Thanks for watching our reaction to Band Maid - Alone. If you know what this song is about, let us know in the comments.
Later songs have captions (like '21 - date), but even some earlier ones as well. Basic translation of Alone:
Oh oh…
I dived right inside of you
It was like a complicated labyrinth
I can’t escape from it no matter how long it took
Being not aware of it
I found myself in a trap
(I’m) suffocating, running out of breath
Not being able to do anything
I just
I just cried
Nothing but troubles, I’m becoming depressed
At this point, let me forget it all
As if you will just forget
About everything
Don’t stare at me with those eyes
(It) doesn’t matter if it isn’t true
If I can just accept it all
Then it’s all good right?
Oh oh oh
It’s just an escape from reality
Oh oh…
I dived right inside of you
Being entangled by lies
I’m already tired and sick of it
It’s just all a game
Like tossing around sloppily
After using me, you’ll just cast me away right?
Right?
Being not aware of it
I found myself in a trap
(I’m) suffocating, running out of breath
Not being able to do anything
I just
I just cried
Searching for a way to escape oh
At this point, let me forget it all
As if you will just forget
About everything
Don’t stare at me with those eyes
(It) doesn’t matter if it isn’t real
If I can just accept it all
Then it’s all good right?
Oh oh oh
It’s just an escape from reality
I’m just suffocating here
I need to escape from this place here
I wanna go away in 3, 2, 1 GO
As if you will just forget
About everything
Don’t stare at me with those eyes
(It) doesn’t matter if it’s all a lie
If I can just accept it all
Then it’s all good right?
Oh oh oh
It’s just an escape from reality
Oh oh…
Thx Phil
What is this song about?
In my opinion, this is like their declaration of independence.
Because this is the first song they wrote by themselves.
SAIKI, the lead vocalist, says that MIKU writes lyrics that are a bit philosophical. This is something to consider.
I feel like it's about the music industry and/or rock fans who have forgotten the love of music.
And the attitude they have to rise from this place.
Amazing band, terrible reaction.
Thanks for checking out our Maids. Glad you liked them. 🍺😁🤘🏻
Ambassador Master Roger! Got another one to listen to the Maids. You are AWESOME!
@@BRO-rh2cr Thanks! 🍺😁🤘🏻
Roger, brillant recommendation! Thank you.
you really are their publicist to the world mate.
I like them, Roger.🙋♂️
We are not oriental women. We are a Mincho, An Ice Queen, a gorilla, a barefoot assaassin, and an 810 year old pigeon, Po. 🕊️
🍺😁🤘🏻
Congratulations on hearing your favorite band for the first time.
From Japan, thank you for your reaction to BAND-MAID.
They have been together for 11 years, and the members have not changed. They have nearly 130 original songs, and are releasing a full album in August. They held a two-band live with Mexico's Warning in Japan on June 12th, and performed a new song that they collaborated on. Last year, they had a nearly sold-out tour of the US, and thrilled the audience at four rock festivals. They put on a great live show, so you'll definitely like them if you watch them. Next, please watch the live video.
Welcome to Band-Maid! The best hard rock band I have heard in my 58 years on this planet. They don't stick to any one genre and often mix genres in songs. They are extremely diverse and have an extensive back catalogue featuring Punk, Pop-Punk, Hard-Rock, Classic Rock, Metal, Prog, Blues, Jazz, Groove, Rap etc. From face melting 220 bpm punk-prog to ballads, instrumentals to acoustics they do it all. They can make you headbang, they can make you pogo, they can make you cry like a baby. They are also five of the nicest people in music, without a shred of ego. They are funny and fun and world class musicians to boot. They are currently into their 11th year with the original line up.
Btw, Miku the rhythm guitarist (red rose) formed the band. She had the idea of Band-Maid after working as a maid in Japanese maid cafe's. Her idea is a concept called "The Gap" - that is what you see (cute maids) is NOT what you get (Hard Rock/Punk/Metal). They take the maid café concept literally. They call their concerts "servings" and their fans "Masters and Princesses". Oh, and Miku is an 810 year old small pigeon. Welcome to the pigeon hole Po!
