If the fast drums and intricate solos of "Hot for Teacher" (Van Halen) had a baby with the onion-cutting vocals of Cyndi Lauper, the baby would be Band-Maid. 🕊️❄️🍌🥷🎸. Also, the baby is Japanese.

Oh Man.....music silent and your Mic too loud = earpiercing :(

Imagine starting a band, writing songs, doing vocals and learning to play rhythm guitar adequately and then you have to perform with (and hold your own alongside) musicians as good as any on the rock scene, past or present. You bet Miku looks happy, she's living her dream and thank goodness for that, look what she has brought to the world!

These lovely ladies have more musical talent in their little finger than I could ever dream of having. I don't love all of their music but I do enjoy their performances. They are rockers!

Great reaction. Next up, watch the official live "Freedom". It's got a drum solo and she's laughing all the way through it, and your backup vocalist sings a full verse. For more "concert experience", watch the new official live "Don't You Tell Me". Your mind will be blown.

Great first take. Yes, you def heard nostalgia. That song's riff is very similar to The Damned's starting 2 minutes into "Smash It Up", and that little backup vocal line that you liked, "Dan dan didi dan dan!" is the same pattern as Dead or Alive's "Round Round Baby Round Round". So, we got 2 bands from the 70s/80s. You'll find that a lot of Band-Maid songs are greatly influenced from that time period, and most of the fanbase are old guys like me that grew up back then. Welcome aboard!

You need to check out the official live video of Hate?. Better sound quality than the lalapalooza sound. Absolutely crushing

Best band on the planet. These girls rip!

"Promo SM"

THIS is why people say you need to stick with their live videos. They enjoy themselves so much, it is insane. Check out "Freedom" from this same concert. They spend the whole song with all of them smiling so much. And a longer drum solo with a huge grin the whole time.

I love how Miku's backing vocals are panned left and right! Yes, the video is fire! Literally! Even if you've already seen a live version, you should watch the official music videos for *"Dice,"* *"Blooming,"* *"Manners,"* *"Daydreaming,"* and *"Rinne."* For good measure, check out the music video for *"Gion-cho"* (祇園町) by their rivals, Band-Maiko.

So many Band-Maid songs, half-way through and you realize that MISA is just playing a four minute bass solo?!

"What do you even focus on?!" BAND-MAID gives you choices! 1) Drums 2) Bass 3) Rhythm guitar 4) Lead guitar 5) Extra guitar tracks 6) Lead vocals 7) Backing vocals 8) Keyboard tracks 9) Production embellishments & flourishes Unlike a lot of groups, ALL these are well worth focusing on individually during a listen - the problem is not being distracted by some other element stealing your attention 😊

Really, you should go back to the beginning and do "Thrill" official MV ( an honest to goodness rock song) then "Alone" the first maid written song that gave us a look at what was to come, and you will see all the parts come together as they get better, but in every song, Band-Maid = happiness.

Good react again bro and the best way to start my day! Great energía for a great song! See you! 🤟🦊🇯🇵🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

There is no denying it. They are quite simply the best rock band on the planet 🌎🤷🏻‍♂️

LOL what to focus on, try BAND-MAID Corallium Live at Shibuya Eggman here's the link ua-cam.com/video/9smDNUlvom4/v-deo.html

Well if that's all you want to do with listening to Band-Maid then....................."Do It"

Great reaction and Akane serves up more rolls than a high end bakery. Thanks for reacting to Band-Maid, your helping spread the word about the best rock band in the world.

Every Band-Maid MV is epic in it's own way, try Warning!, Blooming or From Now On. Or you could check out the Maid's trainee Geisha alter-egos, Band-Maiko.

Yes, Shambles is the Akane show with special guest stars Kanami, MISA, Saiki and Miku. But wait! Was it really the Kanami show, because she wrote the song and played it with such forcefulness and exquisite abandon. Or was it the MISA show because without MISA, the rapturous drive of the song would be a ride on four flat tires. Or was it the Saiki show because she focused the sonic chaos into a song with melodies that could express Miku's lyrics like no other singer could. Without Saiki, Shambles might sound like a familiar instrumental. Or was it the Miku show because, damn, she wrote the lyrics, played the important rhythm parts, and added her unique brand of backup vocals that have become a defining "sixth instrument" of Band-Maid. So exactly whose show was it? It was the Maid's show, as usual! 🤘🎀🤘Thx, Meteor!

Akane just goes HARD in this song. 🤘✌

Good job

You need to watch the MV of WARNING. Buckle up.

