- My thanks to all the Maids and their fans for the huge turnout for the last video. I would love to thank @RogerChance5309 for introducing me to the Maids and thank you all for joining me on this journey
Original - • BAND-MAID / Thrill (スリ... - เพลง
Rock never died, it's been alive and thriving in Japan for decades 🤘
This is their first ever MV, that saved the band from getting disbanded by the management, which went viral world wide🕊️
This song “Thrill” was actually a B-side to their debut single “Love, Passion, Matador” which has some Spanish music taste and their red maid costumes have homage to Spanish flamenco style dress, that are visible in this MV.
It was the band member’s bold choice to create MV for their B-side song Thrill, rather than the A-side song, that saved themselves and finding/selecting their sound they wanted go on with.
Thrill - 2014. the Maids could play this in their sleep now. Still a landmark release.
What can I say, we love our Maids. We are Maidiacs for life 🤘
Spot on 👍🍻
Madiacs for life!
Everything they do is for the band, not themselves. When Miku founded BAND-MAID in 2013 she realized her voice didn’t have the power needed for their style of music. She found Saiki and stepped out of the lead vocal role. Miku didn’t know how to play guitar and they needed a rhythm guitar so Kanami could focus on lead. Kanami taught her how to play guitar. How many people would do that? Kanami’s solos always fit the song, not a crazy ‘watch me’ style. They are close to the goal of “World Domination” after 10 years of hard work and persistence while having fun on stage.
This band turned out to be exactly what I needed but had absolutely no idea anything like it existed until I stumbled across them about 3.5 years ago. I saw them live 9 times over the last 20 months or so even though the closest show was 4 hours away.
We are Legion, for we are many.
Glad you’re back, and don’t worry, despite us being on the internet we tend to be more your age than younger. Band Maid has a super power that is to instantly ignite a level of nostalgia for our era of music more than anything in decades.
You’ve found their first music video and it’s a great song that saved the band. Unbeknownst to them at the time the label was planning on dropping them if this single didn’t go well. Instead it got picked up by a Facebook group that brings eastern music to the west and it went viral. Without this song we might have never heard of Band Maid and the world would be just a little darker.
There are some really fun facts about this, the biggest being that the Rhythm guitarist, Miku, could not play guitar when this was filmed and basically used it as a prop. Kanami (lead guitar) has since taught her over the years and she’s quite a capable player these days.
We love Misa and all the maids.❤
Maidiacs in the house! We love supporting those who love supporting our Maids. Band-Maid are masters of mixing genre and transitions. As many say...Band-Mad doing Band-Maid things. Keeps us engaged. Keep on rocking...you only have 120+ awesome songs to go. PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘
The first Band-Maid song I ever heard was an instramenal called " Onset, " and to this day,
I consider it to be 4 min. of the best rocking the frick out that i have ever heard !! Highly recommend !
😏♥️🎙🎸🥁😎🤘
Onset, or that moment back in 2019 when a middle aged Spaniard in London was bitting his lips to stop himself to start screaming like a teenage Beatle's groupie up in the balcony of the Islington Assembly Hall...
Yup, me too. YT algorithm popped it up for me, said to myself the thumbnail looked interesting and proceeded to listen to it 5 times in a row. Maidiac since and probably for the rest of my life.
It was my 2nd and I was already bought and sold on this amazing band
The Maids have a passionate fan base and the vast majority of the Maidiacs are (as would be expected by the Maids) respectful, gracious and will absolutely support getting the Maids better known to the world, a glorious band made up of glorious people, the band of my 65 years, cheers from down under 👍🍻
Thanks for listening to the maids! The bring the rock sound that many have been missing for decades ;)
Miku (red rose) was the one who worked in a maid cafe after she was in a minor idol group with 2 other girls, they were called Lil Cumin. She was determined to start a band with the maid aesthetic while playing cool rock music. The band was originally meant to be a 4-piece, but after a couple of shows, Miku felt she didn't have the right voice for that kind of music. So, she stepped back and they brought in Saiki (blue rose). With this being their first MV, if you look closely, you'll realize that Miku is just using the guitar as a prop. She didn't start playing guitar till after the band was playing live shows. She was being taught how to play by Kanami, so after 10 years she has become a very good rhythm guitarist along with being the main lyricist. Kanami arranges the songs with input from the others. This group of ladies make up the perfect team with no egos and the will to constantly improve with the goal of world domination. 🤘
Band-Maid is a generational talent, maybe more than that. Unfortunately, they still don't have the universal recognition they deserve. Rock has been in the doldrums and Band-Maid is at the forefront of a renaissance. Their catalog is deep and their composition is consistently great, so plenty of rock treasure to run your hands through. Thrill was their breakout back in 2014, so just keep it going!
