Schedule: Next is "Onset." Then "Moratorium." Then "Blooming." Thank you for all of your recommendations! Band-Maid ROCKS! :D
Noise! Slapp base Bando-Maid! Epico! 💝👍🎌✌
A god tier schedule for band maid
All of those are great songs and well worth reacting to. But I'd really suggest a foray into their alter-ego band Band-Maiko. Their 2 songs as Band-Maiko are stellar, and emblematic of the creativity and boldness that this band can offer.
@@drogonr9318 Sounds like I'll have to add that to me list! Thank you!
Add Puzzle to the list if possible, I swear they sound like AC/DC on that one xD. If you have trouble finding concert footage I can link you to the videos :D
This song was originally meant to be an instrumental but they liked it so much that they asked Miku to write lyrics for it. Some people aren't fond of all the "la, la, la's" but with some of their songs they like to have a section, due to the language barrier, where they can get the crowd involved & to be able to sing along.
*Saiki:* happiness
*Miku:* (there is no way out) (po!)
*Saiki:* anger
*Miku:* (It’s gonna be all right) (po!)
*Saiki:* sadness
*Miku:* (let go of your mind) (po!)
*Saiki:* Accept everything
*Saiki:* Take off
*Miku:* (there is no way out) (po!)
*Saiki:* Get on
*Miku:* (It’s gonna be all right) (po!)
*Saiki:* with life
*Miku:* (let blow your mind) (po!)
Is your Mind blown yet?
More *MISA, MISA, MISA* try: *Don't you tell ME (Live)* th-cam.com/video/foqErbEw05o/w-d-xo.html
You are everywhere but your doing a great job. I wish you would help promote BRATS they have a new album and I think REI is still only 18years old. She's done a lot she was one of the girls in LADY BABY . Check out the songs MRS DOWNER and NO MORE NO MORE. Also MUTANT MONSTER try NO WAY from the Hong Kong Rocks concert and watch her dance with the bass or the video for KAMISAMA. BRIDEAR have a couple of new songs IGNITE is quite good. Your challenge should you accept it is to bring these bands to prominence. Good luck.
This is my usual goto for introducing Band-Maid to people. This brings a lot together. It shows what a popular rock song should sound like. The vocals are awesome, but you don't need to know what she is actually saying. The band is really having a good time and you can feel it. If rock was more like this I feel rock would not be so dead in the west.
Me too. I use this as a litmus test.
To kinda answer you from an earlier react, Japan still teaches the arts in school, music, dance, drawing, etc. (Korea also). Talent is recognized early and there is a system/infrastructure to nurture that talent. MISA and Akane are from the Tokyo School of Music, Kanami continued with her music while getting degrees in Economics and Marketing. Miku went through the Jpop system unsuccessfully. Saiki as a girl went with her Mother to Karaoke bars where she would sing at 14 she began formal vocal training. Saiki was a backup singer and dancer before Band-Maid.
I appreciate someone in the TH-cam community understanding how hard it is for bands to be making money right now.
The first song i ever heard of them was "DICE" i fell in love. I was like OMFG that's so freacking awesome. 2 weeks after i went to Paris alone to see them perfoming in live. And since then it's still the best thing i have ever seen. At the end of the show, i couldn't stop smiling haha i was like the happiest guy in the world xD I was mind blowed that show was AMAZING. What you see on youtube is nothing compared when you are in the pit the feeling is sooo much different ! My man if you have the chance to see them ... Don't even think just go for it !!!!
Ps: make a reaction to BAND-MAID - DICE :D
Listen to the live version of "Clang". Nice bass and guitar conversation.Also "Don`t you tell me" Live. Great stuff. Band-Maid: Stay strong and Play long!
You really should check their song Blooming. It's an MV though, I guess the live version of that song from Feb. 14,2020 was taken down. But seriously, Blooming. One of their songs from their latest album. It's a killer. Has one of the best guitar solos of all time ofc IMO.
