This was filmed with 8mm film , the SHUT UP at the end was in answer to critics who were saying they were getting to poppy .
Good luck to their critics 😂
that music pendulum that swings from thrash to groove to alternative rock and then back to thrash? only band-maid are crazy enough and capable of pulling it off.
The range these girls have is crazy
One of my favorite intros of BM songs with the kick drum coming in hot. One of those songs that grabs your attention from the beginning.
It surely does, they don't waste any time here ahahah
When the head vein pops, you know the stuff is good 😂 should I go for Puzzle next?
Yup!🤘👍🏻
Yes, Puzzle it's a MUST!
Rinne was, apparently, a response to critics that said they're too poppy.
yes
Right in their faces 🤘🏻
As a famous time traveler once said: “This is heavy”
Misa's bass tone almost defies description. She has a fantastic ear for getting the exact sound she wants for each song. But of course so do the other girls. Akane's drum sound is on point every time. Kanami's guitar tone fits the song perfectly. Even Saiki's vocals blend with the band's sound perfectly. This is quite honestly one of the major things that keep me coming back to them.
In a word, balance. That's probably the most appropriate way to describe the band as well overall I feel :)
This song is from Conqueror which was a 2019 release. This was allegedly their answer to "critics" who said they were not heavy when their previous album World Domination came out. My opinion is a lot of people mislabeled them as metal at first instead of hard rock.
True, they clearly have their main roots in hard rock, not in metal
The way MISA sneaks in those beautiful bass lines amongst all the chaos is so nice!
Such a heavy and catchy song! Band Maid really is the total package.
I think Puzzle is a great next one to check out! Thanks for another great video GG!
Thanks Jorge!
Absolutely love MISA's bass in this one. She is going nuts on that thing and the tone is *chef's kiss*. This song ended the album "Conquerer", which by any measure was their softest, most ballady album. I guess they put all the usual heaviness into the one song at the end there. :D
Now, that's how you close a record! Kind of like Metallica in the 80s, the hardest hitting thrash song was always at the end 🤘🏻
This song doesn't get enough respect.
If anyone has something bad to say about this, send them my way 😁
Unfortunately u r right.
@@akaalexanderking BTW- have you ever reacted to Sokoninaru.? If not, try "re:program" or "Lament Moment"... Thank you. Always enjoy your perspective.
Not yet, but they're on my "gonna happen very soon" list ;)
Extreme tight band. Their songwriting is superb. The combo of the solo and bridge is nuts. What a wonderful way of write these instrumental layers. Awesome.
It's funny, just as you discovered this after two ballads, this song was released after a few jazzier or poppier songs that had fans wondering if they were going in a pop direction. The response to this was "Nothing to worry about!"
And doing that in style, all guns blazing (to quote Judas Priest 😁)
More explosive, full-throttle, stank-face music from, imo, the world's best hard rock band - Band-Maid. 😆🤘
Amazing song from an amazing band 🤘🏻
This song is off of their 6th album, Conqueror 2019.
Thanks!
They played this as the opener for their Feb. 14, 2020 show on DVD. Started with a short but sweet drum solo. Proper way to start a show.
Yep, that's how you do it 🤘🏻
Wow. That was heavy!!! But i just love the vocals of Saiki and Miku. Been listening to the band for only six months but i cant think of a more complete group with so many styles. I like your reactions because you pick up on cool stuff i miss in the song.
Glad to hear that Steve, means I'm not wasting your time at least 😁
This was the song that clinched me selling my Fender bass amps and buying Orange. I had to try to get some of MISA's tone. I definitely don't regret it even if the only person who hears me play now is my wife.
Can't go wrong with Orange. Even guitar wise, my go-to will always be a Mesa head on a Orange cabinet 🤘🏻
@@akaalexanderking - Kanami is also into Mesa.

I've seen that in the Domination official video. She has a good taste 🤘🏻
Kanami actually said in an interview that she was under contract to send in a new song once a week to the new label and that she felt like a "riff machine".
Jesus, that's mad ahahah. Forced creativity doesn't really work for me, but I hope she got something out of that 🤘🏻
@@akaalexanderking She got to see the Unseen World come out!
I don’t think that’s accurate. I suppose you’re referring to t-shinji’s translation on reddit. Kanami just mentioned that she’s ‘supposed’ to send a song, or part of it to ‘someone’ in the company. We don’t know if it’s a company contract or something else
@@williamzhang970 I did a Google translation of a very long interview and had to "interpret" the translation. I'm sure I missed the finer details of it. Thanks for clarifying it for me!