I first discovered them a year ago and am still stunned by how good they are. As an old Led Zep believer, BM is the first band I've heard that I think is close to their quality.
Kanami (with all collaborating) writes great songs. They all are virtuoso musicians, the main 3 (Kanami guitar, Misa bass and especially Akane on drums) are absolutely world class and some say the tightest rhythm section in music today. Saiki's voice is beautiful, as good as any and perfect for what they write. Miku plays brilliant rhythm guitar with an angel's voice and is one of the cutest women on the planet, you will see!
As a guy you will absolutely fall in love with all five, guaranteed!

Welcome to the Maidiacs
🤘❤🔥🤘
"HATE" OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO FROM YOKOHAMA ARENA WILL CONVINCE YOU THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for trying out Band Maid! I hope you are having a great day. They will be celebrating their 11th anniversary very soon, and that is with all of the original members still in the band. You will find that the majority of their music videos do come with closed captioning and translations, especially their newer stuff. They are currently touring Japan and will be releasing a new album later this summer.
I love this song so much. Thank you for reacting to the best rock band on the planet. Are they still making music ? LMAO. Over 130 songs and tour the US every year. Saw them live twice last year.They play Lalapalooza, Aftershock, Rockville, Point Fest, etc,etc.
First song they composed themselves which their label allowed them to release. They have ascended to ridiculous heights by now as they write all their own stuff at this point but this song is still a banger and an important milestone for the band.
Thunder
Thunder
THUNDERCATS HOOOOOOOO
I agree. To be honest, the previous three songs (MVs) got a lot of attention, but they weren't made by the Maids, so I thought they would just keep falling off. But when I saw Alone, I was shocked. Everything about it was amazing. If they could make such high-quality songs on their own, I thought they were in good hands. It's still one of BAND-MAID's top five songs.
@@kan5372 I know what you mean. I've come to appreciate all their earlier label stuff a lot more in recent times. Fun throwbacks and not without musical merit. Freezer, Order etc are legitimate bangers IMO. I think it's probably because they're well established now in their own right and on their own terms.
@@Lillywhite Yes, When they play the songs, they become their own. I hope they will play their past hits live like they did Freedom.
Welcome to Band Maid, the best rock band on the planet! (Imo of course). They are still around and still making music (new album is months away)
You should see some of their most recent stuff! Like “Hate?” Official Live. Good news, it has subtitles, and you will enjoy them. The music too!
Rock on man, enjoy discovering one of your new favorite bands.
Welcome to the maid world Indie. Please check out their live videos.
Suggestions: Hate, Unleash, Freedom, Domination, Day Dreaming, Play, Don't You
Tell Me, Turn Me On, Take Me Higher, etc...
Can't wait to you react to Band Maid's 'Hate?' .
Welcome Master Mike to the wonderful world of Band-Maid. Glad you liked the song and you don't need to understand the language to appreciate great music. I always think of it as another instrument adding to the ensemble. Solos, yes, and they do it to serve the song. Kanami the lead guitarist is also the main composer. The Pigeon-hole is deep and diverse with this band, so buckle up and enjoy the journey. PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘
Suggested for your listening pleasure:
"Onset" OLV a fantastic instrumental.
"From Now On" OMV another killer instrumental.
"Hate?" OLV from the 10th Anniversary Tour Finale at Yokohama Arena. One of the few songs which doesn't have a overall positive message the Maids are known for. CC is a must as the lyrics is quite entertaining. This was song 27 of 33 for the night. You like solos...this one is a must see.
"Manners" and "Black Hole" OLV from the Online Okyuji. A great two-for to get two completely different feels for the band. "Manners" a bluesy/groovy song and "Black Hole" as organized chao speed demon of a song. Topping out at 220bpm, their fast song in the current catalog.