If you play band maid we will come
Yes sir we sure will.
Absolutely 👍🍻
*Yessir*
😁
😎
👍🤘
Thanks for the reaction and comments. B-M has come a long way since releasing Thrill (MV). Miku (founder/rhythm guitar/vocals) didn't even know how to play the guitar at the filming of this video. She's now an incredible guitarist...one can only imagine how awesome it'd be to have Kanami(lead guitar) personally teach you to play an instrument. Wind forward to the present, these ladies are arguably the best live rock band on the planet and certainly the most likeable. Cheers!
Over a 100 songs and counting, you can not go wrong with BAND-MAID. Rock, pop, punk, metal whatever genre, and they have acoustic versions of some of their songs too and instruments. Thank you for taking the time to react to our favourite band.
By the way BAND-MAID is a band that highlights their bass player more often than not.
Told ya. I said you are about to be bombarded by the sweetest fans in the world.
Thrill, the most important song in their history. Milestone.
🍺🥴🤘🏻
How old is this video?
Kanami isn't playing a PRS.
Akane is wearing Tiny Hat-san.
MISA is wearing shoes.
Saiki is wearing a regular maid outfit and can't figure out what to do with her hands.
Miku is wearing a few pounds of metal and wood around her neck and doesn't have a clue what to do with it.
And they still slay.
Excellent comment!!!
Good one...might have to steal it! LOL JK, great comment though. PO!🕊
One of the few things that are just as good when you travel back in time. BAND-MAID.
They call her the barefoot assassin bc she doesn't shoes but she keeps time with the drummer thru the floor which I didn't know was even a thing , also she murders people with her killer bass licks
For over 25 years, Rush has been my all time favorite band until I discovered Band-Maid which will now hold the top spot until the day I die.
The Maidiac got your back brother
Best rock band on the planet. The Maidiacs love their band.
Who are we... interesting question.
Here's a pretty good guide to all things BAND-MAID: www.youtube.com/@Ohrenje
No way I could not subscribe after an intro like that. Thanks for the reaction!
You are interested in bassist MISA.
I recommend Onset live, Without Holding back, No God live, Influencer, etc.
These bass part are very impressive.
MISA's bass playing is really amazing.
TRIVIA: When Thrill was recorded, Miku couldn't play guitar. Then Kanami taught her to play rhythm. Thrill was their make it or break it song. Had it not clicked (literally), we would not have BAND-MAID.
And yet somehow, she was playing guitar for half their set at places like Club Crawl (a $3300usd Rickenbacker ) after this was released. The other half she was still walking around with a mic like Saiki does, as that was the original paradigm for the band. Two front women.
@@jeffersoncosgrove1910 Uh, A Rick 620 costs about a third of that.
Welcome to the community brother. As a 54 year old rocker, I am continually amazed by this band. I thought rock was dead until I found BAND-MAID. Hope you enjoy the journey as much as I have 👍
Check out From Now On to see what they are really capable of.😢
Freedom and Domination
Live!😉
Seeing the Maids live and up close in a small, intimate club is a "Thrill" of a lifetime. One should consider themselves lucky to experience them like this because it's becoming rare. And as for sound... it'll be the best hard rockin' sound you can imagine -- clear, discreet, powerful and full of energy and joyful vibes! (And no compression!! ;-) Just ask anyone who's experienced them live. In fact, we've been getting an earful of "wow's" and "that was incredible" from all the reactors and commenters from their successful 2022 & 2023 Band-Maid USA Tours. Rock on, Jack!