@@nussekuddenxxx6564 Oh so you google translated it. T-shinji is Japanese and does interview translations on the BM subreddit. So his translations are better than google’s. According to him, Kanami sends weekly a demo or a riff, anything she comes up with to ‘someone’ in the company, but not really to the company itself. Not sure what that means but I think we can assume that it’s not exactly their label forcing them to write as much songs as possible, and either ways Kanami writes a ton on a daily basis
Mincho is such a Rock Star! 😎
...and Miku's (Po! 🕊️) pinch-slides! 🤘
Those pinch slides are to die for 🤘🏻
@@akaalexanderking Our Little Pigeon (🕊️ Po!) has come so far! ❤️
Just a point about the "official" releases, in a recent interview Kanami stated that she plays all the guitar parts in the songs. When they play live she changes it slightly for Miku, I'll see if I can find that interview, it's on reddit somewhere
Thanks for the info Glen!
The "Shut up!" at the end was to the people who had whined that they had given up on heavier music because they had done a couple of milder tunes just before. Ha!
Right in their faces 😁
Great reaction as usual watch TURN ME ONE LIVE IN TOKIO 2018...MISA crazy intro...KANAMI old school solo..and AKANE...akane great all song
Thanks Mauro :)
Their heaviest song... until they released this last new album! 🤘🤘🤘
Puzzle, would be great. Puzzle in my favorite songs of all time. Kanami is such an incredible guitarist songwriter. I love Band Maid, Lovebites and Nemophila, just such incredibly talented bands. These ladies just wow me all the time both Musically and Lyrically.
Coming on Monday ;)
What a incredible song this is - a masterpiece in every respect, and one of their best, in my humble opinion. And that''s why I cannot understand that Rinne has far, far too few views - just about 1.4 million so far. What's wrong?
Maybe it's less appealing to occasional listeners? It's a fantastic track 🤘🏻
That’s what I love about it too! The balance and blending of different types of genres. I grew up with punk and branched out from there, which makes this such a good all around good feel good band to me. Love your commentary from a technical perspective.
And side note: my name is actually Akane so it’s just a coincidence. 😆
Thanks Akane, glad you enjoyed! My roots will always be in punk music as well, you can say that was my first love when it comes to guitar based music (Well, that and Linkin Park) 🤘🏻
In the same way as i will always stick to 'daydreaming' as their most beautiful song, i would say rinne is their most dirty track. But i love them both to death!! All of these songs are the reason for this band maid love!! 🎀🖤🌍🤘🕊️
Such a in-your-face song, love it 🤘🏻
Love the part with Saiki's vocals when it goes to half-time 5:36
Agreed, wonder nuance in the songwriting
“Blooming” (MV) is a kick-ass song with a perfect mix of all the BM ingredients. “I Still Seek Revenge,” from the new album, just might be their heaviest song yet (but no video...yet).
Thanks Greg! We don't necessarily need the MVs for reactions ;)
Thanks!!! for reviewing my Band-Maid recommendation. Much appreciated!!!
Thank you for the recommendation and for watching my friend :)
@@akaalexanderking Another Great Song from a Great Group I think that you and all of your subscribers would really love to hear is the song MARIONETTE from the band MARY'S BLOOD. This hard rock / metal band is the main group Saki the guitar player that also leads with in her other band Nemophila. This particular Mary's Blood song Marionette reminds me of a cross-breed of Guns N Roses & Anthrax. Also, the guitar solo in this video is one of the best and most entertaining moments I've ever seen. PLEASE REVIEW THIS VIDEO. I guarantee you & all of your subscribers will Love It!!!
Sounds great, I'll make sure to react to this soon enough ;)
Glad you reviewed this one, an absolute banger! Always appreciate your thoughts and musical breakdown, very interesting. Kanami's solo a veritable sonic onslaught, so much energy and attack. Shout out to Saiki's vocal as well... top notch. Keep 'em coming!
Will do, thanks for watching!
That's a big smile :-)
Can't help it with these girls 😁
Band Maiko soon please 🤩
1st of April... ;)
@@akaalexanderking 😏
This is one of the few Band-Maid songs that I think is better as a studio version than live from the few times I've seen it live.
I think most of the comments section agrees from what I've seen so far 👍🏻
One of the few where the MV is actually better (than one they used to have out there which had an entire verse removed for TV) - great live version though on the Line Cube Shibuya Blu-Ray but that's not available on their channel. So think of this song, and then think of About Us - talk about proving that there's nothing they can't do!