"Daydreaming" OMV rock ballad that will give you goose bumps
"Endless Story" OLV also from the 10th Anniversary Tour Finale. Why we love our Maids. Humble and appreciative of their fans. A perfect way to end an amazing 3hr and 40min concert. Anthemic and rings out with crowd of the Arena. CC's also a must for this song, to understand what lead singer Saiki has to say. They also wrote a special verse for the concert (right after Saiki walks down the runway).
Thank you for watching Band-Maid, still IMO one of the most underappreciated bands out there. This is the very first song that they wrote themselves, that their label allowed to them to put on an album. What they've done since then is beyond incredible, and I hope you check out more of their stuff. Their music is extremely diverse but it all has one thing in common - awesomeness!!! Musicianship is off the chain and their songwriting is nothing less than incredible. My fave band for five years now - and oh, do not miss a chance to see them live. It's electric, and there's a connection between them and the crowd that goes far beyond anything I've ever seen. Language doesn't matter. They've been around for over ten years now, and are ONLY now just barely starting to get the traction they deserve.
one of the well diverse and dynamically good band
Welcome to the Band-Maid club! Great reaction.
You will not find a better rock band than Band-Maid anywhere, but to see what they can really do you have to check out any of their live performances. These ladies kill it every single time.
7-8 months ago I saw some Rush Time Machine tour video, reminiscing while watching fan-cams from the shows I attended. The TH-cam side bar was suggesting some women dressed as maids at Lollapalooza last year. I thought I would check it out for a minute just to see what it was all about. An hour later I hit replay and watched Band-Maids set a second time. I was an instant Maidiac. I am a 59 year old rock fan that has been to 300 plus live shows of everyone from Yes, ELP and King Crimson to Rush, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden to Metallica, Rammstein and Anthrax. I will tell you that Band-Maid is the real deal. They are great songwriters, expert musicians and explode with personality and talent on stage. I still can't believe never heard of them before I clicked that video. I hope you will check more from Band-Maid. They have a catalog of great song after great song.
Mike, Welcome! I too like Asian women, I also like hard Rock/Rock/some Metal, hard Pop, some Jazz, some acoustic, Prog Rock. Four and a half years ago I found Band-Maid and never looked at another Japanese/Rock band the same. Band-Maid set the bar for me. I'm 67yo, former drummer (if there is such a thing) /musician and I have never heard a band that moves me like Band-Maid. Lyrics be damned because they are all about the music and musicianship and are truly a musicians band. Stay with these girls because they are very very special and NEVER disappoint, as I'm sure you will find out as you venture down the Pigeon Hole. Saving IRR and will be exploring the site/station. One song down and only 130+ more to GO!!!
They are rock and roll guardian angels and the best hard rock band on this planet🤘Keep an eye on them!!

Thanks for checking out Band-Maid. Good luck to your station, we'll check it out
You are not Alone when it comes to wanting to hear more of this band and lucky for you they happen to be possible the most prolific band on the planet with well over 130 well-written tracks in their catalog. They practically produce a new album annually and are currenty working on a new release to come out at years end.
This is the one band that sound better live than their studio recordings which reflects what kind of musicians they are. They all are world-class performers and musicians and even better songwriters. This band definitely needs to be illuminated.
Here's a rock/metal/prog song from BAND-MAID and you don't have to worry about lyrics: FROM NOW ON - check out the MV but be prepared for uplifting Awesomeness. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Peace. 1.21
JMATAB! 🍺😎
Dude Band-Maid is the girl Beatles NO BAD SONGS THEYER INCREDIBLE! AND THIS IS THEIR FIRST ALL BAND-MAID CREATIVE CONTROL!!!😊
True, except even the Beatles had their ‘duds’. Probably closer to Queen (with Freddie) in that regard.
