess)
Akane Hirose (廣瀬 茜) - drums, percussion (see bananas ... and ramen - the gorilla)
Misa - bass guitar (drinks hard liquor and performs without shoes on stage - the barefoot assassin)
Saiki Atsumi (厚見 彩姫) - lead vocals ("we dance in the palm of her hand" - Domination - The Queen)
Check Hate live and Endless Story live from their Yokohama Arena concert 2023

Hate? (live) 2023
There are many more.
Prepare to be dazzled 😂😂
🤘Maids!!! 🤘
Awesome talented...Dive Deep into Maid Rock 👌🔥🥳🤘🤘🤘
Band-Maid has this certain phenomenon thing going regarding their more progy-punk hard rock and Anime written tunes. These songs are hard, complex and will totally grow on you like a thousand pound R&R leech. The Maids in this format are relentless and powerful. Their “AniMaid” (anime) Covid-fighting "Unleash!!!!!" MV and new battle gear is exciting, meaningful and classy! As Maidiacs report: Maid Music will continue to dominate the world until everyone succumbs in ecstasy to its brilliant and undeniable forces!!!!! 💥🎀💥Thx, Tierwha!
Band-Maid for the win!
It was fun watching your head explode in real time. I’m sure the regular commentators will fill you in, but no, they’re not an anime (yet), they are more impressively real. You should watch anyway!
Yep - real band. The best hard rock band on the planet. All top level musicians, and their songwriting is diverse and super awesome. Something like 140 songs but I've lost track as they've been around for 11+ years now. I've been a maidiac for the last 6 years, and they've gotten a lot of us through a lot of shit. This video was a take on them as a group of superheros that destroyed covid and saved the world. (I think - someone correct me please if I"m off) You really need 30 songs just to get an understanding of just how unbelievably good they are. I'm going to recommend three songs that come to mind for you to check out. Puzzle Official Live (hard rock, great song), Hate? from the same show (also an official live) and their brand new MV, Forbidden Tale. But you can't go wrong, because 95% of their songs a GREAT and the other 5% are just good. Their lyrics are typically very uplifting, and even though I tend to like darker songs, I love this band and I'm completely addicted. They're life changing.
It's real band from japan. Lot of reference of old band-maid's video like Thrill, Blooming....band-maid is hard rock band. This have more 120 songs since 11 years.
Dan, Dan, Di-di, Dan, Dan! Best nonsense lyric ever (it's not English, it's not Japanese, it's just what it is), it hits so hard!
This is just their one cool anime music video, and the only one. However... they have about another 140 amazing songs for you to listen to! Subbed, based on you saying you're interested in watching more. Maid-power! Rock on Tierwha!
Holy cow 😱 I could get used to this. Like, 20 seconds into After Life and I'm immediately picked up by this. 🤘
What's this song about? The Coronavirus. The black misty menace at the front of the video is the virus, and you'll see it carries away rhythm guitarist Miku---who did get sick.
Worse for the band, they were prevented from touring, just when things were going very well for them. It was a scary time for them, personally and professionally, just as for a lot of other people. But, they poured themselves into making a new album, and into doing virtual online performances. And as the Coronavirus receded, they found that they still had their fans, and had done very good work. This song is their little celebration of that success, and a thank-you to their fans.
I've seen them live in US, and they are one of the best rocks bands in the world.
There's a lot more to enjoy, if you feel like diving in deeper. BTW, the folks who request BAND-MAID reactions on TH-cam are the "carrier pigeons". One of those sent you the suggestion, of course. Miku Kobato's name, in Japanese, includes a visual pun for the word for "pigeon", as I understand it. She has a pigeon embossed on her custom guitar. And of course, you'll see the pink pigeon in the anime parts of the MV.
Anyway, thanks again for a great reaction!
To add to the story, Saiki was supposedly the one who pushed for online concerts, and in the video, you see her continuing to sing and perform while everyone else is bummed out, cheering them up.
"Hato" is Japanese for pigeon (also dove, apparently). "Ko" can mean small or child. When you stick them together, hato changes to bato (very common kind of change in Japanese when you stick word parts together). Therefore, Kobato's name is a pun for "small pigeon".
Welcome to BANDMAID world 🎉
you will get into a rabbit hole ✌🏻😁
I’ve been trying to get into BandMaid!!
Now that was fun! 🎉
Welcome to the world of Band Maid 🌍 ❤
No doubt you’ll find all the answers to your questions in the comments. And then some.
I’m really looking forward to seeing you react to some of their live performances. Don’t let the fun fool you. These are serious musicians.
“Play,” official live video is what I would recommend for you

🕊️🌏🌎🌍
A lot of your questions about the band will be answered by watching one of their live performance videos. I suggest "Thrill" (your choice about music video or live or both)
💜💛❤💙💚
Welcome to the Maidiacs Princess Tierwha
Been a fan since 2017. Great band, cool to see you react to them. Keep up the good work!
Just an awesome band, the very best of the very best. The maids have a ton of videos on their official YT channel, pick any one (preferably a live performance) to see what they can really do.
Fun reaction. Thanks. I really enjoyed it. You should react to their MV for the song Influencer. By the way, they have done a number of songs for anime. Check out the Sense or Different MVs for examples.
You have 2 choice join or JOIN PO! They are best live, but 1st song Thrill is where most people start.
Their leader Miku Kobato has a solo hippy pop song that will melt your heart in strawberry ginger ale, (Cluppo / PEACE&LOVE)
Thanks for reacting to the greatest band in the world! Great reaction to our Maids, the most amazing, talented, funny and humble ladies out there.
Welcome to Band-Maid!!! Thanks and have a good day!!!
It was hard for me to believe it at first when I first saw them, that five of the best musicians I've ever heard all had enough sense of humor to wear maid outfits, but yes, that is 100% them and they sound even better live. I highly suggest the live version of this song as well as Domination Live, Hate live and Puzzle live. Genuinely the best band this short century.
Band Maid is the real deal... if you think the MV's are good... Band Maid Live is amazing.... you can pick any Live performance ... No God, Puzzle, Hate? Dominatioin, Manners/Black Hole.. pick any of them and fasten your seat belt....
😁🥰😍🕊👀
Please check out the live version of Unleash. This band is best viewed live.
They have over 120 songs in their catalog. I hope you enjoy their videos.
Welcome to your new favorite band, PO!
I sent this to you a while back. Turns out you don't listen to *my* recommendations of music. :T
Edit: Btw, just givin ya shit :3 Glad you enjoyed it!
AHHHH
MISA MISA MISA!!!!!
Real band -- all women, Japanese, dressed as maids from a maid cafe. They have done a number of intros or outros for anime shows. Try "Sense", "Shambles", and others will recommend the other anime songs. Band-Maid have been going for 10 years. Very real band.
band maid LEZGOOOO
Best girls band in the world at this time !
🤘🤘🤘🤘
You should check out, Trill and From now on.
Another new Maidiac! Po!🕊
This song is not for/from an Anime. However this link shows songs that are: th-cam.com/users/shortsYWxVZS1uY28
Song about Covid
BabyMetal, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, MTH(Maximum the Hormone), and Band-Maid, imo, are an Otaku's gateway into Japan's Rock/Metal Scene. Honestly if you enjoyed Band-Maid, but want heavier vocals I highly suggest and recommend Nemophila and Hanabie!!!!
🤘🤘