Absolutely, what a range these girls have!
This is why I love this band so much. Their versatility is refreshing and exciting. I love to hear them fuse diverse styles into their own sound, or infuse an old style with it.
So true Drogon. Really refreshing
I look forward to Maid Mondays..what a great way to start the week. Great reaction.
Thanks Kerry, no better way!
OK.... Now that you have heard a "Bucket Load" of tracks from Band Maid, you know that they are a rock band who pushes the boundaries of the "Rock sphere"...... in that they have no limit or boundary in the music that they produce.
When you have MISA in your band, what do you do?? You let her be MISA. The same with Akane, Saiki, Miku and (for Me) Kanami. It is often overlooked (in particular the newer fans) that Kanami IS the main songwriter of the band. She writes the "core" song and the others add to it.... after. However with MISA, Kanami goes...."here's what I'm thinking of a bass line..... knock your socks off".
Finally...... I have subbed.
Band Maid is Band Maid
Agreed, there's a wonderful band dynamic between these girls. Thanks for the support!
Nice reaction. I like Miku's chopping. Saiki's bass is as good as Mass's bass!
The lyrics of "Rinne".
Song: BAND-MAID
Lyrics: MIKU KOBATO
Composition: BAND-MAID
Taking my time
Float, disappear, fall
It is a negative reincarnation
Go around by leaving behind
Excessive psychology
If you don't like it
What is it for?
The secret to see through
Not more
Stupid yeah
Open your eyes
Even if you lose your breath
The world doesn't change
I know .....
That won't end
Even if it's a meaningless mistake
Distort the gears
You know .....
The second hand does not stop
Get down
That's enough
I can't solve it, I can't wake up
Separation and breeding life
Rolling around
Far away
Go far away
I should zip my lips
Vomiting melancholy
I'll leave it up to you
I felt like I heard a voice
Close your eyes
Even if the dream is over
No one comes to help
I know .....
I can't sleep with this
Even in the dawn of justice
Nothing is born by imitation
You know .....
Break the second hand
Get down
Reincarnation
Living and Dying
Why？
What do you live for？
例え声荒げても
世界は何にも救えない
Honesty does not pay
That makes no sense
Open your eyes
例え息途絶えても
世界は何にもかわらない
I know.....
それじゃ 終われないよ
解き放って
Get down
It's sink or swim
Shut up！
Thanks Sato!
Good reaction. Great song. They all are amazing performers. Maybe “Different” next. Also a heavy and fast song. Thank you for this one.
Thank you for watching John :)
Rinne is Akane's song man. She hit those drums so hard and fast that Tama came out and accused her or assault and battery
Ahahahah, absolutely. Channeling her inner Dave Lombardo on this one
Your interpretation is right. Miku and Kanami work well when putting lyrics together with the music with Saiki tempering where the limits need to be.
You brought up a good point about BM's melodies. While I liked a lot of the instrumentation in hard rock and metal songs...so many of the vocals for recent bands sounded so angry and lost all catchiness for me. The thing I liked about 80s hair bands is they had great melodies so Band Maid fits that wheelhouse of hard rock sound with catchiness.
I just realized you have not responded to Different. It came out on Dec 1st and already has 1.3m views. It is an uptempo song with lots of changes and features a crazy sounding lead riff that turns out to be a real earworm. It definitely was a bit of a different sound for BM when it came out. Might be one to have on your radar
It definitely is now, thanks for the suggestion. That's true though, they fall more into that wheelhouse compared to other more modern bands, especially in metal
@@akaalexanderking I have heard some hard rock/metal fans criticize them for their catchiness so I guess it is a matter of individual taste. In a recent interview Kanami said that in her songwriting she focuses on melodies and riffs (she is constantly writing riffs) but melodies is the most important thing.
Of course, depends on what you listen to your music for. And also how you get there: someone might release anger by chilling to a calm ballad, others prefer to scream along to Behemoth 😁
Different is also "Different" in the that it was the last song for the previous label and is the opening song for the third season for the anime "Log Horizon".
One of my absolute favorites from the girls... and one of the underrated ones IMHO...🤯👍💖
Fantastic song 🤘🏻
🤘🤘❤🤘🤘 MISA MISA MISA!!!!!! 🤘🤘
Excellent!!!!! 😁✌
MISA!!! 🤘🏻😁
The slide solo lick Miku plays is actually from late 50s-60s rock n roll.