The other notable thing is there is no individual ‘star’ in BM, or rather they are all stars (more ‘star equity’ than any band I’ve ever known.)
Alone was the first song that Band-Maid managements company allowed them to write and record on their own. The rest is history. They signed with another management company that allowed them to write and record all their own music. I suggest you jump to one of their most recent releases titled "Hate?", the official live video they played at their 10th Anniversary Tour finale last November at the Yokohama Arena. Band-Maid has remained completely intact as a group in that decade with a prodigious output of songs(over 130). Their sound and their popularity has grown exponentially during that period (including the 2 1/2 year Covid pandemic shutdown in Japan that forbade large gatherings and foreign travel. Once you start reacting to their music your channel will grow from all us Maidiacs making comments supporting them and their music.
BAND MAID is a vibe all by themselves! This was the first song that BAND MAID wrote on their own. Previous songs were written by others. The Madiacs will respond! BAND MAID refers to us fans as Masters and Princesses, concerts are considered servings. 11 years same band members no changes (except instruments and outfits) and best of friends on and off stage!
Here is an appetizer as there are 11 years of songs to listen to -
MORATORIUM -th-cam.com/video/sf2th1ZL6J8/w-d-xo.html
UNLEASH -- th-cam.com/video/7LB_EPS48HE/w-d-xo.html
REAL EXISTANCE - th-cam.com/video/-qQnKILR5u0/w-d-xo.html
FREEDOM - th-cam.com/video/FHpuEqMAcDg/w-d-xo.html
DICE - th-cam.com/video/ZpAYnVJX9CY/w-d-xo.html
BLOOMING - th-cam.com/video/uUt_JBMocKM/w-d-xo.html
DON'T YOU TELL ME - th-cam.com/video/SOj3qXBhiP4/w-d-xo.html
This was the first song they wrote. Previously they had external writers. Since then they have written almost all their songs. If you want to see them rock hard then check out Hate Live, From Now On MV or Shambles MV
Welcome to the Maidiacs Mike
"'I'm just suffocating here
I need escape from this place here
I wanna go away in 3, 2, 1 GO!"
Written by Miku Kobato and voiced by Saiki Atsumi. No F bomb here, but they have said it in another song.
And wait for him listening(!) to 'Don't let me down' 😅 (obviously not written by them)
They’re signed to a label. (Most amazing bands out of Japan don’t stay unsigned very long.) BUT! Don’t let that stop you. Especially this band. They really deserve World Domination!
Such great talent u have!!! I love you radio station it has such great rock music. Brings me back to the good old days with my parents on a rod trip. 😊😁
This isn't Band-Maid's first song, but it is the first one they wrote entirely on their own that their management and record label allowed them to record and release. Up until then they had been writing songs, not being allowed to record them, and they were quite frustrated. After releasing "Alone", they now write all their own music, and basically self produce their recordings. Their music is one of a kind and unusual in that the band isn't there to spotlight one performer, but to give everyone in the band their moment in the spotlight. At typical Band-Maid response is, "There's a lot going on here!", and that's because all five of them are killing it all at once: the bassist, the drummer, the guitarists, and the vocalists are all putting in the work and it all mixes together as they intended: to support the song.
Kanami Tono, their lead guitarist, leads the band in composition while rhythm guitar Miku Kobato and lead vocalist Saiki Atsumi write the lyrics. They write their lyrics in a mix of English and Japanese. Miku particularly has a talent for combining the two languages to create puns, double meanings, and to guide listeners to unexpected places. Saiki's lyrics are pretty good too!
Best rock band on the planet. Watch HATE? live from Yokohama Arena 2023. It will stun you. In fact, watch anything, they have a huge catalog of songs and they're all good, I'm not lying.
Go Roger! Band-Maid and Roger Chance will conquer the world!
Thanks so much nice reaction!
Their genre is BAND-MAID
How about HATE? for next song?
I hope you`ll enjoy them!