This is one of only a select few songs on which Misa plays her bass entirely by finger picking. She uses a pick for most songs and has a "magic trick" where she tucks her pick between her index finger and palm in order to play slap & pop style, then switch back to picking instantly. She was asked in an interview what happens if she drops the pick and she replied "I never drop it".
We are more than fans, we are called Maidiacs! They were this good way back then, good hard rock song! The MISA bass solo is what really hooked me on Band-Maid!
I'm 60, so........lol. If you want some bass..........try the official video for Dice. Also on the trivia side, Misa almost left BAND-MAID just before Thrill. As I understand it, she wasn't happy with the music that they were being given to play. They were not allowed to record their own songs yet. Note that from Thrill on, they embraced their inner rock stars. Thank you BAND-MAID for staying together and making some really AMAZING music!
@3:40 You'd be surprised to know the average age of many, not all, Maidiacs are in their 40's +
Welcome to the club 😀
🕊🕊🕊
..fun fact I did the music thing as well in the 90's and early 2000's
Drums in my case.
Their first 20+ songs were pop rock, pop punk styled. Thrill was straight up rock. Thank God the band insisted on doing Thrill as their first MV, over the managements's choice. The success of Thrill lead to more solid rock songs. I consider two that followed, Real Existence, and Non Fiction Days, as prototypes for the "BAND MAID" sound. All these were not written by the band. Compare them with the first band written songs, Alone and YOLO.
♥ these girls! Us Band Maid fans are legion 😉 Song's still a Thrill! 😎
I suggest these BM songs: Dice, Manners, Bubble, Blooming, No God (live) & Puzzle (live) 🎸
This song was on their second album, New Beginning, which has a couple of other songs that sound like they came from the '80s, like "Shake That!!". While this music isn't as complicated as their newer music, it's still a great album.
Jackmeri , This was BAND-MAID`s 1st MV from 2014 , it saved BAND-MAID from being dropped by there label , the label told BAND-MAID they would do a MV if it diodn`t do well they would be dropped , good thing the Ladies insisted on doing the song Thrill cause thats the type of music they wanted to do , there label had another song in mind , but they stuck to there guns and did Thrill , the video got posted on a J-rock radio web site that went world wide and it blew-up so much , BAND-MAID though there channel had been haked , but no just overseas fans loved it , there label decided to keep them , i`m gonna watch your Hate ? reaction next it just showed up on my youtube .
They were already the real deal 10 years ago, but foolish me had no idea. The only good thing about the pandemic is that it led me to discover them, and it made rock lovers worldwide let go of their preconceptions and recognize these Japanese women as the ultimate rock stars. ✨🥰🤘
BAND-MAID take the best parts of the music you love, mix them up, and create something new that sounds fresh and satisfying. The way they switch up the feel makes each song seem like a mini concert.
Now you’ve seen their latest concert video of the last song off their last album, as well as their very first music video (of a song which was written outside of the band). Compare the two and observe how much has changed over the intervening seven years, including: the intensity and complexity of the music; SAIKI and KOBATO‘s voices; AKANE’s drumming, and especially how the maid outfits changed as they began able to make their sartorial choices.
DOMINATION, live from 2020 will show you what they were up to half-way from THRILL to now.
That first paragraph of your comment - you smacked that nail squarely on it's head!
Before alot of us were born hahahahaha. Little does he know .
We are the MAIDIACS & the best & most close-knit community on social media :)

Discovered this band almost 4 years ago now I think (maybe 3). They have a phenomenal catalog (been thru it all numerous times): large, diverse, and creative. You're going to have so much fun journeying through their music. Will really make you smile! I recommend reacting to anything from their Studio Coast live from 2017; it's a great way to start loving this band. I'll esp recommend Puzzle and Moratorium from that performance. If you want to hear something recent, try Shambles then Bestie MVs from their YT channel (gives you a good idea of their versatility).