"What do you live for?"
#Domination
I wanna say pizza, but I feel it's the wrong answer
@@akaalexanderking Nah, I'd second pizza
I live for BAND-MAID..that's what! "Get down!" 🤘🤘🤘
@@akaalexanderking My friend suggested pizza was her ex-husband's and my vitamin P as we had to have it regularly when we got together or happiness was severely affected.
This is one of those cases of Kanami pushing everyone Akane had to develop her kick technique to add about 20 kicks per minute to get up to the 190 of the song.
MISA MISA MISA!
🙏🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
5 minutes. still waiting
I know guys, I'm with you on this
Soz guys. My internet went down for the day. Naturally i had a story so awesome involving Akane, a bunch of bananas & MISA's missing whiskey but the moment's now lost :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 THERE HE IS! My day is made. lol
@@crabuki1273 I would've replied an hour ago GG Crabuki if i could keep any sort of connection. Workmen are digging up the same stretch of road that they dug up before & damaged fibre optic cables. I've missed "Rinne" & knowing my luck Chase, Champ & Tank will all react to B-M today. P.S you made my day too :)
I'd also like to suggest their biggest competition. "BAND MAIKO"
I heard they're the only band that could possibly outshine BAND MAID.
Stay tuned... 1st of April ;)
I really like the way you "hear" things. Your giggles. Your honesty. Your explanations, insights... + you're quite sympathetic, with a delightful accent (😁) keep up the the good work ! (Where' you from if I may ?) Think I saw all your Band-Maid reactions, I'm glad you're taking time to say how you do feel instead of just saying "dope" then to the next song. Thank you.
Sorry for the late reply, but thanks for the lovely words :) I'm Italian living in Ireland, I guess that explains the accent ahaha
this is great THE HEAVIST
Banger of a tune 🤘🏻
Excellent reacction.Right the way it should be.And yyou´´re righf about Misa.After all,they always make the balance which makes all their songs good.About Akane,you just have to check Freedom and Turn me on
Oh, I know how great of a drummer she is João. Freedom live was phenomenal
Misa and Kaname get all the props for most songs as their contributions are the most obvious. But for someone who doesn't quite get what each instrument does, can you explain Miku's contribution in rhythm guitar? How does it enhance the song and does she do a great job? Lots happening so I can't easily pick out what sound she is throwing at us.
Her work would be more obvious on other songs, here she's adding some very interesting lines as well though. Like that descending slide right after the first chorus ;)
@@akaalexanderking I missed that slide first couple of times listening to this song because of the overall song intensity but it adds so much. BM does a great job of adding little details like that to keep the song from sounding overly repetitive from verse to verse. .
Exactly, little things you keep on discovering on every listen 👍🏻
A good song to listen to if you want to hear Miku's guitar is "Awkward." You can hear her playing the chords while Kanami lays the melody under. Another one is "Matchless Gum." Before Kanami's solo, the only 3 instruments you hear are Akane, MISA, and Miku.
I would say that Miku's rhythm guitar helps build the layers of the songs. It also helps in driving the hype and energy, which allows Kanami to transition into her solos.
Which at the end of the day is what a great rhythmic guitar player should really be all about :)
Did you see those drums? Akane don't now, because she erased them from existence! That's what happens when you don't feed enough bananas to the angry gorilla! 🤘
She went into beast mode 💪🏻
Both versions of Puzzle?
Next Monday ;)
Ciao
Finalmente Rinne!!!
Headbanging incoming... Questa era la loro canzone con BPM più alto prima dell'uscita di Unseen World, io che sono un metallaro la adoro..
Lunedì prossimo Blooming? E per il 1° di Aprile Secret my lips e Secret maiko lips?
Per il primo aprile hai fatto centro ;) settimana prossima probabilmente Puzzle 🤘🏻
@@akaalexanderking Ho appena terminato di leggere i commenti dove è stato menzionato Tshinji.
Anche a me è capitato di leggere qualche sua traduzione di interviste ed approfondimenti, infatti posso darti una chicca sullo stile di Saiki.
A fine video hai notato una influenza hip hop/rap ma non è così, lei stava iniziando una carriera solista prima di essere scrutinata da Miku ed ha influenze jpop e musica tradizionale giapponese(stile Idol)..
In alcune canzoni hard rock/ trash metal delle Band Maid sembra effettivamente rappare, questo è dovuto alla genialità dei testi scritti da Miku, po'!!