I love this girls nice reaction greeting from germany
This was the first song they wrote themselves. Before this, they'd worked with outside songwriters, but lead guitarist Mincho kept presenting her songs to management, and finally this one was accepted. It's an absolute banger. Not long after this they started writing everything themselves, and have ever since, pretty much. Still love this song, and they still play it live I think.
What you saw and watch is only the tip of the iceberg.
Congratulations you just found the best band on the planet 🔥🔥🔥🔥🎎🤘🎎🤘
Welcome Home! 🖤
I say this as nice as possible. Oriental refers to inanimate objects like furniture and rugs. Asian or more specific East Asian or even more specific, Japanese. Glad you enjoyed them. They have been my favorite band ever for the past 7-ish years.
Sorry S.J. but I did a little research on the word “Oriental” and it seems that Americans deemed it as racist and offensive when in fact, it’s still used in other countries around the world and many Asians are NOT offended by it and some apparently even prefer it over the word “Asian”. I could be completely wrong but it’s what I found on the internet.
@ziggyphoto i poked around more too. TBH it's nebulous at best. It does seem to be mainly an American thing and based on the years of the source articles, a late 2000s to early 2010s thing. I ran it through my Asian friends as well. None of them cared for it but only one found it offensive. He is in his late 70s and a bit of an Asian rights activist though. I really don't have a dog in this fight but you really don't hear it much. You definitely don't hear it in CA out in the wild. You'd get raised eyebrows and side eye.
MISA MISA MISA!!!!! this MV was released on February 14th 2016 "Alone" on Valentines Day nuf said.
React to their live performances if you want to see how BAND-MAID kicks the ass of any US bands.
This is the first song that they wrote to be recorded. All their songs after this one have been written by them. Not bad for their first song.
Catchy but so technical. The most talented and versatile rock band today. 120 more songs to go trough, enjoy the ride. 😎
Yes they are still making music new album drops later this year. 11 years of rockin.
They dropped an all English song called " Bestie, " about a month ago. It's their third all English song.
😏♥️🎙🎸🥁😎🤘 Otherwise, they mix Japanese & English, predominantly Japanese.
English speaking part:
I’m just suffocating here
I need to escape from this place here
I wanna go away in 3, 2, 1 GO
Welcome to Band Maid. Yes, they are catchy but can also be very hard rocking. This was their first self composed song. Since then Kanami wrote all the songs with lyrics from Miki (sometimes Saiki).
These ladies are masters at their instruments: Kanami (composer and lead guitar), Akane (drums) and Misa (bass). Then there is lead vocalist Saiki who is perfect for the Band Maid sound and Miku Kobato (rythm guitar, pure energy, most lyrics, fantastic backing vocals and harmonies). Miku wasn't able to play the guitar when she founded the band in 2013.
I don't know of any other band where the fans' playlists differ so much. So, this is just a quite random selection of songs: For some very special live videos try Freedom, Play, Real existence and Endless Story. With Moratorium (Live at Zepp), Rinne (MV) and Dice you can hear more hard rock while a more catchy song is Choose me (MV). And if you want to hear some ballads then maybe About Us (MV) and Daydreaming (MV) are good picks. But don't miss some of their instrumentals like From now on (MV) and Onset (Live). And finally a very special live performance is Manners/Blackhole (Official Online Live)🍌 And there is more: For example the songs with Miku in lead, their christmas acoustic concert and the 'cover band' Band-Maiko ;-)
A very recent performance is 'Don't you tell ME' live from their 10th anniversary concert in Yokohama.
But if you want to go on with earlier songs (2013-2017) then go with Thrill (MV, their first video), Real Existence (second video), Freedom(best LIVE performance), Choose Me, Play (LIVE!), ...
Have fun... Po
You are not Alone liking Band Maid😄👍 a fantastic band. Fun to see you are starting with earlier Band Maid. It is so fun to see the evolution of this band.
Some other earlier and great songs to checkout is Thrill, No Fiction days and Before Yesterday.
