there's a lot of nods to B-M's discography in the "Manners" MV. My fave is Saiki & Miku having evening tea in the garden gazebo which is a reimagining of their "Just Bring It" album cover art :)
@@waynebenedict5785 Really?😮 Wayne it's nowhere near their best MV but it's certainly one of their cleverest, there are still quite a few refernces i haven't either got or haven't figured out yet but i'm narrowing them down gradually :)
you nailed it, they were talking about themselves and the struggles to grow and take over the world(world domination). the unseen world is reference to the parts of the world they have never seen but are determined to see it and share their music everywhere. Our rock never dies ever. Forever! - Miku Kobato Band Maid founder
You may notice that Akane's drum kit was set up at the bottom of the staircase in a few isolated shots. This is a bit of a tribute to John Bonham where they set up the kit at the bottom of the stairwell in Headley Grange when Led Zeppelin recorded that iconic drum sound in 'When The Levi Breaks. Bonham is one of Akane's inspirations. I sincerely urge you to have look at the live version of this song on the double live 'Manners/Black Hole' video. Manners is brilliant, and Black Hole will twist your musical brain into knots They do all wear maid outfits, but Misa's is an 'Assassin Maid' outfit, and Saiki's is a European 'Governess Maid' outfit. Misa is also known as 'The Barefoot Assassin' , because of the Assassin Maid outfit, and the fact that she plays live shows in bare feet. Collectively, the Maids refer to their costumes as 'Battle Armour'. Cool eh.
Thank you for your reaction and welcome to the Unseen World, the name of the album. This MV was the start of my musical journey with the maids and even though I prefer the online live version, due to production, this studio version and video has a special place in my heart. And yes, I agree with your interpretation. Have fun! :)
I can't believe no one mentioned Akane, the drummer, who is one of the best these days. Shame on all of us BAND-MAID fans. lol Thank you for reacting to this most amazing band.
From Japan This song is from their album ``Unseen World'' and is considered as a song that connects the past and the future. Future songs are faster and more technically progressive. However, their latest song "Bestie" is an alternative rock song that has never been released before. They change beyond expectations. I'm looking forward to their next album at the end of August. Try their wonderful other side, the symphonic hard rock instrumental song "from now on".
Manners is about Band-Maids journey through the music industry ! Unseen World is the album "Manners" Is on =) Their rock never dies Ever , Forever ! My rock died last month when i broke my hand =(
Great blues rock song! Tells the story of the bands struggles and tribulations during their careers in music. They have persevered and excelled in their mission! "Our Rock never dies, ever! Forever!" Miku Kobato lyric.
I am with you on loving Miku's 'oh oh oh oh oh oh' in the chorus. It is so fun to watch her do that in that I am sure there is a slight backing track to make the voice a bit deeper but to see this tiny petite woman do that in a maid outfit is so much fun to see. This song is even better in the live video that they did during covid with the other song they did in the same video black hole. look for Manners / black hole and I am sure you will find it. Great job in finding the meaning of the song as it is about them and all the difficulties they had to overcome in the first 2-3 years of the band. Nice reaction.
You've just scratched surface, friend. The best band this short century and legitimately the biggest variety of rock bangers to boot. Maybe try Puzzle Live next? Either way, you'll be a certified Maidiac in no time! 😉 For help, it's Sigh-Key the lead singer and Awe-Kaw-Nay the drummer.👍
This is a beautiful MV but I'd have to also recommend the live version (on their YT channel) which was released as a double bill with their fastest song, BLACK HOLE, with its 220BPM outro section. .
Good Manners? Oh, yeah! Like the unique outro, every Band-Maid song also has a touch of class because the Maids have class. A remarkable band in so many aspects! "aw, aw, aw, aw, aw, aw, aw, awesome!" Thx, RJJ!
Pretty much spot on on the first 4 names (well done!). Akane is A-ka-ne. Not Akein. And Hi-ro-se. Japanese pronounce all the syllables. You'll get there 😉🤘
you need to watch the offial live of this song a way much better (even if the record version is awesome). The album unseen world is one of the best rock album have heard and as the old fart i am i heard a lot

The tea party motif is in the "Bestie" MV set dressing too, but it's a lot easier to see in the fan club behind-the-scenes video they posted.

この曲はライブではもっとグルービーで魅力が増しますよ!

The thing about Miku's descending vocalization is that it is not overused. They use the hook tastefully, never wearing it out.
Good point! 🙂

You were right the first time, Saiki (Psyche). But Japanese transliteration has no Silent E, so it's not A-Cane, but (Ah-Kah-Nay).
Thank you. 🙂

Kanami the lead guitar is the song writer and Miku backup singer and rhythm guitar is the lyricist.
🙂
I believe that Miku's "Ah, ha, ha, ha ha!" is her chiding their early nay-sayers; as in "don't let negativity hold you back".
Could well be! 🙂