Hard to argue with the quality of this performance - but they outdo themselves on the new Blu-Ray from 2/14/20 - insanely good intro added.
MISA : lead bass, barefoot assassin.
As a lead guitarist, imagine having MISA and Akane behind you laying it down. Kanami mostly soloed through all the songs with the older stuff but as Miku improves in leaps and bounds I guess we'll hear less of that in the future.
Everyone has their favourite - mine is Akane, the drummer 🥁😍
Perhaps as a foreigner (English is my second language) I didn't catch what you mean by Kanami mostly... (up to) ... in the future.
The guitarist in me has to go with Kanami, but that bassist also seems reserved and totally badass :)
If you want to check their latest performances from them, here’s the full concert on Feb 14th. m.bilibili.com/video/BV1LK411W7QQ
Imagine if the band’ strings (guitar/bass) are replaced with a full orchestra, it still works? I think it does. And, that’s how Kanami composes her music.
Mincho is a genius. And yes, I can totally hear this in an orchestral arrangement.
Akane's drumming(bratt-bratt-bratt) is phoenominal in this one! :) this is defninitely a Misa-Akane-Kanami song though. let the trio "play". sub'd since you plan on doing more of bandmaid ;)
Thank you for the sub! You'll be happy to see my next video in about 30 minutes ;)
Japanese metal is amazing, feels so fresh....if you like it a bit heavier check out Unlucky Morpheus black pentogram, probably my favourite Japanese band.
If you ever get the chance to, do check out PLAY on the new BluRay / DVD that you talked about. Line Cube Shibuya 14Feb2020. It makes me forget this version you are reacting to exists because it is so much better and more fun with the extra long intro.
Everything on the BluRay/DVD is awesome though. Recommend you get it if you can.
I will certainly try! Thanks!
I'm still waiting on mine. I guess I'll keep hanging out on YT until it shows up.

Damned, gotta love that double kicks by Akane!!!
Check out onset or blooming
Moratorium is bad ass, and Onset should be the encore
Damn, after you said that I checked my created Band Maid live playlist and lost another 4 tracks. Only the ones with hundreds of thousands of views. Someone will re-up them eventually. There are still plenty in the list for you to react or just listen to....Chur from NZL.
There was one with like 12 million views or was it 18 million views?
Great reaction man! Try Onset (live) next, its a beautiful instrumental!
“Moratorium” Rocks, play the “spot the influences game” if you haven’t recorded it yet...
If you get to a week of Lovebites, start at their beginning, 2017’s “Don’t Bite the Dust” th-cam.com/video/Zx9KPfvMVjY/w-d-xo.html
Know that MVs are called PVs (promotional vids) in Japan, often released only as short versions, as opposed to MVs on a for-sale dvd... 😉
BandMaid’s first vid is very cool too. Unlike the past 3albums, they didn’t write the first few, but it’s still a great intro for a band, and it going viral a couple years later saved them from breaking up. “Thrill” th-cam.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/w-d-xo.html
@gZcA if you are looking for an absurd guitar solo and Akane as a locomotive, you have to listen Rinne
I saw them live, and they were truly crazy a divine power. they really have fun when they play and transmit it to the public, the result is a great emotional state, as I have not felt since the early 80s with super rock bands, they are definitely the best rock band today, especially live. live they do things that are truly incredible, the intro to the songs also jazz-rock that makes the hair stand up, Akane is crazy live, deadlifts and truly incredible and original passages, and a drum solo from out of your mind (I don't understand why there aren't a video of Akane drum solo)
Band-Maidの世界征服に協力してください！
Play at Shibuya line cube is dope.
MISA MISA MISA!