There is a fine live recording of this from a recent Day of Maid online concert. Miku is playing her Zemaitis guitar and you can see how far the band has progressed. Their transitions are extremely impressive. Any band would kill to be so adept at writing songs !
The best thing about Band-Maid is that they got better release after release. When they first formed their management provided them with songwriters and producers and refused to let them record their own music. The musicianship was there from day one and the drive to create their own sound was there too. Kentaro Akutsu who wrote "Thrill" collaborated with them and helped them. Eventually Kanami was able to record "Alone", her first Band-Maid song. Band-Maid now has near complete artistic control, and taking control is a recurring theme of Band-Maid songs. Between "Thrill" and "Hate?" there are over one hundred diverse and original songs.
So they could play but we're not allowed to?
At what point were they allowed to play the music they were portrayed as playing?
@@jackmeri You've totally misinterpreted this.
They have always been good musicians, always performed and recorded the music they released. But, it wasn't until they released the song "Alone" that they were permitted to perform a song they themselves had wrote. Since that time they have written all of their own music, and the perform it also.
I have seen them perform live twice. They're for real.
@@etoineschrdlu9382 I gotcha
The post chorus. (I think it starts with a Bb power chord)
You’re the first reactor I’ve seen point out the small musical detail that instantly hooked me. It’s that change into the second half of the chorus that made me smile, “Now that’s a pro level song!”
At the time, I didn’t know the Maids didn’t write it, but it compelled me to check out more. The rest is history.
Band Maid are ridiculously versatile songwriters. Name a genre and there’s a song or two that includes that element.
For you? Why not check out the closest they’ve gotten to “hair metal?” “DICE,” official music video.
The Japanese rock and metal scene is on fire. Just overwhelmed by female rockers and other creative artists. Band Maid is unique and there is no other band that compares to their style and music. But here are some others from different musical lanes you might boost your subscribers with:
Lovebites. Iron Maiden style metal
Wagakki Band: Traditional Japanese instruments/rock performers
Babymetal: Heavy metal studio band behind “kawaii” pop trio. Metal theater
Hanabie: metalcore
Nemophila: heavy metal with the screamo stuff
Maximum the Hormone: legendary metal band. A style fusion of Red Hot Chili Peppers and System of a Down
good to have you onboard Jackmeri, if you need a new bass MISA's new signature bass began shipping a couple of days ago, Miku also has a signature guitar named "Flappy Pigeon" and Kanami is endorsed by PRS and Akane by Tama
I forgot to mention before Kanami switched to PRS she was using Addictone guitars, the one in the video is a Kanami signature model still available for sale. she has a red and a green version
MISA❤AKANE❤MIKU❤SAIKI❤AKANE
Like everyone says, this song saved them! Personally I really like their earlier stuff on "Maid in Japan".
Saw BandMaid 4 times, once at the Yokahama show, I also saw Warrent in Detroit back in the day. Warrant couldn't tune Akane's guitar! Janie Lane was drunk before the show even started. They had NO respect for the people who came to see them. BM held not 1 but 2 online concerts during the pandemic. Wrote two amazing songs addressed to their fans, there is no comparison.
*Warrant couldn't tune Akane's guitar!* that is impressive since she is the drummer 😂🤣😂
Yup! Which means it can’t be done!
@@dustykatt Nice save 😉
This was their first music video before they started writing their own stuff; pretty simple by modern Maid standards but still a banger. I think it's very fair to say that Band-Maid is a bass-driven band but not a bass-focused band. So much of Band-Maid is carried by Misa and Akane on bass and drums that it allows Kanami and Miku to play more riffs and emphatic chords or let Kanami go off on an adventure in the background without losing the plot of the song. There's a level of depth to their self-written music that is simply lacking in most 5 piece bands.
I suggest checking out Domination LIVE (not the MV) next as it is another fun live video.
A lot of Maidiacs are Boomers and Gen X. :D The younger ones are starting to trickle in though as they are realizing that rock n roll is amazing after all. And with the direction Metal is heading into lately it's attracting Gen Z 🙄 as well.