I giapponesi adorano il karaoke e anche per loro è difficile cantare le loro canzoni, questo perché la pronuncia giapponese va in contrasto con la musica rock in generale..quindi Miku scrive utilizzando 2 tecniche in modo da snellire e abbreviare determinate frasi, mantenendo musicalità e il tempo.
Saiki fa un lavoro assurdo aiutata anche dal coro di Miku in back, ma Saiki è l'ultima voce che decide il sound di ogni canzone, è lei la produttrice...non chiede mai a Kanami di comporre qualcosa che si adatta alla sua voce e stile, ma si chiude ore ed ore in sala prove finché il brano non è perfetto!
In alcune canzoni ti chiedi quando e dove prende respiro, sempre se respira 😅, e pensare che ogni live dura più di 2 ore a questo ritmo e con questo livello è impressionante!!
In realtà a metà concerto c'è sempre omajinai time, dove Miku fa un piccolo spettacolo tipico dei Maid cafè di Tokio e dopo canta una canzone da solista.
Pausa più che meritata per Saiki..
PS: tutte e 5 sono meticolose e passano ore in studio finché i brani non risultano perfetti, è proprio la mentalità giapponese dove si lavora con serietà e si allenano per continuare a migliorare
Grazie mille per le info Giuseppe, più imparo su queste ragazze più ne rimango impressionato!
Love Band-Maid. Have you ever listened to Tina S?
Not that I'm aware of. Any recommendations? :)
Don't you love the Kanami power-stance? Commitment from them all.
Powerful stance for powerful riffs, perfect equation 🤘🏻
Rinne heavy? Sure, but you haven't listened to Different have you ;-) That song defines their tagline "An impossibly hard rocking maid band".
Uhh, sounds promising ;)
I think Different is the opposite of heavy. It’s fast and thrashy, heavy is supposed to be slow and aggressive
Different was a grower for me. It was a bit mainstreamy, like afterlife and warning. It's fast and thrashy, but very catchy. I want you to react to more crazy and experimental songs from the latest album but I'll be patient. Take your time and enjoy your journey!
This reminds me of a chat I had with my brother a couple of days ago, seems like everyone has a different idea of what heavy music actually is 😁
I'm sure I'll get there, thanks 😉
Good video as always, perhaps you will find interesting this interview that a magazine did to Kanami, she talks about how they write their songs is from earlier this year.
The original is in japanese, this is a translation from the superfan t-shinji from reddit www.reddit.com/r/BandMaid/comments/m2rpth/translation_interview_with_kanami_on_the_march/
I wanna suggest another song from them a slower one, as you said in the video when the play a bit slower they shine more. Don't get me wrong, i love when they play fast too.
From their official channel "Bubble" ua-cam.com/video/T_PWQtc7zVw/v-deo.html
Sorry for the long post.
Thanks a lot Rafael, appreciate the links :)
This is better than the live one I've seen. That one was done for television and shortened up a lot. It was not as good a performance. This, on the other hand, very good I felt.
Great performance 🤘🏻
MISA MISA MISA! the live video available SUCKS not the Bands fault had to be cut for TV
Cut performances are a crime again music :(
@@akaalexanderking they cut the second verse the one with the Pigeon Slides boooooooio
@@DavidMISAMISAMISACook Are you ok Dave? My internet went down all day after speaking to you & only got it back in the last hour (connection is still awful).
Unforgivable
@@akaalexanderking Lol. My apologies GG, i've watched your great reaction twice tho cos i lost connection half way thru the first :)
Ha ha immediately click like even not knowing that🤪🤪🤪
Ahahahah thanks! Hope you actually enjoyed though 😁
TIME is running out for all of YOU! TIME won't wait for babies that won't grow up.
Actually , rarely this is one of their songs where studio one is better , due to production on bass and vocals, isn't there live.
Thanks Paul, glad I picked the best option 😁
Since you're reacting to Japanese bands, you should try this one. A collaboration of 2 bands, Unlucky Morpheus and Undead Corporation. Metal and violin go along very well.

Thanks for the link :)
No. The LIVE version is not better than this. The same is true of 'Blooming'. Not that there's anything wrong with the LIVE, but for 'Rinne' it was an abbreviated LIVE to Video for a Television Show. For 'Blooming' the studio version is just superior to the LIVE version. These are probably the only two songs where that's true.
Thanks for letting me know!
I would add "Clang" but that is a personal preference the live to me doesn't have the punch the studio version does