Nice reaction. I know a lot of BM fans suggest Play, but this song doesn't make my top 40 for BM. For me it displays their musicianship just fine, but then flags on all the other stuff. Their catalogue is well worth checking out even if you don't make vids on it (imo, it shows a surprising degree of versatility and creativity for such a youngish band).
yup i know where you are coming from on this. i discovered band maid in 2016 with real existence and i just love this band. i have many maid songs on my PLAY list. ha.ha. but this song is actually not one of my favorites either-instrumentally great but the chorus just lacks something for me say compared to dice or shake that or many others .one of my favorite in my top 5 or 10 is called key from the first cd not on youtube but many fans aren't familiar with it which is too bad. it was not written by them but the songwriter seems to have captured the sound band maid was going for.link here . the lower photo of kanami has the play button on it.just in case you never heard it.japaneseonestoplyrics.blogspot.com/2017/11/band-maid-key-lyrics-and-translation.html
@@thedocofrock1890 Never heard it before and thank you for sharing. Interesting that this song was not written by them and is such an early song. It def has a BM feel to it, quite melodic and "complex" - lots of sound variety. I'm sure the girls (Kanami) were developing their writing/composition skills, and performing new songs written by pros no doubt helped them on their way. From what I can tell, Kanami is the primary musical genius behind the band's sound. The others, esp Misa, contribute heavily to the arrangement of their particular instruments, but I think it's Kanami that is the primary creative force. Is this correct?
@@drogonr9318 glad you liked it -half of band maid fans are unfamiliar with the first cd 'maid in japan'. all songs were written by a guy named akutsu kentarou. some songs on it hace more of a pop rock feel to them but after a couple of listens key just really grabbed me. all of the songs are quite good and i just love the cd which originally was discontinued then 2 years ago they re-released it with 2 more songs added on. here is another great one you may not have heard-bye my tears-great harmonies my saiki and miku and a killer lead solo by kanami.japaneseonestoplyrics.blogspot.com/2017/11/band-maid-bye-my-tears-lyrics-and-translation.html
@@drogonr9318 and yes kanami is the main songwriter since 'alone' in 2016 with miku doing lyrics with input from saiki
@@thedocofrock1890 Thanks again for sharing. Again, that song had the BM feel to it. Great song, a little sad that BM didn't write it lol. When I discovered this band a couple weeks ago, I promptly bought up all their albums on Google Play, but apparently only the last 3 in their discography is available (at least for us here in the USA). Nice to listen to some surprisingly good stuff from their first album, and to hear their growth as a band since that early stuff.
I've noticed that a lot of the more dynamic bands out there are typically comprised of a happy collision of unbelievably gifted musicians that push each other to next level stuff - often driven by one monster creative talent. Seems Kanami occupies that latter role in BM.
After four up tempo rock songs you should listen to the acoustic version of „Anemone“ with Kanami on acoustic guitar and backing vocals and Saiki singing. There is a live version:

„Real existence“ live is great, too:

I strongly support these suggestions! And good on you for providing the links! It’s just the right thing to do.💪🏻🤘🏻
Thank you for the recommendations!
I honestly appreciate people with an excellent taste...
@PANORAMA 45
Thanks! I've been looking for something with Kamani singing.
Classic rock 2.O
Not to be that guy, but doesn't that just make it Rock n Roll??? I mean it's the newest form and won't be classic for at least 2 Decades!! 🤔
😁🤘🤘
Of course they modified that intro to add Miku (Rhythm Guitar) to the intro - th-cam.com/video/-unnrYieh6k/w-d-xo.html
Then since Sept 2019 they have switched to a different intro that they have been using until now. They have added an official video - th-cam.com/video/3LxX_t4vg7U/w-d-xo.html
Happy that you got to hear it and it wasn't taken down (yet). Hopefully the link I gave you for Moratorium stays up as well. If you're doing an encore with Band-Maid you ABSOLUTELY MUST check out Onset. A purely instrumental song. th-cam.com/video/roP4HFlGBUI/w-d-xo.html
That link above is the live version, btw. :)
it's not the band who takes the videos down. It's the record label. The band likes the people reactions.
The label works in the band´s interest. They make a living playing music and selling it. Right now concerts and travels are postponed, the income is generated only by selling the new dvd. It´s short sighted to think the record company and the band are two different parties. When you release material that you do not own, you are stealing from the artists.