You'll see what I mean over time. These incredible ladies are supremely talented. Great songs and incredible live performers. The worst part about this group. Is being able to stomach the fan base. And after a couple of reactions and reading some of the comments you'll see what I mean. Good luck and keep up the good work.
I love Band Maid and am a Maidiac. If you are looking for another rock band out of Mexico, listen to Evolve by The Warning. They are 3 sisters out of Mexico and are a fantastic band and sing in English except for a few songs. The Warning will be opening for Band Maid in Japan next month and they are all fans of one another.
This is the song that started their career basically as it went viral and the rest is history. Misa is barefoot most of the time, but does wear shoes on outdoor performances on hot days or in early videos as this. This is version 1 of their maid uniforms I believe.
We love this band.
If you plan to continue into the pigeon hole, i can do no better than to quote Homer Simpson...
"Prepare to be DAZZLED."
Strap in.
Haha! Yes, don't disrespect Kanami in front of Gary! 🤣🤣🤣
Sir, I would like to commend you for your deep knowledge of music and chord progressions. When you gave examples of how they slid to ‘pop style’ and then back to ‘rock style’ I understood exactly what you meant and the genius of the composition. All to change the feel of the song. Very clever of them. Keep up the great analyses and examples. I like this kind of stuff!
Well, now you have another subscriber. Thanks!
Before any of us were born? You have no clue about the age structure of us Maidiacs 😂
A next song? I can recommend "Play" (live) which was meant to be an instrumental but Saiki liked it so much, so they added vocals to it 😊
This band is just great. Growing up listening to hard rock and heavy metal it's nostalgic. Yes, the girls look adorable in their battle uniforms but they all are oozing talent, determination, humbleness and personality. Just keep at it and we have a new member in our worldwide club of masters and princesses.
Great reaction (subbed on your 1st reaction). BAND-MAID rekindled my love of rock music when I discovered them back in 2020. They are top tier in my opinion but there are also so many other great bands in Japan. Enjoy your musical journey! Cheers from Australia!
JACKMERI: You are now a MAIDIAC in training! 12 more reaction videos and we’ll show you the secret handshake!
You have to react to “from now on!” It’s an instrumental, so no lyrics to distract from the music. Fasten your seatbelt!
More BAND-MAID please!
Seems like I have my work cut out for me this weekend.
The Maidiacs are real, we will forever love our Maids. Your first video and then this really shows their growth over the last 10 years. was Enjoy the Pigeon Hole 😁🤩
Bro keep going...band maid #1
You may want to check out the band “The Warning” and their song Dust to Dust. Also “Kids rock for kids” and their cover of Hysteria by Muse.
This MV is 10 yrs old,and was their 1st MV,,The bands label at the time were about to ditch them,but this vid went viral very quickly,,by the way they are no longer with that label,great reaction sir.,,you have so much gold to see,i wish i was starting over again.
Keep up the reactions Jack - great job!
Check out the songs YOLO, Dice, alone and the NoN Fiction days, you'll thank me later
8:23 Let's be honest though, Warrant is a low bar to clear.
👍😁🤗🤘🥰🕊👀
🍺🥴
スリル = Zuriru... the Japanese loan word for Thrill. I'm learning Japanese... because of Band-Maid. :)
Warrant, Cinderella, Slaughter, Britny Fox, White Lion... so many 80s hair metal bands would have sold their souls to sound half this good, agreed Jack! And I'd say that Band-Maid is even better than the best songs from the best bands of that genre. Round and Round by Ratt? Kickstart My Heart by Motley Crue? Burning Like a Flame by Dokken? Rock You Like a Hurricane by the Scorps? All great... but I like most Band-Maid songs more. Like 70 Band-Maid songs are better than most hair metal or classic rock.
@@mikeholmes5308 Would love them to cover Kickstart, and AC/DC's Let There Be Rock

At this point I'm always a little uncomfortable if this video is someones first experience of BAND-MAID. The video and song have huge historical significance to the band and Maidiacs and is a pretty good little rock song well performed. But to me it always seems like it's BAND-MAID pretending to be BAND-MAID. Fortunately, for me at least, this was not your first BAND-MAID. Enjoy your next one.