They are amazing live😍
Rinne, Morratorium, Dice, Onset, Sayonakidori are just a few other fantastic songs to check out.
And go for the official live versions if possible.
Maidiacs are comming..
Band-Maid is very much alive and well. They have approximately 130 tracks to choose from and some are pretty good but the rest are GREAT! No BS. Dont take my word for it....dive in and check the water out. Doesnt matter which track you listen to because none sound the same. You also cant place a genre on them except ROCK. Some try and fail miserably. We say Band-Maid is a genre and you will learn on your own the reason why. You'll find it amazing. Great reaction.
Ambassador chance strikes again po!
🍺😎🤘🏻
Not only are they still making music they are considered as one on the greatest rock bands on the planet they do drop an f bomb in another song but not this one
Roger strikes again!
Still going and better than ever.
Real deal, better back story than the Beatles, more talent than the Stones & Zeppelin combined, and the lady who writes & composes, and arranges their music, Kanami, the lead guitarist is the next freaken Mozart IMO!
You can start your Band-Maid reactions with the disclaimer “let’s see how Band-Maid is going blow me away with catchy hooks and awesome musicianship this time!”
At the time, Saiki's english was bad. It has improved. She is singing "Suffocating" although to me it sounds like get the F out of here. Turning on the subtitles might help .
👍🙏 beer 🍻
Can you have a regular segment for BAND-MAID please, Mike. I can only speak for myself but i'm sure the Maidiacs would like that too :)
You all are a very passionte fan base, I will definitely take that into consideration.
@@IndieRageRadio Thx a lot.😁👍
TinyHat-san welcomes you to the Unseen World that leads BAND-MAID to World Domination. BTW, lose the Yellow Fever BS.
You ain't seen anything yet with this band
No F bomb, but the reply to your initial question have the lyrics if you expand it. Thanks for checking out the band that even the snotty Rolling Stone magazine conceded to be the "best rock show of the day" at Lollapalooza 2023.👍
You sure it's not an F bomb, from day one I listen to this song and many times since then it always sounds like an F Bomb. I know I have looked up the lyrics and it's not, but it sure sounds like it. I would not put it pass Saiki, Hate anyone?
@@omdtdz There certainly is in Start Over, but Miku wrote it.
Welcome, Mikey O. You are embarking on (along with many others - over 200 million YT views plus over 40 million reactor plays!) an awesome, progressive, hard-rock journey with 5 incredible women. Here's my intro blurb for those who may be new to Band-Maid:
BAND-MAID’s songs and sound beat with the heart and soul of all rockers. But you’ll also hear heavy influences of Prog, Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Jazz, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Joy of Playing, Consistency (130+ songs), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destined for mega-stardom.
Each member's personalities are super interesting and their musicianship among the best. Their writing, arrangements and overall sound, especially guitar tones and drums, are kick-ass! Having seen them LIVE, I can honestly say their performance, sound, stage appearance, and band synergy is off-the-rails spectacular!
Band-Maid is the only band in decades where I love nearly EVERY song they’ve done. I have over 70 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: th-cam.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/w-d-xo.html Their songs from albums Unleash, Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Hate?, Shambles, Influencer, Warning, No God, Different, Black Hole, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Don’t You Tell Me, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Choose Me, I Can’t Live Without You, and on and on.