Would you like to work for nothing, and someone else is making money with your hard work?
@@panorama4526 "When you release material that you do not own, you are stealing from the artists."
It's a baseless belief, which was actually refuted many times by scientific research. Videos and reactions on TH-cam in fact serve as advertisements. The management should have actually paid to the people who advertise the band in this way.
You can prove anything with „scientific research“ when you know what the outcome should be to serve a purpose.
Band Maid have their own youtube channel, where they release what they think is appropriate. They have the right to do that.
No one else has. If you do so, you violate the artist´s copyright. I think there is no dispute about that. And record companies know very good the difference between PR and stealing.
There are already too many people around who are ready to take from anyone, but have nothing to offer themselves. Band Maid deserves to be paid for their effort and talent.
@@panorama4526 Of course any artist deservers to be paid for his or her work. But obscurity does not promote it. People who react to the copyrighted material on TH-cam, don't get anything from it. All the revenue goes to the song owner. Therefore, the more you distribute BAND-MAID videos, the more money BAND-MAID gets.
@@VladimirChupin How many views/ad clicks would you need to match the $50 or so that a Blu-ray costs? Looking online is inconclusive, but averaging out, it looks like 1 million views gets you about $20,000, or the same as 400 Blu-rays. They sold 5000 blu-rays of their Shibuya Cube show in the first week. The fact is that the blu-ray is not cheap, especially with postage from Japan to consider, and it's clear a fair number wouldn't bother buying it if it was all there for free on TH-cam.
If the band/management thought they'd make more money by having each song in their show available on TH-cam, they'd probably put them up on TH-cam.
There are (or at least were) dozens of live clips from the Zepp and Studio Coast shows. They don't need to have most of the Shibuya Cube show up as well to promote the band.
Oh, snap. You watch Mover, too! At least, I'm assuming you do based on the TH-cam recommendations. LOL
YES!!!! MISA!!!! MISA!!!! MISA!!!!!
I'd suggest Blooming, but theres also a great live show of 'don't you tell me' with a bit of a surprise in it. It surprises me every time i've watched it.
Blooming- th-cam.com/video/uUt_JBMocKM/w-d-xo.html
don't you tell me - th-cam.com/video/foqErbEw05o/w-d-xo.html
Ayee he’s back
If you like the Call & Response "Battles" between MISA and Kanami, then you have to do, 'Don't You Tell Me' LIVE. It has The Ultimate Battle! th-cam.com/video/foqErbEw05o/w-d-xo.html
Shall do, thanks!
Now you have to do a react redux to the version of Play from their 14-2-2020 show. It has evolved some. And the "intro" doesn't exist on the album.
For your encore, may I suggest Gion-cho from Band-Maiko, which are their alter egos.
Thanks for reacting to more Band Maid. As a guitarist, you have to listen to a song called "Onset". It's an instrumental song and it's freaking amazing. th-cam.com/video/roP4HFlGBUI/w-d-xo.html
You should react to the band Ignea. Queen Dies and Alexandria are some great songs. I have to recommend Conquering Dystopia again, too.
Please onset live reaction...crazy instrumenal song
Yes, this one!
Yup, I'll be doing Onset tonight, Moratorium tomorrow, then Blooming on Sunday! :)
May I suggest Puzzle live followed by Puzzle acoustic, same song but very different in so many ways.
Everyone BE SAFE sheltering in California
Great job
I miss those fishnets.
Just here simping for MISA! XD
OK, you echo the same review, and song, by an UK reaction TH-camr, with his own band, he calls B-M guitar playing as basic but very tight while playing live. Many fan of Rock Music feel that B-M did save the 70`s and 80`s style of good old Rock n Roll:)
Check out "Blooming".......
Did you make it to any of the dates during their 2022 US Tour?
Any plan of reacting to real existence?
Too bad that you found this song. It's OK, there are some tasty parts, but it's probably their least musical song.
"Real Existence" is just so much better.