This was commissioned as the season two closing theme for the Netflix anime, Kengan Ashura.

I'm pretty ok with more Band-Maid, but if you want a side track, try Saiseiga - sink

Let hopes flood your veins. When you listen to Band-Maid, there's no need to hope, you KNOW it'll be great!

I am in love with Mayu’s❤ voice! Nemophila is a fantastic group and are very good live!!

I got to witness its live debut in Sacramento and then again the next day in Anaheim!! Band-Maid is the best rock group on the planet

The Japanese metal/rock scene is the best in the world. The U.S. & The English may have been the originators of metal/rock, but the Japanese are perfecting it.

I recommend Influencer MV. It is the MV released previous to Shambles. Epic bridge with some surprises

Listen to the guitar solo closely. Towards the end Akane and Misa step in to make it forceful. Then the song drops so you can relax before it returns to the original pace. Kanami is capable of a long blazing solo but she doesn’t. She writes them for each song.

One of those songs that you have to listen too 4 times to pin point each instrument then another 1000 or so just to enjoy an appreciate the perfection/talent of these guys. Just a little more than pretty girls in maid outfits.

They’re constantly improving as a band and individual players. Part of their magic is that they’re always pushing each other to grow. It’s a common theme in their lyrics, too. Really inspiring band. I remember reading a comment about how someone would go to another rock band’s shows and leave wanting to flip over cars and destroy things, but leaving a Band-Maid show feeling like they could solve world hunger. They’re really special.

Their MV's are all excellent. Their live performances are all excellent. Basically, everything they do is excellent. MV's I'd recommend would be 'THE NON-FICTION DAYS', 'WARNING', 'MANNERS', 'DON'T YOU TELL ME', 'RINNE'.....I better stop listing them as I'm just going to list them all! Enjoying your reactions to THE best band on Earth. PS Listening to a Band-Maid song for the first time, I try and take it all in, then again with the subtitles on, then again and again listening to guitars, bass and drums. Then I settle down to just enjoying it. Unless they bring out a live or acoustic version, where the process begins all over again!

Warning and Rinne MV’s also the db’s!

Band-Maid's music videos often use flames, but those flames are not CG, but real, blazing fire. And Saiki's sigh at the end of this MV is not a staged performance, but a real sigh of relief after the song is over.

Used as the closing theme for the second series of Netflix Anime Kengan Ashura. But the song has so many great little moments. Saiki is just vocally sublime. The instrumentals are spot on and as usual the drums just drive the song. Oh and Miku's backing is like the cream and cherry on top. Band Maid make a production out of every song. Great stuff.

I don't disagree with those who say to react to their live videos, however ignoring their official MVs is, IMO disrespecting a major part of their creative catalogue.. as you can see from this MV, they put so much work and imagination into their MVs that they shouldn't be ignored. I'd suggest 'Warning' and 'Unleash' as a couple of examples. IMO, the perfect reaction would be to check out the MV and then check out the live.. Also be sure to check out their acoustic work (if you can find it), and their Band Maiko offerings. These ladies are so versatile and creative.. Kanami is a freaking genius..!! New sub here..!

Band Maid MVs are great, too! I suggest doing both the official MV followed by the live version when possible!😂😂😂😂😂

Another reactor said in the past, that Band-Maid is one of the hardest bands to react to, because each member of the band steals your attention away from the other members. And I have a suggestion for you, for this you will need to open to windows of your browser. One will have this song, Shambles, open in, the other you go to Band-Maid's UA-cam channel, and click on "Releases", then scroll down to "YOLO", and when it open, click on "Unfair Game". Rewatch Shambles, and as soon as Saiki inhales at the end, switch over to Unfair Game and click play. It is just the audio, with no video, but once you hear it you will understand why I purposely edited the 2 song together one after the other, and it takes up the #1 spot on my current playlist.

You gave a perfect analysis of this Band-Maid song. I am a longtime fan, and I just couldn’t grasp what they were doing here. This is an example of their dense and complex songwriting. It will take you 10 listens before you get a handle on what’s going on. But that is the reward for listening to BAND-MAID. They force you to be a better music listener.

I know you want more MV’s, but a great live performance would be “Puzzle.” I guarantee it will go right to your play list. IMO one of their most perfectly crafted songs. Good reactions so far, keep it up.

Now that you’ve done the latest, throw back to the first and do Thrill official video.

Correct. A band where everyone carries their own weight+adds more on top

For an official music video I recommend Dice, Influencer or Alone!

oiran is a must listen

🤘🇺🇦🤘

Try their song Zen live, it will blow you away.