But don’t miss out on their powerful, beautifully written, mid-tempo songs like Daydreaming, Bestie, About Us, Memorable, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, At The Drop Of A Hat, Mirage and Smile... or more punky like After Life, Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like Manners and The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or a bit jazzy like Wonderland… or progressive like No God, Giovanni, and Black Hole… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like From Now On, Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts… or their many acoustic versions like Catharsis and Sayonakidori... and last but not least, their Anime hits (AniMaid) like Sense, Glory and Unleash!!!!! (from their own Anime MV (series?)): th-cam.com/video/7LB_EPS48HE/w-d-xo.html)
And many songs are represented with over 50 well produced music videos. th-cam.com/users/BANDMAID
Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYUJI concerts:

And some of the better quality fan videos are excellent. Here’s two of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at an intimate venue:

If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, live streams, CD, DVD/BD & merch, etc. bandmaid.tokyo
Like most Band-Maid songs, I like them from the get-go but really start to appreciate them after more hearings and seeing their LIVE videos. I'll go back and see an older song like YOLO, Order, Shake That, Freezer, Don’t Let Me Down, Before Yesterday, Real Existence, Non Fiction Days and Alone, etc. and realize there's no band that can consistently construct and play like Band-Maid.

Band-Maid Members:
Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “StarQueen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 30 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away her sometimes perceived, coldish persona. Saiki’s powerhouse performances, charisma, and voice focus the experience that’s driven her to the top echelon of hard rock frontwomen... or frontmen!
Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 32 years old. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR SpokesPigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. Kuruppo! No, no, no… KURUPPO!!
Kanami Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 32 years old, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want from Mincho is more!
Akane Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, 33 years old, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) while revolutionizing rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumZilla” is the Party!
MISA (Me-Sa) "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass, 31 years old. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin literally kills it… every note... uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA! MISA!
Maidiacs (Maid-e-acts) - Band-Maid’s crazed yet supportive, knowledgeable and loyal Super Fans.

Wow, Tom thanks for all the info.
@@IndieRageRadio 🙏
The Maid Brigade are all here. Nice one Roger 😉
If you’re looking for female or female-fronted music there is some AMAZING talent in Japan. Band-Maid is my favorite, but check out Gacharic Spin, Lovebites, Nemophila, Unlucky Morpheus, and if you’re into the Babymetal thing with cute voices and HEAVY music, try Hanabie. There’s actually a lot more, but that’ll get you started!
Ah, the first step in becoming a true Maidiac! Most of their songs mix in English and most (obviously not all) have English closed captions as well...
Come on dude, enjoy the music instead of being so concern on what they’re saying, you don’t need to know the lyrics to enjoy music. Neither english nor japanese are my native tongues and all I listen to is in those languages.
Nice, really want to see your reaction on the latest Band Maid stuffs.
👍🤗🤘🥰😁🕊👀

130 plus to go ... an you won't find even an ordinary one.
Asian women! Not oriental, please!👍✌️
Best rock band on the planet, po!
"Domination" official live next.
More Japanese women that will rip your face off!
Power metal/Thrash : Love Bites "Set the World on Fire" official live
Metal/Hard rock: Nemophila "Revive" OMV
Harajuku-core (Nu-metal?): Hanabie "We Love Sweets" OMV
Kawaii Metal: Babymetal "Road of Resistance" official live (the old one!)
Hardcore Punk: Otoboke Beaver "Don't Light My Fire"
Between just Band Maid and Babymetal, they have 10+ years worth of material EACH!
No one says oriental anymore wtf is wrong w saying Asian?
I'm half Chinese and honestly I prefer far east or oriental, it literally means Orient or of the East. I know the word has some negative connotation associated with it, but I prefer it to Asian. Asia is a huge FKing place, and honesty I would prefer not to lumped in with some of those Asian countries for what it's worth.
Chinese here, and I don't care what I am called. Chinese term for ethnic Chinese and for the country of China is completely different anyway. And the same goes for Japanese terms for themselves and country.
@@DAVID-io9njI think most of the people that get upset about this stuff are not even from those countries LOL. Much more important things I have to worry about. For what it's worth though I think once a reactor gets a few songs done from a band they should at least know what specific country they are from, and call them as such, and maybe learn the members names. It shows respect to the band and their members.
@@omdtdz Yes. Obviously not all reactors are equal.
Please don’t stop the video with silly questions. Is it in English? Let the video run another 30 seconds for an answer. A guitar solo is coming. Duh.
Too many interruptions.
